Phoenix, C
Crews Mix
Phoenix The stage was set
here for tonight's top prep foot
ball game in the Rogue River
valley. o
Phoenix high's Pirates and the
Crater high Comeflts lock in a
Rogue League and District 6
A-2 scrap, the first conference
action for each team. 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

Portland State's Vikings are

Troy Picked
Over Speiser

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.

Multnomah stadium in Portland.
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.

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.
