TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Slowly Intensifying Tornado Storms Over Eureka Loggers Medford High school. No. 2 ranked in Oregon, paraded its blustering football night on the northern California coast on Friday night and overpowered traditional opponents, the Eu reka Loggers, 34 to 0. Victory was the sixth this fall for the Hurricane Force of Southern Oregon which has been tied but is unbeaten now in seven games. It was the first conflict of 1956 away from home for the Black Tornado. As in several games this fall, the Big Storm took time to intensify. This time it was fumbles and a penalty that hampered. But, as the game wore on, foreign soil proved no handicap to the gridiron power of the Medfordites. A battering ground assault and, in the later portion, ad vantage from some breaks car ried the Tornado to its decisive triumph. Defensive the Oregon-i.-ns contained the Loggers on the ground. And, when the Eu rekans, trailing and desperate, turned to a blitzkrig of passes. Medford with improved aerial defense successfully fought that barrage. Filey Has Three Medford touchdowned one each in the first and second quarters, twice in the third period and once in the fourth. Gary Riley, at his offensive peak of this season, packed over for three goals. Dick McLaughlin passed to Dick Copple for the fourth and Bob Gee cracked two yards for the fifth. Copple kick ed four conversions. The Tornado was in a spot when Eldon Francis, hit hard fumbled on the Medford 26- yard line right after the open ing kickoff. But the Oregon club held the Loggers to stop the threat. Medford then bom barded to the Logger 26 and lost the ball on the fumble. Eureka gained little and punted. Penalized back to the one-yard line, the Tornado nevertheless banged back to the Eureka 20 only to lose the ball on downs. A successful march then got underway from midfield and Riley went the last two yards. Copple converted for 7 to 0. Pass Intercepted In the second quarter Riley intercepted a pass and .Medford took over on the Eureka 48. A pass, McLaughlin to Mike Stearns, went for 35 yards of the distance and Riley finally crossed from the seven. Copple made it 14 to 0, the halftime count. Eureka failed to get off a fourth down punt in the third quarter and Medford took over on the Logger 29. The scoring drive ended with Riley punch ing two yards and Copple kick ing the extra.

A couple of line plays lost ground or failed to gain and the touchdown came on the Mc Laughlin to Copple aerial. Jim Funston intercepted a Eureka pass on the Medford 30 and packed back to midfield to get the Tornado going to the last score. Gee's scoring plunge was for two yards and Copple toed the bonus.

Large Local Entry Work is in full swing to make the first staging of the tourna ment in Medford a successful one. An entry of 1,500 women is anticipated over the month of ac tion. They will come from 78 bowling alleys and 35 women's organizations. Medford itself will have a large entry with 199 .women in the local association. A total of 353 teams of five mem bers each took part in the 14th annual event at McMinnville last year. Committee chairmen named here to handle details of the tourney are Mrs. Fred Beck, ad vertising; Mrs. Mable Clark, scorekeeping; Mrs. Teddy Far rar, ways and means; Mrs. Mel Little, reservations; Mrs. Erma Jones, hostesses, and Mrs. Aud rey Swoape, breakfast. Mrs. Beck has expressed her appreciation to businessmen who have placed ads which will go in the tourney schedule books. Oth ers, who have not been contacted but wish to have advertising in the books may telephone Mrs. Beck (3-2691). She has express eded her appreciation also for the aid provided by Russ Jami son and Don McNeil in her part of the tourney preparations. Scorekeepers Sought During the tourney members of the city association will be asked to act as hostesses, check room attendants and scorekeep ers and to perform a number of other duties. Men or women who would like to volunteer as score- keepers may contact Mrs. Clark or leave word with Fred Ander son at the bowling lanes. Scorekeepers generally are paid by ladies sponsoring the state meet. Since this would mean raising an additional large sum of money, the Medford com- mitteewomen hope to prevail on association members to keep score without charge. Approximately 52000 must be raised by the women to sponsor the event. The goal reportedly has almost been attained. Breakfast Slated The tournament will close with a breakfast session at which association officers will be named and the 1958 tourney site chosen. Velna Bird, Sweet Home, is now serving as president.
