Friday saw Willamina's first snowfall of the season. A1 though not enough to stick,' it looked like an early winter.
Blood to be drawn at
high school this Monday
The first blood drawing in Willamina's
history will take place Monday, Nov.
12, at the Willamina Union High School
auditorium.
The drawing will begin at 1 p.m. and
will continue until 5:30 "O r as late as
possible, depending on the turnout," said
Woodrow F. Woods, manager of the Wil-
amette Chapter of the American Red
C ross.
The drawing was prompted by open-
heart surgery recently undergone by Dan­
ny Scott, 30, who works at Fort Hill
Lumber Co. The crew at Fort Hill Lum­
ber raised $1,793 to help out with the
cost of the surgery, which involved re­
placing two heart valves. "You don't
have any idea how proud I am of those
boys," said Bud Gordon, plant super­
intendent at Fort Hill.
Scott is now recuperating at home
in Dallas and is reported to be "doing
just fine."
Red C ross volunteers will be on hand
to do the actual drawing, and D r. Ed
LeBold, Salem, will supervise. Approx­
imately twelve people per hour can be
handled by the facilities at the high school.
Cookies, juice and other refreshments
will be provided. '
Woods emphasized that this is an all-
community affair. Willamina was chosen
as the location of the drewing because it
is centrally located in the Sheridan-Wlll-
amina-Grand Ronde area. Sheridan and
Grand Ronde donors are urged to parti­
c ip a te , he stated.
The quota set for the drawing is 50
units.
As this is the first such drawing in
this area, Mr. Woods supplied, the fol­
lowing information which he said might
be helpful to potential donors:
Anybody between the ages of 18 and 65
can be a donor. Those who should not
give blood include: anybody with a cold,
flu o r who has been ill in the past month;
any woman who is pregnant o r who has
delivered within the last six months;
anybody who has undergone major surgery
during the past six months; anybody who
has received blood transfusions o f plasma

Bulldogs stomp Spartans 31-8
Most of the student population takes to the streets for the big noise parade p rio r to the big game last Friday night.
| by TOM ARIMA
Willamina's homecoming and the 35th
renewal of its "Civil W ar" with the Sheri-
ian Spartans was atriumphant success last
Friday night on a freezing Glen Larkin
field, as the Bulldogs crushed the hapless
Spartans 31-8.
The homecoming bonfire was going
strong as Willamina seized control of the
jame late in the first period as the even­
ing tem perature approached 25 degrees.
Following a series of penalties against
x>th team s, which nullified any scoring
hreats* the Bulldogs marched 70 yards
O 13 plays with 185 pound fullback Duane
ttch culminating the drive with a one
'ard plunge. Ken Payne's kick was good
Or the extra point and Willamina led 7-0
19 seconds remaining in the initial
period. Rich, seemingly recovered from an
knee injury, keyed the drive with runs of
13, 13, and 12 yards. Motionback Rusty
Buswell set up Rich's touchdown with a
9 yard run down to the 1.
Early in the second period with the
Bulldogs on Sheridan's 34, halfback Den­
is Blackwell took a handoff from quarter­
back Jeff Johnson and slanted across the
middle of the line as the play action
went the opposite direction. Blackwell
broke clear almost immediately and
dashed the distance for a touchdown, but
a penalty nullified the score and the 'Dog
threat.
Following two series of plays by both
team s, Willamina took possession on the
Spartan 34 with 3:22 remaining before half­
tim e. In two plays, the Bulldogs were down
to the 19 as Rich ran for 9 and Johnson
kept for 6 yards. A few plays later, John­
son connected with Buswell at the Sheri­
dan 7 yard line, but the play was called
back and Willamina was penalized back to
the Spartan 21. Onthe following play, John­
son rolled out left and threw towards the
goal line. Split end Brian Bishop was there
and the 'Dogs had six points. The Spartans
blocked Payne's extrapoint attempt and the
score stood 13-0w ithli01eftin the period.
Early in the third period, the Bulldogs
stalled at mid-field after Sheridan had
kicked off to sta rt the period. Rich was
back to punt on fourth down at his 35,
but a Spartan lineman in attempting to
block the punt knocked Rich down. It re ­
sulted in an automatic first down for Willa­
mina on the Spartan 35 yard line. The Bull­
dogs quickly moved the ball down to the 19.
From the 19, Johnson hit Charlie Lonsford
Fullback Duane Rich makes the first touchdown of the game during the first quarter, while the bonfire still blazes.
on a tackle eligible play to the 10 yard line.
On the next play, Johnson connected with
Blackwell to the 6 followed then by Rich's
smash off right guard into the end zone with
8J2 remaining In the period. The extra
point attempt failed as Johnson fumbled the
snap from center.
A few minutes later, Willamina scored
again. This time traveling 42 yards in 4
plays as Rich galloped 7 yards throuth the
middle of Sheridan's defense for the 'Dogs'
fourth tally. A pass attempt for two points
was no good and the score now stood 25-0
with 4:54 left in the third period.
As the third stanza neared completion,
Willamina's Bishop intercepted a Ken
Bauman pass at the Bulldog 10 yard line.
On the first play of the fourth period with
Willamina on their 13, Buswell, a 130
pounder, ran 16 yards to the Bulldog 29,
On the following play lt was Buswell again
as the 5*5" scooter hit off left tackle and
angled toward the near sideline. He broke
clear at the 50 yard line and outraced
Spartan defenders down the left sideline
for Willamina's last touchdown of the even­
ing. Payne's kick was no good and the
Bulldogs had a 31-01ead w ithll^Srem ain­
ing in the contest.
On the ensuing kickoff,Sheridancameto
life as tailback Bauman started to get yard­
age around Willamina's flanks and fullback
Kurt Pugh was successful between the
tackles. Mixing their plays well, the
Spartans drove down to Willamina's 3.
From the 3, Pugh scored for Sheridan's
lone touchdown with 7:10 left in the game.
Bauman threw to end Don Brown for the
two point conversion.
Sheridan threatened again with under
three minutes to go in the contest, as
Spartan lineman Dan Lauber intercepted a g
Johnson pass at Willamina's 44 yard line.
The Sheridan threat was short lived though,^
as Bulldog Tim Bainter intercepted a p a s s l
at the 8 yard line. The remainingtime ran B
out as Willamina had their twenty-third
triumph In thirty-five meetings against
their neighbors in a series dating back to 1
1939.
