    edford To Tighten
After Last
Black Tornado Coach Frank
Roelandt will be working
hard on defense this week
with a stiff workout planned
also on offense as a result of
last week end's tight squeak
past the Corvaliis Spartans.
Medford won 58-43 Friday
night on the home floor and
57-55 Saturday night.
"Our defense is not what it

Seven PCC Teams
Capture Victories
United Prest International
The forthcoming Pacific
Coast conference basketball
race took on added luster to
day after seven out of eight
loop quintets captured victo
riest on the final Saturday be
fore league competition be
gins. The 1959 PCC chase will be
the final one and it appears
that it will also be one of the
most wide open.
Washington's Huskies el
bowed their way back into
the favorite's role with an 86
63 shellacking of Minnesota.
The Huskies lost three in pre
season play, but may have fi
nally jelled now that Johnny
Pariseau has proven to be the
back-court to go with the
Huskies' skyscraping front
line duo of Doug Smart and
Bruno Boin.
California would appear to
be second favorite for the
Coast crown. The Bears rolled
over Arizona 90-46 to end
their preseason play with a
strong 7-2 record.
Southland Hopefuls
USC and UCLA have also
looked like champion possi
bilities. The Trojans belted
Santa Clara 63-49 Saturday
and have shown impressive
power at home while looking
nondescript on the road.
UCLA bombed Denver Sat
urday, 71-57 with Walt Tor
rence hitting 24. The Bruins
dropped three preseason tilts
and are always a contender.
Oregon breezed by USF 64
53 in the All College tourney
at Oklahoma City, Okla. To
night the Ducks face Tulsa
with the winner gaining fifth
place.
Oregon State defeated Air
Force 49-47 in a thrilling
opening contest at the Far
Western classic tournament at
Corvaliis. The Beavers battle
Iowa in the finals tonight.
Stanford, a conference dark
horse with a small but expe
rienced crew, disposed of the
Olympic club 68-53.
Idaho Loses
Only Idaho lost among the
PCC teams. The Vandals
dropped a 69-60 battle to Utah
State, but this was no dis
grace since the Utes have
amassed the top pre-season
mark of the Skyline quintets.
Washington State was idle
but faces Montana State Tues
day and Wednesday.
Friday's conference open
ers will help settle things in
a hurry since California meets
Washington at Seattle. Other
contests Include Stanford
Washington State, Oregon
USC and UCLA-Idaho.
Saturday, it's California
Oregon, Stanford-Idaho, USC
Oregon State and UCLA
Washington State with all the
games in the Northwest.
The West Coast Athletic
conference clubs will con
tinue their practice contests
this week with loop play open
ing Jan. 9.
USF. defending champ of
the all conference tourney,
has taken a nosedive in this
year's battle. Tonight, the
Dons face Wichita with the
loser earning the cellar spot
in the eight-man joust.

Gator Bowl
Packed Full
Of Action
Jacksonville, Fla. (UPD
The fans were nestled all
snug in their seats, with vis
ions of numerous touchdown
repeats.
But the Christmas week
end Gator Bowl lived up to
expectations only in the first
eight minutes when Missis
sippi led Florida, 7-3. The
other 52 minutes were just
so much action-packed drama
to ice a well-done cake.
In fact, for all practical
purposes, the game was won
with Ole Miss fullback Jim
Anderson's one-yard scoring
plunge with the game only
five minutes old.
Anderson pushed across the
game winning touchdown on
the 11th scrimmage play of
the game, and he and his
teammates spent the rest of
the afternoon checking of
scrappy Gators with an inter
cepted pass, three recovered
fumbles, pin point punting
and a goal line stand on a
slippery, rain-soaked field.
But if there was a turning
point in the game it was mid
way in the second quarter,
after Billy Booker kicked his
17-yard field goal for the Ga
tors. End Dave Hudson had re
covered Cowboy Woodruff's
fumble of a punt return on
the 42. A 13-yard pass to Rus
sell Dilts and a seven - yard
pass to Hudson, both by 142
pound quarterback Jimmy
Dunn, moved the ball to the
10-yard line. Two rushing
plays gave the Gators a first
down on the five-yard line
and it looked as if Florida
was ready, to take the lead.
On the next play.i center
Joe Hergert's snap of an eel
slick ball was low and bound
ed past Dunn. Hanson Jen
kins recovered and the Rebels
stopped the first' of four
would-be touchdown drives.

Defense
The black and red clad
squad meets Klamath Falls
this Saturday here.
Tied at the end of the first
quarter Saturday and behind
at half-time, the Black Tor
nadoes squeezed ahead with
swishers from Jerry Shults,
forward, and Jerry Anderson
forward, during the third
quarter. Two of Anderson's
shots were rebounds and Dea
kins' shots were scored from
the outside. Both men scored
three field goals each in the
third canto.
Medford had a 6-point lead
with 3 minutes to go and went
into a semi-stall, to wind up
the third quarter.
The Tornadoes kept, ahead
the fourth canto. The game
kept the fans on splinters to
ward the end of the final per
iod. With 29 seconds to go
Corvaliis took the rebound on
a missed foul shot by Med
ford then called time. The
blue and white clad Spartans
then took the ball to the cen
ter line and tried to feed it
into the key. However Tor
nado center George Koch and
fellow guard Ken Durkee
quickly broke it up with
their tight, alert man for man
defense. After a wild scramble
Durkee came up with the ball
and Medford still only two
points ahead played catch un
til the game ended.
The straight man for man
defense and fast breaking
game got off to a swift start.
From then on it was run, run,
run all the way. Corvaliis
used almost no zone defense
Corvaliis weakened its de
fense and gave Medford an
opening for its winning push

outside shooting.
Morrow High Point Man
Spartan Keith Morrow,
guard, was high point man for
the game with 25 points. He
made 11 field goals out of 16
attempts. He was almost a one
man team, bedeviling the
black and red shirts with
fast breaks, keyhole jump
shots, lay-ins and swift point
making charges to the buck
et? Medford put in Durkee to
combat Morrow in the second
half and the Black Tornado
shaped him. The burden of
the game rested on the
shoulders of Guard Jerry
Shults, forward Jerry Ander
son, Koch and Durkee. They
went all the way playing
throughout the second half.
Anderson was second high
man of the game scoring 22
points for . Medford all on
field goals and many on lay

"Medford won the game on

Coach Bob Payne said. "We

Shrine Star
Crippled
In Youth
United Press International
San Francisco-It took Andy
Kerr, the 80-year-old wee Scot
of the coaching ranks, just
three minutes to explain to
the country's ton vouna foot
ball players why they were
competing in the East-West
Shrine game this year.
The bovs had been through
the Crippled Children's hospi
tal; they had visited and
"adoDted" a criDDled vouns-
ster, and they had been told
many times of the importance
of their mission. But Andv
pounded home the point.
There was a two-year-old
boy who was badly crippled,"
Kerr told the players from
both squads. "There was great
doubt he ever would walk. He
was taken to a children's hos
pital. There he underwent a
series of 20 operations on his
leg.
Learned to Walk
"Doctors said he'd never
walk without a limn-if he
ever walked at all. But this
boy wanted to be an athlete
more than anything else in
the world.
"He learned to walk with
out a limp. He finally grew
big enough and strong enough
to play football.
"When he graduated from
high school in his home town
of Pittsburgh, Pa., he was
good enough to be invited to
attend North Carolina State.
There he made the college
team and by the time he was
a senior he was such an out
standing player that he had
gained all-sectional honors as
a linemari.
"Shrine coaches thought
so much of him that they
asked him to compete here
and he's sitting among you
right now.
"Gentlemen, meet Bob
Pepe, six-feet-two and 210
pounds of fine football play-er-a
lad who came out of
Children's hospital to become
a great athlete."
If the athletes didn't real
ize it before, they knew why
tney were playing when Andy
got through with his talk.i
Coached East Team
This type of inspirational
speech was "old hat" to Kerr.
He has been coaching all over
the country since shortly aft
er the turn of the century. He
had been a coach on Shrine
East teams from 1928 through
1950.
Since then the amazingly
active little 120-pounder has
acted . as business manager
and adviser to the squad
passing on his wisdom of the
years to such able rnarhec nc
Duffy Daugherty, Blaton Coi
ner, jBenme Oosterbaan, Ed
die Anderson. Bissie Mnnn
Tus McLaughery, Beat tie
eathers and Bernie Bierman.
Andy doesn't stick his nose
in where he isn't wanted. Rut
you can bet your bottom dol
lar that when he speaks the
other coaches listen.
It's like findine a cold mine
of information right in your
own back yard.

said.
Enis was the only one of
the trio who had enough help

all of Enis' mates heartily

27-yard line. Martin sent in
Enis with orders to pass.
Instead, Enis noticed the
Arkansas linebackers playing
wide and decided to use full
back Jack Spikes up the mid
dle on a trap play. It clicked
for 39 yards and two plays
later Enis passed for the win
ning touchdown.
Turning Point
"That was the turning point
for Enis-and the team," Mar
tin said. "After that he had
confidence in himself and so
did his teammates. He proved
a real brainy signal-caller and
a clutch passer."
Enis wasn't the whole show
in the drive to the Southwest
conference crown, however..
The TCU offense, like Enis,
wasn't spectacular. But, it
was solid, and it got the job
done while the defense chip
ped in handily.
Spikes, a bruising 200
pounder with the agility of a
halfback, was the mainspring
for the running game, with
sporadic assists from half
backs Marvin Lasater and
Marshall Harris, who spec
ialize in crisp blocks ' and
tough tackles.
This running game moved
along at 207 yards per game

a 105-yards-per-game balance.
