TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. October 28, 1955 BLACK TORNADO, GRIZZLIES SCRAP Oil MEDFORD FIELD THIS EVENING A "pretty well pepped up" Ashland high school football ag gregation will trot, out on the Medford stadium turf tonight seeking its first victory over the Black Tornado since 1947. The combat will find Med ford's Tornado, heavily favored, fighting to keep in the run ning for District 6 A-l and Southern Oregon Conference championship stakes and Ash land, an A-2 contestant in pre vious seasons, still seeking its first triumph in Oregon A-l com petition. While Medford and Ashland are busy. Grants Pass and Kla math Falls will have a big dis trict showdown at Grants Pass. First of the week found the Grizzlies working to shake off the bumps and bruises and hu miliation of successive losses to Grants Pass and Crater. Cold wet weather hasn't helped but light, rather0 than heavy, work has helped the Ashlanders re cuperate. Coach Al Simpson said last night, "The boys were pretty well pepped up tonight. I think they'll be all right." Seek Redemption A few words by Speed Pres cott in his "Press Box" column : in the Ashland Daily Tidings could provide the key to Ash land attitude when the Grizzlies appear for the 8 p.m. kick-off. Prescott remarked thsi week: "The last several years, the Griz zlies haven't put up too much opposition, and if the Grizzlies are going to redeem themselves after last week, it will just about have to be this week end or next, when they move over to Klamath ..." The sports scribe and .press man points to the big task fac ing the Ashlanders tonight but he gives the Grizzlies a chance. "As long as the Tornado uses only 11 men at any given momement, and as , long as (Coach Al) Simpson has 11 stout hearted stalwarts to throw into the fray, there remains the pos sibility of almost anything. We'v seen some mighty strange and weird happenings occur ttider the guise of a Medford Ashland football scrap'." Tornado Serious . From the Tornado squad, however, comes the report that the Medfordites ar taking the game seriously despite their favored status0 and thoughts of the fourthcoming Grants Pass battle. "I think they're pretty serious about it," Coach Fred Spiegelberg said this morning. Medford lias had the harder workouts this week. Intensity of the practices should have proved sufficient to keep in mind the business immediately at hand. The Tornado did get one fine break from their routine last night as guests of Bob Corbin, Medford theater manager, at the Craterian theater. Riley Okeh Spiegelberg said today also that Halfback Gary Riley has been declared okeh to play, Riley work, nevertheless, could be limited. He was shaken upN in the Eureka mix. Ashland has its injured too, Backs Gene Parent and Dave Athanas with rib in juries and Lineman Malcolm Magruder with a cut around his eye. But all are expected to see service. . Medford tonight will be out to boost its winning record against Ashland competition. In 56 out ings since 1910, Medford has won 37 and Ashland 16. There have been three ties. The battle could turn into a wide open affair, particularly if the Grizzlies should take to the air from their T formation. When Lance Locke cocks his throwing - arm, Tornado players will have their eyes particularly on Backs Gene Parent and Har ry Johnson. Medford can apply an aerial threat itself but is likely utilize mostly its single wing power and T explosiveness on the ground.
