The Saxons' win In the opening round of Ihe state A-l football playoffs moved them Into Ihe semifinal round next weekend against Springfield. The site and time of the game will be an nounced next week by the Oregon School Activities Association. Approximately 1.200 chilled fans sat in the 30-degree weather and watched the Saxons roll to two easy touchdowns in the first period and add one more in the second stanza for a 19-0 half-time lead. However, the fighting Pioneers refused to concede and never quit trying to pull the game out of the fire. They came back la the second half to play the vaunted Saxons to a standstill. this win must go to the South Sa lem defensive unit, which held the Pioneers to an incredible minus 10 yards on the ground and only 105 through the air. Mae Hi was not without lis heroes today, however. Johnny Johnson, a 197-pounder who plays fullback on offense and tackle on defense, almost single-handedly stopped the Saxon's great short side running attack. Johnson held firm time after time to slam down Jerry Goertzea, Billy Har rison and the rest of the Salem backs who tried to go through his position.. Many of the merchants in this northeastern Oregon town of 4.500 people closed up shop today and came out to see the game. They must have wished they'd stayed at home'after what they saw in the first half. The Saxons took the opening kickoff and moved rapidly down field for the first touchdown. Gary D a 1 1 m a returned the kickoff to the 3s, from where Cliff Johnson hit right tackle for nine yards. Goertzea added eight more la the Pioneer 47. On the next play, the Saxon line opened a huge hole over right guard and Dallman broke loose for 45 yards to the two. Salem was offside on the next play, but Dallman got one yard and then Johnson sliced off left end lor the score. Dallman ran the extra point and it was 74 with only two and a half minutes gone. Mac Hi was forced to punt after the kickoff.
