MURRAY'S FIELD GOAL GIVES
TORNADO EDGE OVER PIRAT
Ki BITTER DEFENSIVE BATTL
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford', Oregon, Sunday, October 5, 1958 13
Reaping harvest from the
first big break of the game
and from big Mike Murray's
educated shoe and hanging on
tough with terrific bruising
defense, Medford high's' reso
lute and iron-hearted Black
Tornado rose to heights Fri
day night to achieve the foot
ball victory it wanted most.
Murray, a 206-pound place
kicking artist angled a thump
from the 12-yard line for a
field goal in the opening min
ites of the first quarter for
the only marker of the night.
With it the Black Tornado,
No. 3 rated in the state, up
set the proud-spirited Marsh
field high Pirates of Coos Bay,
Oregon's No. 2 ranked team,
3 to 0 on the Medford turf.
From the field goal on, the
conflict became a tense, high-
pitched, superb and battering
struggle of defenses one of
the finest to be fought in Med
ford football history.
Ends Frustration
Other battles this season
may have more significance
toward state title ambitions,
but nov other 1958 triumph
may prove more satisfying to
the gridironers of Medford
than Friday's non-league clash.
The verdict, ending 11 years
of football frustration was the
first in eight games since 1947
against Marshfield high. It
stretched the Tornado precon
ference' winning string to
three. The Pirates were hand
ed their first loss in four 1958
encounters.
Medford, which platooned
with separate offensive and
defensive units, set up the
scoring play on the first op
portunity it had on the at
tack. The Tornado, with Mur-
. ray booting, kicked off to the
Bucs to start the game and
Back Walt Hunter ran the ball
back to the Marshfield 29
yard line. On the first Pirate
scrimmage play Hunter was
smashed hard and the ball
squirted from his grasp. End
Dennis Jensen fell on it for
Medford on the 35.
Winning Points
In seven plays with two
first downs the Tornado
barged to the Coos Bay five,
deepest penetration of the
' night for either team. There
on fourth down, with the ball
at an angle to the right of the
goal posts, the ball was snap
ped back to the 12 and Mur
ray kicked his winning points.
Then, the Tornado repulsed
three major offensive bids of
the ever dangerous Pirates
and saw its own further scor
ing aims held in check before
wrapping up its evening laur
els.
"Team effort" and "de
fense" were the words sum
ming up the skirmish. Med-
- ford's gang tackling, plus the
statistics, showed it. But
. among the hands who con
tained the Bucs, conceding
short yardage but spurning
long gains, these were the ma
jor stalwarts: Backs Jim
. Clark, Cal Dean, and Al
Funston, and linemen, Jen
sen, Murray, Gary Heath,
Gary Winetrout and Lynn
Knight.
"They were wonderful, I
tell you," said Coach Fred
Spiegelberg in praising his
"terrific" Medford team.
"They battled their hearts out.
The offense did good but that
defensive job was tremen
dous," the mentor declared.
"It gives them confidence,"
he added, looking to the
Southern Oregon conference
slate ahead. He stated that
Medford pass defense, with
good coverage of receivers
and pressure on the throwers,
was "the best it's ever been."
Substituting by offensive
nd defensive units proved a
factor in the upset, giving the
separate platoons alternate
turns to rest and allowing the j
coaches opportunity to spur
them on.
Punting by Lynn Knight,
with four kicks of 42 to 50
yards, and one quick boot by
Skip Bennett also thwarted
Pirate raid of the Medford end
zone.
The Tornado's attacking
forces found the going even
more rugged against the stub
born Pirate defensive gang.
Marshfield gave only 83 net
yards from scrimmage to
Medford, 16 passing and 67
rushing, while the Bucs ran
up 28 in the air and 104 on the
turf for 132 yards against the
host contingent. Kenneth
Johnson, Les Golbeck, Kent
Morris, Norm Brewer and
Gary Rossi were leaders of
this strong resistance.
Mashfield's biggest threat of
the night against the inspired
Medford defenders followed

JOYFUL TORNADOES-The Medford high
dressing room echoed with jubilation Fri
day night after the Black Tornado up
ended the high regarded Marshfield high
grid eleven 3 to 0. Here End Jerry Ander
son, left, and quarterback Bobby Pond con
gratulate each other while quarterback
Ray Konopasek, right, looks on. Medford
win was its first in football since 1947 over
the Pirates.
the second Medford kick-off
when the hard-running Hunt
er ran the ball back 48 yards
to the Tornado 44. The stout
home field crew, with the help
of a Pirate offside penalty,
halted the drive after it had
reached the eight. The infrac
tion put the ball back on the
14. Hunter gained back to the
12 and, fumbling, lostxto the
14 and to the 24.
Durke Intercepts
In the fourth down desper
ation Pirate quarterback Bob
Burke fired a pass into the
end zone. There, Ken Durkee
of Medford snared it and ran
Medford worked to the six in
two plays and Skip Bennett
punted to get the Tornado out
of the hole.
Marshfield in other offen
sive efforts gained to the Med
ford 24 and 25-yard lines
while the Tornado had the
ball on the Buccaneer 26 and
28.
Gerry Lyons, Medford, and
Hunter and Rossi, Marsh
field, were the workhorse ball
carriers and their averages
showed the defensive efforts
of both clubs. Lyons made 62
net yards in 24 packs for 2.58
yards per effort. Hunter toted
16 times for 55 and 3.43 and
Rossi had just 21 net for 15
tries or 1.4.. Lyons had some
good blocking on several end
sweeps.
The big yardage was made
on the broken field of kick
off and punt returns. Hunter
had his runs of 21 and 48
yards on kick-offs and 18 on
a punt return. Ron Reich for
Medford ran the second half
kick-off 'back 31 yards and
Rossi for Marshfield had a 23
yard punt return.
The visitors suffered a set
back near the end of the first
half when Hunter suffered a
leg injury which hampered
his effectiveness for the rest
of the action.
Until the closing minutes
when the slim three points
seemed to glare bigger and
bigger on the scoreboard, the
Tornado wasn't content to
just try to hang on to its lead
and sought to boost that bulge.
As late as the fourth quarter,
the Tornado risked the chance
of interceptions as Dick Rags-
dale heaved two passes and
Gary Lyons one.
For Medford Clark made
or had a share of 13 tackles
and had one pass interception.
Cal Dean was in on 12 stops,
Al Fuston and Heath on at
least three each, Jensen and
Winetrout on seven apiece
and Murray and Knight on six
each. Of the Pirates Golbeck
had 13 tackles or assists, Ken
neth Johnson 12, Brewer
eight, and Morris and Rossi
each seven.
Medford's dressing room
was the scene of jubilant
pandemonium after the fracas
and Murray was tossed in the
shower in his football regal
ia.

Notre Dame
Beats SMU
Dallas flJPD An explosive
41-yard scamper by sopho
more halfback William (Red)
Mack and a 72-yard sustained
power drive provided sixth
rated Notre Dame with the
ammunition to subdue stub
born Southern Methodist 14
6 Saturday before 61,500 fans.
The home town Methodists
fought savagely to avenge a
54-21 licking handed them
last season by Notre Dame,
but fumbled away a golden
opportunity to move ahead
late in the third quarter and
had to play the final period
without its great passer, Don
Meredith.
SMU uncorked an explosive
runner of its own for its lone
touchdown less than four
minutes deep into the third
quarter when Tirey Wilemon
took a wide pitchout from
Meredith and, behind some
crunching blocks by backs
Glynn Gregory and Jim
Welch, pumped his way 44
yards for a score. But Stan
Eckert's placement try was
wide and SMU was never able
to recover.

Boston University, primed
for an upset because Navy
was without the services of
Ail-American tackle Bob Rief

opening touchdown and again
with one minute left in the
