Sweet Home Rival
f Crater Comets
CENTRAL POINT-"We can't
po anywhere bul up," Coach
Luke Fioranle of the Sweet
Home Huskies told a Willamette
valley newspaper recently.
That is still true as the
Class A-l Huskies prepare this
week to meet the Crater Com'
ets of Central Point in a noiv
league game. The game will be
at 8 p.m. at Sweet Home. While
the locall Comets were Beating
Lebanon last Friday, Sweet
Home took a 39 to 0 pasting
from defending stale A-2 cham
pion Central of Monmouth.
In a pie-season assessment,
Fiorante reported that the
Hu.-ky club "looks much im
proved over last season, but we
are si ill pretty thin with no
depth which seems to be a fa
miliar story."
In thin ranks there's a simi-
I. nily with Crater's Comets. The
Fireballs are no strangers to
Ihe problem.
II. is Heft
One tiling the Sweet Home
club does appear to have is
heft. The front line averages
around 194 pounds. And, the
backfield averages at 160 with
plrnty of speed available when
needed.
Lettermen are Jon Edwards,
quarterback; Ed Seiber and
Mike Cloy, fullbacks; Delmer
Johnson, "end; -Mike Easterly,
Gary Gill and Jack Burrell,
tackles; Lynn Jenkins, tackle
swiu hed from center: Dave
Horner and Jerry Whit e,
guards. Easterly, at 219, car
ries the top weight on the ball
club.
Other top candidates include
Kerry Hoffman, quarterback;
Slel Andrews, fullback; Ron
Kw.-in, Jack Myrick and Jim
Kolka. halfbacks: Dave Ander
son, tackle, and Steve Richards,
renter. Ewan is a transfer
from Estacada.
As the Crater Comets trim
med for the Willamette Valley
jaunl, amount of service from
quarterback Darryl Summer
field and fullback Vern Swan
son was uncertain. Summer
field got his ankle banged in
the Lebanon game last Friday
and hasn't been in pads this
week. Swanson suffered a
bruised rib cage against the
Warriors and rebumped those
ribs yesterday in drill.
Summerfield has been run
ning and working to put the
ankle in shape and the swelling
has gone down. It's a good pos
sibility that he can be used
sparingly. Still Roger Neufeld
has been running the offense
from quarterback and Coach
Keith Johnson figures he may
pull Ray White from the line
into Summerfield's linebacker
spot and send Don Gail or
Jack Peck into the line.
Charley Taylor has been
groomed a fullback in case
Swanson's doctor rules against
his play.

season opener against Utah at

PORTLAND, Ore. (UPD -Big
Jack Nicklaus, the young
Masters and PGA champion,
opened defense of his Portland
Open championship today in an
effort to catch Arnold Palmer in
the money-winning derby.
Finishing out of the money
for only the fourth time in his
career in the Seattle Open last
week, Nicklaus polished h i s
game on the practice tee and
fairways at Columbia - Edgewa
ter here and was the established
favorite.
Winning last year with a 19-under-par
269, including a two
stroke penalty for slow play,
Nicklaus estimated it would
take no more than a 272 this
year.

sustained a bone chip in his
hand. Coach Bill McKibbin re
ported that, while Batzer likely
will see some action, it is plan
ned to start the freshman signal
I caller.
Fullback Jef Randolph, like
Batzcr, has not been in pads
this week. He's had an infected
elbow. But, McKibbin feels he
should be ready for duty against
the Pirates.
This week's ailments have
been compensated for a bit by
the return of halfback Anthony
Mete. He missed the Glide en
gagement because of a foot
bruise.
Unit Work
McKibbin reported that there
have been some person n e 1
chances hut did not elahorate.
I He stated that the Crusaders
have been doing a lot of unit
work in practice and have add
ed to their passing game a lit
tle. The head coach said that the
Mcdford club is going to Glen
dale "cold" so far as knowledge
of the Pirates is concerned.
Glcndale absorbed a 33 to 13 de
feat at the hands of Rogue Riv
er while St. Mary's was tving
Glide 12 to 12. The game should
give St. Mary's some indication
of how it compares with Rogue
league foe Rogue River.
Probable starters for S.M on
offense are Dan Kosmatka, cen
ter; John Lucas and Steve Cook,
guards; Mike Hutchinson and
Randy Corliss, tackles, Dennis
Rose and Rob Roberts, ends;
Jensen, quarterback; Don Val
entine and Mete, halfbacks, and
Tim Sakraida, fullback.
For defense Dennis O'Hara is
to go in for Valentine, Ray Rich

Banger! Fire in the woods
is still a major threat
With the advent of warm fall weather, fire in
the woods is still a major hazard to the safety
and economic well-being of the Northwest.
Fortunately there have been no really serious
fires so far this year. Foresters say people have
been particularly careful while in the woods.
This is no time to let down.
September and October are often the months
of greatest danger. And this year conditions
are worse than ever.
Columbus Day windstorms left more than 11
billion board feet of blow-down on the forest
floor. Private industry and government agen
cies have been working hard for many months
to clean it up but most of it is still there.
It is ready to explode like a month-old
Christmas tree at the touch of the slightest
spark. Whole communities could be wiped out.
So just because the summer is over, don't
drop your guard. Wherever you go in the
woods this fall, please do your part to prevent
fire. Whenever possible, stay in established
camping areas. Please observe fire closures.
Build fires only in areas provided for them and
make sure they are out when you leave.
Fire prevention is everybody's job. If you
do your part, we can get through the year
without a disaster.
