Coos Bay to day intent on a second 1959 ' triumph over the Marshfield Pirates. Only prestige was involved in' the first encounter which the Slack Tornado took 39 to 21. But the one tonight, with kick-off at 8. o'clock, is more important. State title dreams of the Tornado and the Pi rates hinge on its outcome. With Medford rated No. 1 , and Marshfield No. 3 for this fall's A-l competition, the .Coos Bay fracas is ranked the top attraction in this week end's state 11-man quarter finals in three Oregon classi fications. , The Black Tornado, unde feated in nine scuffles, is the prognosticators' pick in the tangle with the Buccaneers, Josers this fall only to Med ford. The Whirlwind from the Pear city has the attitude that "what has been done can be done again." But, it also has the knowledge that the job may take some extra doing. Multiple Offenses f A battle of multiple of fenses shapes up on the Coos Bay turf. Medford has a high ly versatile attack with both the T and single wing. Marsh field has much variety from its T formation. The Tornado hopes to benefit from its all round speed against a weight ier Marshfield line. Pirates on the forward wall average near 200 pounds per man while the Medford average Is beneath 190 pounds. : The Tornado will have the running, passing and general ship of Dick x Ragsdale and Ray Konopasek, the ball pack ing, pitching and catching of Mike Hood, the toting of Skip GO TEAM BACK Ken Durkee, above, 156-pound senior, is left halfback on the Go Team unit bf the Medford high football squad and safety on the Rogue River Bandit platoon. He's a clutch player and elusive runner. Durkee will be on the field at Coos Bay this evening in Medford's effort against Marshfield in state A-l quarter-finals. ' Bennett, Ken Durkee, Len Griggs and Dan Sieg and the pass receiving of Lowell Dean and Jerrv Anderson as a broad threat against the Buc caneers. Marshfield will battle back with the passing and direction of Bob Burke,. the running of Dick Shanleyy Hank Windell, Karl Coke, Dave Wood, Jerry Larsen, Rich Hughes and Don Austin. Jerry ; Weekly and Marv Harris are main flank men for pass receptions. Talented Players The game will feature a number of the most talented players in the state. Several are almost certain to get all state recognition. A squad of 35 Medford high players made the trip to Coos Bay today. Only 33 will be permitted to be on the field in uniform because of squad SPORTSCASTS Radio stations' KYJC (1230 Ice) and KMED (1440 kc) will broadcast the Med ford - Marshfield football gam tonight, starting at 8 o'clock.

The Tornado concluded drill for the fracas with its usual ' Thursday ' " light but thorough work. Head coach Fred Spiegelberg reportedly was leaving no stone unturned in preparation' and had the squad working with wet balls, just , in case - the game is dampened by rain..

Offensive Tilt Likely Saturday Corvallis -(UPD- Coach Tom my Prothro of Oregon State today predicted an offensive battle in Saturday's football game with- Stanford's pass minded Indians here. "We have to do some scor ing ourselves to win this one," Prothro said. The Beavers worked out only 10 minutes today, but had a 90-minute drill Thurs day. Oregon State's biggest prob lem will be to stop the Bill Norman-to-Chris Burford air arm. But the Beaver coaches said they figured the Indians also would be tough to stop on the ground. Paulson May Start ' Coach Jack Curtice of Stan ford counted several injur ies among his first line play ers but Norman and Burford, plus other receivers such as Skip Face, John Bond, Ben Robinson and Dick Bowers, were in good shape. Prothro indicated he may go with the same lineup that started against . Washington last week end although Aaron Thomas might start at end in place of Don Thiel. The back field will start with Dainard Paulson, Ron Miller, Bob Far rell and Jim Stinette. Both teams have 2-6 sea son's records. Oregon State is rated a slight favorite.

Ashland - Eight seniors are slated for action in their last collegiate football game Sat urday when the Southern Oregon .college Raiders battle Humboldt State college on Fuller field at 8 p.m. Three of the group are first string offensive players ;for the Raiders this year,' two others have been .alternating on the first offensive team, and the remaining three are members of the defensive crew. Jack Brown and Lance Locke will finish their quar terbacking1 chores Saturday with- Brown' getting the start ing nod. Troy Bellah and Jim Tac- chini, both interior linemen, will play in their final grid battle along with wingman, Jim McAbee. Dick (Hughie) Smith, Phil Sword, and Andy Travis will see their last action on de fense of SOC. Smith is a tack le, Travis an end, and Sword is the linebacker and defens ive signal caller.. ' . Replacements Aplenty Although the loss' of the seniors will be felt next year, the Raiders have ' plenty of replacements coming up in the form of "Harper's Raid ers" and a number of . ' non graduating upperclassmen. . Eligibility-wise, only two juniors 'will be lost from the main . defensive unit, thus leaving . nine freshmen and sophomores to take up the slack. - On offense the Raiders will have, to fill an end slot, a tackle, and the signal call ing responsibilities. Evident ly, the Raiders show promise of great things to come with numerous replacements avail able.: '.' Even though this, is true, Raider " coach Al Akins has been trying to impress the battle with Humboldt State is the problem at hand and that fiirst things come first. A ; w i n for the Raiders would give them a winning season and a 5-4 record. A loss would, of cpuse, result in just the contrary. SPORTS 1 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 1U Friday, Nov. 13, 1959 Peterson Slated for Much Duty Eugene -(UPD-Oregon's foot ball hopes against Washington State for Saturday's key game at Pullman were bol stered today with' word that ail-American center candi date Bob Peterson may see considerable action. . Peterson suffered a leg in jury in. the California game last week end and has been taking it easy all week. Train er Bob Officer, after taping the leg, said the Coos Bay youth should be able to play much of the game. . Peterson has started 24 straight games ' for Oregon since he took over mid-way in the 1957 Season "for injured Norm Chapman -who broke his leg against the Cougars at Pullman. ..." Urell To Play - Guard Dave Urell, who also is nursing a leg injury, is ex pected to play? too. ( (A lot is riding on the out come of this one. Both Oregon and WSU nurse Rose Bowl hopes. If the Cougars win over Oregon and then beat Washington a week from Saturday they should get the Pasadena nod. Oregon has to beat the Cou gars then OSC next week and hope Washington loses one of its final two games to get its second Rose Bowl bid in three years. Huskies Eye Another Step Toward Bowl By HAL WOOD IT-;.,- T5 t.i....:.Ai wasnington s Huskies, pilot ed by a one-eyed quarterback, take another big step on the road, to the Rose Bowl Satur day when they battle with the badly-b a 1 1 e r e d California Golden Bears in Berkeley. The Huskies are favored be cause of their fine record, which shows only one defeat this season to US? and be cause of the all-around bril liance of Bob Schloredt, then pilot. Schloredt is the second leading passer in the Big Five; is second in total offense and is one of the leading punters in the country. Against this, California has won only one" game all sea son. The Bears have been tough on occasions and push overs on others. If they are "right" it cold be a battle. USC Faces Baylor . Meanwhile, down in the south, the unbeaten, untied Southern California Trojans, third-rated team in the nation, battle oft-beaten Baylor. . ' But if this 'sounds like a pushover don't believe it. Baylor has won only three and lost four games. But last week the Bears came up with their greatest performance of the season-only to lose a one point decision to Texas, the second-rated team in the na tion. . A convincing win over Bay lor by the Trojans conceiv ably could move USC up another notch in the ratings, right behind Syracuse. Stanford goes north to tangle with Oregon State at Corvallis and pessimism is the keynote. Even coach Jack Curtice is worried more than usual. Among the other pob- lems that come out of the In dians' 55-13 ousting by .UCLA is the fact that three men, starting guards Don Peter and Tom Walsh and fullback Archie Schmitt, are out for the season wth injuries. Bruins May Be Rolling i . UCLA, flexing the muscles after the trouncing 'of Stan ford, could do the same thing tonight (Friday) against North Carolina State. The Bruins Re lieve they are rolling now and they came up against a team that hasn't won a game since the -first tijt of the sea son. During the loss skein, the Staters have been whipped by such clubs as Mississippi DENY LANZA REPORTS Rome UPI)-Police officials Thursday denied printed re ports they were making an inquiry into the death of sing er Mario Lanza last month.
