These three Crater high players and their coach appear to be conjuring up a surprise for the Medford Black Tornado. The two grid teams meet at 8:15 p.m. Friday at the Tornado, Come Friday on "We'll have 11 guys out there." That was the comment of Medford High Coach Fred Spiegelberg as he looked over his Black Tornado football force for the opening conference game Friday night. Medford and the Crater High Comets collide on the senior high turf here at 8:15 p.m. with the Tornado beginning its Dis trict 6 A-l title defense and gun ning for a fourth Southern Ore eon conference and district championship. Flu and colds have made their most serious inroads of the season on the Tornado squad and just h,ow full a force Speig- elberg and his aides will have on hand for the encounter was not certain today. Those who were under the weather includ ed Centers Jim Funston and Pat McLaughlin, Backs Skip Ben nett, Jerry Lyons and Larry Brown, Tackles Monte Penwell and Gary Winetrout and End Pete Rasmussen. Jaycees Brought Up To compensate for the ill nesses Spiegelberg has called up players from the junior varsity Staff. Out at Central Point Coach X.dhard Warren reported that Crater, which has a smaller yoster than the Tornado, may Jie missing just one man because af sickness. He said that Guard George Hunt has a strep throat find has not practiced this week. ICnee injury, of course, has side lined Lee Gossett, one of the fcp Comet backs. Quarterback "Wayne Allen and Center Randy (Campbell are among those ham Jjpred by colds. Spiegelberg characterized yes rday afternoon's Medford drill Bs "not too bad and not too good." There was good spirit but the absence of key person nel made itself apparent. The 4Iedfordites had a long work- tut, drilling on defense and folding dummy scrimmage.

BOSEWALL BEATS KRAMER Stockholm (Li Australia's Ken Rosewall beat Jack Kramer of Los Angeles, 8-6, 6-2, before 3.000 spectators in Royal Hall Wednesday night. In the other pro tennis singles match, Pancho Segura scored a 6-1, 6-2 win over Lew Hoad of Australia. 2 4 i, j- i S A S t Grid ford G lie The tutor reported that the ankle Tackle Frank Albert in jured in the David Douglas game still bothers him. Dick Sorenson may get the starting assignment at the position. Crater, which has .thinner forces than Medford, even with out the hindrance of sickness and injury, went through its heaviest workout of the week last night. Warren said that the Comets looked pretty good of fensively but that the practice defensively did not go so well as he wanted. The players, them selves, he reported were a little disgusted with their work against Medford plays. The Comets reportedly are pretty eager and are bristling with confidence that they can give the Tornado a real ball game. That confidence has been helped along through the sea son with the Crater club doing better than was expected of it. Kerman Bennett, in the back field, and Tom Turner, at guard, have been among stand outs in practice this week for Crater. Bennett has been run ning hard on offense and Turn er has been doing a good de fensive job, Warren said. Sickness Hits Oppose Phoenix on Friday Ashland Colds, flu and in juries have depleted the varsity gridiron roster of the Ashland high Grizzlies but Coach Al Simpson is confident he'll put a crew on the field that will give a-good account of itself against the Phoenix Pirates on Friday night. The two aggregations meet hgre at 8 p.m. In a non-league scuffle. Simpson reported only 26 men on hand of his squad of 46 for practice yesterday. Among those missing were five tackles," four ends and nine backs. The coach said he had only three starters he could figure on. They did not include a starting offensive back. He stated, however, that with the small nucleus he felt he could put out a ball club. Some first string defensive backs will have to go both ways, Simpson reported. He said he would have to bring up jayvees for the engagement. Simpson ex pected some regulars to be on hand for at least limited duty and hoped to have about 30 youths in uniform. - Play under blizzard condi tions at Lakeview last Friday was given a good share of the blame for the physical ailments of the Grizzlies. Good Practices Phoenix appeared to be in bet ter shape for its growing rivalry with the Ashlanders. Coach Jack Woodward said the Pirates have had a good week of practice and that it's felt that Phoenix will give Ashland a good ball game. The Pirates weren't too happy about their showings of the past couple of weeks and that has fired up their efforts in the workouts. Woodward has stress ed offense this week, particu larly the blocking. He said that several boys who have not played too much are bound to get into the fracas because of their showing in drills. Wood ward aimed to use as many play ers as possible in his objective of developing depth. Among those doing top work in prac tice this week were Mike Camp bell, guard; Terry Hamilton, end, and Jim Heath, quarterback. ' Possible Ashland starters are Jack Tobiasson (playing fos the first time since the Crescent City game) and Doug Fitch, ends; Bill Rooker and Jim Bjork, tack les; Jerry Troxell and Jerry Gleims, guards; Hank Hampton, center, and Don Simpson, Paul Medford stadium in Southern Oregon confer ence action. Left to right are Jerry Kime, Wayne Allen, Paul Beach and Coach Leonard Warren. Allen is quarterback and Kime and Beach, ends, are targets for his passes. ders Vie ridiron Medford's possible starting eleven for the game is Tom Hamlin and Mike Russell, ends; Tom Morris and Albert or Sor enson, tackles; Tom Merton and Dick Corum, guards; Dennis Barr or Jim Funston, center; Tony Brauner, quarterback; Johnny Jones, left halfback; Bob Gee, fullback and Ron Reich, right half. With Lyons possibly out, Jones may get the job at safety on defense and Fred Funston could be at a linebacker for his brother, Jim. Gee may be at a defensive half in place of Brown. Mike Murray may have a first line assignment at defensive tackle. Crater's likely starters, are Paul Beach and Jerry Kime, ends; Doug Davis and Dave Brown, tackles; Glenn Cote and Turner, tackles; Campbell, cen ter; Allen" quarterback; Bob Fowler, left half; Allen Barnes, right half, and Kerman Bennett, fullback. Only probable defen sive change would have John Burns or Gary Legler replacing Allen and taking a linebacker spot. The schools are meeting the fifth time on the gridiron. Ashlanders; Alley, Wayne Collum and Jim Mattison, backs. For Phoenix it may be Bill Dillree and Don Korth, ends; Jack Hoffbuhr, and Jack Rinn, tackles; Jim Waldron and Larry Kidwell, guards; Ron Daugherty, center, and Gary Simmonds, Fred Faytinger, Don Wallace and Dennis James or Jim Heath, backs. James may play some at fullback as well as quarterback. Among starters on defense may be Stan Zwan, Earl Dillree and Jim Stout. Talent Game Postponed TalentSickness among mem bers of the football squad has forced Talent high to postpone its District 5B game with Malin. The tussle was to have been con tested here on Friday evening. Bulldog Coach Dick Thorpe said only two players reported Tuesday night for practice out of a squad of 30. No practice session was called last night. About 150 students in the Tal ent system were out of school because of colds and flu. Talent's game slated with Mer rill last week end also was called off because of flu among Merrill students. Izaak Walton Meeting Scheduled for Monday October meeting of the Jack son County chapter of the Izaak Walton league will be held on Monday at 8 p.m. at the Med ford Gun club. A sound color movie, "Rogue River Run," will be showji. It tells of salmon fishing on the lower Rogue. President Hank DeVoss will report on Rogue ba sin committee work and Col.

HOCKEY By UNITED PRESS The American Hockey league season opened on a hospitable note Wednesday night with the three visiting clubs each scoring one-goal victories. Providence, defending regular-season champion, scored late in the third period to edge Springfield, 5-4; Rochester nip ped Buffalo by the same count and Hershey beat Cleveland, 4-3. Jim Shanley Continues to Lead Ducks University of Oregon, Eugene Jim Shanley, the running back from North Bend, continued to lead the Oregon football attack at the end of three weeks as the Ducks prepared for their non conference game with San Jose State college at Hayward field on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Shanley has gained 274 yards this season rushing to take over the lead in the PCC and move into seventh place in the nation al standings. His brilliant, run ning this season has moved him into second place among the all time Oregon rushers with 1438 yards with seven games yet to play. Only George Bell, who gained 1729 in the 1947-48-49 seasons has a higher career to tal. Ron Stover, the junior end who has come along fast after a siege of injuries in his rookie season, tops the Oregon receiv ers with 10 catches in three games, the third best effort in the- PCC and the 10th best in the country. Stover is also one of the league's best defensive men and has excelled in his blocking. Veteran Jack Crabtree dem onstrated his ability last Satur day against UCLA when he hit seven of his eight passing at tempts and his ability to throw the football is expected to make the Duck runners doubly dan gerous as he loosens them up with passing. Jack Morris, who is second to Shanley in rushing, tops the Webfoots in scoring with 15 points, . nine of which came from three extra points and a pair of field goals. Oregon's defense, which has given up only two touchdowns in three games, seems certain to get a stiff test from the free wheeling San Jose club this week. The Spartans, hot and cold because of inexperience, have one of the west's better passing games and should give the Oregon defenders a busy afternoon. Saturday's game is family day with the entire family admitted for a special rate, and a crowd of 12,000 to 15,000 is expected to watch the final non-league game of the season. After the Spartans, Oregon meets Wash ington State, California, Stan ford, Washington, Southern Cali fornia and Oregon State in ord er in all-important PCC games.

Red hats and jackets, traditional protec tive garb for the nation's 25 mil lion hunters, came under attack again Monday when a series of color vision field tests began here. Both Oregon game commis sion and Oregon Optometric as sociation are cooperating on the project which is being conduct ed jointly by the National Rifle association. California fish and game department, and California Optometric association. Purpose of the tests is to de termine the colors most easily seen and correctly identifiable against a background of red and yellow foliage. Washington Game department, and Massachusetts, Michigan, Wyoming and Washington state optometric associations are co sponsoring the project. Using Army personnel, tests are being conducted in vine and bigleaf maple groves at Fort Lewis with two ten-man teams of soldiers, one group with nor mal color vision, and the other with varying degrees of color deficient sight. On Wednesday project person nel move to a golden aspen and cottonwood area, in Wenatchee National forest, near Merritt (150 miles east of Seattle.) Tests conclude Saturday. Tests are being staged in early morning, noon and twi light hours to simulate actual hunting conditions. Results will be weighted ac cording to statistics which show about eight per cent of the male population to have some degree of color blindness, according to Dr. William J. Thompson of Medford, project representative for Oregon Optometric associa tion. Tests conducted last year at Fort Lewis, Olympic peninsula and Fort Ord drew widespread attention for results which indi cated golden yellow to far outdis tance any other color, including red in visibility to both normal color vision persons and the col or blind group.
