t MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Wednesday, November 19, 1958 Pendleton To Bring Quick, Scrappy Aggregation Mere For Class A-l Semi-FinaD "For Pendleton it was first Ladd Horn and then Ray Sharrah hammering away at the Viking defenses on sim ple delayed bucks, with big Dan Eckles and Bill Cook clearing the path. Also in on the good blocking was Dave Fanfare With football still occupy ing the major share of atten tion, basketball is likely to creep on us before we know it. Some prep action is slated for as early as Dec. 2 in this area. Anyway, we're making an effort to sandwich a little basketball Into the sports pag es. ROELANDT WAITING Among hoop mentors ! lioctly waiting for lh end of the grid campaign is Frank Roelandt of the Med ford Black Tornado. But, all but one member of his 1957-58 squad plus some ether outstanding prospects are still playing football. Despite this possible dis advantage in cage prepar ations, Roelandt is hoping, like other loyal Medford backers, that the Black Tor nado will go all the way in football. The gridders de serre, he says. Medford won't hare its first basket ball game until Dec. 12 when it meets Marshfield here. The Tornado will be host to North Bend the fol lowing night. " Maplecourt eterans now with the football squad are Lowell and Calvin Dean, Jerry Anderson, Pete Ras mussen. Don Peek, John, Frohnmayer, John Harvey and Book Deakins. Only letierman now practicing basketball - Jerry Shults. Bob Plankenhorn is still in school but is ineligible be cause of age. 70 ASPIRANTS Some 70 aspirants, a huge majority of them sophomores, turned out for the first squad meeting of Medford high bas ketball last week. All turn out Thursday and there was some shooting around. Roe landt started regular drills on Monday and is working with 15 youths, four or five of them sophomores. The others, who'll be 'trying for junior varsity and wildcat spots, will have to wait to the end of the football season before starting regular practice.

If the play-off winner is dif ferent from the league champ, the two teams will have another game to deter mine the sub-district tillist. GAME HEARD AT BAKER Stan Smith, Baker High school grid coach, and his wife, the former Tommie Swoape of Medford, went out to a hill near the eastern Ore gon town and tuned in their radio to the Medford-Marsh- field High football game last Friday. Reception reportedly was good. Smith is a former Medford High and Southern Oregon college football play er. He tutored at Illinois Val ley and Eagle Point before go ing to Baker. MORRIS PLAY NOTED Editorial comment from the McMinnville News-Register: "Back on December 23, 1957, the late Herman Hick man, came out with a most amazing statement anent Jack Morris, the Medford boy who was then fullback for the Rose Bowl bound Oregon Ducks. In an article, "Inside the Bowls - Bowl Hunches by Hickman," the short, clipped telegraphic - like statements leaped starkly from the pages of Sports Illustrated about Jack: " 'Very fast but not a hard runner. He will seek to go around a defender rather than over him. Does not like rough going. He should be gang tackled as he is a threat when he sees light. First rate all- purpose kicker. Poor line backer (right corner) and not at all a good tackier.' "These words set all Ore- gonians agog and undoubted ly had some effect in firing up the team for its magnifi cent game in the Rose Bowl. "Now folks look at their TV screen Sunday after Sunday and see this man who 'Does not like rough going' and is 'not at all a good tackier' go ing into the defensive back field of the Los Angeles Rams' pro team manyv times in every game. When we have had a chance to see the Rams, we have watched Jack Mor ris doing a fine first year job with the pros. He is excellent at all-around defense, a good hard tackier and especially effective on pass defense. "It looks as if Jack Morris has definitely made the grade with the big boys and adds one more to the list of Ore gon boys making good in pro fessional football." yC Speedshavers Electric Shaver In The World! IP.L J.I. tm kiiaai.c ii never needs oiling, will run for Jh m-f:iilliLll Class A-l playoff football game. And, they sound a warning for the Medford High school Black Tornado. Medford entertains Pendle ton at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, in Oregon semi-finals. Winner will take on the victor in Friday's West Linn Jefferson of Portland tussle on the following week end in the Class A-l championship encounter. The Buckaroos have been described as quick-hitting on offense and scrappy and tena cious on defense. They have "good high school size. Bread and Butter Horn has been the bread and butter player for Pendle ton this fall but Sharrah has packed the ball almost as much. The two are halfbacks. Dennis Tyler, quarterback, has done most of the passing and he and Roger Rothrock, fullback, occasionally spell Horn and Sharrah in the rushing. Horn has packed the pig skin 135 times for 914 yards and a 6.7 average this fall. Sharrah has 757 yards for 132 times with the ball or 5.7 yards a chance. Tyler has 47 completions in 104 pass at tempts for a 45.4 per cent average. Against North Salem, Horn was the workhorse with 134 yards in 22 carries and Shar rah rolled up 109 yards in 12 attempts. Tyler completed one of four passes and it went for a touchdown. Pendleton placed six play ers this fall on the Blue Moun tain conference all-star team. Horn, center John Fossatti and end Eckles of coach Don Requa's Bucks made the first eleven. Sharrah, guard Gibbs and tackle Cook were on the second squad. 8-2 Record . Horn is a 165-pounder while Sharrah tips the beam at 162, Tyler at 182 and Rothrock at 174. Eckles is 196, Fossatti 188 and Cook 196. Bruce Corn- stock at 200, is shown on the roster as heaviest man on the team. The Buckaroos come to j Medford with an 8-2 record and are unmarred in seven games 'with Oregon high school teams. Their losses were to Pasco and Walla Walla, Wash. , Only Medford and Pendle ton common rival has been North Salem, which the Tor nado defeated 21 to 7 and which the Buckaroos turned back 26 to 14. The Black Tor nado met the Vikings in their first game of the fall and Pen dleton," of course, faced NS last Saturday. Chalk Talk Medford players only Mon day attention on the semi final was a chalk talk. They went over Coach Fred Spei gelberg's scouting report on the game. Yesterday Tornado squad members ran a lot, started working on defenses against Pendleton, ran through all their own- plays and had group drill. Scrim mage was of dummy nature. Illnesses nave pestered the squad. Tackle Gordon Path man, who missed the Marsh field mix, was still absent yes terday because of illness. Tackles Gary Heath and Don Harrison and end Jerry Wine trout were missing Monday because of colds. Back Phil Humphrey and guard Blake Taylor were not on hand yes terday. End Reggie Breeze cut his head in a home acci dent over the week end and missed both nights. Middle lineman Mike Mur ray, absent all last week be cause of flu and bronchitis, is back with the Tornado, and feeling pretty good. Only Few Our For Session of Court-Circuit-oniy Dennis Conner, last year's secretary, and four oth er persons were on. hand last night at the opening of a meeting called for organiza tion of the Medford Independ ent Basketball league for the 1958-1959 season. Conner said today that more interest will have to be shown and pressure will have to be brought to bear or oper ation of the MIBL will be sus pended this season. A representative of one other group appeared after Conner left last night's session and a third has indicated in terest, nevertheless showing that something may result from last night's start. Forma tion of a Rogue Valley league is possibly the reason for lack of the usual interest in the MIBL. V Each year, however, open ing of league operation is de layed by the reluctance of men to assume administrative positions of the circuit.

Overall Clatsop Season Darkens Hunting Picture Portland (UPD The state game commission said today final figures on two of Ore gon's controlled big game hunts showed hunters wound up with good kills. But it add ed that the over-all coastal elk Myers Chosen Coach of Week College Station, Tex. -(DPD- Here's a problem for armchair football coaches: You are nearing the end of your tirst season as neaa coach at a certain school, your team has just lost two games by the depressing scores of 21-8 and 33-0, and even the dumbest freshman on the cam pus knows that your squad is a 19-point underdog when it meets the team that is leading the league. Question: How do you make your players forget those two shellackings and get set up for an upset? Coach Jim Myers of Texas A&M solved that riddle with spectacular success Saturday when his five - times - beaten Aggies rose up to riddle Rice, 28-21, and knock the Owls out of first place in the Southwest conference and possibly out of a bowl berth. That's why to day he's being honored by United Press International as football's "Coach of the Week." Tests Confirm Schoendienst Victim of TB By DAN HANLEY. JR. Milwaukee -(DPI)- Second baseman Red Schoendienst, an "important guy" with the Milwaukee Braves, faced the toughest battle of his baseball career today - overcoming tu berculosis, a disease that probably will keep him from the diamond next season. Schiendienst, a 35-year-old baseball veteran, was plagued with colds and soreness in his chest throughout the 1958 sea son and it was confirmed Tuesday night he is suffering from tuberculosis, a malady which strikes without dis crimination. Confident of Recovery Although his doctors, team mates, friends and bosses were confident the Braves "little general" will make a successful recovery from tu berculosis, the possibility was raised that being off the play ing field for perhaps a year or more might make it very hard for Schoendienst to make a comeback as a player. "It is quite likely that he might not play next year," said Dr. Raymond Martin, who has been attending Schoendienst at St. Louis' Mount St. Rose Tubercular hospital since Nov. 12. "But we are optimistic about his full recovery." Malicious damage to street lights is a serious expense for cities and towns.

Seventy-one hunters holding controlled season permits al lowing them one elk in the Astoria watershed area had a success of 40 per cent. One bull, 2 spikes, 20 cows and 6 calves were taken during the one-day season. Illegal Kills On the dark side of the pic ture, game commission and state police personnel said that during the regular elk season in Clatsop county from the first to the 16th of the month, 67 elk were taken il legally. This total included 50 spikes, 15 cows and 2 calves. In the McDonald forest area where the season was extend ed on Nov. 15 and 16 for per mit holders, 1349 hunters bagged 278 deer for a 20 per cent success rate. Only holders of McKenzie unit permits still have one try left on- the last two days of the month when a small area is opened. Hogan Favorite In Links Fray Mexico City UPD As usual, the "little man" was creating the biggest stir. That would be Ben Hogan, who teams up with Sammy Snead to represent tlje U.S. Thursday in the first round of the International golf champ ionship and Canada Cup matches. Hogan turned in a one-un-der-par 71 Tuesday during a practice round which had spectators marveling over his shots. The field for the interna tional championship will be composed of 64 players repre senting 32 nations. Torakichi Nakamura and Moichi Ono of Japan are the defending champions.
