MEDFORD$tS&TRIBUKI
Offense Emphasized
By Comets, Tornado
Oitense i getting the main
attention of each school this
eek as the Medtord Black Tor
nado and" Crater high Comets
gird for their third annual foot
ball skirmish. And thatf shows
possibility that there may be a
wide open scoring fray like last
year when Medford won 41 to
19.
The scrap Is billed for 8 p.m.
Friday at the Me3ford stadium.
Medford will go in to the
game the favorite after its 7 to
7 knot with Milwaukie last
week and Crater's humiliation
31 to 7 at the hands of Phoenix.
But the Tornado still Is expect
ing a hard battle and Coach
Leonard Warren of Crater has
stated concerning his Comets, "I
think they'll, be a different ball
club Friday."
Crater as of last night was in
tact physically while Medford
had Halfbacks Gary Riley and
John Hawley on the sick list
and Guard Gary Guss disabled
with a knee injury. However,
Halfback Mike Hawkins, who
played half the time on offense
against Milwaukie, may be able
to go full time against Crater.
Hawkins hurt his ankle in the
season opener against Cleveland
and missed the Gresham and
Roseburg frays.
The Black Tornado .got lots of
work done Monday and Tues
day but took it light in contact.
There was no scrimmage as the
club recuperated from its week
end bruises but there was lots
of running and drill on timing
and plays. A nul blast scrim
mage was slated today. Pass de-
fene is getting attention.
Warren allowed Crater play
ers, who so desired, to go hunt
ing on Monday and only 23 boys
were out for practice. Offense
is getting work to click effec
tively against Phoenix after
getting less attention than de
fense in last week's arms, ine
Crater mentor said that im
provement in downfield block
ing and quicker charging in tne
line is being sought. Warren also
said there may be some changes
in first team sDots. mostly in
the backfield.
Duane Goyette is a back who
has been looking good, showing
well in blocking.
End Carl Koellner is expected
to be back in action for the
Comets on Friday. He turned an
ankle in the Yreka fracas and
has been hobbling for two
weeks. This week he has been
working out hard on the ankle
for the0first time since the injury.

The Wejverines, leading con

St. Mary's-Talent
To Be in Medford

St. Mary's-Talent high school
football tussle was announced
today.
Coach Millard Webb of the St.
Mary's Crusaders said that the
contest will be on the Medford
senior high field at 8 p.m. on
Saturday. The fracas originally
had been slated for Friday at
Talent but had been reset for
Saturday afternoon on the Bull
dogs field.
The night scuffle will still be
considered a Talent "home"
game.
Battle Saturday night will be
for lone leadership of the Jack
son County B League and the
new time will permit more fol
lowers of one win and no losses
in the circuit.
St. Mary's will go into the mix
as favorite -despite some injuries
to top men. However, Talent,
hampered in early games by in
ability of a few of its better
players to be at practices regu
larly, will be stronger for this
week's engagement.
Quarterback and Halfback Bill
Carey, Guard Francis Murphy
and End Gerald Darland are the
Crusader cripples. Carey hurt
