Red Raiders
To Take On
EOC Gridders
Ashland Southern Oregon
college's grid squad is expected
to be at full strength this week
end. ind there's every indication
the Red Raiders willkave to be.
Their fourth conflict of the
' season takes them to LaGrande
on Saturday to tackle the East
ern Oregon college Mountain
eers, a club which spilled Ore
gon Technical Institute 27 to 6
last week.
SOC's passing showed need of
further labor last Saturday when
the Raiders bounced Portland
State 20 to 6. So that depart
ment has got considerable at
tention in this week's practices
Coach Al Akins has reported
Halfback Ten Tenney back with
the squad. Tenney, out of ac
tion last week end because of a
bad ankle sprain, should see duty
but he's not slated to start.
A 1954 hand of the Raiders
moved back into his old place.
Herb Cplley, ex-Central Point
high player, reportedly has re
gained his starting tackle spot.
He was a late returnee to the
SOC squad this falL
Starters Listed
At the other tackle Saturday
will likely be Al Sodaro, who
drew praisfrom Akins after the
Portland State mix for turning
in his finest game of the year.
Possible starting ends against
the Mounties are Hank Smith
and Walt McCoy while Chuck
Romine and Don Dickson may
be at guards and Chuck Quin
owski at center.
Bill Seymour probably will be
at quarterback, Ralph Clarflo at
left half, Bill Rush at right haf
and Don Korns at fullback.
The Raiders will be up against
plenty of ball club. ' Assistant
Coach Ted Schopf, who scouted
the Mountaineers at .Klamath
Falls, brought back reports that
EOC could have won by an even
bigger margin. '
Top back of the Eastern Ore
gon club is Bill West, a first
string linebacker, for Oregon
State college before entering mil
itary service. He was a star at
LaGrande in high school. A pair
of scatbacks are Dick Quinn and
Terry Zeiganhagen. The Moun
ties have a fine pass-receiving

RED RAIDER COG Chuck Romine, above, former all-conference
guard at Medford High and 1949 Shrine game player, is currently
one of the line cogs of the Southern Oregon college football team.
Romine figured strongly in the Raiders' 20 to 6 victory over Port
land State college last week end. He's being counted on for lots
of service this Saturday when SOC plays Eastern Oregon college
at LaGrande. -.- . - .

"We're ready" was the main
statement from each school as
Medford and Crater high grid
ders awaited tonight's 8 o'clock
kick-off at the local stadium for
their third annual fracas.
Coach Fred Spiegelberg of the
Black "Tornado elaborated little
beyond those two words. But he
did add, "We'll be out there."
At Central Point, where the
picture was mighty dreary after
Wednesday night's workout,
Crater Coach Leonard Warren
reported, "The boys are more
ready than I thought they were.
They might do something after
all."
Hope for the Comets to give
a favored Medford aggregation
a rugged scuffle stemmed from
more fire and more life shown
in Thursday afternoon's drill.
The Comets had been sluggish
and spiritless in their Wednes
day practice.
Near Full Strength
Both clubs will be at near full
strength for their engagement
Tornado players sidelined are
Tackles Rodney Hammer and
Mel Morgan and End Ed Reink-
mg. The two tackles have broken
hands in hard casts and Reink
ing has a broken bone in his foot.
Hammer's injury came early
in the season. Morgan was hurt
a week ago Thursday and missed
the Milwukie game but his in
jury somehow has previously
escaped mention. Mel has been a
first call defensive lineman. His
spot likely will be filled by
Larry Cranston tonight. Reink-
ing was crippled in practice this
week.
Halfback Jack Lilly is -the
principal Comet hobbled. He was
banged up in practice Wednes
day and his hip is troubling him
the most. Lilly likely will see
limited service with Bob Mason
likely getting the starting offen
sive call in his position. Duane
Krout figures as defensive half.
Mason is a linebacker.
Medford and Crater both took
it light last night. The Comets
worked over some defensive
switches and worked on offen
sive signal drill with the idea of
improving the elements of faking
ana speed.
The Comets will place a split
T attack against Medford's com
bined T and single wing offen
sive. Concentration in both
camps this week has been on
sharpening, those offenses. The
result could be a wide open con
test unless a Medford objective
is achieved. Tornado players
hope to grab possession -of the
ball as often as possible and
make their offensive move suf
ficiently to have control of the
pigskin most of the time.
Tonight's affair., is sort of a
rubber game. The Comets won
the first meeting -two seasons
back and Medford was victor
last year. Crater is still an A-2
school while Medford is in A-l
class. Therefore prestige rather
than any conference or district
honors are ' at stake. However,
the Comets appear almost cer
tain to join Medford, Ashland,
Grants Pass and Klamath Falls
in the A-l category next year.
The battle is also the fifth this
year for each club. Medford has
a 12 to 6 nod over Cleveland of
Portland, a 13 to 0 loss to Gres
ham, a 14 to 6 win over Rose
burg and a 7 to 7 tie with- MiL
waukie behind it. Crater whip
ped Glendale 32 to 0, lost to
Yreka, Calif., 13 to 12, beat
Redmond 32 to 20 and lost to
Phoenix 30 to 7.
The game will be.the last for
Medford before meeting con
ference opponents.

Maryland held the Bruins to
a minus 21 yards net from
ground plays but Sanders' club
finally got rolling last week in
its 55-0 rout of Washington State.
Fullback Bob Davenport, tail
back Sam Brown and wingback
Chuck Hollaway all piled up big
chunks of yardage in the victory.
Brown starts again at tailback
for UCLA, but the injured Ron
nie Knox is expected to get into
the game for some action. Knox
bruised a shoulder in the Mary
land loss.
TORNADO BACK Dave Bos
worth, above, offensive fullback
and defensive halfback, is among
the Black Tornado players who
will mix with Crater high at
8 o'clock tonight at the Medford
field. Bosworth lettered as a
sophomore but an auto accident
sidelined him just before the
season started in 1954.

McLoughlin
Plays Crater
On Saturday
McLoughlin junior high ninth
grade has its first full-fledged
ruckus, of the season Saturday.
The Bulldogs take on Crater at
the Medford gridiron at 1:30
p.m.
Coaches- Mel ;Boldenow and
Bill Shepherd have placed heavy
stress on fundamentals in drills'
so ' far this season Saturday's
hassle will be first regulation
game in which the mentors can
see how well the training has
paid off.
A practice scrimmage last
week, in which McLoughlin
edged Hedrick 13 to 0, gave the
coaches their first look 'at their
club ' in action against another
team). Since then much work
has been aimed at perfecting
blocking in the line.
Head man Boldenow has indi
cated possible starters ' in the
line as Bob Plankenhorn and
Bob Greier, ends; Donald- Mann
and Jim Fontaine, tackles; Doug
Meier and Warren Chick, guards,
and Dennis Barr, center. In the
backfield it may be Fred Funs
ton, quarterback; Bill Wallace,
left half; John'Conley, right
half, and Gerry Lyons, fullback.
Since Medford junior high tal
ent' is split between two schools,
McLoughlin and Hedrick, for the
first time this year, fans are in
terested in seeing .how well the
two clubs stand up against out
side opposition in comparison to
previous years when all the play
ers were combined into one
squad. Hedrick played Grants
Pass here this afternoon.
Tommy Jackson
Faces Rex Layne
Detroit (U.R) Tommy (Hurri

tion pugilist ranked number
three contender for heavyweight
champion Rocky Marciano's ti
tle, paused briefly between calis
thenics and said he wouldn't pre
dict the outcome of .his nation
ally televised fight tonight with
Rex Layne.
Sweat streaming from his 192-
pound frame as he pumped to
and fro doing sirups, Jackson
said only that he was in "good
condition and ready" for Layne,
a ponderous Utah farmer rated
10th among challengers for Mar
ciano's crown. .-.
"I get lazy when I stop
working and I can't afford to be
lafy against Layne tonight, mod
estly asserted Jackson, a four-to-one
choice to win his ninth
straight fight. The 24-year-old
native of Far Rockaway, N. Y.,
appeared in top shape for the
bout which . could speed his
chances for a shot at the Brock
ton Block Buster.

Moore Still
Rated No. 1
Contender
New York U.R) Archie
Moore is still ranked top heavy
weight contender in today's is
sue of Ring magazine's ratings-
perhaps the early harbinger of
a return title fight with Rocky
Marciano next June.
Although old Archie was
knocked out in the ninth round
on Sept. 21 by Marciano, "the
fighter of the month," his great
stand against the unbeaten
champion kopt him atop the con
tenders heap.

at number two and number
three respectively; but ' Nino
Valdes of Cuba rose from sev

posed by promoter Jim Norris
