Tornado J V, Crater Comet
Reserves Knot at 12 to 12
Medford high junior varsity
and the Crater varsity reserve
football squads scrapped to a
12 to 12 draw here last night.
There was no further scoring
in the game after Medford's Bob
Gee broke loose for a 58-yard
touchdown run on the first scrim
mage play of the second half.
Gee also tallied the other Junior
Tornado TD with a 31-yard
jaunt on the first play of the
second quarter. Fumbles and
stout Crater line play squelched
the Tornado attack the rest of
the time.
Comet touchdowns came one
each in the first and second
periods forcing Medford to come
from behind twice to tie up the
score. Crater was stopped on
the Medford seven ' yard line
early in the fourth quarter; ,
The Central Point crew was
set up for, its first march when
it recovered a Tornado muff on
the Medford 41. It took the
Comets 10 plays to make the
distance against a slow yielding
home team. Freshman Jerome
McQuade went around end from
eight yards out for the score. He
had gone over from the two on
the previous thrus but an off
side infraction cancelled the try.
Pass Helps March
Medford took the kick-off and
immediately headed for the
Comet goal. Gordon Owsley had
run the kick out to the 37.. One
play lost to the 36 but seven
more took the ball the 64 yards
to the end zone. A 17-yard pass
play, Owsley to Mike Russell,
was the big -gain as Medford
moved down to the Comet 31
by the end of the stanza. As the
second period opened Gee chug
ged through the line and broke
free for the TD runs after a key
block by Russell.
It was then Crater's turn to
take the kick-off and go to the
pay zone. But again it was slow
going as - the Comets used 14
plays to cover. 62 yards against
the tough Medf ordites. , Med
ford had Crater all but halted
on the Tornado 31 with a fourth
down. George Juveland's pass
to Jerry Kime was then com
plete to eat up 28 yards and
put the Comets down 6n the
three.. McQuade crossed the TD
stripe ' from there, barging
through the middle of the line.
Ball Fumbled
Medford opportunity in the re
maining moments of the half
was damaged by a fumble which
Juveland recovered for Crater
on the first play after the Comet
kick-off. Crater took over and
got nowhere, itself. That gave
Medford time for one more play

its 42 as the second half started
and Gee$gad run the kick-off
back 20.vJr"ds., Gee then found
a gap oh 'the right side of his
line, fought through and free
and scooted all the way.
After holding the Comets, the
Tornado moved from its own 37
to the same Comet line. In two
plays, however; Crater threw
Medford back to the Tornado
44. Then John Germann snagged
a Medford fumble on the. 42.
The Comets got a first down
on. the 32 and a roughing the
passer penalty got them another
fresh start on about the Med
ford 17. The Tornado held Cra
ter barely short of a first down
near the seven, although the
Comets somehow had five tries
instead of the usual four; two in
the third quarter and three in
the fourth.
Merlon Intercepts
. Rest of the game was played
out mostly in Medford territory.
The roughing the passer pen
alty spoiled a Medford bid-to
score. Tom Merton had inter
cepted Juveland's throw on the
play and had run from the Med
ford 20 to: the Comet 25. The
infractionuled out the effort.
Crater topped Medford in first
downs 12 to four and in net
yardage 179 to. 136.
Medford's team was made up
of juniors and sophomores and
Crater's of juniors, sophomores
and some freshmen. The Comets
had the service of three players
who see considerable varsity
duty. ' '

Lane, hired by the Cardinals .
last Thursday,-was scheduled to

adequate catching, and a regular
first baseman" as his team's most
pressing needs. . "
Cincinnati could be In a posi
tion to supply some of these,
needs. In particular, the Redlegs
have a solid three-man catching
staff in Smoky Burgess, Hobie
