Newspaper Page TextTornado Hopes To Capitalize On Advantages Against Bucs Marshfield's rampaging Buc caneers will have the favored role when they go against the Medford high football forces here on Friday night. But, the press at least three advant ages in gunning for an upset against Oregon's No. 2 rated prep contingent. These bolstering factors to the Medford cause are a home field and home crowd, its single wing offense and its status as the underdog. Familiar home surround ings and the support of a par tisan crowd are a boost to any effort. And, the Pirates of Coos Bay, after three one sided triumphs, have their first ruckus of 1958 away from home. Also, when the 8 p.m. kickoff occurs Marsh field will be up against a single king attack lor the first time this season. Only a couple of Pirate stalwarts have been tested under fire against this type of offense. Prestige Battle No conference or -district laurels are at stake in the Medford-Marshfield brush but it still shapes up as one of the big games of the season with tremendous prestige at stake.. Pollsters rate Medford No. 3 behind the Pirates. The Black Tornado finished up its strenuous drills of the week with a long workout yesterday. A lot of time was spent on team defense. Med- fordites worked at breaking up anticipated Marshfield pass plays. They then turned to offense which emphasized their own passing attack and they ran their attack with dummy scrimmage. . Heat of the day made the drill a little tougher but Coach Fred Spiegelberg said the crew showed a good spirit and hustle. T think we can get across their goal line,' he remarked. But the question still re mains, and will be answered only on Friday, as to whether the Medford defenses can stop the well-round T offensive of Coach Pete Susick's Pirates which seems to click both on the ground and on the air. Little Change Spiegelberg indicated lit tle change in likely starters from the Tornado's past two encounters. Probables on of , f ense are Jerry Anderson and Pete Rasmussen, ends; Monte Penwell and Don Harrison, tackles; George Ice and John Frohnmayer, guards; Dennis Barr or Pat McLaughlin, cen ter; Bob Pond, quarterback; Gerry Lyons, left half; Ron Reich, right half, and Skip Bennett, fullback. For defense it may be Den nis Jensen and Anderson, ends; Gary Winetrout and Harrison, tackles; Mike Mur toy and Gary Heath, guards; fe.1 ' Funston and Jim Clark, linebackers; Ron Reich and Cal Dean, guards, and Don Peek, safety. Marshfield's offense gang could be Kenneth Johnson and Marvin Harris, ends; Tom Erdmann and Dick Kent, tackles; Harry and Jan Kel ley, guards; Gene Jenkins, center; Bob Burke, quarter back; Walt Hunter, left half; Gary Rossi, right half, and Les Golbeck, fullback. On defense likelies are Haris and Johnson, ends; Norm Brewer and Cecil Par ker, guards; Erdmann and Kent Morris, tackles; Jenkins and Kent, linebackers and Golbeck, Hunter and Rossi, backs. Every year, newspapers run more than 300 million classified ads.

Davis Leo Langloit Elmer Hopkins Rich Baer MedfordTrebune srpaDiHnrs Jerry Jerome in Fortieth Season as Time Man for Medford Football Games Of the hundreds of m$n who have been associated wi.h Medford High school over the many years of its sports history, no one has earned so many red stripes for his black sweater as has E. C. (Jerry) Jerome. Jerry, although a player in his younger days, didn't gain his stripes for gridiron feats for the Black Tornado. Yet, he was a familiar figure on the field of battle for many years. Today, he operates from a seat high above the turf. When Medford met North Salem here earlier this month, Jerome began his 40th season as timekeeper for Tornado football games. For most of the seasons Jerry performed his duties with stopwatch and pistol on the field. Since the electric scoreboard has been in oper ation, his workplace is the pressbox, where, he admits the view is better for follow ing the fortunes of the Med- fordites. Same Equipment But Jerome still has his pistol and stopwatch for emereencv service. And, he reports, they are the same equipment with which he began in 1919. Twelve coaches-have guid ed the football helm of Med ford High in the years that Jerome has been the clock man. In 1919 the tutor -was Heine Heidenreich. Otto Klum followed in 1920, Hol lis Huntington in 1921 and Dr. Edwin Durno in 1922. From 1923 through 1928, Prince (Prink) Callison men tored the gridiron "Terrors of the 20s." Muddell Hasen was coach in 1929 and Darwin K. Burg her served from 1930 through 1934. Longest as head coach was Bill Bowerman, 1935 through 1941 and 1946 through 1947. Lome Arnold tutored in 1942 and 1943 and Al Simpson in 1944 and 1945. Lee Ragsdale had the helm in 1948 through 1951, and Fred Spiegelberg, present coach, assumed head duties in 1952. 1928 Team Tops In addition to keeping time for Medford home games, Jerome has seen the biggest share of Tornado contests on rival fields. He says he has missed just six Medford grid encounters in the 40 seasons. Mail Tribue records indicate more than 325 Tornado games over the years up to this fall, with the Medford clubs winning 240 or more, losing some 62 and tying 25. Bowerman clubs won 57, Callison teams 44 and Burg her and Spiegelberg elevens 35 each.- Callison crews lost to only one high school foe, Salem, and were tied by one, Ashland. Jerome lists Callison's mythical state champions of 1928 as Medford High's all time greatest team. This club was undefeated in eight games and downed The Dalles 42 to 0 and Benson of Portland 39 to 0 for state honors. Jerry recalls that The Dalles had not been scored on for three years. Medford ran up 312 points to opponents' 32 that season with no club scoring more than one touchdown against it. All-Time All-Stars Five members of the 1928 team are among Jerome's se lections on an all-time Med ford High all-star eleven. His all-star choices and the years they graduated or finished their prep careers are: Ber nie Hughes (1929), center; Jack Hughes (1929) and Har- Sabre Jels Set Hawaii Speed Mark Honolulu-UPD-A pair of Air Force F100 Super Sabre jet fighters set an unofficial flight speed record Wednesday by flying from McClelland Air Force Base, Sacramento, Calif., to Hickham Field here in 4 hours, 19 minues and 45 seconds. The leader, Capt. Robert C Vickery, Birmingham, Ala., touched down one minute ahead of Lt. Jerome W. Klingaman, Primghar, Iowa. Both cracked the existing record of 4 hours, 32 minutes set earlier by another F100. ' JERRY JEROME Keeps Time 40th Year ley Dressier (1925), guards; Bill Morgan (1929) and Neil Plumley (1957), tackles; Red McDonald (1929) and Bill Bowerman (1929), ends; Dick McLaughlin (1956), quarter back; Bob Watson (1946) and Jack Morris (1950), halfbacks, and Bernie Senn (1927), full back. Eddie Demmer (1928) is recognized by Jerome as Med ford's all-time greatest punt er. He kicked the '.'old pun kin" (old type ball) consist ently 50 to 60 yards, Jerry re ports. Timekeeping can have its hazards and Jerome gives an incident at Klamath Falls as an example. He was helping the Klamath timer. In those days when a substitute stepped on the field, time was automatically out. In this particularly case, a Klamath man went on the field with only about 10 seconds left to play. Both timers stopped their watches. This gave Medford time to score a win ning touchdown. The Klam ath partisans nearly mobbed the two timekeepers. Various Occupations Jerome, who played high school football at Crookston, Minn., and pro baseball there in the Northern league, came to Medford in 1910. He was first with Prospect Construc tion company, which built Prospect No. 1, first dam on the Rogue river,' and then with Condon Light and Pow er company, which eventual ly became California Oregon Power company. He has been an assistant manager here for Standard Oil, has been in the tire busi ness and has had the Texaco agency. Before retirement he was with radio station KMED. He was a field man for the Shasta - Cascade Wonderland at the 1939 San Francisco world's fair and was appoint ed chairman by Gov. Julius Meier for the Oregon Dia mond Jubilee . celebration here in 1934. Jerry received his sweater at 1943 football game presen tation. It honored his 25th year as timekeeper and had stripes on the left sleeve cor responding to those years of service. Stripes have been added on the other sleeve since then. The presentation was by Frank Perl, ex-Med-ford High gridder and a long time booster of the school. Civil Service For Police Eyed Portland (UPD State Sen. G. D. Gleason, Portland Democrat, said today he will introduce a bill at the next Legislature to put state po lice under civil service Gleason's statement was the latest in a storm of contro versy that has. arisen over charges by State Rep. Rich ard Groener, Milwaukee Democrat, that state police have been placed on a "quota" system for traffic arrests. Gleason called the alleged quota pressure "reprehen sible.". He also said H. G. Mai son, superintendent of state police, "is opposed to civil service." Meanwhile, patrolman Rob ert Wampler received notice he is to appear before a dis ciplinary board in Salem Oct. 14. Wampler said one charge stated he discussed his grie vances "in a manner dis respectful to his superior of ficers" with another patrol man and asked for a written statement from the patrol- Eagles Host Phoenix in Friday Mix Eagle Point-Work on pass patterns along with other of fensive drill has occupied the Eagle Point high football squad in its preparations for Phoenix this Friday. Rogue league clash between the two aggregations will be on the Eagle field. Each club, along with try ing to advance its own cause, will have an eye also on the Glendale-Illinois Valley ruck us at Cave Junction. A third Friday night battle in the Rogue circuit and southern division of District 6 A-2 will have Henley at Rogue River. Defense against single wing offense has also been a prac tice activity here. 53 Candidates Eagle tutor Tom Van Etten has been heartened by the large turnout of 53 grid aspir ants and the play of a number of jayvees who earned the right to suit with the varsity with a 13 to 0 win over Rogue River jayvees on Monday. The Eagle camp also reported that Bob Berryman has been bid ding strong for a backfield starting post. In the JV mix Steve Geren scored a touchdown on a 50 yard run and Elvin Hawkins on a 20-yard romp. Hawkins passed to Steve Carroll for the bonus. Passing of Tom Perdue, running of Geren and the defensive work of Paul Evers and Roy Moore were highlights. EP is host Monday evening to Crater for a jayvee game.

Boy's Body Found In Michigan Wilds Iron Mountain, Mich. -&TD-The body of 4-year-old Ken neth Scott, who disappeared Sunday in the bear-infested wilderness north of her, was found today by an Air Force helicopter. The body was sighted by a 'copter pilot from the K. I. Sawyer Air Force base at Marquette. The pilot landed to recover the body from a spot about IV2 miles southeast of the hunting camp from which Kenneth wandered away. It was not immediately known how long the boy had been dead or what caused his death. Discovery of the body came shortly after two of the nation's best bloodhounds were flown - here from The Dalles, Ore., to join in the last ditch search for the child. 2x4-8' SPECIAL PRICE J-LVUO Bargain CHENEY STUD MILL Central Point hunting '& fishing Southern Oregon By MEL With the largest steelhead runs in the river for many years good success is being had by fishermen all along the river. The lower river in the Gold Beach-Agness area is reported very hot for flies and flash lures. One angler fly fishing the Marial section reported 15 steelhead hit his flies in one day's fishing. The Galice portion has been paying off well with flies, Mo tos and Hotshots. Guides say there are plenty of fish all through this area. The part of the river from Grants Pass to Hells Gate has slowed some what since a week ago but there are big runs reported below Rainey falls and it is expected that these fish will be in the upper river very soon. DRIFTING TRICKY The river is very low and clear which makes drifting a tricky business. The fish seem io be lying in the deeper holes and in the fast riffles where there are ledge rocks. In a day's drift last week we hit three of them near Robertson bridge, two were in the fast water and one in the deeper slack-ed-out water of a long hole. NATURAL SWING BEST Talking with a veteran guide the other day brought out some interesting facts con cerning methods of fishing at this time of season. He said that most anglers make a mis take in fishing lures from a boat by. "dinging" around with the lure instead of let ting it take natural swings and drifts with the boat. He recommended letting out from 40 to 80 feet of line and pointing the rod directly at the lure and leaving it there! The average fisherman, he said, has the tendency to keep raising the rod tip and this produces an unnatural motion to the lure or fly. He also pointed out that with a bent rod there is too much give when the fish takes the hook and this allows him to shake it more times than not. Monofilament line, which is generally used, has enough stretch to take care of any sudden strike. After the strike the rod tip can be raised to take the strain off the line and the fish then played with the tip held high. In the case of fishing flies, the angler should ignore the nibbles of trout. Many times it is pointed out, the steel head will lie there watching the fly as the trout nibble at it. In fact this attracts the bigger fish and many times after a series of nibbles there will come the smashing strike of the steelie. This has been prpven enough times to be accepted as a fact. GUESSING CONTEST Saw an amazing thing the other day. In a local sport shop1 there was a large jar. about 6 gallon size I should say. In it were all kinds and sizes of shells from the little .22 io shotgun shells. It turned out to be a guess ing contest pul on by Peters ammunition ' company in which they are giving awy some very valuable guns for the nearest guess as to how many shells are in the . jar. The thing that intersted me is the utter impossibility of trying io figure out how many of these cartridges ONE PARENT SAW DUREN Milwaukee -(U?D- New York Yankee relief pitcher Ryne Duren, of Cazenovia, Wis., knew one of his parents saw him lose Wednesday's World Series game to Milwaukee, but he didn't know which one. "They work in the same post office and both can't take off the same day," he ex plained. PER M Grade it REES there are. I suppose thai it is a case of anybody's guess being just as good as anoth er. ARMY OF GUNNERS An army of gunners have already headed for the hills and the opening of the deer season. From all indications this promises to be a good year for the deer hunter. Field biologists say there was a good crop of fawns this year and the deer are in prime condition. DUBIOUS INTEREST Of dubious but vital in terest to many deer hunt ers is the news of the 900. 000 acres of private and forested lands in the very heart of mule deer country near Prineville have been incorporated into a new self - managing program of game management and con servation. There is a slight (?) charge of $25 per head io hunt in this territory. This charge is to go for patrol work. If. say 1,000 hunters choose to take (advantage) of this layout. I would say thai $25,000 would make a juicy patrol! Who knows, maybe we here on the Rogue river can someday charge these ranchers $25 per to fish our river! This smacks a bit of bally ole England where the land ed gentry and m'lord get io do the hunting and the rest of the poor blighters can go 'ang fr' it!!
