TWELVZ MEDFORD (OREGON) arshfield For State A-1 Football Portland (UP.) Marshfield" Golden Pirates roared over an out-classed Gresham team, 19-0, at Multnomah stadium here Fri day night to win the 1955 Oregon Class A-l High School Football championship. A crowd of 9,732 saw the Pirat ex frrm Coos Bay successfully defend the crown they had to share last year with South Sal em. It was the 23rd straight victory for Marshf ield in a string marred only by the 13-13 tie played with South Salem in last year's title game. The defeat was the first of the season for Gresham's Goph ers. The Pirates completely domin ated the conflict. Marshfield wasted little time eettins underway after the open ing kickoff. With Roger Johnson and 198-pound Denny Baker do ing the heavy leg work, the Priates drove 64 yards in 12 plays to score. It was Johnson who rammed across from the the one-yard line. The game was never in doubt from that point on. Fraser Runs i In the second period, Marsh field quarterback Sandy Fraser, protected by a wall of blockers, returned a Gresham punt 42 yards for the second Pirate score for a 13-0 halftime lead. Three fumbles interrupted po tential Pirate scoring drives in the third quarter. Fullback Bak er finally scored from one foot out in the first play of the fourth quarter for the final Marshfield touchdown. Fraser, a beautifully deceptive ball handler as well as a talent ed runner, was easily the star of the game. His second longest run of the contest was a 42-yard punt return in the third quarter. The run placed the ball on the Gresham 10-yard line,, but a fumble ruined a Pirate scoring chance. The Gophers, undfeated until last night's game, failed to put together an offense during the first half. Gresham quarterback Bob Schloredt began connecting with passes in the second half, but butterfingered receivers several times halted Gopher scoring threats.

Whether pro ball will return here after five years of absence may hinge on the meeting. A preliminary session to dis cuss the matter was held last week. The small group attend ing that meeting has contacted various industries and other busi nesses of the Medford vicinity, requesting that they have repre sentation at the Jackson hotel Monday. Requests reportedly have met with fine response, in dicating possibility of a sizeable turnout for the session. The Eugene men expected are Don Husband, an attorney and a partner in the Emerald club of the NWL, and Dick Strite, sports editor of the Eugene Register- Guard. Charlie Snellstrom, lum berman also associated with the Emeralds, may make the trip. To Tell Operation These men will help in the explanation of Northwest League operation, giving infor mation on the administration of their own clubs and providing in sight on Medford possibilities. Proposals for financing and underwriting a team locally will be presented to the group. It is likely that a partnership plan of backing, such as is in effect at Eugene will be discussed. Whether Salem is represented or not at the Monday confab. Medford baseball interests will have statistical information on the operation of the Senators. The report was enclosed in a letter from Hugh Luby, Senator general manager, to Hale Green- man, Medford. Luby said: "Enclosed is our finance re port for the last two seasons here at Salem, showing the cost of operating and we are going to OREGON TRAPSHOOTERS Reno (UP.) Dick Gridley of Portland, and J. R. Hays of Idaho Falls, led approximately 75 scattergunners Saturday as the annual fall trapshooting tournament at Harold's Trap shooting Country Club entered its second day. Hays, firing from the 23-yard mark, topped the 23 to 27 yard division by scoring 97x00 in the opening event. Gridley, a 21 yard shooter, led the 18 to 22 yard division with 95x100.

Please use this as a Class B League scale and you will agree that a city like Medford can do a real good job support ing professional baseball." Invited The Senator report shows a small loss for 1955. Medford interests recently re ceived an invitation to join the Northwest League from Babe Hollingberry, who has just com pleted his term as president of the circuit. Jim Fleishman, new president has said he'll work for Medford entry, which would make the league an eight-team loop. Present members in addi tion to Eugene and Salem are Spokane, Wenatchee, Yakima, Tri-City and Lewiston. The other cities are interested in having Medford "in" and have offered their help in getting a club organized here. Support has been noted from the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. Luby said in his letter that he will be glad to drive down for fu ture meetings on baseball or ganization here. He won't be here Monday. With all the support, the de cision on having a Northwest League baseball team till must be made by the people of Med ford . and vicinity, themselves. Attendance at the Monday ses sion and action taken then will determine much the future of pro baseball here if there is to be a future. Tornado Cagers Prep For Loop Jamboree A Medford high school varsity basketball squad of 16 players, eight of whom have been on hand so far for only four drills, is preparing for the Southern Oregon Conference jamboree, opening event of the maplecourt season, on Dec. 2, at Klamath Falls. The eight latest to turn out were all football players. They reported Monday after a week's rest from gridiron action. In the group were Dick Mc Laughlin, junior letterman; Larry Gober, senior with junior varsity experience; Dick Copple, Larry Slessler, Neil Plumley and John Hawley, up from the junior varsity; Gary Riley, jun ior transfer from Baker where he played jayvee ball last year, and Tom Hamlin, only sopho more on the varsity squad. Mike Stearns, another gridder, turned out during the week right after football play ended. He's a junior with junior varsity ex perience. The Black Tornado conting ent includes five lettermen. Senior monogram wearers are John Foust, Lloyd Cearley, Ed Reinking and Bob Tisdel. Rein king is doing what working out he can on a lame ankle. It was fractured during football season. Rounding out the current squad are Duane Sides, senior with jayvee experience; Larry Perkins, junior up from the jay vees, and Dale Clemens, senior who was on the junior varsity at Ashland last year. According to Head Coach Frank Roelandt, present indica tions are that about 10 of the squad will be spelling each other in games by the time the season is well under way. Right now, Copple, McLaughlin, Stearns, Foust, Cearley and Tisdel are leading contenders for jamboree starting positions. But Gober and Perkins are "coming along" and pressing for berths, too. The new edition of the Black Tornado is minus a height com bination like last year's duo of 6-foot ' 5-inchers, Jerry Kalapus and Glenn Peterson, who helped Medford to second place in the state. Tallest on the current squad are Plumley at 6-4 and WANTED! MEN TO TRAIN FOR REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS Age 21 to 60. Must be residents of this county two or more years.

( International) Independent Cage Circuit Announces Full Schedule; Play Begins This Monday Complete schedule for the 1955-56 Medford Independent Basketball League season was released Saturday by Loop Presi dent Dick Phillips. League play begins Monday at McLoughlin junior high school gymnasium with four of the loop's eight members seeing ac tion. Play generally will be Mon days and Wednesdays with most games on the McLoughlin floor. Company A of the National Guard and Moose Lodge will be rivals in the 7 p.m. inaugural on Monday. The second game of the evening will match Prospect and the Medford YMCA. Headquarters Company of the National Guard bows into action at 7 p.m. Tuesday against Hawk inson Tire Tread. YMCA and Moose are rivals in the second conflict. Three games are slated Wednesday this week. Head quarters and Butte Falls go at it in the early game at the junior high and Phoenix and Hawkin- Slessler at 6-3. Both have im proved much over last year and as the season progresses their height may prove a considerable asset to the Tornado. McLaughlin and Stearns are 6-2 each. Even 6-footers are Foust, Clemens, Copple, Hamlin and Hawley. Sides is slightly un der the fathom mark and Riley is 5-11. Roelandt has said he builds every year,- but with five regu lars gone from the 1954-1955 club, one of the greatest in Med ford high history, this will be a particular season of reconstruc tion. On the squad are seven seniors, eight juniors and one sophomore. Some idea of how the Tornado stacks up for the conference race will be gained from the jamboree. But the per formances at Klamath Falls won't tell too conclusively since Medford will play only one quar ter each against Grants Pass, Ashland and Klamath. The Tornado took Thanksgiv ing day off. Practices Friday and yesterday were in the morning. Afternoon drills resume on Mon day. Babe Flown to Texas Hospital For Observation Tampa, Fla. U.R) Babe Did rikson Zaharias, America's great est woman athlete and a two time cancer victim, flew to a Texas hospital yesterday because of pains racking the right side of her body.

The golfing champion immedi ately started trying to locate her husband, George, who was en route here from Denver and un aware of her condition. Football By United Press West Virginia 21, N.C.

Sam Brown, UCLA's great tailback, received strong sup port in the balloting but lost out because of the tremendous num ber of outstanding backs in this year's college ranks. The pattern established in re cent years was repeated again this season, as the midwest con tinued to dominate collegiate football. Led by Ohio State's slippery Howard (Hopalong) Cas sady, the midwest placed nine men on the 22-man All-America squad. The Football Writers again chose a 22-man All-America "team" for Look, with each play er having equal first-string rank, because "there are too many good players in the coun try today to pick just 11." This continues a tradition begun by the late Grantland Rice, long the dean of American sports writers. Following is the line-up: Ends Ron Beagle, Navy; Ron Kramer, Michigan; Rommie Loudd, UCLA; Harold Burnine, Missouri. Tackles Sam Huff, West Vir ginia; Norman Masters, Michi gan State; Herb Gray, Texas; Hardiman Cureton, UCLA.

Johnston said, "Lausse showed Friday night at Madison Square Garden that he can whip any middleweight in the world. So I sent out the offer today.

Lausse, 28, suffered the cut in the fourth round of this thrilling TV-radio 10-rounder with ninth ranking Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, an amazingly tough Cop permine machinist who provided such stiff competition that he made the 16-5 odds appear ridi culous. The 4,000 fans: cheered throughout. Lausse weighed 159 pounds; Fullmer, 156. Lausse, who had knocked out 25 of his previous 29 opponents, registered his 60th victory in 68 professional bouts.
