Huskies' QBJnjured Again Western View Keeps Record Over Scoiiies By BOB WELCH Highland View Junior High School has had some trouble beating Western View for the past eight years. This season is no exception. The Pioneers, owning only a 2-2 record going into the game," dimmed Highland -View's title chances and up-ped their unbeaten streak against the Scotties to nine years in beating the cross-town rivals, 28-16, at Western View. Cheldelin whipped North Albany, 30-6, in' other action.

Western's Head Coach Chris Leston had plenty of praise for his winning troops. "I'd just like to compliment the whole team for keeping the streak going for nine years without losing Highland View," commented the joyous Leston and added, "They all played great." Fitting the underdog's role, Leston's Pioneers scored two first-half touchdowns to lead at the intermission, 14-0. Kent Hardin, who totaled 197 yards the entire game, set up Don Oleman's two-yard TD run with a 51-yard run of his own in the opening quarter. In the second quarter, Hardin, who also added the conversion on Oleman's TD, ripped off a 73-yard TD run. Highland View began the second half with Randy Borden's 53-yard run for paydirt.

Mike Windom converted. In his usual outstanding performance, Hardin then banged in from 15 yards out and later in the fourth quarter from the four for Western. He also added the conversion. Ragan Humphrey's 23-yard TD pass to Doug Dobie and Jim Buckendorf's conversion only made the score a bit more respectable. Lauded among others for their outstanding play on defense for Western were Hardin (who else), with seven unassisted tackles, Oleman and Steve Eickelberg with four each and Berry Vomocil, who downed Scotty ballcarriers three times.

Clyde Powell, head mentor at Highland, cited Randy Borden (107 total yards) and Ragan Humphrey (11-19 passing) as offensive stars. Doug Dobie and Jay Locey made 12 and 11 tackles respectively for the Scotties. The losers fared well in the statistical department, gaining 199 yards on the ground and 119 through the air. Cheldelin's Mark Doverspike returned the opening kick-off 70 yards for a touchdown and the Cougars were never threatened again. Steve Fulton made the conversion and later in the same quarter scored Cheldelin's second touchdown on a one-yard plunge.

Doverspike converted. North Albany soon tallied but Doverspike came right back with a 13-yard run to put the Cougars in front at the half, 22-6. After a scoreless third quarter, Doverspike picked off an enemy aerial and raced 48 yards to the end zone for the score. Gerald Wahl grabbed a Fulton pass for the conversion. Cheldelin gained 166 yards on the ground, led by Gary Smith with 78.

The Cougars collected 40 yards in the air to give them 206 total yards gained. Smith with eight tackles and Grant Windom with (Continued on page 20) i 7 1 season against Oregon Saturday. EUGENE, Ore.

Hanzlik, who recovered sufficiently from pulled abdominal muscles to lead the 'Huskies against Oregon State in a game lost in the final second, reinjured himself Sunday night and hasn't been able to practice.

Halter has The bigger When youve got in the It'll be a Utah Redskin football team that owns an impressive 4-1 record hat opposes Oregon State i Portlarid's Civic Stadium Saturday night in the 'Beavers' last intersectional game of the year. The 'Skins opened the 1969 campaign with a 28-17 loss to the University of Oregon. "We've Improved in every game since our opener," Coach Bill Meek, in his second season at Salt Lake City, feels. The Utes followed with a 42-7 win over San Jose State (the same team that upset Oregon), downed the University of Texas at El Paso, 24-6; rallied from a 15-4 deficit to edge Arizona State, 24-23; and whitewashed New Mexico, 24-0. The Redskins have reeled off these four straight wins with a potent ground game and the quarterbacking brilliance of Ray Groth.

Groth, who once signed a letter of intent at OSU, has passed for 442 yards and rushed for 227 while accounting for five touchdowns. He's the man who makes the 'Skins go, a dangerous runner and a capable passer. Utah's ground game has manufactured 286 yards per game. That's over twice Oregon State's average of 126 per contest. Fullback Dave Smith has a 5.2 average on 59 carries while halfback Bill Hunter is averaging 4.8 on 61 tries.

And Groth has an impressive 4.5 mark on 50 attempts despite 92 yards in losses. Add halfback Fred Graves (4.8 average on 47 carries) and the Redskins boast a potent rushing attack. Groth has only a .409 completion percentage but he was particularly impressive against Arizona State, picking the Sun Devils with short tosses. His top receiver is James Brown, a transfer from Laney Junior College in Oakland, where he" broke the pass catching records of ex-Utah ace Speedy Thomas. Defensively, Utah has allowed 136 yards per game rushing and 163 on passes.

The Redskins have picked off nine enemy aerials, though, and Norm Thompson, another JC transfer, has taken two back to touchdowns, the longest an 89- yard jaunt. OSU edged Utah by a 24-21 count In Salt Lake City last year as Bill Enyart, had a record day-50 carries for 299 yards and all three Beaver touchdowns. But OSU had to 'fight for its life in the closing minutes as Utah overcame a 24-7 deficit with two touchdowns. The Beavers have a six-game winning streak against the Utes and have a 7-1-1 record in the overall series, Including a resounding 61-28 win on old Bell Field in 1951. Interest in Portland appears high for the game.

OSU Athletic Director Jim Barratt said yesterday a crowd of around 33,000 is anticipated for the only major college game In the Rose City this year. Dragons Set Trip MONROE A chartered bus for the Monroe Dragons football team and one for rooters for the season-ending game with Powers on, Nov. 15 Is being planned by the Monroe Booster Club. Persons interested in making the trip to Powers should contact Ed Cohee at Alpine. Marshall has Indicated he will start Dan Fouts, San Francisco.

at quarterback. Fouts, an outstanding passer, probably will not get much of a chance to use his talented right arm much this season as the Frosh club has more running talent than receiving ability. Fouts is battling Walt Reynolds, Por Band's Cleveland High School, for the quarterback position. The Frosh will also have a large defensive line with Sanchez the key man at tackle. Ray Reeves, former North Salem star, is another ley member of the Frosh defense.

Oregon State's Rooks have already played one game, falling to Washington State's Coubabea by 30-25 last week. Tribe Averaging 519 A Game ft, Stadium Busy All Day A typical day at Parker Stadium this fall finds the facility being Used for physical education classes from 9-12 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. The OSU football team or sometimes the baseball team when the grlddtrs stay on the regular practice field uses it from 3-4 p.m. At night ft'a being used by either the marching band, Intramural football, soccer or rugby team or perhaps Corvallis High's football squad.

What they said about the stadium being used for a "myriad of activities," to use a Jim. Barratt quote, is proving true. And tire light bill costs only $3 an hour. Incidentally, the OSU baseball nine uses regular spikes when it drills on the AstroTurf. 380 Shoes In "Bank" They don't have to use the "shoe bank" which Includes 380 pairs of special shoes for use on the AstroTurf for football 300 for OSU and the visitors and 10 for visiting high school teams.

Corvallis High purchased Its own shoes. The AstroTurf has lived up to its reputation for decreasing injuries. It's Tough On Uniforms OSU has spent much of its practice time in the stadium. So far, other than one sprained ankle, the Beavers have had no major injuries. The only major problem With playing or practicing on the artificial grass is abrasions to the.

elbows. As you may have noticed, the Beavers added football stockings this fall which they wear in games to cut down ort "floor burns." The AstroTurf is also rough on uniforms. OSU has played but one game (USC) on the field, but six pairs of game pants had holes burned through the knees. Five of these were worn by defensive players. And in the 30-plus practice sessions on the AstroTurf, OSU has noted the turf is rough on leather footballs.

Before each game, Incidentally, the Beavers vacuum the turf with a three-foot sweeper which was Included in the contract when the AstroTurf was purchased. It takes about two hours to sweep the turf. In warm weather the turf has proven to be about 10 degrees hotter than a regular field. Usually the field is watered on hot days to lower the temperature. Players like the AstroTurf, even with the skinned elbows.

Student participation in other areas rugby, Intramurals, soccer, etc. is turning a stadium that once was Idle all but a few days each year into a center of activity on campus. worryaboutrunmngout Even when the gang stays later than usual.

In team defense, USC is No. 1 in rushing defense, giving up an average of only 94 yards per game, with Stanford second, allowing only 96 rushing yards per game.
