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.
Jones and Gee have been the

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.
Lithia city players were in
front at the half by 6 to 0 and
took a 12 to 0 bulge in the third
quarter. Hedrick came back to
drive deep into Ashland terri
tory only to have a pass inter
cepted. The interception back
fired when Norm Olson tackled
a Lithian in the end zone for a
safety on the last play of the
quarter.
In the fourth panel Mike Mc
Cullough tabulated for Hedrick
on a 25-yard run. Dick Byrd
passed to Olson for the conver
sion and the Hornets trailed 12
to 9. The Medford team tried an
onside kick-off and Mike Miller
recovered the ball for the Hor
nets on the Ashland 40.
Three plays later Hedrick
scored with McCullough going
the last 10 yards and then run
ning over the bonus.
Ashland had a touchdown run
called back by a penalty and
on another occasion a Lithia end
dropped the ball , in the end
zone.
Hedrick eighth closes its sea

PCC Session
To Be Held
On Sunday
Berkeley, Calif. (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.
