TORNADO PLAYS EUREKA
TONIGHT; FRONT WALL
SAID LOGGER WEAKNESS
Information on the Eureka
High school Logger arrived in
the morning mail from Al Tos
tado, sports editor of the Hum
boldt Times.
Medford's unbeaten, once
tied Black Tornado plays the
Eureka football aggregation ifi
the California city tonight.
Tostado regards the Tornado
a three-touchdown favorite but
says that "Eureka could pick
this one as a heck ot a time
to jell and come through with
an upset." He stated that the
Logger backs make hometown
fans hope but that the line
makes them "know better." He
then says, "But I think it only
fair to warn you that our Big
Four conference elevens have
not lost a prep lntersectional as
yet this year."
The Loggers have had an in-and-out
season. Despite the fact
it's felt the Eureka line is its
major weakness, the bright spots
for the Californians this year
are in the forward wall. Ron
Moore at guard and Bill Nichols
at tackle have stood out in their
play on the right side of the
wall. Both were all-conference
last year. Rest of the line, Tos
tado says, is not up to Logger
standards of previous seasons.
Weak at Quarter
Eureka's backfield has good
speed but is weak at quarter
back, an important spot in split
T offensive. Dennis Giuntini
and Jack McHenry share the
chores. Halfback Ron Peterson
is a good straight ahead run
ner and has speed.
Errol Scott at fullback is re
ported as overweight and with
out the speed and power he
had as an all-loop performer in
1955. Halfback Larry Sullivan
has speed and power and does
some passing but may miss ac
tion because of a knee bruise.
Jerry Olsen, a good runner from
half and full, is a tough line
backer. The Loggers also could spring
Jerry Long, a 128-pound senior,
on the Tornado.
Medford takes the field to
night aiming to uphold prestige
as Oregon's No. 2 ranked club.

ST. MARY'S GRIDDERS
TAKE ON TALENT HIGH
IN IMPORTANT TUSSLE
Talent High school's Bull
dogs will go all out tonight for
a title clinching football victory
while St. Mary's of Medford
will be scrapping to keep in the
running for its third consecu
tive Jackson County B league
championship.
The two schools collide at 8
p.m. at the Medford Senior high
stadium. A Talent triumph
gives it the B loop toga with an
undefeated record. A St. Mary's
win would leave the Crusaders
the lone unmarred club in the
circuit but the Bulldogs would
remain in contention of the title.
Tonight's game winds up the
regular coference schedule for
Talent but St. Mary's still has
Rogue River to play. Both
schools take forfeit wins from
Prospect which dropped from

the loop after meeting only
Rogue River and Jacksonville.
Both Met Jacksonville
St. Mary's and Talent have
met only one common rival so
far this season. The Crusaders
of Medford thumped Jackson
ville 33 to 0 and Talent topped
the Redskins 26 to 0.
The scores are an indication
of close battle in the crucial
game with morale possibly be
ing the deciding factor.
Talent is reportedly without
its regular tailback, Phil Combs,
who hurt a knee in the Jack
sonville fray last week. For St.
Mary's fullback Jim Darland
may see only limited service be
cause of a deep knife wound in
his arm.
The B schools provide the
football at the local stadium for
this week end since Medford
high, after Friday appearances
six weeks in a row, plays at Eu
reka, Calif., tonight.

ture of the great stallion Nashua
was discussed here today by the
three top shareholders in the
syndicate that purchased the
thoroughbred from the estate of
the late William Woodward Jr.

Leslie Combs II, head of the
syndicate, and his week end
guests at Spendthrift, New York

j. uevine, together own a con
trolling 18 shares in Nashua.
Combs' personal plans called
for the breeding of his Myrtle-

of imported Nasrullah. He owns
16 mares from that family.
Nashua was retired to stud in
