Broadway oddsrnakers. should
defeat Kansas by at least 34
points in their Bis Eight confer
ence tussle at Norman, Okla.
The Sooners' spread over Kan
sas is the largest on the weekend
slate, but it could be an "un
derlay" for one important rea
son: Bud Wilkinson's boys, un
beaten in their last 43 games,
are not too happy about sur
rendering their No. 1 rating to
Michigan State, so they probab
ly will open all cylinders against
Kansas.

McLoughlin
Ninth Beats
Grants Pass
Flu-ridden McLoughlin Junior
ninth grade football squad
trounced a larger aggregation of
Grants Fass Cavekids 26 to 12
at Grants Pass yesterday.
The tussle was the make-up
for the fracas postponed Friday
because of sickness among
Grants Pass players.
Starting line-up of the Bull
dogs was minus several stal
warts, Tackle Richard Connolly,
Center Chuck Shaw, End Jerry
Winetrout and Tackle Phil
Baird. While Baird saw some
action late in the game, the other
three were not in uniform.
Al Funston rambled 12 yards
to score in the first quarter after
jarring line play and a hard
tackle resulted in a Grants Pass
fumble. Funston also ran over
the extra point. Terry Coulter
blocked a punt to set up the sec
ond TD. Dennis Bauman raced
around end, gaining 20 yards be
fore being forced out of bounds
on the one-yard line. Dick Rags
dale smashed across the goal.
Funston again plunged for the
extra.
Cave Kids Score
Grants Pass went over for a
second panel touchdown after a
fumble recovery on the Mc
Loughlin 18. The Cavekids got
their other counter in the fourth
quarter on a deep delayed re
verse. Twenty-yards were cov
ered on the play.
Bauman romped 49 yards for
th tierd Bulldog TD. At the tail
end of the third quarter Phil
Humphreys, recent victim of the
"popular" m a 1 a d y flu, of
course, cut loose off tackle for
69 yards to put the ball on the
five-yard line. Two plays later
he reached the end zone for six
points.
In the line for the Bulldogs,
replacement John Fontaine
played a bang up game as did
Al Minnick, Bill Hobbs, Larry
Hammack, Jim Osborne and Bob
Rix. Fine tackling was done by
Terry Earl and Funston. Crisp
blocking by the Bulldogs was
observed.
McLoughlin plays the Klam
ath Falls Frosh at 3:30 p.m. here
Friday.

BRAVES DROP TEAM

champion Milwaukee Braves
have dropped their Evansville
franchise in the Three I league
in favor of a working agreement
with another team in the Class
B circuit. Braves General Man
ager John Quinn blamed a drop
in attendance for Milwaukee's
action.
Tornado Grid
Gang Said in
Better Shape
Medford high's football squad,
hit roughly by the flu bug last
week, appears to be in better
shape physically this week as it
readies for a Friday trip to
Klamath Falls.
Coach Fred Spiegelberg re
ported that Backs John Jones,
Jim Clark and Fred Funston
had missed drills so far this
week. It was thought that Jones
would return to the squad today.
He missed the Friday hassle
with Crater.
The mentor ventured this
morning that the Black Tornado
has a chance to beat its long
standing jinx aT Klamath but he
quickly added that the Medford
club would have to be "up" for
the game. Medford has not won
a contest with te Pelicans on Mo
doc field since 1945.
Similar Offense
Klamath, wich as had a long
siege with flu and colds, almost
every squad member being
stricken, is reported over that
trouble and may be physically
stronger against the Tornado
than it has been for several
games.
The Pelicans, under new
Coach Andy Knudsen, employ
an offense similar to Medford's.
They use an unbalanced line
with both T and single wing,
plays. Klamath could pass . more
than Medford on Friday with
Frank Ballard and Dick Humph
rey doing most of the throwing.
The KF club reported does not
pack a lot of weight but it has
a 210-pound lineman in Bill
Montgomery and a 180-pound
fullback in Bill Shreeve.
Medford worked on defenses
last night and ran its offense in
a dummy scrimmage. Spiegel
berg reported that, if contact
scrimmage is held this afternoon,
it will be a short one. Squad
members just got lots of run
ning on Monday. They did not
even put on their pads.
