pirates, Saxons State M. o-Champs After 13-13 Tie , By HOWARD APPLEGATE ' Portland U.PJ Marshfield nd South Salem battled to a wet 13-13 tie and Oregon's first class A-l football co-title before 11,866 fans In Multnomah Stadium Fri day night. The Golden Pirates from Coos Bay had to come from behind twice in a game that started in a driving rainstorm and finished with the field a muddy mass of turf. It was a 53-yard gallop around left end by halfback Johnny Johnson, who had been injured only shortly before, that gave Marshfield the impetus for its final touchdown after a bad pitchout and recovered fumble allowed South Salem to go in front. Both teams finished their sea sons unbeaten. Marshfield had won 11 straight and South Salem had won 10 out of 11, being tied 8-6 by Corvallis. Statistics were about even. House Af ira Coach Lee Gustaf son's Saxons, trying to win a title for their new school, started out like a house afire. They drove 77 yeards to a touchdown the first time they got the ball. A 25-yard pass play from quarterback Herb Juran to halfback Neal Scheidel and a 21 yard run by halfback Jimmy An derson were the big gainers. Jur an sneaked over for the touch down, but Len Creasey of Marsh field blocked the extra point. Marshfield got a drive going but fumbled. Then the Priates got rolling and drove 68 yeards in 11 plays for the tying touch down late in the first quarter. Denny Baker and Johnson did most of the ball-packing but quarterback Sandy Fraser hand ed off to fullback Tom Metzger for a one-yard touchdown plunge. The try for point was no good. It remained 6-6 throughout the second and third periods, but Salem was generating momen tum. The Saxons drove to the Marshfield 10 but lost the ball on downs. Key Play Weird Then came one of the game's key and craziest plays. Marsh field s Fraser tried a pitchout that hit Johnson in the chest. The ball went into the end zone. Players from both sides scram bled for it. Someone in the melee gave the pigskin a good thump. It bounced out of the end zone, and Larry Newsome of the Sax ons fell on it on the Marshfield four. Shortly . afterwards LaMoyne Mapes went over and Juran con verted to make it 13-6 South Salem. There was just 8:46 left in the game. Marshfield took the kickoff back to its own 40. Johnson, the 166-pound speedster, took off and raced to the startled Saxons' seven before Bill McDonald man aged to bring him down. A pass interference penalty gave Marsh- c 1 THE TOGGERY SALE AD ON PAGE 11 field a first down on the one and Baker carried the ball over. Fraser Boots Point Fraser then booted the point that tied it up and that's the way it finished. Johnson had left the field in the third quarter after being V snaken up. Each team had 11 first downs. Marshfield picked up 189 yards rushing to 105 for South Salem but the Saxons had 90 yards pass ing to 15 for the Pirates, giving the Coos Bay 11 a 204-195 edge in yards gained.

HUSKERS THUNDER Honolulu KU.R) Nebraska's powerful football team warmed up for the Orange Bowl Friday night with a thundering ground attack that crushed a game, but badly outweighed, Hawaii, 50-0 before 18,000 fans at Honolulu Stadium.

Sundar, lCorambar t9, 1994 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TR1BWTE THIATEOf OSAA Slates Broad Study Of Playoffs Portland U.R The Oregon School Activities Association will survey the present sports playoff system with the view to ward possible revisions to meet objections of some school leaders. - A survey committee was chos en by the OSAA delegate as sembly here yesterday to contact officials of every school in the association for their ideas on the playoffs. At yesterday's meeting, some opposition to the present play offs structure was expressed. Those who objected to the play offs said participating schools had to design their entire sports schedules to coincide with the playoffs. The survey committee, head ed by Virgil Kingsley, superin tendent of schools at Cottage Grove, will report to the dele gate assembly at a special meet ing during the state track meet at Corvallis in the spring. Three Track Divisions - This will be the second such survey taken in the last three years. The last poll heavily fav ored retention of the all-sport playoffs system. The delegate assembly also re vamped representation on the board of control. Under the new setup, three representatives from A-l schools, one from Port land, one from east of the Cas cades and one from western Ore gon, will be on the board. Class A-2 and B schools will have eastern and western representa tion. It was decided to have three championship divisions ' at the state track meet next spring, in stead of two as in the past. The delegates also approved increasing the fee schedule for basketball officials. - f VIKES SLATE TOUR Portland (U.R) Portland State's basketball team will fly to the Far East next week for a month-long tour that will in clude 22 games in Japan, For mosa, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indochina, Cambodia and the' Philippines. , , AX V- -4W WE WILL AMAZE and Delight You SEE 1955 MERCURY DECEiViBESlS EP Hoopmen Sidelined By Injuries Eagle Point Outlook for a bright season in basketball for Eagle Point high has been dimmed by injuries to a couple of top players.
