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.

Cotlon Farmers Due
For Bigger Pay Day
Washington - (UPD - Cotton
farmers were headed today
for a 17 per cent bigger pay
day than last year.
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.

and Sac, are known for pop

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. It

Groza, Soltau Kick
Winning Goals for

No matter how you look at
it, the kick is the thing in pro
football.
Lou Groza and Gordie Sol

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.

Crew Still
Not Solid
San Francisco - (UPD - Coach
Frankie Albert said today his
San Francisco Forty Niners
are "still not a solid ball
club" despite the fact they
won their National Football
league season opener.
"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.
