Stage for this mammoth titu lar Dauie, tne "Dig game so far this year on Medford stad ium grass, was virtually set last Friday evening. The potent Tor nado caught the outmanned, out- spirited Ashland high Grizzlies in its windy swath 40 to 7 on the local field. The Cavemen, al though outgained, outscore boarded the Klamath Falls Pel icans 33 to 25. i There were no doubts about Medford's convincing verdict but the cloud of a Klamath pro test still hung today over Pel and Grants Pass skirmish. Pelican basis of a dispute hinged on a re versal of a referee's decision on a fourth down, fourth quarter 1 pass interception. Klamathite's maintain they had a touchdown on the play. Win or Els Saturday indications were that the matter will go before the board of control on Mon day. There was speculation as to whether the win can be taken from the.Cavemen but unofficial reports were that Klamath is considered to have good grounds' ior protest. Meanwhile, the Black Tor nado took this attitude: "Let 'em squabble it out and we'll settle it next Friday." And one thing was cerufin It's win or else Pelicans Protest Game; GP Outscores Pels, 33-25. - Grants Pass The Grants Pass high Cavemen, equal to the oc casion when the chips were down in a crucial District 6 A-l scramble, outscored Klamath Falls 33 to 25 here Friday night in an offensive thriller. But a Klamath Falls' protest till left uncertain- yesterday whether the Cavemen had strengthened their lead in the Southern Oregon Conference. 1 'Klamath's challenge came in the fourth quarter after the score had reached its 33 to 25 standing. Four minutes remain . ed to play. On fourth down with the ball on the Grants Pass six-yard line Pelican Jerry Burke jump passed. The ball deflected off End Earl Tichenor and was intercepted by GP's Roger Taylor in the end zone. . Taylor was tackled and fum bled. Donn Taucher of the Pels finally fell on the ball behind the goal line. One officials sig nalled a touchdown. But the decision was then reversed and ruled a touchback. - That meant no score as allowed. Up To OSAA KF Coach John McGinnis then announced his protest. Ruling reportedly is being sought from tne Oregon School Activities as sociation. McGinnis claimed that, if the ruling is against Grants Pass, the game will have to be replayed. The game's officials said, however, that replay or ether action is up to the OSAA's decision. All of the officials were from Eugene. They were Ed Wellnitz, referee; Pete Taylor, umpire; Wendy Kaufman, field judge, o acd Lyle Small, head linesman. In the stirring game Grants Pass took the lead on the open ing kick-off and held it all the way although the Pelicans twice closed the gap to one point, 20 to 19 and 26 to 25. Gary Her mann ran the kick-off back 80 yards for a touchdown and Allan "Chuck" COX Salesman Home Phone 2-8420 C ' for the Black Thornado for suc cessful defense of its Southern Oregon conference and district crowns. Should nothing come of the Klamath beef, a tie with Medford would serve to cinch the toga for the Cavemen. Ashland couldn't match the power house, depth and fight of the Tornado last Friday. Offense Purrs Medford superiority over the outclassed Grizzlies was appar ent almost from the start and it quickly became a question of not of who would come out on top but of how much the Tor nado margin would be. It didn't matter whether Medford used T plays or relied on its single wing1. Both offenses purred along. The Tornado touchdowned the first four times it had opportun ities, getting three scores on drives and one on an intercept ed pass in the first half. Drives, the final one by an almost com pletely reserve aggregation, pro duced second half touchdowns. And Ashland finally crossed the goal with three minutes left in the game, pushing back a re serve Tornado eleven as 51 Med- fordites got into the combat. The onesided contest enabled Torna do reserves to filter in 3nd out of the line-up throughout the night and pick up valuable ex perience. . Bellack Spins 37 Intermission scores were 13 to 0, 26to 0 and 33 to 0. Halfback John Bellack swung and spun 37 yards for the opening touch down. Halfback Mike Hawkins cracked four yards for the sec and and Fullback Larry Gober bulled 11 'yards for the third and ran back a pass intercep tion 53 yards for the fourth. Halfback Gary Riley scooted 14 yards for a third quarter TD and Gober passed to Halfback Mike Russell for a goal in the fourth. Bob Davis went the final three yards of the Ashland TD score. The Tornado . rumbled 67 yards in six plays for its initial score. For the final 37 Bellack got a nice hole on the right side of the line, hooked to the right to evade tacklers, broke into the Drews converted: He tallied again in the first quarter from three yards out to end a 46 yard drive for a 13 to 0 bulge. Leeling Scores Dave Leeling capped a 54 yard drive with a yard run to tally for Klamath on the first play of the second quarter. Grants Pass responded with a 55-yard punch to score again with Mike Rose going the con cluding two and Drews adding the extra for a 20 to 6 margin with 54 seconds left in the half. With 40 seconds left after the kick-off Klamath's Burke- con nected on a long pass to Butch Kimpton for 73 yards and a 20 to 12 standing. On the next kick-off Larry Heaton recovered bis own onside boot and Klam ath almost scored again on a long pass. . The margain was narrowed when KF went 71 yards after the second half kick-off. Kimp ton swept the last 32 yards to the end zone and McGill went over for the extra. That gave tht 20 to 19 count. TD's Exchanged Then Drews went the last half yard for GP on a 64-yard surge but he missed the extra for 26 to 19. Klamath Falls came back 63 yards with Burke going two for a touchdown and McGill was stopped ; in the bonus trp. It was 26 to 25. Grants Pass started for its last TD in the third quarter. The Ccvemen went 49 yards in six plays with Dave Flipse cross ing on the second play of the fourth period. Drews' extra point kick was good. f Official statistics, including scrimmage yards, punt returns, kick-off runbacks and pass inter ception runs grossed Grants Pass 737 and Klamath 728. The Cave men netted 706 and Klamath 655. Unofficial net from scrim mage alone showed the Pels with 443 and GP with 263. Klam ath got 163 from passes. 0h- h -h .... Those '56 Oldsmobiles!

He spun along the side stripe, shook off two tacklers, and was helped by a good block on about the 15-yard line. End Dick Copple kicked the extra point. It took 12 plays to go 64 yards for the second score. Big gest gains before Hawkins went the last four were eight and nine yard cracks. Copple's kick was wide. Francis Snags Pass Safety Eldon Francis inter cepted a pass to start a 54 yard campaign for the third TD. Full back Dave Bosworth reeled off 11 yards and a pass, Bellack to Quarterback Dick McLaughlin, got 13 as the Tornado worked to the Ashland 11 for .Gober's scoring crash. Copple's kick was good this time. With about four mintes left in the first half Gober snared a pass from Ashland's Harry Johnson on the Medford 47. He rambled the distance to the Ash land goal unmolested., Copple's kick was partially blocked. .Riley gathered in an Ashland punt early in the third quarter and with some good blocking ran 60 yards to the end zone. But Medford was called for both roughing the passer and for clip ping. Ashland got the benefit of 15-yard step-off against the Tor nado and a first down. Funston Nabs Ball Nevertheless, the Tornado scored the next time it got hold of the pigskin. Nine plays took the Medfordites 53 yards and Riley went the last 14 on a fake reverse. Copple's kick was good. Medford crossed the goal on its next chance, too. Guard Jim Funston recovered an Ash land muff and Medford got the ball on the Grizzly 49. Four plays later got the ball to the 25. Gober then spun within 10 yards of the final stripe but hold ing was called on Medford on the 19 and set the home club back to the 34. That set up the situation for the Gober to- Rus sell pass play. Copple again came through with the extra. Ashland went 66 yards for its touchdown, needing 11 plays, af ter Al South recovered a fumble. A pass got 21 yards and a run by Johnson 12. A Medford off side gave the Grizzlies five yards and a first down. The ex tra point was kicked by John son. ' Little Threat Except for the one touchdown march in the closing portion, Ashland presented little threat. Deepest the Grizzlies penerated otherwise against tough and rug ged Medford defense was to the Tornaflo 47. They got to the Medford 49 once and to the mid field stripe on two occasions.' Eight yards was the top effort for the Grizzlies on any one first half ground play. They went that far oh three different tries and gained 10 yards twice through the air. Johnson shook loose for runs of 13 and 12 yards and two of eight in the second half. Medford Halfback John Haw ley was shaken up and Ashland Half and End Gene Parent re portedly suffered a knee dislo cation in the hassle. Center. Phil Sword of Ashland was cut above the ear. Riley, who suffered a concus sion in the Eureka fray, wore a newly purchased Notre Dame style leather helmet which pro vided added padding for ' his head. Utah State Defeats Fresno State 39-14 Logan, Utah (U.R) A spec tacular individual performance by Halfback Jack Hill carried the Utah State Aggies to their first intersectional , win in three tries Saturday a 39-14 victory over previously unbeaten Fresno State. Hill scored four touchdowns, passed for a fifth and kicked one extra point in leading the farm ers to victory before 4,000 fans at Dick Romney stadium. The contest, the last Aggie home game of the season, was played in 40 degree weather. - . . GOBER SCORES FOR MEDFORD This apparent toe hold by an unidentified Ashlander was of no avail as Fullback Larry Gober slammed over for Medford high's third touchdoown Friday night in its 40 to 7 Southern Oregon Conference victory over the Grizzlies. Gober's team mates shown here on the scoring play are Tackle Neil Plumley (with the 7 of his No. 72" showing) and Quarterback Dick McLaughlin. Ashland's 84 is center Phil Sword. The play was in the second quarter. (Landis-Shangle studio) Shanley Scores Twice As Webfoots Beat Idaho, 25-0 Eugene, Ore. U.R) Soph omore Jim Shanley scored two touchdowns to pace Oregon to a 25-0 Pacific Coast conference victory over a scrappy Idaho team Saturday. It was Oregon's third straight victory and the Webfoots fourth of the season. ' Idaho battled gamely through out the first three quarters and lost a chance to lead early in the game when a fumble by Bob Gary in the end zone was gob bled up by Webfoot Dick James to end the threat. 80-Yard March Oregon came back with an 80-yard march which featured excellent running by Dick James and Jack. Morris. James, the ace Webfoot back, skipped the last five yards unmolested after some fine faking by Quarterback Tom Crabtree which completely fooled the Vandals. The Vandals moved to the Oregon 16 in the second period, but the tight Oregon pass de fense, again led by James, the nation's leading pass interceptor, stopped the drive.
