' Season Set for 1p.m. The fourth and final football dish of the season for still hungry pigskin followers comes to pass this week on Sweetland field when iaiem nigrrs so-so viks swap tackles with the power-laden Portland Jefferson . high Demo crats Thursday. The awaited grid morsel,' tabbed for a 1 p.m. start will serve as one course of the Turkey Day doin's hereabouts. Coach T. Drynan's ap-and- ' downers, victorious fear, times, second - best another four and tied once in their nine ontincs , this season, will be forced to the limit Thursday if advance no tices from the Rose City are cor rect. Although the Demos wound ap third In Portland prep play, -they are looked upon In many circles as at present the best el even in the lot. A shaky start nullified a sisxllnr finish by Coach Eric Waldorf's lads. The Democrat line is a little on the Weighty side it averages near the 180-pound per mark but will be outweighed by the big Salems some five pounds per pil lar. What is lost to the Viks in the line is more than made up in the Jeff backfield, however, since it hefts an average of close to 170 pounds per and presents two of the highest scoring threats in the Portland league in 190-pound Full back Ployd Simmons and Right Half Harold Ellmers. Simmons was first In Port land league ' scoring with f 4 points ever the season and was termed a rood bet to make All City. EUmers was fifth In ? the scoring standings with SS points, and although weighing only ISi is reported as being- one of those here - he - Is-there-he-g oes- type rompers. ' On the other hand, the Viks, who are capable of playing A-l football, caAie. through the Friday night Medford 0-0 deadlock in top shape. They'll probably be the same for the Demos. There's even a possibility navy-bound - Tex Worley, the Viks rugged tackle will be on hand for the finale via holiday leave, and if he is the T men will have one of the better linemen in the state to toss against the vaunted Jeff offense. ; Five Aumsville Blood Donors Are Listed AUMSVILLE Annie Collins, Lee- Fort, jr., Marian Randall, John Harm and .Will Sanders all contributed r blood to the Red Cross Wednesday.
