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-

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.

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

Eagle Point Outlook for a
bright season in basketball for
Eagle Point high has been
dimmed by injuries to a couple

Seven lettermen are back for

injuries which may keep them
out of the line-up for some time.
The two are Frank Reich and
Jerry Cave, both of whom have
been playing on the first quint

behind a knuckle during the
football season. The hand hasn't
healed as it should and Reich
is to undergo surgery next week.
In a Thanksgiving day morning
workout, Cave suffered a foot
injury. Coach Jerry Mosby has
been informed that a bone' in
Cave's foot may be broken.

Caldwell. They, like Cave and
Reich, are seniors.
