PAGE iC ' HERALD AND NEWS, ALONG r-r r, SIDELINES M.. by BfU GOUID-J How the balance of power shifts . . . For years it has been generally conceded Dial the Midwest ern League and Southern Conference field Uie strongest prep teams in any given sport. In the former league, the football power has long been offered by the Marshfield Pirates, with the unexcelled work of one Pete Susick the generating force behind a series of outstand ing grid teams. t "' j : jf' s AL KECK .his line surprised ; .standing football in college and in service ball college work at Washington and Portland University the latter school dropping ' the grid sport later. The Challenges Were Huge ... '. But, he had seen coaching success. He had put Astoria in ' the football picture for the first time In the history of this coastal ; town a town where the game of basketball had been King always. A product of his work there has been giving Oregon Duck '. opponents problems: His name, Larry Hillyand this player is just one. The Fishermen finally became as much a football town as . a basketball town and the people loved it. It was a large challenge at Astoria and It was conquered, ; An even larger challenge existed at Roseburg, where - coaches had come and gone, ; Starting In 1058, the Dew mentor went to work and as of Friday night had raised Roseburg football to an all-lime high. '. ) In six years, runner-up team to Susick's Pirates twice and winner of the league title three consecutive years; winner of 20 ; consecutive league contests against such teams as Marshfield, J North Bend, South Eugene, Springfield, North Eugene and litis year a strong Cottage Grove team. And winner of the state title in 1061 Uie first such title in ; sports history at Roseburg. More Than Coaching Ability .... Of course his name Is Roy Thompson, a guy who had the ability to impart sound football fundemcntals and key game stra ; togy to players no better nor worse than those available in pro i vious years. ' But, he also had the ability to instill a new feeling in the ', school toward Uie game and a new spirit in playing the game. ; These factors unquestionably tended to the success of the Indians. J Many will point to a sound grade school football program w rtoaeDurg prior 10 i nompsan arrival as aiacy w me success. 5 However, the fact Is a football program existed In the J grade schools of the city as far back as the 20's when Mrdford and Roseburg grade schoolers met. The record produced by Thompson in a short aix years ' has placed the Indians In a position of vying, with Marshfield and Medford as the stale's leading football school. His record is impressive despite a 2-7 season in his 1059 campaign, with overall mark leading up to the state playoffs tins year of 43-14-1. Yes, the balance of power shifts occasionally, and in Li) is : case it's been the work of this virtual unknown, Hoy Thompson, : placing the Roseburg Indians on Uie football map. Old Adversary For Huskies ... I Gene Christensen's Merrill Huskies go into the state playoffs I again and an old adversary is ncaring a position of facing the ; Huskies for Uie first time since a stale title was gained by Uie ; Merrill eleven in 1008. ; Hi is team is the Yoncalla Eagles. ; KlamaUi Falls' basketball mentor Al Keck will remember ; this contest for many years, as it was Keek's Huskies who made ;believers out of Uie Eagles in that state title game. The big, big Eagles had rolled aver every opponent with ease Including Tillamook Catholic and Knappa in the slate ' quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. ' Merrill possessed some outstanding barks and had moved ' to an equally Impressive record In advancing to the state finals. ' The two trams were to meet and all 'experts' saw a ! somewhat even contest, with perhaps a touchdown or a point ; separating the two. , : However, when Uie final horn had sounded, the Huskies had run roughshod over Uie Eagles to (lie tiuio of 00-6. ; The Huskies had given away line weight, but grabbed it 'tack through tlie simple mctJiod of sound football out clwrging the opponent. Forward Wall Wos Key . ... Tho talk of Uie Merrill forward wall Uiat day almost out shone tlie outstanding work of tlie explosive backs. Keck was a happy man that day. "Thry surprised even me the way thry blocked and oienrd the holes. They had done a good Job all year and the ' Yoncalla line was expected to be Ihe biggest lest. "It was, but they came through as If Yonralla's line was nothing." It was, that day and the Huskies made II so. ' And now a possible return meeting between the teams is in Ihe making depending on semifinal success. ; The Yoncalla eleven was awaituig Uie outcome of the ;Knappa-Jcffcrsun contest to determine a semifinal opponent and the Huskies watching the outcome of Uie Maupin-Joseph game for ;their semis opponent next weekend. ; If the two teams could come through in the semis, it would ;make for an interesting return meeting of Uie teams in Uie finals. Robinson Finds Weakness . . . ; Last weekend tho Oregon State Beavers mot ami lost to She Indiana lloosiers and an interested sievttor was Oregon leoach John Robinson win was scouting. The Wcbloot assistant rrportrd to ( as nn his return and '. one of his olxiervaUons: : "Indiana has a great fullback In Tom Nowatske. but I've found his weakness. I "Mien ccn or eight people hit him simultaneously .he falls down!" : This is comparable to the statement by St. Louis assistant Xoach Ed Henke in speaking of the Cleveland Brown's great Jimmy Brown: ; "Tackle him above the waist and holler lor help ar ; he'll drag you to death!" The hazards of football. ... fiunday, November 17, 193 Klamath Falli, Ore. T In tlie fall of 1958, a virtual un known appeared on the scene at Roseburg where the game of football had been far from suc cessful since the start of prep athletic activities. No one knew too much about this latest addition to the Hose burg sports scene a town where numerous other coaches had spent unsuccessful time only to move on to other schools and become well-known for foot ball success. Such people as .Mel Ingram at Grants Pass and Bob George at Milton Frccwatcr to name just two. And this unknown was to at tempt what other coaches had tried to no avail. 11 is background offered the fact lie had played some out- Texas Cotton Bowl Trip Assured Longhorns AUSTIN, Tex. 'UPl - The University of Texas defeated Texas Christian 17-0 Saturday to nail down a Ue for the South west Conference championship and the Longhorns' third straight trip to the Cotton Bowl. The victory, nine of tile sea son for Uie lop-ranked, unde feated Longhorns, moved Texas to within one game of the na tional championship and its first perfect season in 4.1 years. Duke Carlisle again master minded Texas on two touchdown drives and barefooted Tony Crosby kicked a 42-yard field goal, the longest of his career, to keep Texas at tlie head of Ihe national standings for Uie sixth consecutive week. Fullback Tom Stockton, who was almost held out at the be ginning of the season because of so much talent in front of him. scored one of Texas' two touchdowns and chewed up 89 yards in 21 carries. Phil Harris scored from the Uirce at the beginning of tlie second period for the Long horns' first touchdown. Stock ton's score also was from the three in the closing minutes of Uie third period. Stockton won a starting as signment after Harold Philipp, who had replaced Ernie Koy on the first team after Koy suf fered a shoulder separation, was injured himself in last week's game with Baylor.' The victory and Texas' , spot less 9-0 season record was an impressive one for the mighty Longhorns. It was their 450th win on the football field and their 35th since Coach Darroll Royal took over in 1957. This lied the all-time coaching rec ord for Texas held by fabled Dana X. Bible. The loss was the third in a row for TCU. and was the first time the Horned Frogs had been beaten on Texas' home field since 1957. Twice previous ly TCU came to Texas w ith tlie Longhorns holding down Uie No. 1 national ranking and upset Texas A&M Finds New Attack ToWin HOUSTOol (UPI) Texas A&M, punch less most of t h e season, discovered a late-season passing attack Saturday and re serve quarterback Jim Keller led the Aggies to a 13-6 South west Conference upset over , Rice. Keller brought the Aggie s passing game to life in the Uiird quarter completing tosses of 14 and 23 yards in A&M's 55-yard drive for llicir only touchdown of the day. The loss eliminated Rice 'fur any share of the southwest con ference and virtually killed oft any chance for a major bowl bid. The Owls arc now 5-3 for the season and 3-2 in confer ence play.

Takes Texas. That was in 1059 and 1961. Texas got off to a slow start, going more than half the open ing period before they gained a first down. But Carlisle's hand offs to Stockton began to click and the first quarter ended with the Longhorns with a first down only 10 yards from the Horned Frog goal. Tailback Tommy Ford, the top ground gainer in the confer ence, carried 14 times for a net 46 yards.

(UPI) - South eastern Conference offensive leader Jimmy Sidle turned in li is exacted dazzling perform ance Saturday to lead the 10th ranked Auburn Tigers to a 14-0 victory over the Georgia Bull dogs. The junior quarterback, one of the nation's top rushers, was especially impressive with his running and gambling pitchouts, but his biggest single play was a 55-yard touchdown pass to halfback George Rose on Au burn's first play of the third period. For tlie Aggies, it was llicir first SWC win of the year against four losses and a tie and gave them a 2-6-1 record. The game appeared firsl as a rout for the Owls when they scored in the first 14 seconds of play on wingback Gene Flem ing's 98-yard kick-off runback. A bad center foiled Rice's chance for Ihe extra point and they led 6-0 before most of the crowd of 46,000 w as scaled.
