Bucs Mix in Ileadliner
Gridiron Playoffs
Pren
Medford High school's of
; fensive 'powerhouse football
. team headed for. 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,

He's a clutch player and elusive runner. Durkee will be on

Marshfield will battle back

Dick Shanleyy Hank Windell,
Karl Coke, Dave Wood, Jerry
Larsen, Rich Hughes and Don

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

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.

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
