f ath eleven but will probably be
out-manned, something that
clayed an important part in Ash
land's loss.
On paper, which is no way to
figure outcome of a ball game,
Medford should be 20 points
better than Grants Pass for the
Tornado beat Coos Bay 40-0
while the best Grants Pass could
do was 20-0.
Only light workouts were
scheduled yesterday and today
for Mtdford's undefeated Black
Tornado to allow tre boys ample
time to heal wounds suffered in
their 52 to 7 trouncing of previously-unbeaten
and unscored
on Eueene Friday night.
A number of matches and
rock cuts were received on
the Eugene field which is min
us a single blade of grass. The
game was by far the rough
est so far this year and there
are soveral body bruises to be
healed before another tough
contest, with Eureita here Fri
day night.
Although Bob Watson and
Glenn Bostwick led the Medford
touchdown parade that left 5500
fans aghast, special credit can
be given to no particular Tor
nado player. Those long scoring
runs were made possible by ex
cellent downfield blocking as
well as superb work in the line.

the whole forward wall played
a bane-up game. A surprise to
the Medford fans who saw the
game was the excellent passing
cf Jim Cave, who up until last
Friday had been piaying center.
Cave was shifted to the passing
rpot whenever tho occasion de
manded and tossed several nice
ones, including a 30 yard heave
to Kircher.
The Eureka game will be
no push-over, according to ad
vance dope drifting in. The
Loggers have a host of letter
men back, including all of last
year's second string, which
was Just about good enough
to beat the average small
school. They probably will
rely mostly on a strong pass
ing attack, a department in
which Medford' defense
hasn't been too strong.
The Southern Oiegon League
picture took a decided turn for
the belter over the week-end so
far as Medford is concerned.
Previously-unbeaten Ash land,
which had loomed as a strong
contender, bowed before medi
ocre Klamath Fails by a 13-6
count but Grants Pass loomed
as a formidible foe by trouncing'
