SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 27, 1955 ' HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINB no n n Mm spz o n Mil o) o) Mustangs Top Siletz To Win Championship By CLAYTON HANNON There's going to be a hot time in the old town of Malin tonight, and for some time to come. Their Mustangs are the Oregon State Class B High School football cham pions for 1955. And the Mustangs left little doubt in the minds of the large crowd on hand yesterday afternoon at Malin High Field as to their power when they humbled the Siletz Warriors 28-12 for the B title. The triumph marked the close of an undefeated season for Coach Jim Conroy's gridders, who have now been re payed for their outstanding team work' and playing throughout the season. With a seven-man line that held like a slone wall and charged like a wild bull, and a pair of bacUs named Glenn Sieyskal and Melvin Paris, Malin spotted their visitors a touchdown in the opening min utes of the first quarter then bounced back to score in each period of play to roll up the first state title for the Mustangs, and the first In Klamath County since Henley's Hornets turned back North Powder 13-0 in 1946. Although playing without their itar tailback Ray Johnson, Malin showed no evidence of lacking an offensive threat, because Steyskal turned Into a one-man wrecking crew and Paris added his two-bits worth Just to make sure of the Malin victory. Johnson didn't play at all. Conroy sent the 170-pound senior Into the game during the last seconds, but before "Rambling Ray" was able to get a play under way, the final gun had sounded. But to the modest athletic stand out, he was a member of the 1955 State B Championship team. He may not have played, but after the game, it , was he , who was ' called on by his teammates to ' accept the Champs' trophy. That ' In itself was a tribute to "Ram bling Ray." ' GRAND SUM Steyskal, who was shifted from the fullback slot to tailback when Johnson was hurt, personally ac counted for all of the Malin points by scoring three touchdowns and one conversion, and passing for the other TD and try for point. Besides all of this.

Paris had 73 yards from rushing and Norm Oliva added three more to account for all of Malin's cham pionship yardage. But Steyskal's brilliant afternoon of running and passing -would not have been possible without the line play of ends Wes Drazil and Roger uoKKen, tackles Len Oobry and Allan Meyers, guards Grady Saun ders and Roy Ingram and center John Pierce, who comprised one of the finest B high school lines ever witnessed in this part of me state. Tnrough most of the afternoon. Malin linemen out num bered the Siletz back in the War rior's offensive backfield. Siletz wasted no time in showing the Malin followers they meant business in their bid for the class B bunting. Taking the opening kick off from their own 41. the War riors marched 59 yards in 11 plays for the first score, of the came. George Thompson, son of "Chief" Thompson, former Oregon State College football great, capped the downfield drive as he gathered in a '28 yarn pass from teammate Art Gregory for the touchdown. Thompson's try fdr point was no good and Sllets led 6-0. IMPRESSIVE The Mustangs then got their chance to lug the pigskin, and they too traveled with Impressive steps. Starting from their own 35, Ma lin marched 65 yards for the tally. A 47 yard pass-run play with Stey skal pitching and Dokken catching set up the Mustang touchdown as It moved the ball to the 12 yard line, steyskal then packed the mail the remaining distance and added the extra point on a plunge to give Malin a 7-6 lead, one they never rennquisnea. In the second quarter, a punt by Siletz' Thompson, rolled dead on the 50 yard line and Malin was off for their second TD. Stey- sxai ana fans took turns in mov ing the ball to the 15 yard line where, the Steyskal to Dokken com- oination clicked for six points. The extra point try failed to leave the Mustangs in frpnl 13-6. me warriors kicked off to open the second half, and Malin paraded downfield 86 yards for their tbird pay dirt surge of the day. It was Steyskal again, this time he ram bled 46 yards around his own left end behind some beautiful block ing for the touchdown. Thompson finally caught the Malin back at the goal line, but he was too late as Glenn tumbled into the end zone. , ' PRE:GAME Thompson lived up to his ore- game billing as a top-flight back when he took the ball on the first play of the final Quarter in the day's longest individual effort. Cut ting over his own left tackle, ana slicing back to the right through the Malin secondary, "Little Chief" raced 68 yards for his second six- pointer of the game. Gregory's kick failed and Siletz' hopes faded deeper Into the rain-drenched Ma lm turf. Behind a forward moving line, Malin backs then marched 66 yards or their fourth and final tally. Steyskal carried for 24 yards In the longest gain of the drive to move the ball to the Siletz 15, where Paris carried to the 10. Steyskal skipped to the five and Paris collared three more yards by advancing the ball to the War rior's two yard stripe. From here It was Just a matter of time as Steyskal boomed the final yardage for the score. On the try for point, the Malin tailback started to circle his right end on what looked like a running play, then stopped and fired a strike to Dokken to keep the Malm scoring In "the family," and Malin had their 26-12 margin. Malin's. line proved to be the "big factor" in their state cham pionship triumph, with some bone Jarring blocks coming from Paris, Jim Johnson and Oliva. Steyskal's fabulous single-handed- crusade was made possible through the efforts of the interference laid down by these gridders. After the game. A. E. Street, principal of Malin High School, acting as the OSAA's representa tive, presented the captains of both teams the championship and run nerup trophies and every member of the Malin team with a gold football, symbolic of their grid win.

That my friends is the $64,000 question, and only you the sports fans can answer it. High school sports are for the students attend school first of all, and secondly, what good will the program provide to the youth of our nation if adults, who are supposed to be older and wiser, can't use common sense to. strengthen the prep athletic future, instead of hin dering It, as has been the case several times, and in our own midst at that. , Last weekend at Malin, we met a tew adults, who as they stated, "we aren't getting a fair break from their newspaper on sport cov erage.'.' Their feelings got the best aaaMaaaaaSiSjgaaagaaiaaaaal asaaaaa 1 " ,R-,f-l j ' 1 I iT W"5 MSc 9 "5a O ..rr. M 7. m E 5 1 a I I . a I af I If. I If ' ' . M-mmmim !;-- .- ll JERRY JOHNSON . . . UO frosh eager oped from last Saturday's a.-ions at Malin, who would have paid for a' few adults' actions? That's right, coach Jim Conroy and the Malin football squad. The Oregon School Activities Association, if they had been informed of the Incident, could have taken several channels In which to punish the offending school, including forfeiting the champ ionship game, which was played yesterday afternoon, to Siletz. Do you the adults, who are so quick to take unwise action in the high school athletic -picture, think this to be fair? We don't. Why make your youngsters pay for stupid mistakes on your part? This corner has closed the book on last weekend's actions by a few Maimers. Our only remark: Oood luck to Jim Conroy and his team In the coming basketball season, he is a great person and has some terrific boys with which to work.- OREGON TECH BASKETBALL fans will be in for a treat when they witness the newly remodeled maple court of the Mile High Camp us this Friday night as the Owls open, their season against Olympic Junior College. Coach Wally Palmberg'g cagera will be playing on a completely reflnished floor, which shines like a six-bit shine. But the suprlslng feature Is that there is no more "keyhole." The new 12-foot lane ig shaped ing what officials snd radio announcers will say when an offensive player gets called for too much time In the . , , arch-way (that will do until another more fitting name comes about. 1 Another "new" addition to the Tech gymnasium Is the enlarged seating capacity to give all of the basketball followers In the Basin more choice seats. Both sides of the gym are now equipped with roll-a-away bleachers, which will seats, as was the case last year. To top this, Palmberg reports year. The colors? That Is a surprise. WITH BASKETBALL SEASON ference schools, publicity releases But with the steady stream of Information from the different schools comes some interesting "dope." At Eugene, where Klamath Falls and the Basin Is mentioned the most, Dave D'Ollvo and Craig McCarty, 1855 graduates of KUHS, Jerry Johnson, a 1952 KU grad and Sherman Seastrong, a basketball Handout at Bly last season, sre all listed high on the list of freshmen cage prospects. Coach Don Klrsch of the Oregon Frosh has been working D'Ollvo In one "starting" quintet, while Johnson has been spotted on another flvesome in the early scrimmage sessions. Should Johnson, D'Ollvo, Seastrong and McCarty stick with Klrsch's squsd, then the Basin would have five jasketers playing under Oregon colors. "Radar" Ray Bell, who was a Pelican teammate of Johnson a few years back, is a leading candidate for a starting forward spot with the varsity. The reason for Johnson's status or a first-year man is that he spent two yesrs with Uncle Sam before attending school. Len Swantic. Florida Stale's star junior quarterback, comes from Columbus, Ga. Ron Beagle. Navy's All-America end, is a two-year lettcrmsn on 'he U.8. Naval Academy lacrosse team. MclNTYRE TRAVEL SERVICE Tut tiaaHtacta) Aicnt WILLARD HOTEL hM 1011 W F I .
