Black Tornado Eager For Clash With Bucs "The kids are eager. I like their attitude." That was the word last night from Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg on drills of the Medford high football team for its encounter with the Marsh field Pirates. Medford opposes the Bucca neers, defending state A-l titlists on Friday at Coos Bay. The tussle, which is non- con ference, might be considered "just another ball game." But the Black Tornado doesn't look at it quite that way. In addition to the prestige at stake, there's the matter of evening the score for last year's 40 to 19 humilia tion in the state play-off finals. And the Tornado is looking for Its first win over the Pirates since 1951. The best it's done were ties of 0 to 0 in 1953 and 20 to 20 in the regular season last year. Spiegelberg indicated that his ,squad, except for Tackle Frank Albert, is ready for. action against Marshfield. It's doubtful that Albert will play, although he is to go along and suit up. The lineman sprained an ankle in the David Douglas game. His ankle might be able to take it this week end but Spiegelberg is more concerned abotlt having Al bert in top shape in Southern Oregon conference and District 6 A-l scuffles. The Tornado suffered another blow last week just after it was announced that John Harvey had turned out and would bolster the backfield. He recracked the col larbone, fracture of which had kept him from previously turn ing out for the squad. Defense Stressed Defense has got -the main at tention of the Tornado in recent drills. That phase of the game was gone over thoroughly on Thursday, Friday, Monday and yesterday. The Tornado has not had a tackle scrimmage this wek and Spiegelberg did not plan one for today. There has been dummy scrimmage, how, ever, as the club sought to polish its offense. And pass scrimmage with blocking but no tackling was contemplated for this after noon. With,Albert more than likely sidelined for the Marshfield mix. Jerry's Union Station 611 n Central Phone SP 3-9176 U.S. Royal Tire Distributor the head coach said that the bat tle is between Dick Sorenson, 210 senior, and Gary Winetrout, 195 junior, for the starting berth. Hardy Spurgeon, 200 pound fullback, back from the PiraU's state title crew, is the big gua of the Marshfield backfield this fall. The Coos Bay club has fast halfbacks in Walt Hunter, 167, and Larry Bick, 178. Poggie Ba ker may be the starting quarter back but is being challeriissd fey Mike Coleman, who is a gaed passer. Although there ara bo 2S0 pounders and Cfenter S ca Fo rester is only 165 rxte, ttee starting line is good sia with ends 185, tackles 191 ad 192 and guards 192 and 111.

Prep Stars Enrolled at Oregon State Corvallis W Oregon State, riding high among the nation's football powers, apparently has struck it rich again.

UO Eleven Said Up To Old Tricks Eugene, Ore. OP! Coach Len Casanova gave his University of Oregon Ducks a light workout Tuesday but Frosh Coach Jer ry Frei gave them a heavy talk about what to expect from UCLA when the two teams meet Saturday at Portland. "UCLA will wait for you to make a mistake," the scout warned. "Against Illinois last week, the Bruins at one time had 13 points on only three first downs and they never lost that 16-0 half time lead." 1952 Biiick Super 4-Door Sedan Tha ferm.r own.r, Don Av.ry, it a wheel down oround Etna, Hayfork end Happy Camp th.ot.r ep. rotor to you.

The Ducks, who meet UCLA in a Pacific Coast conference game vital to Oregon's Rose Bowl hopes here Saturday night, gave fans a double dose of the disappointment medicine against Pittsburgh last week end. First of all, Oregon complet ed a 45-yard pass play late in the first half which saw Halfback Jim Shanley scamper untouched across the Panther goal line. But what happened? Oregon was offside. , UCLA Game Hurt Then, after going ahead 3-0 on a field goal, Oregon's pass de fense vanished with just 22 sec onds to play allowing Pitts burgh to complete a pass that won the game for the eastern ers 6-3. Oregon boosters' hope that the last-second loss to Pitt won't affect the Ducks' morale, but they too well remember last year's game with UCLA. In that one, Shanley, called by many of the West's best all around halfback, took the open ing kickoff to the Bruin one-yard line. What happened? Oregon was caught clipping and was penalized back to its own two, in effect a 97-yard penalty. UCLA went on to win 6-0. At It Again The very next week Oregon's Jack Morris returned a kickoff to the Washington seven. What happened? The Ducks fumbled. They lost this one, too, as well as the next pair and were out of the Rose Bowl. picture before they recovered in the final weeks to beat Southern Cal and tie champion Oregon State. In the Ideaho game this sea son, the Ducks were at it again. On the very first play of the season. Morris rejaabiearj ail the way to the Iflaho ewe. What hap pened?

Bruise Pills Being Taken By Aggies By ED FITE Dallas, Tex. (IP) Texas A&RI football players are taking special vitamin capsules design ed to soften the effects of bruises and sprains and minimize the recovery time from such injuries, the United Press learned today. The tests, which have been, carried out the past year by team trainer Charles E. Smokey Harper and supervised by the team physician, Dr. R. Henry Harrison, are far from conclu sive, but Harper said today that he was "impressed with the ap parent sucess" and that he plan ned to continue using the vita mins'. . If it proves as worthy &s the preliminary findings indicate, the "bruise pill," as it has been nicknamed, could have a far reaching effect on the treatment of superficial wounds such as bruises, hematomas and muscle strains and sprains for all types of athletes. Not Pep Pill Harper emphasized that ia o way is the capsule which carries the trade name C.V.P. and is manufactured by the U.S. Vita min Corp. to be construed ass a "pep pill." "It is a bioflavanoid prepara tion made from citrus peel and juices with Vitamin C added," he said. "It has no pep qualities what ever." He pointed out that this type of medicine has been used by medical authorities in the past in cases where capillary fragility was a problem. He said that controls conduct ed on Texas A&M players last season, during spring training and also this fall indicate there is a definite decrease ia t-fce in cidence of both su-pe-rfkial and deep bruises, sprains asad strains among those players who are givea the eagsaie . Sugar Says No Direct Bribe Offer Received New York W Sugar Ray Robinson could become "Silent Ray" if he heeds the advice of the N. Y. state athletic commis sion and zips his lip in the pres ence of sports writers. Julius Helfand, commission chairman, told the ex-middleweight champion to be "very careful'' in future statements to th press, lest he become in relred in another rhubarb. Helfand cautioned Robinson at the conclusion of Tuesday's two hour hearing into Sugar Ray's quoted or misquoted claims that be had received many bribe-offers to throw fights during his career. No action was taken against anyone. Robinson, chief witness at the hearing, said that (1) the sports writers at a training camp press conference had misinterpreted his remarks, or (2) he had given them the wrong impression; for he actually never had received a direct offer of a bribe from anyone. He had, however, heard re marks or "cracks" at various times from spectators at his training camps that could have been "leads" he might have fol lowed had he been interested in money instead of winning fights.
