CIGKT MEDFORD (OKEOOrT)
Black Tornado Anticipates
"Hot" Ashland Crew Friday
Medford high gridders got
thgir final tuning today for a
eeting with one of their oldest
adversaries. And one big ques
tion was on the minds of Black
Tornado? players: 'Will Ashland
blow hot on Friday?
The Tornado takes on the
Grizzlies at the senior high sta
dium here at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
It will be a Southern Oregon
Conference and District 6A-1
engagement with Medford facing
need of an impressive win to
keep itself in the district run
ning. Action this season has seen
the Medford aggregation im
prove with every game. Ashland,
on the other hand has been "hot
and cold." But there was good
reason to think that the Griz
zlies will be "hot" for their bi
ennial trip to Medford. Follow
ing their up and down streak,
they're due. And the word' is out
that thoughts ahead on the Med
ford fracas were to some extent
responsible for Ashland's loss to
Crater last Friday.
Both Win Four I
Both clubs go into battle
with a record of four wins. Med
ford however has a standing of
two ties and only one loss to the
Grizzlies' three setbacks.. Ash
land reached its peak with a vic
tory over Yreka, Calif., two
weeks ago and has wins on rec
ord over Phoenix, Lakeview and
Fortuna, Calif. Losses were to
Roseburg, Grants Pass and
Cater. ,r
i medford counts wins over both
common foes, Roseburg and Cra
ter, anw was at its best in last
week s win over Eureka, Cali
and the previous week's tie with
Klamath Falls. Tornado victims
included Cleveland of Portland,
Miiwaukie was tied and the lone
loss was at the hands of Gresh-
. am, Oregon's No. 2 ranked team.
I Wide open action is antici
pated Friday night with Ashland
reportedly scrapping its double
wing and sticking to the T with
Harry Johnson and Bob Davis
its running threats. Taking a
tip from Medford foes, Ashland
is likely to take to the air much
of the time. Passes have scored
or set up . several - touchdowns
gainst the Tornado this fall.
Lance Locke is the air arm with
Johnson and Gene Parent cap
able receivers.
- Well-Balanced Offense
Medford will send against
the Grizzlies a potent, well-balanced
j and single wing offen
sive. It could me mainly a
ground game with occasional
strikes through the air. The Tor
nado has a number of capable
runners. John Bellack and
Larry Gober have blossomed in
recent scuffles. Mike Hawkins,
Gary Riley,. John Hawley and
Dave Bosworth previously have
spwg their mettle. Dick Mc
Laughlin, Bellack and Riley
supply the passing threat. A
charging line has become more
effective as the season prog
ressed. The Tornado sloshed through
rain on Tuesday but had better
weather last night. Rain and cold
at Ashland has held drills pretty
much to wind sprints and signal
drill. Coach Al Simpson, with
the weather as it is, has sort of
rested his club this week. Med
ford started defensive work on
Tuesday and had dummy scrim
mage. Just about everybody
scrimmaged yesterday with the
group divided into about four
equal teams.
Riley Goes Easy v.
Riley, shaken up in the Eu
reka mix, has been held out ox
contact. Tackle Mel Morgan is
still out of action with a broken
hand. Ashland has a reportedly
bruised and battered club with
Dave Athanss and Parent nurs
ing sore ribs. Malcolm Magruder
has stitches around an eye.
Medford's possible starters on
offense are Dick Copple and
Mike Stearns, ends; Neil Plum-
ley and Al Boardman, tackles;
Jack Gregory and Monte Hoist
guards: Gary Shaffer, center;
McLaughlin, quarter; Bellack,
left half; Hawkins, right half,
and Gober or Bosworth, full
back. On defense, Maury Butts,
end; Larry Cranston, tackle;
Bob Apple, guard, and Eldon
Francis, safety, may nave siari
ins assignments.
For Ashland those starting
mav be Parent and Roy Gray,
ends; Alan Dunn and Don Gil

Washington Favored
Over Oregon Staters
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco vU.R) Just
case you've been wondering and
haven't kept track of how this
department has been going in
the selection derby this year "on
games involving Pacific Coast
Conference football teams, let's
take a look at the record:
In strictly conference tilts,
we've named the winner 10
times, had three losses and .two
ties in the 15 games played.
In games involving PCC
teams against outside opposition,
we've named the victor 16 times
against five losses. That's a .765
percentage in a topsy-turvy sea
son that has come up with the
PCC having its best balance
from- top to bottom in history.
Last week failed to come up
with a "goodie" upset predic
tion for the first time this sea
son. So, looking to the future:
Southern California over Min
nesota: The Gophers nearly up
set Michigan, the No. 1 team, last
week, but they may have a hard
time coming back for the Tro
jans. The PCC entry to make it
five out of seven over the Big
Ten for this year By 13.
UCLA over California: The
Bruins will use the Bears for
cannon fodder again as' Coach
Pappy Waldorf's team goes down
to defeat for the fifth time in
seven outings this season. By 30.
Washington over Oregon State:
John Arnett
Has 1-Point
Scoring Lead
New York (U.R) The run
ning battle between boutnern
California's Jon Arnett and
Texas Christian's Jimmy Swink
for the major, college football
scoring leadership finds the ver
satile Arnett ahead today by just
one point.
Arnett, who pounded across
the goal line three times for
touchdowns on Saturday against
California, now boasts a total
of 11 touchdowns and 10 extra
points for a total of 76 points. '
Swink, who tallied only one
touchdown . against Miami, has
12 touchdowns, one more than
Arnett, but has booted only three
extra points for a total of 75
points in weekly figures issued
today by the JN(JAA.
These two free-wheeling back-
field stars have been scrapping
for the scoring lead, ever since
the season started. Arnett led
the first week; Swink tied him
the second week. Then Swink
went ahead by 18 points. Two
weeks ago Arnett cut Jimmy's
lead to 11 points. ''
Top Punt-Runner
Arnett also ranks as the na
tion's top punt return man,, hav
ing hauled 12 boots back for a
grand total of 232 yards. That
gives him a husky lead over
Mike Sommer of George Wash
ington .at 186 yards on nine re
turns and Dewey Tompkins of
College of Pacific at 183 yards
on 11 returns.
- Arnett is an all-around threat,
but if you're looking for foot
ban specialists, how about Joe
Walton of Pittsburgh. He spe
cializes in catching touchdown
passes.
Hank Burnine of Missouri is
the all-around leader in pass
catching. Although the Tigers
hrve lost all six games, Burnine
has gathered in 24 passes to tie
for the national lead in that de
partment and gained 333 yards
on them. Bill Barnes of Wake
Forest also has caught 24 passes,
but has gained only 235 yards.
James Heads Interceptions
Dick James of Oregon and
Dick Hohl of Holy Cross are tied
for the greatest number of pass
interceptions, five. James has
returned a total of 68 yards
against only 16 for Hohl.
White Sox Talk
With Athletics
Chicago . (U.R) Vice-President
Chuck Comiskey of the Chi
cago White Sox is wasting little
time in taking over where i his
old general manager, Frank Lane
left off. r
Comiskey and Manager Marty
Marion are now dickering with
the Kansas City Athletics for a
pitcher and an infielder, a few
hours after Comiskey sent Chico
Carrasquel and Jim Busby to
Cleveland for Larry Doby.
Comiskey said, "We've made
them a couple of propositions
and they're takmg some time to
think about them."
Thursday, October 27. 195S
The Husky and the Oregon State
defenses clash in a battle of low
scores. Two touchdowns should
win it and we'll take Washing
ton by six points.
Oregon Choice
Stanford over San Jose State:
Now that the "invincible" myth
of the Spartans '"has .been
cracked by College of Pacific,
you have to string along with the
Indians in this neighborhood
rivalry. Stanford beat CP 33-14;
COP beat San Jose State, 14-7.
That makes Stanford 26 points
better, doesn't it? We'll pick the
Indians by half that amount.
Oregon over Idaho: The Web
foots appear to be improving
weekly. You could figure this
one out to bring the Vandals
home the winner. Idaho lost to
Washington, 7-14, and Washing
ton beat Oregon, 19-7. That
should make the Vandals a five
point favorite. We'll take the
Webfoots by 20.
College of Pacific, over Wash
ington State: Coach Al Kircher
is having troubles and the
benching of his veterans doesn't
appear to be the solution to the
problem for the battle with the
Bengals. By 14.
Utah State over Fresno State:
The Aggies from the mountain
country do not have a power
house, but they play in a slight
ly tougher league than do the
Bulldogs. So the Fresno club
may lose its first game of the
season. By six.

Reasons Differ
Why Michigan,
OSU Sit on Top
Chicago (U.R) -- Michigan
and Ohio State are at the top of
the Big Ten standings for two
completely different reasons,
conference statistics revealed to
day. . The undefeated -' Wolverines
rank first in defense, but eighth
on offense. .
Defending champion Ohio
State is second on offense, but
10th m defense.
Michigan's defense has been
"air-tight" against passes, having
allowed opponents to complete
35.7 per cent of their throws for
an average gain of only 34 yards
a game. Opponents have averag
ed only 3.21 yards per play on
the ground against Bernie Oost
erbaan's eleven. .
Michigan State ranked second
on defense, allowing the opposi
tion a low of 118 yards per game
on the ground. Purdue has giv
en opponents the fewest yards
per rushing attempt, 2.4.
Running Game
The Buckeyes' offense has
been built almost entirely on
their running game, averaging
327.5 yards a game on the
ground. If Ohio continues at its
present pace, it will surpass the
conference record set by Michi
gan of 320 yards per game in
1943.
Coach Woody Hayes' Buck
eyes have thrown only 6.5 pass
es per game for an average of
only 24.5 yards.

look today, despite the fact that
his University of Idaho Vandals
have had two weeks to prepare

Credit for
Upsets Goes
To Defense
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press Sports Writer
Jack LaVelle, one of the na
tional football league's veteran
scouts, credits strongerdefenses
with' the shower of upsets that
have marked the first 30 games
in the professional circuit this
year.
"The thing that has impressed
me most is the improvement in
defensive play this season," La
Velle said as he prepared to
brief the. New York Giants for
their Sunday game against ' the"
Washington Redskins.
All the teams have discov
ered that you can't get any place
by trading touchdowns with the
other fellow," LaVelle said.
"You .can't win in this league
without a good defense."
Strong defensive play by the
Chicago Cardinals, Pittsburgh
Steelers and Los Angeles Rams
has helped produce an interest
ing season in which the odds
makers' point spreads have held
up only six times in 30 games.
Biggest Improvement Offensive
The Cardinals, who finished
last in the Eastern division last
year, have made the biggest im
provement defensively.
Under Ray Richards, -- their
new head coach, the Cardinals
have permitted only 75 points
in their first five games 98 less
than the 173 they gave up in
their first five in 1954. They al
ready have won. two games, as
many as they won all last sea
son. v
The Detroit Lions, 1954 West
ern division champions, lost
their first five games this sea
son. It's one of the biggest skids
ever suffered by an NFL title
holder and one of the main
causes has been the collapse of
a defensive unit that hammered
the Cleveland Browns into sub
missipn until the 1954 championship-game.
The Lions have giv
en up 116 points this season
more than any other team in
the league.
After the first five weeks of
play, half of the 12 teams had
scored more than 130 points.
Each team now has played five
games this season but only
Cleveland (141) has scored more
than 120.
The defending champion
Browns, who always have de
pended strongly on their defen
sive platoon, also have allowed
the few points, 71.
Pass a Moral Victory
"It was a moral victory when
Eddie Lebaron and Ralph Gug
lielmi got a pass away against
the Browns' defensive platoon,"
LaVelle said after watching
Cleveland -beat Washington. -
So Sunday's game at Chicago
between the Cardinals (2-2-1)
and the Browns (4-1) will in
volve defensive platoons that
have proved hardest to score
against so far this season. The
Browns are picked to win.
This week's other selections
with records in parentheses:
Saturday night: Colts (3-2)
over Packers (3-2) at Baltimore.
Sunday: Bears (2-3) over Rams
(4-1) Los Angeles; Eagles (1-3-1)
over Steelers (4-1) at Philadel
phia; Lions (0-5) over Forty-Nin
ers (2-3) at San Francisco; Giants
(1-4) over Redskins (3.-2) at New
York,
Oregon Hunters
Forest Conscious
Salem (U.R) State Forester
Dwight Phipps said today Ore
gon's deer hunters this year were
probably the most forest-conscious
group in the state's his
tory. -
He said there were only nine
hunter-caused fires during the
season and that none were ser
ious. Most of these were in east
ern Oregon. "
In 1954, there were 27 hunter
caused fires on the opening day
alone.

It will be the last game of reg
ular play for both schools and
more than likely the concluder
for the season.
Coach Stan Smith ' reported
that Gale Friend, regular quar
terback, probably will be miss
ing because of an elbow injury.
Norm Hooper, an ailing regular
tackle, is back with the squad,
however. Doug Chambers may
fill Friend's shoes.
At Central Point, where the
Comets are prepping for the
scrap, Coach Leonard Warren
has reported a tackle problem.
Dick Davis turned his ankle last
week and Bill Morse suffered a
severe ankle sprain last Monday
during Crater's 51 to 0 junior
varsity win over Ashland. Neil
Green is no longer with the
team.
Mason At Tackle
That leaves Dave Parker as
the only top tackle. Warren said
that to fill the gap Bob Mason
has been shifted from the back
field into the line for offensive
duties. Center Nathan Douthit
probably will be tackle on de
fense with Mason going to line
backer where he is a veteran.
Crater will have all of its nine
seniors in the starting crew.
They are John Shama and Gor
don Tidwell, end; Mason, tackle;
Don Chitwood and Harold Lef
ler, guard; Douthit center, and
Harsh and Duane Goyettej backs.
Parker, tackle, and Don Goyette,
back, are juniors scheduled to
open.
The Eagle starters may be Ron
Nelsen and Gary Kaiser, ends;
Hooper and Dick Wallace,
tackles; Dean Tibbetts and Jim
Bunker, guards; Larry Doden
