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.

Coaches of the Medford school
system is planned for Monday,'
Nov. 23 at the senior high
school gymnasium. Frank
Roelandt, head coach at Med

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.
Harris reported that tickets
will be limited to four per
person as long as the line lasts
tomorrow morning. If tickets
are left when the line dwin
dles away, they will go on un
limited sale.

Idaho To Make
Careful Study
Of Loop Tie up
Moscow, Idaho (UPD The
University of Idaho will make
a careful study of the econo
mics involved before commit
ting itself to any new football
conference, President D. R.
Theophilus said.
Theophilus said "no defini
tive action" has been taken
toward forming a new con
ference composed of schools
from Idaho, Montana and the
Dakotas.
Before Idaho decides, he
said, the school will carefully
appraise travel costs, gate re
ceipts and climate. He said,
"Idaho could hardly operate
in a league involving schools
where blizzards such as the
one which hit the Pullman
Moscow area Sunday would
necessitate cancelling football
games."
