TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, November 5, 1954 1 Black Tornado Scraps Crater High Comets This Evening In Return To Home Gridiron Medford high varsity gridmen tonight play before a home crowd for the first time in three weeks and there are hesitant ex- i pectations that the return to home soil will brine a change in fortunes. They'll meet a decided ly underdog but highly deto-m-ined foe. The Black Tornado, victor in six straight tussles, including five on the home field, before two road losses, will be host to the Crater high Comets from Central Point. Kick-off time is set for 8 p.m. If both clubs click offensively, there could be a wide open fra cas tonight. Matched will be Crater's split T and Medford's combined single wing and T of fenses. The Comets will have the run ning shared by Vern Parent, Jack Lilly, Dick Walker and quick 127-pound Don Goyette. Quarterback Harvey Torm is the main passer and does some of the running. Alton Stone, Mike Hawkins, Lorin Jacobs and Ed McCullough probably will have the ball-carrying load for Med ford with Stone and McCullough sharing most of the passing. Revenge Incentive Medford's better record against tougher opposition estab lishes it as the favorite and de sire for revenge for a 20 to 14 licking by Crater last year should provide plenty of incen tive. But there's a lot of guess ing in the minds of fans as to whether the Tornado can lift its sagging morale and come flying back after its defeats at the hands of Eureka, Cal., and Marshfield. Crater, from all advance re ports will be fired high for its opportunity to dump a larger school and higher rated team. And fans who anticipate a Med ford walk-away may find them selves like last year sadly mis taken. The report from Central Point this morning was that the Com ets will be "out to win" in dar ing disregard of their underdog role. Coach Leonard Warren said that Crater spirit was "good in the locker room" as well as on the practice field last night. He added that the Comets ''may have a couple of surprises" for the Black Tornado. Crater morale reportedly is the best its been all season and the club is its physical tops in quite a while. Those factors may spell trouble for the Black Tornado. Injuries Hamper Coach Fred Spiegelberg of the Tornado was less talkative than Warren concerning the spirit of his charges but he said, "I think they'll be ready." Medford will be hampered by injuries to a - couple of regulars and will do what it can to keep its players fit for its state A-l quarter-final here next week end with the District 5 winner. That may keep the Tornado from wielding full power. Neither Center Mike DeVore, with a bum knee, or End Bud Kastner, with a hip bruise, are expected to start for Medford tonight. DeVore is in the better shape of the two and should see quite a bit of duty, particularly on offense. Kastner will be avail able if needed. Still sidelined on the Tornado club is Jim Link, tackle reserve, who hurt his knee in practice last week. He's out of the hospital and on PROBABLE OFFENSIVE LINE-UPS Medford-Crater Football Game Senior High Stadium Friday 8 p.m. MEDFORD HIGH CRATER HIGH No. 24 40 13 Name Gordon DeArmond .

(Landis-Shangle photo) i Leo Lewis Sets Scoring Record New York U.R) Leo Lewis, 185-pound halfback from Lin coln University of Missouri, has set a modern scoring record for college football and is closing in cn the all-time rushing record. Latest small-college football statistics released by the NCAA disclosed today that Lewis, by scoring 12 points last Saturday against Alcorn A and M, boosted his career scoring total to 360 points. That eclipsed the modern scor ing record, for both major and small colleges, of 355 points set by Carl Taseff of John Carroll from 1947 through 1950. The generally accepted pre-modern record is 465 points set by Willie Heston of Michigan from 1901 through 1904'. by KEITH "Ooops . . . Well, Keith said to clean them all!"
