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,

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

Gober have all flashed ball pack

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

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

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.

New. 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."

San Francisco U.R) Like
any good department store, this
corner is offering one sure-shot
upset per week in the collegi
ate gridiron world.
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. Remember, we also
had such humdingers as Stan
ford over Ohio State by six and
Chico State over San Francisco
State in by-gone weeks.
So what's cookin' for this
week-end? Take a look:
Southern California over Cal
ifornia: This may be the biggest
slaughter of Bear meat in his
tory. The Trojans have their best
team in 15 years and Califor
nia its worst in nine. By 35.
UCLA over Iowa: The Bruins
should win from here to there.
And you can bet your bottom
dollar that Coach Red Sanders
of UCLA won't be putting in his
second string after getting a 21
point lead, as he did "against
Stanford last week. By 13.
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. Some believe
San Jose has the best team in
the West. By one.
Also: Humboldt State over
San Francisco State, Chico State
over Lewis & Clark, Cal Aggies
ovpr Nevada. Whittier over
Pepperdine, Santa Barbara over
Sacramento State, Cal Poly over
McMurray, Idaho - State over
College of Idaho, Whitworth
over British Columbia and Idaho
over open date.
