Newspaper Page TextZ- EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) IVledford Wrestlers Down Grants Pass Team 28-20 Medford high wrestlers - de feated Grants Pass 28 to 20 here last night in a team match which saw the outcome in doubt until the 11th match was fin ished. The Tornado team won six of the 12 regular matches. Grants Pass took four and two tussles were draws. Three Tornado vic tories were by pins and three by decisions. Grants Pass won two by falls and two , by decisions. There were 14 exhibition bouts. Grants Pass won eight of these and Medford six. For the Ashlanders Could Rely It's not known just what Ash land's Al Simpson, an old master at coaching, is devising this week as the Grizzlies prepare for their basketball series with the Med ford high Black Tornado. But, if preparations iohow someining oz the pattern of previous games, speed could play a considerable role in the Ashland attack.' The speed is aimed at making up for a deficiency in height and Harry Johnson, 5 feet 8 inches, and Jerry Mickle, 5-9, are the playmakers and the "go" boys on the fast break. Ashland has several six footers to mix the action under the back boards but its height won't quite match that of the Black Tornado 'end the Grizzlies may be with out the service of one of their taller youths. While the altitude could be a bit more than that which is shown on the Ashland roster, Stuart Baker is shown as the tallest Grizzly at 6-2. Jim Sutherlin, Phil- Sword arid Gene Parent are listed at 6-1 each. Sutherlia A Question - - Sutherlin suffered a locked knee last Saturday- and whether he'll be. able' to go. against the Tornado in games in Medford on Friday and Ashland on Saturday was not known today.' Coach Simpson -has told an Ashland writer that he doesn't think the tall boy will be ready for Med ford but that there's some chance he will be available for duty the following week . against . Grants Pass. It's likely Sutherlin will have to wear some sort of brace. If. Sutherlin, a strong re bounder, is missing against the Tornado, Phil Sword probably will be in his place. Parent, Baker, Mickle and Johnson are almost certain to be the players rounding out the starting five. - Ashland will come into the Medford series with a record of four wins and four losses this season. They split with the Klam ath Falls Pelicans in the South ern Oregon Conference last week end. They have defeated the Grizzly alumni and hold two vic tories over Crescent City, a team beaten by Grants Pass. Fair Workout Losses in addition to . that to Klamath were by one point to Bend and to Madras and Fortuna, which Grants Pass beat." Coach Frank Roelandt said that the Medford high squad had a fair workout last night. He said that the Medf ordites appeared a bit tired but felt certain that they would snap out of it and work things lose. They reportedly were au in good health. Drills last night followed the usual pattern of working against both opposition defense and of- ' f ense and more of the same was anticipated for this afternoon. The Black Tornado is carrying ine designation ol No. 1 in the state but the club is gunning at continued improvement and not resting on any rating laurels. Two Coaches Bow Out Of LA Rams' Picture Los Angeles U.R) Dan Beeves, president of the Los An geles Rams pro football team, was aue to return to Los Ange les today following a trip East in searcn oz a new head coach.- The Rams' front office said that Reeves' return did not mean he had picked a coach and that it might be a week or longer before a . successor to Hampton Pool is named.- ' Two top candidates for the coaching job. bowed out of the running yesterday. Eddie Erde- latz of Navy signed a new five year contract with the naval academy and Coach Blanton Col lier said he was happy with his present job at Kentucky, where his contract has two years to run.' ; .;;' ;jy.

Fritz Crisler of Michigan, the chairman of the committee, said "There would be changes but nothing fundamental or as signi ficant as - the substitution rule of two years ago." Crisler revealed that Tues day's meeting was spent mostly in- discussing various ways to eliminate the "sucker shift" whereby offensive linemen de liberately iry to lure; the de fensive line offside.
