With third down and two yards to go on the Oklahoma seven yard line in the third pe riod, Ward said, the crowd set up a deafening din, reinforced by the thunder of a bass drum in the Oklahoma band. "Quarterback Ralph Herbst signaled to the crowd with his arms for silence," Ward told the Buffalo Roundup club, '"but the partisan crowd yelled even louder. Herbst had noticed a big hole in Oklahoma's line and called a check signal to change plays. He calls 'up two.' The center thought he had called 'hike' and lifted the ball. "Herbst wasn't ready," Ward said, "and we were called for illegal procedure. That cost us a touchdown." When Oklahoma had trouble hearing signals, Ward said, the referee called time out. And the public address announcer asked the crowd to be quiet, and there "was quiet." "Never in my life and I've seen more than 400 football games have I witnessed such a spectacle as I saw at Norman," he said. Hoop Heads End Meeting TterkeTev. Calif.

Medford will aim for a verdict over Ashland on Friday to keep its record clean in District 6 A-l. Malin and Merrill vie in a con flict which could resolve the District 5B title. Other 6 A-l games will have Klamaths Falls playing Crater at Central Point. Both teams are fighting to rise from the cellar. Grants Pass steps outside of A-l and Southern Oregon conference play as host to Tillamook. Malin likely will be declared 5B winner if it upends Merrill while a Merrill win could force a play-off. The Mustangs of Ma line have five wins and Merrill four and no actual losses. Flu or colds resulted in postpone ment of one Malin game and two Merrill tilts. If the district committee decides, as expected, to consider the postponing team the loser, Malin's record stands at 6-0 and Merrill's at 5-1. Other Conflicts Other B games this week will be Bonanza at Talent on Friday and Chiloquin versus St. Mary's at Medford and Jacksonville versus Sacred Heart at Klamath Falls both on Saturday night. In District 6A2 southern-division on Friday Phoenix will meet Illinois Valley at Cave Junction, Glendale will contend at Brookings and Rogue River will be at Eagle Point. In a non district scrap Henley will be host to Tulelake, Calif. If Phoenix downs IV and Glendale should fall to Brook ings the two Pirate teams will be Rogue league co-champions but Glendale doubtless will receive the district play-off bid because of its win last week end over Phoenix.
