more. than once turned the same
in the local's favor.' '.
The .Jells, highly regarded by
pre-season ratings, twice had to
come from, behind as alert Salem

scores with fumble recoveries. ,
The Portlanders bobbled the ball

occasions. '
.The Vikings grabbed a six to

The Norths once again took the
lead early in the second half
when the third'period kickoff was
fumbled by Jefferson's Ken Stodd
and big Jim Gordon, a standout
all night for the Grays, fell on
the ball on the Demo 35. Two

successful sustained drive by
