Page 8 Portland Observer Thursday, November 16, 1978 Community Calendar Consider runner-up elimination by B ill Schaffer It's probably unwise and maybe even a little u n fa ir to draw any definite conclusion from the open ing ound o f the Class A A A high school fo o tb a ll p la y o ffs . But i f the idea was to gather the state’ s top 10 high school teams under one roof, so to speak, it's back to the drawing board fo r that plan's patrons. Take Benson Tech, fo r example. By no stretch o f the imagination can Tech be included in the state's top 26 Class A A A teams, much less the top 16. Benson finished second in the extremely weak Portland Interscho- lastic League and fo r its trouble was drubbed by Valley League champion Corvallis, 40-7. Before 1 am accused o f being too harsh on Benson, ju s t consider. South Albany, which did not win one game in the Valley League this fall, scored a total o f seven touchdowns in its games with league champion C orvallis and runner-up Crescent Valley. Benson could put only one T D on the board last week and that one a 60-yard run with a fumble. What to do? Why not conduct the playoffs w ith only the district cham pions competing? Maybe being No. 2 makes you try harder but the results are predictable usually. O f the eight run ne rs-u p p a r ticipating in the opening round only tw o — Roseburg and Dallas — won. Roseburg topped A lo h a w hich claimed the Metro League's No. 1 position by virtue o f a coin flip with co-cham pion Sunset and D allas eliminated Intermountain Conference champion LaGrande by one point w ith a co m e -fro m -b e h in d to u ch down in the final two minutes. There may be some merit in a 16- team high school football champion ship but not much. W ith the increase in population we may someday see high schools engaged in a p la y o ff system modeled a fte r that o f the N ational Basketball Association or even worse — the National Hockey League. Just imagine. We may be given the choice o f watching the state high school fo otball championship game or the Rose Bowl game. In the next week or so, readers o f the state’ s daily sports pages in the newspapers can expect to be deluged by reports o f the upcoming “ C ivil W ar” football game pitting Oregon State against Oregon. Next to that im p la u s ib le p re fix the m ost ridiculous aspect o f the game w ill be the propoganda preceding it. On the other hand, the collegiate “ Game o f the Year” in Oregon, unhappily, w ill not be played. That would be the one pitting unbeaten Linfield against once beaten Oregon College o f Education. Ironically, the game was scheduled The Senior Usher Board o f Bethel A .M .E . Church is sponsoring a Bazaar on Saturday. December 2nd — 9:30-5:00 p.m. Bethel A .M E. Church, 5828 N.E. 8th.

Linfield, 8-0, w ill play C arroll College o f Montana Satur day in a N A IA Division 2 quarter final game. OCE, meanwhile, ended the regular season a week ago with an 8-1 record and was h op efu lly waiting fo r a p la y o ff game as this was written. The last three or fo u r L in fie ld - OCE games were good hit, no field affairs with the teams scoring almost at w ill. A game this year probably w o u ld have been no d iffe re n t because b oth teams boast high- powered explosive offenses. So, while we’ ll be reading about the " C iv il W ar” game, some o f us w ill be thinking about the game that might have been. Sometimes, they're the best kind. 221-0598 B irth rig h t free confidential counseling for pregnant girls Mayer Building at 1130S.W MSrrison friend > friend help I J 1 ___ - - .q 5250.000 less Beef Roast N a m ie n USDA Otelee ewwd Tig - PLUS - I k I i m »I fra ia a Narba»«.
