As the several thousand fans who saw the game will recall, it was a cold, windy night with heavy clouds. Near end of the first half the heavens broke loose and showered the field, and spectators who were not fortun ate enough to have grandstand seats, in a deluge. Bleacher spectators swarmed across the field and crowded into what little grandstand space was avail able and gathered under the caves where the rain dripped down their necks. We overheard, not one, but several, grid enthusiasts say they would stay home before coming out to see another game in threatening weather when grandstand seats wore sold out, as they were Friday night. And we know of sev eral who did not go to the game at all because of threat ening rain and lack of grand stand accommodation.

Phone 2963 It seems to this department it would well pay the high school to enlarge their present grand stand facilities or, better still, erect a cover over seats on the east side of the playing field. Considerably more grandstand room could be made availaole by building onto the north and south ends of the present ac commodations if school officials chose to leave the bleachers on the east side of the field foe student crowds. No doubt the present seating facilities were big enough to accommodate the crowd when they were constructed but the city and high school has cer tainly outgrown the seating arrangements. On many oc casions we have attended games at Medford stadium when the entire seating ar rangement was jammed to overflowing and many hun dreds were left to stand along the end zones or sidelines. It Is probable that nearly every one who was forced to stand would have kicked through with a little more money to be able to buy a grandstand seat if it had been available. Football is a business with Medford high school, just as it is with any other institution hav ing teams and it seems to us it would pay dividends in cold cash to spend enough to con struct additional seuting cover age. Medford's turf field is sur passed by none in ,the state and it seems a shame to spoil this with inadequate seating arrange ments. , Medford is growing and seems destined to become even larger in the near future, which means more spectators will be coming to athletic events at the high school stadium, so why don't school authorities cash in on bet ter teating arrangements? WE HOPE SO Medford Pulls No Punches Coach Al Simpson's Black Tor nado is apparently trying to scare its opponents silly this year, but we don't frighten easily on this side of the Cascades.

At.mllv the Cardinals' hope for n world series In St. Louis next week is about as thin as a dream. The fading champions' only chance would be if the Cubs lose .it least three of their re maining six games. Even then the Missourians would have to sweep their remaining five game-; merely to tie. Barrett Gets Call That Herculean task was squarely before them today as Southworth sent Charley (Red) Barrett, 23-game winner, against the Cubs' Claude Passeau in the final ,iame of the regular season at Wrigley field. It is the last time the two teams meet this year. The Cubs actually fought i t,i,ia vpsterdav to over come Cardinal leads. In the first Inning, the Rccimras openeu ...UK iim runs.

TORNADO DRILLS Medford high's football squad has been undergoing tough drills this week in preparation for their Friday night tilt with Marshfield high school at Coos Bay, Coach Al Simpson said to day. The Black Tornado came through their 68-0 victory over Albany last week without in juries and have been drilling mostly on pass defense the past few days. Several week spots showed up in the Albany game, Simpson said, and steps are under way to iron them out. Al Kircher, towering end who pulled a tendon from his knee in early-season workouts, is re sponding better than expected to treatment and might be ready to go in 10 days or two weeks, the mentor stated.
