They realize full well that they'll have a man-sized job on their hands. Grants Pass and the Black Tornado collide on the Medford stadium turf next Friday with the outcome to determine which of the two goes on into play off quarter-finals for the Oregon Class A-l crown. The Tornado overcame the upset bid of blazed up Ashland Grizzlies 15 to 6 here Friday Reserve seat tickets for tha Medford-Granls Pass high foot ball game here next Friday.. . will go on sale at 7 a.m. Mon day at the senior high school office. Principal Lester Harris slated that sales will be limit ed to four tickets to a person. night to knot with the Cavemen of Grants Pass in the confer ence and district standings. Each has three victories and un blemished in the dual circuit. Pressed all the way in gaining the nod over Ashland, the Med fordites were paced by the run ning of Halfbacks Johnny Jones and Skip Bennett and Fullback Bob Gee and by the defensive leadership of Center and Line backer Jim Funston in overcom ing the Grizzlies. Got Tough Game Fans expecting to see a Tor nado walkaway were jolted in the early moments to acknowl edge that Medford had an angry Bruin on its hands and the possibility that Ashland might calm the Big Wind lingered even after the home club had established its final margin. The passing threat of the Simpson brothers, Pat and Don, the deceptive delayed and quickie running game ipurred by Fullback Al McKinnis and the defensive stubborness of the Grizzlies, particularly Backs Wayne Collum and McKinins and Center Hank Hampton, meant a rugged night for the Black Tornado. "We wanted a tough game and we got it," Medford Coach Fred Spiegelberg declared yes terday. First quarter of the game was scoreless. Medford finally reach ed the pay zone in the second stanza in a seven-yard weak side jaunt by Halfback Gerry Lyons and Tackle Mike Murray kicked the conversion. Ashland countered seconds before the halftime horn on a 21-yard pass play, Pat Simpson to McKinnis. Halfback Jerry Stubblefield's extra point thump was wide. Funston Blocks Funston blocked . a Grizzly punt by Halfback Bill Maurer in the end zone for two Medford points on a sifety as time faded out in the third quarter. That made the score 9 to 6. The Tornado then marched to a fourth quarter goal after the Ashland kick-off with Bennett covering the last 14 yards slant ing over right tackle. Murray's boot this time was wide. Coach Fred Spiegelberg and his staff made considerable use of reserves during the night. That in itself could be reason for no Tornado runaway. But the fired up performance of the Grizzlies couldn't be discounted and a good share of the sub-i stituting was to find a combina tion to restrain the ambitious Grizzlies. Medford first capitalized on a scoring opportunity after a punt by Quarterback Tony Brauner of the Tornado gave Ashland ball on its 12 yard line. Funston spilled Pat Simpson for a four-yard loss and1 End Tom Hamlin and Tackle Tom Morris dumped Stubblefield for a set back to the four-yard line. Maurer punted out to the 22 and Fullback Larry Brown of Medford got back to the 18.' Funmbles Aid Ashland Brown then rammed for gains of five and six yards to the seven and Lyons went tha rest of the way.

Plays gained to the 20 but lost to the 14 and Jones fumbled the ball on the 116. Hampton recovered for the Grizzlies. Don Simpson hurled to Steve Gray in the end zone but a proceedure penalyt nullified a score. A Pat Simpson throw to Gray failed. On a third try Pat heaved to McKinnis who burst through a couple of Tornado de fenders, snared -the ball and crossed for a counter. The Tornado pretty well dominated the third quarter but collected only the two points on an Ashland safety. A drive with 15 plays and four first downs took Medford to the Ash land six. The Grizzlies took over and McKinnis gained to the 17. A delay of game infraction put Ashland back on the 12. McKin nis got to the 113 but Gray lost to the four on an end around. The blocked punt fol lowed. Drive From 37 Ashland kicked off from its 20 and Gee ran the ball back to the Grizzly 3.7. Four tries put the ball on the 14 for the tabu lating maneuver by Bennett. A run by Brauner and lateral to Halfback Dick Duante picked up 12 yards. The Grizzlies moved from their own 36 to the Medford 32 in the fourth quarter and Med ford march back to the Ashland 35. Brauner punted out of bounds to the Lithian 19. A pass attempt by Pat Simpson was smeared when Guard Heath caught the Ashlander on the 12. From there the Lithians gained to midfield where Medford 1 got the ball on downs and held on as time ran out. Success in the early portion of the game was a tonic to the Grizzly moral. Medford, how ever, came close to a touchdown fracas into a route. Ashland had the ball on its 27. A Pat Simpson aerial was intercepted by Medford Back Jim Clark. He battled toward the goal but lost the ball in a final big effort to reach the end zone. McKinnis fell on the ball for Ashland inches from the pay-off stripe. The Grizzlies were whistled for illegal procedure on the play. Medford accepted the pen alty and the ball was put in play on the 24. Statistics showed Collum in on some 25 stops for Ashland while McKinnis was listed for 11 and Hampton nine. Funston was in on around 20 tackles or pass bust ups for the Tornado, teaming on occasions with Mor ris. McKinnis was the evenings to gainer from scrimmage with 79 yard. Jones packed for 48 yards for Medford and Bennett and Gee each for 44. Players Sidelined Dick Corum, a starting guard for Medford, did not play Fri day because of doctor's orders, He suffered a blow on the head in the Eureka game. Don Mann, another guard, was missing be cause of flu and Dennis Barr, a center, because of a broken nose suffered in practice. Tornado Halfback Ron Reich was out of action in the second half because of an ankle injury in the second period. Gee was. hobbled by an ankle injury from the Eureka game and Lyons by a sore back. Threat of the Ashland pass ing attack through the mix in dicated to the Tornado that it will have to spend much time this week girding its defense against aerials. Passing is the forte of the Grants Pass team. Grants Pass recently licked Ashland 41 to 6. STATISTICS: Med.
