SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Fanfare Now we know how Grants Pass felt." That was the com ment of at least two Medford hiph football Dlavers yesterday when it was mentioned to them that the finish of the Klamath Falls-Medford game last Friday night was somewhat similar to that of the Grants Pass-Medford tussle last vear. The games' conclusions were not exactly alike, of course. But Medford and Grants Pass eacn enir Vtnnpc van ish in the final seconds. Rocky Stone provided the Black Tornado's thriller of the season last year when he snaseed a Caveman pass in his owj)end zone as time was run ning out and amoiea me iengm of the field for a touchdown -cshch meant a Medford 14 to win. Grants Pass was leading in statistics at the time. This year it was a Jerry Ttnrke to Verland Kimpton pass completion with six seconds re maining that earned Klamath a jL3-all tie with Medford. The Pels had a yardage margin which could make the knot as good as a win for them in the district reckoning. It's the hone of this depart ment that knowing how Grants Pass felt won't make the Black Tornado feel sorry for the Cave men when the schools meet here November 4. LOGGER REMINDER . Madford's tie with Klamath ia alio a reminder of the 1953 encounter with Eureka, Calif., feich the Tornado opposes tier this Friday. Two passes, on of 60 yards, setting up on of 14 yards, gave Eureka a. TD and cut the bulge to 14 to f2. Then a 50-yard comple tion cve the Loggers the ball on the Medford two. They went over easily and won the ball gam 19 to 14.

Boys playing in jayvee games this season will be the varsity regu lars of the next two seasons. This year's jayvee aggregation has the reputation of the best Junior Tornado club in a good , . .. ., numDer oi years.

The Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Colts are tied for the lead with 3-1 records and the . San Fran cisco Forty-Niners are close be hind with a 2-2 mark. The champion Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers are dead-locked for the Eastern Division lead with 3-1 records. But the ' weekend action pro duced the most stirring play in the Western race as three rribre upsets struck the scrambled pro circuit. Fullback Fred Cone's 25-yard field goal with only 24 seconds to go enabled Green Bay to de feat -favored Los Angeles, 30-28, and climb back into a first place tie with the Rams and Colts. Halfback Jim Cason's 25-yard sprint with an intercepted pass had given the Rams a 28-27 lead with four minutes to go. Tobin Rote hurled three touchdown passes and Cone kicked three field goals for the Packers. Al (Hoagy) Carmichael ran a Rams' punt back 40 yards to set up the field goal.

His 81-yard run the longest scormg dash of the 1955 NFL season helped the Bears (1-3) break open the game in the second quarter en route to their first triumph. Quarterback Y. A. Tittle furnished the quick thinking that put San .Francisco in the thick of the Western race. He fumbled a pass from center on the Detroit five with less than two minutes to go but scooped up the ball and pitched out to fullback Joe Perry for a touch down. The play climaxed a three touchdown quarter rally that handed the favored Lions their fourth straight defeat, 27-24.

SPORTSMEN Area Posted! Ducks marched 78 yards to score in six plays with Dick James, the fine senior left half, sparking the attack. The drive featured James' 36 yard pass to Bill Tarrow, quar terback Tom Crabtree's 25-yard run around end and a weird play in which Oregon rumbled the ball but wound up on the Cali fornia 4 when Tackle Jerry Kerschner recovered. Miklancic carried the ball over. James, who blocked beauti fully all evening, also got off a 59-yard punt which set up the first Oregon touchdown. Oregon added its final scoreiby taking the second half kickoff 63 yards in 11 plays with Morris scoring from the one. Morris made two conversions and Leroy Phelps added the other. Oregon threatened through out the fourth period, but each time it got near the goal line a penalty would ruin the scoring chance. Oregon, which lost to Colo rado by fumbling six times, gave up only one fumble to California. The Oregon line.bolstered by fine play of Lon Stiner, Art Weber, Norm Chapman and others, outcharged California all evening. Dick Bielski's fumble on the Eagle five to start Pittsburgh to victory over Philadelphia. Lynn Chandnois ran five yards for the winning touchdown in the third period.
