By JACK COLLINS Statesman Sports Correspondent McMINNVILLE (Special) A fantastic sleeper play early'in the fourth period, followed by Gene Ehlers' plunge for the conversion point brought the Amity Warriors a narrow 21-20 victory over Monroe in their Class B semifinals football game here Friday night. Amity now plays the winner off the Union-Moro game next week! for the state B title. I covered a Monroe fumble on the latter's 24-yard line in the final period, Halfback Jerry Lenhardt stood far to one side on the sleeper play. On the first attempt to pass to him, unnoticed by Mon roe, the ball was fumbled. Mon roe still didn't see Lenhardt on the next play, despite screams from the crowd and the Monroe bench, and Ehlers passed to him for the touchdown. This tied the score at 20-20, and Ehlers' con version provided the victory margin. Amity scored firsf, with Gene Ehlers going four yards to climax a 21-yard first quarter drive. Monroe tried a fourth down line play which cost possession of the ball deep in its own territory. Ehlers passed to Halfback Merle Stephens for the conversion point. Monroe, which had the best of the game statistics by consider able, scored three times in the second period, going 68 yards and 34 yards for two TD's, and taking advantage of a fumble break for the third. Harry Smith, Ray Joy ner and Nelson Dake made the tallies, with Joyner and Smith adding the conversion points via line plays. Joyner's try for the third conversion point was stopped.

By TOM YATES Statesman Sports Writer ESTACADA (Special) The Estacada Rangers and St. Helens Lions fought to a 13-13 tie in their Class A-2 football semifinals game here Friday nighty with the. Rangers getting the "victory" nod by virtue of having notched more overall yardage, 304 to 207. The Rangers will now play de fending Class A-2 champ Prine ville next week for the state title in that division. The passing of Del Kiggins and the running of Jim Vickerman, two major items in the Rangers' makeup the entire season, were responsible for Friday s decision. Quarterback Kiggins, operating Coach Keith Moore s T-forma- tioned club, passed for 77 yards. Vickerman made more than 100 yards rushing, 63 coming via a third period touchdown romp. After a scoreless first quarter Coach Andy Knudsen's Lions, who finished second to Prineville last year, scored on a "Statue of Liberty" play when Dave Poff handed qff to Duane Marshall who went around his left end for 38 yards. There were but two sec onds left to play in the half when Marshall scored. Chuck Nolte's placement try went wide. In the third period Estacada took the kickoff and marched 65 yards, with Jerry Wallace going the final half yard on a plunge. The Kiggins passing combo Brother Del to Brother Ron failed to click for the extra point Later in the quarter Estacada went 80 yards in four plays, with Vickerman's 63-yarder producing the score. This time Wallace made good with the extra point via placement and Estacada led 13-6. St Helens scored again in the final period, going 70 yards in a sustained drive. Wayne uart lett piled over for the final yard. Nolte made good with the conver sion via placement and the score was tied. There were no further serious threats in the fourth period, leav ing it up to the game's official statistician. Had the game been decided Front Office New Position Field Skipper Sought - In Big Qui) Shakeup By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor For the first time in three years the Salem Senators are in the market for a new second baseman. Hugh Luby, for the past three seasons playing manager of the ball club, and its regular second sacker, is retiring as m active player The announcement was made Friday mofnin? following a meeting of the club's board of directors and Luby. The generalissimo is to con fine his duties to the general managership of the club, and is today in- California where he is lookin? up prospects for the now open field-managing berth. Thus ends the playing career of one of the game's true "iron men." Luby started in profes sional baseball in 1931. Last sea son was his 22nd as an active player, with one year, 1945, hav ing been spent in the Navy. He was with the New. York Giants in 1944, and between the five seasons of 1939 and 1943 played 868 consecutive games with the San Francisco Seals and Oakland Oaks, which is still the record for the Pacific Coast League. It is estimated that Luby play- j ed well over 3,."500 orofessional ' baseball games in his long car eer, j As general manager be will have complete charge of the club operation, which includes adver tising, concessions, operation, etc. The (Continued next page.) fill Rams Star 1 , i , IX ; Vv ? t J , v ': f - Record Turnout Is Expected For McCulloch Stadium Tilu Outcome Looms as a Tossup Salem's Vikings and Central Catholic's Rams of Portland, the only two Class A-l football teams in the state with perfect records, collide tonight at McCulloch Stadium in their semifinals playoff game.

Uclans'Bowl Express Faces Troian Hurdle By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES W The UCLA football team reaches the end of the road that branches off to the Rose Bowl Saturday and the Bru ins may discover the way blocked ! by the stalwart Trojans of South-! era California. j Upwards of 90.000 will be on hand in Memorial Coliseum to watch the Bruins try to hurdle the final barrier, and many mil lions more will see the affair over a nationwide television hookup. It will be up to the Bruins, coupled with an event ready to unfold 400 miles to the north at Palo Alto, to decide the Rose Bowl race. The Trojans aren't going any where much, being ineligible for the bowl bid and having only a slim chance of landing the less renumerative Pacific Coast Con ference title. UCLA must whack their cross town neighbors, and at Palo Alto, California must unseat Stanford from the driver's role, if UCLA is to gain a clear claim to the Rose Bowl honor. The fireworks start with the kickoff at 1:30 p. m. (PST, and as the "Game of the Week." it goes coast to coast on TV over the National Broadcasting Co. net work. The majority of experts pick triple-threat star Paul Cameron and his Bruin playmates to win. Six points seems to be the gen eral margin predicted. A robust minority sticks with the Trojan warhorse, confident that its mainstays, such as quar terback George Bozanic, left half back Aramis Dandoy and the others will make it two in a row over the team across town. The Trojans have stated the case before and reaffirm it now: "The only way to live in the Both Coach Harry Scarffs de fending state champion Rams, who have not been defeated or tied in 21 straight games, and Lee Gustafson's village Vikings, Salem High Athletic Director Vera Gilmore announced late .

"There wiU be seats ;for everyone attending the game we hope," Gilmore added. who have rolled over 10 straight opponents this season, will be in top shape for the clash. Final workouts for each outfit were completed Friday, and both sides expressed confidence of a vic tory that will send its owner in to the championship game at Portland next Friday, Salem has never before been involved in official playoffs for the state title. The city has nev er before had a prep football team with the sparkling record of the current crew, also. The Rams, who use both the T and double wing formation, are a seasoned lot, loaded with con fidence and finesse. They have yielded only two touchdowns to nine foes this semester. In Vince Altenhofen they have one of the finest prep passers in the state, and in John Vranizan, George Kane and Chuck Withers they have three impressive running backs. The Catholic team will be con siderably bigger than Salem's. But the Viks have been up (Continued on next page.) same town with the Bruins is to beat the hell out of them." , The current coaches.

Edgar Hoover said Happy Birthday to Clark Griffith Friday, but their felicita tions were no match for the mes sage that came in from the Lone Ranger. More than 100 persons showed up at Griffith Stadium to pay their respects to the owner of the Wash ington Senators as he observed bis 84th birthday. The loudest cheers, however, greeted the Lone Ranger's message which included some byplay about a fellow named Jesse James. "The 'Heigh Ho Silver fellow long one of Griffith's favorites, sent along a record which was played before the assemblage, complete with sound effects. After wishing Griffith well, the cowboy radio-TV hero announced: "Tonto tells me that members of his tribe have heard of your ex perience with Jesse James, one of the West i well -known outlaws. And lawmen near Helena. Mont, tell me about your marksmanship. "Your career from frontiersman to baseball' executive has indeed been an inspiration to the youth of America." Griff, who was born Nov. 20, 1889, in the wild country near Clear Creek,. Mo reciprocated: "I'm thanksful for the word from the Lone Ranger. He la my guiding star as far as the world of entertainment is concerned. "I was raised out In Missouri, you know, where Jesse James comes, from. I remember I sad dled his horse once." Hoover, head of the FBI, was on hand to give his personal lead ership to the singing Happy Birthday." He was in fine voice, re marked Griffith. Eisenhower also sent along his best wishes: "I want to Join with. your many friends in wishing you a day filled with some measure of the happi ness which, through your tireless efforts on behalf of the game of baseball, you have brought to mil lions of Americans." "You have my heartiest con gratulations and my best wishes for many years of continued ded ication to that game which you have already served so well." "It was," a tired by happy Griffith reported later, "the best birthday I ever have had."
