Thursday, January 2, 1958 Ohio State Buckeyes Nudge Inspire regon in TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Oucks Bowl Kose Sutherin's Thump In Fourth Quarter Provides 10-7 Nod Pasadena, Calif. 'IP Na tional Champion Ohio State, 'outplayed most of the game by an inspired Oregon team, called on sub halback Don Suthejn for a fourth period goal to eke out a 10-7 victory over the Ducks in a thrilling Rose Bowl contest that had a capacity crowd on the edge of their seats. Although the victory be longed to the Buckeyes, the honors went to Oregon quar terback Jack Crabtree, who played like a pro in leading the Ducks so close after they had been listed 21-point un derdogs in pre-game dope. Joining Crabtree in the Oregon backfield in the bril liant demonstration were half backs Jim Shanley and Char ley Tourville and fullback Jack Morris who played their Pasadena 'IP Statistics of the Rose Bowl game: Ore.

But they could not get ahead when tied and then lost th game on the Sutherin field goal from the 24 after 58 seconds of the fourth quar ter. To Oregon fans the game had its heartbreaking mo ment when Morris, also at tempting a field goal from the 24, kicked the ball wide to the left of the uprights while Sutherin's effort was good. Crabtree was voted player of the game by the Helms Athletic foundation as the final gun sounded, for his all around brilliance as he pass ed, ran and pitched out to his speedy backs and was an out standing field general. Stover Catches 10 Passes For the Buckeyes Don Clark on occasion showed his running elusiveness and full back Bob White powered through the Oregon line on entire sequences of plays. But when the going got tough in the second half, Coach Woody Hayes put in Galin Cisco who proved just as able at carrying the ball. Crabtree completed 10 out of 17 passes for 135 yards and end Ron Stover sensationally snagged 10 passes for 144 yards. But in addition to the field goal kicked and missed, the difference between the two teams might be credited to halfback Joe Cannavino who intercepted two of Crabtree's passes and recovered a key fumble on the Ohio 24, to keep Oregon from possibly continuing on to a touchdown. The Buckeyes' vaunted power was displayed for the capacity crowd of 100,000 from the opening kickoff as Ohio State drove 79 yards with quarterback Kremblas sneaking the final yard to score. The drive featured a 27-yard spurt by halfback Clark and a 37-yard pass from Kremblas to end Jim Houston which gave Ohio State a first down on the two. Oregon's effort to get a march rolling in the opening period was nullified when the Buckeyes' Cannavino inter cepted one of Crabtree's pass es on the Buckeye 28. Oregon opened up in the second period, starting on its own 20 and driving all the way in 10 plays, ending with halfback Shanley skirting left end for the final five yards. Morris Attempt Wide The "big four" of the Ducks were responsible for the drive as Shanley got to near mid field with a 22-yard run on a pitchout. Crabtree kept it go ing with a 10-yard keep play and then an 11-yard pass to Tourville and fullback Mor ris sweeping the wing for 13 yards. Spurred on by the 7-7 tie, Oregon's defensive1 strength showed itself as it stopped the Buckeyes on the 12 and drove to the Ohio State 29, only to have Crabtree fumble and center Dan Fronk recover. Coming out with the 7-7 deadlock in the second half, the Ducks dominated the third period which was cli maxed when Oregon reached the Ohio State 18, and Morris dropped back for his field goal effort from the 24. But the ball went wide and Ohio took over on the 20. With White bulling tne j middle on eight of the next 11 1 plays, the Buckeyes drove to the Oregon 17-yard line where on four down with four yards to go, Sutherin kicked his memorable field goal in the opening minutes of the final period. The Ducks drove to the Ohio State 24, reaching that point on a 23-yard Crabtree to Stover pass but Stover fumbled when hit hard and Cannavino recovered to nip that attempt. The lighter Oregon team outplayed its heavy Midwest ern foes in the defense de partment, despite the fact ihat the Ducks star lineman, Har ry Mondale, went out of the game on the fifth play when he suffered a leg injury. Sto ver paced the defense unit aided by tackles Jim Linden and Jerry Kershner. The statistics bore out the Oregon moral - victory. The final figures showed Oregon gained 351 yards, 191 passing and 160 rushing while Ohio State made 304 yards, 245 rushing and 59 passing. Ore gon made 21 first downs, Ohio 19.

Crabtree Top Player In Tussle By HAL WOOD Pasadena, Calif. ilPl The field goal, a little-used of fensive weapon in college football, ruined the Pacific Coast Conference in the Rose Bowl yesterday for the third time in nine years. When reserve Don Sutherin came off the bench early in xne iourin quarter xo kick a 24-yard goal squarely between the posts to give Ohio State a 10-7 victory over an Oregon team that wasn't supposed to be in the game at all, it brought back bitter memories for West Coast fans. In 1956 Michigan State used Dave Kaiser's last - minute field goal to whip UCLA, 17 14; and in 1949 Ohio State edged California by the same score on Jim Hague's field goal. While Ohio State coach Woody Hayes wasn't exactly exuberant over the victory, he pointed out that "the best team always wins no mat ter how well the other team plays." Quarterback Stars Hayes was right. Oregon's Jack Morris, who played a whale of a game in the Web foot's backfield, had a chance for a field goal from the exact spot the 24-yard line, and the same angle and missed just a few minutes before Sutherin came through with his game clincher. "Morris'cick was so close that I thought sure it went between the goal posts," said Hayes, "It's lucky the of ficials were calling it instead of me." Until Sutherin came in to steal some of the spotlight, the star was Jack Crabtree, Oregon's quarterback. Actu ally, he was voted the "play er of the game." The husky senior did a pro fessional -type job of direct ing the Ducks' attack. He handled beautifully coach Len Casanova's option pitch out or run plays that built up long yardage gains. He threw 17 passes and completed 10 of them for 135 yards. Several times he had the Oregon boys going to strong that they looked like . they might back the Buckeyes right out of the stadium. But the breaks were against a bunch of lads who played their hearts out and came up with a loser. Twice Crabtree had passes intercepted; and twice touchdown drives were halted when the Ducks lost the ball on fumbles to alert Buckeye defense men. Ohio State, a 20-point pre game favorite, marched 79 yards the first time it got the ball to score, with quarter back Frank Kramblas plung ing over from the one. But in the second quarter, the Ducks started tossing the ball around in the backfield like a basketball and they swept down the field, going 80 yards in 10 plays an av-: erage of eight yards per try. j The longest run in the drive was a 22-yarder by Jim Shan-t ley on a pitchout. Shanley i MedfordJTribune Aerial Interceptions, Muff Recoveries Make Difference at Pasadena By HENRY RIEGER United Press Sports Writer Pasadena, Calif. IPI "The difference between Ohio State and Oregon out there today was the two fumbles we re covered and our two pass in terceptions." Thus commented a relaxed Woody Hayes, unwinding af ter a heart constricting Ohio Slate 10 to 7 Rose Bowl vic tory over underrated, but in spired Oregon. A direct contrast to the baseball cap wearing shirt sleeved head coach who strode nervously up and down in front of the Ohio State bench, Big Woody managed a thin smile as he met with news men after the game in the Buckeyes' dressing room. Hayes wasn't happy in vic tory, although he went from boy to boy with a quiet word that they should be glad with any kind of a victory over a team like Oregon. He singled out two men as heroes, Don Sutherin who booted a perfect 24-yard field goal early in the fourth per iod to provide the margin of victory ,and Joe Cannavino. It was Cannavino who picked off the two intercep tions and grabbed the key fumble recovery on the OSU 24-yard line midway in the final quarter to saw off a de termined Oregon drive. Next to Hayes, Sutherin drew the dressing room crowd. Full of Confidence "I felt as soon as I got on the field that the kick would be good," he said with a wide grin playjng his face. "I've kicked longer ones and this wasn't too tough. I booted against Michigan for 43 yards." Hayes had a special word of praise for the senior half back noting that Sutherin had been out of action for a month with an injured back. "He didn't start practicing again until four days ago." said Woody. Asked about the missed Oregon field goal from the same spot and angle, quipped Hayes in an swer: "Thank gosh I wasn't the official. I thought' it was Tornadoes Oppose KF Pels on Friday Don Bowling, letterman who missed Medford's high's pre-conference basketball contention because of a foot fracture, may see service this week jfind when the Black Tornado opens its Southern Oregon loop campaign , at Klamath Falls. The two clubs scrap on Fri day and Saturday nights. Coach Frank Roelandt said that Bowling's foot is coming along a lot better. Just how much duty the senior hoop man may be able to see is not known but the tutor indicated that he may run Bowling into the action to test what he can do. Jerry Anderson, sophomore, who started three of Med ford's four games to date, should be ready for the Peli cans also, according to Roe landt. Anderson, hobbled by an inflamed foot tendon, play ed against Astoria on Friday but was kept out of the Satur day engagement. The Tornado worked out Monday and Tuesday but had yesterday off. A heavier than usual Thursday practice was planned for today. Giant-Killer Task In opposing the Pels, Med ford is faced with a giant killer task. The Tornado can't come close to matching Klam ath Falls height. The White birds, with one of the top ranked clubs in Oregon, have all-stater Glenn Moore, 6-8, Bob Niles, 6-6, Dave Robinson, 6-5, and Bob Peterson, 6-3. A shorty may have the fifth position, either Don DeLap, 5-11, or Smiley Herrera, 5-5, Comparative scores, how ever, snow mat Meaiora nas a chance. Scorewise the Pels were only five and six points better in beating Marshfield and North Bend, both of whom nosed out the Tornado. Klamath topped Marshfield scored the touchdown from the five. Every time the Webfoots got the ball after that they rattled down the field for 40 or 50 yards, but they couldn't sustain the drive long enough i to score again. good." The officials ruled that Ore gon's Jack Morris missed by three feet to the right of the uprights. Over in the Webfoots cor ner, Coach Len Casanova took time to thank the Southern California sports scribes. Thanks, Fellas "You sports writers around Los Angeles did it for me," he said with a wry smile. "We didn't come to be humiliated and all those stories we'd be drubbed by three touchdowns or so did it for us." He said he was "prouder of this team than any I've ever coached." "Everybody said we'd be humiliated," said the greying Oregon mentor, "but we went out there and put on one whale of a battle. "It was a real example of guts." Casanova said he thought Oregon should have scored again and won, but "we just didn't seem to have the final luck." Cas said the loss of first string guard Harry Mondale from a leg injury on the fifth play of the game hurt the Webfoot cause considerably. Asked to smile for photog raphers, he said he "never smiled when he lost," but then did manage something resem bling a weak smile when he was handed a piece of the Ohio State goal post. "We thought you deserved it," said a well wisher. Someone asked Casanova if he thought Oregon could have won it. "I thought we'd score again," he said. The Webfoot squad gath ered rather proudly around the coach but there were few comments, only the sadly dis appointed faces. Senior fullback Jack Mor ris was near tears. He, too, said he thought the Oregon squad could have scored again, but "we just didn't seem to have the final luck." Casanova said he wasn't sure whether it was Oregon's best game of the year and wouldn't know until he sees the game motion pictures. "Maybe we played better against UCLA in a 21-0 vic tory earlier this year." 50 to 46 and North Bend 48 to 46 while Medford was nip ped 51 to 50 by the Coos Bay club and 68 to 64 by North Bend. The Pels were without the services of Moore in the last quarter at NB. He suffered a sprained ankle and missed the last Friday fray with Tigard. Moore played on Saturday night and is reported back in top shape for the Medford series. A squad of 10 junior var sity players will accompany the Tornado varsity to Klam ath for preliminary play. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE By United Press The Boston Bruins are the best "friends" the' Montreal Canadiens have in the Nation al Hockey League this season but the two clubs opened 1958 with a penalty-studded brawl. The league-leading Canadi ens haven't lost to the Bruins in seven meetings this season. They added another triumph Wednesday night at Boston, 4-3, on Claude Provost's sec ond goal of the game. Referee Frank Udvari and his assistants handed out six five-minute major penalties and a 10-minute misconduct in addition to 20 two-minute minors. The other game Wednesday night was a relatively quiet nine minor penalties game in which the Black Hawks tri umphed over the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3, at Chicago. AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press New Year's Day victories by the Buffalo Bisons and Providence Reds left the Am erican Hockey league race tightened up considerably to day. The Bisons edged Rochester, 2-1, to move past the Ameri cans into fourth place, while the Reds downed Cleveland, 4-2, to move within two points of the second-place Barons. The last-place Springfield In dians defeated the league-lead- ing Hershey Bears, 3-1, in other action. Football WEDNESDAY BOWL RESLXIS By United Press Rose Ohio Stat 10.

Carl Schaffeld, of Vale, who filled in for Mondale despite a recent ankle injury, drew praise from Coach Len Casanova. "He was hurt a few days ago and we had planned to use him on de fense only," he said. Grizzlies To Battle Comet Five Central Point Both the Ashland high Grizzlies and the Crater Comets have been hard at drill through the holi days preparing for their Southern Oregon conference opener series. They have games at Central Point on Friday and at Ashland on Sat urday.

Rose Bowl Steals Holiday Spotlight on Gridiron Turf The form chart stood up pretty well in the bowl game drama on New Year's Day but the name of Don Sutherin went into the books today as the man who prevented what could have been the biggest upset in the history of the Rose Bowl. Sutherin, just back from a month's idleness with a back injury, booted a "not so tough" field goal from the 24-yard line in the fourth pe riod to give Ohio State a 10 7 victory over Oregon. The close call suffered by the national champion Buck eyes stole the holiday spot lights from Navy's 20-7 tri umph over Rice in the Cotton Bowl, Mississippi's surprising 39-7 rout of Texas in the Su gar Bowl, and Oklahoma's 48-21 trouncing of "Duke in unting Southern By MEL With the Illinois river and the coast streams on a ram page due to the extended downpour, fishing, of course, has been at a standstill. With any break in the weather the streams should fish this week end and of course it goes without saying that when these waters lower and clear the fishing should be tops. At least, we deserve some top fishing after what we have had so far this season. SOME GEESE IN VALLEY Some reports drifting in say that there are some geese in the valley and some of the "in the right place at the right time boys" have had some pret ty good shooting. Most of what ducks there were have moved out with the storm and it is doubtful if there will be any con centration move in at this late season. REPEAT HOPED One year ago just after the season closed the last of De cember there were largefl numbers of honkers dropped into the Warner valley and stayed for about four days be fore taking off. There are some hunters keeping tele phone contact this year in hopes that there will be a re peat. It is a cinch that there are going to be some unfin ished jobs if the word sud denly comes that the birds are in. With the season ex tended to Jan. 15 this time, it will give time for some of this late season shooting. TAIL-END SEASON The Rogue and Apple gate open for the tail-end season on Jan. 15. There are a few anglers who are under the illusion (could be mostly) that the Applegate is open lo steelhead fishing now and are- fishing same. The stream is not open and unless there is a surplus of money ' lying around it would be well lo desist from visiting it. During the second sea son the Rogue is open only below the mouth of the Ap plegate. If we get some good water this year and decent weather we should have good fishing. SMITH RIVER HIGH The Smith river (Califor nia) has been very high and dirty for almost two weeks now and although a couple of local anglers managed to hook two and land one, even in this type of water it hasn't been worth the trip. Just as the river clears and starts to lower, the fish come in" in large concentrations and then is the time to go. This "fish run in high wa ter theory" is rather interest ing. For some time it has been thought that when the river was high and colored, the fish came up in large concentrations. was check ing the other day with some old market fishermen (com mercials they call them) and 1 RENTALS LAM PORTS the Orange Bowl. Everything But Game Oregon went into the Rose Bowl clash before 100,000 as a 21-pointunderdog, the big gest odds ever quoted on the classic at Pasadena, Calif. But the Webfoots won ev erything first downs, yards gained, most valuable awards to' quarterback Jack Crabtree everything that is, except the game. Navy, a one-point Cotton Bowl favorite, beat Rice on the rock 'em sock 'em line play of Tony Stremic a sup posed cripple with an ankle injury. Bob Reifsnyder, and Pete Jokanovich. The Middie maulers jolted Rice ball-toters loose from the pigskin five times and two of these re covered fumbles led to Navy scores. Joe Tranchini, Harry & Fishi Oregon REES in the days when nets were allowed on the Rogue they had a fine opportunity to find out when the fish did run. I learned that when the river was high and dirty the fish did not run upstream but on the contrary seemed to fall back downstream "some times as much as 4 or 5 miles. In one instance when there was a net across the river downstream and it was known that there were many fish below the Savage Rap ids dam, these fish actually drifted downstream and were taken in the upstream side of the net! The old timers however agreed that just as soon as the river started to clear well and to lower the fish came up in a rush. GAUGE FOR FISHERMEN This would give the rod and reel fisherman a sort of gauge to go by. Pick the time just following the high water for the best fishing. Also remember that these fish are on the move and you are liable to pick them up all over the river and not just in your favorite holes. During this time of water condition many fish can be taken in the fairly fast rif-, fles where the river is deep enough for good drifting. I believe that the fore going information does not hold true in a gradually rising stream when the col or is not too bad. I think that it holds true for fast rising and dirty water. We have had some excellent fishing when the river was two or three feet above average and the color was just on the murky side. NEW LICENSE NEEDED Don't forget Jan. 1 calls for a new license and a new set of fish tags. If you plan on hunting in the January duck and goose season you will need a new hunting li cense but your duck stamp is still good to the end of the season.

Texas Mistakes Hurt Hard - hitting Mississippi made Texas sophomores pay heavily for mistakes before 79,000 in the Sugar Bowl, set ting up four of its TD's by two fumbles, an interception, and an incident in which a Texas man got in the way of a Texas runt. Ray Brown was the bell-ringer for the Rebels as he passed for one touchdown and ran. for two others, including a 92-yard romp with a minute to play. Oklahoma didn't blow open the Orange Bowl tilt before 76,318 at Miami, Fla., until it scored four touchdowns in the final period. Dave Baker, forced to carry most of the load at quarterback with reg ular Carl Dodd limited to part-time action, starred by passing for one TD and scor ing two others, one on a 94 yard pass interception return that set an Orange Bowl dis tance record.
