At the center position

from illness and Corey
may use the services of Lee
Scott, a junior varsity pivot
man.
Guard Phil Rodenmayer

among others victimized by
the flu and Chuck Rush may

SOPHOMORE LINEBACKER-AI Funston, above, is one , of
the sophomores who have been doing so well for the Medford

Because of hfs combined
boxer-puncher prowess, the
stubby little ' champion from
Nigeria, Africa, is favored at

Dark-haired Costa, inspired
by a two-week-old baby

African and force a title bout.

Bassey, 26-year-old son of

shortest of all featherweight

126-pound division stands only
5-feet, 3-inches. He's an inch
and a half shorter than Costa.
But with the gloves cn he's
a "big man," beaten only
twice in the past five years.
Costa, 24-year-old son of a
caretaker in the city Water

high-ranking contender. But
now he's on the comeback

McLoughlin
Ninth Grade
Tips Crater
Denied a score on their
first effort of the afternoon,
the McLoughlin Junior High
ninth graders used a punt re
turn in the middle of the first
quarter to start the touch
downing in a 27 to 13 football
victory ' yesterday over the
Crater freshmen.
Jim Dexter faked a hand
off ' to Bob Schroeder, then
ambled about 60 yards down
the sideline to pay dirt. Good
blocking enabled him to get
away.
Crater tied up the fuss in
the early second quarter with
a pass for 25 yards, Gil Harri
son to Chuck Cavin and con
version by Jim Fowler. Then
Mac drove to the Comet four
yard line with some nice run
ning by Dan .Goghill and
George Clearwater. Pexter
scored from there.
The Bulldogs struck again
in the third quarter. Steve
Kehoe packed the mail from
40 yards out. In the fourth
panel Rex Nicodemus circled
end and ran 15 yards for a
touchdown. Fowler got the
second TD for Crater, going
three yards on a dive play.
Huffman, on a pass from
Clearwater and Dexter and
Nicodemus converted for Mac.
Fowler was top defensive
man for the Comets while
Monte Jones, Joe Griffin,
Merle Guches, Larry Plank
enhorn and Kehoe drew par
ticular praise for chores for
the Bulldogs.
tors' pick as the Central Point
school wraps up its 1958 slate.
Comparative scores can't
always be relied on in fore
casting a winner. But the
scores and game statistics are
about the only tangibles to
pickers have to go on. And,
Crater is the "upperdog" on
the basis of play within the
conference.
The Comets bowed to
Grants Pass 26 to 7 and to
Medford 26 to 0 in District
6A-1. Klamath fell before GP
32 to 0 and before the Black
Tornado 53 to 0.
In scrimmage yardage Cra
ter gained 258 against Grants
Pass and yielded 286 net to
the Cavemen while Klamath
netted only 44 against GP and
were pushed back for 378.
Against Medford, Crater got
128 yards to the Tornado's
350. Klamath, meeting the
Tornado compiled a 78 net
and gave up 443.
In nbn league play Klamath
defeated South Eugene 12 to
7, a team which later lost 25
to 0 to Cottage Grove. Crater
downed Cottage Grove 19
to 0.
Crater has run up 152
points in seven games this
season to 123 for rivals. Klam
ath in seven has compiled
only 25 markers while rivals
have totaled 198.
The Comets had their final
practice of the fall yesterday
and made it a session of fun
as well as work and they
went through pass patterns
and signal drill. The drill was
dismissed early.
Crater will meet a Klamath
crew battered up by injuries
but should be in pretty good
shape itself. Coach Leonard
Warren said that he thought
defensive end Derell William
son, who suffered a knee in
jury in the Ashland game,
will be able to play.
For the Comets the tangle
means the difference between
a winning season and a break
even one. Crater has four
wins and three losses so far
this season and also needs a
victory tonight to come out
even in league play. The Cen
tral Pointers are 1-2 jnthe
circuit.

Eagles Scrap Chieftains;
Phoenix Goes to Henley
Rogue league gridders com
plete their regular loop sched
ule this week end.
Eagle Point will be at
Rogue River' high this eve
ning and Phoenix at Henley
on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
The Eagles are heavily fa
vored to bounce the cellarite
Chiefs and to claim the Rogue
banner with five victories and
no losses. Henley, hoping,
nevertheless, for an Eagle set
back, will go into its conflict
knowing whether or not it is
still in the running for a con
ference co-title. Henley has
lost only to Eagle Point in the
circuit.
Earlier in the campaign
Henley would have been the
favorite. But Phoenix has
come along fast recently and
the fray can now be regarded
as a toss up.
Coach Jack Woodward has
pronounced the Phoenix Pi
rates in good shape for the
effort to spoil the Hornet
homecoming. The Pirates have
had little scrimmage this
week but there's been a lot of
individual contact work. Pass
defense has had some atten
tion. The usual Pirate, starting
team is expected to take the
field first but the second unit
should see quite a bit of serv
ice. Likely starters are Dave
Barlow and Don Korth, ends;
Jim Martin and Jack Rinn,
tackles; Ronald Baker and
Jack Hoffbuhr, guards; Gor
don Caster, center, and Gerald
Sloper, Leon Small, Dan Lum
ley and Mike Consbruck,
backs
In the other unit are Othar
Richey, Roy Lester, Doug
James, Joe Colfax, Les Baker,
Dick Lorton and Melvin Bush
nell. linemen, and George
Hand, Gary Colfax and Mike
Reese, backs.
If Eagle Point wins as ex
pected tonight, it takes Dist
rict 6 A-2. southern division
unchallenged and will meet
either Myrtle Creek or Suth
erlin for the full district
mantle.
