Bucs Bring Potent
Offense for Grid
Tilt With Tornado
Can the Medf ord Black Tor
nado, with the best defensive
record in the state, once more
hold firm against the high
geared offense of the Marsh
field Pirates. And, can it un
leash a smashing assault of
its own to advance toward the
Oregon Class A-l high school
football championship?
That's what home town fans
are asking as the Tornado
girds this week for a quarter-
Kapp's Lead
In Offense
Substantial
Los Angeles- (ITT) -Quarterback
Joe Kapp, leading Paci
fic Coast conference candidate
for All-America football hon
ors, held a substantial lead to
day in individual total offense
and was comfortably ahead in
the rushing department.
The California signal caller
also led his team to the total
offense and rushing leads for
PCC teams, according to of
ficial statistics released today.
But he couldn't do much
about a leaky Bear defense
which placed the league lead
ers eighth in the nine-team
loop in that department.
Kapp has a total yardage
output of 926 yards, com
pared to 649 for Bob Hivner
of Washington and 604 for
Stanford's Bob Nicolet. Kapp
was also the top rusher with
470 yards, averaging 4.4 yards
on 107 carries, compared to
405 yards for second place
Charles Morrell of Washing
ton State. Willie West of Ore
gon holds down third with
375 yards.
The prolonged absence be
cause of injury of Bob New
man, Washington State star,
enabled Nicolet to take over
the passing lead. Nicolet has
completed 62 passes in 117
tries for 598 yards.
Niwman Second
' Newman's 49 completions
In 75 aerials gave him second
place on the basis of 511
yards, and his passing aver
age of .653 was still tops for
the conference. Dick Norman,
No. 2 Stanford quarterback,
came next with 42 comple
tions in 80 tries for 325 yards.
Kapp was fourth in comple
tions with 41 in 73 attempts.
Bill Patton of California re
tained his scoring lead with
56, followed by teammate
Jack Hart with 34 and Gail
Cogdill of Washington State
with 32.
Chris Burford of Stanford
eemed to have the pass re
ception crown sewed up with
34 for 373 yards, against 25
for 305 for Bob Dehlinger of
Idaho. Irv Nicolet of Stanford
was third-24 for 186.
Dainard Paulson of Oregon
State is the punting leader
with a creditable 42.3 mark
on 27 punts, while John Hor-
rillo of the Beavers Is tops in
punt returns with 15 for 160
West has eight kickoff returns
for 192 yards, best in that
department.
Oregon is the top defensive
unit in the conference, yield
ing an average of 219.6 yards
a game, and also is best in
rushing defense-145.7 yards
per game. Washington State's
passing defense was No. 1,
giving up' 60.4 yards a game,
just as its own aerial attack
was the best in the league
with 147.8.
final elimination game and
its second of the season with
the Coos Bay school. Medford,
second ranked in Oregon, and
Marshfield, rated third, tangle
Friday night at the high
school stadium here.
Marshfield invades the Tor
nado lair bringing one of the
state's flashiest offensive rec
ords and a defense which has
been almost as stingy as the
Tornado in giving opponents
yardage.
2,591 Net Yards
Paced by the running of
halfbacks Walt Hunter and
Gary Rossi and Fullback Les
Golbeck and the passing of
Jerry Burke, the Bucraneers
have rolled up a bulging 255
points and have piled 2,287
yards from rushing and 304
from , passing for a massive
2,591 total net. Coos Bay de
fenders have yielded 57 tal
lies and 1,176 net yards to
foes.
In comparison, the Black
Tornado with Halfbacks Gerry
Lyonsand Ron Reich and Full
back Skip Bennett the work
horse luggers and Bob Pond,
Dick Ragsdale and Ken Dur-
kee hurling the oval has run
up 182 counters and 2,171 net
yards. Medford has gained
1,560 on the ground and 611
through the air.
While Marshfield's attack
ing forces have surged more
mightily, Medford has the bet
ter defensive showing, giving
up one lone TD and 1,019 net
yards to rivals.
Kunier Arerages 7.4
For the Pirates individu
ally Hunter has averaged 7.4
yards with 849 yards on 114
carries. Rossi has 6.3 on 621
for 98 and Golbeck 4.2 on 328
for 78. Marshfield has com
pleted 27 of 75 passes with
Burke throwing 90 per cent
of the time.
Lyons heads the Medford
packers with 389 yards on 102
tries for 3.8. Bennett has toted
96 times for 312 and 3.25 and
Reich on 67 occasions for 284
and 4.24. Other top carriers
have been Ken Durkee 30-193-
6.42, Len Griggs 17-111-6.53,
Dan Sieg 28-96-3.43 and Rags-
dale 25-95-3.80.
Ragsdale, out for the sea
son with a knee injury, com
pleted 12 of 16 passes for 191
yards. Bob Pond has 185 yards
on eight completions in 25
tosses. Durkee is six for 10
and 85 - yards. Lowell Dean
has caught six passes for 133
yards, Reich six or 118 and
Pond seven for 70.
Pirates Edge in Yards
Despite Medford's tremen
dous defensive record for the
season and Mike Murray's
field goal which gave the Tor
nado a 3 to 0 verdict over
Marshfield here in the early
game. The Pirates had a sta
tistical yardage edge offen
sively and defensively in the
hassle. The Bucs had 28 yards
passing and 104 rushing for
132 net while holding Med
ford to an 83 total, 16 in the
air and 67 running.
And the Bucs have some
other fine defensive showings.
They held Klamath Falls to
one net yard rushing and
Hillsboro wound up with
minus 13 yards.
Coach Fred Spiegelberg of
the Black Tornado indicated
that workouts for the Med
fordits Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning were mostly
review and polish. Murray, de
fensive lineman and place
kicker, was laid up by flu.

Sutherland
Pullman, Wash.- (UPD -They
said Jim Sutherland's Wash
ington State football team
was a one-man gang which
would fold if an injury should
sideline passing wizard Bob
Newman.
But Newman, the nation's
total offense leader last sea
son and a top All-America
quarterback candidate this
year, was benched early in
the season with . a knee in
jury and has played only
briefly since. Yet Washington
State has won four of five
games since his injury.
The victories are a tribute
to Sutherland's emergency
surgery on the Cougar grid
machine. His 7-0 upset of Ore
gon State last week kept him
in the race for a Rose Bowl
bid and earned him the nod
today as United Press Inter
national Coach of the Week.
Sutherland, after a stint of
prep coaching and assisting
at California and Washington,
came here in 1956 after one
of the worst seasons in Wash
ington State history. He in
stalled a wide-open pro-type
offense which has put the
Cougars among the top pass
ing teams in the country. He
likes flankers. He shoots for
the long gainers and trick
stuff which sometimes can
give him the edge over teams
with better all-around material.

Schoendienst
Be Victim
Of Tuberculosis
St. Louis-(lIPD-Joy and sor
row came back-tc-tiack for
Albert (Red) Schoendienst.
Last week the switch-hitting
second baseman of the
Milwaukee Braves celebrated
the birth of his fourth child
and his first boy. And Tues
day, just eight days later, Red
learned that he may have
tuberculosis. . -
There is, as yet, no positive
diagnosis.
Dr. Raymond T. Martin, his
physician, put it this way:
"There's no proof of tuber
culosis yet but it's one of the
possibilities. Tests so far have
been inconclusive."
News Leaks
Martin said he notified
John J. Quinn, vice president
and general manager of the
Braves, of Schoendienst's con
dition after the news leaked
out that he had entered St,
John's Hospital for a check
up.
Concerning Schoendienst's
general condition Martin said
it was good other than that
he appeared somewhat "run
down."
Schoendienst, a German-
town, 111., native who spent
most of his playing career
with the St. Louis Cardinals,
will be 36 next February.
Swapped to the San Francisco
Giants in 1957, Red was trad
ed to the Braves in the mid
dle of that season.

Ryff Engages
Perkins Tonight
Chicago (UPD Frankie
Ryff's "comeback" campaign,
aimed at either the world
lightweight or welterweight
championship, runs into a go-for-broke
opponent tonight
when the New York star faces
Chicago's Eddie Perkins in a
televised 10-round bout.
Ryff, trying for his sixth
straight win and his 28th in
33 pro fights, was an 8-5 fa
vorite, mostly because he has
had more than twice as many
fights as Perkins, who at 21
is five years younger than his
foe.
Both Ryff and his new man
ager, onetime iigntweignt
champion Barney Ross, be
lieved he would win to possi
bly move back into the top
ten lightweight rankings. But
Perkins, who has scored as
many knockouts , in 15 pro
bouts as Ryff in 32, three,
could upset, and he planned
to do so.
