Upped By Win
Over Coquille
5,000 Watch Black Tornado Defeat Coquille, 6 to .0
AERIAL FROM BOB
wvin frame, what a grand
exhibition of football as she am
played by a couple of top notch
fit The issue was in
doubt right up to the last two
minutes of play, and wnen mai
final gun sounded there prob
ably wasn't one person in the
huge crowd of 5,000 who could
say ho had witnessed a more
thrilling, dramatic and pulse
throbbing clash this season.
Coquille came here with a
remarkable record of not having
been scored on in eight ball
games, while running up an
average of 40 points on their
own behalf per tussle. The Red
Devils came here with the rep
utation of being a fine forward
passing aggregation and boast
ing sn equally potent running
attack. All the kind things said
and written about Spike Leslie s
team were born out.
Everett Smith, right halfback,
nf the finest backs we
hnve seen on the stadium turf
this season. Krantz, lullhacK,
was not far behind. And, that
Coquille line was Just short of
terrific. The entire team was
well-coached In fundamentals,
and showed a very deceptive
attack based on spinners and
reverses, and sharp forward
passes. For a town of 2,700, it
Is remarkable that such a fine
football team could be produced,
Coquille honestly surprised
almost everybody by its bal
ance and polish, and Medford
should be, and undoubtedly Is,
proud uf itself for beating such
a fine club, 6 to 0. The Red
Devils. In this writer's estima
tion, were the strongest team
the Tornado has played this
season, and could give Klam
ath Falls a neat grid lesson.
If this was the last gam
for the Black Tornado, then
the locals have better claim
to the mythical state title
than any other team.
Milwaukle is the only other
logical claimant, and the
Maroons' 13 to 13 tie with
Eugene, which Medford wal
loped 20 to 6, doesn't make
the Tiger claim any weaker.
From a flock of our Ashland
operatives comes word that
Jean Eberhart, the sky-scraping
athletic tutor of Southern Ore
gon College of Education, is go
ing to have himself a basketball
team the coming season.
! Not just an ordinarily strong
' SOCE outfit, these reports re
! veal, but one to make every
1 body forget all about those
super-hoop arrays turned out by
1 Howard Hobson before he
moved up to University of Oregon.
Yes, according to the dope
drifting this way, the 1939-40
SOCE casaba crew will be that
good, mBybe better. With no
football to Interfere this year,
Ebblc's maple court artists have
been going at it full blast for
several months, and the team
is in great shape for its open
ing game against Oregon's de
fending national chnmpions in
Eugene Saturday night.
Eberhart is blessed with fine
players two and three deep at
every position. In fact, there
are so many good men avail
able he is planning to keep two
teams intact and substitute one
for' the other at the proper time.
At the forward spots are
two lettermen George Bul
lion and Jack Kemnitier and
a flock of new aspirants who
are burning things up. George
Bassman, an ex-Maryville,
Col., independent star, and
Bob Mulder, six-foot six-Inch
giant from Vancouver, Wash.,
high, are looking very good,
as are Bob Strickland of Sil
verton and Gene Creiis of
Roseburg.
Big Walt Sethcr, three-year
veteran, is being pressed for his
center position by Everett Fox,
a transfer from Oregon and
former Belfountain high all
stnte player. His brother, How
ard Fox, a Monmouth transfer,
will be available for action after
the fall quarter.
Jean has a horde of excellent
guards working out, including
Jack Cady and Frank Marchi,
lettermen; Bud Patzke of Bly,
Dick Wiley of The Dalles, Char
ley Warren, tiny ex-Ashlnnd
high flash; and Jake Fischer of
Oakridge, who played with Lad
die Gale In high school.

Bill DeLancey, who four years ago was sent to Arizona with
a lung ailment so serious doctors feared he would never play
baseball again, will Join the St. Louis Cardinals next spring.
Bill is shown near Phoenix with his favorite horse. The 27-year-old
catcher wrote the Cards' president "not to expect too
much, and you might get a pleasant surprise."
Mcdford's dream of a place
in the Oregon prep football sun
came true yesterday when the
Ulack Tornado, with one, sharp
scoring thrust in the early mo
ments of the fourth quarter,
shattered the undefeated, un
tied and unscored-upon record
of Coquille high's Red Devils.
The score was 6 to 0.
It was a 34-yard aerial play
that brought victory to Medford
and sent a majority of the 5,000
spectators into a frenzy of ex
citement an unerring 14-yard
pitch from Left Halfback Bob
Ncwlnnd to Right Halfback Bil
ly Piche, who dashed 20 more
yards to cross the goal line after
folding the forward pass to his
bosom.
It was a thrilling climax to a
tough, hard-socking ball game,
and It sent the Medfords rocket
ing to the pinnacle of tne state's
high school football machines.
The Black Tornado, now can
grip the mythical championship
with an almost unchallenged
firmness.
One Drive Slopped
Until that fourth-period touch
down of the Tornado's it ap
peared that the gallant Red Dev
ils of Spike Leslie, living up to
their terrific reputation tn every
respect, were destined to check
Bill Bowerman's Tigers to a
scoreless deadlock.
Once before, in the first quar
ter, a Medford scoring drive had
faltered when the Coquille for
ward wall rose up to halt the
advance on the 14-yard line, and
all through the second period
and most of the third the Tigers
experienced difficulty in consis
tently piercing the line which
hadn't yielded a point in eight
straight games.
Finally, near the end of the
third stanza, the Medford for
wards started breaking Newland
and Piche loose into the secon
dary, and the Tornado's touch
down drive got under way.
It was actually born when
Bob Leonard, left end. recov-
red a Coquille fumble on Mcd
ford's 27-yard line. In exactly
eight plays the Tornado roared
73 yards to get those six big
tallies.
After one pass was Incom
plete, Newland broke off Co
quille's left tackle and rambled
13 yards. Piche then circled his
own left end for 12 more to the
Coquille 48 as the third quarter
ended.
Another pass was incom
plete, then Newland got two
around left end and Piche
ripped off seven on a reverse
around right end. Ike Orr ham
mered center for five, and it
was a first down on Coquille's
34-yard stripe.
Came the payoff. Newland,
receiving, the ball from cen
ter, ran several steps to his
right, faded back and fired
into the right flat, where
Piche was all alone. Billy gob
bled it up and was away to foot
ball heaven. Only one defender
barred his path Quarterback
Johnny Shambo and the right
halfback faked him out of po
sition and flashed into the end
zone.
Kick Blocked
It didn't matter that Right
Guard Johnny Williams, a
bright star in the Coquille line,
crashed through to block Piche's
attempted place-kick for the ex
tra point. Those six markers
were enough.
Although they were plenty,
the Tornado apparently wasn't
satisfied and launched another
drive that was stopped by the
game's end, on the Coquille 10
yard line. After Coquille punted
to the Medford 20-yard line.
Newland broke away for a 45
yard broken-field run. longest
of the game, but the Tigers
were set back 15 yards for un
necessary roughness. Newland
and Orr picked up 15 yards,
then Newland tossed a 13-yard
pass to Louie Thurman. In four
smashes at the weary Coquille
line Newland gained 14 yards,
placing the leather on the 10.
Before another play could be
called the struggle was over.
Only once did Coquille threat
en the Tornado goal line. In the
first quarter, after holding for
downs on their own 14, the Red
Devils manufactured a power
drive of 78 yards that reached
the Tiger eight-yard stripe in
the early seconds of the second
period. However, an attempted
place kick on fourth down from
the 11-yard line by Everett
Smith, right half, was wide, and
the Tigers took the ball on their
own 20. Two slashing runs by
Ike Orr, of 27 and 18 yards,
jerked the Medfords out of the
hole.
That Coquille drive was a
honey, the Red Devils operating
from a shallow double and
single wing and springing
Smith, Dee Krantz and Ted
Schaer into the open for nice
gains. Smith, a hard-running,
clever back, got away for gal
lops of 11, 19 and eight yards,
and Krantz, fullback, chopped
off 13 on a spinner through
center.
Place Kick Fails
With the pressure on, Med
ford's forward wall dug in and
pushed the Red Devils back
from the eight to the 11-yard
line. Al Barrow stopped Smith
for no gain on third down, then
Shambo fumbled and recovered,
losing three yards. On fourth
down Smith tried his place kick,
and although the boot was high
and far it was wide by about
ten feet.
In the third period Coquille
clicked with a forward-lateral,
Krantz to Goodman to Schaer,
for 21 yards, and with a forward
from Krantz to Shambo, for
nine more, but they were forced
to punt when the Tiger defense
stiffened. Newland kicked back
for Medford, then both teams in
tercepted forward passes and re
covered enemy fumbles. Leon
ard of Medford dropped the ball
after catching a pass and Ray
recovered for Coquille, but
Leonard made up for his miscue
a moment later by falling on a
fumble by Coquille's Smith, and
Mcdford's scoring march im
mediately got under way from
this point.
Newland Stars
The Black Tornado recorded
an overwhelming advantage In
yards gained, moving 234 on the
ground to Coquille's 88 and 75
through the air to Coquille's 70.
Newland, playing probably the
finest game of his life, accounted
for 120 yards from scrimmage
all by himself, an average of
seven per carry. In addition, he
completed six out of 10 forward
passes and averaged 39 yards in
three punts. Ike Orr ran for 63
yards in 12 tries, an average of
5.2 yards; John Saulsberry piled
up 27 yards from scrimmage in
seven attempts and Piche made
24 yards in six lugs.
Smith -was practically the
whole show for the Red Devils
on offense, ripping off 66 yards
in 12 tries for a 5.5 average.
Krantz got 22 yards for himself.
Coquille made all its yardage on
spinner and reverse plays, dis
playing a deceptive attack with
fine blocking.
Unbeaten in 15 Starts
Outstanding In the Medford
line were Captain Dale Howard,
Aldcn Hibbert and three re
serves, Dean Grimes, Bill Wall
and Jim Wallis. However, the
entire Tiger forward wall
played grand ball, clearing the
way for the backs and holding
tight on defense except for the
five occasions when Krantz and
Smith broke through for runs of
from 11 to 19 yards.
The victory was Medford's
eighth In nine starts this season
and marked the 15th straight
clash the Tornado has played
without suffering defeat. Eu
reka, Cal was the last team to
beat Medford, early, in the 1938
season.
