Placement Kick Still Liked
By' Most
New York -ttPB- The major
ity of the nation's college
football ' coaches apparently
are not born gamblers.
Most coaches still prefer
settling for the "old fashion
ed" placement kick instead of
"shooting the works" on a
.two-point rush or pass play
after each touchdown, a sur
vey conducted by the NCAA
Service Bureau revealed to
day. The reason for this conser
vative approach to the new

Passes Unsuccessful
The survey of 323 games
played thus far this year
showed that major colleges
have been successful in 65.1
per cent of their kicking at
tempts, 50.2 per cent of their
rushes and only 42.9 per cent
of their passes for extra
points.
In last weekend's major
college games, the coaches
i Medford men's and wom
en's teams went to Klamath
Falls on Sunday for the open
ing of additional alleys at the
lanes there and were on the
short end of team totals
against Klamath rivals. In the
men's first match, a high scor
ing one, Klamath took two
games f nd had 2,954 to 2,920
in total pins. In the second
tussle Klamathites took all
three games and carded a
bulging 3,008 while the Med
ford five faltered to a 2,582.
Klamath Ladies Win
Klamath ladies took all
games and total pins, 2,467 to
2,358, in their ruckus.
Six men had 600 or better
games in the men's first
match. Gordon Schulz topped
the field with 646 on 226-204-216
and teammates Fred An
derson and Karl Johnson had
618 and 600, respectively. For
Klamath Falls scores were
Les Bieber 621, Cliff Stemler
617 and Bill Hawley 608 and
Stemler had a big 248 game.
Walt Daigle and Ray Wise
were others on the Medford
team.
Al Hackenworth sparked
the second fuss for Klamath
with a 641 series while Bieber
had a 616. Daigle was high
for the Medford five with 526.
Vivian Knox and Shirley
Daigle with 540 each had top
scores for the. Medford. wom
en while Joyce Ross was high
individual for Klamath with
526. Others on the Medford
team were Claudia Lowd,

elected to kick for the extra
point 60 per cent of the time,
the NCAA reported.
The survey also revealed
these important facts:
-The new conversion rule
has helped reduce the number
of tie games.
-Pacific Coast teams are the
greatest two-point gamblers
but Eastern teams have been
the most successful pass-run
exponents.
-College teams are kicking
field goals at a record pace.
In the matter of tie games,
there have been only nine so
far this season compared to
17 at this stage of the 1957
campaign. These figures, of
course, are based on the 109
major college teams surveyed.
Go For Broke
Pacific Coast teams have
"gone for broke" by shooting
for two points about 60 per
cent of the time but they have
been successful only about 40
per cent of the time.
Eastern teams, on the oth
er hand, have been successful
in 61.7 per cent of their two
point conversion, tries. Partly
because of this, the East leads
the nation with a scoring av
erage of 36.3 points per game.
The Midwest, which usually
produces the highest-scoring
games, ranks third this year
with a 32.9 average.
Field goal production is
soaring towards a new rec
ord. A total of 54 have been
kicked with slightly more
than half the season complet
ed compared to the record of
82 set in 1952. Last year's to
tal was 64.

The Dalles-(UPD-Bill Eggers

won the local invitational pro
amateur golf tournament
Monday by shooting two bird

Eggers, the pro, shot a

the amateur, followed with a

Monday, to finish at 136 along
with Sid Harmon and Vic Pit

Oldfield and Palmrose shot

the District 5 titlist in state
quarter-finals.
Speed Prescott in his Ash

Crater-Ashland high football
game last Friday night com
mented that for Ashland the
only bright spot of the eve
ning was "the sterling per
formance of the high school
band, the pep club, majorettes
and the flag girls . . ." He
added, "Had the Grizzlies ap
plied themselves in like man
ner, the scoreboard would
have had a different story to
tell."
Crater won the game 40
to 13.
"The Crater Comets played
heads-up ball, nothing extra
ordinary, just plain good fun
damental football . . Pres
cott declared. He also re
marked that the Grizzlies
"were determined to be their
own worst enemy."
Crater dominated the con
flict ' almost all the way and
the score is evidence that the
Comets took advantage of a
good share of their opportuni
ties. RECOLLECTION
