Viks Share Big Six Title; Axemen Kill District Hope By DAVE BLACKMER Eugene The alert Axemen chopped the District 4 title dreams of Salem high school's football eleven Friday night but won only a share in the Big Six title with the Vikings in scoring a 19-13 triumph over the Mort men before some 4,500 fans. The Axemen kept their own hopes alive along with Lebanon and Albany who also put their bids in for the district crown. The Vikings opened the scor ing early in the first quarter via the advantage of a Eu gene fumble on their own 28 yard line. Gene Garver's spec tacular shot passes hurdled the Salem squad down to the Axe men's six yard stripe. Captain Jim Rock then drove over on a handoff from Garver. Rock's kick was good. One of Eugene's "Barber Shop" twins put the Axemen back in the game in grabbing a Vik fumble. It was recovered by Merrit Barber who outran the Viks to cross over to paydirt for the Eugene Axemen. Don Sicgmund's conversion put the game into a 7-7 dead lock. In the tumble-filled second quarter it was a see-saw game as each team could not get past Mt.

Call It Gill Court Oregon State's million dollar basketball plant will be ready for occupancy before the end of the year and a designa tion for the establishment will soon be needed. Since Slats Gill has done more to advance the sport at Corvallis than any other Individual It would seem entirely proper that the new structure bear his name. Just from the selfish side of the situation "Gill Court" Is a natural from a headline writer's viewpoint The policy of the state board of higher education in declining to name any college building after a living Individual is something on the order of waiting unlit a guy Is dead before pinning a posey on him. Slats appeared in excellent physical condition a few weeks ago and if they wait until he is pushing up the daisies the basketball work shop will be a long time in getting a proper christening.

Class of '19 Celebrates It doesn't seem 30 years ago that Oregon and Harvard were preparing to Invade the Pasadena Rose Bowl tor their championship contest, but the records say that such is the rase.

They will watch the annual OSC-Oregon scrap on llayward field and then withdraw to reminisce. II oil is Huntington, State strret merchant will be among those present. That Oregon-Harvard game was a classic with the boys from the east winning, 7 to 6, largely because of the Webfoots' failure to make good in attempted placeklcks as the game drew to a close. Two or three of the scoring op portunities came late in the contest and while Bill Stears had bern kicking three pointers with regularity all aeason, the best he could do in the clutch was a near miss. In those days If the team attempting a field goal, regained possession as the result of a fourth down blocked kirk, the play reverted to a first down. This happened in the Rosa Bowl contest when a Harvard man blocked Stears' attempt. The ball bounded bark Into Hollis Huntington's arms and the Webfoots ran a series of three plays with out scoring a touchdown. Stears would not attempt th kick again to Skeet Manerud drew the assignment Ills effort was so close that both sides thought It was successful. But Referee George Varnell ruled that the ball had sailed over the goal post a fraction of an inch outside and Har vard woa tht ball ism. the other in the oosy mud. As the horn sounded, ending the first half, the score was still 7-7. In the third quarter Salem began a long march down the field, sparked by Rock after re ceiving the kickoff. Rock drove the last 2 yards across the final stripe good for a six pointer, but his kick fell wide On the following kickoff the Barber twin again took the lead ing role by getting a Eugene TD. Merrit Barber returned the kick- off from the Eugene 25 yard line to the Salem 45. Barber again scooted for 16 yards to put the host team on the Salem 29. Af ter a series of drives Barber again drove hard and crossed the TD stripe. Siegmund's kick was no good as the score again went into a deadlock 13-13. Midway in the fourth quarter the Axemen staged a big drive, this time led by Wally Russell who took the leading role in a 40- yard march. Cece Hodges, co captain, carried the pigskin over Dallas Dragons Surprise Silver Foxes on 25-20 Win Silverton Trailing 20 to 12 at the end of the third period, an alert Dallas Dragon football team came back to score two touchdowns in the final quarter to top the Silverton Foxes 25 to 20.

The Foxes, nothing daunt ed, came back to score twice in the first quarter with Colan and Lincoln being responsible for one each. Both conversions were registered by Bob Burr. The Dragons tallied again just before the Intermission with a 15 yard forward, Har old Griffin to Bill Rosenbalm accounting for the six points. It was 12 to 12 at the half.

Each flat smack of bare skin against leather sent the ball soaring half the dis tance of the field. - Jensen strolled closer and watched. The boy didn't bob ble a punt "What's your name kid," the coach finally asked. "Howard Gibbons, sir." "I've been watching you do ing that kicking," Jensen told him. "Ever play any football?"
