Medford's Bob Watson scored the first touchdown in the third period but missed the extra point. With eight minutes of the game left Wasch scored for Grant and Davis booted a perfect kick from placement to give his team a one-point mar gin. Medford opened up with a series of long passes, Ross to Bostwick, which carried them to the visitors' five yard stripe when the final gun cheated the Black Tornado out of another touchdown and gave them their first defeat in two years. Other events for the holiday were the annual firemen's dance at Merricks, special church serv ices and of course, the many family dinners.

James, S2c, written to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Al Nordquist, 227 South Central avenue. James, who attended school in Medford, is serving a four year period with the navy and is now stationed at Eniwitok in the Pacific. Aboard a submarine chaser off Okinawa at the time of the storm, James wrote of the inci dent in part: "Since the first typhoon of Sept. 26 we were on guard. We immediately lashed all loose gear down and got ready for sea. All at once the dolphin tore out of the water and we and four (other) ships went sailing. We cut all our lines and started on our own. Katina Ko Is a bay about 2 by t miles and only one small outlet. There were about 40 ships in here and lines were being cut and dol phins uprooting all over the place. "Since we couldn't anchor we had to keep going and there was no place to go except forward 50 yards and back 50 yards. The wind was blowing us one way and we were trying to go the other. Toward 5 o'clock things quieted down and we saw we were right next to the reef. Wc finally anchored. We had lost our anchor and three lines and two tons of paint off our sides. "I grabbed a pair of spy glasses and looked around the bay. There was a 1245 high and dry and an SC sitting on the road that the army had made for driving, not for sailing. Landing craft were all over the place. You could see small ships beached along the coast. It was our second typhoon and two too many." PRAISED BY PATTON Canon City, Colo.
