Tornado Aims To End Eureka String of Victories Tonight Me&ford high's Black Torna do, trying to end a losing streak iik contention with a traditional California foe, engages the hot- rolling Eureka Loggers at the senior high stadium here to night with play ball time billed for 8 o'clock. The Tornado, going for its 18th victory in 25 outings with the California coastal powerhouse, hag stumbled in its last three tries to improve on its record Not since a 46 to 14 triumph in 1951 has the Medford eleven been able to beat Eureka. The Loggers, with only three wins over Medford andone tie up to 1952, trimmed Medford 21 to 7 that year then repeated the success 19 to 14 in 1953 and 12 to 7 last season. It's "even money and your choice" tonight as to whether Eureka will run its string to four straight or whether Med ford will halt the tide. No ac curate comparisons of the clubs are available. However, the Log gers come to Medford with a record of 16 consecutive deci sions against all comers begin ning in 1953. Eureka was un beaten in 10 games last year. Green But Strong This year's edition of the Log gers, under new Coach! Dick Ren- fro has been classified as green but already it has run up five wins with sizable scores in every gStne. It has the usual heft of former Eureka elevens plus a good attack both running and passing from the split T. Key men in the attack is Quar terback Rich Mayo. All-county last year, he runs and passes well and is a good performer under fire. Errol Scott, a 195 pound fullback, is the big run ning threat while Fred Whit- mire, a halfback, is fast and a good breakaway performer. The logger line is tough with Fred Scheffler, a vet at center. There are three 200-pounder linemen, Jerry Winters, end, and Gene Edinger and Tiny Hubler, Stephen Eichelberger Gets URA Expert Medal Washington, D.

Versatile Attack Medford, itself, has a versa tile attack, with both running and passing threats generalled by Dick McLaughlin at quarter back. Backs John Bellack, Gary Riley, Mike Hawkins, John Haw ley, Dave Bosworth and Larry Gober have all flashed ball pack ing ability and McLaughlin, Bel lack, and Riley are particular passing threats. There has been concentration on the single wing this week but the Tornado could come through with T plays, too. Aim in drills has been to polish "old stuff" more than to perfect any thing new. There was some fear that Med ford spirits would be down this MedfordJTribune ST. MARY'S OPPOSES REDSKINS ON SATURDAY St. Mary's high encounters the last remaining adversary in its Jackson County B League "foot ball campaign Saturday night and the defending champs will be heavily favored in their Homecoming tussle against the Jacksonville Redskins. Victory will make the Cru saders unblemished county champions for the second suc cessive year and will send them on, without further 'challenge, into defense of the district laurels they gained last year. An 8 p.m. kick-off time has been set for the scuffle with the Red skins. Coach Millard Webb has re ported that the St. Mary's eleven is well primed for the Saturday skirmish. He said the Crusader spirit this week is the best its been all year. The club is in its best shape physically since the Grants Pass ruckus. And, with almost all hands present, there's been a full team to run against in practice. As a result Webb feels Crusader de fnese particularly should be im proved. While morale is high, St. i Mary's is not taking Jackson ville lightly, the coach had pointed out. The Redskins oc cupy bottom spot in the league standings but recently they've shown more fighf and desire and they've a wide open style which could easily catch fire and rock the Medford club. Jacksonville 'goes for broke" on every play TRACTION RECAPS Here is the best week against a non-league rival, but the trend was the other way in a good and long workout yes terday and there was every hope that the Tornado will show its fighting fury. The workout yes terday was longer than usual for Thursday but there was no real heavy work. The club went over formations for punt returns, extra point kicks and kick-offs. Coach Fred Spiegelberg re ported - Bellack on hand last night, after missing drill Wed nesday because of a sore throat. Rod Hammer, tackle, may see his first action of the season. He suffered a broken hand before the first game. Tonight's game matches clubs coached by former college team mates. Renfro and Spiegelberg played at Washington State. and is a gambling club. Crowd Pleaser With St. Mary's offense, itself, sparkling to spectacular, there's evidence 'sufficient of crowd pleaser struggle. Webb has indicated that back field duties Saturday will be pretty well divided among five players with a sixth to see at least some service. The five Crusaders are Bill Carey, Jim Jones, Laval Meunier and Dick Paup. Rodney Read, who has played at end, is the other slated for work behind the line. He's showing well in drills and is fast like his brother, Stan, Ore gon Class B sprint star, who played his last football at St. Mary's last fall. Rodney, a sop homore, reportedly has more speed than his brother displayed as a second year prepper. The boys starting in the up front sots and opening the way for the backs may be Gerald Darland and Jerry Flakus or Tony Miksche, end; Ramon El berts and Eddie Fosel. tackle; Alson Geren and Francis Mur phy guards,'' and John Walsh, center. . ' Jacksonville starters may be Eldon Smith and Tom King, ends; Gary West and Al Cha boude, tackles; Bob Clark and Gary Smith, guards; John Al len, center; and Clyde Smith, John Winningham, Ron Davis and Bob Guches, backs.

Injuries Hit Professional Grid Crews ' By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer National Football League teams, with three-quarters of the season to go, have been hit heavily by injuries and hopes for division titles may largely be determined by the size of a team's hospital- list. It's significant that the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Colts suffered their first 1955 defeats last Sunday after losing a number of key players. Los Angeles is hurting. Such key players as offensive backs Tank Younger, Dan Towler and Skeet Quinlan, linebacker Don Paul, defensive end Paul Miller and defensive backs Hall Haynes and Don Burroughs are either sidelined or hampered by in juries. The Colts have been the big surprise of the first quarter of the season. But they lost defen sive stars Dino Marchetti and Joe Campanella and those losses hurt Sunday against the Bears when the Colts suffered eight more injuries while losing their first game. Lost Four Straight The Detroit Lipns, who have lost four straight, owe much of their difficulty to injuries. They'll invade Los Angeles Sun day with quarterback Bobby Layne and guard Jim Martin, their only long-range place-kicker, out of action. San Francisco's Forty-Niners have been hampered by injuries suffered by such key stars as halfback Hugh McElhenny and end Harry Babcock. Philadelphia, one of the highly-touted Eastern Division clubs, has lost three straight. The Eagles won their opener against the New York Giants but lost All-League middle guard Bucko Kilroy for the season in that game. Chicago's Cardinals also have been hard hit by injuries. Their early season losses included veteran back Charlie Trippi and end Max Boydston, the team's No'. 1 draft choice. Fullback Mel Hammack, guard Tony Pasquesi and end Tom Bieneman were hurt at New York last Sunday and probably will miss this week's game against Philadel phia. Few Serious Injuries The Pittsburgh Steelers, tied with the Cleveland Browns for the Eastern Division lead, credit much of their success to few serious injuries. They did lose Pat Brady,. the league's punting champion, for the season. Cleveland also has been lucky in the injury department but lost Tommy James, one of the league's top safety men, last Sunday at Washington. James will miss Sunday's game against the Packers. The Browns (3-1) are seven point favorites and are picked to defeat the Packers (3-1) in a clash of first place clubs at Cleveland. Other selections for Sunday with won-lost records in paren theses: Forty-Niners (2-2) over Bears (1-3) at San Franciscoe Lions (0-4) over Rams (3-1) at Los Angeles; Eagles (1-3) over Cardinals (2-2) at Chicago; Colts (3-1) over Redskins (2-2) at Baltimore; Steelers (3-1) over Giants (1-3) at New York.

Oregon State Corvallis U.R) Oregon State and Washington State renew their old football rivalry here tomorrow with both clubs seek ing ."revenge" before a home coming crowd. ' Oregon State wants to make up for a 34-6 loss suffered last year at Pullman in a game that had been considered even. Wash ington State wants to get even for the 7-0 defeat it suffered here in 1953 when it was heavily favored. Leading the Beaver attack will be tailback Joe Francis who has picked up" 134 yards rushing and 316 yards passing to rank second in total offense in the PCC-with 450 yards. He has Ducks Head For Tucson Eugene (U.R) A 37-man Uni versity of Oregon football squad left here today for Tucson and tomorrow night's battle with the Universary of Arizona, the sixth team in a row to outweigh Coach Len Casanova's Webfoots. The Arizona team, which holds among its victories a 47-14 triumph over Idaho, averages 212 in the line to 199 for Ore gon. The backfields average 180 pounds each. Oregon will face one of the na tion's top backs in Art Luppino, who has been among the rushing leaders for two seasons. - Casanova pronounced the Ducks in top shape after a light workout yesterday.

York U.R) Middle weigh Gil Turner, who would clearly love to get even with former welterweight champion Kid Gavilan, will try to do it by proxy tonight at Madison Square Garden when he fights Isaac Logart, the youngster they are calling "the new Gavilan." Turner, lOth-ranking conten der in the middleweight divi sion, is a 9-5 favorite over Logart in the TV-radio 10-rounder that brings boxing back to the Gar den after a six weeks absence. Turner of Philadelphia was crusing along on a fine, welter weight career back in 1952 when champion Gavilan, the "Cuban Keed," spoiled everything by knocking him out. So far at least, that kayo has prevented Turner from scaling the fistic heights. Logart, 22) hails from Gavi lan's home town of Camaguey, Cuba. Moreover, he's adopted "The Keed's" flashy, flurrying style they are calling "the new Gavilan." Use Tribune Want Ads Shipment Just FOR THE SPECTATOR 6x30.

Last week it was Baylor to hand Washington its first defeat of the season. TJie odds-makers named the Huskies, but we picked the Baylor Bears by sev en. The score: Baylor 13, Wash ington 7. Down through the campaign its been like that: One super special for your Saturday con sideration.

Beavers By 13 Oregon State over Washing ton State: The Beavers were nip ped by College of Pacific, but should do a comeback against the Cougars. By 13. Washington over Stanford: The Huskies have one of the best lines in football and definitely pointing toward that Rose Bowl assignment .This is supposed to be the "down" week for Stan ford. By six. Oregon over Arizona: The Wildcats from the Southwest are about as unpredictable as the weather, but Coach Pappy Wal dorf of Cal says Webfoots have a "real solid" team. We'll see. By 7. San Jose State over college of Pacific: The Spartans go for their fourth victory in a row but run up against their toughest competition of the season in a traditional match.
