UU UUCUIUULO naLcu j D-Point favorites Eugene -&TD- Oregon was rated a 10-point favorite over Oregon State today for their 63rd anual "Civil War" foot ball battle here Saturday. , However, Oregon which Still has a Rose Bowl chance, was anything but overconfi dent. Oregon State has shown the ability to rise to the oc casion this fall, in nearly beating Washington and com ing from behind to down Cal ifornia. Coach Len Casanova saia injured center Bob Peterson was still on the doubtful list with a leg injury suffered against California. But . Joe " Clesceri, who filled in for Peterson against Washington State, played well enough to be picked as Oregon's college football player of the week. Huskies Mill WSU If Oregon "wins over the Beavers and Washington State upsets Washington in Seattle, Oregon would be 9-1 for the season to 8-2 for the Huskies. Both of the teams have lost to former members of the PCC-Oregon by a 13-12 count to Washington and Washing- . emithsrn fTalifnrnia. -WU ... wwmm.w. mm 7 ' But Oregon and Oregon state nave a nuoii ot paying ' little .attention to.

SPORTS Medford Hoop Mentors Meet A meeting of all basketball Coaches of the Medford school system is planned for Monday,' Nov. 23 at the senior high school gymnasium. Frank Roelandt, head coach at Med ford high4 will go over the Medford system of play.: Black Tornado Will Aim To Keep Speed of Saxon Football Crew In Check Can the, Medford Black Tor nado once . m ore keep the South Salem speed in check? That was one of the big questions asked this week as the Medford high football team girded for its second clash this season with the Sax ons of Oregon's capital city. The two contingents vie at 8 p.m. Friday in McCulloch stadium in Salem. Medford won an early season kings-x battle 39 to 6. This time more wilt be at stake. The Tornado and Saxons match strength in Oregon Class A-l grid playoff semi-finals. Winner '. will ad vance into the championship game next week against Jef ferson or David Douglas. " Harp Spttdster Speed has been in recent years a South Salem football forte and it's been true again this season. Only Medford and Milwaukie have effectively contained the Saxons. The Sa lemites have scored at . least three touchdowns In every other game and are undefeat ed since their Medford .trip.; . Heading the winged footed Salem runners is Ron . Harp. The 175-pound fullback was 1958 state 100-yard dash champ and is capable of a :09.8. He's a power runner, too. Harp did not have a big night in the early Medford game, netting just 24 yards. And, he lost his No. 1 assign ment for a time to Dale Mey ers, a hard plunging back who did better against the Black Tornado. But, Harp reported ly 'lias made a comeback and is running strong. Harp's fellow speedesters are Kenny Sawyer, Kim Clark and Don Royce. Sawyer leads the club in touchdowns with nine, Harp has seven, Meyer six and Clark five. The Saxons have relied on 137 pound senior quarterback Ed Swearingen as main field general since the Medford jaunt. He won the spurs from Steve Stewart, a junior who started the Medford game. Unbalanced T formation Sai lem used passing little prior to the first Tornado tilt. Against Medford the, Saxons threw 10 times with just two completions and four-yard net result. South Salem passing now, however, is a weapon which could - open up. the game. A talented Saxon re ceiver is John King. , Bounced Back .. The South Salemites have bounced back this season after a third place finish in District 8 in 1958. They had won . or knotted for district honors each previous year , since the school went into operation in 1954. The Saxons are reported in good physical shape, except for tackle Woody Bennett who has an ailing knee. - Medford, itself, has lots of speed and power, as fans have seen and records show. In fact, there's potential for a high scoring fracas on the Mc Culloch turf if the weather improves. ;,; Tickets for the game go on sale at 7 o'clock " Thursday morning at the Medford Sen ior High school office. Princi pal Lester Harris explained that the tickets are not exact ly for reserved seats but for a reserved section. Some 300 tickets are being sent here.
