Still enjoying an undefeated
season, Shelton tligh School's
girls' tennis team chalked up
another victory over previously
unbeaten ('entralia last week, 3-2.
Mrs. Ruth Willard said that
the girls are displaying constant
improvement, that she is pleased
with their performances, and that
they are showing some strength in
their playing.
She stated that they are doing
some juggling of positions in
doubles to find the right
combinations, and so far it has
worked out well. She is trying to
work in her inexperienced girls in
the doubles.
tter sophomores will get more
experience by playing two jayvee
matches with Centralia this week
and next week. Six of the sophs
will play Centralia's jayvees in
Shelton this week and in Centralia
next week.
The team is now 34) in league,
and had a match with Olympia
rained out on Tuesday. Mrs.

the team to beat in order to hope
for a league championship.
In the Centralia match,
number one singles player Val
Sparks, a junior, won her nlatch.
Patty Barnett lost her number
two singles. Suzi Gurver won her
third singles nlatch. Barnett and

North Thurston overcame a
7-0 halftime deficit by scoring 27
points in the second half and beat
the Shelton Highclimbers 27-13 in
Lacey Friday night.
The Climbers kept the Rams
in the hole all of the first half,
helped by senior Larry Olli's
punting. Pill's boots rolled inside
North Thurston's 20 yard line
several times, and once a punt
went till the way to the one yard
line.
Defense and punting.
colnbined with a touchdown pass
from Terry Knight to Rocky
Nutt, gave Shelton a 7-0 lead at
the half.
Thurston's offense, which
proved potent in the end, could
not get going early in the game,
but exploded for four
touchdowns in the second half. J.
D. Fouts, the Rams' quarterbackI
faked and passed his team to the
victory.
The (;limbers received the
opening kickoff. The Rams'
defense held for a one yard loss
on the first two downs, then A1
McGee ripped through the middle
for 16 yards and a first down on
the midfield stripe. From there,
Shelton's attack stalled and Pill
punted to Thurston's 17.
The Rains lost seven on third
down, and punted out to their
own 42. Neal White recovered
Tracy Armstrong's fumble on the
catch. Again the Climbers could
not inove the ball, and Olli placed
the ball on North Thurston's one.
The Rams got out of the hole
with one first down, but they
were forced to punt, and Shelton
got its first big break. A penalty
was levied against the Rams for a
personal foul, and the punt that
followed got only to North
Thurston's 29. Don Neth, junior
fullback, carried on first down
with a six yard pickup.
One play later, the quarter
ended, and the score was still 0-0.
On second down, Neal White,
Shelton's junior quarterback,
recovered a fumble on the 18
yard line and was injured in the
pile that resulted. Sophomore
Terry Knight replaced White, and
on his first down of the ballgame,
tossed a touchdown Io senior end
Rocky Nutt in the end z()ne. AI
Mc(;ee's successful PAT made it
7-0 in favor of the Climbers.
When ]hurston got the ball,
they made a first down by pass
intcrference, but then Terry
Knight, playing in the defensive
backfield, picked up a fumble on
his own 44 and the ball was
Shelton's again.
When the ('limbers could not
move the ball, Pill turned the
trick again and punted to the
Rams' six yard line. Thurston
proceeded to rip off gains of l2,
13, and 12 yards before Brad
Piing, a sophomore defensive
lineman, recovered a fulnble on
Thurston's 49 to give Shelton the
ball.
1'he Rams' defense held again,
but Olli's golden toe landed the
ball on the nine yard line. The
hall' ended before North l"hurston
could get their drive past their
own 35. The (?limbers, who had
come into the game slight
underdogs, were leading 7-0.
The second half was almost
the exact opposite of the first.
North Thurston dominated. They
scored the first time they got the
ball. Coach Jack Stark of Shetton
said that perhaps the turning
point in the game was when the
Climbers failed to stop the Rams
in that first touchdown drive
despite a third-and-23 situation.
Thurston started on their own
23 following the second half
kickoff, and Fouts guided them
Iownfield with his pinpoint
.assing. Forty-eight of the 77
yards on the drive were
conquered by air. Thurston led
8-7 following a two-point
conversion.
The Rams got a break on the
next Climber possession when AI
McGee fumbled and the hosts
recovered. In seven plays,
Thurston had scored from the
Climbers' 47. A 15 yard penalty
had helped. The extra point try
was no good, using the same
halfback pass play that had
worked before, and the Rams led
14-7.
Shelton came back later. They
had to punt to the Rams, but
Thurston fumbled three plays
later. Shelton recovered and
started on a touchdown drive.
Don Neth had to make a first
down on fourth down to keep the
drive alive, then a penalty moved
the ball to the Rams' 20. Needing
three yards on fourth down again,
White called Neth's number again.
Neth responded with four yards
and a first down.
On the next play, White rolled
to his right, cut back, and ran
through several Ram defenders
into the endzone for a
touchdown. Down 14-13, the
Climbers went for the lead and a
two-point conversion. It failed.
The Rams scored in six plays
when the Climbers kicked off.
Shelton then pun
got the ball again.
