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

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.

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.

TORNADO'S OUTSTANDING PLAYER Jim Clark, above,
was named by his teammates as the Medford High school
football club's outstanding player for 1958. He was one of
two picked as captains-elect. Clark, a senior linebacker,
called defense signals for the Black Tornado, an aggregation
which gained acclaim as the state's top defensive prep team.
Named as Medford's outstanding linemen were Don Harrison
and Gary Winetrout, both senior tackles. Harrison played
mostly on offense and Winetrout on defense.
