Tornado, Tonight At Klamath Falls "They're all set and eager to go," Coach Fred Spiegelberg re ported today as the Black Tor nado of Medford high prepared to go over the hump for this eve ning's football game with the Klamath Falls Pelicans. Klamath fortunes have not been too bright this fall and it's felt that, if the Tornado is to bust the Modoc field jinx, this is the year. Three of the Pelican losses have been to top-ranked Oregon schools, however, and there's the feeling that, if the club can learn by playing the "best," Klamath certainly should have profited by this time. Just how much the Pels have picked up and just how much they hdve been hampered by the flu bug will, of course, be re vealed this evening as Medford tries to gain a victory for the lirst time since 1945 on the Klamath turf. The Pels seem to have an un canny ability to protect their hex on the Tornado. There have been other seasons when the Medford club has been the fa vorite and even had a lead on the Klamath team only to have the Modoc field homesters rise up and beat or tie the Tornado aggregation. Medford's crew, itself, has had a battle with illnesses but appeared this morning to be al most intact. At the left halfback Gerry Lyons is expected to start rather than John Jones, who opened at the spot in the first three games this season but was out because of flu for the Crater game last week. Lyons, just recovering from similar ill ness took over at the berth. Jones should see duty. At the ether places In the backfield it will be Tony Brau ner, quarterback;' Ron Reich, right half, and Bob Gee, full back, as usual. Line probables are Mike Russell and Tom Ham lin, ends; Tom Morris and Dick Sorenson or Frank Albert, tackles; Tom Merton and Dick Corum, guards, and Jim Fun ston, center. Albert is over his ankle ailment but is faced with a stern battle with Sorenson at tackle. For defense Pete Rasmussen may replace Russell, Clark may go in for Reich and Brown may substitute for Gee. A sizable Medford delegation will make the Klamath trip. There will be five buses carry ing band, pep club and rally squad members and other stu dents. Most of the 150 reserved seat tickets sent here for public sale have been purchased. Roosevelt Victor Over Washington Roosevelt scored on a punt runback to defeat Washington 6 to 0 yesterday and preserve its unbeaten lead in the city grade school football circuit. Jackson nosed out Oak Grove 13 to 12. The Lincoln-Jefferson game was postponed because of sick nesi among Jefferson squad members. Saimme 6th & GRAPE MEDFORD WILCOX BH Truck THESE OLYMPIC PETROLEUM & EQUIPMENT CO. , DISTRIBUTOR OF SIGNAL OIL PRODUCTS AND LEE TIRES STOP IN SOON 6th & GRAPE MEDFORD Pol Elevens MedfordTribune Southern Oregon, OTI To Clash on Saturday Ashland Coach Al Akins, with most of his gridders back in harness, sought to perk up the Southern Oregon college pass offense yesterday as the Red Raiders had their next to last workout before meeting Oregon Tech in an Oregon, Col legiate conference conflict. The game will be Saturday at 8 p.m. at Fuller field on the Ashland school's campus. Action stacks up as crucial since the winner will be figured as hav ing the best chance of going on to the loop title. Both clubs are unbeaten in the loop with OTI having two victories and SOC one. A win for the Klamath Falls club could just about sew up the toga since it would have only one more league game to play. Along with working on the passing attack, the Raiders also labored at strengthening their defense. It's Coach Akins belief that if the Owl offense can be stopped, the SOC attack will be sufficient for a triumph over the Klamathites. Possible starters for the Red Raiders are Chuck Crandall and Cy Perkins, ends; Marion Jack and Herb Colley, tackles; Troy Bellah and Modesto Jiminez, guards; Phil Sword, center; Lance Locke, quarterback; Lee McGill, left half, Ron Brood, right half, and Ron Maurer, full back. Yesterday Akins had consid ered calling off the battle with OTI because of the inroads of flu among SOC players. But ap parently the Raiders are suffi ciently recovered to go ahead with the contest. However, regu lar tackle Chuck Romine was reported hospitalized by flu. Backs missing yesterday includ ed Gordon Owsley, Larry Yar- nell and Willie Jones. Norm Oliva, who has been lamed by a bum knee, should see quite a bit of service at end. George Juveland and Larry Maurer could have their share of action at halfbacks. Oregon Tech is reported to be at full strength with the excep tion of one tackle spot. Status of Odie Canada, Owl star back, however, is uncertain. There was a report that he had quit school. A check with the Klam ath Fall3 institution failed to verify the report. Teachers' salaries account for about three-fourths of all public expenditures for education in the U.S., according to national schooling reports.

Ducks Must Be Strong On Defense Lewiston, Idaho (IP) Oregon's football team, which meets Washington State in a crucial Pacific Coast Conference game at Pullman Saturday, worked out here today after an all-night train ride from Eugene. Coach Len Casanova said Oregon,-winner of three out of four games so far, would have to play an outstanding defensive game to defeat Washington State. "WSC has excellent passers . . . and the receivers are far above average," Casanova said. Bob Newman is the nation's sec ond leading passer and his un derstudy, Bunny Aldrich, also is rated high. The Oregon team is In good shape for the game with only lettermen end Bruce Brenn, who hasn't played this season, and reserve guard Larry Newsom, out with injuries. Both Oregon and Washington State have won two and lost none in PCC play. The winner will be the only team unbeaten in the PCC which is eligible for the Rose Bowl. CO. OF MEDFORD EH VE STATION WITH THE BIG GREEN STAMPS St. Mary's To Contend With Malin St. Mary's high of Medford goes back into action on the football field Saturday for its first football game in three weeks. The Crusaders play at Malin on Saturday afternoon in a Dist rict 5B encounter. Malin's Mustangs will be fa vorites. The Klamath county club struggled through its first couple of games when hit by the flu bug. It won the two games then another and, with sickness apparently shaken off, paces the circuit with three victories and no losses. Last weekend the Mus tangs loomed potent when they trimmed Class A-2 Lakeview 13 to 0. St. Mary's is practically intact this week after having to post pone its fray last Saturday with Jacksonville because of illnesses. The Crusaders on the previous week end were idle when the mix billed with Sacred Heart was called off because of flu at the Klamath Falls parochial establishment. Coach Bill McKibben of the Crusaders stated that Halfback Dick Hayes and Tackye Dennis are still on the sidelines. Hayes has a sprained back and Duggan is a flu victim. Ashland 8th Tops Hedrick Ashlend shellacked Hedrick of Medford 32 to 14 here yester day in an eighth grade football game. The Lithian club led 20 to 0, 20 to 7 and 26 to 14 at the inter missions. Scoring almost every time it got is hands on the ball, Ashland collected four of its five touchdowns on end runs. Hedrick offense moved well but its defense just couldn't con tain the visitors sufficiently. Dick Byrd passed to Mike McCullough for one Hedrick TD and sneaked over for the other. Byrd kicked one conversion and got the other on a toss to McCullough.- Paul Geren turned in some fine running for the Hor nets and set up the first touch down. McCullough ran the Ash land kick-off back 75 yards to pave the way for the other score. Byrd, playing quarterback for the first time, did a heads up job, handling and passing the ball well. Both he and McCul lough ran the Ashland kick-off back 75 yards to pave the way for the other score. Byrd, playing quarterback for the first time, did a heads up job, handling and passing the ball well.

KE 5-1285 Beavers Fly To LA Fray Corvallis HP) Coach Tommy Prothro's Oregon State football team flies to Los Angeles this afternoon for a Saturday date with UCLA in which the Bea vers will be favored to win their first game in the Los Angeles Coliseum since 1948. Oregon State, winner of four straight games this season, is the nation's seventh - ranked team. But it will run into a tough foe in UCLA which has lost only one game, 21-0 to Oregon. " A big question mark for Ore gon State is Ted Bates, the rugged right tackle who suffer ed an injured back against Idaho. Just how much he will be able to play Saturday wasn't known before the Beavers left. Republican Leader Urges Lower Taxes Despite Spending Washington OP) A Republi can congressional leader said Thursday taxes must be reduced next year despite additionad de dense spending which he said apparently will be necessary. The assertion came from Rep. Richard M. Simpson (Pa.), a high-ranking minority member of the House ways and means Committee, which initiates all tax legislation. Follows Nixon's Remark His assertion that a tax cut is "mandatory" next year came less than 48 hours after Vice President Richard M. Nixon threw cold water on hopes for early tax relief. Nixon said Monday that with Russia's satellite circling the earth the nation must regard its military strength as a matter of far greater importance than the "understandable desire" for tax relief. Simpson expressed his views in a speech prepared for the an nual meeting of the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce in -Chicago. A summary of his remarks was released here in advance. "We can and must cut taxes despite additional spending that will apparently be necessary in the Defense Department," Simp son said. Can Cut Other Spending Any boost in defense spend ing on other federal agencies not linked with the defense effort, he said and this would prevent any overall increase in spending. The Ways and Means Com mittee will start tax hearing Jan. 7, he said, and he will "insist" that a major tax reduc tion be considered at the hear ings. Committee Chair man Jere Cooper (D-Tenn.) has expressed hope the hearing will lead to some tax relief. Simpson's remarks indicated that even if the Eisenhower ad ministration strongly opposes tax relief he will push for a tax cut and try to pin blame on the Democratic Congress if no relief is forthcoming. Kasper To Start Federal Prison Term Washington (CI Segrega tionist John Kasper was in jail today awaiting transfer to a Fed eral prison to serve a one-year contempt sentence on charges : . a. t iu. 'i 1 i i Term., school integration riots ' last year. He was picked up by Wash ington police Thursday and held for the Justice Department after a federal Judge in Knoxville, Tenn., ordered his arrest. Kasper had been free on $10, 000 bond since he was convicted of criminal contempt and sen tenced to a year in prison in September, 1956. The Supreme Court Monday turned down Kasper's appeal or a rehearing of the case. The Sixth Circuit Court of Ap peals in Cincinnati officially no tified U.S. Attorney General John C. Crawford of the decision and the arrest order was issued. VANISHING EVIDENCE Tyler, Tex. (IP) William Whitus Pugh was free of charges of possessing unstamped whis key, today after the evidence evaporated. Prosecutors were preparing to try him when they found a five-gallon jug of home brewed corn liquor, the only evidence against him, was re duced to a dark brown residue in the bottom, of the jug. Pugh was released because of lack of evidence. Daily's U-Drlve Medford Airport JTlday, October 18, 1957 Celtics, Hawks Will Open Pro Cage Campaign New York HP) The Boston Celtics and the St. Louis Hawks will pick up where they left off last spring when they meet at St. Louis next Tuesday night in the opening game of the 1957-58 National Basketball association season. The Celtics captured the East ern Division pennant last season and then won their first world championship by defeating the Hawks, 125-123, in double over time in the seventh game of the final playoffs.

(IP) Fred Ha ney, baseball's best lineup jug gler in 1957 and prime candi date for manager of the year, talks over his 1958 contract with the Milwaukee Braves' front of fice Saturday. He'll undoubtedly get a raise for winning the World Series. The best guess at his earnings this year is about $35,000. A one-year contract will be offered him, in line with Braves policy under President Joseph Cairnes. Haney was on the hot seat all season in piloting the Braves to the National league pennant. It was generally conceded that the 58-year-old former skipper of the luckless St. Louis Browns and Pittsburgh Pirates, would have been out of a job had not the Braves come home first. Microwave Relay . Opened in Willamette Portland OP) A microwave relay system costing nearly $1 million was in service today re placing the old Trask mountain line which linked the Willamette valley with the Tillamook area for the past 51 years. Pacific Telephone & Tele graph Company said the new system was expected to provide a more efficient service. Three radio relay channels via Salem, Mt. Hebo and Tillamook and "carrier" systems between Port land and Salem provide 108 long-distance circuits, PT&T said. The old Trask mountain line was started in 1906 and provid ed the first direct telephone line from the Willamette valley to the coast.

"It's not for us," said Bob Maduro, president of the Cuban Sugar Kings. "We'll continue to play in Havana." General Manager Joe Ryan of Miami said Jersey City wasn't for his club either. "We are quite happy with Miami and would like to stay there," Ryan said. President Frank Shaughnessy ! of the International league claimed Jersey City where the Brooklyn Dodgers played seven of their "home" games this year when he notified National As sociation President George Trautman Thursday that one of his teams intended to operate there next season. Shaughnessy said the club that will move into Jersey City will be decided upon at the Major-Minor League meetings in Colorado Springs, Colo., during December but admitted Havana and Miami were strong candi dates. That, however, didn't seem to jibe with what officials from those two clubs had to say. In the first four months of 1948, according to the Department of Agri culture, over six million man-days were lost due to accidents on farms all because of carelessness. Therefore, be sure it's safe before you act. Riding two where only one belongs, leaving tools which become stumbling hazards, and taking un necessary chances with farm animals these are bat a few situations that cause serious accidents. Be careful every day the life yoa save may be your own. Hubbard-Wray Co., Inc.
