Last week he was No. 13, Jim Sinnerud of Beaverton. This week he's No. 50, Johnny Johnson of Marshfield. Saxons play Marshfield for , state grid title Friday night. (See story at right) College Comments . . By TOM Northwest football had its swan song last Saturday, but the host schools in Homecoming tussles didn't fare well at all, with Oregon Mtate finally giving way to the inevitable and dropping one to Ore gon, and Oregon Tech putting the kibosh on the Southern Oregon festivities . . . The OTI 44 to 14 victory at the expense of the Red Raiders probably didn't make Rex Hunsaker and his Klamath Falls . OCC co-champs any more popular in Ashaland than they already were. And that was something - akin to real, honest to goodness hatred . . . Hunsaker's lament to our boss that the Techs shouldn't be rated so high 'cause they only go to the sophomore year rates a rebuttal on the grounds that ., things are evened up by the fas cination the Owl institution holds for so many out-of-state gridders. , Even Ohio, yet. . . While on the; subject of imported talent,' it might be well to point out that any thought that the College of Idaho bubble burst when Willam ette edged the Coyotes 7-0 is just; wishful thinking. Sam Voke's ros ter was small but efficient, and it included but two seniors, Joe Kahahawai and Ted Shannon, both guards. The C of I's had won 13 Northwest Conference mixes in. a row when dumped by the Bear cats . . . Our schedule failed to list the Lewis & Clark game with Eastern Washington played last Saturday on Palatine Hills, but we imagine the Savages would just as soon have passed up the en counter with Joe Huston's NWC co-champs. Needless to say the Pioneers rolled to their eighth 'straight victory of the campaign, ' 38 to 13. That amounts to the longest win streak for an L & C eleven since 1950 when that year's conference champs went through a nine game season undefeated. The Pioneers said farewell to seven seniors, but only Guard Darrl Everett was a regular. ' . Basketball Season Very Near at Hand Only a little over a week until basketball starts, which should bring smiles to the fans and upset stomachs to the coaches . . . Oregon College will make one of its infrequent Salem appearances this year, taking on the Bearcats on the State Street maple. Decem ber 14. Last year Coach Bob Livingston's cagers were tabbed the mighty midgets, with no one topping 6-1 on the Wolf roster. This year they may be stuck with a .label of Beardless Wonders as Liv ingston attempts to mold a team with but two lettermen returning, 'Guards Larry Chamberlain and Darrel Davis ... Meanwhile at Willamette, John Lewis is hurriedly shuffling through various line up combinations that include nothing but vets. About the surest bets at this early date for starting berths are Pete Reed and Neil Causbie up front and Dick Hoy at guard. The 'Cats are so deep in forwards and centers that Hoy figures to captain the squad from behind the key all year. With Reed and Causbie in there, along with either Tom Gooding or Jack Bishop the Methodists will be able to drive their opponents whacky trying to figure out who is playing the post, all four being accomplished pivot men... M Whitman appear to-be in the worst shape right now as far as returning talent is concerned All-Conference Guard Don Parker was expected back to plague Whit foes with his scrappy play, hut the hustler with springs in his legs got drafted. Gone also are Dick Fain, out most of last year with an injury, and Home Robinette. Earle Walker, NWC rushing king this fall, may graduate mid-term, while Howie Wallenberg is ineligible 'til next semester . . . Mean while, Eldon Fix at Lewis & Clark is trying to build another champ ionship five around three returning starters, but the two vacancies are at the forward spot, and high scoring Ken Servas is among the ' missing. . ; " ; . i I George Matile, former Willamette basketball and baseball ace, is .back on the WU campus after a pair of years in the service. Matile, who joined the Pittsburgh Pirate chain in 1950, played with Waco, the Big State League champs, last summer. His contract has been advanced to Denver of the Class A Western League . . . Dan Montag, another former Bearcat hoopster, is back in Portland after his tour with the military and is playing AAU ball with a group called the Orphans, , .. ; ! .

' The most goals ever scored in an American Hockey League game was 22 when Cleveland de feated Pittsburgh 12-10 on March 17. 1945. w By AL LIGHTNER - Statesman Sports Editor The most versatile member of the South Salem Saxons football family isn't Triple-threater Herb Jaraa, r Guard-line backer Lar ry Newsome or Halfback Neal ScheideL This distinction goes to Lou DeLoretto, the Saxon Junior varsity coach who guided his squad through an undefeated cam paign, v V - - , -No, Lou doesn't get into the Fri day night acts for other than be ing a scoot for the South Salems. His actual contact work, is usually Saxon Weight Marshfield's List Size For Championship Mix . South Salem High's Saxons, one of the biggest as well as one of the best prep football teams in the state, will find themselves up against an outfit just as sizeable Friday night when they go against Marshfield High's Pirates in the Oregon A-l championship battle at Portland. Pete Susick's Coos Bay clan boasts a 185-pound line and a 176 pound backiield. And that is con sidered mighty good size for any Oregon, prep team. The Saxons can match the Marshfield forwards with a 185 pound average of their own, but can't quite equal the backfield weight South Salem's offensive quartet' will average 172 pounds, four pounds lower than the Marshfield foursome of Quarter back Sandy Fraser (190), Half backs Johnny Johnson (166) and Tom Metzger (161) and Fullback Denny Baker (186). The Saxons' four carry the fol lowing heftiness (according to program): Herb Juran 180, Neal Scheidel 175, Jim Anderson 170, and LaMoyne Mapes 163. Up front the Pirates go as fol lows: Roger Johnson (180) and Frank Yeiter (160) at ends, Terry Williams (194) and Gene Tank ersley (207) at tackles, Don Bran don (190) and Terry Cox (176) at guards and Bob Peterson (186) at center. Those weights are accord ing to program listings also. The Saxon offensive line looks like this: Phil Burkland (189) and Ed Keech (170) at ends, Bob Grif fin (190) and Jerry Walling (195) at tackles, Larry Newsome (180) and Rod McClellan (195) at guards, and Bob Smith (178) at center.- o-:; The Saxons went over the scout ing report on Marshfield Tues day, operating against both offen sive and defensive patterns em ployed by the Pirates. Special note was taken that in all their games this season the Pirates have depended almost entirely on a ground attack in running up their spectacular 11-game winning streak. The Marshfields pass very little. Of course the shrewd Susick, who seems to have his teams in the playoffs on an-almost annual basis, might install some aerial maneuvers this week in an at tempt to catch the Saxons off bal ance. Susick has two fine defensive ends in Roger Johnson and Yei ter, but they have not been called upon to grab off many passes while on offense. Quarterback Fraser, a big lad of 6-2 in height is the Marshfield passer from their split-T formation. Most of the Marshfield attack has been shouldered by Left-half Johnny Johnson during the sea son, and he'll no doubt be the Pirates' big hope for touchdowns Friday night He is unquestion ably one of the best prep running backs in Oregon. Tickets for the championship clash are available here at South Salem Hjgh and - at Wicklund's Sporting Goods Store. Also, in formation concerning the round trip jaunt to Portland via special bus can be obtained at either place. There is quite a move on to form a huge caravan of buses and autos for the trip to the stadium. This is the first Salem team ever to play for the state title. Pirates Equal Kamaroff Takes Mat Victory Over Wallick in Armory Mix ' Ivan (Killer) Kamaroff,' sur viving one of Leo Wallick's pun ishing pile drivers, emerged win ner in their mam event mat battle at the Armory last night It was rough, tough squabble all the way, but one that had plenty of wrestling in it Kamaroff got the first fall with his favorite hold, a bear hug. Wallick made it even' in No. 2 by using his pile driver. Usually this eonvincer renders its vic tims useless for the balance of the session. . . . But Ivan's brother, Boris, spent the entire intermission working on his fallen kin and got him ready for the third fall. .When Wallick came back, he was rarin for the kilL Boris was still in the ring when Leo arrived, v Wallick first took another crack at Ivan, before the bell rang, and this caused Boris to reciprocate, almost creating a riot Boris then left the ring and Wallick went for another pila wrapped up on each Tuesday, prior to the Saxons' next game. One week the 28-year-old native of Eahway, N. J, will be a qaar. terback, the next week a fancy stepping halfback and the next week a booming fullback. Because of his ability with a football, De Loretto dons pads and .helmet each week and plays the role of. the star backfleld performer known to be on the opposing team that weekend.

RON ASCHBACHER Named tackle for West OSC Tackle Gets West Bid CORVALLIS (Special) Ron Aschbacher, Oregon State Col lege's rugged tackle, has been chosen to play in the annual East-West Shrine game on New Year's Day in San Francisco. The announcement came from Len Casanova, University of Oregon coach who will be one of the mentors for the West A strong recommendation by Casanova was important in Aschbacher's choice for" the game.'- - ' 'After nearly being cut from the OSC squad last year, the big tackle developed into one of the strongest linemen on the coast late in the 1954 season. .He con sistently led his teammates in number of tackles and assists. . The last Oregon Stater to play in the East-West classic was Sam Baker, the hard-running fullback, in the 1953 game. This i brings to four the num ber of men, from Oregon who will play-in 'the New Year's Day game.. Three from the Univer sity , already named are George Shaw, Jack Patera and Son Pheister. . . .

But this time Wallick found the 220- pound Kamaroff too bulky to handle quickly enough and Ivan reversed Wallick's effort Dy slam ming through with a back body drop that flattened Leo. Ivan stayed atop until the necessary toll was made and came out of it all the winner. Boris then came back in- to help with the gloating over the win. - ; . : " , -; :-- , ' ' - In the semifinal Dick Torio downed Henry (Golden Adonis) Lenz in the only fall with a jack knife hold, the highlight of a well-received 30-rainute match.

Before 1 coming here he quarterbacked the i Eastern Oregon College Mountain eers for two years, and when in : high school in New Jersey was an . all-state nominee as a quarterback i and right halfback. His assnming role of opposing star each week in scrimmage is a big part of the Saxon practice. Being up against such experience is a test for the South Salem de tensive platoon. Besides, it's helpful to the team to have, DeLoretto absorb the bumps and bruises in practice, rmer man one or the regulars. X i - V ' i Xrnas ( I r Ycur I ( Ticket$ (( KJ, Now!
