Medford High's rip - roaring,
raging Black Tornado and

bine of flashing speed and burly
ruggcdness, have set the scene
for an all-out, knock-down, drag
out climactic encounter for the
District 6 A-l football champion
ship. ach scored a decisive triumph
Frjday night and will meet head
on this coming Friday, Nov. 2, at
Grants Pass each unbeaten and
with three victories in the South
ern Oregon conference and the
district.
Medford, finding little resist
ance, blew and blasted to a 47 to
0 verdict over the Ashland Griz
zlies. The Cavemen kept pace by
dominating its battle most of the
night to crunch the Klamath Pel
icans 29 to 7 at Klamath Falls.
At Ashland the Black Tornado
simply out-manned, outweighed
and overwhelmed the Lithian
Grizzlies in a game that went just
about in accordance with the
prognosticators script. The out -classed
Ashlanders squelched the
first Medford attempt to get its
offense charging but after that it
was the Tornado all the way.
49 Tornado Players
Ashland made no serious
threat during the evening on the
rain-sogged turf, although the
Tornado shuffled 49 players into

after three panels. For the final
counter the Tornado charged
along for 91 yards.
Get Only To 30
Ashland took over the ball on
its own 19-yard line as fourth
quarter time was running out.
When the closing signal sounded,
it was on the Medford 30. That
was the closest the Grizzly of
fense got to the Tornado goal.
Ashland penetrated only to the
Tornado 42 in the first half.
Medford's domination was
most marked in the first half
when the Tornado netted 289
yards from scrimmage only 25 of
it from passing. Ashland was held
to a net of 42. The Tornado had
a first down margin of 14 to
three for the first two periods.
With Medford reserves in action
through the second half, statis
tics were more balanced with
Medford having the edge 167 to
120 in scrimmage yards.
The No. 2 state-ranked Torna
do required only seven plays on
its 63-yard initial scoring drive.
Riley made one gain of 21 yards
and his final run was for 13.
Copple kicked the conversion.
Punt Try Frizzles
A short while later Medford
got the ball on the Ashland five
when a low center pass and the
charging Medford defenders pre
vented Ron Mickle from getting
a fourth down punt away. Full
back Bob Gee packed to the two
and Riley went over from there
with Copple booting the extra
again.
The 80-yard TD promenade ac
tually began in the first quarter.
It took nine plays and was de
layed by one clipping penalty.
Riley ale up the last five yards.
Big gain was on a reverse on
which halfback Eldon Francis
picked up 34 yards down to the
23. But Medford was called for
clipping on the 25 and the ball
was put back to the 40 for a net
of 17 yards on the play. Copple
was unable to get' a conversion
kickaway.
Nine scrimmage pushes were
required for the next TD and
85 yards. Medford collected six
first downs in those nine plays.
With the ball three yards from
the goal, Riley fumbled but nab
bed the sphere and sliced over
left guard to the pay area. Mc
Laughlin sneaked the extra.
Russell snagged an Ashland
aerial by Mickle and galloped for
the opening TD of the second
half. Gee's run try for the extra
was quashed by a fumble. Med
ford turned an Ashland muff
into its next TD. It took six tries
to go 35 yards and Owsley went
across from the two then ran the
conversion.
Russell Goes IS
Medford took over the ball on
its own 15 before starting in the
third canto the march which paid
off in the last chukker. An off
side penalty moved the ball back
to the 10 and an end sweep lost
to the nine. But 10 plays and four
first downs later Russell angled
over the left side of the line and
covered the 18 yards to the goal.
Christean punched over for the
added point.
Bob Murray, Al South and
Ken Dye threatened to break
loose two times for Ashland but
were held to few long runs. Med
ford showed added thrust in its
offense with quarterbacks Mc
Laughlin and Tony Brauner pick
ing up occasional yardage on
sneaks or keepers.
Tackle Larry Slessler, who had
been sidelined all fall with a
foot injury, made his first 1956
appearance for the Tornado and
saw considerable duty. Medford
was without the services of guard
Dean Rickard and Ashland with
out halfback Bob Davis. Both
were on the injured list.
No longer with the Black Tor
nado is fullback Dan Lovett who
reportedly has withdrawn from
school as well as football.

Fans Hear
Same Tune
By UNITED PRESS
The record is getting scratchy,
but the same old tune has to be
played again. Every Friday night
the cream of Oregon s high
school football teams tangle in
their quest for the state title.
And every Saturday morning
there they are, the same two
teams Marshf ield and Med
ford at the top of the heap.
Both powers did it again last
night. Marshfield, the No. 1
ranked team in the coaches' poll,
rolled up 19 points in the first
quarter and coasted to a 32-19
victory over Prineville in a non-
league contest."
Medford, No. 2, routed a hap
less Ashland eleven, 47-0.
Gresham, No. 3, and Beaver
ton, No. 6, retained their un
beaten status in Metropolitan
League play, the Gophers edging
Astoria, No. 5 this week, 6-0, and
the Beavers downing Parkrose,
20-6.
McMinnville, No. 4. continued
its winning ways, also, with a
comfortable 24-6 victory over
Oregon City.
Albany Tied
Eighth-ranked Albany had its
hands full with North Salem and
the Bulldogs were barely able to
pull out with a 13-13 tie.
Grants Pass, No. 10, had an
easy time in clobbering Klam
ath Falls, 29-7.
. The inevitable clash of the
undefeateds in the Portland In-
terscholastic League came last
night and Benson emerged in sole
possession of first place by vir
tue of its resounding 33-7 win
over previously unbeaten Lin
coin. The victory gave the Tech-
men at least a tie for the league
crown.
Eugene, No. 7, meets North
Bend tonight.
In other major contests last
night, Hillsboro blanked Central
Catholic, 27-0; West Linn
downed Newberg, 33-6; Pendle
ton swamped B ak e r, 48-0;
Springfield edged Roseburg, 6-0;
and The Dalles defeated Mac-Hi
of Milton-Freewater, 27-0.
In six-man football, Alsea
continued to be the scourge of
the state bv walloping Eddyville,
58-13.
Hunt Safety Booklet
Being Distributed Here
'"Be sure of your target before
you pull the trigger" is the ur
gent reminder to hunters in a
booklet which will be available
this week in most sporting goods
stores in southern Oregon.
Thomas C. Anderson, O. D.,
chairman of the Southern Ore
gon Optometric society, an
nounced that the booklet is being
distributed in the hope of alert
ing hunters to greater caution in
the field.
The booklet points out that
the annual toll of an estimated
500 hunters killed and 3,000 in
jured could be reduced if sports
men would hunt within their
visual bounds. It suggests a two
point program of action for the
individual hunter. They are as
follows: Know your visual capac
ity and hunt within your visual
bounds.
Dr. Anderson stated that
sportsmen's groups interested in
securing additional copies of the
booklet could contact any optom
etrist or the society representa
tive at 11 Almond Street, Med
ford.
