Decide To Get a Little Better, Prothro Advises Players at Grid Banquet "When you lose, jusi decide which wins is the one which to get a little better," Tom Prothro, head football coach of Oregon State college, ad vised Medford and St. Mary's High school gridders last night. Prothro was principal speaker at the annual Med ford Lions club dinner which paid tribute to the Medford High state title runner-up squad and to seniors of the St. Mary's team, coaches of the two teams and the Medford rally squad. The banquet, at the Jackson hotel, was attend ed by Lions and parents and friends of the players as well as the honored guests. Commending the players for their perseverance on the football field, Prothro pointed out that one idea of the game is to give one's best effort but that the object of the game is to win. He said that the team East Quints Evidence Strength By FRED DOWN United Press International North Carolina State and West Virginia demonstrated clearly Tuesday night why they're early-season! favorites in the Atlantic Coast and Southern conferences. Both rolled to theif fourth straight basketball victories of the campaign but not be fore they proved able to re spond to pressure the pres sure of a late rally in North Carolina State's case and the problem of the seldom-encountered zone defense in West Virginia's instance. North Carolina State, rank ed fifth in the country and ex pected to bring Coach Everett Case back to the heights after several lean years, scored eight straight points in the last two minutes to beat Clemson, 56-54, while West Virginia, rated sixth nationally, solved The Citadel's zone defense and went on to produce an 89-61 romp. Lou Pucillo's field goal tied the score for North Carolina State and . then Dan Engle hardt connected with a jump shot eight seconds from the final buzzer to pull out the win for North Carolina State. Clemson had opened up a 54 48 ..margin, .with 4:43 .to go and seemed about to spring one of the season's biggest up sets. John Richter scored 14 points for State and Don Car ver had 20 for Clemson in a game which was tied nine times and had 13 lead changes. Defense Bothers West Virginia, the nation's No. 1 team last season, was bothered by the unfamiliar Citadel defense and left the floor at halftime with only a 36-30 halftime advantage. But the Mountaineers broke open the game with a 26-10 scoring edge in the first 10 minutes of the second half and never again were threatened. Bob Clousson, 6-6 center, had 19 points for the winners. The University of Detroit edged out Canisius, 77-75, Lou isiana State rallied to down Arkansas, 67-58, Tennessee re mained unbeaten with a 61-50 triumph over Wake Forest, Bowling Green whipped Du quesne, 75-61, and Hardin Simmons beat North Texas State, 83-72, in the other top games. Connecticut romped- over New Hampshire, 77-46, Niag ara downed Villa Madonna, 87-65, Georgetown beat Loy ola Md., 83-73, Texas A&M whipped Sam Houston State 81-54, and Upsala topped Montclair Teachers 64-61 in other games. comes closer to the "maximum effort," indicating that victory sometimes takes more than doing "the best you can." Title Natural Goal "The natural goal in foot ball is championship," Prothro declared. He stated that the horizon can be reached if players put their minds to it and don't set "smaller goals." Addressing particularly the Medford gridmen who will re turn next fall, Prothro said that championship " will be in your grasp if you put in greater effort than you have before." Because of the success and high honors achieved by Med ford this year, Prothro warned the Black Tornado that it had better get ready for the "vigor with which teams prepare for you and play against you." The OSC mentor said that he is a big believer in tradition. He asserted that tradition will help Medford "but you better be ready next year because everybody is going to be after you." Fevered Pitch He backed up his remarks by telling of the preparations made against Oregon State by its foes this year and the fe vered pitch with which oppon ents went into action against the Beavers. Prothro said that teams "up to that pitch play harder and do more damage. He said that OSC to get up to meet that challenge "to stay in there." The college mentor spoke of the season long injury woes which plagued his team his fall. Prothro was introduced by Lion Earl Miller, Jackson county judge-elect and ex Medford mayor, who was master of ceremonies. Coach Fred Spiegelberg of Medford high and Coach Bill McKibbin of St. Mary's intro duced their assistant coaches and players. The Pioneer room at the hotel was packed to capacity for the dinner.
