The Eagles, unable to mobilize a concerted offensive scoring ' drive, used the breaks for two TDs in the second quarter and one in the final period and. were tough in the clutch on defense in their 21 to 0 verdict over Pleasant Hill. Quarter-final tri umph elevated the District 6 : champions into the round-of-four against Silverton next waok end. Site of the game was being determined today by the Oregon School Activities association. Silverton spilled Val in the mud 8 to 0 en Friday night. JoifH Medford Eagle Point Joined Medford, A-l winner tv.'er Gresham Fri day, to place two Jackson county teams In state semi-final con tests. Pleasant Hill's Billies were strongest offensively during the first half but stout Eagle defense, . the Eagle interceptions and a penalty ruined scoting chances. The interceptions by Jack Greb and Norm Hooper reversed the EP backs to the wall battle in tha first half and in the second half tha horn club stopped al most eery Billte effort with tha aUt of pass Interceptions, pen alties and a fumble. Pleasant Hill was going goalwaid in the final momenta but time ran out with the ball on the EP six yard line. Misfired passes and the infrac tions Were the undoing of the Billies. ' The TD romp by Greb and Hoaper In the second stanza and Hooper in the second stanza came only three scrimmage plays apart. Pleasant Hill after recovery of an Eagle fumble .on the PH had poked to the EP 11 yard line. There an illegal use sti hands penalty put the Billies back to the 26. One play carried back to tha 17. - -Greb Goes 88 Then the Billies Ken Lock man passed wide into the flat. Greb, handicapped much by the ' 1iek field during the evening, however, ran powerfully on this straight ahead chance. He swiped the ball on the 12-yard line and blazed 88-yards down trio sideline, with some fine blocking, to score. The Eagles kicked off and in two plays moved Pleasant Hill only five yard. Lockman tossed a short flat pass. The Eagics' Hooper snagged on the EP 33 and rambled to the goal line. Jim Duncan swept end after both tie touchdowns for extra points. Holding the Billies to a net of only 41 yards from scrim--tnaga during the second half, taale Point mounted an offense of ita own in the fourth quarter which carried from its 33 to the 47, Monte Axtel! was called to punt on fourth down but a rough ing the kicker infraction was called and the Eagles got the ball on Billy 38. They moved to the 27 for a first down but put - back to the 32 on offside and " loat the ball on the 33. - ' On the following .PH play. Hooper Intercepted a pass by Ken Ward. That gave the Eagles the ball on the Billy 33 again. Eagle Point bogged down on the 26 and lost the pigskin but re gained it at the spot on a Jim Bunker recovery of a Billy ; fumble. However the Eagles 5 were act back to the 49 on pen alties. They got back to the 45 and Axtell punted and Pleasant Hill got th mil on its 18.

Dick Spray scored one fourth quarter Wildcat TD on a two yard plunge after a personal foul penalty had put the ball on the one and the Raiders had thrdwn Linfield back a yard. Bob Flood got the other on a 30-yard end run after Larry Schweinfurt's punt for SOC had gone only four years to the 30. Gary Wells added the two placements. Linfield drew first blood in the tussle when Ron Parrish ran back a short punt by Schweinfurt 36 yards to the goal for 6 to 0. Southern Oregon fought back with a 62-yard touchdown drive. It took seven plays with the big gainer a 36 yard Lance Locke to Norm Oliva pass. Larry Maurer went the last six yards to the end zone and John . Garrett booted the bonus. Raiders Tie Gams The 'Cats went on top again on a drive from midfield with Parrish going the last yard. A 15-yard personal foul penalty hurt the Red Raiders in this case, too. Wells kicked the extra. The Raiders tied up the game in the third after Garrett re covered a Linfield fumble on the Wildcat 12. Locke passed to Schweinfurt for the last 11 yards. Southern Oregon held its own for three quarters despite the fai-t that three regulars. Bill Sey mour. Chuck Romine and Chuck Crandall did not play and an other regular. Norm Hedgepeth did not start. Seymour and Crandall were on the injured list and Romine did not make the trip for other reasons. Locke, subbing for Seymour at quarterback completed six out of 13 pass tries for 136 yards.

While the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions scored relatively easy victories Sunday to remain tied for the Western division lead, the Redskins entertained the New York Giants and am bushed .the Eastern pacesetters, 33-7. In their last four starts, the Redskins (4-3) have upset the Cleveland Browns and three first - place teams the Lions, Chicago Cardinals and Giants. New York kept its one-game lead because the crippled Pitts burg Steelers defeated the second-place Cardinals, 14-7. But the Redskins, now only 1V4 games behind the Giants, have another game with New York (6-2) and have five more games in all while the division leaders have only four. The Cardinals have a 5-3 mark. Bears Cop Seventh The Bears, who visit the Giants next Sunday, made it seven in a row by defeating the Los Angeles Rams, 30-21. De troit, Washington's victim last week bounced back to crush the Baltimore Colts, 27-3. The Bears and Lions (both 7-1) lead the runnerup Colts (3-4) by 32 games. Defense Helps Tommy O'Connell, the third quarterback to handle Cleveland this season, teamed with rookie halfback Preston Carpenter and a good defense to lead the Browns to a 16-0 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Billies Lead in Scrimmage On the basis of first half play Pleasant Hill, had the edge in overall net scrimmage yardage but in total net yardage which included pass interception runs, punt returns and kick-off run backs Eagle Point had a bulging margin 285 to 163. Eagle Point got eight first downs and Pleas ant Hill eight. Quarterback Ken Ward, publi cized as the big gun of the Billy offense, was handicapped by a shoulder separation injury but played even more than Billy fans thought he should. His hard running in spot action showed his value to the club and he al most broke away for a score in the dying moments, traveling 22 yards to the EP six before being halted. He shook free on one 33-yard first half run which was nullified by a penalty. However, Jack Deveraux and Charles Brummel were the main cogs Saturday of the Billy offensive. Despite the wet field both clubs made much use of passes in the second half. Cisco Forty-Niners a 17-6 tri umph over the Green Bay Pack ers in the other game. Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia (all 3-5) share the Eastern cellar while Los Ange les, San Francisco and Green Bay (all 2-6) are last in the West. Halfback Billy Wells and quarterback Al Dorow, two for mer Michigan State stars, plus a stout defense played leading roles in New York's worst de feat since it took a 62-14 wal loping from Cleveland in 1953. Wells scored twice and Dorow threw touchdown passes to John Carson and Steve Meilinger. The Redskins scored only five touchdowns in their previous three triumphs but uncorked their best scoring spree of the season against a New York team that had allowed its last five op ponents to average only nine points.

Bowls Move Fast Toward Selection of Opponents By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The Rose Bowl, grand-daddy of the New Year's Day football carnivals, was the first to pre sent a completed line-up today with Iowa vs. Oregon State in a history-making rematch, but the other major bowls were mov ing fast toward the same goal. The official conference votes to name the Rose teams were reduced to mere formalities on Saturday when Iowa upset Ohio State, 6-0, to put a lock on the Big Ten berth and Oregon State wrapped up the Pacific Coast berth by squeaking to a 14-10 triumph over Idaho. This will mark the first time in the 43-year history of the Rose extravaganza at Pasadena, Calif., that two teams meet in the classic who also clashed dur ing the regular season. Iowa won that one, 14-13, at Iowa City but Oregon State star back Joe Francis insisted today, "we had 'em but let 'em get away." Here's how the lineup on the other major bowls now appears: Sugar Bowl Tennessee cer tain of a berth after crushing Mississippi, 27-7, but bowl com mittee must wait until confer ence season ends before issuing formal bid. In line for the other: Georgia Tech, SMU, or Baylor. Orange Bowl Colorado now certain to represent Big Seven since Missouri was drubbed by Oklahoma, 67-14. Clemson still likely for other berth but pres tige was weakened by 21-0 loss to Miami Friday and Duke could be voted the Atlantic Coast loop's "most representative" team. Cotton Bowl Texas Christ ian leading for host berth after Northwest Nabbed by By UNITED PRESS Only two league games were on the weekend schedule in the Northwest conference but the re sults of both of them played havoc with the final standings in the loop. Linfield stepped outside the league in the third small college game scheduled and found while it marked time in the no-counter, it had backed right into the title thanks to a couple of under dogs. Highlight of the weekend's ac tion was Pacific's 18-6 shocker of Lewis and Clark. The Pio neers, needing a win to wrap up the title, were the victims of Dr. Paul Stagg's line and backfield shifts that kept Pacific in com Now Studebaker brings America 4 . new ' yardstick of car value . . .

Reminiscent The win for Pacific was remi niscent of a year ago when the Badgers dropped the Pioneers 7-6 to force Lewis and Clark to share the conference crown. This year's Pacific win threw L-C clear out of the title picture. Whitman, which would have shared the league flag with Lin field had it posted a Saturday win, was a 26-0 victim of College of Idaho. Linfield came up with a 27-13 win over Southern Oregon.
