It wasn't a district fracas,
There were no conference laurels
at stake. But there was satis
faction aplenty in retrospect as
the Medford high football Black
Tornado looked back today on
Its 2 to 14 Friday victory over
the potent Eureka, Calif., Log-
ger' Q
For the Tornado had ended a
three-year drouth in contention
its . traditional California
opponent and had turned back a
team recognized as the best in
recent years in the Humbolt bay
city. . Medford's first decision
since 1951 over the Eureka
eleven broke at 16 straight a
Logger winning streak begun in
1953. The Loggers came to Med
ford after five impressive wins
over California foes this year.
Medford record against the
north Cal Coasf powerhouse now
stands at 18 victories, six set
backs and one tie.
First TD Decider
A Tornado touchdown drive
off the opening kick-off was the
deciding factor in the "hang on
to your seats" skirmish at the
local stadium. The home club
outcharged and outplayed the
Loggers with a sometimes grind
ing, sometimes explosive ground
attack in the over all picture.
But Eureka was a never-say-die
bunch and a constant threat all
the way. Ttie Loggers matched
Medford touchdown for touch
down in the final quarter and
were still striving at the finish.
A touchdown pass, Quarter
back Dick McLaughlin to Half
back Gary Riley, capped the
Tornado's opening 62-yard drive.
After End Dick Copple's kicked
conversion the score stayed 7 to
0 , until Fullback Larry Gober
punched over for a 13 to 0 lead
in the closing stanza.
Eureka responded with the
help of a fumble recovery and
pass interference penalty. Half
back Wade Hammond smashed
over the goal and Fullback Errol
Scott added the extra for a 13
to 7 score. Four scrimmage plays
later Medford had its third TD
in a 40-yard gallop by Halfback
John Bellack. Copple booted
the bonus for a 20 to 7 score.
Take to Air
The Californian's took to the
air in the final moments. Three
out of six aerial heaves connect
ed, one for 23 yards and a score
with eight seconds left on the
clock. The toss was Quarterback
Richie Mayo to huge End Jerry
Winters and again Scott booted
over the point.
With the Medford offensive
line playing solid and booming
ball from end to end and with
hard-running backs Mike Hawk
ins, Bellack and Gober reeling
off good gains, the Tornado
rolled up 280 yards net to Eu
reka's 148. Aod tough, rocking
defense yielded few long gains
to the Loggers.
Mayo and Scott were the of
fensive guns for the Cal eleven.
Scott, a 195-pounder, caught
Medford off - balance several
times with crossbucks to the left.
But tSe passing of Mayo provid
ed the greatest potential scoring
danger. He tossed the ball 23
times. Medford's defense was
equal to the task most of the
time but Mayo recorded seven
completions for 83 yards.
Eureka Livens
The visitors didn't really catch
fire until -the second quarter
when they generated a drive
from the ir own nine-yard line
to the Tornado six. Eureka con
trolled the ball and had Medford
on the defensive quite a bit of
the second half, driving once to
the Tornado 22 and once reach
ing the 17. However, Medford,
gaining ground in larger chunks,
stia maintained the edge in yard
age. e
Two lost fumbles and one of
two pass interceptions spoiled
Tornado chances for a perhaps
more decisive win.
Ganging tactics by the Tor
nado stopped Eureka ball car
riers time again with Tackle
Neil Plumley, Guards Bob Apple
and Monte Hoist, Linebackers
Jack Gregory and McLaughlin
and Backs Riley and Hawley in
on a big share of the tackles.
12 Plays Needed
Medford surged down the
field from its own 38-yard line
in 12 plays for its first touch
down. The ball squirted from
Riley's grasp after he reached
into the end zone but Copple and
Hoist pounced on the pigskin to
prevent any doubts of a TD.
Copple's first conversion try
from placement was blocked but
Eureka was offside. The flaVik-
man made good on the second
chance and Medford was on top
7 to 0.
That ended all successful goal-
ward drives until Medford began
rolling late in the third quarter.
Medford got to the Eureka 25
in the second stanza but an off
side penalty and pass intercep
mail tribune
tion stemmed the drive. The
Loggers then launched a big
threat, grinding out the yards on
the ground until the Tornado ap
plied the stopper on the home
club's 26.
Eureka sallied to the Medford
22 after the midway kick off
and Medford held on downs. The
Tornado fought back to Logger
35 with one 28 -yard run by
Hawkins. There Spenser Van
Dusen scooped up a Medford
muff and got to the Tornado 40
before being halted by Riley and
Hoist. The Loggers got to the
17 where two passes failed to
connect. Linebacker Gregory
and Backs Hawley and Francis
combined to prevent a comple
tion in the end zone.
Daring Gamble
Then the push to Medford's
second TD began. It took 10
plays io go the 83 yards. The
touchdown might not have been
but for a daring gamble that
paid off. Three plays had got
the Tornado only to the 26 with
one yard to go for a first down.
Fullback Gober came in to punt
but he didn't drop back. He was
called on to run instead and
boomed with the ball and the
Tornado had a first down with
yards to spare on the 30.
Hawkins broke loose on a
double reverse as the fourth
period opened and skirted left
end 40 yards to the Eureka 30.
Two plays later on a similar try
Mike got to the 15. Gober
smashed the middle' to the three
and then banged through the
center for the TD.
Copple had three tries at the
extra point. His first was wide
but Eureka was offside. The
next was good but both clubs
jumped the gun. End Jerry Win
ters blocked the third attempt
but Medford still had a 13 to
0 advantage.
A fumble recovery on the Med
ford 37 and a pass interference
infraction on the Tornado, which
put the ball on the 17, helped
Eureka in getting its first score.

20-7 Victor
Over KF Club
McLoughlin junior high ninth
grade gridders capitalized on
two pass interceptions and a
kick-off runback here Saturday
afternoon to drub Klamath Falls
20 to 7.
The Medford club had a 6
to 0 advantage at the half and
the rest of the scoring was in
the third quarter. Gerry Lyons
was the ball toter on all of the
Bulldog touchdowns.
Lyons intercepted a pass and
ran 30 yards to the goal in the
first period. He got some fine
blocking on the second half
kick-off and ran it black 70
yards for a TD. Bill Wallace set
up the third Mac touchdown, in
tercepting a pass and running
30 yards to the Pelican five. Ly
ons ran it from there. Mike Mur
ray kicked the conversion after
both third quarter scores.
Klamath Goes 80
Klamath retaliated with an
80-yard return for a TD on the
Bulldog kick-off. The extra
point, was kicked.
First downs favored the Mc
Loughlin team 13 to five while
the net yardage was in the Med
ford team's favor 237 to 81.
The Bulldogs played a partic
ularly fired up game in the
second half. Coaches Mel Bol-
denow and Bill Shepherd re
ported that the locals turned in
a defensively good job and that
the offense went good at times,
The Pelicans were set back for
minus yardage in the fourth
quarter.

Bellack Goes 40
Francis's 30-yard kick-off run
back to the Medford 42 opened
a drive which earned the Tor
nado its third touchdown in short
order. A seven-yard thrust by
Fullback Dave Bosworth, a six
yard gain by Bellack and a five
yards smash by Gober carried
the Medfordites to the Logger
40.
Bellack spurted over right
tackle, cutback nicely to his left
and ran the distance to the goal.
This time Copple had only one
conversion try and made good
for the 20 to 7 spread.
The Loggers took over on their
40 after the kick-off and one
play lost to the 32. A pass went
incomplete but Scott broke free
for his longest run of the night,
23 yards to the Medford 45. A
throw failed but another from
Mayo to Scott connected for 20
yards to the 25. Mayo passed to
Halfback Fred Whitmire for two
yards. A heave to Winters was
unsuccessful but Mayo threw
again to Winters who caught the
ball in the end zone.
His runs of 18, 28, 50 and 15
yards and a number of shorter
gains made Hawkins Medford's
leading ball carrier of the night.

Fumbles Into
Corvallis, Ore U.R) Ore
gon State converted two Wash
ington State fumbles into first
half touchdowns to defeat the
Cougars, 14-6, at Parker field
Saturday in a Pacific Coast con
ference football game.
It was Oregon State s home
coming and 17,000 fans watched
the tight battle under warm,
sunny skies.
Washington State found the
spark after the intermission and
drove to a third quarter touch
down. The Cougars threatened
three other times but were held
each time, once on the two-yard
line.
Runs Nullified
Oregon State's Joe Francis
supplied the spectators with the
game's biggest thrill when he
scampered 80 yards from the
Oregon State five in the second
period. His spectacular run went
for nothing, however, as the ball
was called back by an inter
ference penalty against the
Beavers.
The Cougars also had a thrill
ing play nullified by a penalty.
It was a 60-yard pass from quar
terback Bob Iverson to end Pete
Toomey which was called back
by an unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty.
Fumbles proved Washington
State's undoing. The first mis-
cue came in the first quarter
shortly after the game opened.
Fullback Bill Kramer bobbled
the ball on the Cougar 25 and
Oregon State guard Bob Riggert
recovered. Francis smashed over
from the one-yard line. Ted
Searle added the extra point.
Second Fumble
Another fumble by Kramer set
up Oregon State's second touch
down. This one came later in
the first quarter at midfield
