Oregon Tech Tips Haiders 14-6 in Weird Encounter Ashland - When football's flukes and oddities . of 1959 are recorded for posterity, the Saturday night skirmish between the Owls of Oregon Technical institute and the Red Raiders of Southern Ore gon college should rate high Up on the list. it was a weird and "odd hBll" game, to say the least, ifl which numerous fumbles, ofce disastrous stumble over ojKi official and one of three gfqlen passes, rather than parkling foetball, had the ftture roles.

Charles Wil ayi booted both Owl conver spn tries. iFlukiest incident of the night came on the first OTI score. Southern Oregon pos sessed the ball on its own 17 yaxd line. While the ball was dangerously deep in home town territory, . the Raiders ioted that the Owls were leaving the flat unprotected. A roll out pass seemed a cer tain bet. ' - ! But, the strategy backfired with calamitous results. Quar terback Jack Brown, rolling and fading to throw the ball, ither tumbled over or was knocked down by referee Herb Hamer, and dropped the ball- Norgaard, quick for the opportunity grabbed the pig skin and crossed the goal.

" MonJy, Oct. 19, 195 9 the collision with the referee. Southern Oregon got its marker when quarterback Johnson of OTI, rushed in on by Raider defenders, lost the ball 12 yards behind his line of scrimmage. Garner scooped up the loose pighide and ran 22-yards to go over the pay-off stripe. Conversion kick by Bill Guthrie was low and wide. Only offensive drive that paid off in a touchdown went for 20 yards. A Brown aerial was snared by OTI's Johnson on the Raider 30 and run back to the 20. Wilson made four yards and Allen Leach one. Stan Glass gained three more to the '12. With fourth down and two yards to go SOC hopes were high of halting the goalbound surge. But a John son toss was complete to Nor gaard for first down on the one. Johnson fumbled on the next play and , the Raiders pushed the Owls back to the seven. But the Tech quarter back pitched to Norgaard for the TD on the next play. SOC Fans Aroused That Norgaard's diving catch on the sidelines, putting the ball on the one for the first down, was ruled good aroused SOC backers. For, earlier in the game, the Raid ers' end Gordon Carrigan had made what appeared to be a legal catch before running out of bounds. But the throw from Brown had been ruled incom plete. SOC's defeat was not be cause it lacked for opportuni ties to score. The Raiders reached the Owl one and six yard lines on futile touchdown bids. End Jim McAbee produced Southern Oregon's most sen sational ramble of the night on a fumble, which also ended a serious Owl threat. This came shortly following the kick-off after Tech had made the count 7 to 6. SOC with the ball on its 45 tried a statue of liberty play. The . exchange between Brown and Bud Kast ner was muffed. Frank Wilson fell on the ball giving it to OTI back on the Ashlander 27. The Owls went to first down on the 17.

McAbee grabbed the ball. The Raider end headed down the field, paused well into OTI territory then resumed his goalward trek. It appeared he'd go all the way to touch down land but McAbee drop ped the ball and had to scramble to regain possession on the Owl 11, ending a 72 yard run. A Tech offside helped the Raiders by putting the ball on the six yard line. But halfback Al McKinnis lost to the seven. On a pitchout Kerman Ben nett got back to the six. On fourth down Brown tried to pass. The throw appeared blocked but the ruling was fumble and OTI took over on its own 26. Southern had its other big chance in the late first quarter and early second after John Shama had fallen on an Owl fumble on the OTI 39. The Raider's first pass completion, Brown to Carrigan, went 30 yards to the nine-yard line. Fullback Allen Barnes made another yard and another play gained to the three. Halfback Eldon Francis went to the one on a reverse. Then on fourth down Barnes lost the ball on the one. SOC Stopped on Ground The Raiders reached the Owl 32, 35, 31 and 28 on other occasions. OTI made it to the SO 37, the 29 twice and to the 28. Leach once stopped SOC with ah interception on the Owl 10 and Wayne Allen of the Raiders interrupted a Tech aerial on his own 25. Southern Oregon ground at tack was generally ineffective against the Techmen. The Raiders went forward 93 yards from rushing but lost 74 to the Owl defense and netted only 19 for the game. The Klamath Falls club, on the other hand, moved 194 along the turf, lost 45 and netted 149. In the air SOC outgained the Owls 109 to 23. Raider coach AI Akins, much disappointed in his teams offense, said he would wait for the movies before making assessment of the game. He said there was some doubt as to whether Norgaard actually crossed the goal be fore being thrown back on the second Owl TD play. Oregon Tech is the first team to really stop the Ash landers on the ground, accord ing to the Raider mentor. Southern Oregon meets Ore gon college on Saturday after noon at Ashland in a home coming fray. STATISTICS: HOC!

It was the first time this year the Los Angeles defense was able to keep its opponent from scoring a touchdown. "You can't figure this league," said Rams Coach Sid Gillman after the game. "When you expect to win, you get killed. And when you think you might get killed, you win." Jack Morris kicked a 22 yard field goal, the first of three.
