f .. .J f vs -i X (1 V f-:t;.'. "-'.i--.. S-;." sa-'jr BIGGEST HASSEL OF YEAR gets under way In flurry of fisticuffs during fourth quarter of 49ers-Philadelphia Eagles game at San Francisco. Both benches emptied and field was sprinkled with warring groups before police arrived. Eagles were defeated 31-21. (International) Bob Woods Returns To GP Squad For Friday Fracas With Bedford There was evidence today that the Grants Pass high Cavemen will be at least near full strength Friday when they play host to the Medford Black Tornado grid ders. Biggest news from the Grants Pass standpoint is that Bob Woods, hard-running left half back, will be ready to go against the Tornado. Woods suffered a broken bone in his hand in the Cavemen's opener with Roose velt of Portland. He missed the succeeding two games. This week the cast was removed, an X-ray taken and his doctor said he could play. His addition to the line-up will give the Cavemen a one-two punch potential with which Med ford will have to contend. The other man is Fullback Don Kerns. Stocky Bill Flaming at right half and Jerry Yosten at quarterback are expected to round out the Grants Pass back field. Both are 140-pounders while Woods is listed at 168 and Korns at 176. There's some doubt about the starting ends. It's likely that Mickey Blevins and Sam Dean will get the call. Blevins, how ever, has been troubled by a shoulder ailment and Dean by cold. Second in line are Don An derson and Lloyd Zimm. Probable tackles are Dick Blevins and Dale Tripp with 220-pound Tom Rosemus replac ing Tripp on defense. Guards listed are Jim Lockhart, 190 pounder who did the punting against Ashland. The center will be Dale Jackson. Final preparations were being made today in the Medford prac tice field. Coach Fred Spiegel berg reported the Medford of fense is looking good but said that the defense needs work. Therefore, he scheduled some defense work this afternoon in a last effort to get it functioning properly. He reported the spirit of the Tornado squad high. Spiegelberg listed possible of fensive starters as Dick Pepper and Joe Antony, ends; Don Mc Laughlin and Bob Rasmussen, tackles; Willard Lilly and Bob Steele guards; Norm Chapman, MedfordTribune center; Ed McCullough, quarter back; Alton Stone, left half; Den nis Faulkner, right half, and Lorin Jacobs, fullback. Eager Transfers Bijl French may get the de fensive call over McLoughlin and Dale Gott over Rasmussen. Mike DeVore may replace Bob Steels on defense. Steele has been bothered by an ankle ail ment. Paul Eckel, a guard, has been working as a defensive tackle, and could see consider able action, as could Leslie Walch, linebacker, now in school. A couple of transfers could see a lot of defensive duty.' They are brothers, Fred and Gordon DeVos from Prescott, Ariz. Gor don, 160-pound senior, is a guard, and Fred, 170-pound junior, is a halfback offensively and line backer defensively. Spiegellberg says they are "eager." . Two Medford athletes, Stone and Pepper, are. former Grants Pass athletes. Listed weights show Grants Pass slightly heavier in the line and a shade lighter in the back field, as averages go. Junior High Footballers Slate Opener Here Friday Medford junior high's foot ball varsity goes into action Fri day after three weeks of prac tice. The Bulldogs will be host to Grants Pass. Game time is 3 p.m. The tussle will be on the jun ior high turf. Coach Mel Boldenow, who is being assisted by Bill Shephard, has listed his squad as green. It is hoped that size and spirit will make up for inexperience. The mentor reported a squad with boys of good size this year. In fact, there's better size than there has been for several years. And, that boosts the hopes for the senior high for the next few years. Starters Listed Probable starting line-up, of fensively, for the Bulldogs is Otis Turner and Mike Stearns, ends; Bill Reaves and Mark Parrott, tackles; Terry Miller and Bob Kooser, guards: Dick Swinney, center; John Hawley, BE SAFG All VJIHTGR!

PKoenix Pirates Oppose Crater Friday Afternoon NO FEEDING PROBLEM Barrington, 111. (U.R) An un usual menagerie-with bark but no bite is the property of eight-year-old Cheryl Ann Nesi. The "animals" are unique formations gathered by Cheryl Ann's father, Robert Ness, while on the job as a Davey tree surgeon. Each wooden inmate of the arboreal Phoenix Phoenix high's Pi rates will be out to continue a fine record Friday when they op pose the Crater Comets here in a JDJ League and A-2 district scuffle. Game Time Is 3 p.m. The Pirates have been beaten only once in four years on their home field. This loss was to Rogue River in 1949. Also, the Phoenix gang has scored in every game it has played in the last three years and has been held to one touchdown only twice. Phoenix this year has a good backfield but not much size in the Une. Coach Woodward to Sill Dumps Ventur in Cal Tourney Pebble Beach, Calif. (U.R) Some of the glamor was gone from the California State Ama teur Golf Tournament today, but a lot still remained. National amateur champion Cone Littler entered the second round, as expected; defending champion Bob Silvestri won his first round match; ahd former champion Ernie Pieper, Johnny Dawson and Neil White also moved along. But among the missing was youthful Ken Ventur, the Wal ker Cup star, who was dumped in the first round by Hugh Sill, a Sunday golfer who just whacks the ball around for fun. The winner was even par for the distance. He won by sinking a six-foot putt on the 18th for a par, while venturi missed an eight-footer for a bogey. The other favorite among the big field of 360 that originally tried to qualify for the title flight, Dick Yost, the Pacific Northwest champion, advanced with an easy victory over Styl Stimac of Martinez, Calif. There were only 16 left of the original field. They play one 18 hole match today then two on Friday. That will cut the field to two men for the 36 hole final round on Sunday. make up for this lack of size sends into action his best tack le rs, toughest boys and best fighters. He feels his club will give Crater a whale of a ball game. King, Carrigan Hurt Sickness has hampered the Pirates this week. Back Willie Garner has a leg injury and will be able to play a little on de fense if at all. At Central Point Crater Coach Leonard Warren reported two of his brightest backfield stars side lined. They are Fullback Gordon Carrigan with a ruptured blood vessel in his leg and Right Half Bob King with a badly bruised shoulder. End Kay Kelley was to do the Crater punting in King's place but had his foot hurt in practice last night. War ren is counting upon his line to carry a heavy part of the load. Probable starting Crater back field is Harvey Tonn, quarter back; Vera Parent, left half; Jack Lilly, sophomore, right half, and Dick Walker, junior playing his first football at full back Larry Bigham, inexperienc ed senior, will be called to fill in at any of the positions. The line probably will be Bob Gray and Marv Bohnert, ends; Dick Harnes and Howard Mor ris, tackles; Jim Welch and Adrian Van Horn, guards, and Peto Thompson, center. Back Quits Lilly will see his first defen sive work at halfback. Mason is expected to replace Tonn on de fense to back the line. Bigham is the probable safety. Crater lost another back when Bob Hill quit football to work. Phoenix's likely offensive eleven will be Barry Bohm and Don Blankenship, ends; Otis Blankenship and Allen Cotton, tackles; Dan Goin and Freeman Beck, guards; Roger Puhl, cen ter; Dick Caster, quarterback; Jim Holt, left half;' Delmar Brood, right half, and Alfred Griffith, fullback. Brood was placed at wingback and Holt to tailback to fill in for Garner. Roy Madden is ticketed to go in at end and Don Blankenship moves to linebacker on defense. Jim Korth or Garner will be the other linebacker. Kip Marney, Thursday, October 1. 19SS MEDFORD (OREGON!
