Marshfield of Coos Bay on Fri
day night and against North
Bend on Saturday.
With a pause in its Southern
Oregon Conference campaign,
the Black Tornado has been go
ing at a more relaxed pace this
week and Coach Frank Roe
landt's main task is to keep his
charges at the proper level for
playing, perhaps, better ball be
cause the pressure is off.
Roelandt indicated that an 11-
man squad would leave for the
Coos Bay area tomorrow morn
ing. Making the jaunt will be
John Foust, Dick Copple, Dick
McLaughlin, Neil Plumley, Bob
Tisdel, Lloyd Cearley, Ed Reink
ing, Larry Perkins, Larry Sless
ler, Gary Riley and Mike
Stearns. Kenneth Kumasawa
will be the manager on the trip.
Medford beat both of the coast
teams early in the season' but
expects plenty of trouble from
each. Marshfield in particular
will be aiming to avenge an 80
to 44 loss early in the season
and there is every indication
that the Tornado will have to
play at its best to avoid defeat.
The Pirates are big and rug
ged and have a veteran ball club.
They were just getting into
shape when they appeared here
in December and now have hit
their stride. They boast an 8-2
record compared to Medford's
11-2. One of Marshfield's most
recent conquests was 70 to 60
over North Bend, which gave
Medford a tougher battle than
the Pirates last month. The Bull
dogs have not fared quite so
well as the Pirates but still have
a fast, improving crew.
Possible starters for Marsh
field are Hardy Spurgeon, Sandy
Freser, Barry Bullard, Roger
Johnson and Denny Baker. The
crew is up from the state champ
ionship football squad and is
rough under the boards. ' The
Black Tornado proved on the
meeting here that it is not afraid
to mix it with the Pirates but
this time out may have an eye
on trying to avoid any injuries
which may jeopardize its con
ference campaign.
Roelandt announced that
Dale Clemens, transfer from
Ashland, has dropped from the
Tornado squad in order to take'
a needed job after school and
on Saturdays.

Cortina hasn't had a good snow
