PAGE TWO lF 6 TO 0 ON DfPPEL'S RUN Left Half Sprints 25 Yards to Break Up Rugged Battle 'Pass Threatens. Medford made its lone scoring threat pay off in six big, beau tiful points at Grants Pass Fri day night in a rock 'em and sock 'em gridiron battle that forced the Black Tornado to turn in its best game of the season in order to stop the pass crazy . Cavemen,' 6 to 0 before some 2,500 thrill-gripped cus tomers. The Tigers, bouncing . back hard from the. Klamath debacle, stormed into the end zone in the second period for the only touchdown of the rugged con test, but the frightening mo ments they received throughout the 48 minutes, when the Cave men's Pete Conner cocked hi: pitching arm, was enough to , make them candidates for pad ded cells. ' It was a Steve Dippel "perfect play" that did the work. Enter ing the game early in the second chapter, the speedy left halfback sparked Medford's single potent scoring march and wound it up with a 25-yard sprint over the goal ,line. That was the only important offensive business our boys could transact, but in the end it proved to be sufficient as - they came up with teeth jarring, tackles and enough pass defense in the clutches to keep the knemy at bay. . Held On Coal The Cavemen, smarting from their Ashland defeat, started out like they meant to do some rebounding of their own. Thev went 70 yards the second time they got their hands on the ball in the first quarter, right down to the ' Medford six-inch line , where . the Tigers dug in and held. With Conner, the sharp-shooting left halfback, connecting to Snuffy Smith, quarterback, for aerial gains of 23, 20 and nine yards, and both of them running like fiends, the Cavemen sud denly found themselves on the nine-yard line, first duwn. Here, Medford's 'forward wall really started to sock. H(SE SEASD)Kf Opens Thursday OCTOBER 28 AT THE MEDFORD ICE ARENA . END OF SOUTH GRAPE ST. its , Y,t ; 1 w to m Smith got a couple at center and Conner tossed to Smith for five to the two-yard stripe. Smith belted center for one, and on fourth down the Cavemen went into place-kick formation. However, Smith tried to ham mer it over through right guard and was stopped six inches shy the Tornado taking over. From punt formation, Med ford's Doug Plumley ran it out 10 yards and a moment later Marvin Doty punted 29 yaras and, the first, and by far the most serious Grants Pass threat, was history. , Fumble Recovered Early in the second quarter the Tigers launched their game winning operation, after an ex change of punts. Lloyd Balder ston, starting his first game at left guard, recovered a Grants Pass fumble on the Medford 49. Bob Watson and Plumley picked up 11 in two tries for a first down on the foe's 40 and Dippel, who didn't start the game be cause of a leg injury, was sent in at left half. He made three around right end, Watson added four at the other flank, then Dippel raced wide around right end to the 21-yard line. Dippel picked up a yard at left end, but an offside penalty set the Tornado back on the 25. With Right End Gil Tumy playing very wide and drawing the defensive left halfback out with him, Dippel took the leath er behind grand interference and swept right end. It was a dandy run; he weaved, dodged and side stepped the secondary and out ran it into the extreme right cor ner of the end zone. Watson's placekick for the ex tra point was inches Wide to the left, after, Medford had drawn a five-yard penalty for taking too much time in putting the ball in play for the try-for- point, an extremely technical ruling in view of the fact the ball was slippery, the turf mud dy and soggy and cleats of the players were caked with mud. That ended Medford s scoring bids for the evening. The onlv other times they penetrated Grants Pass territory was in the third period, going to the 42 and the 35 only to lose the, ball on downs. - Cavemen Dangerous The Cavemen threatened in ev ery quarter but'the third. In the second they were forced to punt on the Medford 34 and in the same period they reached the 35. from which point Watson . inter cepted a dangerous pass on his own 12. In the fourth heat, with Con ner flinging them all over the lot, they moved down to the Medford 12, where they lost the ball on .downs. And, in the last minute of play, they were on the Medford 38.

Ev ery time he cut loose it was a potential touchdown, and this with a ball slick as an eel. Smith did the running for the Case men, accumulating 62 yards on 12 carries. Medford stuck strictly to the ground, where they ran up 138 yards to Grants Pass' 88. Dippel playing about half the game, gained 59 yards in 13 tries; Plumley got 35 in 11 and Watson 33 In 10. The Tigers tried only three passes, completing one for one yard. - Both teams suffered numerous penalties, Medford losing 60 yards and Grants Pass 45. Eanh drew a pair of 15-yarders, which hampered them at Important moments.

He said he and his family would leave here shortly after Nov. 1 In order to report at Yank ton Nov. 12. He will be here all this week and continue working with the Black Tornado football squad, which plays Eureka, Cal. here next Friday night. Although not taken complete ly Dy surprise, as ne Knew oi the possibility Arnold might leave, E. H. Hedrlck, city school superintendent, said Saturday that he had no statement to make at the present time as to a suc cessor for Arnold. - "I can make the assurance. however, that the football sched ule will be completed," he de clared. "The team will carry on, and although Arnold's departure is going to hurt we must take it philosophically. We regret very much losing him, as he has done a fine job here, but we could not stand in the way of his ac cepting a better position."

(U.R) For the fifth straight Saturday, the mighty pummeled the weak on college football gridirons to day, and with few .exceptions the so-called big games were duller than dime store knives. Army, Notre Dame, Pennsyl vania, Purdue and Tulsa had to pull theair punches as usual to keep final scores from being embarrassing. Several of the select set of 16 unbeaten and un tied teams fejl from the ranks, nowever. Army's fifth straight victim was luckless Yale by a score of 39 to 7, but the losers found a good deal of consolation in be ing the first team of the season to cross the Cadet goal line. Notre Dame kept its regulars benched and blanketed most of the time, yet wheeled to a 47 to 0 victory over Illinois. Penn sylvania's coach, George Mun ger, under fire from the Ivy league mentors for being too offensive-minded, obviously had his team under wraps in its 33 to 0 victory over Columbia. Purdue's time bomb attack exploded late as it did last week and the Boilermakers won 27 to 7 from Iowa for their sixth straight triumph. . Tulsa simply had too much too often for a visiting Utah eleven, which was buried beneath a 55 to 6 score.
