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

fo r this Saturday with the provision
that it would not be played i f either
one o f the teams received a post
season bid. 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.
