Mix in 6 A-1 Opener
Grants Pass high with a much
respected passing attack and
greater all-around depth will

the opening conflict of the 1957
District 6 A-1 campaign. The
Cavemen, co-favorites with de
fending champion, Medford,
take on Crater at Grants Pass.
Game time will be 8 p.m.
The home club also will car

Foot Injury
Puts Darland
On Sideline
Ashland Jerry Darland, end
from Medford, became another
member of coach Al Akins side
line crew last night when he
pulled all of the ligaments in his
lift foot in scrimmage and will
be lost to the Southern Oregon
football Red Raiders for at least
kur weeks of the season.
The SOC gridders already
re shorthanded from a rash of
knee injuries which as sidelined
end Norm Oliva, guard Jim Tac
chini, and tackles Herb Colley
and Troy Bellah.
The Red Raiders gave ten
yards to the weather last night
as they began to put the polish
ing touches on their hard hitting
attack in preparation to meeting
the Linfield Wildcats on Fuller
field here Saturday night. SOC
gridders used the new Southern
Oregon gymnasium to run
through defenses, and offensive
patterns.
The Wildcats from McMinn
ville stack up as one of the
toughest squads the Red Raiders
will meet this season. Led by
quarterback Ron Parrish, little
Ail-American tackle Vic Fox and
halfback Dwight Umbarger, the
wildcats opened their conference
play last week end as they ran
over Lewis and Clark 33 to 6.
The Red Raiders will be out
to avenge last years 27 to 13 loss
to the Wildcats when they take
the field at 8 p.m. There may be
some changes in the starting
lineup from the SOC eleven that
began the first two games for the
Raiders.
Delmar Brood, the Phoenix
flash, may have earned a start
ing berth for himself by his per
formance against the University
of British Columbia last Satur
day when he racked up a neat
nine yards per carry and one TD
against the Tunderbirds. George
Stavros, reserve quarterback for
the Raiders also made a bid for
starting honors in the UBC
scrimmage gaining 117 yards in
the second half and completing
8 out of 20 passes, three of them
for TDs.
GAMES POSTPONED
Grade school football games
billed for today have been post
poned until Monday because of
current inclement weather and
wet fields. The. tussles are Oak
Grove versus Jefferson and Lin
coln ' versus Washington at the
high school and Roosevelt at
Jackson.
Pirates Hosts
In Rogue League Scuffle
Phoenix One of the Rogue
league's top rivalries is billed
here Friday night when the Pi
rates of Phoenix high entertain
Eagle Point in District 6 A-2
southern division football.
Each is the top A-2 adversary
of the other.
Phoenix has been girding its
reserves and Eagle Point has
sought general offensive polish
in workouts this week. Coach
Jack Woodward of the Pirates
said the Phoenix aim was to
create more depth in order that
players may be altered more.
The Pirate tutor said that his
club has added a few new plays
and has worked at better offen
sive timing. He added, however,
that' work continues with de
fense. The defensive crew held
up well in the first two games
of the season and is being count
ed upon much this time.
Phoenix attitude is that Eagle
Point can be expected to make
a stiff fight and has a good, well
balanced squad. The Pirates are
considering EP a tougher club
than the Phoenix three-touchdown
win over Henley and the
Eagle tie with the same crew
would indicate.
balance out fairly even. Grants
Pass looks to have a heft edge,
although not extreme, in the
line.
Crater defensive drill this
week has been centered much
on ways to halt the passing
combine of Coach Mel Ingram's
Cavemen. Comet Mentor Leon
ard Warren said, nevertheless,
that his club was not overlook
ing the GP ability to run up
the middle and he pointed out
that Smith is a good runner as
well as a passer.
All Comets were in good shape
last night with the exception of
Gary Legler, all purpose reserve
back. He hurt his finger yester
day in a motorcycle mishap.
Burns Doing Well
Likely Crater starters are
Paul Beach and Jerry Kime,
ends; Doug Davis and Dave
Brown, tackles; George Hunt
and Mike Martin or Glenn Cote,
guards Randy Campbell, center;
Wayne Allen, quarterback; Bob
Fowler, left half; Kerman Ben
nett or Lee Gossett, fullback,
and Allen Barnes, right half.
Looking good in practice and
in a jayvee game this week has
been John Burns, who has been
alternating at right half with
the first string group.
Possible starters for Grants
Pass on offense are Sparlin and
Paul Lindquist, ends; Paul Sla
ven and Jerry Putnam, tackles;
Wendell Winterbottom, and Ben
ny Dean, brother ' of Jack,
guards; Dick Caldwell, center;
Smith, quarterback; Dean, left
half; Don Lewellyn, right half,
and Rose, fullback.
Dick Baird, Ollie Woolsey and
Ron Atterberry are guard al
ternates and Merrill Nay and
Dewain Gurule see duty at the
tackles. Gurule is the club's
placekicker. Bill Dolodge is a
defensive end and Richie Con
dray a linebacker.
Jacksonville
Aims To End
Loss Habit
.Jacksonville Coach Bill
Seymour took steps this week
with Jacksonville footballers to
"break this bad habit of losing."
The Redskins aim to get back
on the win trail when they op
pose Chiloquin at 2:30 p.m. here
Friday.
Seymour sounded a warning
to his squad that things would
be different and the heavy work
out this afternoon instead of
the usual light one on Thursday
was indication that the mentor
meant business. Another move
he made was to select John Win
ningham and Dave Rasmussen,
backs, and Al Chaboude, tackle,
co-captains for the Chiloquin
mix. The selection was in re"
ward for playing the best games
against Merrill.
The three have supervised
some of the practice activity
this week.
A change in the Jacksonville
line-up puts Clint Whitney at
right guard. He replaces Gary
Smith who has dropped from the
squad. Seymour also announced
the loss of Frank Plant, line
backer and guard because of a
wrist injury and illness. The
Redskins are still trying to de
velop an offense that will pro
vide a scoring punch.
CARR STARTER
Seattle, Wash. (IT) Coach
Jim Owens of the University of
Washington is hoping for dry
weather Saturday so his re
grouped Huskies will not be
handicapped in their game with
Ohio State. Luther (Hit and Run)
Carr was moved into the start
ing left halfback spot Tuesday
and apparently filled it well.
Owens made no changes in his
starting lineup Wednesday.
Wyoming has about 20,000
square miles of coal deposits.
To Eagles
Probable starting offensive
team for Phoenix is Bill Dillree
and Don Korth, ends; Stan
Zwan and Jack Rinn, tackles;
Jim Waldron and Jack Ho'ff
buhr, guards; Ron Daugherty,
center; Dennis James or Jim
Heath, quarterback; Gary Sim
monds, left half; Fred Faytinger,
right half; Don Wallace, full
back. Earl Dillree, Marvin
Frazier and Larry Kidwell may
be in the line on the defensive
club and Jim Stout, regular
right half on defense may see a
lot of offensive play at tailback.
Eagle Point end Wayne Chris
tian suffered a knee injury in
the Henley mix and may see
only limited service, Coach Tom
Van Etten, reported. Another
hobbling player, with an ankle
ailment, he said, has been Dale
Casey, a guard.
Those who may open for the
Eagles are Christian and Bill
Hubbard, ends; Jim -Bunker and
Bob Greb, tackles; Mack Lem-
mon, and Casey or Cliff Blaine,
guards; Steve Charters, center;
Doug Chamberlain, quarter;
David Huffman, left half; Gary
Mendenhall, quarter, and Gary
Kaiser, right half.

Left Flank
Of Ducks Hit
By Ailments
Eugene (IP) Flu struck
the University of Oregon foot
ball team today as it neared
completion of preparation for
its game with UCLA in Portland
Saturday night.
Four tackles and Dave Grosz,
sophomore quarterback, all re
ported attacks of the flu Wed
nesday. The tackles affected
were Jerry Kershner, Gerald
Aschbacher, John Willener and
Milt Blevins. Their status for
Saturday right is doubtful.
Larry Newsom, sophomore
left guard from Salem, has a
knee injury and is probably out
of the game along with Alden
Kimbrough, who also has knee
troubles.
J. C. Wheeler, starting left
end, was released from the in
firmary Wednesday but he, too,
was on the doubtful list for Sat
urday. University of Oregon, Eugene
Oregon's fortunes against the
surprising Bruins of UCLA this
Saturday at Portland may rest
with the speedy recovery of a
pair of ends who didn't see prac
tice early this week.
J. C. Wheeler and Alden Kim
brough, numbers o ie and two on
the left side of the line have
been bedded down wih an assort
ment of ills, and it appears
doubtful that Kimbrough "will
see any action at all against Red
Sander's unbeaten Bruins.
Kimbrough, a sophomore per
former from San Diego
wrenched a 'knee against Pitts
burgh last Saturday, after giving
a sparkling exhibition of defen
sive and offensive work against
the rugged Panthers who edged
the Ducks 6-3. Head Coach Len
Casanova confirmed the report
Monday that Kimbrough is on
the doubtful list for playing time
at Multnomah stadium, Oct. 5.
Wheeler, the starting left end
and another fine defensive Duck,
succumbed to an attack of the
flu Sunday, and was sent to the
infirmary for rest. His action
Saturday night will depend on
a quick recovery.
The Ducks Host UCLA in
their second PCC contest, and
the duel should be as thrilling
as the Pitt contest. Coach Jerry
Frei who scouted the Bruins
against Illinois, noted that they
"are as good a ball club as they
always have been, except they
have no outstanding backs."
Leading the Bruin attack this
fall will be a sensational punter,
Kirk Wilson, the defending
NCAA kicking leader with a
49.3 average in '56, and junior
end Dick Wallen, who caught 23
passes in 1956 for two touch
downs and 308 yards.
Coach Sanders also returns the
Bruin's leading rusher of last
fall, Barry Billington, who aver
aged 3.7 yards per carry in 106
tries. He gained 415 yards from
his fullback slot.
The Webfoots can match the
Bruin running attack with Jim
Shanley, who has lived up to
early season expectations with a
pair of fine performances against
Idaho and Pittsburgh. The run
ning of Shanley plus some more
fine passing by quarterback Jack
Crabtree will give the Ducks a
one-two punch against the color
ful Bruins.

By MEL
Probably no hunting season in
history has opened with such
confusion as the present deer
season. To the thousands of hunt
ers who normally head into the
woods from a few days to a
week ahead of the season in
order to make a permanent camp
and enjoy the thrill of camping
out in autumn, it was a terrible
disappointment.
It was no less confusing to
the mill workers and employers,
many of whom close down for
the first week of the season.
I don't think that anyone was
disturbed by the original post
ponement, for any thinking per
son knew that with the woods
as dry as tinder it would be
foolish to risk another major
fire by letting thousands of
campers into the forests. The dis
turbing thing was the "off again
on again Finnegan" type of re
ports issuing from the governor.
It is highly doubtful if even
the game wardens knew which
days the grouse and mountain
quail seasons were open due to
the repeated openings and clos
ues. It is this type of thing that
is confusing and most sportsmen
hope that in the future some
more sensible way can be de
vised to prevent this mixup.
NICE STEELHEAD
With the hunting season in
full bloom, interest in fishing
is at low ebb' but there are
some nice steelhead being
taken in the Galice area. A
couple of local men combined
hunting and fishing the other
day and went home with two
bucks and two steelhead.
River" guides say that there
are a plenty of fish in the
river and as soon as this pres
ent murkiness clears the fish
ing should be good; Now that
the water has been released
from Savage Rapids dam this
situation should improve rap
idly. Hotshot lures and the
weighted spinner Moto have
been the best producers so
far with single eggs paying
off for some shore fishermen.

REES
agree that the big northern
flights have not moved in as yet.
On the Upper lake there are
quite a few honkers but are
scarce enough to make them a
prize bird.
Every duck hunter knows that
for the past fe years the hunt
ing hasn't been up to par. Some
frame it on the extensive grain
planting in the refuge area
which makes it unnecessary for
the birds to leave as they have
plenty of water and feed there.
Others say that the main flights
are missing this flyway entirely.
Some say that the birds are
going by to the West and others
to the East, but all agree that
whichever side they are miss
ing us. v
It is possible that this is true
for a couple of years ago the
commercial fishermen reported
that enormous flights of birds
were flying over the ocean about
15 to 30 miles from shore.
Whether these were our main
flight or not is anybody's guess.
It is true that in areas which
enjoyed excellent hunting each
year have been very poor for
at least three or four years.
Whatever the answer most
water fowlers hope that this year
will be the year and that the
birds will find the "slot" again
and come pouring through.
Flu Cancels
Talent Game
Talent Talent high's football
game at Merrill scheduled for

Dick Thorpe, coach at Talent,
said that the game will be made
up only if it has bearing on the
District 5B race or if neither
school is in play-offs at the end
of the regular season.
A report from Merrill said
that about two-thirds of the stu

Wood Picks
Bruins To
Ruin Ducks
By HAL WOOD
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco (IP) You can't
win 'em all and there's proof
of that in this pigskin picking
department.
- As a matter of fact, last week
we were barely able to break
even. Such stupid choices as Cal
ifornia over Washington State,
Denver over San Jose State, Ida
ho over Arizona Tempe State,
and Illinois over UCLA obvious
ly were the work of a person
with a sub-normal I.Q.
This week, with the help of
one of those electronic brains we
come up with some atom crack
ers: Michigan State over Cali
fornia: Well, now, nothing sur
prising about this pick. In fact,
I could have done it. By 27.
Stanford over Rice: Did some
body mention the Indians were
going to make pudding out of
Rice. And Chuck Taylor tests his
aerial defense. By six.
Peculiar Talent
UCLA over Oregon: The sen
iorless Bruins ruin the Webfoots,
who have a peculiar talent for
getting the bad breaks. By one.
Southern California over Pitt:
The electronic brain comes up
with an upset special. The Tro
jans haven't won a game yet and
Pitt is tough; But this could be
it. By seven.
Ohio State over Washington:
The Buckeyes were beaten by
Texas Christian in their opener,
but not as badly as the Huskies
by Minnesota. By six.
Oregon State over Northwest
ern: Coach Tommy Prothro prob
ably has the best football team
on the West Coast again which
may not be saying too much.
However, the Wildcats could be
just barely better than weak In
diana this year. By 13.
Iowa over Washington State:
Cougars whipped California and
Nebraska, but they are running
into the Big Ten champions. The
Hawkeyes are a bird of another
color. By 10.
Idaho Choice
Idaho over Utah: Vandals have
fairly solid small-time team, but
have been beaten in first two
outings. This may be the week.
By one.
Arizona (Tempe) State over
San Jose State: A Saturday night
tilt that could be a hum-dinger.
Sun Devils by six.
College of Pacific over Tulsa:
Another Saturday night game.
Tigers unbeaten, Tulsa losers of
two straight. But the visitors are
supposed to be fully recovered
from the flu. By 19.
Also: Humboldt State over
San Francisco State, Pepperdine
over Los Angeles State, Chico
State over Nevada, Cal Aggies
over Long Beach State, San Di
ego State over Cal Poly, Red
lands over Laverne, Occidental
over Santa Barbara State.

so far as league or state title
laurels are concerned. But it is
mighty important in the matter
of prestige and will find the Tor
nado attempting ' to put a stop
to long domination by the Buc
caneers on Oregon gridirons.
Marshfield will carry into the
action the exalted spot of No. 1
in state coaches and sportswrit
ers and sportscasters polls. Med
ford on the other hand has been
given a 10th ranking by the
mentors while newsmen and
broadcasters rate it fifth among
the state's preps.
Both aggregations, playing in
the shadows of great teams of
1956, are out to make names in
their own right.
Tactics Change
Marshfield will present some
what of a change in offensive
tactics to fans who go from here
to make the trip. Last season the
Pirates depended much on the
breakaway abilities of Roger
Johnson and Jack Shanley. With
them gone, the Marshfield gang
of Coach Pete Susick has based
its hopes on the power punching
of 204-pound fullback Hardy
Spurgeon and halfback Wally
Hunter, a hard runner at 167
pounds. But the Pirates also
have a breakaway threat in Gary
Kvalheim.
Like Medford, passing with
the Pirates is more a weapon of
surprise.

will be in uniform but may not
play. It's still a toss up between
Dick Sorenson and Gary Wine
