I By CHARLES GAY Exploding for 29 points in the second half, Shelton's Highclimbers ripped Tumwater 36-6 Friday on Loop Field, extending their winning streak to three and their win-loss mark to 4-1. Still anybody's game at the half, 7-0, the cOntest turned into a rout when Tumwater started making mistakes and Tracy Armstrong ran two brilliamt punt -eturns to set up scores. krmstrong had more than those wo; he had 202 return yards in ight runbacks, and came within n eyelash of breaking open everal of them. He was named tighclimber of the Week for his outstanding play. The Climbers scored in almost every way possible - by running, by passing, by recovering a fumble, by kicking, and by a safety.The passing touchdown was of special importance to Rocky Nutt. Nutt, a senior end, caught his fifth of the season in five games ~lnd kept his magic string going. It was a game of pleasure for the people who never get the glory of scoring. Dave Myer, a defensive lineman, jumped on a Tumwater fumble in the end zone for a third quarter touchdown. Linemen seldom get such a thrill. Dan Bolender caught the Tumwater quarterback in the T-Birds' end zone for a rare safety, scoring two points for Shelton. And with 13 seconds left on the clock, third string quarterback Ray Krumpols made his first high school touchdown as a sophomore, rolling around left end from l l yards out. The Climbers, favorites going into the game, soon found out that the T-Birds had come to try to disprove that supposition. Tumwater was running through Shelton's defense on several occasions before the Climbers could stop them. Shelton scored the second time they got their mitts on the ball. The Climbers received the opening kickoff, Doug Long returning the kick to the 43. They advanced to the 50 where Larry Dill looped and rolled a punt 34 yards downfield. But Tumwater punted also, and the Climbers took over on their own 38. Rob Settle, who started his first game at halfback in place of injured A1 McGee, did the bulk of the work on the touchdown drive. Settle did a splendid job of running the ball all night. In the drive, he carried for gains of eight, nine, and seven yards. Neal White had a big l l yard gaia on a keeper, and Don Neth finally capped the drive by running to paydirt from two yards out. Neal White kicked the extra point. McGee was the Climbers' leading ground gainer who had rushed for over 100 yards in two straight games before he sustained a back injury. Armstrong had two long punt returns, and the Climbers got close to Tumwater's goal, but no more scoring took place in the half. The contest opened wide for Shelton in the second half. Tumwater received the kickoff and was forced to punt. Tracy Armstrong ran it back 32 yards to the T-Birds' eight. Don Neth fumbled on first down, Tumwater recovering. However, on second down, the T-Birds' quarterback rolled to his left, waving the ball around by his hip, and discovered that he had the ball no longer, but had dropped it in his end zone. To his horror and Dave Myer's delight, Myer pounced on the ball for a touchdown. Shelton led 13-0. Tumwater had to punt when they got the ball again, and this time Armstrong returned it 40 yards to Tumwater's ten. The Climbers ran two plays, then White tossed to Nutt for anotheJ touchdown from the six. Whih kicked the extra point; the scon was 20-0."

Martin returned the theft 27 yards. Brad Oling (65) is a defensive lineman in on the action. series of downs, and Tumwater was forced to punt once more. Armstrong did the job again, running it to the visitors' 25. Six plays later, Rob Settle scored• He had carried five of those six plays, and in his first game as a regular, had a touchdown. He went over from inches away. It was then 26-0. Moments later, it was 28-0 when Neal White tossed to Bob Martin for a two-point conversion. It had been a broken kicking play. Again Shelton got the ball on a punt, and o~ee again Armstrong terrorized Tumwater with another runback. Terry Knight now in the game, he passed to Bob Martin on third down for 14 yards. Martin was piled upon, and that advanced the ball 15 yards downfieid. A fumble ended the drive on Tumwater's 38. A penalty set the T-Birds' back as did two losses, and on third down, the quarterback was dropped in the end zone by defensive lineman Dan Bolender. The score now 30-0, Shelton put many reserves in. Bob Crume ran back the safety kickoff 24 yards to Tumwater's 36. The Climbers got down to the 16 before an interception stopped them. On first down, Bill Yandle of Tumwater shot through the middle and raced 92 yards for the T-Birds' only points. The speedster was the game's leading rusher with 142 yards, and had been the source of Shelton's headaches in the first half. In two more plays, the ball changed hands twice. Shelton fumbled but got the ball back on an interception by Bob Martin, who ran it back 27 yards. Bob Crume gained 16 yards, then ten more before Ray Krumpols carried it in himself from 11 yards out for the score. The extra point no good, it was 36-6 with hardly any time on the clock. Settle led the Climbers on the ground with 66 yards in 13 carries. Bob Crume had seven carries for 55 yards. Don Neth ground out 20 yards in five tries. Ray Krumpols had 11 yards in one carry and a tremendous touchdown-per-carry average, I00 per cent. Neal White gained 25 yards in four carries, and several more players had three yards or less. In the air, Neal White was two for two for nine yards and a touchdown, and Terry Knight was two of three for 30 yards. Paul Wittenberg, a senior linebacker, led the team with 11 tackles. The Climbers held Tumwater to minus one yard passing in the game, and virtually cut off Tumwater's ground game in the second half except for Yandle's burst. The T-Birds had 98 yards in the second half on the ground, 92 of them on one run- with several substitutes in. Coach Jack Stark said that the team had a fine second half. They started out the first half a little slow, and didn't play the inspired football that they did in the second half. He said in the second half. "they played like real Climbers." He also made note of the many good hits all along the line, and of several key tackles on the part of Don Neth, defensive lineman. Stark gives credit to the assistant coaches whom he feels are doing an excellent job with the team. They are Bill Brickert, Ron Ellis, Paul Johansson, and Mike Sims. The Climbers have lost only to North Thurston in action thus far. They have scored 95 points to their opponents' 45, and have registered two shutouts. They have won more games in one season than the past three combined. League play opens next week, and the Climbers will face the unbeaten North Thurston Rams on Loop Field at 8:00 p.m. Many think that this game will decide the Black Hills championship. Stark anticipates a tough game, and says that his troops have to play like they did against Tumwater in the second half last week. Last week, Thurston downed Timberline by a 44-0 score, a team which Shelton also whitewashed, 21-0.
