Tech, the class of the Portland
Interscholastic league, makes this
the biggest and most important
thus far this season for both the
schools involved.
Kick-off time today between
the powerhouse of the Rogue
and the kings of the Oregon
metropolis is 8:15 p.m. And high
pitched clubs are expected to
vie before capacity audience.
Advantages
Winner goes on next week end
to meet the victor in the Marsh-field-Pendleton
semi-final skirm
ish. The Buckaroo-Bucanneer
semi is set for Saturday after
noon at Pendleton.
Both Medford and Benson
have their psychological advan
tages. The Black Tornado has
the benefit of playing on its
home field for the eighth time
this fall and will be cheered
by a huge hometown gallery. The
Engineers of Portland carry with
them the role of the underdog
seeking upset. They'll have in
mind, too, the 7 to 6 stunner
Grant of Portland pulled on a
highly-favored Tornado team in
1945. Not since then, until this
year, has a Medford club reached
the Oregon semi-finals.
Medford, No. 2 ranked in the
prep polls, and Benson, rated
No. 4, also will clash in a battle
for prestige with the Tornado
nut to unhold the honor of the
south and the Techmen fighting
to atone for season starter re
versals of the PIL. Medford,
Grants Pass and Klamath Falls
of the Southern Oregon circuit
all trimmed Portland clubs in
opening games of 1956.
Improving Club
Coach Ralph Harper brings to
Medford an improving Benson
club which has a string of eight
victories going after an initial
non-loop loss to Marshfield,
which was later tied by unbeaten
Medford. The Engineers will toss
a T formation offensive at the
Black Tornado which like Med
ford features a strong ground
game.
Benson backs have the size
and speed to make the running
game click. They ran up 1880
rushing yards in seven PIL con
flicts. BOb (The Bullet) Butler,
has been the leading gainer with
795 yards and 7.6 per carry. Jim
Warren collected 484 PIL yards
at 6.4 a tote and Bill Newborne
has rushed at a 3.7 average in
getting a 326 total.
Quarterback Bob Christiansen
of the Techs also can be counted
up for yardage and, while run
ning is the Benson forte, he is
expected to provide some of the
most dangerous passing Medford
has met this year.
Afternoon Dinner
Medford is also a ground pow
er club but with the effective
and timely use of passes. It has a
host of fine backs with break
away boys Gary Riley, Eldon
Francis and Gordon Owsley and
crashers Dick McLaughlin, Bob
Gee and Loren Christean the top
performers.
The Tornado wound up its
actual field drill yesterday after-
