Depth and Experience
The clubs, now knotted in
the conference standings, both
will carry depth and experi
ence into the ruckus. Each
started the campaign with a
sizable group of lettermen
and these and others have the
benefit of a full season be
hind them. Medford's crew
has been helped by a platoon
system which has allowed a
lot of youths to play and by
offensive and defensive inter
change when situations ne
cessitated or permitted.
Each aggregation has its
cripples but Grants Pass is
probably in its best physical
shape of the season while
Medford is hardest hit and
can, be real thankful for its
depth.
Medford's Tornado will
match its combine of power
and eruptive force in multiple
offense in a multiple and sin
gle wing and T attack against
the explosive T formation of
the Cavemen.
. Medford probably has more
horses" with the running
talents of Gerry Lyons, Skip
Bennett, Ron Reich, Dan Sieg,
Ken Durkee and Leonard
Griggs and the passing of Bob
Pond, Ray Konopasek 'and
several others but will sorely
miss the packing and throw
ing of Dick Ragsdale, side
lined by a knee injury and
the flu. Lyons is also trying
to shake off the flu bug and
may not start.
Dean Big Gun
Jack Dean is the big gun
of the Caveman ground of
fense and GP has other capa
ble runners in Marvin Terry,
Oscar Nealy, Hugh Brown
and Ray Meek and a plunger
in Larry Drake. Terry has
been hobbled by a leg ailment
and should see some service
although he may not start.
Dick Hayes is the Grants Pass
chief chucker.
Lyons has been the main
Medford workhorse this fall
with 97 carries and 374 net
yards. Bennett is next with
84 times carried and 280 yards
and Reich has toted 254 net
on 37 times with the ball. For
Grants Pass Dean has accu
mulated 494 yards on 72 packs
and Terry has 218 for 54.
The forward pass, mostly a
surprise weapon for Medford
in past recent seasons, has had
more use this fall with Rags
dale doing the biggest share
of the flinging.. He has com
pleted 12 of 26 tosses. Aerials
remain an important part in
the Grants Pass offensive
scheme with Hayes doing
most of the casting. He has
14 connects in 38 throws. -Other
Threats
Both clubs have their
threats on pass interceptions,
punt returns and kick-off run
backs. For Medford Don Peek
has run up 215 yards on 15
punt returns and has crossed
the goal on an 89-yard pass
interception run. Sieg on a
55-yard scamper and John
Harvey on a 49-yard scoot
have stolen passes for touch
downs. Reich has carried back
a punt 75 yards to the goal.
Terry, Nealy, Meek and
Dave Mannan are runback
threats for the Cavemen.

and defensively against its

.Miami Beach, Fla. (UPD
Young Johnny Busso asked
today for a February title
shot with Joe Brown because
of his upset non-title decision
Wednesday night that snap
ped the lightweight cham
pion's unbeaten string at 20
straight bouts..
Busso, of New York, who
tagged the highly regarded
135-pound ruler with his first
defeat in more than three
years, 'said, "They promised
me a title fight if I beat
Brown-and I did."
Busso, 24, weighed 1393,4
pounds as he forced 32-year-
old Brown about the ring in
every round. Johnny was a
3-1 underdog. The champion
scaled 140V. Since each
weighed more than the 135
pound limit, by agreement,
the title was not at stake.
Brown of New Orleans, but
now living at Houston, Tex.,
hadn't been beaten since Aug.
1, 1955, when he dropped, a
decision to Arthur Persley.
Busso forced the fighting in
every round and earned the
verdict with his long left jabs,
left-rights and shots to the
body. He kept the retreating
and side-stepping champion so
busy, he rarely was able to
nail Johnny with his explo
sive right counters.
Only in the fourth and
eighth rounds did Brown hurt

among contenders by the
NBA and sixth by the Ring
