A Lesson in

A football lam was played In

Malln Mustangs.
The feature of the same, from
this writer's vantage point, was not

The feature was a behiud-the-acenes

Pre game

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

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.

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

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

department but not without a hard,

Hornets, 35-2. while the Yanks were

are tied with the Pittsburgh Steel
ers for second place two games back
of the Eagles. The Rams, who play
their final three games at home, do
not meet their chief rivals, the Chi
cago Bears, who are two games in
arrears.
The Oiants were stunned by their
tenants, the New York Bulldogs,
31-24. Pittsburgh also bowed, 27
14, to the fourth place Washington
Redskins. The Bears stopped Green
Bay, 24-3. In the other National
league game the Chicago Cardinals
humiliated the Detroit Lions. 42-19.
San Franclso's 49ers kept their hat
