Newspaper Page TextPage 6 Eugene Register-Guard, Saturday, Oct. 21, 1944 Uni-Hi Bottles Up Lake To Hold Millers, 0-0 By DICK STRITE SPRINGFIELD, Oct. 21 Jerry Lake's passing arm, which was expected to carry the Springfield Millers to a three-touchdown vic tory over University (Eugene) high here Friday afternoon was an Ineffective as as a lame duck's wing for all but the final minute of the traditional inter-division Tri-County league battle. But in those fading seconds of play the little left halfback pitched two strikes to teammates and threat ened to turn an almost certain screwy 0-0 deadlock Into a victory for Coach John Young's Millers. The two passes, one' to Dave Radmore and another to Harold Raueh.put the ball on the Uni versity 32 with 33 seconds of play remaining. A penalty for too many times out moved the ball back to the 37 where the Millers crossed up the Golden Tide by having BoBo Clingman chuck one to Gordon Allbright to put the ball on the 20. Another penalty pushed the Millers back to the 25.

Doral Etter knocked one down before the, ball left Lake's hand, All bright missed the next one the one-yard line with the tips of his lingers, Ron Hindman knocked another down in dangerous ter ritory, and little Ronnie Salt polished off the fourth one as the game ended. Intercepted Passes and Fumbles That threat was the most ser- lous one of the game, unless the spectators thrilled at the unusual number of Intercepted passes, fumbles and blocked punts. University rolled up two first ilowns on their first series of plays, but the Tigers were forced to punt from mld-ficld. The first break In the game came late In the opening period when Henry Cedros recovered Tom Tugman's fumble on the Springfield 3D. The Millers were held by grent line play by Willie Moore and Charles , Kerry. But on Allbrlght's punt, Tugman called for a fair catch, and the ball, on a curving, down ward flight, hit him, Lake recov ering on the University 40. The a return punt, Keith Jackson Millers failed to advance, but on boomed through the line to block Hlndman's kick, and recovered on the University 20.- With Cling man, Radmore and Lake carrying, the Millers went to the 15 where it penalty set them back to the 20. Lake's fourth-down pass failed. University was forced to kick, but Rauch fumbled and Larry Neer recovered for University on the 50. Salt made three, but on the next play Allbright Inter cepted Tugman's pnss on the La Grande Takes First Prep Title (By Associated Press) Oregon's first district football champion emerged today, (Sat.) as La Grande streamrollerod its last threatening contestant to clinch both the Blue Mountain league and the distrist 1 titles. The unbeaten La Grande Tigers whitewashed the league runner up, Mac-Hi of Milton-Freewater, 26-0, yesterday for a sixth straight voctory. Mac-Hi's only previous defeat had been a 19-12 loss in an earlier tilt with La Grande. In southern Oregon, district 2, Mcdford's Black Tornado clung to its unbeaten and untied record by blanking its traditional rival of Klamath Falls, 21-0. But in district 3, the Albany Bulldogs saw their unbsaten rec ord collapse, 7-6, before a fast improving Milwaukle squad. The u.M.'i. guvc iviiiwauKie us lourtn straight win, after a slow start with one loss and one tie. In another no-name league tilt the Salem Vikings swamped Ore gon City, 20-Ct. Eugene white washed Marshfield,, 13-0, in an inter-district contest. Grant, the defending state champion, and an increasingly threatening Roosevelt squad re mained . neck-and-neck in the race for thd Portland league title, Grant romped over Commerce 38- 7, and Roosevelt halted Franklin, 20-12, to chalk up the fifth league victory for both unbeaten Port' land squads. Two other undefeated elevens held on to their laurels Colum bia Prep of Portland with a 10-0 defeat of Pnrkrose, and Gresham with a 21-0 whitewash of pre viously unbeaten Sandy. In other games, Newberg hand ed Hillsboro its first defeat of the season, 26-20; Corvallis edged Central Catholic of Portland 19 13; Pendleton defeated Baker. 19 12; and Springfield tied Univer sity high of Eugene, 0-0.

Early In the fourth quarter, Allbright was forced to run from a fourth-down punt formation and was smeared on his own 23. One pass failed, Salt made three, and then Blackman again Intercepted another Tugman pass on the 15 and returning to the 23.

Chiaramonte Keglers Retain League Lead The Chiaramonte bowling team set down the ambitious Coca-Cola squad 2934 to 2397 to turn back the chief threat to Its lead in the Major league Friday. High man was Gustafson for the winners with 642. . The Myrmo Machine outfit took the measure of the Jim the Shoe Doctor team, 2816 to 2658, with Mercer of the losers rolling a high score of 603.

The los- i Duncan ers rolled 2761. you have a winning combo Just what Coach Henry Kuchera had Friday night. Statistics bear out the fact that Eugene dominated play in fact all the Pirates could offer was some fine pitching on the part of Don Cassaway, Marshfield quar- leroacK. nunougn tne arst period was piayed on even terms, the Axe men started to roll late in the second frame, and before the eun ending the half was sounded the Big Purple ha4 pushed across its nrsr score. After making a fine return of i-assaway's punt. Marion "Dine. er" Denzer let the ball rest on the Eugene 41. Bodner lost ten yards on a left-end run, being brought down by Guard Pat smith. Hutch then faded and tnrew a 30-yard pass to Quarter back Billy Harber, placing the ball on the Pirate 41. Another try ana anotner strike, this time from Hutch to Denzer, who took it on the 25, crossed up the secondary, and ran it to the 14 before being naiiea. Then the show was Bodner"s. He made nine off left tackle, three over center, one over guard, and then sliced across on a pile up through the line. Hutchinson's attempted pass from placement kick formation failed. After a short drive that was halted on the 43 by interception of a pass by Denzer, the Axemen again took over early in the third period. Walker went around right end for eight yards, Bodner going through left cut off a nice chunk of yardage with a beautiful 26 yard gallop that put the ball on the Marshfield 27. Walker passed to End Darrell Robinson and he made a magnificent catch, putting the ball on the Pirate 16. After an incomplete pass, Bod ner went through left guard for six yards, and a first down on the six. He made two through the line. Harber made two on a quar terback sneak, and then Bodner again smashed it over. Eugene drove once more in the game, this time with the second unit in action. Starting from the Eugene 22, with Floyd Greene, subbing for Bodner, who suffered a slightly injured leg, pacing the way, the Purple drove to the Marshfield 22 before being held for downs. The game ended with an exchange of intercepted pass es. The only time the Pirates se riously threatened was in the dy ing seconds of the first half, when a series of wide flanker passes placed the ball on the Eu gene 24. The entire Eugene team gave a good performance, and credit is especially due the Axemen line for making up for a rather poor performance last week.

Smith 'GreyMask'To Face Mat Test If the boys who lay cold cash on the line provide a criterion the outcome of local professional wrestling matches, the long and unpopular reign of the "Grey Mask" as the uncrowned king of Pacific northwest light-heavyweights will end at the Pearl street arena Saturday night. , The betting boys are giving 5-to-4 that Paavo Katonen takes the measure of the hooded hood lum for some mysteiious reason. The "Mask" has run roughshod over all opponents during the past month, including Katonen. The only basis for the odds favoring the rugged Finnish grappler is the fact that he was the first of the local matmen to take a fall from the mystery man of the mat. But regardless' of the outcome, the match is expected to be one of the most bitter battles of the season with Katonen threatening to butt the "Mask" head-for-head. Paavo has another objective in Saturday's skirmish the idea of forcing Coast Champ Jack Kiser into a title defense if he measures the masked one. Matchmaker Don Owen has ar ranged a sparkling array of talent to appear in the preliminry bouts. Herb Parks, the popular Cana dian who is still hoping for a championship meeting with Kiser, will tangle with Billy McEuin in the semi-final. The tough Texan has just returned from a success ful tour of the southwestern states and is reported in A-l physical condition. The aggressive Parks, however, is expected to match McEuin's deadly kidney punches. The curtain raiser will match Milt Olsen and Pat O'Dowdy in another cleanie-meanie Donny brook, promising fans just . as many thrills and spills as either of the following bouts. Although the Club cigar store reported reserved seat tickets still available, another capacity crowd was expected for Satur day's show. Elton Owen is scheduled to ref eree all three matches.
