The Cavemen did it by bulling' their way; to a first period touch down Just as the cold weather started the teams to fumbling. Jefferson bobbled the ball on its own 30-yard line, and Grants Pass recovered. Halfbacks Don Donovan and Vern Craft bucked to the 3 and Quarterback Clint Reese sneaked over from there. Fumbles kept both teams from developing a serious' threat there after. Jefferson in fact never got BUI Beard, who will make his beyond the Grants Pass 40-yard I baseball managerial debut with line. Skies turned so dark in the fourth quarter that the Multno mah stadium lihgts had to be turned on to enable the 9,244 fans to follow the game. For Grants Pass it was the first t clean cut state title on record. The closest the Cavemen came previously was track co-championship. The two teams matched first downs eight each but Coach Mel Ingram's team rolled off 222 yards net gain compared with 174 by the Democrats to post the se cond touchdown scored- against the Portland title holder this season. The deepest Jeff drive against the Cavemen was in the tniru quarter to the 40 but the slippery ball and turf was too much. The drive stalled. Monte Brethauer, Jefferson end, re- Eeatedly punted his team out of azardous spots. Standouts for the Cavemen were Donovan and Craft in the backfield and Keith Bertrand at end, Guard Harold Dotts and Center Dick Warren on the line. The victory was the 10th in 12 starts for Grants Pass. The Cavemen were tied by Roseburg 19-19 and defeated early in the season by Medford, 7 to 6. Later, after knocking over Albany 13 to 7, the Cavemen jumped to the fi nal with Jefferson by trimming Medford 13 to 6. Beard Visits Talks on Club ClemsonEnds Shed Unbeaten CHARLESTON, S.

Dean and Bud, Wednesday swing back Into armory fistic action after a lone local layoff. Both bov have hon as. signed four-round prelim roles on Matchmaker Tex Salkeld's 28-round show. Young Dean, now handled by the Manny Morrell-Georgie Mas ters local combine, takes on Al ! Cliff, Portland welterweight in his shot, and Middleweight Bud goes on with Dick Collie, the fast-coming Portlander who has displayed a punishing knockout punch in his previous two Salem excursions. One more four-rounder is to be added to the show, and it will open the punching party at 8:30 p.m. The show's six-round special puts Irish Johnny O'Day in with Modoc Jack, an Indian puncher from Reno, Nev. O'Day. once popu lar here, scored a surprising knock out win over Tqny Kahut in his last Salem appearance. Both Monty (Chief) Montgom ery and Bobby Richards, the light weight who are to make with the main event mayhem, are still hard at their training work in Portland. Both are reportedly in A-l physi cal shape and ready to take up from where they left off in that punch-packed 15-rounder they had here over a year ago. Richards won that via decision. The hard hitting Klamath Indian vows a kayo win as retaliation this time. Tickets for the sl'ow, at popular prices, go on sale at Maple's Mon- ua morn. SHOES AT $5.00 A DOZEN? Sounds right foolish, doesn't it? Yet, that's about the average billjon the repair -work for a dozen shoes, these days. And it's : much different from the prices of any new shoes" Of course we sell new shoes . . . all we can get. But we want to be fair about this thing. Many folks are inclined to toss out a pair of shoes when the soles get thin. That's not smart. Even if you're not going to wear them for dress shoes . . . let us fix them up for gardening or any outdoor work. Times are good and money is pretty free but Beri Franklin is still righ about a penny saved.
