FRIDAY NIGHT . Marshfield at Eugene, Albany at Springfield, St. Francis at Cottage Grove, Crcswell at Junction City, Oakridge at mam. its "the big one" Friday for Eugene s Axemen when they face Marshfield's powerful Pirates at 8 p.m. on the Civic Stadium turf in what could be the deciding battle in the 1954 District 5-A-l prep lootoall campaign. Marshfield, preseason favorite to claim the championship, leads the league with three triumphs while Eugene and North Bend also are unbeaten in their two circuit clashes. While Friday night's encounter could decide this year's winner, both clubs have dangerous hurdles left on the schedule and the loser will not be out of the race. Eugene is due for plenty of trouble at North Bend and Springfield, while Marshfield will close its loop action at North Bend after meeting Medford in a non-league tilt Oct. 29. SIX STRAIGHT Coach Pete Susick's Pirates will be after their seventh tri umph without a loss after pound ing Reedsport, 64-7, Friday nignr. Marsntield has blanked Cottage Grove, 33-0, Springfield, ia-u, ana Kosemirg, 13-0, in league warfare but its other three victories were over Class A-2 teams, including Myrtle i'oint, Coquille, and Reedsport, Coach Loyd Amick's Axemen have whipped Cottage Grove, 25-12, and Roseburg. 19-0. for their two circuit triumphs. In non-league action against 5-A-l opponents, they've defeated Springfield (in a non-counter) and Albany and lost to Klamath Falls and South Salem. Each team will bring a back- field with both speed and power into Friday's contest. Main task for Eugene will be to stop left halfback Johnny Johnson, Marsh- field's little breakaway artist. The 5-foot, 9-inch, 166-pound sen ior shares the 5-A-l scoring lead with Roseburg's Nub Beamer at 36 points. Johnson has tallied 11 times in the three non-league tilts for a season total of 102 points. The Pirates found tough bat tles with lioth Springfield and Roseburg but Johnson broke loose for two touchdown gallops, including a pair in the fourth quarter against Springfield, to prevent a tie or upset in each game. The Marshfield attack has had trouble this season whenever - .-, , (Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire eng.) LINEMAN'S LOOK at Dave Powell is much safer here than the view will be when the Eugene fullback goes into action against Marshfield in Friday night's crucial clash at Civic Stadium. Photographer Phil Wolcott had to be tied in Powell's path but otherwise was as brave as any person in a hurricane's path. Campy Given Good Chance NEW YORK LP Whether an able-bodied Roy Campanella will be behind the plate for the Brook lyn Dodgers next season won't be known for another four or six weeks at least. It will be that long before doc tors can test the results of the second operation in six months on the veteran catcher's left hand. After the four-hour operation Wednesday, it was announced there was an "excellent chance" but no out-and-out guarantee Campy's hand would return to normal. Dr. Samuel Schenkman, a neu rosurgeon who performed the op eration, and Dr. Lyndon Hill, who assisted, offered this appraisal but added: "No more will be known for from four to six weeks, when further tests will be made." 2,000 Track Triumphs SAN BRUNO, Calif. ap Wee Willie Shoemaker, the winning est jockey of them all, rode to his 2,000th victory in five and one-half years of racing Wednes day aboard a claiming horse named Florence House at Tan foran. Ast the 105 pound saddle-smith came back to the winner's circle he received his usual chorus of good-natured boos interspersed with a few hand claps as he pos ed for photographs. It was his 336th winner of the 1954 campaign as he heads for his third national riding cham pionship. Shoemaker tied for the title with Joe Culmone in 1950 and set an all-time world record for winners last year with 485 for that season. He is leading in the race this year. His 2,000th winner paid off $6.50, $3.90 and $2.80 a pretty good price for a fellow who has dominated this meeting at Ian- foran from the start. He was the second favorite of the race. Earlier, Shoemaker had won the first race in a photo finish, finished sixth in the second on a six-to-one shot, finished second in the third, and won in the fifth on a horse named Sure Time which paid S6.30. He then booted home his 2,000th winner in the sixth, In the 2,000th victory aboard Florence House, Wee Willie rode a typical Shoemaker race. He was last in the six horse field coming into the stretch, but came up to collar the leaders with his usual perfect timing just before he hit the tape. The little jockey from Texas now is tenth on the all-time list of riders. However, those ahead of him have been riding three to five times as long. Johnny Long- den, who has won more than 4,-i 400 races has been riding 28' years.

Eugene can counter with four exceptionally fast halfbacks in Bob Anderson, another danger ous breakaway threat who is fourth in the district scoring race with 20 points, Pete King, Bob Brown, and Bob Gabriel. Most consistent ground gainer, how ever, has been Fullback Dave Powell, a terror through the mid dle of the line throughout the season. While the Axemen have relied mainly on a ground attack, Quar terback Mel Olscn's passing is deadly enough to keep any de fense honest, Another vital tussle in the league Friday will be at Rose burg, where the Indians will host North Bend. Led by fullback Wil lard Reeve, the visiting Bulldogs will be slight favorites to win their third victory. Roseburg has Beamer and a 2-2 record. The other 5-A-l outfits will be at home for 8 p.m. non-league contests. Springfield, after halt ing a 13-game losing streak with a deadlock against Corvallis, rates an even chance against Al bany. Cottage Grove is favored over the 5-A-2 Saints of St. Fran cis. RUNNERUP BATTLE Only action expected to affect the race among 5-A-2 clubs will be at 1:30 p.m. Friday when Wil lamette travels to Pleasant Hill, The Wolverines and Billies, in a 3-1 deadlock with Oakridge for runnerup spot, must win to re tain hopes in the title chase. Undefeated Junction City is ex pected to breeze to its fifth vic tory when the Tigers host winless Creswell, while Oakridge may have more trouble but should re main in contention at Drain in 8 p.m. battles.
