EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, November 12, 1954 Bedford, RUarshfield Contend Tonight In State Play-Off; Clear Skies Seen It will be on to greater heights possibly the state champion ship for one team and the end of the 1954 trail for the other tonight after two of Oregon's .prep gridiron powerhouses, Marshfield high of Coos Bay and the Medford Black Tornado, end their combat on the senior high field here in one of the state's Class A-l toga quarter-finals. Which it will be for either team is expected to depend large ly on morale. Both clubs are of proven ability. One of the largest crowds to witness a prep( grid encounter at the Medford stadium is anti cipated. For, the weatherman has promised a cool, clear night and a sellout is foreseen. Although approximately 250 reserved seats had not been sold early 'this morning, they-were expected to be gobbled up by game time. About 150 ducats were on sale at the high school office today. Some were those which had been held for season ticket holders are not -good f o: the scuffle but holders were given priority through Wednes day for purchase of their regular season seats. On Sale at Gate Tickets not sold at the school office today and more than 100 being returned from Coos Bay are to be available when gates at the stadium open at 6:45 p.m. A fairly fast field is likely for the play-off struggle between the Tornado's champs of District 6 and the Pirates' victors of Dis trict 5 as the southwestern Ore gon mantle as well as a state semi-finals spot is at stake. A check of the turf this morning showed it "a little soft but not bad." There is good chance that the field may dry out some more before game time. The weather bureau listed the possibility of widely scattered showers today but not enough to hurt. Clear skies will continue a perfect fall weatherwise for football here. Marshfield's Golden . Pirates, unmarred in nine games this sea son and victors over Medford 28 to 6 two weeks ago, are listed as "heavy favorites' by at least WlfiJuetSpolitan prognosticator. Followers closeto- the- Tornado gang aren't willing to agree. PROBABLE OFFENSIVE LINE-UPS Medford-Marshfield Football Game Senior' High Stadium MEDFORD HIGH No. Name Wgt. Pos.

Game time is 8 o'clock. (Landis-Shangle photo) nado has a chance, and a good one, to pull an "upset" on its home field. The Marshfield set back was the only one suffered by Medford in eight games against Oregon foes this year. Near Top Shape The Black Tornado, recogniz ing it will have to be fired up to overcome the heavier Marsh field club, had its last drill yes terday morning and was pro nounced in near fop shape physi cally. Its session lasted from 9:30 a.m .to 12:30 p.m. The squad worked hard enough to break a sweat and had a chalk talk. Dick McLaughlin, quarterback and linebacker, had a touch of flu and a sore throat and did not suit down. Medford hopes are based large ly on tighter defense, better tackling, than it showed in the other Pirate clash. And there was indication that the defense will be improved. The task will be to prevent the breakaway running of John Johnson and to repel the line smacking of Denny Baker. Both clubs this evening are likely to rely mostly on their running games but Medford with Ed McCullough and Alton Stone pitching can take to the air ef fectively. Kick-off is set for 8 p.m. Students of Medford and Marshifeld highs have priority to the seating in the old grandstand.
