No one man on either team could be given credit for any outstanding performance, for they were all out standing. The Medford team was one complete machine geared for vic tory. Nothing but bad breaka and the fierce fighting of the Eurekans could atop the Tlgera. Bill Batea played j a whale of a game at fullback. It haa been many a moon alnce two prep elevens have displayed auch vigorous and well generated running and air attacks. It was stated by many of the fans ot that aectlon that the Medford offenae ' on line plays clicked In comparison with that of an average college team and thae aeronautical attack oy the Eurekans waa something to marvel at. Tigers On Offense Led by "Leaping Leo" Ghelardl, midget quarter, the Tigers kept the Loggera pretty well on the defense throughout the game except for tlie fourth and last part of the second ! quarter. Don Steuart gave an excellent ac : count of himself at the center posi tion. He passed the pigskin back 100 per cent perfect and charged j through the Eureka line time and I again. He blocked a Eureka punt that started Medford on the march ' for their aecond touchdown. Medford started march for the Eureka goal line at the opening kick off. The Tlgsri toog the oval on a mtui of Una olava through tackle for consistent gains. Bill Bates car rying the ball. But they were soon halted when they approached scor ing territory. Eureka took the ball and brought It back to mldfleld. Medford again took the ball and marched down to Eureka a two-yard line, where Ghelardl on an off-tackle play roomed like a bullet through the line for the flrat touchdown. Brown, on an attempted place kick, failed to convert. Eureka Takes to Air In the aecond quarter the Loggers were forced to punt three tlmea to Medford'a once. In the laat two min utes of the second quarter, Eureka opened up with a passing attack that could be matched with that of any collcgo eleven and flew to a touch down and on a double fake reverse, or aomethlng like that, went over for the extra point. At this point the fans couldn't hold themselves any longer. They went wild with excite ment. Aa the Eurekans were on an other march to ti.e goal line the whistle sounded, ending the half. The klckoff of the aecond half marked the continuance of anybody's ball game. Eureka had outpassed the Tigers but the Medford boys gave a better account of themselves on lino plunging. Medford halted for a tlmo the victory cry of the Loggera by smashing their way to two touchdowns In quick successions tn the third quarter. Eureka flcorea Second However, In the fourth quarter, the Eurekans aeemed to take the ag gressive side of the question. On a thrilling passing attack, the Loggers tore down the field for their second touchdown and another double fake reverse scored the conversion. Tho quarter was still early with only three mlnutss gone. Medford elected to kick and Eureka started another pass lng attack that waa cut short by Brown, who Intercepted a pass that, If completed, would have spelled de feat for Medford. But this wasn't the end of the football game by any meana, for the heady little Ohelardl called for a pass on the aecond pley. It waa Intercepted by Ball of the Eu reka team and. with the aid of three of his own team, started on a race for the goal Una. Ohelardl showed them he waa a defensive man as well as an offensive man by getting tan gled In the feet of the Interference men and halting the whole affair.

(AP) Santa Clara university football Broncos remained among the nation's leading unbeaten teams today and thankful for every point of their hard fought 9-0 victory over Loyola here yesterday at Gllmore stadium before 20,000 persons. Santa Clara's touchdown came on the first play of the second quarter when Joe (Salty) Saltino salted away the game by circling left end from tho four inch line. Then with only one minute to play Bob Boashardt completed the Bronco's scoring with a field goal from the 23 yard line. Broncos and Lions had nothing to do with the day's most sensational run. An unidentified boy caught the ball outside the fence after Boss hardt's goal' kick, pivoted and dashed down Beverly boulevard with a crowd after him. He outdistanced all tmrsuers and forced officials to hold up the last minute of play ten minutes while they obtained a new ball.
