Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Klamath Falls Scores Late To Gain 13-13 Tie With Tornado ineres an intangible some thing which boosts Klamath morale to lofty heights whenever the Medford high school football team appears in Pelican-town. For that reason the Modoc field jinx of the Black Tornado lingers on. - " Ahead in yardage but behind on the scoreboard, the Klamath union high Whitebirds struck through the air in the final sec onds Friday night to keep alive a 10-year hoodoo and gain a 13 all deadlock with Medford's Tornado in one of the top chiller- thrillers in, the long-time tradi- Allen Drews kicked all five extra points plus one field goal Friday night when Grants Pass dumped Ashland 38 lo 14 at Ashland in a Southern Oregon Conference grid mix. The Caveman back, who has seen no contact work since injury in the GP season open er, booted the ball from the 29-yard line. Grants Pass outgained Ash land 409 yards to 1S9 in the struggle and had 16 first down's to Ashland's five. tional rivalry between the South ern Oregon Conference schools. And, in the final analysis, the tie in their peak performance of the year may prove as good as a victory for the Pelicans. A desperation 23-yard touch down pass, Jerry Burke to Ver land Kimpton, set into motion with 12 seconds left on the clock and completed with just six sec onds left to go, erased a 13 to 7 Tornado lead and upset what seemed to be almost certain triumph. Kimpton snared the ball in the midst of three Tor nado defenders. Kick Try Fizzle That did not end the tension. Klamath still had a conversion try. But it fizzled when Reserve Dannie Shaw's center - snap struck the ground. The ball bounced into the arms of would be kicker Larry Heaton. He tried to run but was nailed be fore he- could reach goal. The tie marked the fifth time in a row since 1945 that Medford has earned no better than a dead lock on Modoc turf. It was the second straight fray in which the Pelicans at home have risen in the fourth quarter to smother Medford aspirations. . Klamath rallied to win 26 to 18 in 1953. Spectaqular football with long runs, desperate goal line stands, a field goal try which missed by inches was in keeping with the lively, vigorous Medford-Klam-ath rivalry throughout the years. The hassle found the charging Pelicans at their best this sea son. Medford matched, if not bettered, its previous efforts of the year. All the scoring was on long runs or long passes. Halfback Lee McGill unloosed an 80-yard touchdown jaunt in the first quarter. Halfback John Bellack hurled a 29-yard TD pass to his Medford mate, Mike Hawkins, in the second quarter and Half back Gary Riley erupted for a 41 yard touchdown journey in the third stanza. Copple Attempts Kick Medford, halted Klamath bids on its nine-yard and its 10, 12 and 24. Klamath stopped Tor nado within a foot of pay off turf and on the 14 where End Larry Copple came so close on the kicking try. When it was over Klamath Falls had the margin in yardage statistics, officially and unoffi cially, which can mean the dif ference in a committee vote should the Pels and Tornado knot for the District 6 A-l diadem. Ernie Bishop's official count had 366 KF to 289 net Medford. Press box tabulation gave Klamath 298, Medford 266. McGilFs long sprint to the Medford end zone occurred the second time Klamath got hold of the ball and on the Pelicans third srrl.Tirrrage try of the game. The Pe iook over on their 20 after the punt by Medford's Larry Gober went into the end zone.

McGill also added the con version kick for a 7 to 0 Klamath lead. Hoist Retrieves Fumble The Klamathites got another opportunity soon when Tackle Keith Cooper fell on a Medford fumble on the Tornado 24-yard line. Five plays took the Pels to the nine but two pass tries were incomplete and Medford took over on downs. Medford battled out to its 48 aided by a 32-yard fake punt run by Fullback Gober but two pen alties and a loss, when Riley slipped while trying to pass, put the Tornado back on the 27. A quick kick by Gober as the first quarter ended then set Klamath back to its 22. Klamath got out to the 32 but was put back to the 16 for clipping. The Pels then fought out to the 20 but Guard Monte Hoist pounced on a fum ble at that point and Medford had it first golden opportunity. In five plays the Medfordites were a foot away from the zone stripe but Fullback Dave Bos worth was held for no gain on fourth down. Quarterback Kimp ton kicked out immediately to the Medford 35 and Safetyman Riley got back to the 29. Med ford couldn't be denied a touch down. Bellack heaved to Haw kins, who was over the goal in a couple of strides. End Dick Cop pie's kick was wide to the right. Go To 14- Medford got another surge underway from its 39 the next time it seized possession of the pigskin. The Hawkins to Bellack pass combination clicked for 26 yards to the Klamath 35. Bellack went over right tackle 15 yards to the 20. Av motion penalty put the Medfords back to the 25 but Bel1 lack got to the .16. Another movement infraction backed the Tornado to the 21 but gains by Hawkins and Gober reach the 14. On fourth down Copple made his second field goal try of the season. It was wide by about 3 foot, although high enough. Kla math tobk over on its 20. Klamath marched from its 29 to the Medford 10 in the third quarter with one pass from the 12, with touchdown written on it, being knocked down by Riley. Medford took over but was in trouble again when Cooper made his second fumble recovery, this time on the 28. The Tornado held, nevertheless, . setting the Pels back to the 43 and taking over on its 13 after Kimpton's kick. Riley Sparkles. Five trys worked the ball to the 35 and Hawkins shook loose for a 24-yard run around left end to the Pel 41. Then came the most spectacular running play of the night. Riley with good blocking went round right end and swung to his leff. He was hit repeatedly by KF tacklers but an unceremonious push ' by a teammate and his own hard, shifty running shook the half back free and he made the whole distance to the goal ,to put Med ford in front 12 to 7. Copple's third thump from placement was good this time making the count 13 to 7. The third time ran out as Riley's run was being made. In the fourth panel Medford held determinedly until the final fatal seconds. Klamath paced by hard-running Tom Fer rell, once reached the Tornado 12 where Riley recovered a fum ble. Gober punted out to the 50 and KF's Joe Linman ran back to the 36. The Pels got to the 24 where Hoist knocked down a fourth down pass to halt the drive with slightly more than two minutes left. Tornado Takes Heart Medford worked slowly, hop ing time would run out, and was assessed one motion penalty and one "too much time" offense but with about half-a-minute left when Gober was forced to punt. About 12 seconds were on the clock when Burke went back to throw to Kimpton and zippetj the aerial through the Tornado defenders. i Medford's gridders, stung by having victory once more taken from their grasp, took heart Sat- every fuel dollar! Phone 2-6251 urday that they still have chance for conference and dis trict laurels. Coach Fred Spiegel berg expressed it for the squad by saying, "We're still okeh." He indicated that the Tornado came through in good physical shape. It was conceded that Klamath Falls had the edge in the spirited line play but that the Med fordites,, with the hard running by Bellack, Riley and Hawkins and the kicking of Gober, had the better balance in the backfield. Hoist, Tackle Neil Plumley, End Mike Stearns and Guard and Linebacker Jack Gregory were front men who gave the Kla math offense rough moments and Riley was a stalwart back field defender.
