MEDFORDJ&TRIBinil regoini Webtoots, Possible By HOWARD APPLEGATE Eugene -UPB- Few expect the University of Oregon to set the football world on fire this fall. But Coach Len Casa nova, in his ninth year here, might just have a sleeper. True, it's the youngest Ore gon team since 1951. Twenty- four of the 45 varsity players are sophomores, and only 15 of the players are lettermen. But Casanova has a swift backfield led by three speed merchants from San Diego. He's got a potential all-Amer- ican center in Bob Peterson, and he has Dave Grosz back at quarterback. Grosz, now a junior, has . shown flashes of greatness. He was the regular quarter backall last season. The trou ble was, Oregon lost' six out of 10 games although giving up only 50 points to the 93 it scored. The Webfoots couldn't penetrate the goal line when it counted. Has Matured' ."Grosz has matured and I expect him to have a fine sea son," Casanova said. Sandy Fraser and Paul Grover, who backed up Grosz last season, are out of school so its up to the 196-pounder ffom Kent, Wash., to handle the bulk of the ball-handling chores. Willie West, all-coast last season, and Dave Grayson, a speed merchant, are sched uled for regular halfback duty. They're both from San Diego as is Cleveland Jones, a five-foot-five, 150 - pound halfback who has been burn ing up the practice field.

Oregon Stale Bar To Hold Conclave Bend -0JPD The 25th annual meeting of the Oregon State Bar will convene here Wed nesday for a four-day session. Proposed changes in Oregon divorce and family laws will come under scrutiny. Officials of the bar said the proposals may be presented at the 1961 Legislature. . A Friday night banquet will honor active members of the bar who have been admitted to the bar 50 year or longer. Raymond Burr, star of the Perry Mason television show, will be guest speaker at the 7 pjn. dinner. CLCSTorrs Metal Voaihsr Stripping and Screens " ! Estimates Gladly . Phone SP 3-1014 Evenings Sleeper - Powell, a fine plunger who wrecked Oregon State last season, will hold down the regular fullback spot. The . end positions are strong. Still another San Di egoan, Alden Kimbrough, will hold down one spot .with let- terman Greg Altenhoren at the other. Kent Petersen, fine soph from Long Beach Calif., and Greg Willener of Eugene, both are ranked high Casanova calls Bob Peter son as fine a center as he has coached here. The first string line also has lettermen Tom Keele and John Wilcox at tackle and Dave Urell and John Willener. at guard. The big question mark up front is whether Casanova can come up with a strong second unit from tackle to tackle When Oregon went to the Rose Bowl in 1958 the teams' "Ugly Ducklings" or second string linemen, were among the top factors. Right now, however, the outlook is not too bright. Oregon will be an inde pendent this year, but is still eligible for the Rdse Bowl under the agreement with the Big Ten.

Walter Norblad, Republican dean of Oregon's congressmen, said Friday that passage of the Landrum - Griffin . labor bill was the greatest single ac complishment of the 86th con gress. ; 1 . -; Norblad, in Portland Friday en route from Washington to his home in Stayton, was an early supporter of the bill which he said had less than a 10-to-l chance of passage when it was first introduced. He said the bill would have little effect, in Oregon where he believes "99 per cent of the unions are clean," but will help end abuses by both labor and business in the mid west and east which were disclosed by the McLellan committee. . 2.

Riverside Phone SP 2-7119 pa s-unous ftiacK Tornado Slashes Marshfield's Pirate Lair 39-21 Mar. 13 144 84 228 15-7 That broiling, ripping storm which lashed Coos Bay on Saturday was Medford's Black Tornado. It wreaked its most destructive football havoc in 12 seasons on Oregon's south' western coast. The Big Wind of Pear val ley moved into the cove of proud Pirates briefly hesitat ed, then collected gale force fury. Result was a convinc ing 39 to 21 gridiron victory over arch rival Marshfield High. Triumph was the most decisive of three straight for Medford over the gray horde of Buccaneers and it was the first time since 1947 that the Tornado has thundered over Marshfield in the Pkate lair. Coos Bay's heftier prepsters struck the first blow in the non-conference combat of high ranked teams. But, the out weighed Black Tornado, prov ing the more mobile of the two, roared out to score off four long drives ah1 two big breaks to rout the Buccaneers. A defensive powerhouse in 1958, the Medford grid en semble seemed bent on estab lishing a new defensive repu tation s it thundered with well-rounded multiple attack in its -cond lopsided triumph of the year. Forwards Slash' A quick surging forward wall slashed the wry for a fine handful of shifty, sharp running backs as Medford ran up six touchdowns on the ball packing of Skip Bennett, Mike Hood, Dan Sieg and Ken Durkee and the pass pitching of Dick Ragsdale. Hood scored twice on eight and five-yard runs, Sieg on 15 and 26-yard gallops, Ragsdale on an in ches sneak and durkee on an 80 yard play which saw him take a lateral from, end Lowell Dean and race the last 55 yards to the goal. Ragsdale thumped three extra point kicks for coach Fred Spiegelberg's Tornado charges. Bob Burke and Dave Wood each went the final yard ior Marshfield touchdowns. Burke passed 10 yards to Rich Hughes in the end zone for another. Jerry Larsen kicked one and Hughes two extra point tries. First quarter of the game was scoreless. Medford led at the half 14 to 7 and after three stanzas 26 to 14. The Tornado had 20 to 7 and 33 to 14 margins along the way. Sensational Event Eighty, 64, 63 and 66-yard promenades resulted in Med ford markers.

Most sensational event saw a Marshfield threat backfire into Medford points. The second half was not long un der way when a pass inter ception by Marv Harris- gave the Pirates the ball on the Medford 26. Hank Windell gained to the 23 then Dick Shanley ''urted the Medford right end. As he did so, the ball squirted fromiiis arm. Lowell Dean grabbed it and rambled up the field. At the Medford 45, as Medford blocking form ed, he pitched to Durkee, who, well protected, romped away to score. Medford "outscrimmaged the Bucs 333 yards to 228 and out-firstdowned them 21 to 13 as the Tornado line sliced the Marshfield front wall to shreds in . a manner that Spiegelberg mentored uews had, not done to Pirate tutor Pete Susiok's cluus before A pass interception by Shanley, a virtual swipe from Hood, got Marshfield on a 40 yard march for the first touch down of the scrape. Starting in the closing minutes of the opening quarter and continu ing into the second period, the Pirates bulled their bulky way in 14 short gaining plays and three first downs to the goal. Burke went the last yard on fourth down and Larsen toed the bonus for 7 to 0. Slick Reverse The Tornado then went 80 yards off the following kick off in 12 plays and five first downs. Hood .toured around left end on a slick re erse for the final eight yards and' Ragsdale booted the conver sion. Ragsdale passes, to Jerry Anderson good for. seven yards and to Lowell Dean good for 16 and 12, helped along the drive and Bennett had gains of nine and 10 yards. Aerials again were an effective weapon as the Tor nado moved 64 yards on its second scoring splurge. Rags dale chucked to Bennett for 10 yards and to Hood for 15 and 17 in the eight-play push. After Ragsdale sneaked across the stripe and kicked his second extra tally for 14 to 7 Medford was ahead to stay. Time Runs Out 4 .. . . The clock ran out for the second quarter before . Med ford could capitalize on an other Marshfield muff. On the first play after the kick-off, Burke, trying to pass, was hit hard by Medford defenders. He fumbled and Lowell Dean fell on the ball on the Buc caneer 13-yard line. Before a Medford play was run the half time signal sounded. The Tornado called time-out to stop the clock but had used up its quota and drew a five yard penalty instead. Second half scoring was led off by the Dean-Durkee combination for the 20 to 7 advantage. Then Marshfield mustered up a " touchdown drive after Wood brought the kick-off back to Coos Bay 16. The Pirates inoved to a fourth down situation on their own 32 and the goalward impetus might have ended there but for a roughing the kicker ruling on Burke's punt. That gave the Bucs the ball on their 47-yard line. They fought to the one-yard line in eight plays and Wood took a pitch and went to the pay zone round left end. Hughes' bonus thump put Marshfield back in the game at 20 to 14. Cal Dean Recovers But, Medford immediately was on the scoring trail again, banging out from its own 37. Durkee, Hood, Sieg, Bennett Tru-Mix Concrete Delivered and Ragsdale all had ball lugging turns to reach the 15 yard line. From that spot Sieg zipped over right tackle and, hurdling one would-be tackier, cut up the middle to the goal for 26 to 14. A Coos Bay receiver fum bled on George Clearwater's Medford kick-off just before the third quarter closed and Cal Dean plopped on the ball for the Tornado on the Pirate 29. A Medford offside as the final panel started put the visiting delegation back on the 34. Hood made eight yards' to the 26 and on the next try Sieg sliced over the weak side and romped to pay territory. Ragsdale's kick made it 33 to 14. Marshfield concocted i t s last TD of the evening follow ing the only Tornado punt. Lynn Knight's kick went out of bounds on the Coos Bay 39. Shanley made six yards for the Pirates then Burke heaved to Hughes for 36 yards to the Tornado 19. After six more plays and once gain ing to the six, the Bucs had the ball on fourth down on the 10. Burke threw low to Hughes in the end zone. The f lankman made a .diving stab. Yet, it looked as if the ball had been "trapped" and not caught. But, the officials rul ed a completion and a touch down and Hughes added the conversion for 33 to 21. ' Passing Luster Ragsdale ran ; the kick-off to Medford 34 and in 10 plays with Bennett, Hood and Sieg carrying, the Tornado scored with Hood going the last five yards. Hood had gains of 13. 12 v and 14 yards and there were four first downs along tne way. . Bennett with 80 yards on 16 totes, Hood with 74 on 12 and Sieg with 74 on 10 were the chief Tornado carriers.

Baltimore Colts Should Repeat Gridiron Mantle By OLIVER MORRISON Baltimore, Md. - (UPD - The Baltimore Colts should repeat as National Football league champions. Thats a forthright state ment, but then we have to hedge a little. Coach Web Ewbank's huskies may have to prove they can keep win ning if and when all-pro quar terback Johnny Unitas gets hurt. No one said Unitas was gc- mgto get hurt, but football sometimes can be rough. And the Colts no longer have an other experienced quarter back since George Shaw pick ed up his option and was traded to the New York Giants. Ewbank thinks he has the answer in two sterling defen sive backs, Andy Nelson and Ray Brown, both working out at quarterback. . Sticks by Guns Fans and some sportswrit ers have been complaining 32 Lucky Again For Bev Hanson Atlanta -(UPD- When Beverly Hanson checked into Atlanta for the 1950 National Women's Amateur she got room 32 at her motel, caddie 32 at the club house, and won the tour nament. "I figured the combination of Atlanta and No. 32 must be the lucky one for me so when I ended up in room 32 again this time I sorta had a hunch I'd come through," the wil lowy pro said Sunday after she won the $7,500 Atlanta Women's Open. The Indio, Calif., golfer staged a dramatic come-from- behind performance Sunday to overtake native Atlantan Louise Suggs and caDture $1,247.35 first prize money. She went into the final round trailing Miss Suggs by five strokes and fired a 2-under- par 69 in what she cited as the best finishing round of her career.

Ar naz was released n $21 bail an hour and a half later. PULPWOOD EXPERT DIES West Haven, Conn. - (UPD' - H. Everett Brinckerhoff. 75. pulpwood and forestry ex pert died Saturday in Veter ans Administration hospitaL yavg 7 Pros Grab Hudson Cup Walla Walla- (UPD -The pro fessionals handily defeated which ended here Sunday. The pros took eight of the 10 individual matches Sunday to wind up with . .x 11-4 mar gin. Thy led 3-2 after Satur day's opening Scotch four somes. The pros now have won the cup 8 times in 11 years. Bunny Mason of Salem was the day's hottest golfer. He was 7 under par for the 31 holes it took him to defeat Ron Willey, Northwest Ama teur champ from Vancouver, B.C., 6 and 5. . tnat neither Nelson nor Brown have looked impres sive in exhibition games and have failed to move the team for the most part. But Ewbank is sticking by his guns. Ewbank said he did not know of a team in the' league with two reserve, quarterbacks who were as good, considering the amount of experience they have had. The other question the Colts will have to answer is wheth er tfiey can keep the mid-season form the team reached before the season even started. Probably they can. Ewbank said he believed the squad was developing at just about the right pace and coach Jim Lee Howell of the Giants said he believed the 1959 Balti more may be one of the great est of NFL clubs. Should Have Line Howell should have a pret ty good line on the Colts. His Giants edged them during the regular 1958 season and then lost to Baltimore, 23-17, in a championship game that pro duced the league's first "sud den death" overtime. The Gi ants also took a 28-3 thumping from the Colts in an exhibi tion game last month. 1 So Howell may be right. The Colts have in the "six tons of fun" an aging defen sive line but still probably the most devastating one in the NFL. They have a steadily improving defensive back- field. , ' . And that offensive. Sparked by the cool and deadly pitch ing of Unitas it is one of the most versatile in the business. The bull-like rushes of Alan Ameche, the slants of L. G. Dupre, the dazzling speed to the outside of all-pro Lenny Moore all complement the passing threat. MAIL TRIBUNE.Medford, Or.
