St. Mary's of Medford and Yoncalla knotted 12 to 12 before -some 2,500 fans. Now, each will receive a trophy emblematic of the crown. ' Yoncalla is justly due its! glory.

Sat urday night outcome- brought a second state grid mantle here since Medford High school on Friday copped the A-l prize. Cliff Hanger In Saturday night's em broilment, in which each team displayed an intrepid brand of ball, Yoncalla, with its passing game standing up to reputation, claimed the yardage honors. But, the Eagles twice had to come from behind and they re pulsed two late and deep St. Mary's penetrations to come out with the tie. It was a contest' Yoncalla foach Ron Anderson termed "a real cliff hanger" as he praised the nard tackling and blocking on both sides. The teams fought through a score less first quarter.

Then, Revelle hit Wiley for a score, his 36th touchdown pass this fall. Keveile, who also nas tossed 24 conversion passes this year, threw to Booth on the bonus try.

The Eagles, with 18 and 16-yard Revelle to Wiley passes and a 12-yard slant by Holloman, surged in nine plays to the St. Mary's 28. But Roger Hout intercepted a Keveile throw giving SM the ball on its own five. The Crusaders with a 22 yard Bob Evans to Knutson pass capping the effort and using sweeps by Hout moved out to their 44. A play lost a yard and on the next play an intercepted Bob Evans pass, by Revelle, put the ball in Yoncalla hands on the Eagle 48. 1 A procedure infraction set the visitors back on their 43. A toss, Revelle to Booth, gained to the SM 49. A pass was incomplete. The teams then exchanged penalties. And, when Revelle to Emery pass attempt failed, the fin al horn blared and a co-championship was assured. Crusaders Give Weight St. Mary's outweighed 16 pounds per man in the line, did a terrific job defensively, led by Tom Tomjack and Don Rausch. Wiley and Don Teague were among top de fenders for the Eagles. The Crusaders, with their only loss to a non-Oregonian team, Yreka, finished the year with nine victories. Yon calla was undefeated in 1959 and had eleven triumphs go ing into the championship game. ' ' " In a way, , the co-title was appropriate since Yoncalla was runner-up to champion Merrill last year and St, Mary's eliminated Merrill this fall in district play. Mer rill gridders were in the stands rooting for the Crusad ers. ' There were previously co- champions in 1954 when Mon roe and - Union tied and in 1956 when Monroe shared with Stanfield.

"There's still a chance we can get to gether on a deal for him." Chief stumbling block up to now is the Senators' insist ence on Neal, whose timely slugging figured prominently in the Dodgers' World Series victory over the White Sox last month. . "We can't afford to give up a player like Neal, Bavasi said, recoiling at the thought. Now if they want to talk about some of the other play ers maybe we can do busi ness." . -Maybe Wills or Zimmer The Senators might be will ing to take infielders Maury Will and Don Zimmer instead and if that proves to be the case, the Dodgers might be tempted. In any case, the Senators made it plain they are in the market. "We're speaking to several clubs and something could pop," pointed out Washington Manager Cookie Lavagetto. The Senators, for example, apparently are willing to give up righthander Pedro Ramos to the Giants for outfielder Felipe Alou. They also have talked to the Orioles about southpaw Billy O'Dell, indi cating they would give Pitch er Tex Clevenger and an in fielder for him. geles touchdown but the Colts led all the way.
