Medford had to come from behind to take command. The determined Comets got the first touchdown. Threat Enough After the Tornado finally put its offensive show on the road there wasn't much doubt about who'd win. But the Crater at tack was threat enough that Tornado regulars were used most of the way. The Comets scored all three touchdowns against the regs. First quarter of the conflict ended with the count at 7-all. Medford struck twice in the second panel for a 21 to 7 half time spread. The gap was ex tended to 34 to 7 in the third stanza.
