Dick Petermann discusses strategy on phone with Coach Johnson. Defeat finally came at the hands of the district cham- pion, Roseburg, 13-6. South's only score came late in the second quarter when Roche lofred a pass to Ralls who raced for a touchdown on a play that covered 50 yards. Against Willaniette, however, the Axemen roared back for a 28-14 victory. Behind 7-0, the Axe- men tied the score on a 50-yard pass play from Roche to end Rich Brooke in the first quarter. In the second quarter fullback John Porter scored from the two- yard line, climaxing a drive which started with a 56-yard run by Roche. South scored twice in the fourth quarter while Roche halted Willaniettels hopes for a comeback with an interception deep in Axeman territory. In the season's finale, South continued its dominance over North Eugene by defeating them 14-13, making it six victories in as many contests with the High- landers. But the victory required two scores and the halting of a last-ditch North Eugene threat, all in the fourth quarter. Behind 15-0, South was led by Robertson on a 51-yard march for a touchdown. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, the Axemen recovered a fumble on the North 31. South drove for a touchdown and Dick Petermann kicked the extra point making it 14-13. Named to the district's first team were halfback john Roche, guard Wally Kuykendall, and tackle jim Wathey. Guard Gary Pape was placed on the district's second team. Awarded the Simmons Cup as the Most Inspirational Player was john Roche. Fullback John Porter plunges through middle of Thurston line for short yardage. 4
