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.

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.

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.
