Bob Pond pitched a nine yard touchdown strike into the arms of Gerry Lyons in the end zone and confidently booted the bonus marker 216 minutes into the opening panel to spurn the Marshfield Pirates of Coos Bay 7-0 in the prep quarter-final struggle. roach Fred Spiegelberg' Black Tornado mounted only two sustained offensive drives but gained the goal on its second series with the ball Bright opportunity knocked when Walt Hunter, Pirate halfback star, fumbled on re turn of a Lynn Knight punt Medford tackle Monty Pen wpll Dluneed on the ball Nine plays later, ending a 36- vard Dush.

Friday or Saturday, for the gridiron show. North Salem met the Buckaroos last night in quarter-final play. October drama virtually re peated itself here Friday as the Big Wind of the Rogue valley reaffirmed southern supremacy by toppling Coach Pete Susick's Buccaneers for the second time 'this season. As in the 3-0 non-league scramble, Medford grabbed full advantage of the initial break in furious combat then hung tough with determined bruising defensive might to preserve a victory. The sec ond triumph, howover, was more tremendous and impres sive than the first. Marshfield's gray horde of Pirates pressured, with some five ominous threats to score and in yardage and first downs held offensive upper hand on the chilling night. They menaced with the run ning thrusts of Hunter, Gary Rossi and Les Golbeck. Yet, the stout Tornado crew, rising as a team, allow ed few long rushing gains. Headed by linemen Gary Heath, Gary Winetrout, Den nis Jensen, Pat McLaughlin anil Lynn Knight and line backers Cal Dean and Jim Clark. Medford never was out fought, out-hustled or out charged in suppressing the invading horde.

The Pirates made it to that line once and to the Medford 23 in the first half. They penetrated no deep er than the Tornado 30 in the final half when Medford's Knight and Marshfield's Hunt er engaged in a punting dual Medford, after its scoring march, moved no nearer the goal than the 33 against rugged Marshfield opposition in which Dick Shanley, Tom Erdmann and Golbeck took the lead. The Tornado surged 30 yards to the 33 late in the final canto. Knight punted out of bounds on the eight enabling Medford to with stand a spirited final Coos Bay touchdown bid. Penally Bugaboo A season long bugaboo, penalty frustration, almost wrecked the Tornado touch down effort. Gerry Lyons, Medford workhorse of the night, opened the push from the 36 with a four-yard slant. Ron Reich boomed 17-yards to the 15 on a reverse. Lyons in three more punches made it first down on the four. Ille gal procedure infraction then shoved the home club back to the nine. Lyons gained to the seven but lost two on the next play and a third down pass was incomplete. Under similar circumstances a field goal had brought Octo ber triumph. This time the Tornadoes changed the script. They lined up in kick forma tion with Fred Funston in the holding hole and "Pond in the kicking slot. But, Med ford's first line quarterback didn't boot. He heaved to Lyons, all clear in the Pirate end zone, instead. , Pond, a practiced thumper but surprise fill-in for ill Mike Murray, the placement specialist, added the extra tally as Medford unveiled its secret kicking weapon of the night i ,, Go lo 23 Marshfield charged out aft er the kick-off to bang from its own 17-yard line to the 42.
