The clubs have had close games in past recent vears and this year is expected to be no exception. O Crater will be at least a slight favorite, but is anticipating no easy pickings with the Pirates who last week lost only 7 to 13 to Ashland after outplaying the Grizzlies through the evening. The Comets have come out on top in the most recent engage ments with the Pirates, but Phoenix hopes are high for an upset this time in a "real good ball game. Both clubs have spent a lot of time on defense this week, but some good offensive action is anticipated. The Pirates have been polishing to overcome gffensive fumble-itis which hurt against Ashland last week, and Coach Jack. Woodward thinks the trouble has been corrected. The Comets are expected to field the heavier aggregation. 4hoenix has a light club, but makes up for it in overall team speed. The Pirates move in a hurry and they have lots of fight and spirit. Both clubs are at least near full strength physically. Only Comet not likely to see action is End Carl Koellner, who has a bad ankle. Crater's likely starters are John Shama and Gordon Tid well, ends; Dave Parker and Dick Davis, tackles; Harold Lel- ler and Don Hubbard, guards; Nathan Douthit, center, and Mel Harsh, George Juveland, Jack Lilly and Don Goyette, backs. Ray Dahl may start at one end for Phoenix. At the other, Gary Simmonds is the listed starter rater Grid Tonight with Bill Madden filling In. At other posts the possibles are Perry Sneed and Don Wallace or Delford Dean, tackles; Don Blankenship and Dennis Brad ley, guards; Jim Hobbs, center, and Jim Korth, John Garner, Delmar Brood and Dan Lovett, backs.

Twenty-six men strong, they will leave by chartered plane from the Medford airport at 6:30 a.m. Saturday. The game is set for 2 p.m. on the Lincoln high field.

Troy Picked Over Speiser Washington (U.R) " Light heavyweight Willie Troy of Washington is favored at 7-5 to beat collegiate Chuck Speiser of Lansing, Mich., tonight in their nationally televised and broad cast 10-round bout at the New Capitol Arena. Troy, who recently out-grew the middleweight class, is fav ored because of his greater ex perience and crisper punch. Wil lie registered 23 knockouts while winning 30 of his 34 fights. Speiser, a graduate of Michi gan State and a former Olympic light heavyheight champ, has had five fights since receiving his discharge from the Army.

The Duck coach is operating under the theory that his charges can stand - improvement in all phases of the game, so he is drill ing them accordingly. Wednesday marked the third straight day that the Webfoots underwent heavy scrimmaging, both offensively and defensively. And as usual, the three Oregon quarterbacks, Tom and Jack Crabtree and Wally Russell, got in some passing practice. Casanova especially has been stressing defense in this week's drills, particularly after South ern California .romped to six touchdowns last Friday night. Oregon has allowed its op ponents 478 yards rushing in two games, hardly a notable defen sive record. Duck foes also have recorded 220 yards by passing. What worries Casanova is the fact that Washington has piled up 430 yards on the ground in two games, while holding its ad versaries to 155. The Huskies also have picked up 196 yards by passing. So the Webfoots drilled for a solid hour on defense Wednes day, as the third string ran off simulated Washington plays. As sistant Coaches Jack Roche and Bill Hammer directed the defen sive platoons while head boss Casanova coordinated the operation. Friday, September 30, 1454 ftfBDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THUtTEZK ST. MARY'S PLAYS GP CAVEMEN ON SATURDAY Medford fans will get a sort of preview of the Grants Pass Cave man football contingent here Saturday night St. Mary's high of Medford is host to the Grants Pass varsity reserves in an 8 p.m. struggle. The Cavemen replace Sacred Heart of Klamath Falls. Sacred Heart asked cancellation of the scheduled scuffle giving as a reason a small squad and too many injuries to enable it to field a team for this week end. The Crusaders recognized as team to beat in the Jackson County B. League will go up against a Grants Pass varsity stripped of 12 to 15 of its top players. It will still be a stiff test for the Medford parochial school. Coach Mel Ingram of the Cavemen, who won't be on hand for the game, has termed his club a supervarsity. The crew will be handled by Bill Martell, assistant coach, and Russ Wer ner, jayvee mentor. Heavy Club Grants Pass will pack more weight with the two huge Graves boys, Nathan and Dick, in the lineup. But the Crusaders will rely on speed and deception which has looked impressive in games, so far. St. Mary's would like to have played Sacred Heart but isn't unhappy over the meet ing with the Cavemen which should keep it in tune for later B loop contention. Fundamentals have been the main stress by Crusader Coach Millard Webb this week. His probable starters on i fense are Gerald Darland and Dick Paup, ends; Ed Fogel and Ramon Elberts, tackles; Alson Geren and Francis Murphy, guards; John Walsh, center, and Ron Pruitt, Bill Carey, Laval Meunier and Jim Jones, backs. Walsh has missed previous games because of a shoulder dis location. For defense for SM it may be Jones and G. Darland, ends; El berts and Fogel, tackles; Geren and Murphy, guards; Paup and Meunier, linebackers, Jim Dar land and Carey, halfbacks, and Rodney Read, safety. GP starters may be Gary Tompkins and Bruce Marks, ends; Nathan Graves and Charles Case, tackles; Bill Fawcett and Gary Hadsell, guards; Dick Graves, center; Stan Lewman, quarter; Bill Curnow and Don McCoy, halfs, and Dennis Eck stein or Larry Austin, full.
