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.

Smith got a couple at center
and Conner tossed to Smith for

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.

AT SENIOR HIGH
To Accept Navy Cadet Phy
sical Director Post at
Yankton College.
Lome S. Arnold, head coach
of all Medford senior high ath
letic teams since the autumn of
1942, announced Saturday he had
tendered his resignation to the
local school board, effective Nov.
1, in .order to accept a position
as physical director of Yankton
college, Yankton, S. D., where
hs will take over the Instruction
of classes of navy cadets.
Expressing his regret at leav
ing Medford, especially before
the present football season is
completed, Arnold said that ne
gotiations had been carried on
between him and the president
of the college for come time and
that only yesterday he had re
ceived a telegram definitely of
fering him the position.
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."
Remaining ; on the Medford
schedule, after the Eureka game
next Friday, are Bend, Ashland
and Salem, all home games. Hed
rick has about a week in which
to obtain a new head coach
Arnold's resignation also leaves

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

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.
