I" I'lJTf - - 1,1 UJU'-""'" TORNADO FULLBACK ROMPS Bobby (Gee Whiz) Gee, Med- ford high fullback, rips off yardage against Crater in their Dis- trict 6 A-l football game here Friday night. This action, with Quarterback Tony Brauner (22) leading the way, was in the sec- Roughing the Kicker Penalty Hurts Crater If the Black Tornado of Med- ford high roars on through the rest of its Southern Oregon con ference slate like it did over its "crosstown" Crater foes Friday night, it's a cinch to capture its fourth consecutive league and District 6 A-l football diadem. Minus several of its "horses" because of illness, the Tornado fcas still a potent force as it owed with a whirl into 1957 istrict competition. Unleashing mighty, high-geared, sharp and versatile offensive in the first Jialf along with alert, rock wall (defense, which virtually stymied the Crater attack, the defending litlist Medfordites thundered 40 to 14 over the Comets of Central Joint. Medford put together the run lng of Bobby (Whiz) Gee, Ron Jeich, Gerry Lyons and Dick Durantee, the passing of Lyons and Tony Brauner, some fine blocking headed by Brauner, Ly ons, Reich and Tom Hamlin and defense paced in the line by Gary Winetrout in compiling the victory. The Tornado was on top 10 to 0 at the quarter and 34 to at halftime. Penalty Gives Impetui v Crater fired up with a smooth er offense and stiffer defense over the last two periods of the contest. During the first half the Comets were not the stubborn unit that gave Grants Pass a stern battle In the conference a week ago. A roughing the punter penalty against Crater in the opening moments of the game provided the impetus for an overpower ing Medford offensive. The Tor nado received the opening kick off. Three running plays gained Medford only six yards. Quart erback Brauner was forced to kick on fourth down. But the Infraction was tooted against the Comets and 15 yards stepped off gave the Tornado a first down on its 46-yard line. Medford pushed on from there to the goal. Halfback Reich went off tac kle for 20 yards. Crater was penalized five yards for offside. A keep and pitch, Brauner to Reich, gained 13 to the 17-yard Crater line. Fullback Gee made four more and Halfoack Lyons slanted over the right side of the line for the 13 to the end zone. Passes Score A 30-yard pass play, Lyons to Brauner, picked up another touchdown and Brauner heaved to Reich for 22 yards and an other TD in the first quarter. In the second quarter Gee poked the last foot for a score after his 24-yard ramble had set up the touchdown. In the closing por tion of the panel Medford Quar terback Jim Clark intercepted an aerial by Crater Quarter Wayne Allen and with his neat lateral to Fullback Larry Brown the 32-yard runback got Med fords fifth TD. The Comets cracked the first line defenses of the Tornado for a touchdown in the third quart er, shoving 40 yards and with Allen sneaking the last one foot. Crater went 69 yards to tally In the fourth canto with Allen sneaking the last yard. Medford stormed back when Dick Duran te ran the kick-off back 72 yards to the Comet seven. Gee piled EXTRA SPECIAL PRICE o LOOKER BEEF E HIND QUARTERS MS Cut and Wrapped NORTHERN STAMPS JIM'S MEATS 838 W. McAndrews Phone SP 3-1666 over the right side of the line to the end zone. Guard Tom Merton, kicking conversions in place of sickness sidelined Tackle Mike Murray, booted four points after touch downs for Medford. Halfback Bob Fowler went over on a pitchout for one Crater bonus point. Allen hurled to End Jerry Kime for the other. Left Halfs Out Among the Tornado gridders out of action because of illness were left halfbacks Johnny Jones and Skip Bennett. Lyons saw duty at the post after hav ing missed drills since last Mon day. Gee sparked the Medford of fense with 127 yards gained, in cluding 24 and 38-yard gallops and was the workhorse with 14 carries. Reich had 95 yards from rushing on 10 packs and had 20, 13, 22 and 18-yard efforts. He broke loose for 55 yards on a punt return. Lyons gained 59. Main toters for the Comets were Fullback Kerman Bennett, 37, Halfback Allen Barnes, 33, and Fowler, 31. Barnes and Fowler were the heavy duty tacklers of the night, credited with 11 and 10 stops, respectively. Bennett was .in on eight halts of Tornado ball car riers. Tackle Gary Winetrout was the stopper of Comets oh seven occasions, according to the records. The tackles by Medford players were pretty well divid ed. Medford domination of the first half was shown by the 256 yards in rushing and passing it accumulated while holding Cra ter to a net of 35 yards. The Comets had the yardage edge of 158 to 148 in the second half. The Central Pointers piled up some of it against top Medford defenders but the 69-yard march against Tornado non - regulars helped up the total. Exchange of Fumbles First down margin for the Tornado in the first half was 10 to 4. Second Medford TD fol lowed an exchange of fumbles. Tackle Tom Morris was instru mental in causing a Crater muff and Linebacker Jim Funston fell on the ball. Tackle Jim Golden penny recovered a Medford fum ble for the Comets. Medford held Crater to a net loss of two yards on three down and Allen punted to midfield. Lyons scooted back to the Crater 38 to get the scor ing punch going. Gee went nine to the 29 and Reich six to the 23. Brauner lost ground and offside put Medford back to the 30. After one incom plete toss by Brauner, Lyons connected with the quarterback for the TD. Reich returned an Allen punt from the Tornado 23 to the Comet 22 and set up touchdown No. 3. Brauner hit Reich for the score on the next play. Bennett kept Reich from going all the way on the punt runback. The Medfordite sprang loose for the run when a would-be Crater tackier slipped on the turf. A 33-yard pass play, Lyons to Reich, was the big gainer on a 70-yard Medlord promenade to its fourth touchdown. That put the ball on the 24. Gee went from that spot to the one-foot ond quarter. Gee was Medford's top ground gainer against the Comets and crossed the goal twice. Brauner caught one touch- down pass and threw another. The Tornado built up a 34 to 0 halftime margin and won 40 to 14. spot and crossed to pay dirt on the next play. Interception Stops Drive Crater's best attack of the first half carried it from its own 16 to the Medford 40 in the second quarter. Brown's pass intercep tion put a stop to the threat. The Tornado went from its own 19 to the Comet 36 but Bennett Snagged a Reich toss to give Crater the ball on its 15. That set the stage for Clark's inter ception and lateral to Brown for the scoring runback. Allen's interception of a Brau ner throw gave the Comets their chance in the third quarter. With the ball on the Medford 40, Ben nett got loose to the 22. Fowler made two and Bennett eight to the 12 and three to the nine. Medford offside put the ball on the four. Barnes and Bennett made a yard each and Fowler got down to the one-foot mark and Allen dove into the end zone. A 45-yard pass play, Allen to Kime, covered most of the dis tance in Crater's last quarter as sault. It put the ball on the 24. Halfback Jim E 1 d r e d packed twice for three-yards each and Allen passed to Kime again to make 13 yards to the five. Barn es lost to the seven. Fowler went six to the one and Allen kept on a spread play for the score. Sharpness Amazes Medford mixed a predomin ately T formation attack with single wing and pass plays in gaining the triumph. Victory brougnf considerable pleasure to Coach Fred Spiegel berg who was "amazed at how sharp they were." He declared that the Tornado first half de fense was "terrific." The loss by such a margin was naturally disappointing to the Comets who had fully expected to make a tougher game of it. "We can play better ball than that. We're better than we show ed," Coach Leonard Warren re marked. He added that, when Medford caught fire, there was no stopping it. Forty-three Medford players and 26 Crater gridmen got into the game.

It May Be A Long, SPORTS Ike Logart Nabs Bout Detroit OP Cuban Isaac Lo gart today looked forward to a spot in the eliminations for the vacant welterweight title aft er easily disposing' of "one armed" Joe Miceli here Friday night. "The fight went just the way we planned it," the No. 2 rank ed contender said. "I didn't have any trouble with him." Miceli did have Logart in trouble, however, in the second round of their 10-round nationally-televised bout. The 28-year-old New Yorker drove Logart against the ropes with a furious combination of short lefts and rights. Logart covered up expertly after the barrage, rode out the brief storm, and didn't let Miceli get another such golden oppor tunity. Miceli further was ham pered by his own right arm. "I just don't have any power in it," he said. It was conspicu ous by its absence. He had to use his left like a hammer but the blows showed no effect on Logart. Three Juvenile Pheasant Hunts Remain in Month Portland Young hunters opened the juvenile pheasant shoot on the E. E. Wilson game management area with a bang last Saturday and Sunday, and all agreed they had a whale of a time with plenty of shooting and they got birds too. Saturday saw 54 youngsters check into the shooting area, bang away with eager enthusi asm all day, and come away with 73 beautiful pheasant roos ters. Success for the first day's shoot was almost a bird and a half per hunter. On Sunday it rained all day, and the success was again good considering the weather. The rain did not dampen the spirits of the 44 young neophytes who checked in and took 31 birds during the day's hunt. The juvenile pheasant shoot on the E. E. Wilson game man agement area will run for three more week ends, Oct. 12, and 13, 19 and 20 and 26 and 27. The hunt is restricted to young sters from 14 to 17 years of age who must be accompanied by licensed adults over 25 years of age. Adults will not bear arms but will be responsible for the conduct of their charges. A maximum of 50 permits will be issued each day.
