Athletic Review Football HE 1935 Football Season which was the first year that the Oregon City Pioneers entered the Multnomah-Clackamas lnterscholastic League competition proved to be the silver lining in a dark cloud. At the start of the season, Coach Leonard Mayfield had only four lettermen to work with, two of them backfield men and two of them linemen. However, Coach Mayfield had a large turn-out from which to choose and all the boys were willing to work and learn and they knew nothing of defeat. The dogged fight and determination of this grand combination which never gave up hope carried them through many stiff games and finally their do or die spirit was rewarded with the championship trophy of the Big Nine League. The untried and green eleven won five out of the nine scheduled games. The season's play on our own Kelly Field was much improved by the moving of the gridiron closer to the grandstand and an improvement in the lighting system. This season was the second for the Pioneers playing their home games at night. under the fioodlights. Oregon City 6 Hood River 31 journeying to Hood River for the second game of the season, the locals received their worst set-back of the year as they were unable to stop the veteran Applepicker aggregation. The Pioneer lone score came when Burgess scored on a pass. Oregon City I3 Gresham 2 This game was one of the most thrilling football battles seen on Kelly Field last year as the locals trailed 2 to 0 until the last three minutes of the final quarter when the Pioneers pushed across three touchdowns one of which wasn't counted. Oregon City 0 Milwaukie l9 The first real stunning set-back the locals received was at the hands of Milwaukie on Kelly Field as the Maroons were unstopalmle. This game was a double tragedy since Otto VVehling, letterman blocking halfback, and stellar performer for the Pioneers, broke his collar bone late in the game and was eliminated from further play. Oregon City 20 Hill Military 6 On the Rock Butte gridiron the red and white local eleven had little difiiculty in downing the Hill Military Academy Cadets to win their third Big Nine contest. Oregon City 7 St. Stephens O The deciding contest in the championship play was the one in which the locals defeated St. Stephens. The game saw brilliant offensive and defensive work contributed by Ben Gawlista, newly found hard plunging fullback. Oregon City 0 XVest Linn 12 For thclfirst time in' six years the roaring West Linn Lions defeated their hated rivals across the river. The Pioneers were unable to stop the bigger and more experienced west side eleven on a field of mud.- Oregon City 7 Sandy 6 The most exciting and thrilling game seen on Kelly Field for many a year saw the Pioneers win a lone point margin game over the high stepping Sandy boys. The locals played brilliant ball and again it was Gawlista that scored the touchdown and converted. Oregon City 0 Hillsboro 19 ln the final game of the year, the Pioneers were unable to stop the hard charging, fast stepping, Hillsboro eleven on the latter's field amidst a downpour of rain, There were twenty-two boys awarded letters for their performance during the season, they were: Alford, Barnum, Buck, Burgess, Cushing, Deklacon, Estes, Gates, Gawlista, Greenslitt, Groener, Heiden, Jeffries, Johnson, Lind, McCudden, Mrak, Quinn, Rost, Snidow, Wehling, and Vvoodward.
