Tornado Spirit High In Work for GP Mix Injuries to a number of play ers may hamper the cause of the Black Tornado Friday' night when it tussles the Grants Pass Cavemen for the District 6 A-l championship but that prospect has not deterred the enthusiasm of the Medford high football squad in its drills. "Spirit is good," Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg reported after a "real good practice" yesterday. He added, "The players realize they have a job cut out for them." The Tornado held a scrimmage last night and the head mentor allowed that the club "looked fairly good." There has been work on both Individual and team defensive this week. A particular aim of the Tornado is to halt the high ly rated Grants Pass aerial of fensive. That attack is not just Jim Smith to Mike Sparlin. Smith of the Cavemen has cap able receivers in Paul Lndquist and Mike Rose, as well. At the same time the GP running as sault demands attention since it has become more a threat as the season has progressed. Corum To Mist ,In the matter of injuries Cuard Dick Corum, Center Den nis Barr, Halfbacks Ron Reich, Gerry Lyons and Calvin Dean, Fullback Bob Gee and Quarter back Jim Clark figure in the Tornado tale of woe. Spiegelberg indicated that Corum and Barr will be missing from the squad for the Friday crucial. Corum has been slde lined with a head injury suf fered in the Eureka game. Barr was also absent from the Ash land fray because of a broken nose suffered in practice. Reich sprained an ankle in the Ashland game and missed the second half. He was still hobbling as he "ran a little bit" in Monday and Tuesday drills. Gee is still favoring the ankle he turned early in the Eureka mix. Lyons has a sore back and a back ailment and flu put Dean on the shelf. Clark has been troubled with a knee cartilage ailment for some time. Lousy Shape Spiegelberg termed the physi cal shape of the Tornado "lousy," saying that the injur ies were more detrimental than sickness. Corum has been the regular left guard. To bolster the posi tion offensively Frank Albert has been shifted from tackle. Others at the spot are Don Mann, out with flu last week, George Ice and Keith Berg. As for defensive strengthening, Spiegelberg said that the coaches were still experimenting. Dick Durante has seen most of the right half service behind Reich. Coaches have liked what they've seen of John Harvey at the spot but he only recently re turned to the squad after being out of action with a collarbone fracture. At left half John Jones has generally started and shared duties with Lyons and Skip Ben nett. Gee has had the call most at fullback but Larry Brown has done some capable work there and is ready to go at the spot. Reich Leads Gainers Statistics just tabulated show Reich as top gainer for the Black Tornado in total yardage so far this season while Lyons has the top per carry average. Reich has packed 49 times for 372 yards or 7.59 yards a game. Lyons has 29 carries for 222 yards and 7.65 average.

Tips Ashland Hedrick Junior High school eighth grade gridmen went to Ashland yesterday prepared for a practice scrimmage. They end ed up playing a - regulation game and, taking advantage of the breaks, rallied to win 16 to 12. The Ashlanders got two touch downs and just came close on two other scoring chances be fore the Hornets picked up points.

(IP) Presi dents of the nine Pacific Coast conference schools have been called to a special meeting in San Francisco Sunday to discuss problems threatening to break up the loop. President Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of Cali fornia called the meeting "at the request of several presidents who wanted clarification on the UC board of regents' five-point policy enunciated last June." The regents' policy set mini mum standards of scholarship for athletes and defined the lim its of aid that might be given them. May Take Advantage It also gave UCLA and Cali fornia a free choice of schedul ing football games after the 1957 season. Within the past few weeks, both schools have indi-; cated they may take advantage of this freedom. A Los Angeles report hinted that Idaho might be asked to drop out of the conference. In Moscow, University of Idaho President Dr. D. R. Theo philus said he would not attend Sunday's meeting because of a prior commitment. A university spokesman declined to comment on the report that Idaho might be asked to withdraw from the conference. If Idaho should withdraw it would equalize the power of the Northwest, which now has five votes to California's four in conference policy. the lightest County Fafc ever distilled!
