St. Francis 0 HS Football Fans Hear Same Tune By UNITED PRESS The record is getting scratchy, but the same old tune has to be played again. Every Friday night the cream of Oregon s high school football teams tangle in their quest for the state title. And every Saturday morning there they are, the same two teams Marshf ield and Med ford at the top of the heap. Both powers did it again last night. Marshfield, the No. 1 ranked team in the coaches' poll, rolled up 19 points in the first quarter and coasted to a 32-19 victory over Prineville in a non- league contest." Medford, No. 2, routed a hap less Ashland eleven, 47-0. Gresham, No. 3, and Beaver ton, No. 6, retained their un beaten status in Metropolitan League play, the Gophers edging Astoria, No. 5 this week, 6-0, and the Beavers downing Parkrose, 20-6. McMinnville, No. 4. continued its winning ways, also, with a comfortable 24-6 victory over Oregon City. Albany Tied Eighth-ranked Albany had its hands full with North Salem and the Bulldogs were barely able to pull out with a 13-13 tie. Grants Pass, No. 10, had an easy time in clobbering Klam ath Falls, 29-7. . The inevitable clash of the undefeateds in the Portland In- terscholastic League came last night and Benson emerged in sole possession of first place by vir tue of its resounding 33-7 win over previously unbeaten Lin coin. The victory gave the Tech- men at least a tie for the league crown. Eugene, No. 7, meets North Bend tonight. In other major contests last night, Hillsboro blanked Central Catholic, 27-0; West Linn downed Newberg, 33-6; Pendle ton swamped B ak e r, 48-0; Springfield edged Roseburg, 6-0; and The Dalles defeated Mac-Hi of Milton-Freewater, 27-0. In six-man football, Alsea continued to be the scourge of the state bv walloping Eddyville, 58-13. Hunt Safety Booklet Being Distributed Here '"Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger" is the ur gent reminder to hunters in a booklet which will be available this week in most sporting goods stores in southern Oregon. Thomas C. Anderson, O. D., chairman of the Southern Ore gon Optometric society, an nounced that the booklet is being distributed in the hope of alert ing hunters to greater caution in the field. The booklet points out that the annual toll of an estimated 500 hunters killed and 3,000 in jured could be reduced if sports men would hunt within their visual bounds. It suggests a two point program of action for the individual hunter. They are as follows: Know your visual capac ity and hunt within your visual bounds. Dr. Anderson stated that sportsmen's groups interested in securing additional copies of the booklet could contact any optom etrist or the society representa tive at 11 Almond Street, Med ford.
