Tournament and playoffs they're not far off. . . .
It's the cross-country and swimming state tournaments soon
and the start of the annual gridiron state playoffs all culminated
with state champions.
Cross-country is the first tournament, with the distance run
ners slated to vie at Willamette University over the 1.8 mile

Yesterday, aspirants from the various districts throughout
the state met in district tournaments for the purpose of qualifica
tion for the state show.

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 a four-way meet involving North Bend, Itrcdsport and
JMarshfield, tho Pels ran second to North Bend with 70 points,
while the Bulldogs piled up 91 markers.
Iteedspnrt was a litrong third with 66 points, while the Marsh
field Pirates trailed with It. i
In girls action the Pelicans have met Mcdford twice nnd
dropped a pair of meets by scores o( 71-13 and 72-8. 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!

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

land drive had been stopped as
Terry Christianson picked olf a
Grizzlie pass on the 12 and re
turned to the 25.
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.
