TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Tornado Turned Loose in Drill For Friday Fray With Ashland Medford High Black Tornado forces, girding for the Southern Oregon conference football clash here Friday evening with the Ashland Grizzlies, were "turned loose a little bit" in a scrimmage yesterday afternoon and Head Coach Spiegelberg reported a "good defensive workout." Coaches divided up the squad into about equal crews. Spiegel berg said that neither club crossed the other's goal. An objective of the coaches at this stage of the season is to keep the players healthy. There is some hindrance from mostly minor ailments. But the Tornado gridders were "champing at the bit" and had the opportunity yesterday to let off some of the built up steam. Spiegelberg termed his squad "pretty enthusiastic," saying that the players showed "good hustle and good spirit." Grizzlies To Try Game time is 8:15 p.m. at the senior high stadium. Medford is looking for a third straight win in the circuit while Ashland seeks a second decision after losing to Grants Pass and beat ing Crater. The Tornado carries a 4-2 record into the contest and Ashland is 4-3. At Ashland Coach .Al Simp son said today that his Grizzlies are prepared to "give it the old college try." He indicated that the team is in near top shape after being "down" with sick ness and other ailments since the Lakeview game played in bitter weather. "This week there'll be no excuse," Simpson said. The Grizzly mentor stated that most of the time this week work has been on defense. Last night the line was scrimmaged against Medford plays. The Tor nado attack to the weak side got particular attention. Simp son said that the Grizzlies have had a lot more heavy work than they should have at this time of the season but "have had to do it." End Steve Gray, who hurt his shoulder in the Medford-Ash-land junior varsity ruckus, and Back Jerry Stubblefield, who has had leg trouble all year, are the Grizzlies' hobbled players. Halfback Al South has recuper ated from an arm dislocation. Possible Ashland starters are Jim Matteson and Kip Lombard, ends; Frank Conley and Mike Kearns, tackles; Gerald Troxell and Larry Glines, guards: Hank Hampton, center; Pat or Don Simpson, quarterback; South, left halfback; Stubblefield or Bill Maurer, right halfback, and Al McKinnis or Wayne Collum, fullback. For Medford on offense it may be Mike Russell and Tom Ham lin, ends; Tom Morris and Dick Sorenson or Frank Albert, tackles; Tom Merton and Die Corum, guards; Jim Funston, center; Tony Brauner, quarter back; John Jones or Gerry Lyons, left half; Ron Reigh, right half, and Bob Gee, fullback. Larry Brown and Jim Clark may have backfield berths on defense.

A capacity crowd of 101.001 is expected at Ann Arbor, Mich., for the "pick 'em" game between unbeaten Iowa, ranked third by the United Press Board of Coaches, and 12th-ranked Mich igan. The game also will be tele vized nationally by NBC. Fifth-ranked Notre Dame, also unbeaten, is a five-point favorite over Navy, tied for 13th in the ratings before 58,622 at South Bend, Ind. Sooners Big Favorites Oklahoma, still shaking from a near loss to Colorado last week is a 30-point favorite over Kan sas State. The sixth-ranked Texas Ag gies, who share the Southwest conference lead with Texas, rate six points over potent Arkansas. Ohio State, tied with Iowa atop the Big Ten, is a 14-point choice over winless Northwestern. Im proving Stanford is favored by one point over Oregon, the only team without a loss in Pacific Coast conference play. Iowa, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Texas A&M are four of the six national powers still unbeat en and untied. Of the others, Auburn is favored by eight points over Florida and Dart mouth by three over Yale. In the only big games Friday night, Miami of Florida rates 15 points, over Villanova and Boston University six over George Washington.

(IP) The Stanford Indians rummaged through their bag of tricks be hind closed doors Wednesday and Coach Chuck Taylor groped for a couple of surprises to use against the University of Oregon Saturday.

UO, Indians Contend in Showdown Eugene, Ore. UPt Coach Len Casanova is still stressing de fense to his University of Ore gon Ducks as they- prepare for Saturday's game against Stan ford although the Webfoots have allowed only 31 points in six games. Casanova pointed out that the Indians have both a good run ning and good passing attack, and Wednesday's efforts were about equally divided on aerial and ground defense. Euzene Oregon's VC.C. load-1 ing Webfoots put their unbeaten conference record on the , line at Palo Alto Saturday against Stanford's elusive Indians, and the showdown clash is certain to establish the favorite for further grid laurels in 1957. The Ducks, winner of four straight counting tests, thus get their third "crucial" in three weeks, after downing Washing ton State 14-13 and California at Hayward field 24-6 last Satur day. And there are few doubts among the Webfoot coaching staff that Stanford is tough. '"This will be our toughest game of the season," Head Coach Len Casanova said, "and Stan ford will be the best team we will have faced all fall." The Indians of Chuck Taylor beat UCLA 20-6 last week end, and have been beaten only once in three PCC starts. The Ducks should be free of injuries for the Saturday scrap with only a trio of players rest ing from bruises suffered against the Bears. Leroy Phelps, a second-unit halfback, has a minor shoulder injury and will be the only doubtful participant, while Jim Linden, with a bruised leg, and Sandy Fraser, handicapped with a sore shoulder, should be cured. Shanley Leads Jim Shanley, the Ducks all everything from North Bend, still leads the Webfoot rushing attack. The Webfoot right half back added 71 yards on the ground against California to up his total to 467 net yards. Jack Morris is next with 270. Shanley also leads the squad in scoring, with six touchdowns for 36 points, punt returns and kickoff returns, and is second in pass receptions. He has caught five passes for 96 yards and three touchdowns, while end Ron Stover heads the squad with 13 catches for 153 yards. As a team, the Ducks have shown superiority over their op ponents in virtually every de partment. They have rushed for 1339 yards, passed for 394 yards and have racked up 95 first downs. Six opponents have 796 yards on the ground, 586 by pass ing and 77 first downs. OSC Rook Squad Picked for Mix With UO Frosh Corvallis 'TP A 33-man traveling squad was named to day for the Oregon State Rooks and their "Myrtle Bowl" game North Bend Saturday night. Coach John Thomas indicated he would open with a starting backfield of Bob Farrell, Sacra mento; Roger Johnson, Coos Bay; Amos Marsh, Wallowa; and Jack Knight, Santa Cruz, Calif. Tackle Neil Plumley and Cen ter Dick McLaughlin, both from Medford. are on the OSC Rook travel roster. St. Mary's Homecoming On Saturday St. Mary's football game with Chiloquin here Saturday night will be a homecoming attraction for alumni of the Medford paro chial school. A District 5B fracas, it is set for 8 p.m. A rally fire is planned Friday j night at 2660 Crater Lake ave. Homecoming queen will be crowned at that time. Candi dates, all seniors, are Judy Paup, Carol Robinson, Gena Sechler, Peggy Schnack and Kathy Metz. A secret ballot will be used to determine the queen. Coach Bill McKibbin reported that sickness, injury and ineligi bility have cut down the forces of the Crusaders. Turnouts have been small. He stated that four or five gridders will not be able to play this week because of oraHec o , Quarterback Terry Cooper, who suffered a concussioa in previous action, received a simi lar head blow in the Bonanza game last Friday and may not be available for the Chiloquin game. If he is not on hand, the quarterback duties are to be di vided between Bob Evans and Roger Hout. In other B circuit scraps Tal-1 ent is host to Bonanza on Friday, Jacksonville meets Sacred. Heart at Klamath Falls on Saturday night and Malin contends at Mer rill. By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Clock or the Medford high football scoreboard may be working again this week end. The trouble has been found Gophers. The animals, Coach Fred Spiegelberg reported, chewed through the cable, cut ting through one wire which shorted out when wet weather soaked the ground. Repairs to the clock having failed, decision was made to dig up the cable which extends un derground from the grandstand around the edge of the field to the scoreboard. The trouble was found about 30 feet from the board. Could be that Timekeeper Jer ry Jerome will be back in his press box perch on Friday night for the Ashland-Medford high tangle after a couple of times at his old practice of following the game on the field. BOVINE BOOT It's a well-known fact that not all injuries to football players occur on thr field. It's not too often, however, that a gridder is disabled the way Gary Legler of the Crater high Cornels was. He was kicked by a cow on the knee. The in jury kept Legler, a real good tackling defensive halfback, from seeing action last Friday against Ashland. DOUGLAS GHAMP Douglas of Winston . is the champ of District 6 A-2 northern division and likely , will oppose Glendale from the southern sec tor for the full district mantle and a quarter-finals berth in state run-offs. Coach Russ Hawk called the other day asking about possibility of a game this week end with a team in this area. The Trojans' game with Glide was cancelled because of sickness on the Glide squad. Douglas has lost only to Rose burg this fall and has a 6-1 mark. It is 3-0 for the subdistrict in actual games played and is "in" even without meeting Glide since the major rivals, Sutherlin and Myrtle Creek, have been eliminated by a loss and a ti,e. Glendale is expected to get the southern division play-off bid even if it should lose to Brook ings Friday and tie with Phoe nix in the final standings. Glen dale beat Phoenix last week. Weed, Calif., is another school seeking a game. Princi pel Jerry Kubli said his school wants a contest on Nov. 8 to round out the season. Weed is unbeaten in seven games and meets Yreka this Friday in the Siskiyou County league de cider. This fact upsets the dope of early season in which Mt. Shasta was rated the team to beat. Weed has a victory in Oregon over Lakeview while both Ashland and Crater of the Beaver state have trimmed Yreka. ATHLETIC CHAIRMAN Dan Christensen, son of Mr. H. D. Christensen. 29 Richmond ave., was recently elected ath letic chairman of Sheldon hall, men's dormitory at University of Oregon. Christensen is a fresh man, majoring in business ad ministration. FINKS TAKES OVER Calgary, Alta., HP Bob Masterson has resigned as gen eral manager of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football league and will be re placed by assistant coach Jim Finks. Masterson joined the Stampeders last season. Finks played with the Pittsburgh ! Steelers for six seasons. i Fanfare West Coast Sports Writer Picks Stanford Over Ducks By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Diego, Calif. (IP) Pa cific pigskin picks: Stanford over Oregon: Coach Chuck Taylor has a pass-run op tion roll-out play working to per fection for quarterback Jackie Douglas. Unless Len Casanova of the Webfoots can come up with a defense for this, the Duck is dead. By seven. UCLA over California: Bruins should be recovered from the flu and strong enough to score once or twice on the big broth ers. That should be sufficient, be cause it is doubtful that the Gold en Bears will get near the goal line. By one. Idaho over Montana: The Van dals get into their own class and get their most convincing win of the year. By 28. Washington State over Ore gon State: What ever happened in Beaverville? Coach Tommy Prothro's bubble has burst wide open. With no place for OSC to go, and the Cougars and quarter back Bob Newman still hoping for the Rose Bowl, this will be a real toughie. By one. The Nobodies Washington over Southern California: Remember when they were called the colossus of the Last Chance for Shooting Upl and Birds Portland Upland bird hunt ers will have their last chance at pheasants, quail and partridge this week end. The Oregon game commission reminded the scat tergun artists that the season on these birds will close Monday, November 4. On the west side of the Cas cades, only pheasants may be taken, while on the east side hunters may take valley, moun tain, and bobwhite quail along with Hungarian and chukar part ridge and ring-necked pheasant. Valley quail may be taken in Jackson and Josephine counties, the only counties open for these birds on the west side. Good results on upland bird shooting have been reported from most sections of the state. The last week end promises well, especially for those hunt ers using dogs to flush the birds from, the heavy cover.' The weekly report on hunting and fishing conditions prepared by the game commission: Southwest: Fishing Salmon fishing on Umpqua fair to poor: silver an gling in Sawyers Rapids area of Umpqua fair to good: no steelhead yet. there; few silver and jacks taken in Tenmile creek and lake but an gling slow, Coquille river fair for sal mon above Norway; salmon fishing may be fair on Chetco and Sixes riv ers; good run of steelhead started in Galice to ' Robertson bridge area but fishing slow.

"Your Ford 634 North Central Shock Guides Fish Around Snake Dam By RAY ANDREWS Baker. Ore. UP) Salmon and steelhead swimming up the Snake River are getting an elec trical hotfoot. It's quite a shock after a peace ful 500-mile journey up the Co lumbia and Snake but it gets them past a man-made barrier they cannot breach. The site of the "hotfoot" is at the Brownlee dam on the Snake about 60 miles east of here. Here, the Brownlee is already inching towards its maximum height of 396 feet as construc tion .workers toil around the clock. To build the earth filled dam, engineers diverted the Snake from its bed and funneled it through a 30-foot wide diver sionary tunnel. At this point, the Snake is about 125 feet wide and flows north. Crammed into the 30-foot tunnel, it's like a woman wearing a tight girdle and produces a current that even the powerful king salmon cannot swim. He can try but will be beaten back until he dies. Hotfoot Takes Over Here's where . the "hotfoot" takes over. Some distance from the tunnel an array of electrodes has been placed across 100 feet of the river. It produces 200 volts around the clock and throws out an electrical field of about 10 feet. The remaining 25 feet of the river does not have this barrier. Spawners coming upstream bump into the field of electrodes. They may try to pierce it but will get knocked colder than a mackerel. Carried downstream, they quickly revive and come back for another try. Eventually even a fish gets enough of this sort of thing and begins looking for some easier way. Ultimately, it finds the 25 foot gap and resumes it journey. But more surprises are in store. The gap leads over a fin ger trap into a larger fish trap. Here the fish are collected and a giant hopper lifts them into a tanker truck which carries thejn three miles around the dam con struction. There they are released to con- tinue their spawning runs ap- i narpnllv with nnlv thpir Hiffnitv i T impaired. On the peak day during the fall run, 1,003 chinook salmon and 137 steelhead were re-routed by the electrical barrier. At last count about 12,000 fish had made it safely to the upper Snake. 0 0 0 GIT SHORE Sensational savings can be yours if you act now!

Lane, for sometime the No. 1 challenger for Joe Brown's light weight crown, won recognition, in Illinois at least, as the No. 1 contender for the defunct jun ior welterweight title Wednes day, night with a unanimous 10 round decision over the 8th ranked lightweight, Cuban Or lando Zulueta. Lane scored his 49th win in 54 pro bouts and ran his winning streak to 16. Second Time It was ' the second time Lane has beaten Zulueta and the vic tory brought him within one of his longest winning streaks as a pro fighter. He won his first 17 bouts after quitting amateur competition and later won 14 straight before he lost to Tony DeMarco nearly two years ago, his last defeat. It was Zulueta's 30th loss in 105 bouts and his fourth defeat in his last five outings. The Illinois commission de cided before the fight to recog nize the victor as the No. 1 con tender in the junior welter weight class. 140 pounds, in an effort to stimulate boxing.
