Will the cli max and the ending be the same? Coach-P roducers Fred Spiegelberg and Pete Susick have changed the plot and may toss in some new lines. Except for rain-soaked turf, the setting is the same the Medford High school stadium. On- the same gridiron stage last October Susick's Marsh field and Spiegelberg's Med ford footballers enacted a tre mendous non-c onference drama of prestige. Medford's Black Tornado emerged 3-0 in a superb presentation of defense. Tonight, again, "the play's the thing" and state championship aspirations are the guiding theme. Curtain time Is 8 p.m. Seml-Final Berth Medford and Marshfield high's plunder-minded Pi rates, No. 2 and No. 3, -respectively, in prep gridiron polls, contend in the week end's top-billed game in Ore gon play-off quarter-finals. Winner moves on into state semi-finals next week against either Pendleton or North Salem. The Black Tornado, which blasted one Pirate hex in its 3-0 triumph and aims to bust another, ' enters the state's Class A-l grid play-offs for the fifth successive- year. Marshfield is back in the title running after missing the Dis trict 5 diadem in 1957. Coos Bay's Buccaneers, In the championship run-offs for the ninth time in 13 seasons, seek their fourth state crown in five years. Co-champs in 1954, they gained sole posses sion of the mantle in 1955 and 1957. Medford fell before the Pi rates in the quarter-finals of 1954 and 1955 and bowed to Marshfield in the 1956 cham pionship finale. The Tornado, victor over Coos Bay for the first time in 11 years in the October meeting, tries to shatter that play-off Jinx to night. Sloppy Field A sloppy field of play is in prospect for the returning en gagement of the gridiron dra ma. Weather will be cloudy and cold, the weather bureau has forecast, but showers at Jeff Picked To Top Wy'East in Breeze United Press International Jefferson high school was an1 overwhelming favorite to regain its state class A-l foot ball title today as the first week end of playoffs opened in four divisions. Fourteen games are sched uled, with six of them tonight. Semi-finalists will be deter mined in class A-l, A-2 and B and the finalists in six-man. Jefferson meets Wy'East at Odell tonight in what should be a breeze for the Portland school. Top game on the A-l agenda tonight sends Marshfield, ranked third, to Medford, ranked second. Medford had an early-season 3-0 win oyer Marshfield. Pendleton-NS Vie Also scheduled in class A-l is Astoria-West Linn at Can by. Pendleton and. North Sa lem meet Saturday night in Salem.

Gridiron conditions may again make the skirmish an other stirring conflict of de fenses. They won't be the best offensive movement. Marshfield brings to Med ford one of the best offensive records in the state and a 1958 season history of ade quate defense. The Black Tor nadoj with the toughest de fense in Oregon prepdom has had the offense to carry it to an unbeaten season record. The. Pirate powerhouse thrives on the running of half backs Walt Hunter and Gary Rossi and Les Golbeck and the passing of Bob Burke from T formation. It has wide variety in its bag of offensive tricks. Medford will have the run ning of Gerry Lyons, Skip Bennett, Ron Reich, Ken Dur kee, Dan Sieg and Len Griggs and the throwing of Bob Pond, Durkee and Lyons. It boasts a multiple singe wing and T offense with both power and explosive force. Murray Missing Medford, which platoons for offense and defense, and Marshfield, which has a num ber of two-way ' performers, both have fine depth. Both, however, will be limited to 33-man squads for the play off brush. One of the principals of the previous engagement will be missing Medford s leading actor of that night, Mike Mur ray, who thumped the field goal for the only score. Mur ray, a flu victim who ran a high fever early in the week, now has bronchitis. His de fensive guard position will be filled by Pat McLaughlin and Don Harrison, offensive tack le, will have the placekicking and kickoff chores. A jam-packed stadium is an ticipated for the clash despite the elements. There will be some general admission seat ing undercover " in the old grandstand. This will be in the south end above the walk way. .This seating will be filled on a first-come, first served basis. Area below the walkway is reserved for Marshfield students. Medford and Marshfield meet for the. 27th time since 1924. The Tornado has won 14 previous scuffles, the Pirates 10. There have been two ties. tonight in the A-2 quarter finals. Newport is at Bandon and Seaside is at Willamina. On Saturday Serra Catholic hosts Vale at Salem in the afternoon and Oakridge plays Eagle Point at Medford at night.

On Saturday afternoon, Mapleton is at Yoncalla, Mer rill is at Maupin and Uma tilla plays at Joseph., Two six-man games are set Saturday afternoon to deter mine the finalists.

Gel a bottia today at WESTERN THRIFT SPORTS IBC Appeal Studied by High Court Washington - (UPD Eight members of the Supreme court took under advisement today an appeal from the anti - monopoly k n o c k o ut against the Internationl Box ing club. There was no indication when a decision would be made - affirming, modifying or setting aside the judgment of a lower court, which had found the IBC guilty of monopoly in the conduct of title fights and had ordered "dissolution and divorce ment." Justice Potter Stewart, who took his seat on the court last month, disqualified himself from the case.' Tornado Gained Play-Off Fairly, GP's Fans Told (Editor's Note: The fol lowing story appeared this week in the Grants Pass Courier and was written by the sportswriter for that paper.) By BILL PALMROTH "We were robbed," comes the cry of local grid addicts, in reference to last week's highly controversial Medford tussle. But the Black Tornado achieved the state play-off bid fair and square. The Cave gridders played their hearts out and' more than held their own with their "luckier" rivals. Nothing can tarnish the record of this particular Grants Pass grid crew. A con ference co-championship is much better than being just second best. This team rebounded nice ly from an early season loss to North Bend, finishing strong. The 1958 Cavemen must be regarded as one of the best squads colorful men tor Mel Ingram has turned out in his 11 years at Grants Pass. Maybe some of their predecessors showed more of fensive punch, but these boys were tops defensively. If a few Monday morning quarterbacks still think the local gridders were short changed, they must have for gotten about the "uncrowned champions" of 1950. This team lost out on the play-offs on votes rather than net yard age. Since then the OSAA has set up a fair play-off system, as recommended by the High School Coaches' association, one' which should leave no bitterness or ill feeling in the minds of prep football fans. (Yardage system to resolve ties was set up by the Ore gon School Activities associa tion to apply to state title quarter and semi-final games. It is up to districts to set up their own play-off method. District 6 A-l last spring adopted the OSAA yardage formula to determine its quarter - final representative in case of ties.) GAL.
