Friday and hung on to better a
behemoth Cavemen aggregation
14 to 7. It was the same score
by which Medford beat Grants
Pass last year.
Meanwhile, Marshfield, unde
cf eated and rated No. 1 in Oregon,
breezed to a 32 to 0 decision over
North Bend to claim, also un
challenged, the District 5 dia
dem. While the two titles were be

Riley Runs 82 Yards
A sensational 82-yard run by
Halfback Gary Riley scored the
0S first Medford touchdown and a
6-yard romp by Fullback Larry
Gober set up the other as the
Tornado outyardaged the Cave
men with bursting offense and
tougher ground defense during
the night. Riley scampered away
to the goal on Medford's first of
fensive play of the game and
Gober blasted loose the second
time Medford got ' hold of the
ball. He got to the 24-yard line
and seven plays later sailed his
200 pounds over the huge Grants
Pass line and into the end zone,
e End Dick Coppel kicked both
conversions.
The Cavemen got their score
on a 76-yard push and final push
by Halfback Dave Flipse in the
closing portion of the final quar
ter. Fullback Allan Drews also
booted the bonus. Sixty-two sec-
onds were left to play after the
touchdown and the Tornado
hung to the ball for dear life
after receiving the ensuing kick-
off. For even a tie could have
given Grants Pass the cham
pionship. Gary Intercepts
Riley on a sparking pass in-
for pass interference and un
sportsmanlike conduct nullified
a touchdown and cost 30 yards.
Medford marches were
squelched on the GP 20 and 12
yard 'lines and the Tornado had
to crunch a Caveman drive that
got down to its five-yard stripe.
The Caveman threat was al
ways there through the night
and the Tornado bulge was
never safe until the closing sec
onds of the fray. Even then
Grants Pass stalled for time in
hopes of a final chance.
Unofficial net yardage from
scrimmage showed Medord with
322 to Grants Pass's 191. A vic
ious tackling crew, the Tornado
yielded little on the ground to
the Cavemen until the final
quarter. The Medfordites put the
kibosh on the Cavemen s
vaunted end sweeps. They gave
way on bucks through the mid
dle and on passes. But the Tor
nado line did more than hold
its own against the heftier Grants
Pass wall.
Best scrimmage ground gains
for Grants Pass were 12, 12, 11
and nine yards by speedsters
Gary Hermann, Dave Flipse,
Chuck Nevi and Drews but they
did not compare to the 82 and 20
yard romps of Riley, the 62-yard
runby Gober or the 20-yard
crash by JVicJLaugmin,
Great Work
In the line the Tornado got
terrific defensive work from
Tackle Neil Plumley, Guard
Monte Hoist and Ends Maury
Butts and Mike Stearns. Mc
Laughlin mixed fine signal call
ing with great linebacking work
and in the backfield Halfbacks
Mike Hawkins and Riley put
most stoppers on the Cavemen.
The two long runs by Riley
and Gober were the thrillers of
the night. End Jerry Gatlin- and
Plumley applied the blocks that
sprang Riley through the line
from the Medford 18. The half
back angled almost immediately
to the sideline then put on a
burst of speed and ran for all
he was worth down the west side
of the field. GP's Hermann
caught up with him, but too
late, at the goal line.
Gober, turned breakaway run
ner, was busted through by
Hoist and Tackle Al Boardman.
He ran straight down the middle
from the Medford 14 to the
Grants Pass 24 before Nevi
grabbed his jersey by the back
of the neck and dragged him
down. From that point Riley
gained a yard, Gober five and
four, Riley 10, Halfback Dave
Bosworth one and Riley two
more before Gober leaped over
the goal.
Pass Gaines 27
The Tornado drive to the GP
20 came the third time Medford
took possession of the ball.
Seven plays ate up the distance
from the Medford 31. On a pass,
McLoughlin to Copple, got 27
yards. Medford lost the ball
when it was knocked from
Riley's hand as he was trying to
pass at the start of the second
panel. Back Stan Lewman re
covered on the 23.
GP went from there to the
Tornado five in nine plays with
a pass, Nevi to End Larry Mc-
Farland, getting the last 31
yards to the five. There Plumley
and Mike Stearns were in on the
stopper, causing Hermann to
fumble. Tackle Larry Cranston
recovered for Medford.
Medford worked from its 41
to the GP 12 in the third canto.
On fourth down Copple, back
in the field goal kicking forma
tion, passed to Riley but the toss
was incomplete. The double pen

Grants Pass get out of this bad
hole.
An offside against Medford
and two line plays brought
Grants Pass out to the 22 for a
first down. Two successive loss
es, in which tackling by Butts,
Stearns and Bosworth figured
had the Caveman back on their
15. Then Nevi threw the pass
which Riley picked off and ran
back. At that point the double
infraction ruled out the inter
ception and gave GP the ball
on its 45.
Grants Pass Goes
A couple of five yard penalties
helped halt GP ambitions to go
all the way. But after an ex
change of downs the Cavemen
got the ball on their 24. This
time their scoring bid succeeded.
Grants Pass got first downs on
five out of six successive plays.
Gains of 18 and 15 yards on
passes, Nevi to nermann, were
the biggest of the surge. With
first down and five to go on the
six yard line. Drews got to the
three and Nevi sneaked two
more yards. Flipse then went
over left guard for the TD.
Lewman kicked off on side to
Medford but Plumley fell on the
ball on the Medford 48. Offside
put the Tornado the 43 and Med
ford ran the clock out on three
snaps to McLaughlin. Grants
Pass, desperate for possession of
the ball, called time out three
times on the final series of
downs.
Saturday indication was that
the Tornado came through the
Friday ruckus without injuries.
Barring ailments that could crop
up during the week, Medford
should be in top physical shape
to face the Pirates at Coos Bay.
Met Last Year
The Tornado and Marshfield
were state quarter-final foes last
season. Marshfield won 19 to
6 and had also a 28 to 6 win
over Medford two weeks before
the playoff fracas.
Coach Fred Spiegelberg had
high praise for his Medford
team Saturday. "I'm amazed at
the way those kids keep rolling,"
he declared. He commented es
pecially on the fine defensive
play and the hard tackling.
Victory over Grants Pass
brought the Medford record for
the year to six victories, two
ties and one loss.

Sparks As
o Wins. 35-0
Pullman. Wash. (U.R) Speedy
Oregon, with Fullback Jack
Morris and Halfback Jim Shan
ley leading the way, romped to
an easy 35-0 victory over hapless
Washington State College in a
Pacific Coast Conference foot
ball game Saturday.
Morris, a 185-pound sopho
more from Medford, who runs
the 100-yard dash in 9.8, teamed
with Shanley . to spark four
touchdowns in the first half as
Washington State watched help
lessly. Starts Early
Oregon started its scoring par
ade early in the first period after
WSC Quarterback Bob Iverson
hurried a 15-yard punt out of
bounds on his own 45.
Eight plays later Dick James
crossed the goal line and fumbled
but End Phil McHugh recovered
for the touchdown.
The drive was sparked by
Halfback Jim Shanley's 29-yard
scamper around left end. It was
the first of several long Oregon
gains around WSC flanks. The
short-lived WSC drive ended
when Oregon Center Nick Mar
kulis reovered Halfback R e y
Alvarado's fumble.
Shanley ripped off 22 yards
and Fullback Morris took a
pitchout and swept left end for
the remaining "17.
Starting from their own two,
the Ducks used Morris and James
to move to the WSC three, from
where James plunged over cen
ter for the TD. The Ducks scored
again after the kickoff, led by
Morris' 42-yard romp around left
end to WSC's eight.
Jack Crabtree passed three
yards to End Bill Tarrow on the
fourth down for the score and
the half ended 28-0.
With four minutes to play,
Quarterback Crabtree led a 56
yard drive which ended when he
scored standing up from four
yards out. .
Senators' Stock
To Mrs. Griffith
Washington U.R) Most of
the late Clark Griffith's stock
in the Washington Senators was
left to his widow, it was disclos
ed Saturday when the former
owner's will was made public.
John E. Powell, attorney for
the Griffith estate, did not dis
close how many shares actually
were left to Mrs. Griffith. The
late Griffith, however, held
4,432 shares of stock in the club
valued at from S100 to $125 a
share. That would make his
holdings worth around $500,000.
Griffith also left 50 share;
each to three of his nephews,
Sherry, James and William Robertson.

As the result of two closely
fought games Friday afternoon,
the Griffin Creek Griffin grade
schoolers reign supreme as the
1955 champions of the Big Five
Flagball League.
Striking for two quick touch
downs in the first half, the Grif
fins clung desperately to their
lead in the second stanza " to
squash upset intentions of a
fighting West Side school team
13-7 at Griffin Creek.
In the other Friday tilt, Lone
Pine's "comeback kids" rose to
the occasion for the second
straight week to down Howard
12-0 on the loser's gridiron. The
week previous, the Wildcats
handed Griffin Creek their only
loss of the esason.
