STURDY LINE WAS KEY TO HIGHCLIMBER SUCCESS
Now that the weatherman has
fouled up the climax to Shelton's
football season by forcing cancel-[
lesion of the Mt. Vernon game last
week, it's time to recap this most
successful of all Highclimber grid
schedules and see what made it so.

Offensively, Capt. Gene White

Cardinal Key To Defense
If any one player was more re.
sponsible for the success of the
1946 line and its improvemen over
the 1945 line that credit would
properly belong to Cardinal. 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. 'Koch
played a lot' Of ball as a sopho-

sportsmen met an untimely death to complete,
last weekend when Bud Forbes
was killed in tn automobile wreck
iu Taconm.
[ 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

day night and ranked well *tP
with the leaders ia the aver-
age. lie also captained the Reed

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
