EIOHT MEPFOHP (OREGON! MAIL TRIBUNE Weaaesdir. November 10. H54 Medfordites Keep Up Strenuous Preparations for Pirate Game Medford's Black Tornado swung from individual to team emphasis yesterday in its earn est and strenuous preparations as lan interest continued to mount in the state A-l prep quar ter-final football game here this Friday night with the No. 1 ranked powerful and favored Mcdford senior Ugh school officials stressed again today1 thai season tickets we not good for the state play-off football game with Marshfield here on Friday' night. ' " Holders of season reserve ' seats however, had through' today to purchase their, same 'seats for the Friday fray. Those not bought by the time the school closed , today .were to go on sale to the public Fri- . day morning. Other than those in that section, only 30 to 40 . reserved seats were still avail able this morning. They were in section A. Students, - and their bands and pep squads , will get first chance for seats in the dd grandstand. If there is room . after they are seated, adults will be allowed in the remain ing space. Marshfield Pirates of Coos Bay. And, while defense was get ting the main concentration, there was speculation as to whether the air arm of the Med- ford, offense will be at full A "Quite a bit of fire" was pres ent as players received indivi dual drill for their various posi tions on Monday night.' It was more than just a light workout, according to Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg. The long practice in fact went overtime as the Tor- naao sougni to maxe every mo ment count. - , Need To Tighten In Tuesday's team drill, the Medfordites had offensive scrim mage but defense again got the stress. A "Marshfield" team ran Pirate plays against the Tornado stalwarts. Coaches Spiegelberg and Bob Newland, while they did not elaborate, gave indica tion that the Tornado still will have to tighten its fortifications quite a bit if they are to success fully stop the split T of the Pirates. . . ; oq xar us injuries are concern ed, the big question is the little sparkplug quarterback Eddie Mc Cullough. He hurt his shoulder in the Crater contest and it was still sore yesterday. The injury badly hampers his throwing arm but it is hoped that heat treat ments will relieve him of the ailment by the time Friday night rolls around. : McCullough . and Rocky Stone are the main pass- ers on uw ciud. Center Mike DeVore, who has been lamed with a banged up knee, and End Bud Kastner, who had a hip bruise are both back in shape, strengthening the line, j Reserve Tackle Jim Link, who has missed two games because of torn knee ligaments, is still out of action. A leg hurt suffered by Fullback Lorin Jacobs in the Crater game was a charley horse from which he has recover ed. Halfback Mike Hawkins got hit . on the back against the Comets but he also is okeh. Impressive Recbrd . The Pirates come to Medford boasting an impressive record. Medford doesn't match the statistics the heavier Marshfield club has accumulated. But the Black Tornado isn't willing to concede that its 6 to 28 loss to the Pirates two weeks ago means that the Marshfield club is that much better. The Medfordites learned in the previous game however that , their job is cut out and a tough one. ? 1 They take hope from the great North Bend performance against Marshfield last week and they, as the champs of District 6, will aim for the same success that Grants Pass had against the 1953 District 5 winner. In the, early season last year, Grants Pass was soundly trounced by North Bend. In the state quarter-finale between the two, the Cavemen nipped the Bulldogs. Marshfield this year boasts a spotless record, with nine vic tories. Paced by break-away run ning of " John Johnson and the workhorse plunging . of Denny Baker, the Pirates have run up 270 points to opponents 47. They have a net yardage total of 2,970 to opponents 1,196. This figure has ben helped along by runs of 91, 70, 65, 62 and 61 yards from scrimmage from touchdowns by Johnson. Baker has 70, 61, 48 and 28-yard runs from scrimmage. Medford has rung up 164 points to opponents' 80 and has netted unofficially 2,206 yards to rivals' 1,780. Among long runs from scrimmage have been 74, 53 and 52 yarders by Stone. Grants Pass In Thursday . Fans will get a preview of the 1955 Grants Pass football varsity and may get a good in dication of what the Crater high regulars will be like next year when the two clubs clash Thurs day at Grants Pass. The Vet erans day game as been set lor 2 p.m. and will be the season finale for both schools. ' Coach Mel Ingram will strip his varsity squad of its seniors. That mean's that 11 Cavemen, most of them regulars, either de fensively or offensively, will not play. For Crater Coach Leonard Warren has made it optional with his seniors whether they play. So far Back Vern Parent, End Fred Hogue and Tackle Cliff Smith are the only seniors to withdraw from the tangle. Most of Crater's regular crew is sophomores and juniors. Grid Playoff Plans Near TO QUIT FOOTBALL ' Fort Lewis, Wash.

General Manager Will Be Picked First by Johnson By FRED DOWN New York U.R) Owner Ar nold Johnson said today that he will kick off his one-million-dol lar "first things first" plan to build the Kansas 'City Athletics into a pennant contender by naming a general, manager and field manager in, about two weeks. . v.-".: .!- ' Johnson gave no hint of the men he is considering, but in Kansas City there was specula tion that Parke Carroll, general manager of the Kansas City team of the- American association, would be appointed general man ager and that Lou Boudreau would be the new. pilot. "I think , we should select the general manager first so that he may have some voice in the se lection of his field manager. Johnson said. "We know that whoever takes over will have a job - to do. We know that we don t have an easy road ahead Johnson said that Eddie Joost, manager of I the .Athletics - last season, would be considered for the post but did not identify any other candidates. The 47-year-old Chicago real tor-, emphasized . that money would first be poured into ob taining players for the Athletics and that the farm system would be. strengthened "later on." He said "it's simply a matter of first things first.

(International) Crusaders Leave Thursday For Playoff Mix At Moro St. Mary's high's football squad will leave Thursday morning for its tussle with Moro in the state B school quarter finals. - - Jordan Selected Coach of Week By CARL LUNDQUIST New York U,R) No student ever came to him for help with advanced algebra problems but on the football field he came up with the equation that X plus Y equals V for victory. His team was supposed to be a powerhouse, but. somewhere along the line it developed a short circuit on defense. It could score liberally but the opposition did even better. Finally he scrapped his version of the two platoon system and came up with the Southland's upset' of the year. -.-' vji He's the United Press Coach of the Week, Ralph (Shug) Jor dan' of the Auburn Plainsman, who last Saturday turned Mia mi's mighty Hurricane into a gentle gulf zephyr with a 14-13 stunner that surprised every body but him. i v ; - "If we vhad played all year as we did Saturday against Miami, I believe we'd be undefeated right, now," Jordan said." "We got a slow start because our de fense didn't work out well, but I feel now we've hit our stide. The defensive improvement was the big difference. We, have been good on offense all year." The game will be played at Moro at 2 p.m. on Friday. The Crusader squad is to make the trip by bus. It had not been determined at last report just where the team will stay overnight Thursday. Likely, the stop will be at The Dalles. Coach -Ed Hummel said last night that, with one exception the St. Mary's squad has pretty well recovered from the batter ing it took from Chiloquin in the District 5B title game last Satur day. Back Laval Meunier is still .troubled by a bruised knee. Dick Paup Ready ' If Meunier is unable to see much' action, his replacement will be Dick Paup, whose regu lar assignment has been sharing an end berth. Paup reportedly has recovered from heel blister trouble which has hampered his running and limited his work pretty much to defense. Any injuries to the Crusaders are damaging because 13 men have been carrying the heavy part of the load. St. Mary's players along.with those of Medford high were din ner guests last night at Mon De sir. The Rev. Nicholas Deis was host. Coaches and other "digni taries" also attended. Deis gave a brief talk. EXPECTED BACK Pullman, Wash. KU.R) Quar terback Bob Iverson, who re ceived a mild concussion in the Michigan State game last Satur day, was expected to be back with the Washington State Col lege squad today.
