o o Tornado In Underdog Role Aqainst Maroons Medford's Black Tornado headed' north today rated the underdog for its hassle with a strong, fast Milwaukie high foot ball team Friday night on the Milwaukie gridiron. Neither club is ranked among the top powers in Oregon prep football on the basis of early sea son showings but the Maroon have been listed 11th compared to Medford's 16th in the Asso ciated Press poll of sportswritgr throughout the state. Medford and Milwaukie will be about evenly matched in weight. Average of the Maroon line is figured at about 175 pounds from scouting reports while the backfield goes about 160. In the metropolitan area crew, Medford will be up against a deceptive team witfc lots of speed. Milwaukie is T aggre gation. It uses lots of quick stuff and the Tornado will also have to be wary of end sweeps on pitchouts. Ron Edmondson, sophomore left half, is rated as the Beavy duty boy for the Maroons, who are figured as a better club than Astoria to whom they lost by one point last week. Bill Haller, quarterback, is listed as a good thrower and fine defensive man He has a good receiver in Ken Warner, an end. Warner is the team's . punter and extra point kicker. He's also tough defen sively. Hope for Hawkins Bob Johnson at right half, and Jerry Beck at fullback are mem bers of the possible starting backfield. Paul Young, 175- pound right tackle, is labeled an outstanding lineman for the MaroMs. Shaw Signs AF Academy Grid Pact Denver (U.R) Lawrence T. (Buck) Shaw, 56-year-old veteran college and professional coach on the West Coast who was fired In 1954 by the San Francisco Forty Niners because he failed to win a championship in nine years, was officially, the first air force academy football coach to day. e . Shaw was named this past summer as civilian advisor to the military .coaching staff at the academy which this fall will field its first team. But it was plain to everyone that the acad emy athletic director, CoL Rob ert V. Whitlow, almost idolized the tall, white-haired Shaw. It was thought originally that Shaw would not be officially signed as head coach at the acad emy until next year, when the sophomore team would be ready for Intercollegiate varsity competition. But shaw signed a five-year contract yesterday, tendered by Lt. Gen. Hubert Harmon, the academy superintendent. Shaw's salary was not disclosed. LOSING RECORD POSSIBE Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) If the Duke Blue Devils defeat Ten nessee Saturday and they are favored to the vols will set a school all-time losing streak of six straight The Vols last won a game on Oct. 30, 1954, defeat ing North Carolina, 26-20. The Tornado still held out hope that Mike Hawkins, right halfback, will be able to see some duty. He was still hob bling on a bad ankle yesterday. John Hawley likely will get the opening call at the slot with Gary Riley or John Bellack at the left half post for offense. Dick McLaughlin probably will start at quarterback with Dave Bosworth at fullback. Offensive line may be Dick Copple and Mike Stearns or Jerry Gatlin, ends; Tom Cox and Neil Plumley, tackles; Monte Hoist and Jack Gregory, guards, and Gary Shafer, center. Defensively it could be Cop ple and Maury Butts, ends; Plumley and Mel Morgan, tac kles; Hoist and Bob Apple, guards; Gregory and McLaugh lin linebackers; Bellack and Hawley, halfbacks and Riley, safety. A squad of 35 players, Man ager Clark Mears, Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg and Assistant Coaches Bob Newland and Paul Evensen, left this morning. The team was to work out at Mil waukie at 5 p.m. today.

Rogue River To Entertain Eagle Point Rogue River Rogue River high footballers were working this week to shake off the "jit ters" of their last hassle to be ready for probably their tough est foe so far this season. The Chieftains, a Class B school, are hosts to Eagle Point of the A-2 ranks for a Friday 8 p.m. scramble. Coach Tinker Hatfield report ed that his Rogue River club has been "looking pretty good" this week in drills and held out strong hope that the Chiefs would not repeat the confusion apparent in their 39 to 7 loss to St. Mary's of Medford last Friday. Swilch Mad Hatfield has made one switch aimed at better blocking for his backfield. He plans to start Bill Weaver, an end who has seen some backfield service, at quar The move will shift Gary Stinchcomb to fullback. Bilbee Lane is the probable left half despite a broken nose suffered in the SM scrape. Fred Bond, who has been running good in practice is the likely right half, Bill Headrick, a regular back has missed practices this week because of illness. . - Probable linemen Friday are Bob Wilson and Harold Moore, ends; "Bill Dixon and Don Holf- man, tackles; Gary Stewart and Gary Phillips or Tom Johnston, guards, and Richard Twiest, cen ter. Phillips suffered a shin and calf injury against St. Mary's and rehurt his leg yesterday. Hunters Told Fire Danger Severe East of Mountains Another warning for hunters to exercise care with fire in national forests, particularly those east of the Cascade moun tains, during the forthcoming deer season, was issued today. Jack Wood, supervisor of Rogue River National forest, stated that the fire danger is moderately high to severe be cause rains in western Oregon did not extend east of the moun tains. It has been several months since most of the areas have had any rain at all. Worst problem areas are in the Fremont forest, near Lake view and the east -side of the Deschutes forest near Bend. No moisture is foreseen for at least the next three or four days, Wood said. Fremont forest ' conditions were said to be -extremely haz ardous. There has been no rain at all since June. Winds have been 10 to 20 miles per hour in exposed places with higher winds predicted in the next few days. DrUd Out In the Deschutes region there was some rain early in Septem ber in the western part but a dry wind has dried things out again. The eastern portion is extremely- dry. There has been no rain since June east of the Paulina mountains. Lower areas in the Umatilla (Pendleton) area have had no rain. About .2 of an inch fell last Tuesday in high elevations only. Ochoco National forest near Prineville is generally dry. There was slight rain only at higher spots last Tuesday. The Wallowa-Whitman forest in the Baker-Enterprise area is dry in lower elevations. Recent scattered showers brought no rainfall exceeding .1 inch and it was in higher elevations only. Outlook for the Malheur forest in the John Day region is about the same as in the Wallowa- Whitman area One-tenth inch of rain fell on Tuesday, Septem ber 27. . Summer Lake rim in Fremont forest will be the only fire clos ure in Oregon during the hunt ing season. All others were lift ed at midnight last night. Football Briefs CAS LOCKS GATES Eugene, Ore. (U.R) Coach Len Casanova took his Univer sity of Oregon .Ducks behind locked gates today and he plans to keep them there for the rest of the week while they im prove their aerial game. Casanova said he hoped for a dry field for his featherweight backfield when the Ducks meet the University of Washington at Portland Saturday. He said a wet, slippery field would give the much heavier Husky back field a decided advantage. SPORTSWRITER HONORED Fresno, Calif.

The commissions' weekly re port: Southwest Josephine coun ty high altitude deer country will be unproductive in most areas. Best success will be had in the low hills adjacent to the valley. In Jackson county, Cas cade county, hunting conditions are good; lower hills near the valley floor are drier, but buck population is good. Deer in good condition on all ranges. Hunting prospects in Coos and Curry counties are fair. NORTHWEST Excellent hunting mar be expected throughout the Tilla mook Burn providing weather clears. Dense fog in the Burn - may be ex pected to hamper hunters if rain con tinues. Deer hunting in the southern Willamette area is expected, to be good if weather clears enough to get the fog out of the high mountain country. Archers will not be required to check in at the McDonald forest archery area but must check out any deer killed. CENTRAL Hunting expected to be fairly good in the Ochoco forest es pecially on the east half of the for est and in the Lookout mountain pro tective association area. A $1.00 per mit - is required in this protective association area. Permits are available at Ernie's sport shop in Prineville. Hunting should be good on the north slopes of Maury mountain. Hunting in the Deschutes forest should be best in the Lapine, China Hat. Spring Butte, and Metolius areas. Deer now seem to be fairly well scattered in both the Ochoco and Deschutes na tional forests. NORTHEAST General rain has improved the outlook. Snow has fall en at all higher elevations and down to 6,000 feet. Boads into mountain areas may be muddy, and hunters should carry chains. Prospects are good in Morrow and Wheeler coun ties. Best success should be had near agricultural lands in Wheeler county, and hunting can usually be obtained by permission. Cherry creek and Kah ler basin have an overpopulation of deer in those areas. Gilliam county should be only fair. Grant county prospects excellent. Forest roads in Grant county should be passable. Good success may be. expected in Wallowa county. Pack trips should be success ful in the Imnaha-Snake river area. Good hunter success is expected in Umatilla county. Deer are widely scattered in Baker and Union coun ties, and hunter success should be ex cellent. Some springs and small streams have ceased to flow, and it may be necessary to carry water. Nighttime temperatures have been be low freezing at all higher elevations. SOUTHEAST Deer hunting pros pects are good throughout the area. Caroline Joins Allouette Club Montreal (U.R) J. C. Caro line, who won All-American honors at the University of Illi nois two years ago,' stepped in at the right halfback spot for the Montreal Alouettes of the Big Four Football Union today. Caroline was released by the Argonauts last week, allegedly because his abilities didn't meas ure up to his high price tag. The Alouettes took him on after the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats both waived on him. EVERGREEN LEAGUE Last week's tie in the Ever green league was broken when Pierce Auto Freight took a 4-0 series from the co-holders of top spot, Jorgensen's dairy. Medford Barbers and Domestic Laundry switched, positions on the 4-0 series that the Barbers took from the Laundrymen.

Monro Handicap 326 353 376 104 PHOENIX, CRATER PRIME FOR FRIDAY ENCOUNTER Phoenix Phoenix and Crater highs did the final priming to day for their annual gridiron engagement. The fracas on the Phoenix field at 8 p.m. Friday will be me wee ena s ieaiure contesi on a Rogue valley turf. It will be a Rogue League and District C-A-2 affair, first of the season for the two schools. Phoenix is banking on team improvement and tradition of victory on its home field to pull a triumph over the Comets whom they have almost always given a close, hard game. Coach Jack Woodward said he feels the Pirates have shown general im provement during the past week in their efforts to iron out rough spots. "I think we have a good chance to win," he declared. Crater, not minimizing the Pirates, is looking forward to being in the best shape physical ly It has been this season. "I think we'll be ready to go," Coach Leonard Warren remark ed. "Morale is better this year than it has been in past sea sons," he said. But he added, "We're not looking for an easy one." Build R terra The Pirates this week have sought to build up reserve strength. Some players carried most of the load last week in the 13 to 7 closey with Ashland. Phoenix spirit was high after that mix even though the Pirates lost and a question is whether the morale will carry over into the Comet encounter. Bolstering the Pirates will be the return of Walt Hfirlbut who cculd play quite a bit as a line backer. He hurt his ankle against Jacksonville in the season open er. Delmar Brood, left halfback, has a hand injury but how much it may hamper him isn't cer tain. Crater this week- has been concentrating on defense with the hope that offense hasn't been neglected too much. The attack has functioned well in games so far. . Injured and Sick For the Comets, Carl Koell- ner, end, is still laid up with an ankle sprain. The ankle is im proving but slowly. Guard and Tackle Neil Green is still bother ed by a rib ailment but could see lots of action. Guard Harold Lef- ler, who had a bum knee, has seen full scrimmage action this week. Backs Jack Lilly and Lee Gossett have been on the sick list but both "should be ready. Both have missed three days of practice although Lilly was look ing on last night. Tackle Dick Davis was sick yesterday. Possible Phoenix starters are Bill Madden and Ray DahL ends; ueuora Dean or Don Wallace and Perry Sneed, tackles; Don Blankenship and Dennis Brad ley, guards; Jim Hobbs, center, and Jim Korth, Brood, John Gar ner and Dan Lovett, backs. For Crater it may be John Shama and Gordon TidwelL ends; Dave Parker and Davis, tackles; Lefler and Don Hub bard, guards; Nathan Douthit, center, and Mel Harsh, George Juveland, Lilly and Don Goy ette backs. Ron Harrison may start if Lilly is unable and Douthit is ticketed for defensive guard duty. Arch To Defend Against Turpin New Ifork (U.R) Archie Moore's next fight will be his defense of the light heavyweight crown against Randy Turpin at London, Jan. 10. Manager Char ley Johnston said today. The match between 38-year-old Archie and England's Tur pin, ex-middleweight champion, will be signed in New York about Oct. . 19, when promoter Jack Solomons of London ar rives. The London fight will be his fifth defense of the crown he won from Joey Maxim- on Dec. 17, 1952. He defended twice against Maxim and against Har old Johnson and middleweight champion Bobo Olson. Dusts are usually the most convenient forms of insecticides for use in the home garden. 1 2040 1884 Mays Landing, N.J. (U.R) Willie Hartack, the nation's lead ing jockey from Johnstown, Pa., booted home three more winners at Atlantic City Wednesday to run his 1955 victory total to 325, 48 better than runner-up Willie Shoemaker. Hartack scored on Stimulant, Brau Imp and Yellow Dot.
