Medford and Ashland high
schools, football rivals for over
half a century, will clash on the
Medford Stadium turf tonight,
beginning at 8 o'clock. A win
will clinch the Southern Oregon
conference championship for the
Yiace with two wins and no de-t
feats, if Asniand snould win, the
league would end in a tie. The
Grizzlies currently have won
one and lost one. Grants Pass
Is now tied with Klamath Falls
for the cellar spot,' each having
'Won one and lost two,
Al Simpson's gang will out
weigh Ashland about 22 pounds
to the man for the annual tilt.
Medford's line will tip the
scales at 182 pounds average
while the Grizzly forward wall
will average 158. Medford's
backfield figures out 184 pounds
while the Ashland backs average
165.
It will be a case of the T-for-mation
against the double wing
when the two bitter rivals get
together. Ashland's offense,
wnue not carrying much weight
for power plays, is tricky and
their forward pass attack is
something to watch when it is
clicking.
From now on out thp rhln. nra
down as far as Medford is con
cerned. If the Tornado loses to
night they will hang up their
suits and start basketball prac
tice Monday. If they win, how
ever, they will open negotiations
With North Rpnri fnr n r,lavnff
game next week to determine
me district champion. North
Bend meets powerless Coos Bay
tonight and also must win to be
in consideration for the play-off.

Durham, N. C, Nov. 9 (U.PJ
A chastened group of golf pro
fessionals teed off today in the
opening round of the Durham
JayCee open still talking about
the five-stroke victory of Ama
teur Cary Middlecoff in the
North-South open yesterday.
Middlecoff, a 24-year-old army
lieutenant, was expected to play
today and was made a favorite
along with Denny Shute of
Akron, O., and Ben Hogan, Her
shey. Pa., professionals who fin
ished second and third at Pine
hurst yesterday.
Consistently accurate putting
gave Middlecoff, a Memphis re
sident, his 280 score eight un
der par and five better than
Shute, who carded a 70-75 for
the final 38 holes. Middlecoff
made the morning 18 holes in 69
for his third straight sub-par
round, and then had a par 72
in the afternoon. He had one
eagle and three birdies.
Hogan carried a final-day 73
73 for a 286 total and third pltce.
' Although Middlecoff won tne
tournament, Shute won the

$1,000 and Hogan $700.

Gaels Eye Bowl Contest
San Francisco, Nov. 9 W.R)
The galloping Gaels of St.
Mary's, only unbeaten college
football team on the west coast,
were a good bet today to execute
a neat reverse and go east for
a Sugar Bowl game date on New
Year's day.
It is the usual order of things
for a standout football team to
come from the south or the east
to play the west coast represen
tative in the annual Rose Bowl
classic at Pasadena, Cal. But
because St. Mary's isn't a mem
ber of the Pacific conference,
the Gaels are ruled out as the
host team.
And that doesn't make the
sponsors of some of the other
bowl games unhappy. Reported
ly under consideration by com
mittees arranging the Sugar,
Orange, and Cotton bowl clas
sics, the team is almost a cinch
to go to one of them if it com
pletes its schedule without a
loss.
And because the Sugar Bowl
has a pleasant precedent for in
viting a west coast team to Its
classic, St. Mary's is figured to
have the inside track for that
game, regardless of what team
may be its opponent.
If the St. Mary's youngsters
finish their schedule without a
loss and go to a bowl game,
Coach Jimmy Phelan will have
to credit the Hawaiian islands
with a big assist. That is because
the Pacific paradise produced his
brilliant backfield duo of Her
man Wedemeyer and Charles
(Spike) Cordeiro, the pair which
sparked the team to its upset
victory, 26 to 0, over Southern
California.
Army, Michigan Seen As Winners Of
Nation's Big Grid Clashes Saturday
Steelhead are taking eggs In
deep holes with best fishing be
ing reported down stream below
Grants Pass, according to Al
Piche in his weekly dope sheet.
A few silverside, of the early
winter run, have been caught
on size five and six spinners at
Gold Ray Dam. The fish are
in fine shape and will continue
to take spinners up to the lat
ter part of January, Piche says.
Salmon fishing at the mouth
of the Chetco river is reported
as good with fish being of aver
age size.
Duck and goose hunting
have been giving sportsmen a
good time and those who have
been to the Klamalh county
hunting grounds claim shoot
ing Is exceptionally good.
Since loads of heavy shot,
such as two and larger, cannot
be purchased, many hunters are
btivintf air rifl shot hv the
! pound and refilling shells by
j hand.
i Factory reports on shells are
to the effect that quotas from
now to the end of the year to
' jobbers, merchants and hunters
, will be doubled, Piche claims.

The mighty Medford's, the

we've ever seen and we've
seen some dandies during
our stretch in California
should do it up brown this

An Associated Press dispatch
from Klamath Falls says that
Klamath Falls was on record as
being in favor of any move that
would bring further gridiron
glory to the great Medford team
of 1945.
Hale Scarbrough, sports edi
tor of the Klamath Falls Herald
and News, suggested that the
Medford team be sent to Soldier's
Field in Chicago, to play the
champion of the tough Chicago
interscholastle league, and offer
ed the opinion that the Tornado
would bring high honors to
Western prep football in such a
scrap.
The Klamath Falls Quarter
back club backed this up with a
resolution giving moral support
to the suggested Chicago game
idea or any other plan for a
match that would give the Tor
nado a chance to win intcrsec
tional honors, according to the
AP story.
We submit a suggestion
mad by the Courier's editor
who would like io see the
Medford team be the Coast
selection for the Rose Bowl
game at Pasadena. Of course,
the Pacific Coast Conference
has this pretty well sewed up,
but they might make an ex
ception this year. We want
io see Souther i Oregon gat a
chance to show the rest of the
country what a great team we
have at Medford.
Lest someone else beat us to
the remark, we hasten to say
that our challenges to other
teams to meet Medford might
be thought of as a "hold your
coat" suggestion on our part,
but we figure the Black Tor
nado has achieved some sort of
a pinnacle in its two undefeat
ed seasons and should be given
national recognition.
MARTINELLI TOPS
IN BATTLE ROM
Angelo Martlnclll wrestled
and slugged his way to a two-straight-fall
victory over Jack
Lipscomb to come out best man
in the battle royal at Medford
armory last night.
Rough Rufus Jones, the De
troit Negro, was the first man
eliminated and was paid only
traveling expenses. Jones didn't
have a chance as the other six
grapplers Jumped on him and
gave him a terrific pummeling.
Next out was Bulldog Jack-1
son, followed by Ernie Piluso,
Gorilla Poggi and Harold (Blood j
and Guts) Davidson. After Piluso 1
was eliminated he returned to
the ring three times to aid Mar-;
tinelli against Davidson and
Lipscomb.
In the ensuing matches, pair
ings determined by elimination
in the battle royal, Jackson and ;
Piluso went to a three round
draw, Davidson took two straight
falls over Poggi in the middle
match and Martinelll won from i
Lipscomb In the main event. '
Martinelli's second fall came on

him in the ropes and wouldn't
let Referee Wally Moss free him.
Nearly 2,500 fans jammed the
armory to witness the best card
of the year.

Medford Is toying with the
proposal that the Tornado get
a post-season game with the Chi
cago city champions, and we
don't doubt but that the red-hot
Rogue River fans would OK the
idea, providing finances and ap
proval of the state high school
athletic association are forth-1
coming. Medford also might j
take up the Spokane Athletic ;
Round Tables challenge for all

Fred Zimmerman in Salem
Capital-Journal:
In spite of their overwhelm-
ing defeat of Bend last Friday
night, Medford high's "Black
Tornado" was not hitting on '
all cylinders, judging by in
sinuations carried in the Mail
Tribune. The writer accused j
the players of some rather
sloppy tackling and reading
of too many flowery press
notices. '
Gosh, aren't some 70-odd
points enough to run up against
out-classed opposition! We have
noticed In every write-up con
cerning Medford's games thai
the southern Oregon champs
take full advantage of every
break In the contest. Evidently
they are excellent ball hawks
for a loose pigskin usually
comes up In the hands of a Med
ford player. Ability to capital
ize on the breaks has brought
the "Black Tornado" a number
of touchdowns this season.
