RAIDERS' SPREAD AGAINST THUNDERBIRDS No, Southern Oregon doesn't have just a two man team. This is a view of the Southern Oregon college spread used against University of British Columbia gridders Saturday night. Nine other Raiders- and nine members of the Cana dian team are lined up on opposite sides of the scrimmage Red Raiders Subdue British Columbians Ashland Southern Ore gon college, treating Rogue valley supporters to some spectacular football, broke into the 1958 win column in non-conference contention on Saturday nighty Dominating the conflict both ont he ground and in the" air, the Red Raiders of the Rogue turned back the University of British Colum bia Thunderbirds 25 to 6. , It was a game marked by wide open football and" spic ed by a few "international in cidents" as feelings were aroused in the heat of the struggle: The Raiders unveiled a ver sion of the spread formation and were spurred on by the ball toting of Laval Meunier, Eldon Francis and Larry Maurer, the passing of Jack Brown and the aerial receiv ing of Jim McAbee, Meunier and Gordon Carrigan. Hen wood, with his chucking and Don Vassos, with his running were the major UBC offen sive threats. Carrigan Snaps On" the spread end Carri gan took the position of ball snapper with quarterback Lance Locke in receiving po sition some distance behind him. Rest of the Raiders lin ed up on the opposite side of the field. The formation worked twice for gains of 10 and 20 yards by Locke and on the other occasion it was used. Locke completed a pass to Francis for a minus five yards. Southern Oregon touch- downed in very quarter ex cept the third, the panel, in which UBC cracked over the Raider goal. The Ashland hosts put to gether a fumble recovery and a long pass for their initial marker. Pounce on a fumble set up a short punch for a second TD and drives produc ed the other scores. Meunier, McAbee, Locke and Owsley were Raider touchdown-mak ers. Locke toed one conver sion. Shifty' Quarterback Hen- wood barged across the pay line to end a 65-yard promen ade for the Thunderbirds. The Raiders had to put on a determined goal line stand before they struck suddenly for their first six points. Brit ish Columbia took the open ing kick back to its 26 and bombarded to the Raider one yard line. A motion penalty set the Thunderbirds back to the six. They regained to the one and another infraction for over eagerness put them again back to the six. 63-Yard Play SOC took over on downs, A fumble put the Raiders back on the three and Tony Brauner punted out to the SO 37 yard line. Receiver Henwood fumbled and burly Phil Sword fell on the ball Raider quarterback Jack Brown then heaved the ball far down the field to Meun ier. Henwood covering the ex- St. Mary's prepper, deflected the ball, but it fell into Meun ier's waiting arms and he scampered away to the goal. It was a 63-yard scoring play. Locke's thump to convert was wide. The Raiders pushed from their ' own 29-yarder to the UBC 32 in the second period. They lost the ball when Lau rie Turpin recovered an El don muff on the 34. But they got the ball right back on the next play. Henwood lost it and Merv Newell nabbed it on the Thunderbird 36. A Brown to McAbee aerial picked up 19 yards to the 17. Larry Maurer gained five more to the 12 and Brown passed to McAbee deep in the end zone for another touch down. Locke's kick for an other point hit the crossbar and bounded back. Southern Oregon had a 12 to 0 count. Drive From Midfield The Raiders moved to the BC end zone again the next time they got the ball. After the kick off the Canadians were set back to their 21 on a holding infraction. Then Henwood, trying to pass,' was spilled on his 11 by Kay Weinhold of the Ashland club. Two passes failed and, after Henwood's punt, the Raiders had the ball on the Thunderbird 48. In 13 plays SOC had its score despite be ing penalized to the 50 for clipping after having gained to the 32. Biggest gains along the way were 10. yards by Locke ..on the perplexing spread, 18 yards on a Brown heave to Maurer and 14 on a pass-lateral Brown to Francis to Meunier. Play that finally made it to the end zone was a one-yard sneak by Locke. This time Locke's bonus kick was good for 19 to 0 at half time. In the third quarter SOC fought from its 32 to the Thunderbird 10 on a 15-yard run by Maurer, a 38-yard pass play, Brown to Gordon Carrigan and a five-yard ex cursion by Maurer. But Brown, trying to pass, was dropped on the 20 and a per sonal foul put the Raiders back to the 37. Brauner's run i off punt formation got only to the 35 where British Colum bia launched its goalward drive. It took the Birds 10 plays and they got a boost on an other 15-yard personal foul penalty on the Raiders. Best gains were Henwood to Dave Tuttle passes for 23 and 24 yards. The latter put UBC on the one; Henwood sneaked over from there. Owsley Scores SOC had a 61-yard cam paign with seven plays for the last TD of the combat. Meunier toured for 20 yards on a reverse and Locke roll ed for 19 and Maurer took a pitch for 10. Owsley went into the end zone on the second of two one-yard plunges. Mc Abee tried to dropkick for the extra but it failed. Brown passed 10 times and completed six for 164 yards while Henwood found receiv ers on eight of 15 tries for 128. Henwood was dumped for" losses on several tries to pass but on a number of oc casions capitalized on SOC "dogging" efforts, shaking loose and getting passes away. He was chased all over the backfield on a few occa sions. UBC called timeout quickly when the Raiders lined up in their spread and came up with a man-for-man defense with just two players left to watch Carrigan and Locke and the others across the field opposite the rest of the Southern Oregon eleven.

The Agriculture Depart ment said the 1958 cotton crop will bring in about $1,940,000,000 if it is of aver age quality. Last year's crop sold for $1,596,000,000. Quality in the early part of the crop was good. The de partment said that cotton ginned up to Sept. 16 con tained a higher proportion of strict middling and higher grades than in any compar able period since 1947. The grade index of early ginnings was 99.6 compared with 99.0 one year earlier. The depart ment announced the figures Sunday in its report "Cotton Situation." The size of the 1958 crop was estimated at 12,10a,000 bales on Sept. 1, compared with 10,964,000 bales last year. Two counties in Iowa, Ida and Sac, are known for pop corn production, as much as all the rest of the state. line, out of sight on the far side of the field. End Gordon Carrigan snaps the ball (shown by the arrow) to Lance Locke who gained 20 yards on this play. Lone UBC defend er shown is Frank Baillie. Another Canadian player is be hind him out of the view of the camera. Southern Oregon won 25 to 6. MedfordJTribunb No Big Rush For Tickets For Friday An estimated 100 reserved seat tickets for the Medford Marshfield hih football game were still on hand at the senior high office here after early morning sale today. The game is on the - Black Tornado turf here next Fri day evening. Remaining reserve tickets, as long as they last, can be bought during school office hours, 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Opening of the Marshfield game ticket sale failed to pro duce the rush which was anti cipated from the experience of past seasons. But huge spectator turnout neverthe less is anticipated. The game, although non-conference, will be possibly the big contest of this week end on the Oregon prep front. Bucs Quick M e d f o r d Coach Fred Spiegelberg, who scouted the Pirates of Cobs Bay in their 48 to 7 decision over Sweet Home last Friday, came back impressed with the strength of Coach Pete Susick's Buc caneers. The Pirates reportedly are not as big as some of the past Marshfield clubs but are quicker and have real fire and hustle. They utilize the T formation attack with pitch outs and crossbucks and the ball carriers to watch are Walt Hunter and Gary Rossi. Marshfield does have one real hefty in the defensive line with Cecil Parker at 250 pounds. Against Sweet Home, in what proved to be no contest, the Marshfield club had a 21 to 0 bulge after one quarter. Reserves played most of the rest of the way and Susick had 74 men, including some freshment in the game. Italians Devoted To TV Quiz Shows Rome-OJPD-Italy's television fans are as devoted to their quiz shows as Americans are to pizza. When . TV officials an nounced in August that the quiz, "Lascia o Raddoppia?" ("Double or Quits") would end on Oct. 2, the show's fans rallied to the cause. So many wrote in and said they would not renew their 1959 TV licenses if the pro gram was dropped that Italy's state-controlled radio and tele vision Corporation, RAI, de cided to keep it going another year. The quiz has been running nearly four years and has turned 60 Italian citizens into millionaires. - The 60 million aires each won 5,120,000 lire, or $8,230. This amount has a much higher buying power in Italy than it would have in the United States. When "Double or Quits" first went on in 1954, RAI of ficials figured it wouldn't last more than a month at the most. But it not only caught on,, it brought in two-thirds of RAI's nearly one million licensed viewers as of July 1958. A decline in popularity at the start of the year led to the' decision to yank the show off. the airways in October, but the flow of letters changed all that.

Fish Lake Treatment Wednesday No picking up of trout at Fish lake will be permitted until about noon Wednesday, Oct. 1, a state game commis sion spokesman reported to day. The lake is to be treated that day with liquid, rotenone to clear it of trash fish, roach, which have multiplied to the point where trout are almost crowded out. Retenone suffo cates the fish but does not destroy their edibility since the chemical is not poisonous to human beings. . The prohibition against im mediate picking up of trout which appear on the surface is aimed enabling the game men and their helpers to com plete the operation without hindrance. , Skin Divers Unique feature of the op eration will be the employ ment of Ashland skin divers Tad Gandee and Richard Smith to force liquid rotenone by pressure hose into springs at the bottom of the lake.

Lou Groza and Gordie Sol tau, two of the better booters in the game, put their educat ed toes to work when they were needed most Sunday as the National Football league teams opened the 1958 sea son. Oklahoma, Army Have New Look By TIM MORIARTY United Press International The. two-point conversion rule isn't the only' "new look" in college football this sea son. Oklahoma and Army, two perennial powers that hereto fore featured well-executed but convenional attacks, both introduced new spread forma tions in bowling over their opening opponents last Satur day. The Sooners used split ends, flankers, laterals and long passes in walloping West Virginia, 47-14, while the Cadets rolled to a 45-8 victory over South Carolina with a razzle-dazzle offense that in cluded an unbalanced line with the strong-side end flanked 15 yards out. Oklahoma's new attack completely, baffled West Vir ginia. The Sooners out-rush ed the Mountaineers, 335 yards to 126, and out-passed them, 264-70. Three of Okla homa's touchdowns came on passes, including a spectacular aerial from Bobby Boyd to Wahoo McDaniel that cover ed 86 yards. For a team that failed to complete a pass against Navy two years ago, Army went wild through the air in its opener. Pete Dawkins scored four of the Cadet's seven touchdowns, two on aerials, while AU-American Bob An derson pitched a pair of scoring passes. . The Rio Grande valley was first explored in 1519, when Alonso Alvarez de Pineda led an expedition upstream about 100 miles in the Rio Grande. He named the river "Rio de las Palmas," after a grove of palm trees growing near the mouth. The grove is still there. escaped suffocation because of the springs. Dripping of rotenone into the Four-Mile lake canal which feeds Fish lake was started Friday. This operation treats water which flows through a lava basin into the lake and water takes from five to seven days to flow through this basin. The regular bag limit of 30 trout will apply for per sons picking up fish but game men are doubtful any one person will get that many since trout appear to be so scarce. When the toxic effect of rotenone is gone from the lake it will be restocked with rainbow trout. mm TR0-G31X CONCRETE C 248 E. McAndrews Rd. Groza, called "The Toe" be cause of his unerring canni ness through 12 previous pro campaigns, booted a four yard "chippy" with only 23 seconds left in the game to provide the Cleveland Browns with an uphill 30-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams before the day's biggest crowd, 69,993, in L.A. Memo rial coliseum. - Soltau, whose kicking prowess through the years has led the San Francisco Forty Niners to many victories, did a little better although he had a little, more time. Wjth the score tied at 20-20, Soltau sailed a 22-yarder over the crossbar with a little less than three minutes remaining to provide the Forty-Nioers with a 23-20 win over the Pitts burgh Steelers. Elsewhere around the cir cuit, the . Baltimore Colts, paced by the pin-point passing of Johnny Unitas, upended the defending world cham pion Detroit Lions, 28-15; Frank. Gifford and Alex Web ster scored five times between them to lead the New York Giants to an easy 37-7 win over the Chicago Cardinals; Willie Galimore scored three times as the Chicago Bears downed the Green Bay Pack ers, 34-20, and the Washing ton Redskins rallied in the final period to down the Phil adelphia Eagles, 24-14. f Jr Jm Jm v VL&x 1 Ilk 1 it i i m I f frr. .

"We can't go 60 minutes at full steam," said Albert, shak ing his head as he commented on the Forty Niners' hair breadth 23-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I was proud of the come back the team made after we trailed, 20-7," he said, 'but our play was too' spurty." . On. the credit side, Albert said, was the pass catching of R. C. Owens. Last Minute Field Goal . "He was marvelous. His catches were simply great. And -he'll be making more of them this season." It was Gordon Soltau's 22 yard field goal with only 2 minute's and - 31 seconds of playing time remaining that gave the Forty Niners the vic tory. Soltau's three - pointer cli; maxed a tremendous come back after the Forty Niners had fallen behind, 20-7, late in the third period. Before that,, quarterback John Brodie, who had been pulled out of the game be cause he couldn't make the team click, put on a great aerial show with Owens on the receiving end of most of the tosses.
