Phoenix, North Catholic Vie for A-2 Grid Toga
Title Tilt
Saturday
At Ashland
ASHLAND Championship
."Dotball.
That will be the bill-of-fare
-,ere Saturday. And, Oregon's
Class A-2 diadem will be the
prize. Two' terrific aggregations
will battle for the honor as the
curtain comes down with a
nourish on the state's' prep
Tidiron season.
The Phoenix High School Pl
ates and the Royals of North
;atholic will be the foes. Kick
off time is planned for 1:30 p.m.
on Southern' Oregon College's
Tuller Field.
"One of the finest high school
ames in the state this year"
is the forecast of a qualified
observer who well-knows the
Phoenix personnel and who has
seen the Royals in action sev
eral times. "Fans," he said,
"will see two fine football clubs
that will give them 48 minutes
of Class A ball."
Struggle of Unbeaten!
This will be a struggle of
mbeatens. The Pirates and the
Portlanders each have subdued
11 adversaries' since their cam
paigns opened in September.
They, also, are untied.
Phoenix, the Rogue League
powerhouse, scored upon only
once this fall, bears the role of
favorite. But, it is anticipated
that the Buccaneers, ranked No.
1 in all the polls, will engage
the toughest foe they've met this
fall, and will have to be at their
best if they are to claim the
mantle for their class.
, The Royals rumbled through
the Cowapa circuit. They have
prevailed over Northern Oregon
and coastal opposition and were
' No. 2 and No. 3 in the final
ratings. -
Fine Quarterbacks
Both clubs are explosive. If
they are given firm footing on
the collegiate sod, a spectacu
lar contest could result. They
are generalcd by fine quarter
backs in Ron Williams for the
Buccaneers and Ed Gorman for
Ihe Royals.
Gorman, a 6-3, 190-pounder,
.directs North Catholic slot T
. offensive operation. He's de
scribed as being "as fine a
quarterback as you'll find in
the state." He likes to run and
can throw, too. Gorman docs a
fine job on the option and can
block well. He's thrown at least
one touchdown pass that travel-
. ed in the air for 55 yards.
Mike Hryciw is a fine runner
with good balance, who can also
block with proficiency. Jim
Keever at the slot back and

MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1963
STRENGTH IN RESERVE When Phoenix and North Catholic
Highs contend on Saturday afternoon at Ashland both teams
can be expected to pull out all stops for it will be the Oregon
Class A-2 football championship game. The Phoenix Pirate
"formation," above, exemplifies this all out effort. "Receiv
ers" shown are, from left, Rick Dorman, halfback; Ramon
Mata, center, Ed Mitchell, guard; Eugene Hill, end, and Ken
Joe Kniser at fullback are adept
at their positions. Keever and
End Mike Jarrell are targets
for Gorman passes. Another re
ceiver can be End John Amato.
Big Engineering Job
For Phoenix Williams has
blazed his ability to pack and
pass. He has a big job in en
gineering Coach Jack Wood
ward's multiple offense which
utilizes both single wing and T
formations. Much said about
Gorman can be repeated about
Williams. The 175-poundcr is ef
fective as a blocker and he's a
strong defensive player for the
club which carries the standard
of Southern, Central and Eastern
Oregon.
Left Half Jim Consbruck is
the main breakaway threat of
the Pirates. And Fullback Jon
Granby, Right Half Dennis
Grennan and all-round back are
proven performers in carrying

always smoother because it's slow-distilled
the ball or in providing the
blocking for the runner. Granby
matches Gorman's 190 pounds.
Reserve Quarterback Mike
Hawkins, a speedster, is an
other running and passing
threat and a target for throws
by Williams. Others who may
be on the catching end of aerials
are Granby, Consbruck, Sauer,
Gary Smith and Hili..
Line Cogs
Line cogs in making the Pi
rates a powerful machine in
clude Greg Esp, Ron Patterson,
Gary McGarity, Dave Westfall,
Ken Tycksen, Paul Diederich,
Smith and Hill. McGarity is the
heftiest at 190 pounds.
Tackles Dennis Schafer at 210
to 215 pounds and Bill Klein at
205 team to help give North
Catholic a weight average edge
in the line. Center Ron Molony
of Coach Joseph Gillis's Royals
has drawn attention in particu
lar because of his blocking on
a club which has good speed.
Other line regulars for the Port
landers are Guards Tim Akin
and Ed 'Kaiel.
Phoenix's high scoring total
and its tremendous defensive
record are factors placing it in
the favored role. However there
is no measure to compare the
caliber of competition that the
two finalists have met.
The Pirates have tabulated
384 points this fall. North Catho
lic has compiled an impressive
total of 333. Blanking 10 oppon
ents, Phoenix has permitted
just six points by a rival. The
Royals have given up just 39
markers also indicative of tough
defense. No team has scored
more than one touchdown
against the Royals. North has
zeroed five foes.
Close Margins
Of the Phoenix rivals, only
two, St. Mary's and Sena, have
limited the Pirates to less than
four touchdowns. Phoenix scored
three each in those games.
While North has run up at
least five touchdowns in seven
of its games, it has had several
closer margins than the Pirates
27-7 against Seaside, 13-7
against Hood River, 13-0 against
Rainier and 7-6 against Sius
law and could be tougher for
them.
The Royals reportedly dom
inated the Siuslaw tussle more
than indicated by the score.
Both of the clubs, however, were
termed "champions" for the
way they stayed in the "miser
able mud" last week at Flor
ence. Shocked Grid Followers
Phoenix gained Saturday's fin
ale by sweeping through a seven
game Rogue season, then trim
ming Douglas 38-0 and Vale 26-
0 in quarter and semifinals. The
ale success was a shocker to
some grid followers in the state.
Vale just hasn't been handled
that way on its home field in
many seasons.
North Catholic defeated nine
aggregations in the Cowapa
loop, then downed Willamina
334) and Siuslaw in the play
offs. Phoenix is in the A-2 final
for the second time in three
years. It was co-champ with
Myrtle Point in 1961.
It's all Eencra! admission to
the titular contest with the
price $1.50 per adult. The cost
will be 50 cents for each student.
There has been no advance sale
of tickets.
A weather bureau report this
morning indicated "pretty fair
chance of good weather" for to
morrow's contest.
Officials for the game report
edly will be Virgil Swanson,
Bill Esselstyn and Barney
Kigg.1, all of Mcdford.

Hawkins, quarterback. In the center stack, top to bottom,
are Lex Hamilton, tailback; Dick Unruh, linebacker, and
.Charlie Roberts, tackle. Coach Jack Woodward of the Pirates
declared that, although none of the players shown is a
starter, all have put in a lot of playing time and have estab
lished a reputation for dependability. Phoenix depth has con
tributed much to its success.

of Chicago, is favored at 3-1 to
smack Brooklyn's Johnny Persol
with his first professional defeat

tute Persol more time to train.
Last week Thomas was fav
ored at ilk to 1 after 22-year-old
Persol had accepted the 10

turned on Lindsey, tore his shirt
from him, and were battering
him around the ring. Match
maker Elton Owen jumped uto
the ring but was unable to i
handle the situation.
Wrestlers Nick Kozak and
Irish Paddy Barrett, who had
been opponents in a match a
short time earlier, also rushed
in to help and Gorky and Duffy
were finally subdued. Police had
to escort them from the ring
through an angry crowd, which
