NAME ........ ...... ADDRESS. CITY .......................................... i..ll SHELTON'S LEAD SHORT.LIVED IN 38.7 LOSS AT BEARS HANDS About tile only satisfaction the Hlghclimbers gleaned from their adieu performance to the 1949 football season last Friclay was that they led tle' Olympia Beat's, 'Southwest Washington's gridiron cimmpions, for one fllll quarter and at the same time tin'ned in one of their better exhibithms of the year. The final score was a top- heavy 38 to 7 in favor of the hosting Bears, wile struck through the air anti on the ground to overpower tile Smithmen with a combination of football class and tmlimited reserves. IT COULD HAVE been consid- erably closer with a break here and there, such as the fumble on Olympia's tour-yard line which wiped out a Highclimbers touch- down possibility immediately af- ter the see.and half kickoff. Tim Bears had booted to Silelton and the wonderful Bob Phillips, who was the best boy on tile field Fri- day night, carried it from the I t to tim Shelton 34. Phillips bagged a pass from Bob Eacrdtt for 26 yards, then ran an- ()that 31 to Olympia's nine for a total of 80 yards in three plays. Des Koch made four on tim next lilly, then the Highclimher hack- field timing got messed up and a 'ramble lost the ball. AT Tile TIME the score was 26 to 7 for the Bears, and that lost touchdown wouldn't have made much difference except it might have kept some of the Bear regulars in the game longer. But that 26-7 halftime margin might have been a couple of touchdowns closer with sharper tackling by the Highclimbers, who had Dean Rockey trapped twice but let him get away for costly gains. The first of these times he got a pass away to Ivan Budd for a. touchdown, the next time he slipped out of tacklers' arms and ran to the Shelton four when he could find no uncovered receivers on an intended pass play. A quar- terback sneak on the next play brouglt the score which gave the Beat's their 26 to 7 halftime lead. TIlE CLIMBER drew first blood, scoring midway through the first quarter after a succession of fumbles which started on the op- ening kickoff. TIke Hillman re- covered Olympia's second fumble of tle three in the series, giving Shelton possession on the Bear 33. Phillips ripped off 29 yards when tim Highclimbers sprang a sm'prise on everybody with a sin- gle-wing play and he went around right end to the Bear five. Koch picked up one, then Phillips blast- ed through the line for the score and Des banged the conversion through the uprights. IL took the Bears exactly three plays, including the kickoff, to get the touc.hdown back, but not Lhe try-for-point. Koch's kickoff was returned to the Bear 36 by Mac Partlow, who then raced ar- ound left end for 44 yards on the next play to Shelton's 21. Only a brilliant tackle by Jack David- son kept him from going all the way. Larry Malloy did go all the way on tile next play, but Rusty McClary missed the kick. and the score stood at 7-6 for Shelton as the quarter ended. TIlE BEARS WENT in to stay after recovering a fumble on Shelton's 37 eprly in the sec- ond quarter. Ierb Lindberg went for 15, then for 22 for the score after an unsuccessful pass. The other two Bear touchdowns at the first half have already been accounted for. and another pair were hung up in the second half when Rockey passed 14 yards to Lindberg m mid-third quarter and when Gil Long ran eleven yards before tim half-way-point in the Shop the Holiday Sale Book ... it's packed wlth practical gifts for practical people, it's budget-prlced from cover to cover, it's here for your holiday shoppingl From frothy lingerie and pastel shirts to ice-skates Dad pressure cookers.., you'll find the gifts that meat so much, priced so low you'll "Dub" am ; ") "ah" at the savlngsl It's nice to find and  give gifts like these.., nice on your X, , Christmas budget, tool CALL OUR $ALH REPRESENTATIVE FOR YOUR HOLIDAY SALE BOOK NOWI Mrs. Audrey Crabiil 1016 East Ellinor Phone 1020 r last period. A 27-yard Rockey-to- Long pass had preceeded the touchdown by two plays and had been instigated by Rockey's inter- caption of a Silelton pass one play prior to that. ! SHEI,TON'S occasional use of single wing plays was not only a big surI)rise but higifly successful in the first half. The first three times it was used Kocll went for ten and Phillips for 29 and 23 yards. The Bears began stopping it in the seconq imlf when the virtually unlimited supply of Olympia manpower had Worn tits thin Highclimber roster down. Although they were hopelessly out-manned and out-cla:;sed, the Highclimbers never quit trying and actually played one of their better games el; tile season, but were up against, the best Olym- pia team of the past dozen years. A MENTIONED before, Phil- lips never was better and stole tim stow even from tim victorious Bear players. His play on both offense and defense was snperb. Tike Hilhnan, Jimmy Leggett and Jack Mallinger all played inspired ball in tile Shelton line. The defeat left Shelton with an even slate for the year, four vic- tories against  four defeats.  The victory kept Olympia among the lmdefeated ranks of the state.

'"" " NT SSLA by BILL DICKIE ,i IT'S OVER--IT'S BETTER Football has stepped behind the curtain in Shelton for another year, this time with a far more satisfactory adieu than 12 months ago. Where three Shelton gridiron machines failed to hang up even a single victory last year, this sea- son they have compiled an even dozen triumphs against nine de- feats and one tie. Ray Patrick's junior high Blazers were the only local grid- ders to compile a record with more victories than defeats, winning five of seven games and tying for second place in the tough S.tW.W. junior high con- ference. Red Smith's Htghclimbers broke exactly even in eight games, but had the edge in their Central League games to tie for second place, quite in contrast to 1948's cellar-place finish. Grant Packard's Little Climbers (the B squad) likewise wound up with a balanced ledger in, seven games, having three triumphs, three setbacks, one deadlock--and developed an exceptionally high- scoring attack for a reserve ag- gregation. Altogether, quite a satisfactory season all-around. year's Highelimber graduates. They are Bob Wilhur, an end, Rog- er Salisbury, a center, and Karl Schwarck, Red Cox and Bob Ris- tine, backs. The last three, plus some im- proving boys off the B squad like Lee Chapman, Ned Miller, Chris Loop and Alvia Chapman, may Soften the tough blow which will be the loss of Des Koch and Bob Phillips. One problem Smith won't have to face next year is the tendency this year's squad had of depend- ing so heavily on Koch that when he was out of the lineup the club's dauber dragged. This year's Sophomores ........ Jerry McCord, Mere Wingard, Danny Yarr, Murry Coleman--should be ready to blossom into their full bloom as regulars next year to help this year's returning juniors in rounding out what at this early date seems to shape up as a reas- onably solid squad. This, with the coaching ability Red Smith has demonstrated clear- ly in his first season with the High- climbers, seems to be enough to warrant an optimistic outlook on 1950's football possibilities in Shel- ton. A TRUE SPORTSMAN Until someone proves otherwise, HOW DID IT HAPPEN the Sideliner's nomination for And while the subject is fresh, Shelton's most ardent sportsman just what changed the Highclimb-is Mary "Spike" Morgan. er football p!cture from 1948's dulli There's almost nothing Mother gray to 1949 s roe tint? J Nature offers in these parts The biggest single factor, this which Mary does not enjoy as corner believes, is tile immeasur, the proper seasons come along. able improvement in the club's[ Ile's out on the streams when blocking, and to a lesser extent its] stream fishing opens in the tackling. Where there was vir- tually no blocking at all last year there was a pretty good grade this year---not the best by any means but a marked improvement over tat year. Next most important factor was the tremendous Improve- ment in the Individual play of Bob Phillips, and to a slightly less extent in Jack Davidson's, in making Shelton's offense function. Nor can TiRe Hillman be left out of the discussion. As a soph- omore last year he played only a very limited time but enough to clearly show his potentialities. This year he dtvelopcd, despite a long succession of injuries, into Shelton's top lineman by a wide margin. If he can escape injury and do proportionately as well next year as a senior. Hillman should be Shelton's best bet for All-State honors. Those are the factors--plus the excellent coaching job performed by Red Smith in his first year at the Highclimbe helm--which this scribe believes accounLu for the up-turn in Shelton football for- tune this season of 1949.

Come September and Mary joins, the relatively few band- tailed pigeon hunters of this com- munity.

But tile point is. Matt Morgan has no equal as a sportsman in Mason County---for the Sidelin- er's money--and his closest rival probably would turn out to be his twin brother, Mel. The outlook for 1950 and 1951, even 1952, is good, insofar as any- one can look that much to the future. Smith will have problems next year, such as replacing his tack- les. His four varsity taokles all graduate, and while only Jim- my Hunter was anything of bet- ter.than-average calibre, it's no simple task to start absolutely clean at such an important po- sition. There is one bright tackle hope in Al Gouley, who will be up from the junior high. The junior high is also sending up four oz' five other youngsters who may go a long way to help replace this VACATION BY AIR| We'll handle all detalb of ,, your air trlp--freei Itetervoflons information and expert advice--call or write  for complete travel service.
