VARSITY FOOTBALL Triple Toil and Triumph South's football team in 1964, benefiting from intense spirit and drive, achieved a record of five victories and four defeats. The year was marked by the appointment of an entirely new coaching staff with Dave Powell as head coach assisted by Harry johnson and Mike Rose. Mr. Powell played fullback on three Axeman teams while attending South Eugene. As a senior he received the Simmons Cup as the Most Inspirational Player and the Earl jones Memorial Trophy as the best senior athlete. While at the University of Oregon Mt. Powell played on the 1957 Rose Bowl team. After graduation he coached JV sports and was head basketball coach at Springfield High School before coming to South last year. South had difficulties during the first part of the season as a result of lack of experience created by the graduation of most of last year's line and backfield. Injuries to halfbacks john Roche and Dick Ralls further complicated matters. Once the backfreld was intact and the necessary experience had been gained, the Axemen won five of their last six games including victories over Marshfield and North Eugene. The season was initiated against Thurston with a tremen- dous 27-7 victory which South later forfeited because of an ineligible player. Highlighting the action was an excep- tional performance by senior halfback Dick Ralls who gained 189 of the Axemen's 300 yards rushing. Two Colt fumbles and a blocked punt enabled the Axemen to score three touchdowns in the HIST half. Ralls set up and scored the final touchdown by intercepting a pass on his own 15, followed by runs of 52 and 25 yards for the score. 1964 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM, ROW 'l, FROM LEFT: Pete Nilsen, .lim Lambert, Joe Robertson, Darrell Evashenko, Scott Ferguson, John Roche Don Petermann, Dick Rolls, Gary Pape, Dave Smith, Jeff Alpert, Scott Perkins Mox Coley.
