Pasadena, Calif. 'IP Na

'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

hearts out. 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,

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

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

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

landt. Anderson, hobbled by
an inflamed foot tendon, play

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

birds, with one of the top
ranked clubs in Oregon, have
all-stater Glenn Moore, 6-8,
Bob Niles, 6-6, Dave Robinson,

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

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.

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

season on Jan. 15. There
are a few anglers who are
under the illusion (could be
mostly) that the Applegate

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

dirty for almost two weeks

of local anglers managed to

in this type of water it
hasn't been worth the trip.

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
