    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.
GOOD CROWDS SEE JV'i
- Attendance at Madford high
school . junior varsity football
games at home this season has
been sizable, perhaps, stimulated
by the fact two of the games
were at night. But the tiff last
Saturday, which this writer
missed, reportedly drew a good
rowd too. The good following is
as it should be in building up
interest in varsity games and
players of future years. 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.
CLEANLY FOUGHT GAME
For all of the heated rivalry
between Klamath Falls and
Medford, Friday's varsity grid
tussle was a cleanly contested
one. Comment alone; that line
b$ the game officials hat
reached us second hand .
Both clubs hit hard in the fra
cas. Klamath Falls gridders
testified after the game to the
hard-driving Medford play.
TORNADO JAMBOREE HOST
Medford high will be host to
the Southern Oregon conference
basketball jamboree cn Friday,
Decemebr 3. The affair, will be

ment has been reminded. .The
Pirates were in this subdistrict

grouping. North schools, how
ever, were said to have "wish
ed" Glendale into southern di
vision competition with Phoe
nix, Crater. Eagle Point and
Illinois Valley. Brookings and
Henley are not engaged in ri
valry for district honors, al
though Henley fields a team.
JAMES RATED HIGH

Pass high star, has been rated
with Jay Graybeal and Maurey
Van Vliet as the best little backs
in University of Oregon grid his
tory. The ranking is by Dick
Strite, sports editor of the Eu

says James is a cinch to be
named for the Shrine all-star
football game as well as being
a high professional draft choice.

To Be Unveiled
New York (U.R) Artie
Towne, the "Hooded Terror,"
will be unveiled tonight in a
10-round i tele vision fight at St.
Nicholas arena with Milo Sav
age of Salt Lake City, sixth-ranking
middleweight contender.
British writers called Towne
the "Hooded Terror" this year
because he flattened Scotch
champion Willie Armstrong at
1:32 of the first round and Brit
ish Empire champion Johnny
Sullivan at 43 seconds of the
first. Also because he wears a
black fur hood into the ring be
fore disrobing.
Towne, 28, is a New York Ne
gro who returned to the ring
early in 1955 after a three-year
retirement, caused by the unwill
ingness of worthwhile opponents
to meet him.
Since his return. to the ring
this year, Towne won seven
straight fights and had a no-de
cision affair in Germany.
Despite his comeback prowess.
Towpe is a 7-5 underdog.

Three Teams Deadlocked
In Western Professional
Loop After Week-End Tilts
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press Sports Writer
The four top teams in the Na
tional Football League's West
ern Division are separated by
only one game today mainly
because of a last-minute field
goal, quick thinking on a fumble
and the running of a rookie half
back. 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.
First Loss By Rams
While the Rams suffered their
first loss before 26,960 rain
soaked Milwaukee fans, the
Bears whipped Baltimore the
only other previously undefeat
ed team 38-10. Rick Casares, a
rookie halfback, scored twice
for the Bears. 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.
Cleveland defeated the Wash
ington Redskins, 24-14, and the
New York Giants shut out the
Chicago Cardinals, 10-0, in the
other Sunday games. Pittsburgh
kept pace with Cleveland by up
setting the Philadelphia Eagles
Saturday night, 13-7.
Passing And Mistakes
The Browns capitalized on
Otto Graham's passing and Red
skin mistakes. Ed Modzelewski
scored - twice and linebacker
Walt Michaels ran 25 yards for
another Brownie TD after in
tercepting a Ralph Guglielmi
pass.
Quarterback Jim Finks scored

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.
A 28-yard field goal by Ben
Agajanian and Frank Gifford's
six-yard end run gave New York
the points it needed to defeat the
Cardinals in the rain.
Next Sunday's schedule: Chi
chage Bears at San Francisco;
Detroit at Los Angeles; Green
Bay at Cleveland; Philadelphia
at Chicago Cards; Pittsburgh at
New York and Washington at
Baltimore.
