Compressor Delivered SP 2-5271 Crusaders Will Be Hosts for Oregon Quarter-Final Mix St. Mary's of Medford to day awaited its role of host in the quarter-finals of the Oregon Class B high school football championships. The Crusaders of this city humbled Merrill on Saturday to gain the District 5B dia dem. They turned back the Huskies 46 to 26 in an offensive-minded game. Merrill last year had won the Oregon small school crown. Victory matched the Med ford parochial school against a team from central or north central Oregon. That adver sary, as yet unknown, will represent District 6. Oregon School Activities association football play-off plan, places the quarter-final on the field of the winner of District 5 not later than Nov. 14. St. Mary's, 6-0 in the cir cuit after triumph here Sat urday night, tightened up its early loose ground defenses and broke away from a 20 to 20 deadlock to conquer the Klamath county Husky pack Merrill was never closer to the Crusaders than a touch down after SM made it 27 to 20 in the closing seconds of the half. Score after three periods was 39 to 26. Three TDs Each Dick and Bob Evans each tabulated three ' touchdowns for the Medford team and Ron Daley one while Terry Coop er kicked i four conversion points. Dean Haskins and Troy Patterson en runs and Bill Beasly and Billy Artery on passes from Denny Salva dori were the Husky TD mak ers. Patterson ran an extra and Buckie Wilson thumped a bonus point. Coach Bill McKibbin's aroused Crusaders went for touchdowns on their second, third, fourth and fifth chances with the ball and Merrill on its first, second and fourth op portunities as the teams trad ed score for score in the first half. It was a keyed up St. Mary's aggregation which en tered action Saturday. Pass defense was a Crusader weak ness through the night and led to three Merrill scores, and it looked for a time like ground assault might be a force toward a Husky tri umph. But, St. Mary's settled down and collected its turf resistance. It permitted just one Merrill touchdown in the second half, holding the Hus kies to minus 10 net rushing yardage over the last two quarters. Team Effort It was "definitely a team effort," said McKibben in re viewing St. Mary's title-winning game. The Merrill loss ended a long string of victories for the Klamath county king which uvu CONCRETE C? 248 E. McAndrews Rd. wound up with a 5-1 mark within the district. It hadn't lost to any other team this year and was unbeaten through 1958. MerilJ drove 45 yards to the game's first score after a 21-yard punt runback by Has kins. Thirteen plays were needed and Haskins toured the last 11 yards with Haskins converting. St. Mary's strted from its own 42-yard line after the en suing kick-off. After a three yard gain by Dick Evans, a penalty against Merrill for grabbing a face mask put the ball on the Husky 40 stripe. Three plays moved to the 29 yard line. Then Alex Mete quick hit for 20 to the nine. Dick Evans then went over right tackle and shook loose from tacklers three times be fore he crossed the goal. Coop er added his first extra for 7 to 7 tie. Beasly Scores The Huskies followed with a 56-yard drive after a good kick-off return by Haskins, They needed just five plays to score with a Salvadori chuck to Beasley for 21 yards and the TD. A 15-yard run by Beasley and a 16-yarder by Salvadori were the big ground gains of the quick promenade which made it 13 to 7. But the Medford team struck back even more sud denly, using just three plays to cover 67 yards. Mete ad vanced from the SM 33 to the 37 on the last play of the first quarter. On the first strike of the second Bob Evans pumped a pass to Roger Hout who made it to the 11 for 52-yard gain. Bob Evans cov ered the remaining distance to the pay line on a roll and option play. That tied it 13 each. Merrill was held on its own 27 after the kick-off and St Mary's took the ball on its own 45 after the punt. Mete swept nine yards to the Hus ky 46 then ran all the way to the goal on a quick-hitter only to have a procedure infrac tion cancel out the run. SM still was not to be denied. Two plays got a first down on the 44 and the Crujaders went the rest of the distance in eight plays with Bob Evans sneaking over from the one Cooper's kick made it 20 to 13. Kick Backfires Next Husky TD was just about a gift. SM tried an on- side kick-off by Bob Evans and recovered the ball but Crusader was off-side and the Medford team had to kick again. The Crusaers tried the same maneuver but the ball went out-of-bounds on the SM 40 where Merrill got posses sion. Three plays later the Klam ath club had a TD with Pat terson scoring from the three and Wilson kicking the extra to again deadlock the game. A 33-yard pass-run, Salvadori to Brian Fields, put the ball on the five-yard line in this surge. St. Mary's came back in the last 1 minute 35 seconds of the half to go ahead to stay, covering 57 yards in four plays and the help of a pen alty on Merrill. Fred Lucas ran 14 yards to the Merrill 43. A sensational reverse, lat eral and pass play, with Bob Evans hurling to Daley, took the ball 35 yards to the eight- yard line. Mete made just a yard then the Huskies were charged with a personal four and pen alized half the distance to the goal. Dick Evans plowed over the right side of the line into the end zone and Cooper thumped the bonus ' for the halftime 27 to 20. Fumble Halts The Crusaders tabulated on their first three scrimmage marches of the second half and a fumble stopped them on the nine-yard line on the fourth. SM lost the ball on downs on the 11-yard line just before the closing horn. A clipping penalty on the second half kick-off put Mer rill back on its eight yard line and it was forced to punt on fourth down from behind the nine yard line. That gave SM the ball on the Husky 37. Four plays gained to the 15 but Hout was spilled back on the 25. Bob Evans then pitched to Daley for a touch down. Merrill next went 55 yards to tally. Salvadori to Beasley passes got 24 and 12 yards to the 19 and Patterson hit to the 18. Slvadori tossed to Ar tery for 33 to 26. Second St. Mary's touch down of the third quarter was on aBob to Dick Evans ae-l AHEAD TO STAY - Dick Evans crossed the goal with the touchdown which put St. Mary's high ahead for good in its grid mix with Merrill here Saturday night. The TD made the score 27 to 0 and the Crusaders went on to win 46 to Portland Reports Orderly Halloween Portland -UPD- Portland po lice termed this Halloween one of the "most orderly in years." Police said juvenile activ ity in the east side of Portland was "mainly nonsense" al though somebody sprayed sev eral parked cars with paint and a mail box was smashed. On Council Crest, teen-agers threw eggs on one another and hung the traditional dummy from the Vista ave. bridge. JERUSALEM MAYOR Jerusalem - (UPD - Gershon Agron, 66, mayor of Jerusal em since 1956, died Sunday after a lengthy illness. rial. The pitch was a short one and some spectacular broken field work by Dick en abled him to elude tacklers and reach the end zone on a play which covered 60 yards. Tackled From Behind Daley accomplished a save for SM on the following kick off. Haskins, who received the ball on the Merrill 17, ran back 48 yards to the Cru sader 35 before being caught from behind by the St. Mary's flankman. The Huskies moved to the SM 12 where they lost the ball on downs. The Crusaders toured the 88 yards in nine plays for the last TD. Hout went for 21 yards and Fred Lucas for 28 and the pay-off romp was a four-yard option run by Bob Evans using his blockers well. Cooper added his fourth ex tra. A 33-yard pass play, Bob Evans to Daley, took the Cru saders 33 yards to the Merrill eleven on SM's fourth scrim mage series of the half. But the gain cost the team the services of Daley for the play offs. He was injured when tackled and was found to have a broken collarbone. Coach McKibbin said that Daley might be able to see duty if the Medford club reaches the B championship finals. It's a real loss because of his ability plus desire. Interception A Bob Evans pass intercep tion gave SM the ball in the waning minutes on the Mer rill 26. Dick Evans made it to the 13 for first down. But, the home team was set back to the 18 on a procedure in fraction. Dick gained to the 17 but Bob lost to the 19. De lay of the game was tooted on St. Mary's and the ball moved back to the 24. Lucas went to the 17 and to the 11 on successive plays but SM had to give up the ball. Merrill's Salvadori was dumped back on his two as the game ended. Merrill's ambitions in the final moments were damaged when Salvadori suffered a hobbling leg injury. That hurt the Husky aerial threat. SM offense, run well by Bob Evans, outgained Merrill 445 to 225. STATISTICS: SM Mer.

Cooper ' Med SIPODDBTS Raiders Prub EOC For 2nd in League North Bend - Taking a hint from Southern Oregon college football Coach Al Akins, Gordy Carrigan went out and caught three touchdown passes to help the Raiders swamp Eastern Oregon college 25-7 in the Ninth annual Myrtle Bowl game here Saturday night. Akins was meditating over the fact the Raiders had scor ed only one touchdown through the air in six prev ious games just before game time in the dressing room. Carrigan, slim and standing just 5 feet 10 inches, snared seven passes while being double teamed most of the evening. His yardage add ed up to 90. Jack Brown and Lance Locke, the Raiders top two quarterbacks had a field day through the air. On the ground the defensive unit of the Raid ers was having an equally good time in holding Eastern Oregon to a net of five yards. 10 of 13 by Brown Brown hit 10 of the 13 aerials he threw and one was Carrigan's first touchdown in the second quarter. Locke tallied twice on aerials to Carrigan while completing four passes. Led by the charging of Dick Smith, Neil Green, Pedro Colley, and Dave Brown, the forward wall of the Raiders allowed only 63 yards rush ing while smearing .Mountie ball carriers for 81 yards in losses. This gave EOC a minus 18 yards rushing. Through the air the luck less Mounties completed three passes for 23 yards. . Akins said of his squad afterwards that it was one of the best combined efforts of offense and defense the Raiders have put together this year. Southern Oregon, in nail ing down runner-up honors in the Oregon Collegiate con ference for the second suc cessive year, totaled 345 yards offensively. SOC got 174 pass ing and 171 rushing. Had Command The Raiders had command throughout the game and scored their first touchdown with -2:54 remaining in the first quarter when Allen Barnes banged across from the one foot line. Phil Swisher added his only conversion of the night. SOC got the ball on the Fa stern 47 yard line after a punt and after losing one yard, Brown passed to Jim McAbee for 25 yards and Carrigan for 16 to put the ball on the Mountie seven yard line. Doyle Bransom got five yards BAY Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Drain Tile Bricks, Flues 727 W.

Among Huskies who failed to stop Evans are Buickie Wilson (50), Dean Haskins (56), Bill Beasly (55) and Jim Reed (79). This scoring play gained 3V& yards. une before Barnes put the ball on the one foot line prior to the touchdown. Scoring in every quarter, SOC's Carrigan got the first of his three with 10:49 re maining in the second stanza. The drive started on EOC's 45 yard line with Brown, Eldon Francis, and Barnes moving the ball to the 12 yard line along with a seven yard pass play to Carrigan. Dominated All Areas Brown then rolled out on a second down situation and hit Carrigan in the end zone. Halftime showed the Raid ers leading 13-0 and dominat ing every area of play. At the half Eastern had managed only one first down and that by virtue of a penary against SOC. Again starting in EOC ter ritory, the Raiders drove to the Mountie seven where Locke hit Carrigan for the second tally through the air. It was Francis and Al Mc Kinnis packing the ball all the way on the ground except for a pass interference pen alty to set up the score. SOC was down in scoring position again when the pass ing came to a disastrous hesi tation as Chuck Backer in tercepted for EOC on his own 25 and raced the full 75 yards for the score. John Wilmarth added the conversion with 7:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. 3-4 for Season Not to be slighted, the Raid ers started another drive that moved the ball to the Mountie 27 yard line on an 11-yard pass to Carrigan. Carrigan driving in and then breaking out met face to face with Locke's pass on the next play three yards into the end zone witK 28 seconds remaining to play in xne game. The win gives the Raiders a 3-4 record on ine season and a final 3-1 mark in OCC play. Two games remain ,to be played at home by SOC and the first one is next Saturday night on Fuller field.
