Rutschman says that North
Eugene high school coach Mel Krause does a great job organizing the All-Star game.

MENTION OF THE ANNUAL Linfield
Varsity-Alumni football game reminds of what Joan Rutschman told us after the
1960 game when hubby Ad played (Hillsboro high had a game the same night as the
alumni game last fall so Ad couldn’t come over for the big battle here.)
Said Joan: “Ad felt pretty good
after the game that Saturday night and we went to the new Dillin Hall to eat
with players and their wives. In fact he didn’t feel badly when we got home and
went to bed that night.
“But the next time he got up
was Monday morning!”
Of
course, reasons for Ad’s stiffness was that he played most of the game when the
Alumni were on offense … And he show a lot of that old time
