The tilt was the District 6 A-l inaugural for Medford. Crater was handed its sec ond league loss. A blocked punt set up the Tornado's only touchdown of the first half. A long pass, a Crater fumble and a short Comet punt prepared the way for the others. Dick Ragsdale slashed two yards for one TD and scooted 12 for another. Crunches B Loop; Lone Lead Redskins got the ball on their own 27. Ron Davis then pass ed to Ken Perreard and the play went 73 yards for a touchdown. Davis bucked two extra points and Tim White on dur ing the quarter. St. Mary's, sparked all aft ernoon, by the poised work like play of Bob Evans, touch downed early in the second panel. A five-play 46-yard push was capped when Evans went five yards over tackle. Jacksonville ' came back with a 63-yard sally in eight plays and Davis went across from the three to score.

Jacksonville made it 41 to 6 in the fourth quarter after Jerry .Winningham- intercept ed a pass which gave the 'Skins the ball on the SM 21. On the fifth play of .the drive Steve Smith ran the last eight yards. Evans To Daly Scores As much as they would have liked to, Coach Dea Cox's Red skins did not get to meet the Crusaders at full strength. Fifteen St. Mary's players, the biggest share of the.m regu lars, were "benched" by Coach Bill McKibbin for dis ciplinary reasons. He had them on the sidelines in uni form looking on. Jacksonville, which used re serves a good share of the time, ran up an edge of -266 to 201 in net scrimmage yardage.-The home club had 174 on the ground and 92 in the air. St. Mary's was held to 79 net rushing but got 122 yards on completion of 11 of the 23 passes heaved by Ev ans. His targets were Davy, Dick Thieral, Dave Lowry and Andre Knutson. The Redskins used passes sparingly with three complete in four tries, including a conversion throw. St. Mary's had the edge in first downs nine to six. KU Frosh Top Hornets Klamath Union high fresh men whipped the Hedrick ninth grade gridmen 20 to 0 in a Saturday afternoon game here. Quarterback Buckholz toss ed 28, three and 20 - yard touchdown passes and two conversions were kicked. The Pelican team tallied twice in the second panel, after a scoreless first quarter, and again in the fourth ses sion. , . . . The Hornets of Hedrick were several times inside the Klamath 20 only to lose the ball. Hedrick played good ball in streaks but the Hornets were puthustled' much of the way by the Pels. Scott Eaton and John DePlace were defensive standouts for the Medford eleven. ( . PER M o Danny Sieg slanted seven yards to the goal and a 36 yard pass play, Bob Pond to Len Griggs, concluded scor ing for the evening. Fowler Stands Out Running of Sieg, Ragsdale and Len Griggs, the throw ing of Ragsdale, Pond and Ray Konopasek, aerial snar ing of big Lowell Dean and Griggs and the generalship of Pond and Konopasek were the main elements of the Medford offense. Mike Mur ray, Al Funston, Jim Clark and Cal Dean spurred the de fensive game. Crater, with Bob Fowler j the shining light, made a cour ageous night of it against the deeper Black Tornado. The Comet line outcharged the Medford forwards during the first half and Dave Brown, Doug Davis and Derell Wil liamson were - leaders in holding down the Gale. Fow ler was the standout tackier on the field. He ran and blocked well for the Comet cause while Bill White shared honors in the Comet defen sive secondary. - Already shorthanded . com pared to Medford, Crater was dealt crippling blows when both Wayne Allen and Allen Barnes, received concussions late in the second quarter. Neither of the two fine backs saw duty in the second half and the Comets suffered greatly, both on offense and defense from their loss. Knight Blocks Punt ' Lynn Knight's block of Al len's punt in the early mo ments of the game put the Tornado in position for its first touchdown. Medford grabbed possession of the ball on the two-yard line. On the next play Ragsdale boom ed over right tackle to the goal. Murray booted . the ex tra pojnt. . The third quarter was half way gone when Medford got its second score.- Tornado gridders took the ball at mid field after a Crater punt. . A pass play, Ragsdale to Lowell Dean clicked for 43 yards to the Comet seven. Sieg scram bled to the end zone from there. .Murray's kick to con vert was wide. In the latter stages of the period Gary Winetrout fell on a Crater fumble on the Comet 21. Medford worked to the Crater 12 in three plays on the next play Ragsdale fum bled but scooped up the ball and rambled along the right sideline to score. Ball-holder Pond had trouble on the con version snap but ran the ball over for the point." The Comets were on their own 29 in the fourth quar ter. A punt by Loyal Higin botham went only seven yards and Medford took pos session on the 36. On the next scrimmage maneuver Pond fired to GriggS for a touchdown. Murray's bonus thump was wide. Get To Two The Tornado was halted on the Crater two and on the 13 near the end of the second canto and was on the Comet 18 when the game ended. Cra ter's deepest penerations were to the Medford 23 and 32. Medford actually got to the Crater one on one of its late first half pushes but a procedure penalty put the ball out to the seven where the Comets took over on downs two plays later.

Griggs and Kono pasek, juniors and a halfback and quarterback -respectively, had their first extensive service and performed ably for the Tornado. Pass Helps Much : Barnes had 32 yards in 10 packs for the Comets, all in the first half. Kerman Ben nett had 47 yards in nine turns with the ball in the second half but was stopped for losses or no gain frequent ly in the first half and netted just 28 yards. Allen in the first two quarters hurled four passes for completions total ing 32 yards.

Charts showed Fowler with some 16 tackles for the Com ets while Brown was in on nine stops and White and Da vis eight. Clark, Al Funston and Murray each had eight tackles or assists for Medford and Cal Dean seven. 48 Tornadoes Play Coach Fred Spiegelberg had some 48 Medford players in action while 23 were in the conflict for Coach Leonard Warren's Comets. Warren, who was "very happy" with the showing of the Crater club against Med ford, said that Allen and Barnes each suffered slight concussions and were all right Saturday, although both will have to take it easy in drills this week. Allen was hurt in blasting Griggs out of bounds and Barnes was shaken up while packing the ball on a quickie play. ? .

It was the first triumph for the Pirates I since annual football rivalry began between the two schools ! in 1952. A number of interceptions by alert Phoenix defenders and effectiveness of a pass run offensive helped the A-2 school shape the verdict over its 1 arge Class A-l foe.
