Friday night and held on with
its high reputed, fierce charg

to barge into the
semi-final play-offs for the
Oregon Class A-l football
diadem.
Bob Pond pitched a nine
yard touchdown strike into
the arms of Gerry Lyons in

booted the bonus marker 216
minutes into the opening
panel to spurn the Marshfield

Drama Reoeats
Medford will have the role
of host for the A-l semi-final
and Pendleton or North Salem
will be the guest. 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.

Passing by Bob Burke to

unofficial 208 to 82 scrimmage
yardage edge,
The Coos Bay Buccaneers
fought from their own 47-
yard line to the Medford 10
in their most imposing bid
No other Marshfield drive got
closer than the 20. 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

Mike Murray, the placement
specialist, added the extra
tally as Medford unveiled its
secret kicking weapon of the
night i ,,

Marshfield charged out aft

its own 17-yard line to the

the drive new impetus and

The Tornado made it out

plays, the Bucs had a first

Heath dumped Burke for a

Winetrout and Frank Peter
son smeared the CB quarter

Pirate 49. '
Another Roughing Penalty
Medford lost eround in try
ing to move the ball and
Marshfield took over on the
Medford 33 when a bad snap
from center Denis Barr set
the Tornado back 15 yards
on fourth down punt forma
tion. The Tornado held the
Pirates to a scant yard gain
and had the -ball in its own
hands when the half ended.
Marshfield marched from
its 21 to the Medford 30 on
its second opportunity with
the ball in the second half.
Another roughing the kicker
red flag and 15-yard penalty
against the Pear city club
prolonged this threat. On the
30 the Bucs were two yards
short of first down. But Hunt
er lost two yards and Medford
took the ball. '
Fumbles by Hunter and re
coveries by Don Peek and
Winertuot for Medford in the
third and final periods dam
aged the Marshfield cause.
Rut Hunter redeemed with
an interception of a throw
by Pond.
A 22-yard punt return by
Peek touched off Medford's
second best offensive cam
paign of the night. The Tor
nado whammed from its 37
in eight plays to four yards
short of a first down on the
Marshfield 33 and Knight
kicked out of bounds on the
eight.
Clark Intercepts
Hunter gained four and
two yards for Marshfield then
Burke hit Johnson for 13 and
seven-yard passing gains.

Burke next was cnasea an
over the backfield but loosed
a shot to Rossi who squired
31 yards to the Medtora i.
Time was running out as
two more Burke passes went
incomplete. The Pirates were
penalized for having an ine
ligible receiver downfield.
Jim Clark intercepted a
Burke toss. Medford had the
ball on its 48 and ran one play
as the game sounded ending
the strife and assuring Med
ford victory. ,
Official statistics kept by
Barney Riggs, Hedrick Junior
High school coach, showed
Marshfield with 242 overall
net gained and Medford with
115 yards. But statistics de
cided nothing in this game.
Hunter Gains
Hunter was the night's top
ball packer, with 71 net yards
in 25 carries. Lyons had '47
for 24 times, Reich 37 for
nine, Golbeck with 33 for 16
and Rossi 30 for nine. Burke
threw on -.all 10 pass com
pletions, finding Johnson on
six for 61 yards.
A tackle chart listed Cal
vin Dean and Winetrout with
15 stops or assists, Clark with
11 and Jensen with 10. A
switch of iersevs nrevented a
Marshfield tabulation.
Missing the fracas along
with Murray, kicker and mid

don Pathman, also because of
illness. Both are expected to
be on hand for the state semi
LINE Gerry Lyons (20), Med-

Idaho Slogs
To 34-7 Win
Moscow, Idaho (UPD The
Idaho Vandals slogged across
a wet field in bitter cold
weather five times Saturday
to grind to a 34-7 victory ov
er Utah State university here.
The game was punctuated by
two runs that spanned the
field, one by Idaho and one
by Utah State.
The two long runs came
early in the first period and
brightened a game that was
heavy on both passing and
fumbles.- The teams played in
sub-freezing weather before
3,500 Dad's day fans.
The longest run of the day
was a touchdown jaunt of 99
yards by Idaho end Jim Nor
ton. Norton intercepted a
pass from Aggie quarterback
Rick Dobbins, and headed
downfield for the tally with
13 minutes left in the first
period. '

TOUCHDOWN PASSER Bob Pond, above, threw the touch
down pass and kipked the conversion Friday night when
Medford downed Marshfield high of Coos Bay 7-0 here in
state football play-offs. The pass to Gerry Lyons was from a
fake field goal formation with Pond lined up in the kicking
spot. The Medford quarterback is proficient at the placement
job but was in a new game role Friday. He usually holds the
ball for the booter. Pond, kicking, filled in for Mike Murray
who was ill and Fred Funston
down was reminiscent of 1956 when a pass on a fake kick,
Dick Copple to Bob Gee, helped Medford tie Marshfield.
