Indications are that the crucial
Orants Pass-Medford football game
on the senior lilnh school turf field
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock will
come close to shattering attendanoo
records for the past several seasons,
with the battle apparently to settla
the southern Oregon conference
championship. Orants Paaa haa al
ready disposed of Klamath Fall and
ABhland, leHVIng only Medford as
stumbling block.
The Tigers have not yot met either
Ashland or Klamath Palls, and to
morrow's gume will be the first regu
lar conference struggle for them, the
Roseburg outfit defeated by Medford
earlier In the season having practi
cally withdrawn from competition
with othor southern Oregon schools.
Despite the fact that the Black Tor
nado has faced no conference oppo
nent, they aro rated as powetful as
the Climate City squadron and the
game Is expected to be the meeting of
two strong offenses.
I'assca to Feature
Orants Pass will use a double back
flrld shift, will undoubtedly rely
strongly on a short shovel pass over
the line of scrimmage (a play that
has gained them much yardage in
earlier games), a crushing line at
tack, and a brilliant passing comm
nation. Paced by a vastly heavier team.
Medlord will awing away from
straight power plays In all proba
bility and Intersperse their attack
with dazzling laterals, reverses and
spinners, as well as a forward pass
ing attack, Olsen to Wilson or Boot.
Olsen will not be the only pltohef
In the game for the Tlgera. however,
Maruyama having proved a dead eye
In hurling the apple to teammates. .
Coach Boworman announced today
that ho would not substitute by
teams as he has done In the past, few
games, but will substitute only In
dividually. In drill last night the
iunnri tnsm snarked on defense but
their offensive was slumped although
several played oustandlng football.
Lack of work on offensive lorma

Chinese pheasants are queer birds.
Last evening, hunting' with Bob Gil

ant lore, the situation amazed us,
who always believed pheasants were
obsessed with staying on the ground
except when flying to some other bit
of ground to keep from being step

Now we dlscovor that Chinese
pheasants have a penchant for trees
at certain times of the year, the time
being Just nfter somebody has sprlk
led them with shot. Ken Murray, who
lives about five miles out on the
Crater lake htgnway, reports that he

birds crowding each other for a foot

Another thing we've learned
this year Is thnt farmers are sur
prisingly lenient about letting
huhters roam their fields, even
when those fields ore posted, If

course, It Is foolish to ask a farm
