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.

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

Bears Have Giant
Killer Objective
. 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

The Golden Bears have had
it rough their last four times

Wood Says
UCLA Should
Nab Toughie
. By HAL WOOD
. 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.
Utah over Idaho: The Van
dals shot their bolt last week
and it is doubtful that Skip
Stahley can get his team "up"
for another big week. By six.
