Tiger Faces John Saxfon Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Ralph "Tiger" Jones, who shook up Ray Robinson's comeback plans last January, seeks to do the same thing to Johnny Saxton tonight when he tangles with the former welterweight champ in a nationally televised 10-rounder at the local auditor ium. Jones, a familiar face on every body's TV screen, scored a un animous decision over Robinson and left many writers convinced that the former welter and mid dleweight kingpin had lost it dur ing his two years as a night club performer. Johnny in Clutch But since then, Robinson has fought his way back into a title match Dec. 9 with champion Carl "Bobo" Olson. Now Saxton is in the clutch against the same Jones, who comes in all the time and is very effective at close quarters. John ny won the world welterweight title from Kid Gavilan in a highly disputed decision late in 1954. Then he was flattened in the 14th round by Tony De- Marco last April who in turn bowed to Carmen Basilio, the current welter king. Next to falls and machinery, animal3 rank third among the causes of accidents to farm peo pie. Umpqua Fishway Ready for Use Portland With the new free way recently completed, migrat ing salmon and steelhead will no longer find the South Ump qua fails a rocky road to travel in their upstream journey to the spawning grounds. According to George Kernan, chief engineer, Oregon Game Commission, the new fishway by-passing the falls and allowing easy access to the upper reaches is completed and ready for use by migrating fish life. Salmon, steelhead, and other fish life can now ascend the 20-foot elevation by a series of 12-foot pools with a rise of only 12 inches from one pool to the next. The South Umpqua falls has long been a stumbling block to migrating fish, and only at cer tain stages of high water were salmon, steelhead, and other fish able to pass. During extreme low water flows all fish were forced to remain below the falls, seriously reducing the number of fish which were able to spawn successfully. The new ladder will allow passage of fish life at all stages of water flow, enabling fish to reach the vast spawning reaches in the headwaters. FIELD OF 13 Laurel, Md.

That point of interest about the Golden Pirates shows the task ahead for the Medford high Black Tornado when it goes against Oregon's No. 1 rated prep football team in state quarter-finals this Friday night at Coos Bay. Medford. itself, has. been ranked No. 9. The Golden Pirates of Coos Bay will present a line averag ing about 190 pounds on both offense and defense. It's not quite so hefty on offense and not nearly so big on defense as the forward wall the Tornado op posed successfully in its district titular fray last week with Grants. But in either case the avoirdupois is better and more efficiently distributed. Bob Peterson, a terrific 189 pound center, heads the Pirate linemen, according to Kenn Hess, sportswriter for the Coos Bay times. Barry Bullard and Dale Cardwell, the tackles, are big, Bullard at 220 pounds and Cardwell at 195. Both juniors, they were considered the weak spots in the line when the sea son started. Now both are rated the most improved first stringers. Defensive Demon Leonard Creasey, 180, end, is termed a "demon on defense." Other regular linemen are Oregon State Favored by Slight Edge Oregon State College, Corval lis Oregon State's high-riding Beaver football brigade turns into the home stretch next Sat urday against the upstart Bear of California. The game will be staged in Memorial stadium in Berkeley, with the kickoff set for 2 p.m. With OSC perched in sole pos session of second place in the Pacific Coast conference stand ings and California tied for sixth, the Beavers will enter the contest slight favorites. Howev er, injury reports in Beaver land and scouting reports from Cal's slaughter of Washington last weekend tend to nullify early season performances. A quick check at the records shows that it has been nine years since the Beavers toppled the Bears. In 1946 Dick Twenge, now freshman grid coach at OSC, had one of his greatest days and the Beavers won, 28-7. Since that year California has been all victorious over the Orangemen. The Beavers will place on the block their chance to post the best conference record in the history of the school. If the Beavers can get past Cal and Oregon they will finish with a 6-1-0 conference mark. In 1931 and 1946 OSC posted 6-1-1 marks. The imminent problem of top pling California will depend largely on the progress of sophO' more tailback Joe Francis, who is" nursing a bone chip in the left wrist and a severely bruised right shoulder. Francis did not suit up for OSC's win over Ida ho, and is not recovering as rap idly as expected. Fullback Arlo Wenstrand is definitely out of the Cal game and probably will miss the finale with Oregon. WiJigback Sam Wesley saw limited duty against Idaho, but should be set for California, as will tackle John Witte, downed with a hip point. Wesley's un derstudy, senior Dick Mason, rambled for an 80-yard punt re turn and an eight-yard end sweep to score twice against Idaho. The Beavers will leave Friday night by train from Albany, and will return by train after the game Saturday night. Chuck Amsbary, 175, good ceiving end, along with Creasey; Larry Hines, 176. and Don Bran don. 194, guards; Dyarl Barbee, 185, defensive guard, and Roger Johnson, 178. defensive end, who is regular left halfback on offense. Denny Baker, 198-pound right halfback, and Johnson are the big guns in ground gaining for the Pirates. Baker, a battering, hard to halt runner who is a top candidate for all-state laurels, has gained close to 800 yards for Marshfield this season. Johnson has been moved from end to half back for offense in midseason and has shown steady improve ment as a ball carrier. Sandy Fraser, 185. is quarter back and passer with Creasey, Amsbary and Johnson -as able targets. Don Messerle, 167, is the starting fullback. Marshfield boasts a record of eight victories, no losses and no ties, compared to Medford's six wins, one setback and two ties. Pirates Score 255 Neither Medford nor Marsh field has allowed more than two touchdowns to be scored against it in any one game. The Pirates have run up 255 counters to op ponents' 39. Medford has run up 160 and allowed 60, Coach Fred Spiegelberg and Assistants Bob Newland and Paul Evensen are working with 48 varsity men this week. There was indication that Medford should be in its top physical shape of the season for the con test. There were a few reports of ailments yesterday but. bar ring any more troubles, the club should be intact for the coastal trip. Spiegelberg is stressing team rather than individual work in priming the Tornado both offen sively and defensively for what the Pirates have to offer. The head coach indicated that some 35 players will make the trip to Coos Bay. Only 27 of them,' under Oregon School Ac tivities association rules, will be permitted to suit up for the game.
