Marshf ielcPs Rugged Club Overpowers
Black Tornado 28-6; May Play Again
Marshf leld's rugged and high
spirited Golden Pirate, bolster
ing their claim to a high place
nmnne . Oreenn'a tiren tfrfdiron
elite, got the jump on Medford's
Black Tornado Friday night and
rolled on' to outplay ,and over
power the Tornado 28 to 6 in .a
non-district "bitf" game at Cooa
' Bay. ' ; "' ; "
The fired up Pirates turned
their recovery of the opening
kick-off and a pass Interception
into first quarter tourchdowns to
gain the upperhand. They added
another goal on an extended
drive in the second quarter and
broke Johnny Johnson loose for
the fourth in the final panel to
bowl over another of Oregon's
top-rated crews.
Medford exploded for its lone
touchdown in the second quarter
and saw three drives run out
deep in Marshfield territory..
Second Lou
The Tornado suffered the sec
ond consecutive blow to its pres
tige along with its second loss
of the year as the Pirates romped
on unblemished. But there was
a note of consolation as the Med
f ordites reviewed the fray.
They're almost certain to get a
second chance;
Medford already Is District 6
A-l champion. As of yesterday
only North Bend stood in way
of the Pirates in District 5 and
Marshfield is fully expected now
to grab the crown. That will put
Medford and Marshfield against
each other here on November 12
in state quarter-finals.
'Clearly Superior'
But, -while the Tornado will
aim at making the most of the
next opportunity, the Pirates
were clearly superior Friday
night at Coos Bay. A determ
ined aggressive line paved the
. way and tough Denny Baker and
scooting Johnny Johnson .reeled
off the bulk of the yardage as
Marshfield outrtetted Medford
390 to 199 in scrimmage gains.
And the Tornado was not tackl
ing the way it could and should.
It was Tom Metzger,, another
capable back, who gave Marsh
field its first break and started
the Pirates on the road to tri
umph. The Pirates kicked off
and Metzger fell on the oval on
the 25-yard line in Medford ter
ritory.. Baker, consistent gainer
all night . for Marshfield, made
two seven-yard carries and John
son went 10 yards on a crossbuck
to the one. Metzger barged into
the end zone. Sandy Fraser's
conversion kick was wide but he
got another chance and made it
good when Medford was pen
alized for roughing him.
Johnson Intercepts.
To set up the second Marsh
field scoring thrust, Johnson in
tercepted a pass by Medford's Ed
McCullough. He ran it from the
Marshfield 45 to the Medford 31.
Baker went five yards and John
son whacked out five, five, eight,
. seven and one-yard gains to get
the touchdown with 21 seconds
left in the quarter, Frazer made
the second of his four convers
ions. Medford threatened to get
back in the tussle right after the
kick-off. Mike Hawkins returned
the boot 24 yards to his own 46.
He made another four yards to
midfteld. Then McCullough un
leashed a 38-yard pass to Bud
Kastner. His teammate, Gordon
McVey, blocked Metzger out of
the play and Kastner was lose
to go the last 12 yards. Lorin
Jacobs' bonus kick attempt was
wide.
Drive Halted
Later in the second period the
Tornado took a punt on the
Marshfield 41 and drove to the
14. There the Pirates took over
and 13 plays later, going 86
yards, had their third TD. Baker
and Johnson did the heavy work
and Metzger boomed the last three
yards with slightly more than
two minutes left in the half.
Johnson shook free and ran
70 yards in the fourth quarter
for the last Pirate touchdown.
They play started as a crossbuck
to the right. Four Medfordltes
fc converged on himxbut he got
' loose and cut to the left sideline,
then headed for the goal. John
son outran Medford's Bron
Ogelsby ,who made a last diving
lunge. .
Medford threatened in the
third quarter driving from its
own 38 to the Pirates' 19 with
three first downs Jacobs made
14 and nine yard shoves and Mc
Cullough got free for 10. In the
fourth, starting also from its 38,
the Tornado pushed to the
Marshfield 17. Jacobs made one
gain of eight yards and McCul
lough to Dick Copple passes were
good for iz and 24 yards.
Yardage Given
The Pirates outdid Medford 20
to 11 in first downs. Of its net
yards 350 were from rushing
and 40 from passing. Medford
made 102 on the ground and 90
through the air. Medford tried
15 passes and completed five
and had three intercepted.
Baker netted 188 yards for
Marshfield and Johnson 143, the
two of them accounting for 336
out of the 350.
Hawkins was the top ball car
rier for Medford, doing particu
larly well on T plays. The Pir
ates had the Medford single wing
pretty well figured, ftocky Stone
was Medford's standout defens
ive back while Mike DeVore,

the line.
. Coach Fred Spiegelberg said
yesterday that a - slump in
tackling had a lot to do with the
Tornado loss. He indicated too
that Medford blocking was not
up to par and the big, rugged
Pirate line was outcharging Med
ford. If Medford tackling had
been better, "we would have
held the ball more," the mentor
reported. , He added that his
charges "learned a lot."

Eugene met North Bend last
night and if Eugene won the
district crown was Marshf ield'ii.
If North Bend won, the title will
be decided by the Marshf ield
North Bend game next week.
South Salem's tie with Corvallis
spoiled its perfect season record
and the Saxons need to win from
North Salem next week to wrap
up the title, as Albany and Cor

Jefferson scored three touch
downs in the last four minutes
before 7,159 fans at Portland to
beat Lincoln 27-7 and spoil the
Cardinals dream of their first
prep title in 31 years. But both
teams got playoff berths.
Beaverton, which dropped an-
early game and then has looked
terrific, wrapped up the district
crown by routing Newbem
57-7. Milwaukie, loser only to
South Salem, won the district 3
title with a 27-13 non over Tilla

one of the top teams although
out' of playoff action, clobbered
Klamath Falls 23-6. Prineville,
