Black Tornado Has Role of Favorite in Tangle With Crater Medford, as usual, will have the favored role Friday night, when it entertains the Crater high Comet football team in Southern Oregon con ference action. The Black Tornado's better record, although it has played one less game, and its prestige gained by victory over high ranked Marshfield rate it the choice over the keyed up Comets of Central Point. And Medford's greater depth is a factor in the picking. The 8 p.m. fracas will "be th - sixth meeting between the neighboring schools. Med- Medford Rated 2nd Portland Medford High moved up into second place this week in the Associated Press prep football poll. The Black Tornado, 3 to 0 ietor over Marshfield last week end, look over the spot previously held by that Coos Bay school.

Teresa was former San Jose State quarterback while Mit cham, a 210 pounder, played for Arizona State. The Forty Niners were faced today with the necessity of making one more cut before Sunday's battle with the Chi cago Bears. They will be a , player over the limit when flashy halfback Abe Woodson joins the club Thursday in Chicago. Woodson has been in the Army. Seventh Graders Vie on Thursday Medford seventh grade football games slated this week have been moved up to Thursday at 4 p.m. McLoughlin Whites will op pose the Hedrick Reds and Hedrick Junior high and Hed rick Blues will meet the Mc Loughlin Blacks at McLough lin. Games were originally set for Saturday but were moved because in order that players might go on week end hunt ing trips. fard has won on the four oc casions following a stunning victory by Crater in the first hassle between the two schools in 1953. Big Game For Comets But the Tornado has al ways found its Central PcJint adversary determined and upset-minded and on two occa sions has had to fight back for victory after yielding the first touchdown of the game to Crater. Medford provides the big game of the year for the Comets. Comet margin of triumph over Medford in 1953 in its first big time football game was 20 to 14. Since then the Black Tornado has won 41 to 19, 37 to 0, 34 to 12 and 40 to 14. Medford goes into its first 1958 District 6 A-l engage ment with victories behind it of 21 to 7 over North Salem, 19 to 0 over David Douglas and 3 to 0 over Marshfield. Crater, facing its second league opponent has defeated Cottage Grove 19 to 0 and Eagle Point 47 to 13 and has lost to Redmond 27 to 6 and to Grants Pass 26 to 7. Liess Manpower j As in past meetings Crater will enter the Tornado action with much less manpower than the Black Tornado. Ranks of the Comets are thin this season with a number of players having to go on both offense and defense. Medford, however, is just about three deep at every position and can field separate offensive and defensive platoons. Medford will match its mul tiple attack, based around the single wing formation, against the split T of the Central Pointers. Crater's offense is similar in style to that of Marshfield which was on dis play here last Friday. Passing has a considerable role in the Comet assault. Medford indi cated last week that it may make passing more a factor than usual. The Tornado is trading ad versaries with orants .pass this week and outcomes should give Medford and GP both an idea of what to expect when they take the. field against each other on the last Friday of the regular cam paign. Grants Pass tackles the tough Marshfield Pirates at Coos Bay. COMETS PREP FOR MEDFORD - Coach Leonard Warren, right, gives four of his Crater linemen some pointers as the Com ets gird for their football scrap with Med ford on Friday evening. Players in their stance are Tom White, left, an end, and Glen Cote, a tackle. Standing behind them are guards Tom Turner, left, and George Hunt.

Red Raider Squad Gets 2-Day Rest Ashland - Staleness, tired ness, and the fact they met a superior football team ex plains quite fully the reason the Raiders were wiped out by Lewis and Clark college, last weekend 60-13. All doctors must have a curing element for this dis ease and Coach Al Akins gave the Red Raiders of Southern Oregon college a two day rest before making preparations for . Portland State. SOC op poses the Vikings in the first Oregon Collegiate conference game next Saturday night at 8 p.m. here on Fuller field. Throughout the entire con flict "with the Pioneers of L & C the Raiders never could get into contention to any extent. The men of SOC did display one of the most thrill ing pass attacks in years, but L and C gave strength to the old theory that the team that is able to rush well generally wins out over the aerial game. Gordie Carrigan was the only SOC runner able to pick up any yards to some extent and he got a net of 51 on 13 attempts, mostly on quick flips around the ends. Jack Brown put on a most pleasing passing display by completing 23 of 39 for a grand total of 266 yards which will put him in the ranks as one of the top small college passers in the nation. Medford's Tony Brauner ex hibited some good punting as he had plenty of opportunity to do so. Brauner got away one boot that went for 55 yards and overall he kicked four for a 41.7 average. Larry Yarnell was about the only bright spot for the Raiders when he picked off seven passes for a total of 94 yards. Larry Maurer latched onto 10 and a sum of 91 yards.
