Hill Has Swift,
Rugged Halfbacks
At Southern Cal
Lns Angeles It isn't often
that a coach loses only a couple
of second string halfbacks from
the preceding season and also
welcomes back a consensus Ail
American, but that's the bright
picture that faces Jess Hill as he
readies his SC team for the start
of the 1956 campaign.
Led by all-time SC great, Jon
Arnett, Coach Hill will have a
swift and rugged band of Trojan
halfbacks at his disposal this
year. Arnett is one of those
"guilty" seniors limited to five
games of play but there are an
eager bunch of understudies
ready to step in.
Arnett. the nation's No. 2
scorer last year with 15 TDs and
18 conversions, will end a bril
liant Trojan grid career this sea
son. The team's top rusher in '54
with 478 yards and again last
year with 672, Jon currently
ranks 12th on the list of all-time
Trojan varsity career rushing
leaders.
Zampfii No. 2
Behind Arnett. Hill will be
able to call on Ernie Zampese,
Doug Kranz, and Rex Johnston.
Zampese was Arnett's top re
placement last year while the
highly under-rated Kranz has
been moved over from the right
half position. Johnston is up
from the frosh.
Manning the right half slot is
another 1955 standout, Junior
I Don Hickman. At the start of
the '55 season, Don was battling
j for starting honors with veter
j ans Ron Brown and Ernie Merk.
j He quickly won the first string
I berth with 'his determined and
; fierce play. A hard-driving run
I ner, he is also rated as Troy's top
backlield blocker. Hickman has
also seen duty at left half and
will be ready to move over if
the need arises.
Backing up Hickman are Tony
Ortega, a standout on last year's
frosh; Joe Agapay, up from the
JVs. and Fred Fierce, a non-let-terman
on the '54 and '55 varsity.

Mail Tribun, Sports Editor
When head coach Fred Spie
gelberg spoke to the Medford
Kiwanis club this week concern
ing season prospects for the Med
ford High school football team,
some members were eager to
know how they should bet on
the game. Fred is known for his
cautious statements about his
clubs. And he voiced caution in
this particular reply. "Keep
your money in your pocket,"
was the mentor's advice.
Do They Gradual
Fred's remarks got around
to the aver tough Marshfield
football learn which Medford
meets again this season. He
told of the standout players
the Pirates have back this
year. And ha quoted the re
mark of a former Medford
educator concerning athletes
at the Coos Bay school: "I
don't think they graduate
them over there."

TORNADO HANDS FULL
On the outlook for Medford
this season. Spiegelberg stated,
"We may be the favorite but
we'll have our hands full before
the season is over. On a recent
television program all Southern
Oregon conference coaches with
the exception of Spiegelberg,
W'ho looks for particular trouble
from Klamath Falls.
In his Kiwanis talk the coach
pointed to the fact that Medford
high is one of only two schools
in the state in which the ath
letic fund is kept up solely by
gate receipts from games.
Marshfield was listed as the
other. The mentor therein point
ed up the need for sale of foot
ball season tickets. These are
still available at the school with
the price adjusted in accordance
with remaining games.
