Med ford high school's Black Tor nado, showing na&hs of a great. of fenw and displaying a rock -like de fense after the first quarter, whipped the alumni eleven yesterday after noon at the stadium. 18-6, in the Mason's curtain-raiser. ' It took Coach Bill Bowerman's ball elub the entire first half to find its bearings. After falling to score In the first and 6econd quarters, the Tigers opened up with a passing and running attack that swept the grads off their collective feet to the tune of two touchdowns In the third period and one in the finale. The Tigers were forced to come from behind to win. the alumni shoving over a six-pointer In the opening stanza. Margin of high school superiority over the out-of-condltion alumni out fit Is truthfully shown In the first down tabulation. The preppers gath ered in 11. eight from running plays, two from passes and one from a pen alty, while the alumni was being held to four, three on the ground and one through the air. The former Medford stars, boasting a potentially powerful lineup, couldn't stand the pace. Tbey were shorthanded on reserve material and were forced to stay in there and take It the entire game, and it Just couldn't be done. Most of the boys hadn't seen a football for over a year. - However, the grads did manage to generate enough scoring power to reach pay dirt in the first period, moving 3 yards with the aid of an 18-yard gallop off left tackle by Dick Lewis, a pass that was ruled complete on the high school 24-yard stripe for Interference, and a 14-yard blast over center by big Clyde Flchtner that placed the ball on the 10-yard line. Leo Ghelardl and Flchtner then took turns In advancing the ball to the six-inch line where the husky city cop hammered through for the score. An attempted place kick for the conversion was wide. The high school threatened to score twice before the half was over, but failed on both occasions. Red Root, who played a whale of a game at end , dropped a pass from Ettlnger that had touchdown written all over It and Just, before the half ended, another forward toss from Bobby Et tlneer was Intercepted on the goal line. However, the battling Tigers roar ed Into high gear In the third period to grab off their first win of the year. Dan Earheart. tackle, recover ed an alumni fumble on their 32 soon after the third quarter started and. the Tigers moved in. Jack Bow man and Eldon Grow, on smashes at the line, made It a first down on the alumni 18. Jack Hill swept around right end with neat Interference to the 7. A penalty for offside moved the ball to the two-yard stMpe and Grow shot off the weak s'-e of the line for a touchdown, tying the score, Chris Barker's attempted dropklck for the extra point was wide. A few seconds later the Tornado had Its second touchdown, and tt was Red Root, making up for his previous mlsplay on a forward pass, that did part of the work. After Dick Lewis of the- alumni had punt ed out to his own 25-yard line. Shorty Campbell, who had gone In for Bobby Ettlnger. whipped a 20 yard pass Into the extreme right hand comer of the end zone and Root hauled It down for the score. A running play failed to add the extra point and It was 12-6 for the Tigers. Campbell started the Bowermanltes on the way to their third score shortly before the game ended. Tak ing a punt on his own 39. he raced back 17 yards to the alumni 44. Bobby Ettlnger. back in the game, lined a bullet pass to Don Monte) th and the latter was finally downed on the 11 yard line. Jack Hill picked up nine yards on a reverse over right tackle. and then proceeded to hammer over left guard for the touchdown. Chris Barker again failed to convert with a dropklck. and the score was 18-6. where tt remained as the losers vainly tried to connect through the air In the closing seconds. Dtck Lewis and Malcolm Stlne were outstanding In the alumni backfield. both tearing off several nice hunks of territory. Leaping Leo Ghelardl was completely bottled up, but Clyde Pichtner ripped through the high school line several times for substan tial yardage. In the alumni line, Lloyd Hnmmack turned in a great defenflve game. Ft thr Tier:. Hubert Snnto and Footba"Score8 Friday NIgbt Games (By tbe AsMM-lated Press) Dunsmulr 12; Klamath Falls 6.
