Saiurday TJight onii-IFinale' State Tornado Entertains Buckaroos in Scrap For A-l Final Spot Gridiron round-up. Pendle ton High school's rollicking football Buckaroos galloped out on their longest trail ride of the season today. The Bucs have roped, broken and branded all seven Oregon foes they've met this fall. But they anticipate a stormy cor ral session when they reach their newest destination-The Medford High schobl stadium. Medford and Pendleton meet on the gridiron Saturday night for the first time in their respective long athletic histories. And, it won't be just another ball game. For state championship- aspirations are at stake. Eight pjn. round-up time will set off a rousing conflict in the Oregon Class A-l semi-finals. Prize for vic tory will be a championship finals berth on Nov. 28 with either Jefferson of Portland or West Linn. The Black Tornado of Med ford aims for its second final ist appearance in three years and its fourth since play-offs began in 1940. This is the Tornado's fifth straight sea son in run-off rivalry for the state's big school diadem. Pendleton's scrappy Rodeo Riders, in A-l championship , contention for the fourth time in eight campaigns, are ambi tious to represent their school for the first time in the grid titular finale. Prognosticators have rated Medford the edge in this semi final play. The Tornado has its No. 2-ranked prestige to uphold against the No. 6 and 9 rated Buckaroos. Rankings, however, will be forgotten Australia Duo Heads Cup Tussle By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Mexico City -UPD- A little man from Colombia and two long-driving pros from Aus tralia led the fjeld in the Can ada Cup and International Trophy golf tourney today while such favored stars as Sam Snead and Ben Hogan took a first-round back seat. While the bulk of the largr est gallery in the history of Mexican golf 8,000 persons followed the famed Ameri cans, it was left to three oth er shotmakers to make the opening round of this four day tournament one of the most notable in six years. . Cards 3-Under-Par Miguel Sala, a ,thin, wiry man, who never seems to smile, had only a few specta tors following him, but he carded a three-under-par 35-34-69 over the Rolling Club De Golf course to take the in dividual International Trophy lead by one shot over Flory Van Donck of Belgium, Frank Phillips of Australia, Hany Bradshaw of Ireland, and Le opoldo Ruiz of Argentina, all of whom shot first round 70's. Phillips' 70, coupled with Nagle's 72, gave Australia the two-man team lead with a to tal of 142 - one stroke ahead of Snead and Hogan of the United States, and the Irish team of Bradshaw and Chris ty O'Connor. Snead shot a 35-36-tl and Hogan a 38-34-72 on this par 36-36-72 course of 7,216 yards. Both complained of being very tired when the first round ended, and while Ho gan said merely that he was "bushed," Snead heaved a deep sigh and said: "I could kill a tiger - if it was dead." Calhoun Takes On Tiger Jones ' New York Middle weight Rory Calhoun, a "wild man" slugger, fights Ralph (Tiger) Jones, a "mechanical 'man" boxer, tonight at Madi- - son Square Garden. Their 10-rounder will be televised and broadcast na- . tionally by NBC at 10 p.m. e.s.t. Because of his punch and youth, Calhoun pf White Plains, N.Y., is a slight favor ite at 6-5. Jones of Yonkers, N.Y., is well supported in the lively betting because of his methodical attack, particular ly to the body. For each it will be an im portant bout, confirming or disproving rumors that 24-year-old Rory's legs "are gone" and that 30-year-old "Jones is "washed up." Calhoun, ranked 10th among contenders by the Ring magazine, is trying to re capture a higher rating. Jones is trying to return to the top 10. when the Big Wind and Bucks go out on the field. For, as some Medfordite has remark ed, "With a fired up Pendle ton; team, we could be left standing at the altar." Pendleton sources have rat ed the Tornado stronger de fensively but not so tough offensively as Walla Walla, Wash., which thumped the Bucks 46 to 7. So, Coach Don Requa's Buckaroos practices this week, if they've gone as earlier announced, have con centrated "on the Medford de fense and how to overcome it." The eastern Oregonians are expected to rely exten sively on quick-hitting, Explo sive punches on the ground by breakaway halfbacks, Ladd Horn and Ray Sharrah, their big gainers' through the sea son. But Pendleton has a feared aerial threat in quarterback Dennis Tyler and he and Roger Rothrock also can pack the ball. Coach Fred Spiegelberg's Medford team will counter with its less heralded multiple T and single wing offense with halfbacks Gerry Lyons and Ron Reich the running leaders and 'Lyons, quarter back Bob Pond and halfback Ken D u r k e e the passing threats. i Both clubs are essentially ground clubs. Medford has used the pass as a spot weapon but occaisonally has mounted a spirited aerial onslaught. Tomorrow could be an eve ning of the dramatic and un expected, with bags of tricks wide open, for Coaches Spie gelberg and Requa, depending on how the game progresses, may have their clubs pull out all stops in the effort to reach the final game. Characteristics of the squad point to a high pitched skirmish. Pendleton fields a somewhat lighter, younger team but compen sates with scrap, quickness, sharp timing, hustle and speed. That Medford has a real zest for battle cannot be denied. Pendleton, putting its 8-2 record against Medford's un beaten, once-tied year's per formance, has lost only to Washington schools this fall. The Blue Mountain champ comes here immediately after a 26-14 decision over North Salem which poked over the lone touchdown scored against Medford this fall. Medford's 21 to 7 triumph over the Vik ings was at the start of the season. Pendleton's win came in A-l quarter-finals. The Tor nado topped Marshfield 7 to 0 in its quarter-final fray. Tornado stalwarts took to the practice field today for their final preparation meas ures. The Buckaroos, 33 strong,, plus coaches, were on their way by bus to Medford. Pendleton's squad was to leave home at 8 ajn. today and lunch at 11 ajn. at Port land. An afternoon drill on the University of Oregon campus and dinner at Eugene was planned. The team will stay Friday and .Saturday nights at the Medford. While Medford stays at home for two successive games, Pendleton is on .the road for the second week end in a row, adding a 990-mile round trip to a 500-mile jour ney last week end for the quarter-final game. Lyons, the Black Torna do's most used ball packer, boosted his season total to 434 yards with 23 carries in the Marshfield game. He now has a season figure of 125 times with the ball and a 3.47 per carry average. Bennett has packed 100 times for 319 yards or 3.19 per try. Reich has a 323 yard total on 75 packs. for 4.3. Durkee is 197 on 31 times and 6.35 per try. Statistics for Leonard Griggs stay at 17-111-6.53 and for Dan Sieg at 29-98-3.38. Bob Pond has completed 10 of 30 passes for 193 yards and Durkee six for 10 for 85. Medford won't have on hand Dick Ragsdale who connected on 12 of 226 tries for 191 yards before injury in the Ashland game. Main receiv ers are Lowell Dean with 139 yards on seven catches and Reich with 118 on six snares.
