G Tornado, Whitebirds Scuffle In District Fracas Tonight If Medford high's biennial football roundtrip to Klamath Falls tonight and the traffic on Highway 66 may be as hot and heavy as the traditional rivalry between the two schools. Five bus loads of students, one o the vehicles carrying players and another filled with band members, will be the main units of the caravan to Pelican town and hundreds of Medford resi dents may make the jaunt by private auto. The longtime rivalry and dis trict title aspirations are expect ed to make the encounter the highest-spirited conflicts of the season for both clubs. Records so far"' this season will have little bearing on the outcome of -the clash and it'll be the club "up" the most after 8 p.m. kick-off time which comes out on top. Tornado Improved Prognosticators early in the year regarded the Pelicans with a veteran line returning as the powerhouse of the Southern Oregon conference. But mid season Impressions are that an improved Black Tornado could well repeat as conference and district champion. The Pelicans have beaten Grant of Portland and LaGrande an have lost to Eugene in Ore gon competition. Their setbacks at the hands of Boise, Ida., and Riding, Calif., can't be figured in their Oregon rating. Med ford's victories have been over Cleveland of Portland, Roseburg and Crater and the lone setback has been at the hands of No. 2 ranked Gresham. The Tornado tied Milwaukie. Medford has run ahead of Klamath in Dress and coaches' ratings in polls this week. Mejdford Coach Fred. Spiegel hertf cave little change in his club over yesterdays report Possible offensive starters for Medfcrd tonight in the line are Oick CoDDle and Jerry Gatlin ends; Al Boardman and Neil Plumlev tackles: Monte Hoist nd Jack Gregory, guards; and Gary Shaffer, center. In the backfield it may be Dick Mc Lauehlin at auarter. and be tween John Bellack and Gary Riley at left half, Mike Hawkins nd John Hawlev at rieht half nd Dave Bosworth and Larry Gober at fullback. Defensive Man Starting on defense may be Maary Butts and Mike Stearns, ends; Plumley and . Larry Cran ston, ackles; Hoist and . Bob ; Apple, guards; Gregory and Mc Laughlin, linebackers; Bellack and Bosworth, halfbacks, and Riley, safety. There's a first stringer ait al most every spot in the Klamath Falls line and whether it will be at its best may depend large ly on the physical condition of kingpin guard Modesto Jimdnez. The "fire-'em-up" guy has been crippled for several games and reportedly is just getting back into shape. It is more than like ly that Coach John McGinnis has taken it easy with the star guard in order that he'll be ready for the Tornado. Medford hasn't whipped the Pels at Klamath Falls since 1945. There have been some close calls but on each occasion the breaks have worked out for the Whitebird eleven. MEDFORfiUkTRIBUllI siPdDmnrs Big Loop Careers Appear Through For Joost, Lopat Brundage Should No Worry About Squaw Valley San Francisco (U.R) Two Californians who ought to know said today - Avery . Brundage needn't worry about Squaw Valley's preparations for the , Olmpic Winter Games in 1960. Satate Sen. Harold T. John son of Roseville, who sponosred the initial bill allocating $1,000, 000 to the games, predicted the Legislature would "speedily aD- sary. ' "Gov. Goodwin Knight has appointed a very high type of commission, which is now mak ing preliminary surveys of the area's needs for the games," Johnson said. "Until the studies are completed, the exact costs e will not be known." He estimated another $1,500,- 000 will be necessary and pre dicted a bill appropriating this amount would have no trouble in -the Legislature. Tribune Want Ads Br FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Ed Lopat and Eddie Joost had their press clippings and that is just about all left of their bie leaeue careers today The veteran pitcher and short stoD. both of whom overcame physical shortcomings to become stars, were released Thursday by the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox. The Orioles announced that they were asking waivers on the 37-year-old Lopat in order to give him his unconditional re lease. The Red Sox, meanwhile announced they had given the 39-vear-old Joost his outright re lease.

Coach Iw Williamson's Badg ers are a touchdown favorite to beat Southern California. Wisconsin seeks revenge for its 1953 Rose Bowl loss to South ern California, the only Pacific Coast team which has racked up a victory over a Big Ten repre sentative in the Pasadena class ic. The Trojans, angered by a stunning 7-0 upset loss to Wash ington last week, are determined to regain some lost national pres tige by dumping the Badgers. Bruising Drill For four days Coach Jess Hill sent the Trojans through heavy workouts in preparation for to night's game. Reports from the SC practice field were that the Trojans engaged in sdtne of their most bruising contact work of the season. - Both teams feature multiple of fenses. Leading the Southern California attack is halfback Jon Arnett, a triple threat perform er, and sophomore C. R. Roberts, who moved into the starting line up this week. Roberts, a 200 pounder, is the fastest man on the SC team and gives Hill an explosive one-two punch with Arnett. Wisconsin's attack is paced by quarterback Jim Haluska and fullback Charles Thomas.

A Star Infielder Joost, a star infielder despite the handicap of wearing glasses, was a weak hitter when he broke in with the Cincinnati Redlegs in 1936. After nine sea sons in the National league he dropped back into the minors in 1946 but then returned to the big time with the Philadelphia Athletics. With a revised stance Joost became a dangerous long-ball hitter in the American league for seven years. He then man aged the Athletics before they were transferred to Kansas City. The Red Sox picked him up as a free agent last spring but he hit only .193 in 56 games for them this year. The Red Sox also announced the transfer of catcher Guy Mor ton to Louisville in the Ameri can league and the purchase of eight minor leaguers. They were shortstop Don Buddin, pitcher Jerry Casale and outfielders Marty Keough, Bob Jenkins and Gordon Windhorn from Louis ville and pitchers Joe Albanese and Roy Tinney and catcher Gerald Zimmerman from Greens boro.

Kennedy, now 34, struck out 456 batters in the Coqstal Plain league in 1946. The world champion Brooklyn Dodgers called up seven players from their minor league system and sent catcher Dixie Howell to St. Paul.

Paul Brown Shrewd Grid Deal Maker By EARL WRIGHT United Ptess Sports Writer Paul Brciwn.the man in the brown suit who is a coach, gen eral manager, club director and vice-president for the Cleveland Browns, also has another import ant job. H e may be pro football's shrewdest trader. In pro football's annual draft of college stars, the champion always picks last. Brown's team always a league or division titleholdefr has picked last or next-to-leet every year since it was organized in 1946. With his original stars drop ping out and other teams get ting early choices in the draft, Brown has been forced to bol ster his club by trading. His latest suueessful trade ap pears to be his swap of 36-year-old fullback Marion Motley to the Pittsburgh Stellers for full back Ed (Big Mo) Modzelewski. Motley has been past his prime since 1950. The 220-pound Mod zelewski and Fred Morrison, a 218-pound fullback - halfback Browni acquired in a swap last year with the Chicago Bears, are the big, new cogs in Cleve land's, sturdy running attack this seaso:p.
