Tornado, Pirates Opponents In Might's Big Prep Struggle Medford's comeback minded high school football contingent was Coos Bay bound this morn ing and the eyes of Oregon were upon it. . . - -The Black Tornado, unmarred In Oregon competition but clipped last week by Eureka, Calif., whirls against the Marsh field Golden Pirates tonight in Its effort to get back on the winning trail. And to succeed In Its mission the Medford crew will have to overcome a heavier, speedier club rated as one of Oregon's best, Marshfield is un defeated in seven games. Tonight's encounter stacks up strictly as a battle of prestige. For Medford is high ranked, too. The dispute is over which shall be ranked No. 2. Medford has that place in one poll and Marsh field that spot la another. To- night the issue will be settled first hand. : , May Meet Again No conference or district sig nificance is attached to the tus sle between representatives of separate districts. But that does not keep the game from being considered probably the prep fracas of the week in Oregon. And it may show what may hap pen two weeks from now, For the two clubs may meet here on November 12 in state A-l grid iron quarter-finals. Medford al ready has clinched the District 6 toga. The Pirates are favored in District S although they have North Bend yet to play. , , ' There was more optimism with the Tornado after its drill last night than existed early in the week. Lorin Jacobs, regular ' fullback, hospitalized for several days, was back with the squad although a bit weak from inac tivity and penicillin treatment. Coach Fred Spiegelberg said that Jake may not play too much and may not start unless Medford kicks off. Kicking, in cluding punting, is one of Ja cob's big chores. It was likely that the fullback will see some offensive action but little duty on defense.' End Everett Kastner's side was still a bit sore from being stepped on this week but he will be able to play. Missing will be reserve tackle, Jim Link, who twisted his knee In practice this week. Defense Better ' Through Wednesday Medford hopes for strong defense were not up to expectations. But Spier gelberg put the squad through defensive paces last night be cause it "just had to" and the outlook loomed better. Medford's - regular offensive gang will be outweighed 184 to 175 pounds per man tonight and the regular defensive -unit by about 180 to 178 but the Tornado can adjust to that disadvantage, if necessary with reserves. If the weather outlook at Coos Bay was like for this area, there was hope, too, for the Medford single-wing and split T offen sive. The Tornado will mix the 'running of Rocky Stone, Mike Hawkins, Ed McCullough and Jacobs or Bron Oglesby possibly . with the passing1 of Stone and McCullough. On defense the Medfordiles will have the pass ing of Sandy Fraser and Jim Carlile and the running of John Johnson, Denny Baker and Tom Metzger to halt. A 36-man Medford squad left for Coos Bay this morning. Rams Will Take To Air Sunday Los Angeles (U.R) Leg Injuries to key backfleld aces are expected to make the Los Angeles Rams running attack ping instead of purr Sunday ' against the Detroit Lions, so Coach Hampton Fool figured today "we'll go over 'em instead of through 'erm' Plagued season-long by an in jury jinx that has never allow ed him a full-strength offensive unit. Pool, instead of heading for the booby-hatch, decided to concentrate on Norman Van Brocklin's passes to a forma tion of three ends, and add a dash of field goals.

Crater will be host to Eagle Point at Central Point in the Rogue League decider. Game time is 8 p.m. With Ashland already voted in" there will be no A-2 district play-off bid at stake in the scramble. But, that fact may in tensify rather than lower spirits in the fray. Crater already has won more actual games in the district than Ashland and will be out to win one more. Eagle Point was a bit miffed a week or so ago when it felt it still had a chance for district honors. Talk center ed on the Comets and Grizzlies and ignored the Eagles. Tonight EP will aim to show the Comets up.' , " ' -. Three-Way Tie ..? The Eagles can also pusn Crater into a three-way . co championship in the Rogue cir cuit if they . win. Other top spot sharer would be Phoenix. Crater goes into the fray- with a two-win, two-loss one tie rec ord, while Eagle Point, seeing Its last action of the year, has a three-win, three-loss standing. . Phoenix winds up its season at Glendale today while Illinois Valley, another A-2 school and Rogue League member, plays Class B. Jacksonville at Cave Junction. Players Dropped By Pitt, G.

Hardest hit by dismissals were Georgia Tech and the Uniyersity of Pittsburgh, both of whom have .dates with pow erful opponents Saturday.

L : Pitt, meanwhile, ' lost three players for its battle with un beaten West Virginia at Morgan town, W. Va., when guard Ed Stowe, halfback Gene Sterra tore and reserve guard Joe Los were dismissed for skipping practice sessions.

By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco (U.R).- It's David against Goliath Saturday when Paul Lattion, California's peerless passer, takes aim against the UCLA football giant in the West coast's top game of the day. .- . The fearsome Bruins, now rat ed No. 1 by the United Press Board of Coaches,' are favorites to sweep Larson and the Bears aside in the drive toward their second straight Pacific Coast conference championship, ,:. But UCLA, not only is up against the nation's No. 1 passer but also a team that is fired up in a "Win for Pappy" drive which was touched off even be fore rumors of irate alumni be gan to. bounce around Lynn Waldorf's iron-grey hair. The Golden Bears have had it rough their last four times out losing to Ohio State and Oregon, clipping Washington State then dropping Saturday's thriller to Southern California. This is their cue to bounce back if ever. . . Al Littrell Golf Champ Al Littrell is the champion in the first annual Senior Golf tournament at . Rogue Valley Country club.

United Press Sports Writes Son Firancisco Gf.KJ Things could be tougher in the selec tion business . but I don't know how. Who could guess, for Instance, that last week Washington was going to fumble into its own end zone and lose to Stan ford, 7-13? : . Or that Idaho would whip a good Washington Stats : team for the first time in 28 years? Or that College of Pacific could lick a powerhouse like Texas Tech? , . .. . . It doesn't seem possible - but there .it is in the records. As a result this department had a tough week, won 19, lost a for lowly percentage of .792. For the season: won 118, lost :6. .-- , Tills week's cari't-mlssers: UCLA over California: But the Bruins get their toughest battle of the year. California has the backfleld speed to stop those UCLA long-gainers, if tho big line will only move fast enough to help slow down the short shots. The nation's No. 1 team gets its biggest scare but comes out with a one-touchdown victory. Ducks by Touchdown Southern California over Oregon State: The Trojans roll over a club that has won only one game this year and that against Idaho. The Beavers are going to have a tough time re covering from that 61-0 shel lacking at the hands of UCLA. By 83. Wfichfntrtnn Rfato nupr Stan ford I keep saying this is not a good Stanford team, but it goes on winning except on oc casions. Unless Coach Chuck Taylor has some more of his fabulous luck, the Cougars should come out on top. By 13. Oregon over Washington: By rights, this is the week that the Webfoots should lose. But if George Shaw and Co.,' are at the right mental peak, they should come home in front of the Huskies by a touchdown.
