Swim team gaining in title race
for championship against Wilson
“So near and yet so far away”
is a famous phrase and never
could it be applied to a better
situation. The boys’ and girls’
swim teams seem to get closer
and closer to Wilson but never
get close enough to take over
first place.
-Suffering their only loss to the
Indians, the boys’ team is pre
paring for the city meet, No
vember 4, at the Multnomah
Club. The team will enter two
relays as well as the individual
events.
Top swimmers for the team
are sophomores Mike Philip,
Jeff Pitmen, and Mark Powell;
juniors White Walker, John
Evans, and Jim Messerschmidt;
senior Bob Mills and freshmen
Rick Mills and Darryl Pape.
“I expect a strong effort by
the team,” revealed Coach Carl
Rubin.
The girls’ team is also doing
a fine job in representing their
school.
Their top swimmers are soph
omores Ann Seidel and Sue
Gottsch and junior Patty Jenson.
The girls will also compete at
the city meet. Both teams will
try to get swimmers in the top
four places of each event. These
players will then go to state at
Eugene.
The team finished the regular
season yesterday against Benson.
“Nice going team. The Fresh
men, Junior Varsity, and Varsity
teams finished out their dual
meet seasons as undefeated PIL
champions. You all performed
real well on a cold, wet, and
muddy day.”
Who could say it better
than a coach when talking
about how his team has
done during the season.
Those words belong to
Coach Mark Cotton and the
“team” is none other than
the Cross Country team
which has completed the
season with a spotless rec
ord.
Now the teams will look to
the city and state competitions
“MAKE THAT KICK!” sounded through the field as Dave Ed
wards (85) tried for the extra point that would have tied the
game. Cleveland downed the Generals, 7-6.

THE GRANTONIAN
Undefeated teams
prepare to meet
'tough'opponents
“Big, not too fast, but tough
and undefeated,” is the way
J.V. Coach Roy Harrington de
scribed up-coming opponent,
Marshall. But he also added that
the “spirit attitude is higher
than ever on the team.”
Marshall will also be giv
ing the Frosh team a bad
time as their freshman are
undefeated, too. Both of our
teams are undefeated and
plan on staying that way.
Scoring 18 points in the first
18 minutes of the game is one
reason why the J.V. team beat
the Franklin Quakers, 18-6. The
other reason was strong defense
in the rest of the game.
“The defense has been
great all season, and they
were exceptional against
Franklin,”
commented
Coach Harrington.
As for the Frosh, their record
now stands 4-0-1. The team has
developed a strong defense and
offense that has kept them on
top of their foes.
Tension ran high in the Frank
lin game, when the freshmen
grid-ironers put all they had into
the second half of the game as
they tied the score after trailing
13-0 for three quarters.
“I expect that Cleveland and
Marshall will be as tough as
Franklin,” explained Coach Bill
White; “but if the guys can play
as hard as they did in that sec
ond half, I think we can win.”
Outstanding players in the
Franklin games were juniors
Bill Hjlm, Bill Helt, Blane
Fransden, John Frazer, Steve
Rooney and Mark Pienett; and
freshmen June Jones, Rob Laird,
and Joe Peyton.

On the mind of most students
right now is whether we get to
state or not. This same question
is on the-mind of Coach Frank
Wolf and on the football team.
After falling to Cleveland, 7-6,
the spirits and the confidence of
the team are shaky.
Sometimes the taste of defeat
can make a team shape up and
they never taste defeat again.
This is a nice thought but carry
ing it out is something else.
Marshall is no push-over team.
When Marshall and Cleve
land played, they battled to
the end with Marshall com
ing out one point ahead of
their opponents. The Mar
shall team has been full of
surprises all year. No one
expected them to come
around the way they have.
Rated fourth in the Green di
vision, Marshall has won five
and tied two. Strong runners
and effective passing have
sparked the team to many a vic
tory.
To get to city and state,
the Generals will have to
beat the Minutemen. Strong
offense and solid defense
have made the Generals fa
vorites in the Green Divi
sion and a “team to beat.”
Perhaps the G-men read too
much of their own publicity or
maybe Friday was just an off
night for the team; but what-
ever the cause of the loss, the
Generals never stay down if
they can do anything about it.
They can do something about
it this time. They can beat
Marshall!!!

“We have a good chance of

the meet is still going to be very
tough,” commented Coach Cot
ton.
Coach Gary Noble completed
his third year as freshmen team
coach and his third year of hav
ing city champions with an un
defeated record.
