Championship Engagement
o
Football fever has been
forced to take a back seat to the
unpopular and devastating flu
bug through this season. But
that won't be the case this eve
ning at the senior high school
stadium here.
Heated conflicts to wrap dist
rict diadems will be the rule
all around the Oregon prep grid
front this evening. And this area
will be no exception with the
Rogue river valley's high school
"game of the year" billed on the
Medford turf.
Grants Pass high, which feels
it has been underrated in state
polls and is out to prove it, en
counters Medford's Black Torna
do, which has not challenged the
ratings but nevertheless will put
forth the effort to halt the Cave
men's claim of higher ranking.
Jtick-off time is 8:15 p.m. Win
ner will be the District 6 A-l
and Southern Oregon confer
ence champion.
Tied at 3-0
While the Cavemen have a 6-1
record for the year and Med
ford is 5-2, each is 3-0 in the cir
cuit. Strictly on the basis of
coach and press polls and on
comparative scores, which must
be considered with some skepti
cism. Grants Pass is granted
the favored spot. But most fans
are willing to concede that the
fracas will-be a close one and
could go either way.
Those giving the nod to the
Cavemen point to the effective
ness of GP passing and the com
bination of its ground and aerial
threat. The Medford offense
sticks almost entirely to the
ground.
A tie game is possible, al
though records of GP-Medford
gridiron conflicts show no
deadlock in- the long history of
Othe rivalry. Should the teams
knot, selection of the state quar
terfinalist will be up to district
committeemen who likely would
use game yardage and first
down statistics as basis of their
chotce.
G P Hits Stride
Medford and Grants Pass
were picked as leading contend
ers for district honors at the
start of the campaign. The Cave
men hit their stride in late sea
son. Best Tornado performances
were in mid-campaign but the
Medfordites overall have done
better trftn many followers anti
cipated. Ron Reich, Bob Gee and John
Jones have been the main Tor
nado ball packers this fall. Jack
Dean and Mike Rose are the
leading luggers for the Cave
men. Jim Smith is the GP pas
ser with Mike Sparlin his chief
receiver but with numerous
tosses gathered in by other
hands.
The Tornado will carry a line
weight average edge of 180 to
187 to around 168 for Grants
Pass. Caveman backfield aver
age, however, exceeds Medfords
167 to 157. Over all weight aver
age for Medford is 176 or 172
to 167 for the Cavemen.
Defense. Defense, Defense
Coach Fred Spiegelberg of the
Tornado said this morning that
Reich, right halfback and lead
ing ground gainer of the club,
probably will be In the starting
line-up, although hobbled by an
ankle injury in last week's
game. "We've gotta shoot the
vrks," the mentor said. Main
loss to the Torna'do is Guard
Die Corum, out with a head in
jury suffered in the Eureka
game. Frank Albert and George
Ice may see most service at the
position. Albert was shifted this
SHIFTED FOR GAME Frank
Albert, above, 196-pound senior
lineman of the Medford high
football squad has shared a
tackle assignment this season
but has been shifted to a guard
spot this week and may start
against the Grants Pass Cavemen
tonight. The District 6 A-l cham
pionship contest is on the Med
ford field. (Landis photo).
week from the tackle slot he has
shared with Dick Sorenson.
"Defense, defense, defense,"
has been the stress in the Med
ford camp this week and the
head coach has indicated that
measures have been taken to
strengthen against the anticipat
ed Caveman air bombardment.
Despite the woes of injuries,
Medford practices have gone
well this week. The gridders
drilled longer than usual for a
Thursday in yesterday's final
preparation for the game.
Letters In Turf '
Just what Grants Pass has
been doing in its drills has not
been voiced around. But wily
Coach Mel Ingram and his Cave
Dwellers are certain to bring
along some surprises from the
Climate city.
There's been plenty of evi
dence around of high feeling
for the game. The letters "GP"
were found burned in the turf
of the Medford stadium. This
has been Tornado week at Med
ford high. A television program
helped build up enthusiasm.
Grants Pass students were- in
vited but did not appear for the
show. Both schools had rally
fires last night and a downtown
noise and float parade is slated
here this afternoon. Miss Tor
nadia will be crowned tonight.
Responsibility for the letters
in the turf reportedly has not
been pinned down. Gasoline re
portedly was used. The letters
are about seven feet tall and
take up most of, the space be
tween the goal and five-yard
lines in the northwest corner of
the gridiron.

Macias' Only
Setbacks in
Los Angeles
By HAL WOOD
Los Angeles (IP) As far as
little Paul Raton Macias is con
cerned, they can take all of Los
Angeles, load it aboard a large,
economy-sized Sputnik and ship
it to the moon.
The little mouse, as he is af
fectionately called by his wor
shippers in Mexico, has lost two
fights in his life both right
here in the city of the angels.
He has a good alibi this time,
when it developed that he had a
badly smashed left hand from
the sixth round on when he lost
his battle with France's Al
phonse Halimi for the world's
bantamweight championship, but
he didn't use that as a cause for
his defeat.
L.A. Macias Roadblock
"I just can't seem to get un
tracked in this town," he said
through his interpreters.
It was in 1955, when he was
sailing smoothly on the road to
success, that he met Billy Pea
cock here and, for his pains, was
knocked out in the third round
with a broken jaw. His only
other fight in, this neighbor
hood was in Hollywood last year
when he knocked out Larry
Bataan in six heats.
However, it is an ill wind
that blows no good, as some
Russian inventor said years ago.
And at least there was one vic
tory for the Mexicans here
Wednesday night.
They proved themselves to be
good sports much better than
fearful police had anticiapted.
The Los Angeles police de
partment had placed 175 men
on active duty around Wrigley
Field to control the mob of 20,
000 in case Macias lost on a
close decision.
Well, Raul lost a split de
cision but the Mexicans never
uttered a single protest. They
knew that their man had lost.
Many had come 3,000 miles
from Mexico City to watch their
idol win the undisputed world's
championship. He was whipped
but good.
CRATER'S COMETS FACE
MYRTLE CREEK ELEVEN
Central Point Crater high
winds up its 1957 grid season
Saturday evening with a contest
on its home turf. It will be a
non-leaguer with Myrtle Creek
at 8 p.m.
The MC Vikings are old foes
of Crater with rivalry dating
from the days of the JDJ league.
Currently Myrtle Creek is a
member of the A-2 Umpqua Val
ley loop.
The Comets have been rather
hard at it in drills this week
despite completion of their
Southern Oregon conference
slate last Friday. Defense has re
ceived a lot of attention with
emphasis on tackling. Attention
switched to offense also when it
was seen not going well in prac
tice. Particular work was aimed
at the maneuvering of backs.
Coach Leonard Warren said
that Lee Gossett, back out since
the Grants Pass game because
of a knee injury, will play Satur
day and possibly will start. With
the knee taped up he's been run
ning hard in practice although
he lacks conditioning from his
long lay off.
Gossett is particularly keen
about playing because, as a sen
ior, it is his last chance on the
gridiron for the Comets.
Among seniors seeing last
service are Randy Campbell,
Jerry Kime, Mike Martin and Ed
Logan.
