Newspaper Page TextTornado Seen As Tough Foe By Klamath Writer (From Klamath Falls Herald and News) By Malcolm Epley There are four high school teams In the Southern Oregon conference. We have seen three of them Klamath Falls, Ash land and Grants Pass in action, and of course we've heard plenty about Medford. We'll hazard the opinion that this is as tough a circuit as there is in the state, which is in keeping with the rec ord over the years. All of them have been showing up mighty well in early-season games against competition outside the conference. Of the four conference teams, Medford alone has not yet met an opponent in the family. Its first conference squabble comes Friday nigh, against Klamath Falls. Klamath has won one and lost one beating Ashland and losing by a squeak to Grants Pass. Ashland has lost one, and Grants Pass has won one. From here on out, these four teams will be engaging in some tough intra-conference struggles. Build-Up One of the toughest, of course, will come Friday night, when the Medford team Tigers, Black Tornado or Pearpickers, as you like will meet Klamath on Modoc field here. At no time in our memory has a prep team entered the con ference season with such a ter rific build-up as Medford has had this season. Just about everything possible has been done to frighten the wits out of prospective opponents. Billie Hulen, a former Medford sports writer who wields a mean fore finger on the typewriter, is writing prep football for the Oregonian, and Billie, unques tionably with complete sincerity and honesty, has been leading the ballyhoo parade for .the old home team. Meanwhile, the .Medford team has been doing plenty to justify the outcry. It has defeated Eu gene 52-7, Marshfield 40-0, Al bany 68-0, and Eureka 38-0. No Comparisons It happens, however, that there have been no games which afford a scoring comparison be tween Medford and Klamath Falls. They have played no com mon opponents thus far. There -at. you tell a n you. see one? Low price Joes not assure big value unless the Qual ity is there. That is why we recommend genuine Orange Blossom rings.

How tough have been the op ponents which Medford crushed so decisively? Our only answer to that one is in the scores of their other games. We do not have the Eureka record, but here is the season scoring so far for the Oregon opponents of Medford: Eugene? 26, University Hi 0: 24, Springfield 0; 7, Medford f2; 7. Albany 0. Marshfield 0, Reedsport 13; 0, Medford 40; 0, Grants Pass 20; 0, Myrtle Point 13. Albany 0, Medford 68; 9. North Bend 27: 7, Salem 14; 0, Eugene 7. Some years ago, Klamath had a terrific early-season scoring record. Billie Hulen, then writ ing for the Medford Mail Trib une, remarked that Klamath had done a lot of scoring, but that lt nnnnnents weren't too hot that anybody could make touch downs through a paper Dag. s we recall, the Klamath-Meriford game thereafter turned out a scoreless tie. No Belittling We do not intend here to at tempt to belittle the Medford record and prospects. They speak for themselves, and they are most impressive. . But it is just as well to point out that the Black Tornado, Tig ers and Pearpickers are mere humans, just in case the build up may have produced some other ideas hereabouts. It would be foolish to intimate to the Klamath Pelicans that they are not up against a most formidable opposition. They are. But there have been many occasions when the mighty have been upset in football, and it can happen again. It's a cinch it will be worth anybody's time watching the Pelicans work at it Friday night. soceTorenew T Southern Oregon College of Education, Ashland, Oct. 18 The Southern Oregon College of Education will resume its invi tational haskethali tournament this year fol'owing a break of hree years caused Dy tne war.
