OCTOBER 6, 1978 PAGE 11 P itt Clings to Club Title No one was surprised when last year’s Kah-Nee-Ta Golf Associatidh champion hung onto his title at the two-day tourna ment September 23-24. The num ber of strokes between Louie Pitt and his closest competition may have been a source of wonder, however. Pitt finished 36 holes with a gross of 143, three over par. Bob Wilkinson came in fourteen strokes behind with a 157. Kah-Nee-Ta golf pro Jim Wilkinson said he thought this w aathe “ largest margin of vic tory” in the history of the'club championships. Wilkinson attributed P itt’s sweep to a lot of practice and good concentration. Third place went to Levi Bobb with 158, and Gary Rood took fourth with 162. In the net division, Lester Tanewa'sha headed the pack with 130. Benny Heath was second with 135, trailed by Cecil Seyler’s 137 and Cecil Connor with 141. High score went to George Clements who managed to rack up 219 strokes on the par 140 course. Cecil Conner and Cecil Sey- ler lasted five holes in the Horse Race, taking first place in that event. Gary Rood apparently has the power swing in the club, having captured four “Long Drives” in the two days^, A steak dinner on the patio capped off the occasion, while elections produced new officers for the coming year. Levi Bobb is the new president, replacing Cecil Conner, who became the new secretary-treasurer. Vice President is Dwayne Brockett, the reputed ( mayor of Pine Grove. Next year’s tournament chairman will be Bob Wilkinson.

There goes the No. 1 spot for the Vale Vikings, the state’s top-rated AA team, until last Friday night when the Buffs were down 12-7 with just four seconds remaining on the clock and the ball sitting on the 20 yard line. Quarterback Jimmy Souers faded back as time was running out and found slotback Chester Van Pelt open and fired him the winning touchdown pass. This surely is one of the Madras Buffs greatest wins in history because the Vale Vikings are always a powerhouse on the grid iron year after year. The Vikings came into the game with a 4 win and 0 loss record and a" rating of number one class A A team in' the State. At that time Vale had already beaten two class AAA teams and appeared to be a top contender for this year’s State Champion ship. After a scoreless first quar ter the Vikings did all of their scoring in the second period. After the first score, the Vikings missed the kick to give them a 6-0 lead. The next PAT they tried a run and they were stopped be hind the line of scrimmage. The score at this point was 12-0. After intermission the Buffs seemed to have dug in and forced the Vik ings to give up the ball time after time. The Buffs had some good drives in the third quarter but just couldn’t push the ball into the end zone. They were down to the four yard line at one point but were held on downs and had to give up the ball. At the start of the fourth and final quarter the see-saw started until mid-way through the final stanza the Madras drive came alive. They drove down to the seven yard line and from there Souers faded back and hit Pat Earl in the end zone. The PAT was good from the kick of Doyle Gilliland to make the score 12-7. After the kick-off to Vale there was a short drive but the Buffaloes dug in on the 30 yard line where they took possession with just minutes left in the game. At this point it looked like it was a mile away to the end zone for the Buffs. But with good passing, pass catching and hard running by Tony Carson and especially the “Bullish” running of Brandon Lofting, the Buffs moved the ball to the twenty yard line. With just four seconds left on the score board clock, a Souers to Van Pelt pass did the job. With determination, the up set by the Buffs over the Vikings was one of the biggies in the state. The Buffs outgained the Vikings by a total of 269 to Vale’s 134. All of Madras scoring was off passes from Jim Souers, first to Pat E arl and the second to Chester Van Pelt, and one kick by Gilliland which was the de ciding factor in the game. After the last TD pass; the entire bench went wild onto the field resulting in the Buffs being penalized for delay of game. This put the ball just inches out of range for a kick. The final score was Madras 13 and Vale 12. The next outing for the Buff’s will be on October 14 when they travel to Nyssa. In this week’s polls Madras rose to the ranking of 12th in the state and Vale dropped from No. 1 to 7th. Also making a shuffle in the Greater Oregon League was Crook County with their impres sive win over Mac Hi which put them in 18th place. The two Central Oregon teams were the shockers this last weekend. All the players from Warm Springs who saw action in the Sept. 29th game were Frank Charley, Ray Hurtado,- Russell Charley, Oswald Tias, Jim Souers, Bob Brunoe and Chester Van Pelt. • As of today the standings are as follows: Team W L Burns 10 Madras 11 Crook County 1 1 Vale 11 MacHi 11 Nyssa 11 Grant Union 0 1 ANSWERS 1. ¿Leeman Bennett 2.
