Marshfield Opponent in Titanic Tilt A pair of gridiron goliaths, who have mowed an unbeaten swath through the ranks "of Ore gon high schools and thereby stand out above all others, come together tonight, concluding the three-month-long prep campaign in a last ditch, shoot-the-works encounter for" the Class A-l state championship. the big finale between -the massive Marshfield Pirates and the rugged Medford Black Tor nado, following 8:15- p.m. kick- on m Multnomah stadium at Portland, is viewed as a "dream game" and a natural." For, weeks ago, in the young sea son, the two were picked to go an me way- in the march to ward the big school 1956 wrap up tangle. Medford -'Marshfield rivalry Has been intense when the two schools, have met in any sport. And the football., experts and John.Q. Fan, alike, have joined in predicting a torrid, high-pitched tussle and one of the finest games in the 14 years of Oregon prep grid play-off contention. Pirates Slim Choice As defending champions "and holders of an undefeated rec ord over three years and 34 games; the .Pirates of Coos Bay have been accorded the role of sh'ht favorite. But the Big Wind of Southern Oregon has 'its sup porters, too." b'.-sed-'on the late September 20-all deadlock w'ith the Bucanneers. The ..co-champs of 1954 and Jqne titlists of r955, now after their third successive crown, had to come from behind to achieve that 'tie in a none leaeoe. non-district hassle. Scores against common foes point to an otherwise even com bat which may be resolved eith er by breaks or degree of de sire. Powerful, crushing and explos ive ground attacks with the strat egic use of aerial thrusts are the forte of both clubs. The Coos Bay club utilizes the T forma tion with a 194-potlnd a verging line, n-c'oably .the largest among !.e leading schools in the state, opening the way for the speedy broken field runners". Roger Johnson and Jim Shanley and big ' fullback Hardy - Spurgeon. Medford's offense1 is more ver satile, combining the power of the single wing and the wide open action of the T. The at tacking Tornado line at an av erage of around 187, will yield about seven pounds per man to the Marshfield forwards but met the Pirate challenge headon in the previous mix. And the Tor nado wall has been tough and mobile through the fall. In top performing -backs the Rogue valley elub has an edge in numbers. It has an all-around quarterback in Dick McLaugh lin, whose running in late games has been helpful With his signal calling, passing and blocking. The Tornado .has scatbacks- in Gary Riley, Eldon Francis and Gordon Owsley, a booming run ner and.hard blocker in Bob Gee and a- driving ball, packer in Loren Christean, who has also broken away dn a number of oc casions. In' addi'ion to meeting each other during the season, the fin alist clubs also each met Grants Pass, Roseburg, and Benson of Portland during the season. Marshfield licked GP 20 to 0 and Medford did it 28 to 7. The Tornado polished off Roseburg 40 to 14 while the Pirates took BOOST THE LIMIT Portland-U.R) The delegate assembly of the Oregon School Activities Association today was scheduled whether to boost the. limit for class B schools from 150 to 200 students. At present schools with more than 150 stu dents are in the A-2 class. Medford Boy Ties PCC Extra Point Record Eugene (U.PJ Jack Morris. Oregon fullback from Medford. has tied the Pacific Coast Con ference record for iS straight points after touchdowns, a re check of the records showed to day.

Revised Bracketing Medford is the District 6 titlist and Marshfield took Dis trict 5. In both 1954 and 1955 the two clubs met in state quarter-finals.
