His passing and his running have been features for the Panthers, who have strong runners also in Dick Wildfang and Steve Rule. Phoenix utilizes mainly single wing. Some T also is employed. Passes are used as spot weapons. Aerials gener ally get long gains and some times go all the way. Running of Mike Consbruck through the line and of Jerry Moore around it highlight the Pirate attack. Consbruck has rushed for as high as 249 yards in a single game and Moore for 184. The Pirates have won nine straight tangles since dropping their non-loop open er to Ashland.

Olsen, from North Eugene High school, may become one of the top quarterbacks ever produced in small college football in the Northwest, ac cording to Raider Coach Al Akins. - Akins is first to point out that Olsen is not only a fine footballer, but he ranks high as a student at Southern Ore gon. Olsen likes to point to an other frosh 'on the Raider squad in Howard Hartman from Healdsburg, Calif. Hart man was Olsen's prime target this season. The Californian ran up an impressive record of his own by catching 39 passes, a record at Southern Oregon, for 685 yards. This effort will place him in strong contention when the District 2 NAIA team is chosen. Hartman was expected to be playing in the shadow of Gordy Carrigan, an NAIA standout from the year before as an end. Carrigan was called upon to fill at quarterback for two games and was in jured in another, thus putting the aerial receiving job on the shoulders of Hartman. Although Olsen and Hart man stood out for the most part, Carrigan earned recog nition aplenty in his own right. The Crater High grad finished his collegiate football as a jack-of-all-trades, playing quarterback and wingman. Carrigan, who stands 5-10 and weighs under 180 pounds, passed for 205 yards in two games, rushed for 143 more, lit f 1440 KC Sports Station" f m n Talent high merged with Phoenix this fall, bringing some athletic talent.

Olsen's accomplishments numbered 854 yards passing and a net of 23 yards rushing. The frosh signalcaller launch ed the ball 107 times to have someone on the receiving end 60 occasions for a highly re spectable 56.1 per cent. Thus his total offense was 877 yards or an average of 146.2 yards per game, behind a line that was plagued by injuries every game in at least one position. Hartman's 39 receptions and 686 yards was gained in eight games (he missed one because of a knee injury), for an average of 85.8 yards per contest. He was also the team's leading scorer with 48 points. ' It is relatively easy to spot the outstanding backfield and wing stars, but it is difficult to keep an eye on the impres. sive linemen. However, one such gridster at SOC has been left guard Tony (The Tiger) Brauner. Brauner gained top honors last year after being converted from a reserve quarterback role to guard. He was placed on the District 2 NAIA all-star team and the Oregon Collegiate conference top squad in his first year as a lineman. This season was no less of an effort for the ex-Medfordite as he was a big factor in making the sweeps and dives work for the Raider backs. A big factor that kept him as a prominent lineman was his fine physical conditioning that kept him uninjured. Akins grants that it was this quartet of stars that were big factors in making the offen sive machine of the Raiders average 330.3 yards per game, a mark unopposed by other OCC members. However, he is quick to point out the Raid ers were a fine group for working as a unit. This is one reason he feels they had such success in their games with Lewis and Clark and Santa Clara although they lost to the Pioneers by two extra points. When you have six backs who grind out over 130 yards each in a season, it has to be a fine well balanced team ef fort with a number of out standing stars, not just one or two, Akins states. With those words, Akins wrote the finale to a fine sea son in which the Raiders were able to point to improvement in every game which led to their final 26-20 victory over Santa Clara.

In finding Wagman guilty, the jury discounted a claim by the defense that Wagman only bank-rolled the bribery of Florida fullback Jon Mac beth and that New York teen ager Philip Silber, a former Floridas tudent and fraternity brother of Macbeth's, master minded the operation. Wagman was released un der $15,000 bond several hours after his conviction and left for New York with his attorney, Joel Wineberg. Cir cuit Judge John A. H. Mur- phree gave Wineberg until Dec. 1 to prepare a motion for a new trial. Wineberg said he plans to appeal the con viction if the new trial mo tion is denied. Wagman faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprison ment and a $10,000 fine. Stilt Failure At Foul Line United Preu International Wilt Chamberlain scored 45 points and grabbed 28 re bounds against Syracuse Thursday night - and yet the big boy must accept the goat s horns for the Philadelphia Warriars' fourth straight de feat. Chamberlain, not oriously weak in his foul shooting this season, had 27 attempts from the free throw line, a new National Basketball associa tion record. However, the Stilt missed 18 of his shots and the Warriors blew a one- point decision to Syracuse, 106-105, in the second game of a professional doublehead er. The St. Louis Hawks won the opener of the twinbill played at Philadelphia, defeat ing the Detroit Pistons, 11 105. Veeck Dislikes Allotment Plan New York-MPll-BIU Veeck of the Chicago White Sox said today he didn't think the player allotment plan adopted the American league was lib eral enough and he felt that the new cities should have more "name" players than they're likely to get under the setup. "I know the White Sox were willing to give up con siderably more than the plan allows," Veeck said. "After all, these clubs play nine games against us in our own ball park and I feel per sonally we could have done better by those new clubs." BOUT AT PORTLAND Portland UP1 Kirk Barrow of Spokane, a young man who hopes to get a short at Port land's Eddie Machen in the near future, meets Monroe Ratliff of Los Angeles in a 10-round heavyweight boxing match here Tuesday night. Barrow defeated Terry Lewis of Seattle in his last fight for the Washington state heavy weight title and will be out to score his 14th straight victory when he tangles with Ratliff. MAY MOVE GAMES Oakland, Calif. - IUPII - The way looked clear today for the Oakland Raiders to move their final three games to Candle stick Park, in summer the home of baseball's San Fran cisco Giants. The Raiders an nounced Thursday they had asked permission to move their final three games out of Kezar Stadium in San Francisco to the ball park. CONERLY MAY NOT PLAY New York -flJPD- Indications are today that quarterback Charley Conerly will not be able to play Sunday when the New York Giants meet the Philadelphia Eagles in their showdown game for first place in the National Football League's Eastern Division race. Conerly worked out In sneakers Thursday but his In jured left knee began aching again and he had to quit. TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Last week end was a lucky time for those who made the trek to the Illinois river. There were a few salmon picked up that weren't in too bad a shape, but sometimes any fish is better than none at all. Contrariwise, the Rogue wasn't too hot after the first hour or so of day light. GHOST TOWN Last Saturday's fishing safari tried Whiskey creek on the Rogue below Rainey falls and found spawning salmon and a few ileelhead. There seemed to be quite a number of fish in the river but they weren't doing any thing after a fish or two x was hung, worthy ol com ment is the trip down to Whiskey creek which lakes you past the old Benton mine, complete with cya nide vats and empty houses. This must have been quite a beehive of activity before it shut down in the thirties. When passing through one can't help but wonder what effect the cyanide had on the fishery when the vats were cleaned and the poi sons were flushed down the creek into the river. Let's hope them days is long gone. MARINE BOARD REPORT The State Marine board in releasing statistics compiled from boating accident reports states that during the first nine months of this year plea sure boating accidents in Ore gon claimed 21 lives. There were 104 accident reports, CAUSES The majority of accidents involved boats that were lest than 16 feet long, col lisions between two or more boats, and water skiers. Causes of accidents are overloading the boat, making extremely sharp turns, standing in a small boat, boating in bad weath er and reckless operation which accounuted for tome of the collisions. It was in dicated that 16 lives would have been saved had the victims been wearing life preservers. If the Rogue continues to show large numbers of fish, there it a tlrong pro bability that many fiiher men will be fishing the ri ver below Helltgate during the winter teaton. In con trast to the Applegate to Robertson bridge section, the Galice portion of the liver it dangerout to boat when boats are small and Barry MacKay In Tennis Final Sydney, Australia - (UPH - Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, may not be the most polished amateur tennis play er around, but until a better one comes along he'll do nice ly, ,as far as U.S. Davis Cup team captain David Freed is concerned. MacKay, the oldest mem ber of the U.S. Davis Cup team at 25, played his usual over-powering but erratic game Thursday, but when he needed to win he came up with his best to beat Aus tralia's Rod Laver, 1-6, 5-7, 14- Vi, H-4, 7-5, and reach the final of the New South Wales tennis championships. Southpaw Neale Frascr, also of Australia and general ly regarded as the worlds No. 1 amateur player, routed fellow Aussie Bob Hewitt, 6-3, 6-3, 9-11, 11-9, to qualify as MacKay's rival in the singles final Saturday. Black er Brown QoAkvCok and SteuuvU The Corner Shoe Store Main nd Central Medford not of proper design. An glers who intend boating this taction thould take care lett they become a sta tistic in the boating acci dent reports. POND READY The Medco pond, site of our first streamside rearing pond, has been drained and will be completely treated with rote none by tomorrow. A contract has been let to Salem Sand and Gravel to the tune of $18,000 for construction of the outlet facilities. The brood stock will be spawned some time next March and then we will be in the business of rais ing summer steelhead for the Rogue. The beginning of the road back to better fishing for this fish is in the making. Hooray! ILLEGAL PLANT A 13-inch German brown trout hat been caught be low Helltgate, confirming a rumor that tome of theie fish have been illegally planted by p e r t o nt un known. There have been in dividual! in Grantt Patt who have advocated that the game commission should plant these fish to augment the summer fish ery in that portion of the liver. It lookt as though someone, or more, decided that he know more than the biologists, and took the matter into hit own hands. The effort it largely wast ed, because thit fith will not take hold in water that it warm or where tcouring floodt occur. Even to, there will be some who will be lieve that one fith means a fishery. THE ANGLER'S LOG The latest word from the man who knows has to do with the latest theory as to why salmon take cluster eggs in fresh water. It seems that this is suspected to be an estrogenic reaction that moves the salmon to activity. (What the man means is that the bait is too sexy for the salmon to resist.) Although this might make it seem al most unfair to use this me thod, it is very effective for those who fish for salmon in a river. Rogue River T h e Rogue has been rather poor during the past week, but there could be a change any time. Three more week ends and then the upper deadline for those who wish to catch an Ironhcad will be Hellsgate canyon. The prognosis is good; and this rain may be the means where by it comes true. Klamath River The Klam ath river keeps turning back fishermen with limits. This will continue, especially for those who can keep a supply of monster bait, night- crawlers. Smith River Reports are coming in of many, many sal mon and some steelhead. An glers are catching both, with conflicting stories as to how many and how easily. It sounds as though our favorite winter river is getting a good start again. At least the ffirics are bigl THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The game committion it getting set up to make a study of the effect of otter on steelhead. The plan it to capture tome otter thit win ter and create a situation where it can be determined whether or not otter can be contidered a teriout pre dator of ileelhead. One thing about it, they can't be worse than steelhead fithermen, even if they don't buy a license. GOOD LUCK1 $1695 A Basketball, Wrestling Drill Underway at MHS With football about over as king of sports at Medford high, the two winter crowd drawers, basketball and wrestling have swung into the preliminary stages. On Nov. 2, both squads started to work. Head wrestling coach Art Keith, reported the turn out as "pretty good." Now, with about two weeks remaining before the first match, there are 35 boys working out and getting in shape. With the end of the football season, some 15 more are expected to be out to ready for the season opener against Crater, here, Dec. 2.
