TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Tornado Spirit Rises For Marshfield Fray Medford hiah's eridiron squad still had Its, cripples but spirit seemed to be on the upward trend yesterday , as . the Black Tornado went through its' third TICKETS HELD , About 200 immd seat tickets for tha Medford-Marsh- ' field football gam at Coos Bay ar being saved for Med ford high fans. They will be held back up to 6 p.m. Fri day and can be obtained up . to that time at the Marshfield high school office. After 6 p.m. the reserves will be placed on general sal at th gal. : day of .hard, determined prac tice for its : mammoth engage ment on Friday with the Marsh field Pirates.; ' The Tornado blows into the Golden Pirates' den at 8 p.m. at Coos Bay on Friday in one of Oregon's major prep attractions of the week end. Medford's squad drilled under game situations yesterday and Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg re marked. "I think the boys are pretty determined." He report ed that the boys were sparked up, a change over Tuesday when things did not go too sharp. The head man indicated that the main worry; of the Tornado Is fortifying its defenses to halt the high-geared attack of Marsh field, which is augmented by a tough, heavy line and fast backs. "I think our offense will go," Spiegelberg said. But hope was high for a dry field Friday night to make it click . better. Marshfield already this year has shown itself a good "mud" team. Jacobs To B Back Another Medford problem was bolstering its forces both at a backfield spot and In the line. Lorin Jacobs, regular fullback and linebacker, was still in Sa cred Heart hospital last night because of a leg infection. He was to be released today but still has missed three workouts this week. Bron Oslesby has taken over the fullback burden in practice and may Btart In place of Jake. Dennis Miller; Junior Jayvee, has been brought up to strengthen the spot. The Medford crew lost some of Its reserve depth at tackle when Jim Link iniured his knee Tuesday. Dave Peterson likely will see heavier duty because of this. ' There Is a brUht spot In the defense picture desolte worries. While the Pirates line regulars will have an edge on Medford's, the Tornado can throw In some beef from its reserves, among them Peterson, Bill Dyer, Neil Plumlcy and Gary Shafer all of whom have been doing wen, Xastner Bruised Likely offensive opening crew for Medford will be Bud K.ast- ner and Gordon McVay, ends; Ken Piland and Les Walch tackles; Paul Eckel and Monte Hoist, guards; Mike DeVore, cen ter and Ed McCullough, Rocky Stone, Mike Hawkins and Opels by, backs.

Elk Season To Open on October 30 Portland The quest of cer- vus canadensis is about to begin, which freely translated means that elk hunting season in Ore gon begins October. 30 Generally, lhev whole , state opens next Saturday, but there are many boundary lines bctwen the areas that should be check ed in the hunting synopsis. The main areas opening are: Clatsop and' Columbia counties, the coastal area, Cascade area. and northeastern and southeast ern areas. Also included in the hunting synopsis is a listing of the bag limits which vary from one elk of either sex to one bull with three points or better on one antler. . Prepar for Snow - The areas open for either sex elk hunting offer the least pros pects for the hunters, however, since they are not areas where there are large numbers of the animals, or in the case of the' Clatsop, Columbia county area. the country Is extremely dilii- cult to hunt. Best prospects are in Union, Wallowa, and Grant counties as in the past, However, hunters should remember that these areas are very apt to get snow before the season ends and Iflhmilri Vtp nrermred for the worst type of weather, y.. Game commission reports In dicate good elk populations in most of the better elk ranges, and hunter success is expected to be equal to last year. , Chiefs Host To Oakland Rogue River Coach Tinker Hatfield has reported that his Rogue River Chieftains, out of the state B toga running, will De out to win their grid fray here Friday as if they were actually contending for district honors. They mix with Oakland here at 8 p.m. The Oaks are District 4B champs and the tangle win afford a comparison between the clubs of Districts 4 and 5 al though settling nothing. Oak land last week end clubbed Powers 48 to 6. Hatfield said his Chiefs will enter action in better physical shape than they have had for some time. The club went through a two-hour scrimmage on Wednesday. Full game con ditions prevailed and the greens, largely first stringers won 12 to 2 over the Reds. The possible Rogue line-up against the Oaks is Clcte Dally and Bill Weaver, ends; Don Doo- litlle and Truman Drew, tackles; Del McKcnzle and Gary Phil lips, guards; Lloyd Morrow, cen ter, and Jack Herbergor, Ted Stanflcld, Roland Prelountaine and Gary Johnson. ' Hunters Asked To Send In Deer Report Cards ; During Next 30 Days Portland Now that many hunters have completed their hunting for the year, it comes time to dig down into the desk drawer or billfold for 'that post card sized piece of paper called a hunter report card. The game commission is ask ing all hunters to send in their report cards so that an accur ate count and complete details of the deer kill for this year can be obtained. Pott Card Will Do In case the card has been lost, a post card containing; the pertinent information will suf fice. If a regular post card is used, it should have the following in formation: number of days hunt ed, type of deer killed (buck, doe, fawn), number of points on each antler in the case of a buck, county hunted, and landmark near which the deer was killed. Hunter should then sign the card and mail it to the Oregon State Game Commission, Port land, Ore. The commission has urged hunters to return these cards within the next 30 days. I Thursday, October 28. 19S4 Clevelanders Show Need Of Defense . By EARL WRIGHT . United Ptms Sports Writer The Cleveland Browns are the latest example of the importance of a good defense in the Nation al Football league, Otto Graham, Cleveland s master passer, is throwing Just about as well as last year when he won the ; league , passing championship while leading the club to its fourth straight East ern Division title. He has completed 61 of 93 throws for 876 yards and eight touchdowns. . . He has averaged 9.42 yards per throw in four contests and the Browns .have averaged al most 26 points per game. That's only about four less than they averaged while sweeping their first four games last year. But they have only a 2-2 rec ord this season. The difference is in the defense. Cleveland's four opponents this season have averaged more than 23 points. Last year, the team's first four rivals averaged only slightly more than eight points. . Sunday the Browns meet the New York Giants, who lead the league in scoring with 161 points while allowing 75. Injuries Blamed Jack Lavclle, New York scout blames a big portion of Cleve land's defensive trouble on in juries that have hampered safe- tyman Ken Gorgal and the re tirement of middle guard Bill Willis and line-backer Tommy Thompson. - '!When Willis was in there. they had nothing to worry about from tackle to tackle and he knew when to drop back to de fend against passes,". Lavelle said. "And Thompson was a tremendous linebacker." -' One player doesn't make a team but It's interesting to note that the Browns haven't beaten a top-notch opponent since Thompson was injured in Pitts burgh last Nov. 22. . This week's selections with re cords in parentheses: Saturday night: Eagles (4-1), over Packers at' Philadelphia. Sunday: Forty-Niners (4-0-1), ov er Bears (2-3) at San Francisco; Rams (2-2-1) over Lions (3-1) at Los Angeles; Browns (2-2) over Giants (4-1), at Cleveland; Steel ers (4-1) over Cardinals (0-5) at Chicago; Redskins ' (0-5) over Baltimore (1-4), at Washington.

Christenberry of the New York State Athletic com mission wilt propose Friday that the state discard at last its "back-stopped" round by round scoring system for 'fights and adopt, instead, a simple three point method. - - Friends of the chairman say the proposal will be adopted im mediately and that Christenber ry will launch a campaign in London next month for world wide acceptance. The new three-point system will score as follows: No points to the loser of a round; no points to either fighter when a round is even; one point to a round winner .by a modest margin; two points for an excellent mar gin, and three points for a very superior margin. A referee and two judges will continue to do the scoring. Green shale rock marks the course of the Green river which Is a tributary of the Colorado. Sleep well at the...

An authoritative source re ported that the owners of the other league clubs probably will disapprove the sale of the Mack family's stock in the club to a syndicate of eight .Philadel phia businessmen. . ' That would leave the Macks only the alternative of seljing their stock to Arnold Johnson, Chicago real estate man who heads a group desiring to trans fer the Athletics to Kansas City. "Mr. Mack, 92 years young and beloved by millions of base ball fans throughout the nation as the "grand old man" of the game, has steered clear of the bitter wrangling that has been going on for a month about the sale of the financially strick en - Athletics. But the tall lean man who dreamed always of "one more pennant" now is anx ious that his club stay In the same home town it has known since 1901. Mack Favors Sal "I am in favor of the sale to the syndicate," said Mack. "I talked to Roy and Earle (h 1 s sons) and fellow stockholders and we are solidly behind the sale." Owner .Dan Topping of the New York Yankees, on the other hand, is solidly against the sale and in favor of moving the club to Kansas City, "For the good of the league, the club should be transferred," said Topping. "Baseball has been no good in Philadelphia for 15 years and it will get a lot worse before It gets any better. We're in this as a business and when we get a position such as the Kansas City interests have made, It seems to me we're foolish to pass it by." Just as solidly, however, own ers Clark Griffith of the Wash ington Senators and Walter O. (Spike) Briggs of the Detroit Tig ers are in favor of keeping the club in Philadelphia. HIRSCH TO RETIRE Los Angeles (U.R) Elroy Crazy Legs Hirsch, offensive left end for the Los Angeles Rams, has announced he will retire from professional football at the end of the current season.

Crater's large squad and somewhat tougher slate could give it the edge. But, the Eagles present a rather rugged crew and will be fired to knock over the bigger school. The clubs have met two com mon foes' this year. Eagle Point licked Illinois Valley 25 to 0 while the Comets rapped the Cougars 21 to 0. Crater topped Phoenix 14 to 7 and the Pirates edged Eagle Point 7 to 6. A Comet victory in the scuffle will give it the loop mantle with three wins and no losses. If the Eagles win, they will knot with Crater and Phoenix for the ban ner. All three would have two victories and one defeat. Starters Listed Starting ends for. the Comets this week may be chosen from among Gordon Tidwell, John Shama and Cark Koellner. Oth er likely linemen will be Nathan Douthit and Bob Gray, tackles; Harold Lefler and Lyle Yocom, guards', and Neil Green, center. In the backfield Coach Leonard Warren may have Harvey Tonn, quarter, Don and Duane Goy ette, halfbacks, and Dick Wal ker, fullback. Walker has been hobbled by a bad leg and played .some against Ashland last week. Coach Jerry Mosby of Eagle Point is expected to pick from among Ed Abernathy, Jerry Cave and Adrian Elrod, ends; Don Dillard, Mike Kaiser and Norm Hooper, tackles, and Jim Wayman,. Larry Wilson and Jim Harper, guards, with Dick Wal lace probably getting center call. Backfield selections line among Jerry Tuttle, Eldon Ma son, John Greb, Carl Christian, Jack Bunker and Bob Stewart. Mason suffered knee bruises in practice last night and Stewart has missed previous action be cause of a knee hurt. There is a possibility that Franck Reich, end and back, who has been sidelined by a broken hand, may play some. A sidelight on Mason's Injury is that another. Mason, Bob, of Crater, also is nursing knee bruises. Bob is a linebacker for the Comets. The game will be the season finale for the Eagles. Nine Prospect Seniors In Last Gridiron Tussle Prospect Nine seniors will make their final football appear ance for Prospect high here Fri day afternoon. The Cougars will entertain the Talent Bulldogs In a Jackson County B. League scrape. . The senior backs are Joel Walls, Sid Peterson, Frank Art mire, .Ken Babb and Morris Jones while the senior linemen are Dave Bliss, Larry Sanderson, Gary Dickenson and Eugene Winningham. Co-captain Ken Oswald will be out of action because of a leg Injury. Prospect is pointing to the Talent fray because it has yet to dent the victory column and this is the last chance. Possible starters are Lyle Pope and Dickenson, ends; Bliss and Sanderson, tackles; Jim Mar tin and Winningham, guards, and Mike Clark, center with the backs to be chose from among Walls, Peterson, Babb, Dpn Bur well and Jones. WISHING FISHING THE BIG Art Luppino Leads Nation In Scoring New York U.R) Th best place to catch forward passes this season is the Pacific Coast and the only -likely place to catch young Art Luppino of Arizona is an enemy end zone. The. Arizona sophomore has made a complete runaway of the individual scoring race in major college football, NCAA Service Bureau figures showed today, piling up an even 100 points in exactly half of his 10-game sea son. There is no precedent for such a total by mid-season in the history of modern statistics keep-, ing. ' Luppino scored three touch downs and kicked three extra points against New Mexico last Saturday for a 21-point day. In one of his five games he was blanked,' so all of his 15 touch downs and 10 conversions have come in four games. He's the country's leader in rushing yard age, too. The nearest, man to him Is Denver's Rusty Fairly, with 80 points on eight touchdowns and 12 extra points. Cincinnati's Joe Miller has 9 TDs for 54 points, and five players have eight for 48 points Mississippi's Allen Muirhead, Iowa's Earl Smith, UCLA's Bob Davenport, South ern California's Jon Arnett, and Cincinnati's Dick Goist. Pass-Catching Field Stretches As for pass receiving, the field is stretching out a bit and Pa cific Coast players hold the top three places and fifth. Cali fornia's Jim Hanifan is the leader with 26 caught, Stanford's John Stewart has 22, Oregon's Dick James 19 and California's Jim Carmichael 17. The one in terloper is Columbia's George Seitz, who also has 17. Stewart is the yardage leader by the narrowest margin, 352 to 351 for Drake's Jerry Mer- tens. Lou Hettinger of Holy Cross and Corky Tharp of Ala bama have caught four touch down passes apiece. For sheer destructiveness, tfiough, Army's Don Holleder and Southern Cal ifornia's Lindon Crown get top honors, Holleder has caught only four passes, but has taken them 223 yards and scored two touch downs, averaging 55.8 yards a catch. Crow has caught six, travelled 270 yards for a 45-yatd average, and scored three times. Luppino pops up again as the nation's leading kick-off return expert even though he hasn't run one back for two weeks. He has 356 yards on nine tries. North Carolina State's George Marin kov has 329 yards for the same number, . and California's Paul Larson ' the country's , top passer 234 yards for six at tempts. Michigan State's John Matsock has 230 and Pennsyl vania's Stan Chaplin 220. Marietta, O., was a river boat building center during the early 1800's. CAWtRl RESERVE BLtNOEO WH..... Junior High Teams Play Medford lunior high school ninth grade : football players seek their fourth victory of the year Friday .when they .play Ashland at 3:45 p.m. on the jun ior high field and the seventh and-eighth gridders wrap up their season tonight when they vie at Central Point at 7 o'clock. It will be the second game of the season with the school in volved for the two Medford clubs. The Ninth graders wal loped Ashland 42 to 0 on the previous outing while the Bull pups lost to Central Point 7 to 0. Medford's seventh and eighth team tonight will be engaged in its only night tilt of the season. Russell Shifted While the Bulldogs will be favorites in the ninth grade mix on the basis of their earlier win, Coach Mel Boldenow has pointed out that the Lithians could rise up and be tough. The Ashlanders hold a 19 to 0 ver dict over Klamath Falls which Medford beat 26 to 7 and 26 to 0. A major shift in the Bulldog line-up this week will take Mike Rupscll out of the backfield and put him at end. Russell is a good pass receiver and the move will take advantage of that abili ty. ' ..';.. Other possible line starters are Tom Hamlin, end; Rodney Bacon and Tom Morton, guards; Tom Morris and Jim Funston, tackles, and Frank Albert, center. In the backfield it may be Gary Ack- ley, LeRoy Johnson, Jay Howard and Tony Brauner. .... GAFFNEY STILL LAMED Eugene, Ore. (U.R) Univer sity of Oregon coach Len Cas anova says halfback Walt Gaff- ney has not been responding to treatment for injuries suffered last week and will probably miss Saturday s game against Wash ington at Seattle.
