by th battering drives of full
back Ted Kroner and the shifty
and sweeping sprints of- half
backs Clyde Kuenzi and Jack
Nusbaunv the Silver Foxes of
Silvgrton High school punched
into the end zone once each in
the second and fourth periods
here Saturday night to overcome
Egle Point and barge into the
finals of the Oregon Class A-2
football eliminations.
The 14 to 0 victory over the
Eagles of southern Oregon, who
failed to make the most of three
big touchdown opportunities,
sends the Foxes against Reeds
port's Braves this week end in
the finale for the' state's small
A school diadem. Reedsport
romped over Central Union's
Panthers at North 'Bend on
Saturday in the other A-2 semi
final. Silverton mustered marches
of 44 yards in the second quarter
and 90 in the fourth for its TDs
gand withstood bids that carried
to its-two, 11 and nine yard
lines to blank Eagle Point.
EP Tops Yardage
Victory came for the Foxes
despite statistical dominance by
the Eagles. The District 6 titlist
ran up 304 yards in total net
gains, which included punt and
kick-off returns as well as scrim
mage yardage. The Willamette
valley gang netted 252. Eagle
Point had the first down edge
also 13 to 11.
It was the 11th win against
no losses for the Foxes this sea
son af.d the 18th triumph in a
row over two seasons. Eagle
Point saw its victory string end
after 10 straight. The Eagles
wound up with a 10-win two
loss record for 1956.
It took the Foxes seven plays
to go the 44 on its first success
ful drive. Kroner packed the ball
six times and Nusbaum just once
with Kroner going the last six
yards for the score. The 178
pound fullback's 16 yard pack
over tackle was the longest gain
of the drive. Kuenzi booted the
extra point.
The Capital league title club
began its second promenade
after weathering the Eagles' last
serious effort. Silverton moving
with gusto for a clincher TD,
covered the 90 yards in eight
plays with Nusbaum'reeling off
39 after breaking through the
nfiddle and with Kuenzi romp
ing for 13 yards. The pay-off was
a seven-yard smash over left
guard by Kroner and Kuenzi
again toed the bonus.
Fast Start
Eagle Point appeared a sure
fire winner right after the open
ing kick-off. With fullback Norm
Hooper and halfback Jack Greb
doing the bulk of the lugging,
theagles moved from their own
32 down to the Fox two-yard
line. The EP eleven plugged
along mostly on short gains of
seven yards or less after half
back Jim Duncan had returned
th kick-off 17 yards. However,
Greb raced 20 of the yards
around left end on a pitchout
on the 14-play sally. There was
one pass of six yards, Greb to
end Wayne Christian and the
Eagles piled up four first downs.
The two-yard line was reached
with third down and goal to go.
Although tries between the mid
dle and right tackle had been
3gid at getting the short chunks.
two end runs next were called.
Greb was held far no gain on a
move t thejight. He was spilled
g back on the three on a sweep
to the right and Silverton took
possession of the ball.
Second big threat by the
Eagles atfco started from their
own 32. The third quarter push
to the 11 fizzled when Greb's
fumble was recovered by Silver-
ton center Bruce Meland. Long
?ain of the scoring attempt, and
one of the long runs of the night,
was Christian's end around gal
lop for 35 yards to the Fox 27.
GoTo Nin
Eagle Point took the ball on
its on 49 late in the third
quarter and in seven plays, two
of them in the final canto, had
cracked out short gains to the
Fox 25. Greb then connected
with Duncan on a 16-yard pass
plai-- which got a first down on
the nine.
At this stage the Eagles
switched completely from the
ground game to the aerial of
fensive. A' quarterback Doug
Chamberlain to Christian throw
msed connection. Chamberlain
fumbled on the next play, put
tnja the ball back on the 10.
Eagle Point then lost the ball
when two pass' attempts. Greb
to Gary Kaiser and Greb to
Chris'jan,. went incomplete.
W!ile overall net yardage fav-
aored the Eagles. Silverton had

Harlon Hill, ignored by the

played for little Florence, Al.,
State Teachers college, made two
spectacular touchdown catches
Sunday that may effect the out
come of both National Football
league division races.
The Bears, highest-scoring

Giants by 17-3 in the closing
minutes when Hill again showed
the receiving skill that has led
veteran pro football men to com
pare him with the great Don

Hunter Misconduct During 1956
Seasons Not As Bad As Charged
Portland (U.R) Hunter mis
conduct during the 1956 seasons
in Oregon was not nearly as bad
as charged, State Game Director
P. W. Schneider said Saturday.
Schneider had ordered field
personnel to conduct thorough
investigations of alleged miscon
duct. And he said that so far,
reports of the investigation indi
cated that hunter misconduct
during the 19,56 seasons had on
occasion been exaggerated.
He said that in many cases,
an accumulation of trespass and
misconduct incidences which oc
curred over a period of years
were compiled, leaving the im
pression that all of them oc
curred this year.
Most Conduct Better
On a statewide basis, officials
have indicated that hunter con
duct this year was superior to
that in the past, Schneider said.
Officials in only a few areas said
that vandalism and trespass
were about on a par with pre
vious years. He added:
"In no area of the state have
we received reports of any in
crease of hunter misconduct."
The game director observed
that in regard to alleged wide
spread destruction by fire, forest
officials had been high in their
praise for the low incidence of

The Washington Redskins, who

The Baltimore Colts pulled the

"The game commission does
not wish to defend hunters or
minimize the gravity and seri
ousness of the charges," Schnei
der said. "Many authentic acts
of vandalism, trespass and mis
conduct were committed, mostly
by a small group of ignorant per
sons which casts a black eye
upon all who hunt.'.'
The game director asked all
responsible Oregon sportsmen to
aid in "putting an end to such
goings on."
