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

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.

Details Done
Not only have the down

Durrance said that Andrea

the alpine course and the

Durrance said "no technical
experts have been dismissed"
by the Olympic committee

structure."
"I am confident," Durrance,
who is volunteering his serv

The District 7 team has

in its own A-2 class this year.
Eagle Point reached the semi
final with a 33 to 6 verdict
over Oakridge last week end
after Vale smashed Serra
Catholic 40 to 6.
Hefty Team
The Eagles match their
wing T offense and the run
ning of the three Bills, Tur
ner, McClure and Skeeters,
against the straight single
wing powered mainly by the
running of Dick Fulwyler and
Bob Bates. Fulwyler is a 195
fullback who is second lead
ing scorer in the state this
fall and Bates, 180-pounder
has also piled up substantial
yardage and thrown numer
ous touchdown .passes to end
Charles Becker.
Eagle Point's three Bills,
themselves will pack an im
pressive offensive record into
the hassle. Turner has 987
yards on 99 carries and 83
points. Skeeters has 947 ; ards
on 139 times with the ball and
90 markers while McClure
has had 83 chances and
gained 766 yards. He's run up
61 points.
Eagle Point will be up
against the heftiest A-2 club
it's faced all year. And that
makes stopping the Viking at
tack and striking against it an
equally tough assignment.
The Eagles will go against a
Viking defensive line in which
the five men are all 195
pounds or better. They work
ed on means this week of
opening up its own attapk.to
open up the Vale defenses.
They hope from there to de
pend on their own mobility.
High Scoring
Vale has scored 32 or more
points in all but one game it
played this year. Ontario lost
to the Vikings just 19 to 6.
Biggest Vale margin was 54
to (Lover Payette, Idaho. Only
McLoughlin of Milton-Free-water
scored heavily against
the Vikings. That count was
32 to 27. No other club has re
corded more than one touch
down against them, and six
foes went scoreless.
Eagle drill yesterday fea

The Eagles drop their ends
back to do the blocking and
