Hornets have chance Eugene mile ace Dave Duebner winning the marathon in a time of 8:57.4. Last year it was Hillsboro's mile standout Wendell Cox pacing the pack to the wire in 9:01.3. Cox ran second to Duebner the previous year. Sport Comparable To Wrestling . , . While the sport has never received the reception accorded such sports as football and basketball, it is a sport in which specific athletes receive an opportunity of conditioning themselves . for other athletics. Cross-country is In the same category as wrestling in thai H's considered a minor sport. Still both have gained wider acceptance in recent years. And in (he sport of wrestling, Klamath Falls has been one of the leaders since Its start as a prep sport. The 13-year record of undefeated teams In dual-match com petition set by Pelican mat teams in the late forties and early fifties is one still to be equalled. Following the state cross-country action comes the state swimming tournament at the University of Oregon Nov. 23, with both boys and girls teams competing. Qualification for Ibis meet is also gained in district lank carnivals, with the Southern Conference teams vying with teams from North Bend, liocdsport, Marshtield and Roseburg. Last year Roedsport captured the boys state title with 53 points followed by South Salem with 25. Klamath Falls failed to place, with Mcdford the highest scorer from the southern loop with a fourth place finish and 21 points. Girl Swimmers Have Chance . . . In the girls action it was Wilson of Portland taking the state crown with 67 points followed by Bcavcrton with 49. Mcdford was again the top scorer from the Southern Conference with three points. Adolf Fallcr's Tels have competed in three meets thus far, losing to tho slrong Mcdford team 58-27 in the first tost and coming back In a second meeting for a 43-4.1 deadlock.

In (he four-way test the Pel girls ran last with 29 points, while North Bend won with 97, i The Pels have two other meets prior to the slate test as they travel to Toledo for a six-way meet and then try Hie district - qualifying meet at North Bend Nov. 16. The first six finishers in each event in the district test quality for the state tournament. Football Playoffs Nearing . . . And of course (ootball playoffs arc the big crowd producer, with the start of this action the quarterfinals .set for Nov. 15 or 16 for the A-l and A-2 t'hools, while the Class B loams go into semifinal action on N' v. 22 or 23. It was IMrdforrl (he A-l winner lust fear over North Salemi Central stopping Seaside ior (he A-2 crown and Monroe or Mer rill take j our choice Die Class B winner. In the Class H eight man ball, Hereford won over Canvoovillc. This year it appears at this tage as U Klamath County hai Just (wo slate playoff possibilities in the Merrill Huskies and the Henley Hornets. Tlic Huskies were undefeated going into yesterday's con test and the Hornets, despite a loss to Illinois Valley, still with an outside chance provided they came through Friday night against Lakevicw. Merrill must be given tho edge lo repeat in the state finals based on the number of experienced griddcrs returning horn the Class B playoffs of 1962. Watch Mcdford, Roseburg . . . At this stage it appears the Phoenix Pirates have the edge In the A-2 wars, with the same situation of counting numerous players returning from the 1962 playoffs. A year ago. the Pirates lopped Elmira 19-0 in the quarters before losing to the eventual state champ, Central, in the semis, 3413. In (lie A-l play (he teams figured to be in (he running Mcd ford, Crntils Pass, Itosehurg, North Salem and Pendleton. If Mcdford heals out Grants Pass (or (he Southern Con ference crown, my pick goes with the Tornado to repeat as state champs. If the Cavemen (ake (he conference crown and Itosehurg con tinues lo an unprecedented third consecutive Midwestern llllr. the nod (mm (his quarter goes to (lie ludUns. Too much defense for the rambling backs of Mel Ingram or the passing of Pendleton's Dick Jones if the Bucks or Cavemen should meet the Tribe. The reason for (lie Tornado pick; Tho same as that of the Southern Conference coaches in selecting Medford for the loop title over Grants Pass an oppor tunist ball club. Add to this a much more powerful offense than that of a year ago. New Addition To Stat Chart . . . Statistics play a large part in the athletic picture. hi football, reams and reams of stat copy comes fioin schools here and there. Ucj are charted as to number of carries, yards gained, ards lost; passer watched for attempt, completions, Interceptions, touchdown heaves; punters checked for average length of punts; fumbles, penalties, first downs all recorded. Tho one item now lacking in football stats which certainly would make for interesting reading whether It be high school, collegiate or pro ball: Total yardage by a player leaving or entering the game with the play from the bench!

Moin tinnable if winning tlie league title would have prompted any more KU joy than witnessed here Friday night. Ending a seven-game losing streak stretching over a two year period was the reason. And it was the Ashland Griz zlies cooperating in the Klam ath Falls effort as Bob Wil liams' crew posted their first victory of the season after six consecutive setbacks this year in collecting a 13-0 decision. However, all was not happi ness in the KU'home grounds. "The defense looked great, but the offense didn't do the job it should have, was Wil liams' post-game analysis. "Or maybe it was a case of the Ashland defense being stronger than 1 thought," he added. Tlie Pel offense moved to 136 yards rushing in the fray while allowing the Grizzlies 36 yards total. And it was a pair of long gainers by quarterback Bob Williams in the final quarter one for 21 yards and the oilier for 18. giving the Pels addition al rushing yardage and taking them over the 100-yard mark. Both clubs went to the air frequently, with the Pels hitting two of 16 attempts for 59 yards and the Grizzlies connecting on four of 14 tries for 51 yards. "This was another thing look ing real bad. We couldn't hit on those passes," the head man oltered. Assistant Wade Patterson chimed in. "Two of tliein were touchdowns for sure." He referred to a W'illiams-to-Bob Moore aerial intercepted by Ashland's Denny Ekwall on the Grizzlies' two to stop a sure Klamath Falls third touchdown in the last period. And to the John Parisotto-to-Moore aerial in the opening moments of the third period good for 31 yards and a first down on the Griz zlies' 23. Had Moore been able to elude an Ashland tackier, the third KU touchdown of the game would have been registered. However, there were other attempts which either fell short, were off the mark or an other which was intercepted by Ekwall all of which are indica tive of the passing problems faced by the Pels. The running game was good in the first half and particular ly in the second period when the Pels tallied their touch downs. And it was on the drive for the second KU touchdown that the Pels lost the services of Mike Hitching. Hitching left the game with a badly sprained an kle and did not return. The first drive started in the closing minutes of the first pe riod on the KU 25 after an Ash EFFECTIVE!

The Pels put their offense into high gear on this drive and went the 75-yard distance in sev en plays. After a loss of one yard. Chuck Mills opened the P e I gaining with a 25-yard romp to the 49. It was no gain on the next play and a five-yard mo lion penalty on the next setting the Pels back to their 44. An incomplete second down aerial set up the critical third down play and the Pels came through. The Pelicans called the screen pass and Parisotto hit Hitching on the left side be hind a wall of blockers and he rambled to the Ashland 28 and a first down. It was Hitching and Mills gaining seven and five yards respectively down to the 16 and then the reverse was called, with Kitchinq streaking around the right side the distance for the score. The PAT attempt was blocked and with 9:45 left in the first half the Pels had a 6-0 advantage. The second TD was collected following an exchange of fum bles as Steve Campbell fell on the second Ashland bobble on the Grizzlies' 21 and five plays later the Pels scored as Pari sotlo went over from the one on a sneak. This time Don Plowman's PAT kick was good (or a 13-0 lead. With the exception of a pass interference penalty ruled against the Pels giving the Grizzlies tlie ball on the KU 22 in the final period, the second half was played entirely in Ashland territory. Following this first down on the KU 22, the Grizzlies moved the ball to the Pel 19 where a third duttn fumble was grabbed by the Pels' Chuck Church to end this late threat. Glenn Miller was a defensive standout as t h e Grizzlies at tempted to run their favorite end sweep. But time and again the Pel defensive man was there to nail the runner. Christianson, Plowman. Ernie Badger, Kern. Terry Ecclcs and Verne Petrick were all cit ed for top defensive efforts. And so the end of the losing skein was accomplished by a battered Klamath Falls eleven. Now the Pels will be seeking to start a winning streak as they travel to Crater for the final game of the season next Friday night. This chore is not expected to be easy.
