TORNADO DRILLS
ON AIR DEFENSE
FOR FRIDAY TILT
Bowerman Plans to Fight
Fire With Fire in Rose
burg Team Looks Better
in Strenuous Workouts
If Medford high school's Black
Tornado loses to Roseburg high Fri
day night under the lights In the
northern city. It won't be because
their pass defense falls them like It
did against Hood River last week.
Or, at least It shouldn't be.
If ever a football mentor drilled
his charges on the art of knocking
down a pigskin designed to connect
with an opposing end or back. Coach
Bill Bowerman of the Tigers has cer
tainly been doing Just that every
day this week. For 45 minutes dally
the second stringers of the Tornado
squad have been firing aerials into
the territory patrolcd by the Messrs.
Bowman, Ettlnger, Grow, Campbell,
Bayllss and other regular backs. At
the same time. Root, Montelth, Wil
son, Miller and other flankmen have
been driving ir from their end posi
tions, rushing the daylights out ol
the football pitcher, a maneuver that
usually causes much unhapplness in
the passing party.
May I'se Air.
Also, from the locks of yesterday's
workout, It appears the Tigers may
he planning to fight fire with fire,
forward pass with forward pass. Rose
burg Is a pass-flinging aggregation,
no doubt about it. Against Lebanon
last week, they connected three times
for touchdowns, all through the
ether. Yesterday. Coach Bowerman
sent his outfit through light scrim
mage sessions on the practice field,
and Ettlnger and Campbell were cut
ting loose with plenty of forward
tosses. Several long shots found the
arms of Jack Bowman, and the llashy
halfback strode to what would have
been scoring ground In a regular
ball game.
Eldon Grow, the reformed guard,
who has been having a little trouble
getting his knees up and his head
down In the customary fullback
manner, looked good. He ripped ofl
several long gains through the mid
dle. The blocking appeared better,
also, as did the ball carriers on wide
sweeps. They clung pretty close to
their Interference, a matter which
was conspicuous by being absent
against Hood River.
Try Punt Formation.
The regular backfield. which con
sisted of Giow at full. Ettlnger and
Bowman at the halves, and Campbell,
quarter, ran more than several plays
from punt formation. Bowerman
stated earlier in the veek that he
believed running plays from that
formation would click. Of course,
the Tigers are not saying goodbye to
thHr colorful Notre Dame shift. The
new running formation Is to be
ised only on occasions: the old back
field style will remain with the
quartet, shifting at times and putting
the ball In play without a shift at
others.
Regular line spread out with Root
and Montelth at the ends. Dan Ehr
hart and Hubert Santo at the tack
les, Wally Erl and Oene Archibald at
the guards, and Prentice, center.
Although suffering from a couple of
broken fingers recetved In the Hood
River encounter. Ehrhart will see
considerable action against the Rose
burg club.
