POWERS RETURNS TO FOOTBALL After a lapse of fifteen years. Powers High School has returned to football this year. Under the competent coaching of Steve Beck and Bud Michaels the Cruisers won two games and lost four as follows. (There) Bandon J.V.— 19--25 (Here ) Glendale------26-----20 (There) M. Point------54---6 (There) Marsh. J. V,- 45-- 13 (Here) N. Bend J.V.- 12— 18 (There) Oakland ------ 48-- 6 In evaluating the above statistics fairly, one should keep in mind that only two members of the Powers Ball Club had ever played football before and that in no game were the boys held scoreless. football E.

Brady Co-Captain Cruisers Close Season on an Even Keel After a quick glance at the statistics from the 53-51+ and the 51+-55 seasons, one can see little contrast between the two. The 1st year under Coach Steve Beck Powers won 22+ games out of 28. This year Powers won 21 out of 27. Both seasons the Cruisers journeyed to the State Finals, placing 3rd in 1951+ and l+th in 1955. The season is punctuated, however, by the loss of one valuable factor contributing to the Cruisers impressive wins. Powers will lose its heighth via four graduating Seniors: Dean Warner, Richard Spitznass, Gary Hess and Gary Brady. Next years team, at least, will have to depend on what ever facilities are left in order to journey again to Salem for the Finals . Powers 71+ — P. Orford 26 Powers 55 — Brookings 36 Powers 52 G.

VARSITY UNDEFEATED IN SEASON Showing unusual promise for future varsity competition, the Junior Varsity boys, well oiled by coach Bob Bushnell, slid more than easily through a total of 22 victories. The highlight of the season came when Powers chalked up 101 points to defeat the Langlois Junior Varsity. C7 Wolf Pack GETCHELL’S Jeters -1 ingtrje - Sweaters —----s CLOTHING Front row- L.to R.- P.
