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.

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

Mix Tonight
Los Angeles (U.R) Wis
consin and Southern California,
two "mad" football teams, meet
tonight in an intersection game
which is expected to lure more
than 70,000 fans to Memorial
coliseum.
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. Redlegs Announce Deal
The Cincinnati Redlegs also
announced a deal the purch
ase of former minor league
strikeout marvel Bill Kennedy
from Seattle in the Pacific Coast
league where he had a 1.91 ERA
in 51 games. 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. Called up were first
baseman Jim Gentile, pitcher
Bill Harris and outfielder Bob
Wilson from Montreal; shortstop
Jasper Spears and catcher Mike
Napoli from St. Paul and out
fielder Dick Williams and third

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.
Stingy With Praiso

especfially with three-quarters of
