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.
