Aieoiord high s football team
has a whale of an assignment
cut out for itself next week end
when it travels to Coos Bay to
meet Marshfield, Oregon's No.
1 ranked contingent in state A-l
quarter-finals. The Black Tor
nado has been surging stronger
with every game but will have
to be better than its previous
best this season to upset the
Golden Pirates. With Denny
Baker, running great, the high
riding Marshfield club looms
tougher than the 1954 edition
which twice defeated Medford.
CAME PRETTY CLOSE
It looked a bit odd when
Ihe press box statistics for net
scrimmage yardage alone (322)
exceeded the total net (321)
figure of Official Statistician
Virgil Swanson for Friday
night's Medford-Granls Pass,
high football fracas. But the
discrepancy isn't so bad as it
appears. The Mail Tribune
book indicated a total net of
328. Swanson was stepping off
the yardage at the sidelines.
To come within seven yards
of the official count in judg
ing by eye is doing okeh. Ben
Casey, back shop man. keeps
ihe scrimmage yardage for
this department.
HOOP SEASON COMING
Hardly seems possible that
basketball is just around the
corner in Medford. The reali
zation comes with the announce
ments of the Medford Independ
ent Basketball League organ-
'irine and of the start Of nign
school practice. The MIBL is
having a meeting at 8 p.m. next
Thnrsdav at the YMCA. That
night has been -set as deadline
for entry of teams. It is piannea
at that time to complete organi
zation for the year.
CAGE RULE CHANGES
Fans will note a little .
change in basketball rules this
season. The two-shot regula
tion for all personal fouls in
the last three minutes has been
eliminated. The five second
rule on retaining possession of
the ball in the front court will .
now apply to the dribble. Fla
grant technical fouls will draw
two shots and guilty players
will be disqualified automat
ically. Elimination" of the two-shot
rule means application of ihe
one-bonus regulation for ihe
enfre 32 minutes of a game.
Players fouled while shooting,
nevertheless, still get their
two tries. Under the 1955-56
rules a player cannot hold or
dribble the ball longer than
five seconds in the front court
if the opposing team is ma
king an effort to get it. The
new plan does not prevent
stalling, however. A team can
control the ball by passing.
WORKS FOR ERSKINE
Ed McCullough, ex-Medford
high athlete now attending An
derson college, Anderson, Ind.,
is an employee of Carl Erskine,
star Brooklyn Dodger baseball
pitcher. McCullough is working
in Erskine's craft and hobby
shop three or four days per
week.
The pitcher has told the Med
fordite that, if he wishes a chance
to stay at Anderson and work
next summer, he'll see to it that
Ed gets a chance to play some
baseball. That could be a chance
to work into pro ball.
McCullough started the sec-

ond game at quarterback for the
Anderson grid club this fall but
suffered a shoulder separation
on the third play. A football,
basketball and baseball player
at Medford high, McCullough has
branched into journalism in col
lege and is assistant editor of
his school paper.
REGRET EXPRESSED
A Prospect high Prospector
headline states: ROGUE RIV
ER HIGH DEFEATS PROS
PECT 21 TO 0. Following the
headline is the notation: "Due
to the failure of the reporter
to turn in this story on ihe
deadline we regret to say that
no story for this game is avail
able." The Mail Tribune
sports department has been
threatened with ihe same
treatment.
DAVIES PICTURED
From Dick Strite's Highclimb
er column in the Eugene Register
Guard comes the information
that a picture of the University
of Arizona football team of 1930
in the Arizona-Oregon game pro
gram this fall included Buzz
Davies of Medford. Davies, Strite
points out, was considered one
of the finest halfbacks in Border
Conference history.
MORRIS A SHADOW
Marlowe Branagan in his
Oregon Journal Tower Lights
describes a 57-yard touchdown
run by Jack Morris for Uni
versity of Oregon in ihe Ari
zona scrape as ihe finest play
of ihe game. The ex-Medford
star was chased and matched
for speed for only 10 yards
by Clarence Anderson, the
quarter-mile champion of the
Border conference. Anderson
gave up 10-yards from ihe
goal. Morris was described as
"a shadow with a golden helmet."
Thompson Favors
Ball Bonus Rule
By CARL LUNDQUIST
r. New York U.R) Frelo
Thompson, boss of Brooklyn's
farm clubs, not only called for
retention of baseball's . bonus
rule Saturday but urged that
Commissioner Ford Frick en
0 force it more strictly.
"I'm very hopeful that the
bonus rule as it now stands will
be retained, even though I un
derstand there is one amend
ment to be acted on at the win
ter meetings to throw it out al
together and several others that
propose new types of bonus leg
islation," Thompson said.
He emphasized that the
Brooklyn organization felt the
bonus rule imposing restrictions
on payment of large cash awards
to untried sandlot youngsters
"has done what it was intended
to do."
Effective Brake
"It is a good rule because it
saves us from ourselves," he
went on. "The restrictions have
been a very effective brake on
our enthusiasm. The clubs sel
dom now pay out bonus money
except for youngsters who are
so outstanding they are almost
certain to be worth It."
However, he criticized Frick
for not imposing a more severe
penalty on General Manager
Paul Richards of the Baltimore
Orioles, who recently drew a
S2500 fine for violation of the
rule.
NO STRANGER
Jimmie Jarries, member of th
Phoenix high football squad,
which played Coquille last night
in the District 6 A-2 title mix,
was no stranger to Coquille
players. He attended school
through the sixth grade with
this year's edition of the Red
Devils while his father was Co
quille high school principal. His
father, Ernest James, is now
Phoenix school superintendent.
Bears Stun
Washington
In PCC 20-6
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Cali
fornia's Golden Bears stunned
favored Washington 20-6 behind
the leadership of third string
Quarterback Ralph Hoffman,
Saturday.
The 20-year-old from Liver
more, Calif., sparked Cal to its
first Pacific Coast Conference
victory of the season by driving
the Bears 54 yards for a touch
down which put them ahead 13-6
late in the third period.
Hoffman iced things in the
fourth period when he inter
cepted a pass in Husky territory
and four plays later passed five
yards to Jim Carmichael for the
touchdown.
It was a dismal windup for
Washington which loomed as a
gridiron power early this season
after upsetting Minnesota and
Southern California. Coach
Johnny Cherberg's punchless Se
attle club now has been held to
one touchdown in each of its last
five games.
Aside from their short scor
ing drive, the Huskies never
penetrated any deeper than Cali
fornia s 31-yard line and spent a
good part of the day trying to
get out of their own territory.
GIEL IN ARMY
Winona, Minn. (U.R) Paul
Giel, 24-year-old former Univer
sity of Minnesota football and
baseball star who received a $60,'
000 bonus to sign with the New
York Giants in 1954, left here
Friday to begin a two-year hitch
in the Army. Giel lost four and
won four for the Giants during
the recently completed National
League season.
Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) Ore
gon State, scoring as it wished

Idaho, 33-14, at Parker Stadium
here Saturday in a Pacific Coast
Conference football game.
Some 9,000 fans, sitting in
sunnv weather, saw the Beavers
run up their fourth conference
victory. It was Idaho's fourth
PCC loss. The victory kept alive
mathematically at least Ore
gon State's chances of making
the Rose Bowl. The Beavers
have lost only to leading UCLA.
Youne Tommv Prothro. in his
first year as head coach at Ore
gon State, came up to the game
Saturday with some of his most
potent players on the injury list.

October dropped to four, com
pared with 12 for the same per
iod last year and 11 in 1953,
the Injury and Fatality commit
tee of the American Football

mid-season report were due to
head injuries, the most common
type of severe injury in foot
ball. Three were high school
players and one a college player,
he said.
Dr. Eastwood said he could
not say whether the sharp drop
as attributable to incomplete
reporting of deaths or more
through coaching and commit
tee recommendations. Dr. East

students at Los Angeles State
college, said the committee has
advised more attention to warm
ups, equipment inspection and
medical examinations.

ies were Steve Thompson, 17,

touchdowns in the first and
fourth quarters and one in the
second. Idaho's two TD's came
in the first and fourth periods.

yards for a touchdown.
Idaho retaliated a few min
utes later when Frank Negri,
substitute Oregon State back,
