PAGE SEVEN SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS By Arthur SchoenL What was the biggest thrlU In the past football season for Medford high school? Someone asked us that ques tion the other day, and it took a few minutes concentrated thinking to re call the momenta in Medford high's eight home games that quickened the old pumper. There was the fake spinner play Grants Pass pulled on Medford's gotl line. Pour linemen and backs, run ning wide, decoyed the whole Med ford defense to one side and Prsdey, the Caveman quarter, stepped over the goal through a yawning hole. No one touched him and his touchdown made the score 7-6. Another big thrill came a moment later when the big Medford line crushed Frederick's try for goal, winning the game for Medford. Someone declared they got their biggest thrill out of the 70-yard punt returned by little Olllnsky In the Eugene game which Medford won, 19-0. lis took the kick on his own 30-yard line, near the east sidelines, pranced down the chalk mark for 10 yards, cut across the field, eluded or tore away from four Eugene tacklers, sidestepped the safety, v-ho was block ed out by Llndley. and went over for the touchdown Thrills usually are connected with hard-fought games, and none of Medford's this fall were close, aside from the Grants Pass game. e For concentrated thrills, give us the Southern Oregon Normal game against Monmouth Normal, with Its trick plays, towering punts, long passes, and stubborn defense. The biggest one of the day was Frank Sapp's sensational catch of a 50-yard forward pass from Claude Hlnes over the goal line. Hlnes was standing on his own 47-yard line and rifled the pigskin downhill to his end, who leaped high In the air and caught it in his fingertips, over his shoulder, on a dead run. Normal's gallant re covery after a stunning three-touch--down rout In the first period is worthy of praise In any man's news paper. Tabloids.
