Paul Koch one touchdown for the other six points completing the 144-point Highclimber total for the season. Offensively, the Highclimbers ran up a net of 1435 yards on run- ning plays for an average of a fraction under 180 yer game. That passing wasn't their principal wea- pon of ground gaining is seen in the 424 yard total gained by Shel- ton through the air, an average of 53 yards per game. Opponents gained 340 yards in aerial play against the Red and Black, or a shade over 40 each game. Shelton's biggest offensive per- formance was accumulated in their second meeting with Elnm, which resulted in their biggest point total of the season at 31 to 0 and 321 yards from running plays and 40 from passing. The Chehalts rout was a close second; at 25 to 0, 206 yards from run- ning, 128 from passes, and 18 first downs, tle latter their high in first downs for the year. Thru- out the schedule Sholton accumu- lated 88 first downs to their ri- vals' 40, or an average per game edge of 11 to 15. How 1947 ShaPes Up No recap of the past season would be quite complete without a quick glance at the next based on what part of this year's squad will be back for 1947. This year's will be hardest hit at the tackles, where the High- climbers lose by graduation Sund- sten, McBride and. Hunter, plus one end, Berg, and one guard, Graham. Returning to form the nucleus of next year's line will be Carlson at end, Crowe at tackle, Newman and Eager, guards, and Cardinal, center. Berg's loss will be felt hardest and filling the oth- er tackle post will be Somewhat of a problem for Hillyard. Crowe can handle one tackle spot nicely and Sophomore Norm Buck showed definite cpabllitiea for the'other, with Bill Otbler returning from reserve duty "this year to hold the inside trtc on Bergs vacated' end post. In the backfield the. logs of White ;fll be t,e big hole to fill. Koch, a sophomore this year, is the lad " most likely to be Hillyard's answer to that problem.

[ Bud was a familiar figure at nearly any sporting event in this community q nd seldom missed a day without at [cast putting in an, appearance at the bowling alleys,' whether to compete in league play or keep score for teams which were. He skippered the Sheitou en- try in Olympia's fast scrIch league which ol)erates on Mon- day night and ranked well *tP with the leaders ia the aver- age. lie also captained the Reed M, ili entry in the city bowling circui! and the Morgan Luml)er entry in the men's major lea- gne here. Although uot a regu- lar participator, he was aa occasional competitor in the commercial league with Mor- gan Lumber's entry, and was a regular representative of Shei- Ion's bowling clan in tourna- ment play throughoul tim Northwesl." Last year he tied with Mark Fredson" for highest average in the city bowlirig, circuit at 194 pins and led the commercial lea- gue at 191 pins. In addition to his keen Interes in and ability at bowling, Bud I'orbes was an active fisherman and hunter and a close follower of practically every sport activ- ity in tis community, springing .from his ability as a younger man m many of them. The sportsmen of this commun- ity have lost one of their keen- est competitors and fans in the passing of Bud Forbes, CENTRALIA WANTS IN The petition of both Centralia and Chehalis for transfer from the sotAhern to the northern divi- sion of the Southwest Washington high school basketball conference recently was rejected by a mail ballot of the seven present mem- bers of the Northern Division, ac- cording to Principal George Her- sues of Shelton, although Shelton's vote favored the request of the two Lewis county schools. Hermes said he believes Shel- ton's vote was  the lone one in favor of the Centralia-Chehalis switch. Shelton's favorable attitude to the transfer was based on the fact that practically all the northeru division teams play both the Lewis county schools arty(ray, along with the fact that it would be highly preferred to mtother proposed juggling act which would have formcd a "Little Seven" composed of Shelton, Elma Monsano, Ray- mond, ,Chehal!s, Battlegrotmd mad Cmnas. The tremendous amount of trav- eling involved in such a "Little Scve" confe'enee sored Slel- ton s.yew of 1 nTone'%elyle* rues explained, ei,#} thougI fhe size of the schools in the proposed circuit would be more equitable than those in the present division. Although the Centralia-Chcha- Its switch to the northern divi- sion was voted down by mail. Cen- tralia has made another presen- tation for entry into this divi- sion in the last few days and will have Shelton's support when the Southwest Conference holds its basketball 'meeting December 14, Hermes said, As a seven-team unit now, the northern division teams all have two open dates on their league schedules which they customarily fill with non-conference competi- tion anyway, so the addition of Centralia, the Shelton principal argues, will be no added'playing burden on any team. Whether Centralla will have any support other than Shelt0n's ! In its efforts to accomplish the i transfer It desires is somethhtg only December 14 will tell as it is difficult to guess wimt attl- rude other northern tqlvlbl0n members will take on tim mat- ter after their recent rejection of both the Lewis county sehools although perhaps they wouhl ac- cept one. Centralia, incidentally, is quite likely to follow Chehalis' example and join the Central League fold for. its championship football com- petition next fall-as the Tigers have not been any screaming suc- cess in the Southwest Washington conference for several years and would like to get into more of their own calibre of compeIition. Chehalis was a welcome addition to the Central League this past football season and gave it con- siderable prestige. Centralia's en- try would swell the circuit to six teams and give it an additional boost in prestige, so don't be sur- prised if the Tigers make a grid- iron switch next fall, whether they manage their basketball transfer or not. NO. MORE TARDINESS Strong measures to get city league basketball games started at their scheduled lmurs were adopted last week when team managers met to shape plans for the coming schedule, taking a leaf out of the bowling claws book in doing so. '' Teams scheduled to play at sev- en o'clock, for example, mfist be ready to go at that time or for- feit their game. They can play with whatever number of men they have on the floor when the referee calls for the tipoff, or for- fdit the managei's decreed. 'Paid officials will be another step forward by the circuit, grid another measure to raise the Calibre ofcity league casaba pfity. Ray Patrick and Norm Hlllyard will be the two main arbiters although they won't lmndle all gmnes. 'Rules adopted by the city bowl- ing association this year penalize the tardy kegeler by forcing his team to use his average for the entire string if he fails to arrive m time to take his turn before tlie first frame is complete, which also means the loss of ten pins handicap. . .
