TO AVOID TEMPTATION
Ashland High Football
Coach Varney Corey spent
the first half of Ashland-Cra-ter
game last week end in
the press box directing his
team by telephone. We ask
ed the mentor if he' planned
to be in the press box when
bis team is host to Medford
By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sports Editor
this Friday. The answer was
a definite "no." He's leary
that he might have the temp
tation to jump out.
CAVEMEN HAVE IT
RUGGED
Ordinarily when a prep
grid club has a bye date on
its slate, practices are not
so intense on the week of
the open date. However,
Grants Pass, which has no
game this Friday, has con
tinued with rugged drills
this week. At least that is
the report of the Grants
'Pass Courier.
Medford high fans can bo
assured, just the same, that
the Cavemen are taking
measures to have their
crew in top physical shapo
for the Nov. 7 brush with
the Tornado at . Grants
Pass. Because of the idle
week-end, GP may be in its
best physical condition of
the season.
The Grants Pass, team
and coaching staff probably
will be well-represented
among the spectators when
Medford plays at Ashland
this Friday. The Tornado
probably won't reveal any
more than it has to.
ALL SECONDS TO
MEDFORD
Medford high received the
second place votes of all 16

hind the top teams with 96.
FUNSTON ROOK GUARD
Jim Funston, all-state
football center and line
backer for Medford high
last year, is a guard on the
Oregon State College Rook
team and apparently is do
ing right well. He's hand
ling the strong side in the
single wing system.
GIRLS FOOTBALL
Senior girls will oppose the
junior girls in a football game
at the Illinois Valley high at
Cave Junction on Friday
night, Nov. 7. The girls will
elect a king to be crowned
at half time. Boys are form
ing booster sections and some
are practicing as cheer lead
ers. Gals of the two teams
