LITHIA if V Hemispherical Combustion Engine v All-Leather Interior Power Steering and Brakes ' Automatic Transmission SEE TOMORROW W.d4y, Nov. 11, 1959 the Medford gridders who are undefeated and have won their nine games with sizable scores. Scrimmage contact is being avoided and coach Fred Spiegelberg has indicated the District 6 titlists in good phys ical shape. Fullback Dan Sieg, who has been troubled by a sore back, missed the Monday workout but was on hand yesterday. Spiegelberg reported the Tornadoes in a good frame of mind for the tussle. "They're taking the game as seriously as any game I have seen them take. They feel they can win but they feel that they have got to put out," the head men tor reported. . "It's going to be rough," Spiegelberg said of the game with the Pirates. Caught by Surprise Medford battered the Buc caneers 39 to 21 in an early season contest. They caught them by surprise and by con dition. This time Marshfield is expected to be much better prepared for the Tornado. The surprise last time was turn ing the single wing attack against the Coos Bay club after having displayed T for mation offense against Beav- erton the week before. Marshfield is expected to show an improved offense. The Pirates turned to separate offensive and defensive pla toons" after its battle with the Tornado but may go back to using a number of players both ways in the Friday has sle, according to Coos Bay report. Coach Pete Susick was either keeping quiet or just undecided on his defensive alignment. The Pirates will be battling for a decision- over the Tor nado after three straight set backs at the hands of Med ford, two last year in addition to the one this fall. Only loss suffered by Marshfield in the current campagin was the one to Medford and the Pirates are ranked No. 3 in state prep polls. Heavier Pirates Marshfield, District 5 champ, will put a club on the field which is heavier than Medford's. It's b a c kf i e 1 d threats are Dick Shanley, Hank Windell, Karl Coke, Dave Wood, Rich Hughes and Don Austin running and Bob Burke passing. In the line the Pirates have such stalwarts as Tom Erdmann, Gene Jenk ins and Marv Harris. Amount of action Jenkins may see is uncertain. He .was victim of a clipping injury against North Bend and John' Layton may be in the spot much of the time. Jenkins could see .quite a bit of of fensive service, however. Spiegelberg had some fine words this week for his de fensive players, such as Cal vin Dean, John James, Terry Earl and Reggie Breeze, who have been doing a fine job all year. He remarked that against Grants Pass, Lowell Dean did about the best de fensive end job he has seen. If not making tackles, he was contributing to others making them.
