All but Fumiss are juniors. Carmichael will send his leading rusher quarterback Adam Manley 5’8” 140 lbs., at Hepp ner along with a number of run ning backs in a multiple set of fense. The Cougars split between the run and the pass equally. The defense is anchored by senior captain Jed Owen in the defensive secondary and linebacker Brody Thompson. Several of the offensive lineman also see duty in the defensive line, although coach Carmichael sees depth as a strength of his team. Crow competes in the TriCo league with Monroe, Harrisburg, Central Linn and several other teams. Crow is located 15 miles southwest of Eugene. The season started slowly for the Cougars as they lost a non league encounter to Kennedy of Mt. Angel, 22-7, and dropped their first league game to Monroe, 14-7.

Excavation postponed on Pioneer Memorial Clinic Excavation for the new addi tion to Pioneer Memorial Clinic, scheduled to begin last week will be postponed until after the Thanksgiving holiday, at least un til Nov. 30, according to Gary Nolan, environmental services director at Pioneer Memorial Hospital. The city planning commission, which met Tuesday, Nov. 24, to consider the clinic addition, has postponed their decision as to whether or not to approve the plan until Wednesday, Nov. 25. City plannning commission chairperson Cyde Estes said that parking and increased traffic flow on Thompson and Morrow Streets near the clinic are major concerns of residents of the area. The proposed addition will bring the Home Health, physical therapy and possibly the public health offices to the clinic. Plans are to increase parking from 12 to 20 spaces. The addition was originally to be completed by the end of February, but construction was postponed because of changes of the length of the addition, from 64 feet to 98 feet, which required approval by the commission.
