Jacksonville
Talent Host
Civ Thursday
Jacksonville Still short on
manpower, still crippled and still
seeking their first win of the sea
son, Jacksonville's Redskins play
the Talent high football team
Thursday night.
The Jackson County B League
brush will be on the lighted field
at Central Point. Game time is
8 p.m.:It will be the third league
lt for each school.
Talent will be the favored
deb. The Bulldogs have beaten
Prospect 15 to 12 and they gave
St. Mary's, top-rated club of the
loop, a good scare before bowing
39 to 20 last Saturday. Jackson
ville lost 25 to 0 to Prospect and
44 to 0 to Rogue River in league
frays.
Guches Hurt
Fullback Bob Guches' may be
the big loss to Jacksonville this
week. He hurt a knee in the
Rogue River tussle last Friday
and had not been out to practice
through Wednesday. Guches
might see limited action but isn't
slated to start, Coach Fred Rich
ardson said. Ron Muir, who has
been a defensive end, is expected
to get the fullBack call.
Other backfield starters for
the Redskins may be Clyde
Smith, quarterback; Ron Davis,
left " half; and Floyd Driskell,
right half.
Gary West, who has seen some
backfield duty, is nevertheless
more valuable in Jacksonville's
crew in the Jine. He'll be at a
tackle this week along with Fred
McKee or Al Chaboude. Ends
may be Eldon Smith and Jack
Daley or Eddie Paxton with
Johnny Allen at center and Gary
Smith and Bob Clark at guards.

Tornado Out To Bust Jinx
In Fray at Klamath Field;
Pelicans Hefty,
Medford high's football aggre
gation will be out to bust a long
standing jinx Friday night when
they take on the Klamath Falls
Pelicans in a Southern Oregon
Conference and District 6 A-l en
counter. Not since 1945, when it ran up
a 51 to 0 count, has the Black
Tornado been able to whip the
Pelicans on Modoc field at Klam
ath Falls. Closest Medford grid
ders have come to victory since
then in the Whitebird's nest was
a scoreless deadlock in 1947.
Chances are rated "good" that
the Black Tornado can change
its luck this time but will have
to turn back ' a crew which is
strong despite three setbacks and
only two victories so far this
year.
"A big hefty line and a de
ceptive backfield" sums up the
description of the Pelicans in a
few words this year. The boys
up front who open the holes for
the tricky backs are almost all
experienced. Coach John ; Mc
Ginnis has letterman starters for
every "position except center.
That spot is held by Cal Tichenor,
a 194-pound junior.
Kingpin lof the line is Modesto
(Little Mo) Jiminez, 208-pound
senior letterman guard. Jiminez,
also team captain, was hurt in
early season play and is just now
getting back into full time duty.
He might see only defensive ac
tion against the Tornado. His
first line replacement is Al Sieg
ner, . 187-pound non-letterman
junior.
Letterman ends are Larry Hea
ton and Bill Badorek. At tackles
vets are Bob Harshbarger and
Jim Mc Gee. Roy Ropp is mono
gram wearer at guard.
In the backfield Donn Taucher
is quarterback. He's a letterman
as is Dave Leeling, fullback. Lee
McGill and Tom Ferrell are non
letterman halfbacks. A non-letterman
right behind Taucher is
at quarter is Peter Kimpton. Tau
Jones Favored
Over Andrews
Miami (U.R) Ralph (Tiger)
Jones, the machine-like middle
weight of Yonkers, N.Y., is fa
vored at 12-5 to beat speedy Al
Andrews of Superior, Wis., to
night in their TV-radio fight -at
Dinner Key auditorium.
Andrews hopes to snap out
of the worst slump Of his car
eer. He lost five of his eight
bouts this year.
Tiger Ralph, seventh -ranked
contender for " the 160-pound
title, is favored because of his
record, his aggressiveness and
his stamina. Both men are only
fair punchers.
Buffalo, N.Y. XU.R) The Buf

'Hawkins Has Flu
Only reported week-end cas
ualty of the Black Tornado was
Halfback Mike Hawkins who
came down with flu. He missed
practice Monday but was on hand
without pads for yesterday's
drill. Hawkins is still bothered
by an ankle injury suffered in
the season starter game but can
"go" on the ankle. Tackle Rod
Hammer, laid up for some time
by a hand fracture, has had the
cast removed from the hand.
The Tornado, tuning up its sur
prises for Klamath, had a good
scrimmage last night. Each squad
member got to play about 15
minutes. Defense got attention
for a half hour.
Information dug up by Clay
Hannon, sports editor of the
Klamath Falls Herald and News,
shows that Medford has 20 wins
over the Pels since .1923. Klam
ath has won eight times and four
games have ended in ties.
Medf ord's biggest victory mar
gin was 98 to 0 in 1927. The Pels
whipped Medford 40 to 7 in
1943.

UCLA Takes
Over Lead
In Defense
Los Angeles (U.R) UCLA
has replaced Washington as the
Pacific Coast conference top de
fensive team while Stanford has
maintained its offensive leader
ship, statistics from the PCC
commissioner's office disclosed
today.

and pass defense. Stanford leads
in rushing offense and total of
fense. The Bruins have yielded ,an
average of 191 yards a game.

ton, upset winners over South
ern California, has given up

ornia, 206.3. California tops PCC

ROOKS WORK OUT
Corvallis U.R) Oregon
State's Rook football team
worked out under the lights
again last night under the watch
ful eyes of varsity coach Tommy
Prothro as well as fresh coach

the momentary glory arrived it
came with a bang, as UCLA
scored four touchdowns on the
ground, and a pair through the
air.
The loss of a perfect record
and self-esteem were not the se
verest setbacks the "new look"
Beavers experienced. Fighting
off the charges of the burly Bru
ins put at least 12 players on the
injury list, with three listed as
doubtful for next Saturday
night's non-counter with College
of the Pacific in Stockton.
Starting end Norm Thiel is
nursing a bruised leg, first-string
blocking back Ron Siegrist a
wrenched elbow, and second
string tailback Ray Westfall a
hip crest. If that is not enough,
starting tailback Joe Francis, the
hula-hipped Hawaiian who paces
the team in passing and total of
fense, resprained an ankle in the
UCLA battle.
LA Boys To Help
Should Francis be forced to sit
this one out, and Westfall not
see action, the Beavers would
rely on Bernard Bruce, a 171
pound sophomore transfer from
Los Angeles, and Frank Negri,
168-pound junior transfer from
the same city, to handle the tail
back chores. Both have seen lim
ited duty in the three games
played thus far. Francis and
Westfall rank as the top two
punters on the team.
To add to Prothro's burdens
fall rains in Corvallis have
turned practice fields into lakes.
However, the coach indicated
that he would probably rest the
team most of the week, so as to
be in shape for the following
week's homecoming game with
Washington State.
Rook coach Dick Twenge has
taken two looks at the COP Ti
gers, against Cincinnati and Ida
ho, and predicted the Beavers
would have to be in top form
to knock off the California inde
pendents. This will be the first
meeting of the two schools, and
is slated as Homecoming on the
COP campus.
The Beavers will fly from Cor
vallis, weather permitting, by
chartered airline on Friday after
noon, and will return to Corval
lis after the game Saturday
night.
