TORNADO, PELICANS TANGLE HERE TONIGHT A-l Scuffle ;On Medford :Grid Turf Physical outlook for the Med : ford high Black Tornado was ;much improved today as the de fending district champion loot ; bailers awaited the 8:15 p.m. J kick-off time against a tradition Il Southern Oregon conference land District 6 A-l opponent. Medford "entertains" the Peli cans of Klamath Falls tonight in ? its second district and confer ence ruckus and the first for the Whltebirds. At the same time Ashland will be at Grants Pass j for a loop and district hassle. J The Black Tornado and the Cavemen are the favorites for !the encounters but the Medford aggregation is expected to run into considerably more trouble j a gainst the upset-minded Pels I than Grants Pass will find in opposing the Grizzlies. The Medford camp has had its worries this week when tackles Neil Plumley and Larry Cranston and halfback Gary j Riley developed cases of the flu j and end Gary Harrington sprain ! ed an ankle. Coach Fred Spiegel ' berg reported last night, how- ever, that Cranston was on hand for the Thursday practice, that j Riley was pretty well recovered j from his siege of illness and that Plumley and Harrington likely i would be in suit along with Cranston and Riley tonight. West May Start j Cranston and Riley are pos jsible starters. Bruce West could ' be in the opening line-up in place .of Plumley. Harrington is -not a ', regular starter but, although he S is hobbling, could see offensive tduty. Frank Albert, Jim Funston jand Pete Kershaw have been groomed during the week to take ;the duties at Cranston's position. jRiley has a capable offensive alternate in Gordon Owsley. A check of available records Indicates that the Pels and Tor nado will meet for the 42nd time since 1914. Medford has won 26 times against KF while the Pels have won eight and seven games have been tied.

Whitebirds have dominated in recent years with four victories in the last seven games. There have been one Medford win and two ties in that span. Tonight's engagement will find the underdog Klamath eleven of Coach John McGinnis going for an upset in trying to continue its recent year success. The Pels with only two vic tories in five outings aim to add bright luster to their season. Medford is seeking its third con secutive district banner and also is ambitious to uphold its Ore gon prestige. The Tornado with four victories and one tie is rated No. 2 among the state's preps. Klamath is unrated but is still a power to be reckoned with pim.mi jJW'J w'Jvjf e" i" .

Passing Threats Both clubs have stayed close to the ground this season but have the talent to take to the air when necessary. Medford has been the more successful with its passing and has the more versatile offense with its single wing and T combination. Klam ath operates from the T. Medford in Dick McLaughlin and Klamath in Verlund (Butch) Kimpton have talented quarter backs who handled the ball adeptly and who both can run and pass. McLaughlin has num erous receivers among the Tor nado ends and backs. The Tor nado has breakaway runners in Eldon Francis, Riley and Ows ley, crunchers in McLaughlin and Bob Gee and a strong fleet carrier in Loren Christean. Klamath backs are of the pony variety and have good speed. They include Kimpton, Lee Mc Gill, Richard Humphrey, Bill Shreeve, Joe Linman and Tomm1 (T Model) Farrell. Medford will have an edge in heft if all of its hands are available. But Klamath has some good weight in the middle and speed and spirit make up for overall lightness. The Tornado forward wall is mobile and hard charging. In its final drill last night, Spiegelberg had his club work ing a little longer than usual, going over defenses thoroughly. Kiwanians will sell programs at the game tonight with funds going to the United Medford Crusade. SPORTS RUNS AGAINST PELICANS Eldon Francis, above, will be operating from the right half back spot for the Medford High school Pelicans tonight at the Medford stadium.
