Pear Bowl Jeff, Indian Gubs Favored 'Dogs, Hilhi Rated Underdogs in Semis By the Associated Press The state high school football playoffs reach the semi-finals to night with the Dallas Indians In vading Albany and Hillsboro Spartans meeting Jefferson of Portland in Multnomah stadium at Portland. Both tilts will start at 8 p. m. The Dalles, unbeaten but tied once, and Jefferson are favored to advance to the finals, although both Albany and Hillsboro are, considered capable of upsetting the dope. In quarter-final games Albany outscored Marshfield, 25-13; Hills boro downed Milwaukie, 12-0; Jefferson walloped St. Helens, 31 7, and The Dalles gained a yard age decision over Klamath Falls in a 13-13 deadlock. Winners of tonight's crucial clashes will tangle for the state prep grid crown In Portland's Multnomah stadium on Dec. 6. Featuring speed and a potent passing attack which carried them through an unbeaten season, The Dalles is expected to carry too many guns for the Albanys of Rex Hunsaker. However, if the Hun sakers are "up" for this one they may spring a real surprise, for they reputedly have one of the top forward walls in the state. Jefferson will have a big weight advantage as she goes- against Hillsboro and also boasts an array of dangerous backs. The Hills boro ball carriers are light but speedy.

' "The men have a great will to win, and I think they have a great chance to do so," comment ed Coach Tom Hamilton. "All our reports on the Artny are compli mentary, but we think we're good, too." That would seem somewhat of a contradiction to the Middies' season record which shows a lone win over Cornell, a tie with Duke and six losses: To California, Co lumbia, Penn, Notre Dame, Geor gia Tech and Penn State. But the talk around town was of an even contest, with some possibility that Navy might go into the game a slight favorite. Dopesters backing the Midship men pointed to Navy's "suicide' schedule as having given 'the Ham ilton charges a Kterner drilling for this test.
