t a im Pridav night that I
' think will be the 1948 state football
champion.
I'm speaking, of course, of the
. 1 Grande Tigers, conquerors of tht
Pels by a Jl-0 count.
Before going further, my predic
tion U this. The Twer will win
over Marthfleld handily in the
aeml-flnals and Grant will beat
HllUboro. I pick I Grande over
Grant In the Multnomah finals.
Traveling the length of the state
to see the Pelicans lake a lop-sided
blanking wasn't
fun. But watch
ing La Grande'
Wayne Berry
run made up for
It.
- Berry la the
best running
back I've seen
ail year. I dont
say the best all-
' around back but
In the scooting
department.
I havent seen
his equal.
That takes In
Medford's Jack Morris, Ashland's
Jerry Laager, Grants Pass" Vera
Craft, our own Gene Carlson or
any of them.
It seems that the Tigers had
walked ever opponents hi eight
straight wine with inch esae that
not even La Grande ssjpperters
knew the ealibre ef the Tiger tease.
, Tiger fans were as amaaed as
these watching the fortunes ef the
reUeaaa.
It's true that the Pels had ter
rific slump. As Bob Hendershott
put It during post mortems on the
game In the hotel lobby, "Our boys
were doing everything wrong and
La Grande everything right."
Amazingly enough, the Pelicans
topped the La Grande passing at
tack (with the exception of one
, touchdown aerial) but Berry,
Charles Brackett and Bill West were
: slashing the strong Pelican line to
shreds and skirting ends with ap
parent ease.
Berry was the kind of athlete who
comes along onoe in a decade to
spark a high school team. He's
completely relaxed when he runs
but drives with force.
Even after being tackled his
three er four yards. His defensive
Work was alse eotstanding.
The Pelicans, after a slow start
this am inn, started sat wpswa
against Medford. reaches the peek
Grants Pass, and tbea
te bit the downhill trend.
They hit low against La Grande,
I couldn't believe that the Red-
suid-White team I saw Friday night
Iras the same team that fooled the
experts by clouting through to
district title.
Gene Carlson made the mistake
of taking the opening kickoff be
hind the goal line instead of letting
it go. He ran it to the seven and
three plays later fumbled to set up
the first Tiger score.
La Grande took full advantage of
this break and the Pelicans could
never seem to get in gear again.
If there was any stickout back for
the Pelicans at all It was Joe Nichols
but he had no support. Joe reeled
of tone run of 35 yards and only
a shoestring effort by Quarterback
Trans Haun kept Joe from going
ail the way.
The rest Friday night reminded
BenderihoU ef 1D48 when the Pel
icans tiaieled to Eugene and were
whitewashed, M-8.
. I see ae trouble for the Tigers
gainst ManhfMd and If they can
stay high and stop George Shawl
.. aerials, I see a La Grande victory
ver the Generals.
The ground attack of the Gen
erals (at least against the Pelicans
in the opening game here) doesn't
compare with the workmanship of
. the Tiger backs.
Frans Haun is a clever play-caller
and was mixing plays against
, Klamath like an expert.

Mustangs Mix With Union
Thursday on Modoc Field
Malln's Mustangs churned to a 24-0 football victory over the More
Huskies on Modoc field Saturday afternoon and slid into the semi
finals of the state class B gridiron playoff ready to meet the Union
Bobcats Thanksgiving Day on Modoc field.
Saturdays victory was comparatively easy. Moro't ball carriers
never got a real attack launched against the stout Malin line.
The Mustangs set something of a
local record for holding onto tne
following the Initial kickoff.
Driving on the ground from their
own 21. the Maun crew had pos
session of the ball steadily for seven
minutes and JS seconds up until the
tune Ted DeMerritt spun over left
guard for the first touchdown.
The payoff play was five yards.
DeMerritt plunged for the con
version, first of four he msde that
wsy.
In the second period DeMerritt
again broke away, this time over
his right guard at the Moro ST. He
sloped off to the left and outran
the Husky defenders into the end
aone.
WALKED THROUGH
For that conversion he merely had
to walk through over right guard,
the hole opened up by Guard
Charles Dobry and Tackle Dick
Hawkins was that expansive.
During the first half Mora's Wily
Knighten and Norval Lane were
held in their own territory exclus
ively and were forced to punt out
twice. The third time Moro had
possession In the half the Huskies
lost on a fumble.
In the third period Moro drove 52
yards down to the Malin 20, before
losing the ball on downs. A pass
from Knighten to Fred Von Bostel
accounted for 20 yards of the drive
and Knighten picked up the rest on
the ground.
But the Mustangs did a little bet
ter. They drove from their 20 all
the way in 10 plays. A pass from
DeMerritt to Dick Draxil put the
ball on the Moro 3 and Jerry Smal
ler skipped around left end to score.
DRIVE DEEP
Taking the next kickoff, Moro
drove from their 30 down to the
Malin 13, their deepest penetration
of the game, and. lost the ball on
downs again.
A few minutes later Malin gained
some 20 yards on an exchange of
punts and took possession on the
Moro 45. Smalley picked up tire
ytrds and DeMerritt bulled and
hurdled through to the 2 on a run
that was nulified by a penalty.
But on the next play Ottoman rifled
a 40-yard pass to Micka back to the
Moro 2 and Leu Weber skirted end
to score.
Statistics heavily favored the
Mustangs 34 total yards to 1S3 and
IS first downs to 8. The Mustangs
completed five of eight passes for
107 yards, and had M yards taken
away on penalties. Moro lost five
that way.
About 2000 persons almost solidly
Malin rooters saw the game.

Scorers
NEW YORK. Nov. 21 1 BUI
Young, who sparked the Hillsdale
(Mich.) team to an unbeaten, un
tied season. Is the new leader of the
country's college grid scorers.
Perseverance paid oft for the
hard-hitting halfback. After weeks
of attempting to overhaul the pace
making Brad Rowland, halfback for
McMurry college of Abilene. Tex.
Young caught tire Saturday In
Hillsdale's 48-0 rout of Indiana
State.
The mldwesterner scored 24
points, three touchdowns and six
conversions. That made his season
total 121 for nine games, scored via
18 touchdowns and 35 conversions.
Meanwhile. Rowland went score
less for a second straight week and
finished the 1949 campaign with 108
points on 18 touchdowns In 10
gsmea. Two weeks ago Brad held a
20-point lead over Young. One
weeks ago, his margin was 1L
Now, with the shouting and shov
ing over for both players, Rowland
trails the Hillsdale hearty by 13.
While Young la resting on his
laurels, there's a chance that
George Thomas, the Big Seven
leader from Oklahoma, might
spurt to the top come Saturday. The
Sooner wind up their regular sea
son against. Oklahoma A&M that
day and if Thomas can match his
18-polnt performance of the past
week-end, he'll pass Young. The
Big Seven ace has 105 points now.
That total gave Thomas a new
scoring record tor the conference,
eclipsing the 97 made in 1942 by
Missouri's Bob Steuber.

Othtr Bowl Foes
Still Uncertain
As Sponsors Shop
By WILL GRIM8LET
NEW YdRK. Nov. 31 lPV Cali
fornia and Ohio State are expected
to be tapped formally today fur the
Rose Bowl but sponsors of the
other big post-season football shows
still are shopping around.
Pickings are mighty slim for the
Sugar. Cotton and Orange ex
iravagansas, which, like the Pasa
dena game, will be showved up to
January 2 to avoid conflict with
the Sabbath.
From long range, the major bowls
appear to suck up approximately
this way (records In parenthesis':
Rose Bowl California 10-0) vs.
Ohio State (8-1-3).
Sugar Bowl Oklahoma (t-0) vs.
Tulane (7-1-1).
Cotton Bowl Rice (8-1) or Bay
lor (8-1) vs. VlUanova (8-1).
Orange Bowl The Rice-Baylor
leftover vs. Maryland (8-1) or Ten
nessee (8-2-11.
Others in the picture are Virginia
(8-1), Santa Clara (8-2-1) and
Kentucky (8-2). Some of these
teams must dispose of formidable
rivals this week to keep their hopes
throbbing.
Officials of both the Pacific
coast and western conferences said
they would announce the Rose
Bowl representatives today.
BEARS CINCH
Lynn Waldorf's California Bears,
who closed out their second straight
perfect season with a 33-14 victory
over Stanford, Saturday are a cinch
for the host role, but the Identity of
their opponent Is a bit less certain.
Ohio Bute finished In a tie for
the Big Ten championship by play
ing defending tltllst Michigan, a
bowl ineligible, to a 1-1 tie Satur
day. Conference faculty members, who
pick the represents tire by vote, are
not bound to choose the leader and
could, on a whim, give the nod to
twice-beaten Minnesota.
The Gophers, who closed their
year with a 14-8 triumph over Wis
consin, trounced Ohio Bute earlier,
27-0.
The Sugar Bowl oommlttee Is
scheduled to meet tonight In New
Orleans and a- member promised,
"we may have something definite."
FAVORS SOONERS

Rose Bowl-Bound
Than 1948 Team
Bears Rated Stronger
That Lost to Wildcats
By BUSS NZWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21 ()
Coast conference football saluted
California as its champion and Rose
Bowl representative today.
Jubilant California supporters,
meanwhile, continued to celebrate
the Bears 33-14 victory Saturday
over Stanford, the game that put
them into the country's post season
classic at Pasadena for the second
time in succession.
The formal notification from the
conference commissioner's office
was expected momentarily. Califor
nia earned the bid by seven league
wins and neither defeat nor tie.
This California squad Is regarded
as stronger than last year's which
Inst to Northwestern. 20-14, in the
Rose Bowl. Its line charges ha.der
and the backfleld Is more explosive.
The team has the material to come
up with the long gainers necessary
to break up a contest.
It was the consensus out this wsy
today that Ohio State, expected to
represent the Big Ten as the other
half of the Rose Bowl clash Janu
ary 2, would have to show more
than it did last Saturday. The
Buckeyes tied Michigan 7-7. Earlier
In the season Ohio State played a
13-13 deadlock with Southern Cali
fornia, the latter subsequently beat
en by California 18-10.
Since it won from USC, however,
California has shown increasing Im
provement. It may be one of the
hardest hitting teams in the coun
try today. Nineteen seniors will be
lost from the squad. They Include
such four-year men aa Rod Franz,
All-America guard, and Jim Turner,
giant tackle.
Genial Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf
was being boomed today for "coach
of the year" honors out here. The
bulky mentor achieved his greatest
triumph with a club that many
thought would finish no better than
fourth this season.
While California was Clinching
the. Rose Bowl invitation, the con
ference schedule was being conclud
ed on other fronts also.
Washington, after earlier defeats
and disappointments, finished up In
fine fashion with t 34-21 victory
over Washington State. Washing
ton overcame a seven-point lead by
scoring two touchdowns In the
opening quarter; built up a 27-7
margin In the third quarter and
held off the fighting WSO Cougars
to the end.
Oregon State, another slow start
er, recked up a successful season
for New Coach Kip Taylor by de
feating favored Oregon, 20-10.
Oregon scored a field goal to lead
3-0 at the half. Oregon State
surged back with powerful drives '
to score two touchdowns In the :
third quarter and another in the ;
fourth. Left Half Ken Carpenter, I
candidate for all coast laurels, was
the prime factor In the yard gain
Ing.
Pre season favorite Southern
California concluded an unsatisfac
tory conference schedule by detest
ing the University of California at
Los Angeles 21-7. The Trojans had
to come from behind but accom
plished the feat convincingly with
two touchdowns In the final quar
ter. The teams were tied 7-7 with
four minutes to go.
Southern California meets Notre
Dame at South Bend next Saturday.
Montana closed out its schedule
