Tornado Medford ites Have First Home Game (spot with 2 col cut & lineups) Medford's first big home foot ball game of the season is billed this evening. The Black Tornado, aiming to hnnnre back after a season starter loss, will be "at home' to David Douglas high, a young metropolitan area school rated as an up and coming contender for Oregon athletic diadems. Kirk-off time will be 8:15 p.m. at the senior high stadium The scuffle is a non-league game Medford's Tornado this year seeks to retain its prestige gained as three time District 6 A-l titlist and state runner-up in its class in 1956. The objec tives suffered a bit of a setback last week in a 7 to 6 loss to North Salem. David Douglas, located two miles east of Portland and in varsity contention only for the second year, is a relative un known outside its own area and has an athletic reputation to build. The Scots got off to an unimpressive start last season. defeating only Hillsboro. But with a nucleus of 10 returning ipttrmen avvear certain to make a bigger splash this fall They turned back Washougal Wash., in their opening struggle of the season. Similar Attacks This evening's encounter looms as a battle of simlar of- fenses. Both the Tornado and the Scots employ the unbalanced line with T formation and single wing plays. Coach Fred Spiegel- berg and his Medford cohorts naturally have kept their stra tegy quiet but, from indications of their North Salem contest, may stick pretty much to the ground. David Douglas, reported ly has a good passing threat and more than likely will try to put it to advantage. It was passing which enabled NS to clip the Tornado last Fri day but Medford defense tight ened against aerials in the sec ond half could be as unyielding tonight. Spiegelberg pronounced his club physically intact after a light workout yesterday. He, himself, however, is suffering from a cold and sore throat. Coach Dick Miller's Scot con tingent was due to arrive here late this afternoon.

Red Raiders Tussle offett on Ashland Southern Oregon college goes against the virtual unknown Saturday night when it opens its 1957 gridiron cam paign on Fuller field here. The Red Raiders of the Rogue go against Moffett Air Force Base at 8 p.m. These facts are on hand: Mof fett boasts a roster of grid talent gathered from all over the United States. Players from 18 different states are on the roster. States as far away as South Caro lina and Florida are represent ed. The Airmen have some good weight with a 230-pounder among the regulars and 230, 238 and 245-pounders on the bench. But the real quality of the op posing forces isn't certain. The enthusiastic Raider squad this season boasts a number of new faces and there are indica tions that, if possible, a good number of freshman will play. Two SOC newcomers, Lee Mc Gill, freshman halfback from Klamath Falls, and Phil Sword, sophomore center from Ashland, may be in the starting eleven. Colley Injured Southern Oregon players are hampered by mostly minor in juries but will lose the services this Saturday of regular tackle Herb Colley who is recuperating from a badly hurt knee. Rest of RED RAIDER IN ACTION Chuck Romine, above, who was a stellar Medford High lineman in the late 1940s, is now a veteran footballer for Southern Oregon college and, playing tackle, is a bulwark of the Red Raider forward wall. He and the other Raiders bow into the 1957 season on Satur day night as hosts to the Mof fett Air Force Base eleven. Kick-off time is 8 p.m. at Fuller field in Ashland. Torpid Cops Brown Jug Delaware, Ohio OP) Tor- j pid has returned to form and j there were few around today to '. doubt but that he may be one of j the greatest pacers of all time. The big bay colt from Sher- j wood Farms in Irvington, N.J., removed all doubt in beating a fine field on both a dry track and in the mud here Thursday, to capture the Little Brown Jug, the world's richest pacing stake. It was, as driver Johnny Simp son said in accepting the big trophy from Gov. C. William O'Neill, "the hardest day's work I have ever had." It had indeed been a rough afternoon for Simpson and Tor pid, and the 39,000 spectators. Torpid, behind at the start in his first heat, roared on to win in 2:00 4-5 and then after road scrapers and graders were called out to remove the mud caused by a sudden downpour, came back to beat his old tormenter, Adios Express, In the showdown heat. His time was 2:03 2-5. Chicago OP) Robert E. Cur ley, 57, quarterback : on Amos Alonzo Stagg's last Big Ten championship football team from the University of Chicago, died Thursday.
