Medford's thundering Black
Tornado and Grants Pass's be
hemoth Cavemen come to grips
on the senior high school stad
ium turf here next Friday night
($nd the district mantle and
state prep play-off hopes of
gfooth contingents could be rid
inf with each and every snap
of the ball.
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

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.

open and headed for the side
line. 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.
Oregon got going in the third
