PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. ORECON MONDAY. NOV. 7, 1949 i i 1 W Qa9 I GtoD J3 SlMSM Sa NsWS " A Lesson in Sportsmanship ... snd a UtUe child shall lesd them." A football lam was played In Merrill Saturday afternoon, (ratur lnc the Merrill Huskies and the Malln Mustangs. The feature of the same, from this writer's vantage point, was not Ted DeMerritt s spine-shattering , line plunges or the sharp passing et . tack flashed periodically by the Huskies. The feature was a behiud-the-acenes lesson in sportsmanship. The teachers were the youngsters battling between the chalk lines. The pupils were or should bea email group of Mustangs Wrap Up County Title in Merrill Win RED in'RD Merrill citizens. Pre game ballyhoo from this small min ority had It that the game would be a series of rhubarbs wlta football playing. mere sidelight. Let It be un derstood this group was small, very small. Dis appointed and smarting under the recent dis qualification of Lowell Snapp, ace backfield player for Merrill, this minority would have you believe that the Merrill grldders- were out to commit wholesale mayhem on the Mustangs. But here is the refreshing . eye opener . . . . The game was hard-fought, yes. but It was a clean battle. Any p re-game talk of fist-flying came not from the pigskin principals themselves, the purple-clad Merrill players. Small Group - But It came from this small group V-and again let me emphasize the yak-yak does not by any means represent the Merrill citizens as a whole who reacted to the disap- j ' pointment In a fair, sportsmanlike way. I After the first published editorial J explanation of Snapp a ousting, a reportedly stable and sane Merrill citizen warned your writer over the telephone to "stay out of town." The threat was garnished -with an "or else" inference. The Merrill player are to be commended. They fought hard for victory and there is no one who can blame them for wanting to prove that they, after all, are the best ' class "B" team in toe county. But they fought clean. Their , blocking and tackling was hard and 1 . lor keeps as was Malin's but there j were no "below the belt" tactics. i When statistics of the game were j . aired at half-time the stickout an- ! nouncement of figures was this: THERE WAS NOT ONE PENALTY LEVIED ON EITHER SIDE. I Leat hasty reading of this cause acme of the Merrill people to mis interpret, let me emphasise again that the before-rame threats came from a VEBY SMALL MINORITY wb let disappointment erase plain, Malin Edges Huskies 21-13 In Donnybrook Ted DeMerritt Sticks Out in Bruising Battle MERRILL, Nov. 7 With Big Ted DeMerritt in the saddle, the Malin Mustangs rode over the Merrill Huskies Saturday afternoon but not without a bruising struggle, Plirnl score: Malln 21. Merrill 13. Malln cinched the county title with the victory. Fullback DeMerritt figured In every Mustang point. Malin grld ders drew first blood midway in the second quarter. Twice a snarl ing Huskie team closed the gap by one point but could never quite catch up. After a see-saw first quarter. Malin got the first break of the game when Merle Haskins fumbled and Malin recovered on its own 23-yard line. Eleven plays later DeMerritt and End Dick Draxil teamed up to cul minate a 77-yard drive with a Jump-pass score. DeMerritt headed tor the line, stopped, leaped up and hit Drazil with a perfect strike. From a place-kick formation the same pass comoination made the extra point good. 88-YARD DRIVE The Huskies surged back after the kickoff with an 80-yard drive by land and air. Merle Haskins crashed over from the one-yard line or. the twelfth play of the drive. Quarterback Ellis Wilson failed on the extra point when he tried to sneak through from his hand-off position. Malin held a 7-6 lead at the half. Malin cashed In on another Huskie bobble for its second touch down In the third quarter. De Merritt kicked to O. B. Michaels, who received the ball from the safety position, fumbled, and Malin grabbed the bouncing pigskin on Merrills 20-yard line. A DeMerritt to Drazel pass clicked to the 11 yard marker, Len Weber lost one yard and on the third play DeMer ritt cracked over for a touchdown. Then DeMerritt passed to Norm Ottoman for the conversion counter, bringing the score to 14-8. Len Weber Intercepted one of Bince Sanders' aerials a few min utes later and It looked Uke Malln would widen the count when they drove to the Husky 14. But an Ottoman pass backfired and Mar vyn Johns gathered the ball in the end zone and scampered oat to Merrill's 43-yard line. Wilson, Rieger Ducks, Indians Spell Double Trouble for Pasadena-Bound Bears SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. tl Double trouble loomed today tor the undefeated California Bear in their drive toward the coast con ference football title and the Rose Dew I. Lynn Waldorf's Californians face Oregon this week-end and Stanford the following Saturday to close out the league schedule. The Bears only undefeated team in the league outscored Washing ton State, 33-14, in unimpressive frshion last week. The meeting with Oregon will be a tough one, lr spite of the Utters spotty record. Ore gon hasn't forgotten that California last year refused to consider a play off when the two teams tied for the conference title. In the voting tor the Rose Bowl representative, California was se lected. That still rankles Oregon. The WebfooU who lost 27-28 to Washington last week, will Invade the Bear lair pitched high. Stanford popped Into the confer ence championship picture with a loud bang. The Indiana finally put their potentially powerful game to gether ts pulverise the favored Southern California Trojans. 34-13. This Is the aanw I'SC team that front running California had such a difficult time defeating. 18-1. As a result of Stanford's sensa tional upset win. the conference title may be up for decision when the Indians tackle California In the The kids on th fieJH rinT-,1 Ant lesson in sportsmanship that will not soon beMorgotten. After all la said and done and the excitement and word-flying caused by Snapp'a ousting is over with, I think the unfortunate blow to Mar rill will serve to strengthen the league governing organization and the Oregon High School Activities association. A to the game Itself, Malln proved Its superiority in the talent department but not without a hard, close-fought battle. The players themselves by their football play and their conduct put an end to the unfortunate con troversy. Hornets Drub Troy, 33-12 ' The Henley Hornets cinched sec ond place in the county league Sat urday with a 33 to 12 victory over the Sacred Heart Trojans. Del Arant sparked the Hornets to victory with three touchdowns, runs of 40, 10 and 70 yards, the latter a punt return. Dean Wells scored one touchdown and a John Lento to Laurence Tolliver pass account ed for the other. It was the first touchdown chalked up by Tolliver In four years of competition. Mike Oroff, tackle, and Roger Dwyer, halfback scored for Sacred Heart. Left Halfh.rk nan M.h... was a constant treat to the Hornets. ' A mere phone call can get you that fire Insurance policy.
