Although a wet ball will preclude any grunt amount of aerial tactics, the Tornado has also re ceived lots of pans defense work.

Here in local prep circles, Medford's Black Tornado swings Mlly Hate from the cel lar at the Grants Pass Cavemen to morrow night. If the haymaker connects, stretching the Climate City lads for the count. Coach Bill Bower man's ball club becomes undisputed conference champions. In case the wily Orants Passers duck and coun ter with their own KO wallop, the title swings to Klamath Falls, where TSnowy Oustafson's Pelicans. all washed up for the year, await anxi ously the outcome of the squabble. The battle Is at Grants Pass. Coach skeet OToniiell's Ash land high Grizzlies wind up their In-and-out season against Uni versity high of Eugene on the Ashland gridiron, tomorrow afternoon. Only a miracle ran keep the Ashlands from ending Ihelr campaign In winning rash Inn. University high ts rated one of the weaker Oregon elevens. Upon the outcome of the Stanford- California "big game'' at Palo Alto Saturday hinges the Pacific Coast conference championship and prob able Rose Bowl selection. A victory for the Golden Bears will send them into the Pasadena classic undefeated, although tied once. A win for the Indians will deadlock the conference race, necessitating a vote by members as to the coast representative. In the east, Yale and Harvard meet in their annual brawl, with a- possi ble Bowl bid at stake for the Bull dogs. Led by All-Amerlcan Clint Prank. Yale, will attempt to keep Its record clear of defeats. A victory over Harvard will skyrocket the team tO a position Of SerlOUS COntntlnn for the east's Pasadena nominee. although an agreement between Bis Three members Is strictlv iMimt post season games. AHhuugh no championship is at stake, another feature clash on the coast sends Oregon's Wen foots against the Inlversltv of Washington Huskies at Seattle. We honestly believe that this' game will go a long way toward deciding whether or not Trlnk Calllson gets another chance at 1 Eugene. A win over Washington will undouhtedlv sllenre the whispering campaign against Prink, while a los, especially If it Is overwhelming, will prob ably change the whispers Into howls. The same may hold true of the Huskies' Jknmy phelan, who Is having a sweet time trvlng to get off the spot In Seattle. We see where Hood River la chal lenging Bend's Lava Bears to a game to decide the eastern Oregon cham pionship... Our modest advice to Mr Jimmy Carr of the apple town would be to forget about football for anoth-j er year if he can't think of anyone better to play than John Londahl's Bend outfit. We saw them both play Medford. Hood River was lucky tol win, 14-13. Bend actually toyed with the Tl gers In copping. 33-7. And Harold Hauk of the Salem high Senator can consider himself a very lucky football coach that the Bend-Saleml game didn't pan out. To go over board 100 percent, we hereby go on record by predicting that If Bend plays Jefferson high of Portland Thanksgiving Day, or any other Port land team, the Lava Bears will wftil by four touchdowns. If the field IH dry. Two touchdowns, if muddy. Following the Grants Pass -Med ford J game Friday night, the Mall Trlbunel will start collecting data from coaches! and sports writers In Medford. Ash land, Granta Pass and Klamath Falls for its fourth annual all-Southern Oregon conference football teams first and second.

As always. the Mail Tribune will Issue first and second team award cards to the play ers chosen.
