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-

Mitcham Goes
To Forty Niners
San Francisco - (UPD - The
San Francisco Forty -Niners
released rookie defensive half
back Tony Teresa Tuesday to
make room for Gene Mitcham,
an end and defensive half
back released by the Los An
geles Rams.
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. The Southern Oregon conference game
will be at the Medford stadium at 8 p.m.

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.
