the Axemen establish their com

Eugene then built its gap to
26 to 7. Tornado hopes rose for
a brief while in the second

driving term like that which
took the TWnado to the state

Top Colts in
Finale 35-24
San Francisco (U.R) The
San Francisco Forty Niners clos
ed out a dismal National football
league season on a happy note
yesterday by thumping the Bal

big way for the home club with
quarterback Y. A. Tittle pass

than broke loose for three
touchdowns in the second to
take a 28-3 halftime advantage.
Tittle set up the first touch
down with a 35-yard run, his
longest of the season, to the
three yard line from where Dick
Moegle plunged over.
Gary Kerkorian kept the Colts
in business with a 30-yard field
goal.
Then in a span of five minutes
during a wild second period,
San Francisco shot far in front
on touchdowns by Bill Wilson,
Joe Arenas and McElhenny.
San Franciscq notched its fi
