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.

Pirates1 1st String
Defense Has Yielded
Only One Touchdown
Marshield's first string de
fense has allowed only one
touchtown to be scored against
it this season.
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.
