IN STATE "Will they do it?" was the big question in the minds of Med ford high football supporters as the Black Tornado awaited its far s. '"-of, , My i ft, 1 ? f , - and could be just as dangerous. Gary Riley, John Bellack and ! Mike Hawkins are breakaway gainers the Tornado will at j tempt to free. Larry Gober is also good for lots of yardage if the Medfordites can open the way. And Dave Bosworth can wriggle through the smaller gaps. Dick McLaughlin, Bellack and Riley have done most of Medford's throwing this year. Hawkins, Hawley, Riley, Mc Laughlin and Copple have been among the receivers. A 35-man Medford squad left Medford about 8:30 a.m. today According to Oregon School Ac tivities association regulations GOES AFTER PIRATES Neil Plumley, above, 205-pound six foot three-inch junior, is a strong point in the Medford high football line. A starting tackle on both offense and de fense, he'll be in the thick of the fight when the Black Tor nado engages the Marshiield Pirates in a state A-l quarter final game tonight at Coos Bay. (Landis-Shangle photo). only 27 may suit down for the game. On the traveling roster were: Dick Copple, Tom Hamlin, Jack Gregory, Jim Coleman, Bob Apple, Gary Shaffer, Dick Swinney, Al Boardman, Lrry Slessler, Monte Hoist. Dave Drummond, Neil Plumley, Rod ney Hammer, Jerry Gatlin, Mike Stearns, Maury Butts, Larry Cranston, Mel Morgan, Gary Guss, Tom Merton.

Jay Walker, Bob Gee, Gordon Owsley, Mike Russell, Manager Larry Homer. The complete Marshiield vic tory record this year has been over Caldwell, Ida., 40 to 13, over Coquille 27 to 0. over Grants Pass 27 to 6, over Spring field 27 to 7. over Roseburg 49 to 0, over Prineville 21 to 0. over Eugene 32 to 13 and over North Bend 32 to 0. Medford has licked Cleveland of Portland 12 to 6, Roseburg 14 to 6. Crater 37 to 0. Eureka, Calif.. 20 to 14, Ashland 40 to 7 and Grants Pass 14 to 7. The Tornado tied Milwaukie 7 to 7 and Klamath Falls 13 to 13. It lost 13 to 0 to Gresham encounter tonight with the rampaging Marshfield Pirates at Coos Bay. The two aggregations, win ners of their respective district banners, contend in quarter finals of the Oregon Class A-l championship play-offs. Kick off time is 8 p.m. The game will be heard by broadcast here. Medford goes into the fracas the decided underdog. Its as signment of upset tonight is a big one. But, if the Tornado can rock the state with a stunning triumph, it will gain the posi tion of hottest contender for the Oregon title bunting. ' Marshfield's Golden Pirates have the favored role for sev eral reasons. Since early in the season they've been rated No. 1 in two press polls while Med ford only recently has pushed into consideration in the ratings (ninth and eighth this week). The Golden Pirates are . unde feated, scoring eight victories by impressive scores while Med ford has been harder pressed in a season of six wins, one loss and two ties. Against common foes Marsh field also has the better show ing, drubbing Grants Pass 27 to 6 and Roseburg 49 to 0. Medford won over those rivals 14 to 7 and 14 to 6. But the Big Wind has vastly improved since its Roseburg session and met a stronger GP crew than the Pi rates faced early in the fall. And it means to blow all com tiarisons aside. Consensus is that line play will make the difference in the struggle between Medford's Dis- tiict 6 winners and Marshfield's 1954 state co-champ Pirates, who are representing District 5 once more. Tornado fans are hopeful that steady progress to ward perfection made by the Medford forwards will carry the Pear capital club through. But the Tornado will be outweighed both offensively and defensively by 10 to 11 pounds per man and the Pirate wall is regarded as stronger and better balanced than that of the rugged Cave men which Medford bettered last week. Pirate first stringers have allowed only one touch down this season. Both lines will attempt to shake loose stellar backs. Denny Baker, 198, and Roger Johnson, 178, are the big running threats of the Pirates while Sandy Fra ser is a capable passer. Other backs of the Marshfield crew are unheralded but are efficient EXCELLENT ACTION PHOTO freezes principals as Jim Matheny (51), UCLA, blocks Don Cornell's punt in second quarter of game with College of Pacific at Stockton.

MEDFORDvlwrRIBUMl Seal Franchise Forfeited By Coast League Directors Vancouver, B. C (U.R) The franchise of the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League was up for sale today after hav ing been forfeited by league di rectors at heir annual meeting here. The directors announced yes terday they would operate the club next year unless a new buyer was found before then.

The club is $200, 000 in debt and the buyer would have to assume that debt. Joseph Cairnes, executive vice president of the Milwaukee Braves of the National League, said he had discussed the pos sible purchase of the Seals with PCL directors "but there was no meeting of minds and we made no offer." Mayor Fred Hume addressed the directors at a luncheon cele bration and promised Vancouver would do its best to make the city a strong member of the Coast League.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Spokane Indians Up Stock Limit Spokane (U.R) Stockhold ers of the Spokane Indians Base ball club decided last night to permit an individual to own SI 0,000 worth of voting stock instead of the previous $1,000 worth. The stockholders increased the limit after they were told new money is needed to meet about S32,000 worth of indebt edness incurred by the baseball club. The financial statement read at the meeting showed the club lost about $40,000 last sea son. Opponents of the new stock setup argued it would-be con trary to the original idea behind the community-owned baseball club which was that no one per son could get control of the In dians. Proponents of the new system said it was necessary to keep the club from folding.

LUNCH SERVED ON THE GROUNDS Scoter Downed At Summer Lake Portland Rare, indeed, was the bird in the bag of a water fowl hunter at Summer lake last week. Stymied at the strange ap pearance of the brownish color ed duck he had shot and think ing it was some kind of black duck, the hunter brought the bird to the checking station where Austin Hamer, game commission informative agent, identified the stranger as a juv enile white-winged scoter, the first scoter ever to be recorded at the Summer lake station. Because of its rare occurrence at Summer lake, the hunter do nated the bird to Vernon Maw, waterfowl biologist, who will mount the bird and add it to the Summer lake collection. Before the day was through, two more of the scoters were checked through the station, with the hunters reporting hav ing seen a flock of at least 15 of the large, blackish, colored waterfowl. Normally the scoters are a sea bird, spending most of their time along the coast and the coastal bays and inlets. Nesting, however, usually takes place in land on large bodies of water.
