Then following a 7-0 win over Grant, the Demos dropped a 20- 13- nod to Frcnkhn. Thereafter is was five straight wins, last of which was a convincing 27-7 ver dict over a strong Lincoln club. Too, the Jeffs bad last week off while the Saxons were busy in their bruising game with North Sa iem. This gave the Jeff coaching staff full opportunity to watch the Saxons go at it, and their impres sion following the game was, "They can be beat. Winner of the Friday battle will play the winner of the Milwaukie Beaverton game next week in semi finals play. .The Jefferson High Democrats. opponents for the South Salem Saxons Friday night in Class A-i prep football quarterfinals action here, aren't without their individ ual standouts. Three of Coach Tom DeSylvia s lads were named to the 1954 All- Portland team, and three more made second-team honors. Which is better than par for any all-star pourse. Named to the first team were the two ends, John Peterson and Jerry Spivy.. and Fullback Grant Jackson. Peterson is 6-1 and 160 pounds, Spivy 6-0 end 164. Jackson is a 6-foot, I-inch and 197-pound back.' Second-teamers were Guard Jerome Simpson (6-1. 183), Quar terback Chucfc Rask (5-11. 145) and Halfback Jim Renfro (5-11, 169). On the basis of those selections, it is obvious the Jeffs have a wealth of backfield strength, plus a pair of fine ends. DeSylvia has no less than four ditferei.t offensive systems for nis Jeffs to "use and, after a peek at the Demo record, they've used them well. The team employes single wing, split-T, straight:T end wing-T, according to Saxon Coach Lee Gustafson's scouting re ports. : 1 ' A tug item bothering tne Saxon mentor is the way in which the Demos have steadily improved over the season.

Wallick Sad Loser in Bicep Main Event With Steve Gob It just wasn't Leo Wallick's night at the Armory last evening. Briefly, the usually bruising Leo lost the first fall of his match with Steve Gob even before the starting bell rang, got his bead cut in the process and then, while arguing with Referee Dick Torio, was drop kicked in the back, which brought about the loss of the second and deciding falL Apparently still angry over the squabble he bad with Leo here the week before. Gob swung on Wallick as the two were listening to Ret Torio's mid-ring instruc tions. Gob kept after Leo and knocked him from the ring. Torio ordered the bell to be rung, start ing the mix, but someone forgot to set it Off. At any rate Torio counted Wal lick out before he returned to the ring and Gob was given the first falL Wallick's head was cut by Gob's punches. Wallick was about to apply his crushing pile driver in the sec ond fall, clinging to Gob's tights to make certain of it Torio broke the bold and Wallick swung on him. Then while Wallick was ver bally going at it with the referee, and fans were beginning to crowd around the ring. Gob let fly with a terrific drop kick from behind Wallick and that was that The semifinal had plenty of fireworks also, and ended In a draw between Luis Martinez and Don Kindred. Kindred had won the first fall with his vicious head butts and had the Mexican dandy all set for No. 2, also using head butts. But when the big Negro refused to pin the helpless Mar tinez, Referee Elton Owen (he worked the first two matches) disqualified Kindred. The Negro villain was caught In the ropes in the third fall and Martinez was ramming him with headlong tackles. One of Luis' ef forts backfired, however, and he rammed his head against that of Kindred's. It kayoed Martinez, but before Kindred could free him self from the ropes for an easy pin, the final bell rang and the wild brawl ended in a tie. In the opener Torio took the only fall in 30 minutes over Dan ny O'Rourke, using a spectacular back hand spring and crab hold to do it This was also a fast scrap. WINTER GAMES SOUGHT LAKE, PLACID, N. Y. WV-The village of .Lake Placid and the town of North Elba, in which the village is located, voted Monday night to bid for the winter games at the i960 Olympics. : phy case ever since the circuit was formed, is the biff stake here Sat urday afternoon when the wolf' pac takes fin the Oregon Tech Owls ia the 2 p. m. Homecoming feature. , . OTI, loaded with imported talent from Ohio, Oklahoma and Calif ornia, leads the conference at pre sent with a spotless record. OCE has lost one game, the first in conference history, to Portland State. A wm for Coach Bill Mc Arthur's Wolves in the Saturday dash wilTassure them of at least a tie for the 1954 championship, A win for Rex Hunsaker's Owls will put ths title in the bag for them. :. '. The Owls have been rated as heavy favorites to win the big one here. Scouted by Assistant John Chamberlain of OCE, the visiting Klamath Falls club "is at leaf t a four-touchdown favorite over us they are that much stronger," he insists. I' ' i 4 Chamberlain adds that in Ray Rosa, a Daly City, Cal., boy; the Owls have "one of the finest pass ers I've seen since van Brocklin. Other outstanding; backs for the OTI s are Odie Canada of Portland, Dou? Crippen of ! Medford, Willie Stinson and Calvin Smith of Ohio and Al Linous of California. It has been learned here that the Ow'.s have been pointing to the OCE game throughout the sea son, and have ' scouted the Wolf pack in every! game, they have played, vows-and pledges of vic tory nave been heard at Klamath Falls for weeks. The Owls came to Monmouth two years ago after vowing to beat OCE by 100 points. Yet Ihey went home with a 13-12 loss. This year's OTI team is a much stronger one than that of 1952 and both Mc Ar thur and Chamberlain feel that chances of registering another up set are mighty sum. Senators Directors Welcome Lane Gty . By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor -; A professional baseball dream long held by locaL enthusiasts getting Eugene into the same league with the Salem Senators has come true. - It was 'announced Tuesday by new Northwest League i PresT-' dent Arthur H. Pohlman of Wenatchee that "Eugene has met requirements to join the league and I has been accepted as its seventh member." Eugene was scheduled to join the new Class B loop last week end during a meeting at Yakima, but representatives left without making the; move expected of them. They i were somewhat at odds with other club; directors over the amount of money to be posted by each club. Obviously ; that has now been straightened out and Eugene oins Salem,, Yakima, Wenatchee, Tri-City, Lewiston and Spokane in the , circuit, leaving but one more vacancy. ; . That vacancy in all probability willbe filled by Tacoma , soon. Ben Cheney, wealthy lumberman who has had holdings in the Medford area as well as in Ta coma, is said to be backing the Tacoma bid to enter the league and that it will be accomplished when he returns from a business trip in the : east Cheney report edly owns the ball park in Ta- comai also, j v ' " Senators directors received the news from Wenatchee with a wide grin, j It has always been felt that Eugene,, only 70 miles distant would make a terrific rival for Salem. It is known that many Eugene baseball fans have wanted to ; see an entry in "the league also. . The Eugene operation is to be backed by j 14 men in the Lane County city, the group being headed . by Lumberman Frank Graham and Lawyer-Legislator Don Husband. The city's park in the Bethel district is to be re modeled and the league games will be played there. me iNorinwest League re places the Western. Internation al, which officially goes defunvt next month. The new league has many more restrictions on clas sification, i veterans, salary, etc., than did the WIL. Senators General Manager Hugh Luby, upon hearing of Eugenes entry last night said, "I'm really tickled we've want ed to see; Eugene in our league ever since I've been here. It's great news. Now all we've eot to do is to get us a ball club. One that will beat Eugene but the rest of them too. Eugene i has had some Drofes. sional league experience in re cent years, as a member of the Class D Far West circuit which folded.
