Phoenix, St. Mary's Eye
Conference Grid Diadems
Phoenix and St. Mary's high
schools will strive to complete
unbeaten conference slates this
week end in the program of
five prep football games in
which Jackson county schools
will participate.
St. Mary's, Medford parochial
academy, is host to Jacksonville
in the lone Saturday night en
gagement of the five. Friday
games are Eagle Point at Phoen
ix, Eureka, Calif., at Medford,
Ashland versus Crater at Cent
ral Point and Rogue River at
Prospect.
Phoenix has. trimmed both
Crater and Illinois Valley in
the Rogue League and would
wrap up undisputed possession
of the toga with a win over Eagle
Point. The Pirates then would
have only Glendale to overcome
in their quest for District 6 A-2
southern sector laurels.
Could Be 2 In Row
The Crusaders of St. Mary's
holds triumphs over Rogue
River, Talent and Prospect and
meet their fourth and last Jack
son County B League opponent.
A win over Jacksonville would
give the Medford team its sec
ond straight conference champ
ionship. It will be homecoming
for St. Mary's defending district
victor.
B league members Prospect
and Rogue River have the only
other conference action.
Medford will attempt to halt
its' losing string to Eureka at
two straight 'and Crater, which
has come close but never quite
made it, will still be after its
first win over Ashland. Medford
lost 12 to 7. to Eureka in gooey
mud at Areata, Calif., last year

Fans Favor
Overtime
Portland (U.R)' By a four
to one margin, fans have indi
cated they prefer the overtime
playoff experiment used in the
professional football game here
last August by the Los Angeles
Rams and New York Giants,
Promoter Harry Glickman said
today.
The experiment called for a
"sudden death" overtime in
event the game ended in a tie.
As it turned out, the Rams and
Giants were tied at 17-all and
the Rams won 23-17 in the over
time. -
Glickman said, however, that
most fans objected to the meth
od of giving a team the ball
which was used here bx flip
ping a coin. Most fans, he said,
either favored giving each team
an equal amount of time or an
equal number of downs while
others suggested that the team
in possession of the ball at the
final gun either retain posses
sion or be given option of re
ceiving the ensuing kickoff.
