Baylor Hands
Washington
First Loss 13-7
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) The
clutch passing and pile-driving
smashes of third-string quarter
back Bobby Jones Saturday gave
Baylor a 13-7 victory over pre
viously undefeated Washington
before 42,000 football fans.
Jones powered into the end-
zone from six inches out just
four seconds before the end of
the first half to match a second-
period Washington touchdown
And mid-way in the third period
he passed to end Henry Grem-
minger in the end zone for the
second tally:
Record of 4-1
The loss was 12th ranked
Washington's first in five games
this season and it kept intact
Texas' domination of Pacific
Northwest football teams. Never
in history has a team from this
region defeated one from Texas.
Washington also scored from
six inches out when quarterback
Steve Roake dived over the line
to climax a 43-yard drive that
started when end Corky Lewis
recovered Baylor halfback Del
Shofner's fumble. Dean Derby's
kick was good.

Rogue River
' Phoenix In another display
of its football might. Phoenix
high swamped Rogue River 40 to

run up a bulge of, 33 to 0 in
three cantos. -
While Delmar Brood and
John Garner contributed'' two

Klamath Falls Scores Late To

ineres an intangible some

morale to lofty heights whenever
the Medford high school football
team appears in Pelican-town.
For that reason the Modoc field

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

ran down the left sideline to the
goal. 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-

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.
