6 B. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNL, MEDFORD. ORE, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER "13. I960 Phoenix Overcomes St. Francis To Rise Into A-2 Football Semis Beavers Bop Indians 25-21 Phoenix - The Phoenix Pi' rates disDlayed a powerful of fense and a rock hard defense in grinding out a 13 to 7 quar tcrfinal victory over St. Fran cis of Eugene in Friday night's Orecon Class A-2 clash at Phnnnix. Phoenix scored early in the second and third quarters to clinch the victory, advancing it to the state semifinals against Central of Monmouth here next week end. Central gained the round of four by trimming McLoughlin high of Milton-Freewatcr also on Friday. Both Phoenix and St. Fran cis used a grind 'cm out type of single wing offense with much of the contest played between the 0-yard lines. However, after allowing St. Francis their lone touchdown midway through the second period, the Phoenix defense stiffened and rose to the occa sion in the only real St. Fran cis threat late in the third stanza. One-Yard Short The Saints drove to the Pi rate 10-yard stripe, however, couldn't get the one yard they needed for a first down with goal to go. Phoenix took over and coasted to victory, as St. Francis never advanced the ball farther than its own 35 yard line in the last frame. The Pirates marched 39 yards for their first score. They took over the ball on the Saint 39 after a punt. Eight plays advanced the ball to the 16. A penalty on the last play of the first quarter moved the ball half the distance to the goal line to the 7-yard stripe. Three plays moved the ball to the three. Then on third down, wlngback Monty Combs sprinted around right end for the touchdown. Gary Colfax kicked the extra point, giving Phoenix a brief 7 to 0 load. Saints Storm St. Francis came storming back late in the same period. It marched 57 yards ini nine plays. The drive was high lighted by a 26-yard pass from tailback Dave Nord to Mark Osborn moving the ball to the Pirate 24. Five plays, later Nord went off right tackle for eight yards and the touch' down. Fullback Gerald Gcr- sich ran for the extra point, knotting the score at halftlmc. It was obvious that Phoenix coach Jack Woodward had filled his boys with more than kind words during the half- time, as the Pirates returned to the field fired up. T ncy tooK the second half klckoff and marched 69-yards for what proved to be the Winning (core. Four plays moved the ball to the St. Francis 33. Then Mike Consbruck rambled 33- yards around left end for the winning tally. The extra point attempt was blocked. Pirates Dominate The Pirates hold a 13 to 7 lead. The missed extra point looked like it could have been disastrous when the Saints moved to the Pirate 10 late in the period. However, the Pirate defense held, and that might well have been the ball game as far as the Saints were concerned. They never seri ously threatened Pirate hopes In the final period. Phoenix dominated the game statistics, rolling up 238 net yards to the Saints' 105. First downs were Phoenix 11 and St, Francis 8. ipDiHnrs Phoenix rolled up all 238 net yards via the ground. The Saints recorded 66 yards rush ing and 39 passing. Phoenix attempted one pass which fell incomplete. St Francis tossed five times, com. plcting two. Two were Intercepted. Phoenix fumbled twice, los ing the ball once and recover ing their own bobble once. The Pirates are scmifinalists the second straight year. Ar rangements for the game with Central are to be completed Monday. Missouri Bids for Title By United Press International Missouri swept to its ninth straight victory and made a strong bid for the national college foot ball champion ship Saturday when it wallop ed Oklahoma while both first ranked -Minnesota and third ranked Ohio State were upset by Big 10 foes. Missouri, ranked second by the UPI board of coaches last week, insured its best season in 51 years with a 17-point fourth-period outburst before 56,500 at Norman, Okla. Half back Donnie Smith scored three touchdowns to lead the Orange Bowl-bound Tigers to their 41-19 win over Okla homa. There were only two upsets among the nation's top dozen or two teams but they both were pips: Purdue belting first-ranked Minnesota, 23-14, and Iowa slapping down third ranked Ohio State, 35-12. Iowa took over the Big Ten lead as a result of the two decisions. Fourth -ranked Mississippi remained unbeaten by top pling Tennessee, 24-3: fifth- ranked Washington clobbered California, 27-7: seventh-rank ed Arkansas downed Southern Methodist, 26-3; eighth-ranked Duke whipped Wake Forest, 34-7; ninth-ranked Navy but chered Virginia. 41-6; 10th- ranked Pittsburgh played 7-7 tie with Army; Michigan State and Auburn, co-ranked No. 11, beat Northwestern, 21-18, and Georgia, 9-6, re spectively; and 13lh- ranked Rice defeated Texas A&M 2-14. Clinch Tit Yale clinched a lie for the Ivy league title and moved to within one game of a perfect season when it walloped Princeton, 43-22, and Syracuse beat Colgate, 41-6, in big eastern games. Jake Glbbs' passes and the hard running of Jim Ander son, who scored two touch downs, paced Mississippi which was tied by L.S.U., for the sole blemish on its record and is headed for the Sugar Bowl. Washington clinched the Big Five title and likely Rose Bowl bid with an of fense that out -gained Cali fornia, 370-249. Arkansas con tinued on the inside track to the Cotton Bowl as soph Billy Moore scored one touchdown and set up two others with his bootleg options. A r kansas goes to the Cotton Bowl if it beats Texas Tech next Saturday. Walt Rappold scored two touchdowns as Duke assured itself of at least a tie for the Atlantic Coast conference title nd a bowl bid while All- America, sure-thing Joe Bel lino scored four touchdowns, one on a 90-yard run, to lead Navy to its seventh victory in eight games. Art Brandslatter s three extra points were the differ ence for Michigan State against Northwestern and the foot" also was the key to Auburn's triumph over Geor gia - a game in which all the points were scored on field goals. Ed Dyas made kicks of 28, 24 and 22 for Auburn, giving him a record of 12 FUEL BILLS GOT Insulate with Johns-Manvllle &MN7BC Our Budget Plan to Insulate) You can slash fuel bills as much as 30 per cent if you Insulate with Johni-Manville Spintex.

Tom Pennington kicked three pointers of 32 and 23 yards for George. Bob Wayt scored two touchdowns and Max Webb one for Rice which can tie for the Southwest confer ence title but won't get the Cotton Bowl bid. Quarterback Tom Singleton threw three touchdown pass es and scored a touchdown himself to lead "Yale to its smashing victory over Prince ton. Yale's point total was its highest against Princeton since 1931. The first period was scoreless but then Yale struck for three touchdowns and a 22-0 lead in the second period. Syracuse snapped a two- game losing streak when Pete Brokaw tallied three touch downs - one on a pass and the others on runs of 53 and 16 yards - in its traditional game with Colgate. It was the sixth win in eight games for the 1959 national champions. Stanford, Calif. - (UPD - Ore gon State, aided by the clutch running of tailback Don Kas- and a clipping penalty which wiped out a Stanford touchdown, defeated Stanford 25-21 Saturday to hand the famished Indians their ninth loss in as many contests. With the Indians holding a 21-19. lead In the fourth pe riod, Kasso smashed over left tackle and went 16 yards for the touchdown that put Ore gon State ahead to stay. The swift back from nearby Ber keley, Calif., had tallied on 12-yard run late in tne third period to help narrow Stanford's margin to 21-19. The Indians almost won the game with about two minutes to play when fullback Skip Face raced across on a pitch out from three yards out for an apparent score. But it was nullified by the clipping in fraction and Oregon State took over after quarterback Dick Norman threw two in- Huskies Trip Cal 27-7; Clinch Rose Bowl Trip Seattle - IUPII - Washington clinched the Big Five football championship and a second trin to the Rose Bowl Satur day by rolling over outclassed California, 27-7, to the delight of 56,000 homecoming day fans.

The Bears finally got the scoreboard midway in the final period when reserve quarback Larry Ballictt hit Steve Bates with a 7-yard touchdown pass to end a 48 yard drive. Washington, on the other hand, scored with ease the first two times the Huskies got their hands on the ball. They held a 13-0 lead be fore the game was eight min utes old. Washington drove 71 yards in 13 plays after receiving the opening kickoff, fullback Ray Jackson capping the march from two yards out. Washington then stopped California cold and scored again with a 34-yard double reverse pass play from quar terback Bob Hivncr to end Pat Claridge. Center Roy McKasson defensive stalwart for th Huskies all season, set up the third Washington score when he intercepted Randy Gold' pass and stepped off 38 yards as nicely as any halfback be fore he was pulled down on- Cars four-yard line. Three plays later, quarter back Kermit Jorgensen sneak ed over. The final Husky score came on a seven-yard pass from Hivncr to George Fleming. The touchdown climaxed 95-yard march after the Hus kies stopped a Cal threat on the Washington five. The touchdown also climax' ed a great day for Fleming, The Negro halfback tied an all-time school record when he kicked his 14th consecutive point after touchdown a n packed the ball for 67 yards Washington threatened to score twice more In the game, but one drive ended when re serve halfback Charley Mitch ell fumbled on the California eight in the first period and the other march bogged down on the Cal 13 when Jorgen sen s attempted fourth-down pass was batted to the ground complete passes and was smeared trying to get off an other by linebacker Hank Ri vera. Run Out Clock The Beavers ran out the clock at that point but some real action ensued after the final gun popped when both sides collided In a minor riot which was quickly stamped out. A quorum of only 7,500 out of an expected 20,000 turned up for the contest which was played under in termittent downpours and sunshine. Terry Baker, the Oregon State tailback who went into the game leading the nation in .total offense, did not have one of, his better days. He got off a nine-yard run for the touchdown that gave Ore gon State a 7-0 lead but later threw an interception which set up Stanford's second TD and then failed to connect on a pass while trying for a two point conversion. Norman connected on nine out of 14 heaves for 131 yards ealned and a career total of 3,604 yards. This broke the old Stanford record of 3,594 held by John Brbdie. Fumbles Twice Twice, however, he fumbled the ball away, and his second bobble was the one that set up Oregon State's victory drive. The Indians were on the Oregon State 35 midway through the final period when tackle Frank Grcmminger stormed through to recover a Norman fumble while the Stanford quarterback was try ing to throw the slippery ball That started Oregon State on the way to the clinching touchdown. The march was kept alive by an 18-yard run on the part of wingback Gene Hilliard down to the Stanford 38. Coach Jack Curtis of Stan ford said he would not com ment on the disastrous clip- Dine Denalty until after he had seen the game films. Tigers Remain Undecided On Managerial Selection Los Angeles - OJPD - Tne Detroit Tigers took stock Sat urday of a plentiful supply of candidates for a new manager, and insisted they haven't made up their minds on wno will pilot the American league baseball club in 1961. About all that was certain was that it wouldn't be Casey Stengel, the former Yankee manager who dropped out of the race Thursday. Club President John Fetzcr said the absence of a final se lection didn't mean the Tigers weren't hopeful of making a decision as soon as possible. Webf oots Whip W. Va. 20 6 Portland - IUPD - Quarter back Dave Grosz scored two touchdowns on the ground Saturday to lead bowl-minded Oregon to a 20-6 football vic tory over West Virginia. Grosz, a cool senior wnose a s s 1 n g was ineffective, plunged over from 1 yard out in the first quarter ana ran i yards in the fourth period for the key scores. Halfback Cleveland Jones raced 50 yards late in the game to ice the triumph after the winless Mountaineers had closed the gap 13-6 on a long pass play. Quarterback Dale jsvans oi the losers combined wltn hail- back Jim Moss on a 73-yard scoring pass late in the game for West Virginia's only score. It was the seventh victory in nine games for independent Oregon, which has had feelers from the Gator and Liberty bowls. The game, played before a slim crowd of 11,864, was a dull affair until the final period. Oregon scored midway in the first quarter aner cen ter Joe Clescerl recovered Bob Benke's fumble on the West Virginia 37. It took Oregon eight plays to push over tne touchdown with Grosz going over from a yard out. West Virginia moved to tne Oregon 10 late in the first half after two Oregon lum bles. The Webfoots had driven to the losers' 44 on a drive iehlighted by a 31-yard pass from Grosz to Jones. It was Grosz' only pass completion of the day in 10 attempts. West Virginia end Bob Tim merman then batted down an ttempted pitchout by Grosz and recovered the ball him self on the Oregon 10. The Mountaineers had to punt but Lion Offense Starts Moving In NFL Games Detroit - IUPD - The Detroit Lions find themselves in the nnnpeustomed role of four- Doint favorites for t o d a y': game with the Los Angeles Rams, thanks mainly to quintet formerly scoffed at as unlikely pro looioau pros pects. The Lion offense has steadi ly burgeoned from a hopeless fizzle at the beginning of the 1960 National Football league ramnaien to a loud explosion in recent weeks. And most of the cred t goes to live piay crs-quartcrback Jim Ninow- ski, fullback fietrosanie, nau- back Danny Lewis ana enas c,M Cond 11 and Jim uio- bons. Ninowski, discarded by Paul Brown at Cleveland, ap years finally to have blossom ed into the kind of signal caller Lion Coach George Wil son always said he would be In a half season with the Lions he has passed for 1,021 yards, a local output topped only by the redoubtable Bob by Lane. But it wasn't until last Sun day's 24-0 defeat of San Fran Cisco that Ninowski was able to score a touchdown by pass ing. And now that he has broken the ice, Wilson is predicting Ninowski's arm will lead the Lions to greater things the rest of the way Bears Are Underdogs To Colts By NORMAN MILLER United Press International And now it's the Chicago Bears who reach the crisis stage in the National Football leaeue race. Two weeks ago it was tne Philadelphia Eagles; last week it was the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants. All surviv ed the early season makc-or- break game and that s the big reason why seven clubs re main in contention for the ti tle. The Bears, who have a 3-2-1 record and cannot afford an other defeat, are 7-point un derdogs against the Western Division-leading Colts in tne NFL's top game at Chicago, Here is how the five otner games today shape up (all fa vorites are the home teams): Philadelphia Eagles 14 points over Washington KeasKins; New York Giants 7V4 over Pittsburgh Steelers; Cleveland Browns 10V4 o-er St. Louis Cardinals; Green Bay Packers 22 over Dallas Cowboys; Dfr troit Lions 4 over Los Angeles Rams. The San Francisco For ty Niners are idle. Boston -IUPD- The Boston Pa triots may make a battle out of the American Football League's Eastern Division al ter all. The Patriots, guided by Quarterback Butch Songin's aging but still talented passing arm, carved out an impressive 38-21 win over the stumbling New York Titans at Boston University field Friday night for their fourth triumph against five defeats. The rest of the AFL action comes today, with Houston at Los Angeles, Buffalo at Oak land and Denver at Dallas. The Chargers lead the West ern Division with a 5-3 record. Buckaroos Defeat Vancouver in WHL Vancouver, B. C. - IUPD -The Portland Buckaroos de feated Vancouver, 4-0, Friday night for their third straight Western Hockey league vic tory. The victory evened Port land's record for the season at four wins, four losses and a tie. In other WHL play, Edmon ton defeated Seattle, 4-3; Win nipeg tied Calgary, 2-2, and Spokane defeated Victoria, 3-2. Oregon's Dave Grayson fum bled and West Virginia re covered on its own 45. The second Oregon touch down came after Grayson in tercepted an Evans pass on the West Virginia 10 in the final period. Grosz then ran around right end on a keeper for the score. West Virginia then came back to gain its only score on the 73 yard pass play. Jones, a 5-foot-3 inch senior. got a key block by fullback Duane Cargill, and scamper ed 50 yards untouched into the end zone. Grosz com pleted only one out of 12 passes and had one intercept ed West Virginia now has sev en losses and two tics for the Alabama Wins iti Closing Seconds Atlanta - IUPD - R i c h a r O'Dell's goal at the final gu gave fired-up Alabama a 16- 15 victory over Georgia Tech Saturday. The clock was down to its last second when O'Dell kick ed from the 24-yard line on a play called without a huddle, leaving 45,000 fans sitting stunned in their seats. Georgia Tech took a 15-0 lead in the first half and so completely ' dominated the game up to that point than any chancef or a comeback by the Crimson Tide seemed remote.
