Southern Oregonians End Season Playing Wildcats Ashland Southern Oregon college footballer? have a de sire to end a so-so season on a happy note when they, tangle with Linfield college at McMinn ville Saturday night but their chances will be dimmed by the absence of two or three regu lars. 9 Quarterback Bill Seymour, who hurt his neck in the Hawaii game, and halfback Chuck Cran dall, who suffered a hip injury, re not scheduled to make the trip. And there is a chance that guard Chuck Romine may stay at home because of personal problems. Seymour! absence means that Lance Locke may have the main work at quarterback with Norm lledgepeth, regularly an end. to spell him. Willie Jones or Gerald Darland could get Crandall's flanker spot in the backfield and may share duties there. Modesto Jiminez ay get top call at Ro- mine's guard with Jack Greg ory providing the relief. Rich Wesell is also a quarterback possibility. ' End Larry Schweinfurt, both ered by a bum shoulder, may play some against the Wildcats but Norm Oliva, Dick Smith, Darland and Hedgepeth all could see much service at the flanks. Coach Al Akins reportedly will have a SOC traveling roster of around 29 players with Ray Thiess the only senior among them and most of the crew fresh men and sophomores. REPLACEMENT Cazenovia, N.Y; (U.R) Art students at Cazenovia Junior College have a new teacher this fall, but the question is, can they notice the change? Miss Pfudence Burg, present head of the art department, is on a year's leave. Her twin, Mrs. Priscilla Burg Jenney, took her place. AWAITS GRESHAM Larry Cranston, above, a 209-pounder, will be among those doing his share to stop the Gophers and to open the way for Tornado backs this evening when the Medford High football team tussles Gre sham here in Oregon A-l prep quarter-finals. Cranston, who turned in a standout perform ance against Grants Pass two weeks ago, will be on duty at the left tackle post. Game time is 8:15 p.m. (Landis-Shangle photo) I '1 .

Those on hand after the high school office closes this afternoon will go on sale at Gate 5, the north en trance under the east side grand stand. Harris indicated that a number of choice seats were left. Good Weaihar Sean The weatherman had a hope ful forecast for both clubs. Morning outlook indicated that rain was unlikely this evening although weather would be cloudy and cool. That means a fairly fast field for the conflict. Field in the middle is a bit gum my but turf on either side is in good shape. Tonight's engagement shapes up principally as a match be tween Medford's hard slugging single wing and T formation of fense and Gresham's stubborn yielding defensive strength. But the Grophers themselves have offensive capability that will give Tornado defenders plenty to reckon with. Hopes of Medford's District 6 champs lies in the ability of their line and backfield blockers to blast aside the highly regard ed Gopher resistance for break away backs Gary Riley, Eldon Francis and Gordon Owsley and for the charges of Dick Mc Laughlin, Bob Gee and Loren Christean. The Gresham forward wall which, like Medford's, has drawn many plaudits, will prep the way for the pass-or-run threat of quarterback Bob Schlo redt and the quick opener dashes of a pair of lightweight speed ster halfbacks Dave Woodford and Jerry McKee. Revenge Aim The Tornado also is expected to make its usual spot use of passes with anyone of a number of backs on the throwing end. Gresham, District 3 victor, to night will be out to take a step in equalling or .bettering its rec ord of 1955 when it reached the state play-offs finale and lost to Marshfield. Medford's Tornado, three .straight years a district champion, will seek to clear the quarter-final hurdle, after two unsuccessful tries. Last Tornado state crown was in 1944 and Medford was last a semi-finalist in 1918. Aside from the championship aspects of tonight's skirmish, the affair will be a revenge try for Medford. Last year the Gophers downed the Tornado 13 to 0 and held them to a mere 31 net yards from scrimmage. Gresham's grid contingent rolled into Medford about 6:30 p.m. last night .and worked out for about a half-hour at the sta dium around 8 p.m. The limber ing up on the field took the na ture of a pregame warmup. Breaks Could Decide Coach Brad Ecklund of the Gophers this morning ventured that the game could go either i way with breaks having a role ; in deciding the issue. He said that he is anticipating "a nice, fast, well - played, clean ball j game." He added, "I think it's going to be as fine a game as j fans will see this season." Eck-' lund also expressed pleasure on the condition of the playing field. Ecklund reported that big Gopher tackle Keith Torgrimson would not play tonight because of a knee injury. He said that the tackle's twisted knee was getting better and that he pos sibly could play with it taped up the chance. Torgrimion has en other year in school. Mentor Fred Spiegelberg of Medford had little comment oth er than to say that he felt his club. was "ready to go." The club went over defenses in their Thursday afternoon practice and worked on punt formation, ex tra points and kick-offs and re but that he was not going to take turns. Tornado squad members attended the movie at the Cro terian theater last night.. Officials for tonight's tunla are Ed Wellniti, Pete Taylor. Bill Borcher and Jake Leifht. Victor here thia evening will -. advance to a game with th winner of the contest between Benson of Portland and Ho Minnville, also being played tonight. B. F.
