2 B MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1960 ST. GARY'S STATE B GRIDIRON CMP Crusaders Overcome Siletz 130 Newport - St. Mary's rules alone. A "swan song" In Oregon Class B high school football ended on joyful,' melodious note here Saturday night. The Crusaders of the Medford pa rochial school, who "wanted it real bad," claimed the state gridiron diadem in the class by whipping Siletz 13 to 0 in a game which brought down the 1960 curtain on prep con tcntion in the sport. The Medford aggregation, only defending titlist in Ore gon finals in three divisions was co-champ In B with Yon- calla in 19S9. This new crown is all its own. And, it is the second in 1900 for the school St. Mary's was titlist in track last spring for the second suc cessive year. It will be an A-2 school next fall. The Crusaders were a pony team. Time and again through the season they faced bigger foes. But, they were strong in heart and spirit, quick and tough as steel - a determined hard-blocking, tackling crew They proved it again against the also small-sized Warriors Saturday. Decisive Win Siletz made Its threats from time to time. For the Med fords there were some anxious moments In the game. Still, victory was a decisive one. Two long punt returns, 62 and 28 yards, by Alex Mete he had some fine blocking for them, on the first especially set up the evening's only scores In the first half of the scramble on the muddy, squlshy, sloshy field. St. Mary's touchdowns were by Dick Evans on a two-yard blast and by Paul Elliott on a 15-yard pass. from Evans. Jim Calhoun booted the bonus counter after the first TD. His second kick was wide. The Warriors' severest bids were through the air. Nell Borden hit receivers on seven passes for 102 yards. Yet, aggressive, pressuring defense led by Aundre Knutson, Marv McGce, Bryan Von Buskirk and Joe Kaiser, offset these gains by spilling the Siletz backs frequently for losses. The Warriors, who had one ground run of eight yards and no others more than four, were set back for a net of minus 17 rushing yardage. Mete Runs to Three Things looked a bit grim for the Medford team when on two of the Crusaders' first four scrimmage plays the ball was lost on interception of Evans' passes by Bobby Fish er and Borden. But Silclz could get no farther up field than Its own 35-yard line. Jim Powe's punt after the second series of Warrior downs was caught by Knut son on the St. Mary's 35. He reversed to Mete and the Cru saders set up their picket wall. Mete made It all the way to the Siletz three. Evans smack ed for a yard and goaled on the succeeding play. Siletz penetrated Its deep est to the SM 19-yard line with first down there In clos ing moments of quarter No 1. Borden passes of 20 yards to Fisher and 19 to Jim Powe were instrumental. Then Dick Evans stopped Jim Sweet at the line of scrimmage. Borden, trying to throw, was swarm ed for a four-yard loss with MEDFORDkIJKTRIBUNB SFODiHnrs Rousing Welcome Greets 3 Champions on Return; Cars Meet Team at CP "What can you say about a reception like that," beamed Bill McKibbin, obviously pleased coach of the St. Mary's High school Crusaders. Bill was speaking of the gala horn-tooting reception re ceived by the St. Mary's foot ball squad when the state Class B champions returned to Medford yesterday evening. A group of 45 carloads of students, parents and well wishers assembled on the highway at Central Point to escort the team to Medford Through the cooperation of the Central Point and Med ford city police, the group formed an unbroken line while traveling from Central Point to the St. Mary's gym where the informal reception was held for the team and coaches. It was a bigger wel come home than three Med ford high state championship teams received last school year. 'We were totally unprepar ed for a reception like that," declared McKibbin. "The boys wanted it real bad - they wanted to end on top," said the coach concern ing the titular game. A lot of people think a tie is won derful, but there's nothing like a win. Praise Heaped "We were proud ol them, remarked McKibbin about his team. "Their defense certainly held up." The modest head mentor, who now has tutored four state champion aggregations St. Mary s high, heaped praise on a lot of heads for the success of the unbeaten, untied Crusaders through the fall "The offensive and delcn- last week. sive lines were the difference all year," McKibbin asserted "We had anticipated a fine backfield and it did its job well, too, of course. But, the outstanding play of the line was the thing all through. Assistant Coaches George Koch and Dick Paup did an "outstanding" job, McKibbin pointed out. "I don t know what we would have .lone without Managers Doug Va- koc and Pat Thompson tnd student Trainer Jim Dupray, who did the taping for us all year, he said. "I think we would have been lost without them." McGee Plays The coach pointed to the de fensive work of Marv McGee, Aundre Knutson, Bryan Von Buskirk and Joe Kaiser in the title game. McGee, a sopho more regular, suffered a back injury in practice last week and it appeared he might not see duty in the fray. But, with heat treatments, he recuperat ed quickly and was not both ered by the ailment during the Warrior fracas. Particular mention went to Mike Stinson, 150-pound soph omore center. T here1 were some misgivings before the season started but the pivot man was outstanding all through the campaign. He started and finished just about every game and did not make bad center snap all year. Pat Stinson, 150pound junior tackle, and Jerry Vakoc, guard, "another fine sopho more, also were cited as was Paul Elliott, junior, for his play at end. McKibbin a le o expressed the thanks of the team for the dinner John North gave the squad at his Chuck Wagon Bill Smith making main con tact. Eddie Sondenaa got back three yards. On fourth down, on the first play of the sec ond quarter, Borden's pass to Fisher was short and tnc cru saders took possession on their 20. SM Drivel 65-Yerd Longest drive by either team during the night fol lowed. St. Mary's marched 65 yards to the Warrior 15 In 14 plays. Except for a 14-yard Evans run and passing plays, Calhoun to Dan Jacobson for 10 and to Evans for four, the yards were just ground out. Mete, Fred Lucas and Evans took turns packing with Lu cas and Evans toting five times each. The 10-yard pass gave SM first down on the 17. Evans made a pair of one-yard gains and a Calhoun to Evans pass failed. St. Mary's then spread its formation five men left, three men right, Mike Stinson over the ball and Calhoun deep behind him. Siletz called time out to discuss defensive strategy. Lucas on a screen pass on the spread lost two yards. Siletz got the ball. Three plays got but seven yards and Powe punted to Knutson on the Crusader 48. Knutson reversed again to eMMMnm TRU-R CONOR six IS HEATED to give you Perfect Concrete the Year Around! Mete who splattered to the Warrior 24. Evans sliced to the 20 and Lucas to the 16. Alter Evans made it to the 12 he boomed to the two. The halfback dove to the half-foot spot but SM was called for holding and penalized to the 17. Mete got to the 15 on a reverse.' Then a pilch-pass play, Calhoun to Evans to Elliott In the end zone, worked for the score. This scoring effort was a bat tle against the clock. T h e touchdown came with just 15 seconds remaining In the half. Crusader backs were to the wall a bit in the third quar ter. Their offense met stiff resistance from the Warriors, a stout defensive team through the season, and It ap peared that the reputed strong attack of the Siletz team might, at last, get underway. But SM defenders arose to the task and third quarter play balanced even. Each team threatened to go all the way In the fourth pe riod. Silclz got the ball on its 15 on the last play of the third session on Fisher's Intercep tion of an Evans pass. How ever, Terry Castles' throw for the Warriors was stolen by Fred Lucas and St. Mary's had the ball on the Warrior .16. In a turn about of breaks, Danny Bilatos fell on a Cal houn muff on the same yard line and Siletz had the ball again. Borden, trying to heave, was dumped back on the 27. But, he hit Powe for 12 yards and Sondenaa for 28 and the ball was on the Crusader 33. Another pass by Borden was snared by SM's Smith and the Medford team had possession on Its 21. Lucas carried for eight Forty Niner Club Stuns Baltimore Baltimore, Md. - (UPIl - The San Francisco Forty Niners came up with a new face and a "new look" Sunday-and the combination resulted in stunning 30-22 upset of the Baltimore Colts, who were galloping toward their third straight National Football league championship. The new face was a rookie named Robert (Muddy) Wa ters, who had never seen ac tion at quarterback in a pro fessional game. He was rush ed in by Coach Red Hickey in the final minutes, with the world champion Colts lead ing, 22-20. Starting quarterback John Brodie, groggy and bleeding from the mouth, and veteran Y. A. Tittle, suffering from a painful groin injury, could only watch from the sidelines. They admitted they couldn't have done better themselves. Waters took over the team on the Forty Niners' 39-yard lone and fired 20 yards to Clyde Coner on the first play. On the second, he tossed to Dee Mackey on the 24 and the rookie end latcraled to R. C. Owens, who went in for a touchdown with one minute and 38 seconds remaining. The Forty Niners Intercept ed a pass by Johnny Unitas after the kickoff, and Tommy uavis booted a field goal with 22 seconds remaining to cinch the victory. San Francisco's "new look" was an offense that combined the double-wing, short punt formation with a regular "T." On the double-wing, the quar terback stood alone about seven feet behind the center and received a direct pass. However, he had to depend on the line for protection, as tnc three backs and two ends were split. The attack proved to be successful - although it resulted in several long losses. The Forty Niners defense picked off five passes by Bal timore's quarterback, Unitas.' Dave Baker intercepted two and Jerry Mertens, Abe Woodson and Gordon Kelley each snagged one. Eagles Bounce Giant Eleven Second Time yards and Evans for 10. Then ' Pentium 35 so Mete took a pitch around end for 13 yards to the Warrior 48. Lucas made a yard, Cal houn kept for five and Knut son ran for five and four to the 32. Illegal use of hands was called and the penalty was stretched back to the 48. Evans ran around right end 17 yards to the 31 and made two more to the 29. Backfield in motion was flagged and the penally stepped off to the 35. An Evans pass to Mete failed. On a fourth down spread pass play, Knutson was all alone . In the open but, turning, lost sight of the pig skin and Evans pitch fell in complete. Victory carried St. Mary's through the quarterfinal, sem ifinal and finale playoff frays without a touchdown scored against it. The District 5B champions trimmed Wasco County of Maupin 20 to 0 and Umatilla 6 to 0 in the elimi nations before facing Siletz. It was the 11th triumph against no losses for the Cru saders this year. For the War riors, it was the first setback in 10 games. The District 2 banner bearers bounced Knap pa and Harrisburg to gain the final round. St. Mary's is unbeaten in two years of play against Oregon competition. Its only loss in 1959 was to Yreka, Calif. It tied Yoncalla in last season's championship game. Saturday night on the neu tral Newport High school field was clear but cold for football. The field was water logged, however, from a week of heavy rains. SM su.

ADDRESS CITY STATE PHONE HOURS I WORK from: to: ..By JOE SAHGIS United Press International OK now, so what can thirl Philadelphia Eagles do for an encore? For the second straight time Sunday they beat the defend ing Eastern division champion Giants (31-23) with New York's most potent weapon defense - plus Norm Van Brocklin, and now they need only one victory in three re maining games to get a whack at the N a 1 1 on al Football league title for the first time in 11 years. The Eagles get that chance to nail down the Eastern divi sion title next Sunday when they play the St. Louis Cardi nals on the road. And if they miss, then they have added opportunities against the Pitts burgh Steelers and Washing ton Redskins. Not so, though, in the Wcsl ern division where the defend ing champion Baltimore Colts are acting as if they don't Want the title and the Chicago Bears as if nothing would please them more. Given a break on Thursday when the Green Bay Packers were upset by the Detroit Lions, the Colts could have helped themselves mightily Sunday, but the San Francisco Forty Niners outdazzled the champs with an unorthodox passing game for a 30-22 upset victory, while the Bears mov ed to within a half-game of the Colts by beating the still Franchise Forfeited Louisville, Ky. JPD Pacific Coast league president Dewey Soriano said the league may operate a franchise in Hono lulu next season following the forfeiture of the Sacramento franchise Sunday night by an affirmative vote of seven members. Soriano said the forfeiture decision was made after Wil liam Golsong, president of the Sacramento Solons, failed to show up at the minor league meetings here to confer with PCL officials. Golsong had notified the league Nov. 15 that he did not intend to operate the club any longer, but, league offi cials asked him to reconsider his decision. wlnless (now 10-in-a-row) Dal las Cowboys, 17-7. The Cards, who seem to im prove each week, rallied to tie the Cleveland Browns, 17 17, at St. Louis and the Pitts burgh Steelers proved poor nosts in handing the Washing ton Redskins a 22-10 beating in otner Ntu games. In the American Football league, the Los Angeles Charg ers parlayed the passing of young Jack Kemp and the running of Paul Lowe into a 52-28 victory over the Oak land Raiders to all but sew up me leagues western division race, and the Denver Broncos rallied for 24 points in the fi nal period to gain a 38-38 tie with the Buffalo Bills. A week ago after the Eagles had beaten the Giants in New York with the defensive pla toon playing a major role, skeptics said, "OK, show me" they can do it again." Giants Take Lead well, it took uie Eagles a while to get rolling the second time with a partisan crowd of 60,457 looking on in Franklin Field, Philadelphia, for the Giants roared to a quick 17-0 lead. With "gambler" Van Brock lin leading the offense after Dan Burroughs, Bob Freeman and Maxic Vaughn had picked off four interceptions on Giant quarterback George Shaw, the Eagles finally grabbed a 24-23 lead in the fourth period and then added the touchdown that put the game out of reach following recovery of a Giant fumble by Jim Carr. The Browns held a 17-7 halftime lead, but the Cards kept coming back, closing the gap to 17-10 in the third pe riod on a 23-yard field goal by Gerry Perry, and gaining the tying TD in the final period when John Roach connected on a 12-yard toss to Sonny Randall. The Colls, now 6-3, simply couldn't cope with San Fran cisco's passing game in which at times the Forty Niners had as many as five pass receivers ganged up in one spot. With Bobby Waters doing the pitch ing, the Forty Niners moved into position for""three TD's and three field goals by Tom my Davis. The clinching score came on a 41-yard pass-lateral play involving Waters, end Dee Mackey and halfback R. C. Owens with a Utile more than a minute left to play.
