Tornado, Comets Open Conference Play This Crater high's Comets have calmed the Medford Black Tornado only once (in 1953) in seven seasons of football com ... petition but they've always batiled all the way against . formidable Medford clubs and ',. 1960's forthcoming skirmish is foreseen as no exception. i , The Tornado and the Com v ets go out for their eighth " i annual engagement at 8 p.m on Friday at the Medford '. stadium. It will be the first ' Southern Oregon conference . ruckus of the fall for each. .. "I feel that we are going to have a real stiff battle from . Crater," said Fred Splegel .," berg, the Medford . mentor. ;j "They have a fine bunch of j boys. They don't have so many j! players but they have some P good ones." , $ -Tornado gridders rule the i big favorites for the scuffle 5 but the underdog Comets re h portedly have vowed to "do the best we can do."

J They have been avoiding con t tact in practice but Spiegel- i' : New Loop Could Prove Big Boost 5 . By HAL WOOD I San Francisco -(UPD- If the j college presidents go through with the plans for the forma tion of the Great Western A'ch "letic Conference, western in- tercollegiate sports Jwill get V'their biggest boost in history. When the Big Five was -formed, shutting out the so- called "small" schools, the j'set-up for a new, conference was a natural. , Oregon; Oregori State, Utah, ; Washington State, Brigham ;Young, New Mexico, Arizona ; and Arizona State will put out 'just as good football as the ' Big Five-and possibly better. And the chances are strong '.that baseball, track and field ?and basketball will be better ; In the Great Western than it -Is in the Big Five. Rat With Big Eight If the Big Five fancies it- "self as the "Big Ten ' oi ;ne wit then the new Great -Western conference would Lrat alone with the Big Eight Mn the Midwest. Only differ "ence would be the fact that ithe Big Five isn't nearly as Vstrong as the Big Ten; and i the Great Western would be stronger and better balanced Jthan the Big Eight. ' i" There won't be any 80,000 .crowds in the Great western ;hiit if the schools can fill rtheir 30,000 stadiums, then ? they'll have nothing to fear. VA sell-out in a 3u,uuu-seai. cu. fice is better than 40,000 in : a stadium that seats 90,000r , Stanford, California, USC iand UCLA , haven't drawn much better than the so-called "small" schools this year.

SPORTS Red Raider Attention On Vikings Ashland - Portland State college comes to town Satur day night Jh an effort to get back into the Oregon Colleg iate conference race by im posing upon Southern Oregon college at 8 on Fuller field. For the Raiders of the Rogue, it will be their first OCC battle. The Vikings lost their opener last week to Ore gon Tech 19-14 in the closing minutes. SOC has proven it has a fine moving offense in that it averages 283.3 ' yards per game .in the air and on the ground, but they will also be up against a good cunning at tack In Portland State. - , Most of the week- has been devoted to defensive work in the Raider camp where the feeling is high on the Idea that so goes the defense, so goes the game." Coach Al Akins has been trying to bolster his defensive ends and one of the tackles. Linebackers i John Buck and Willie Garner were cited for their efforts last week in making many of trie tackles. Akins pointed out that this was made possible because they got so many op portunities. - Doyle Bransom, Ray Nolte, Syl Hunt, Jess Munyon, and John (Mighty Mite) Mills handle the defensive second ary in a group where Mills continues to be the standout. SOC's mighty mite weighs a mere 127 pounds, nut ne plays nearly the complete de fensive game in addition to running on offense once or twice a game. In his limited offensive role he has been averaging over six yards per carry. Gordon Carrigan, jack-of- all-trades, continues to head the quarterback list although frosh Doug Olsen will prob ably see more action this week. i With Carrigan at quarter. the rest of the backfield re mains the same with Bransom and Buck the slotbacks along with Al Barnes at fullback. ' Howard Hartman and Dave Hughes will remain the split ends, George Moses and Jess Munyon the - tackles, Tony Brauner and Willie Garner the guards, and Neil Green the center. , Harold Haugen, the highly touted frosh end, again will be sidelined this week with the twisted knee, but slotback Eldon Francis may see some spot action. Francis ran a couple of times in. scrimmages this week and appeared to be re covering at a rapid rate. On one play from scrimmage he scored from 20 yards out straight up the field. Arizona State Favors League Phoenix, Ariz. (UPD While Arizona adopted a ? careful wait-and-see attitude toward a proposed new western ath letic conference, Arizona State university officials have already committed : them selves. The proposed new league would include the two Arizo- schools, New Mexico Utah, Brigham Young, Ore- son. Oregon State and Wash ington State. "I don't want to throw cold water on the proposal," said Arizona ath letic director Dick Clausen, "but the only positive act on which we took action was to refer the matter to the presi dents of the schools involved through University of Utah president Dr. A. Ray Olpin." Dr. G. Homer Durham, the new president of Arizcna State university, is already on record as being in favor of the proposed new league.

Massacre By Huskies Anticipated By HAL WOOD Stanford, Calif. -(UPD- Uni versity of Washington, smart ing from a 14-15 upset at the hands of Navy, goes to the mat against poor, little or Stanford on Saturday - and the result may be a massacre. Not even the most opti mistic of Indian rooters be lieve that Coach Jack Curtice and his thrice-whipped crew will come close to giving the Huskies a battle. I was kinda hoping that Washington would slaughter Navy," says Curtice, "so that maybe they would go easy on us. Now I know they'll be out to murder us. . This is a national TV con test - and Curtice thinks that maybe the Huskies will pour it on in an attempt to regain some prestige. It will be a rushing vs. a passing game, with the Stan ford team taking to the air, if the quarterbacks can get the ball away before being smothered by the charging Washington defense. The man to watch for Stan ford will be Dick Norman, the country's leading passer last year - but no whiz this season. Norman already has thrown the ball 63 times in the first three games - an average of 21 attempts per tilt. He - has completed 30 Against this Washington quarterback Bob Schloredt lias averaged only six pass attempts per game. Norman doesn't have the great ends to receive he had last year Chris Burford and Ben Robinson. So this year his favorite target is fullback Skip Face. Skip, who leads the Big Five in rushing with 25 yards in 26 carries for an average of 9.4 yards per try, also is the loop's No. 1 pass receiver with 13 good for 123 yards. Face and Norman just about make up the Indian of fense.
