Newspaper Page TextIllness Strikes Other Tackle Position as Tornado Continues Drills for Friday Pel Contest Outlook for the Medford high Black Tornado for its wek end Southern Oregon conference football fracas with Klamath Falls suffered another setback and the Medford sick list added another name this morning when All - Conference tackle Neil Plumley went home from school with a case of flu. It was the second blow at the tackle spots for the Black Tornado which is girding or a Friday night District 6 A-l skirmish with the Pelicans at the Medford stadium. Larry Crantson preceded Plumley on the sick roster this week. Whether the two regulars will be available Friday night and just how much duty they might be able to see were questions which just couldn't be answered this morning. But it appears that the burden may fall heavily on the shoulders of reserves. Alb.rt May Get Call Frank Albert likely will get first call at the offensive left tackle slot if Cranston is not on hand. He'll be backed up by Jim Funston, center being taught the tackle chores and Pete Ker shaw. If Plumley is on hand at right tackle, Bruce West probably will get the call with Jim Corum behind him. On defense Dean Rickard, t steady and reliable but unsung. ' may be assigned Crantson's spot with West at the other tackle. Two others who have been on the ailing list this week are left halfback Gary Riley and reserve guard Terry Miller. Riley is still under the weather but is expected to be on hand- for action but Gordon Owsley may get the opening call on of fense. Coach Fred Spiegelberg has Dan Lovett, Mike Russell and Jay Walker to call up on to spell Riley on defense. Miller should be okeh on Friday, the mentor reported. Medford with its regular line up would outweigh the Klamath aggregation on average by sev eral pounds per man but the clubs will be about even n the weight situation if the Tornado goes most of the way with its reserves. The Klamathites lack their overall size of previous years but they have some good little men. Short on heft, they are making up for it with a good supply of speed and high morale. They have a backfield of the pony variety to throw against Medford which has power as well as ponies. The Pelicans will come to Cary Middlecoff Defends Western Open Golf Crown Al Williams, golf pro at Rogue Valley Country club, is among participants in the Western Open Golf tournament at San Fran cisco. By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) Dr. Cary Middlecoff sets out to de- iend one of his numerous golf ing crowns here today when play gels underway in the $22,500 Western Open Golf champion (hip. The tournament, played over the short but confining Presidio Golf club course, has attracted the nation's top professional and amateur stars in the battle for gold and glory. Middlecoff, who also currently holds the , National Open title, doesn't tee off until 12:23 p.m. but some of the unlucky ones in the draw will hit their first ball through the fog and damp ness at 6:15 a.m. PST. The large field of 168 necessitated the early teeing off time. It gets dark here around 6 p.m. Watch V.nturi Off his record, Middlecoff has to be the favorite. But Cali fornia State Amateur Champion Ken Venturi may be the man to .beat. Venturi, a local product, has been practicing diligently on this course for the last month. He served notice Wednesday that he was in tip-top condition when he fired a six-under-par 66 with six birdies and no bogies. "The man who wins this tour nament will have to be straight off the tee," said Middlecoff. 'After that it is just a matter of how close you can come to the pins on your short approaches. If you stray on your tee shot. however, you're in trouble. The rough is high and every hole is tree-lined." Naturally. Middlecoff is known as one of the straightest drivers in the business. So he shouldn't have too much trouble. Playing with Venturi as a partner in an exhibition match watched by 4.000 fans, Middle coff had a 75. The big attrac tion, of course, happened to be Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. A team captained by Crosby, and also including National Am ateur Champion Harvie Ward and professionals Doug Ford and Mike Souchak, beat the Hope team with an aggregate score of 305 compared with 310. Souchak had a 72, Ward 75. Ford 77 and Crosby a very good 81. On the Hope team were Ven turi, Middlecoff and long-hitting George Bayer. Bayer, had an 80, Hope a generous 95. But today the chips are down and some of the other shot makers in the great field may Medford with a morale boost of having played their best season last week end when they nicked Boise, Ida., 14 to 12. In the first half the Pels put forth an of fensive thrust which had been a long time coming then rallied on defensive strength to keep on top. Possible starters for the Pel icans are Mike Albo and Terry West, ends, Dave Riley and Paul Bilant, tackles, Al Siegner and Tarey Schell or Pete Barnhisel, guards, Cal Tichenor, center; Verland Butch Kimpton, quart erback, Lee McGill, left half back, Richard Humphrey, right half, and Bill Shreeve, fullback. Tornado Starter On offense Medford may open with Larry Copple and Mike Stearns, ends, Albert and West or Plumley, tackles, Bob Apple and Tom Merton, guards, Dick Swinney, center, Dick McLaugh lin, quarterback, Owsley or Riley left half, Eldon Francis, right half, and Bob Gee or Loren Christean, fullback. For defense the opening line up could see Copple and Stearns or Tom Hamlin, ends, Albert and Plumley or West, tackles. Bob Apple, middle guard, Mert on, McLaughlin and Funston or Gee, linebackers, and Francis, Owsley and Gary Riley or Lovett, halfbacks. Francis has been the work horse among Medford backs, packing the ball 51 times. He has rushed for 352 yards for an average of 6.9 per carry. Chris tean with just 15 packs is next high in total yards as his mates have shaken him lose for 233 and a buldging 16.2 average. Passing Threat Owsley has 139 yards in 21 times for 6.6 and Riley 166 in 27 for 6.1. Gee has total 111 in 29 for 3.8, and Dick McLaughlin 104 in 29 for 3.6. While Medford's main gains have been on the ground, its passing has been a threat, paying off in touchdowns. McLaughlin has been the main thrower with 12 completions for 26 casts. Re ceivers have hauled in three of five flung by Owsley. So far this season the Tornado has collected 1576 yards from scrimmage to 1171 for foes. The averages compare at 335.2 to 234.2 yards per game. Medford has made 1182 yards on the ground, or 236.4 a game to rival's figures of 816 and 163.2.

These include such well-known aces as Tommy Bolt, Porky Oliver, Bob Toski, Jim Ferrier, Frank Stranahan, Dutch Harrison, Jerry Barber, Ed Fur gol and Bobby Rosburg. Talent High To Oppose Jacksonville Talent Light drills have been the order of business this week for the Talent high Bulldog footballers. They'll try to make it two in a row in the Jackson County B league Friday night when they oppose Jacksonville here. Coach Dick Thorpe said that his Bulldog charges have drilled considerably on pass defense. Jacksonville and Talent have played one common rival. Eagle Point, with the results about the same. The Redskins fell 57 to 7 to the Eagles while the Bulldogs lost 50 to 0. That would indicate a toss up here Friday. Tycksen Back Thorpe said that Frank Tyck sen, who missed two games be cause of his hip ailment, is scheduled to be back in the line-up at right half back Mike Jacobs, who held down the posi tion last week end, is laid up with similar trouble. Probable starters other than Tycksen include Allan King and Ray Kaiser, ends, Bob Messeng er and Dick Bradford, tackles, Jim Spanker and Hank Cannon, guards, Terry Hazelton, center. Ron W e i n h o 1 d. quarterback, Phil Combs, left half and Mel Wallace, fullback. Brooklyn Dodgers Leave on Trip New York OI.R1 The Brook lyn Dodgers were scheduled to leave by plane today on the first leg of their tour of the Pacific and Japan. The Dodgers making the tour, however, will be slightly changed from the team that just finished the World Series. Stay ing home will be one group of players for various reasons, and joining the squad will be others who were ineligible for the World Series. Among those remaining be hind are pitcher Sal Maglie and outfielder Carl Furillo, who have pressing matters at home. Some others, like Charley Neal and Sandy Koufax, will play winter bail in the Caribbean. while adversaries have 255 for 51. Friday's game will start at 8:15 p.m. The Tornado spent much time on defense yesterday, held pass scrimmage and held a half- hour of 20-yard line speed scrimmage.

HALTING CALIFORNIA'S PASS attack in the opening minutes of their intersectional game at Berkeley, Pittsburg university's Ray DiPasquale snatches a pass from California Sport Parade New York (U.R) The Ameri can league was in as deep mourning today as those batter ed Brooklyn Dodgers, humilated losers in the all-or-nothing final of the World Series. The American league, which couldn't get a challenger closer than nine games in the pennant race, has to face the Yanks all over again next season. Brooklyn certainly doesn't envy the Yankees' season rivals, for in the final analysis the Dodgers were really creamed. One Anemic Run Over the last 28 tannings. Brooklyn was able to get only seven hits and one anemic run. Don Larsen belted them with a perfect no-hitter, the first in Series history, in the fifth game. Bullet Bob Turley was beaten but he gave the Brooks only four hits and one measly run in the sixth contest. And then Johnny Kucks pulled the string Wed nesday to shut them out with a magnificent three-hitter. Yogi Berra was the co-hero, along with Kucks, of that wrap up triumph. His pair of two-run homers put Don Newcombe, a Football Briefs DUCKS POLISH Eugene, Ore. (U.R) The University of Oregon Ducks pol ished up their passing attack Wednesday in preparation for Saturday's football game against the University of Washington Huskies. Coach Len Casanova has ap parently moved second-string quarterback Jack Crabtree into the starting spot in place of Tom Crabtree, the starter in the three games the Ducks have under their belts. DEFENSIVE CONCERNS Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) Coach Tommy Prothro of the Oregon State Beavers stressed passing this week for Saturday's game with the University of Cali fornia bat his primary concern was pass defense. Prothro pointed out that the Golden Bears have one of the most formidable passing games in the conference, while passes have cost the Beavers dearly in the games played so far this sea son. WSC GOES INSIDE Pullman, Wash. (U.R) The Washington State Cougars were driven to the field house Wednes day by the first heavy rain of the season, but they got plenty of defensive work designed to stop the strong UCLA running game. Washington State currently ranks eighth in the nation in rushing defense, but Coach Jim Sutherland pointed out that his Cougars have played two of the nation's top three passing teams in their first three games, so the statistic doesn't mean very much. HUSKIES TAPER Seattle, Wash. (U.R) The Uni versity of Washington Huskies have begun to taper off for Sat urday's Pacific Coast Confer ence battle with the University of Oregon Ducks. Coach Darrell Royal held dummy scrimmages and wind sprints Wednesday and remarked that his squad was in fine shape physically, with only one man on "the injured list. INDIAN CHANGES Stanford, Calif. (U.R) Coach Chuck Taylor of Stanford plans some personnel changes in the Indian first string to compen sate for an increasing injury list as the San Jose State game draws near. The Indians lost end Joel Freis Wednesday when the wingman suffered a strained leg which will sideline him for about two weeks. Team physicians also con firmed that tackle Jack McKen- na, who suffered a back injury Tuesday, will be out of action for some time. Br OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press 27-game winner, on the ropes and Elston Howard's round-tripper was a double blast because it also knocked big Newk out of the park. When Bill Skowron rapped a grand slammer in the seventh inning it was a history-making blow. That was the Yankees' 12th of the Series, breaking by two the classic mark of the 1952 Yankees. And. when compared to Brooklyn's "nine old men," these Yanks are a bunch of baby-faced kids. Bauer The Oldest Take the starting New York lineup in that final 9-0 game, the most crushing windup defeat since the Cardinals humiliated the Tigers 11-0 Svay back in 19S4. Hank Bauer at 34 is the "old man" of the Yankee nine with only Berra. 31, past the tough 20 s. Billy Martin and Gil Mc Dougal are both 28, Skowron and Howard are 26, Andy Carey and Mickey Mantle are but 25 while Kucks is a mere 23. The pitching is young, with Whitey Ford 28, no-hitter Larsen Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Quar terback Gus Gianulias of the University of California, feared out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, may be back in action in about two weeks according to Coach Lynn Wal dorf. Team physician Dr. Harold Muller said he examined the knee and found the injury was not as bad as previously be lieved. Halfback John Stewart injured in the Pitt game, will also miss Saturday's contest with Oregon State. HICKMAN BACK Los Angeles (U.R) Half back Don Hickman returned to action on the Southern Cali fornia practice field Wednesday but didn't participate in any contact work. Hickman was injured two weeks ago in the Oregon State game but was expected to play against Washington Oct. 20. The Trojans concluded their daily drill with a 30-minute passing scrimmage. PASSING WORRIES Los Angeles (U.R) Coach Henry (Red) Sanders has indi cated that he's worried about strong passing attack Washing ton State might throw against his UCLA Bruins Saturday. For the last four days Sanders has been stressing pass defense in practice. The Bruins, how ever, Wednesday also practiced passing under presure witht tail backs Doug Bradley, Don Long and Ed Griffin doing most of the tossing. Court Postpones Newcombe Case New York (U.R) Pitcher Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers appeared at Flatbush magistrate's court in Brooklyn today to answer charges of strik ing a fan and left promptly but reluctantly for Idlewild airport from where the team takes off around noon for a tour of Japan. Newcombe ended the mystery of his overnight disappearance when he revealed that he actu ally had spent the night at his home in Colonia, N.J., but had asked his wife to tell callers that he was not there in order to avoid being harassed. The Dodger pitcher's attorney. former magistrate Leo Healy. received a postponement of Newcombe's case until Nov. 19. Newcombe is charged with hit ting a taunting fan, Michael Brown, after being knocked out of the box in last Friday's sec ond World Series game. quarterback Gus Gianulias. Blocking for him are his teammates, Darrell Lewis, quarter back, and Dan Wisniewski, a guard.
