toughest Rogue league ruck
us so far this season this Fri
day night.
The Eagles encounter Hen
ley at Eagle Point at 8 p.m.
Henley last Friday crushed
Glendale 60 to 0. In an earlier
tangle, EP trimmed Glendale
32 to 13.
Henley enters the conflict
with a 2-1 loop record, hav
ing bowed only to Phoenix,
13-7. Eagle Point is 3-0 for
Rogue contention.
Pass defense has received
much attention this week
from the Eagles because Hen
ley's aerial offensive really
showed great prospects last
week end against Glendale.
Bert Allbritton and Gary Bob
ber completed 19 of 27 passes
for 318 yards with four pass
ex. going for touchdowns. The
Hornets rolled up 628 net
yards from scrimmage against
the Pirates and in first downs
had a. margin of 28 to four.
After the showing the
Eagles made in beating Illin
ois Valley last week end,
Coach Vern Steward is more
certain of his starting lineup
than he has been for previous
games this season.
On offense Steward likely
will have Charles Pomeroy
and Ron Weidman at ends,
Ray Peterson and Marvin
Cothring at tackles, Roy
Moore and Dick Wilson at
guards, Don Pestka at center,
Gary Ayres at quarterback,
Gary Stelle at wingback, Tom
Perdue at tailback and Bill
Sketters at fullback
Possible defensive starters
are Pomeroy and Weidman at
ends, Wilson and Dennis Lop
er at tackles, among Dick
Hertager, Stelle and Bill
Hoefft at guards and Tom
Perdue, Steven Geren, Moore,
Gary Ayres and Skeeters in
the backfield. Denny Cham
berlain at end and Dick Ayres
at tackles are slated for plenty
of duty.
Geren has returned to the
squad after attending the Fu

Tuesday drills because of flu.

however, if they successfully
defend their conference dia
dem and go into state titular
playoffs. The game will mark
the sixth home field action of
the season for the Black Tor
nado which is gunning for its
seventh straight triumph of
this fall.
Reno comes- here with a
two - win, three - loss mark
against Nevada and northern
California competition. The
Huskies, offensively, will pro
vide a reminder of Medford
several years ago. They use
the single wing, unbalanced
line attack. The Tornado once
used single wing predominant
ly. Then, it added T formation
plays and multiple offense has
evolved.
Goal Line Offense
Head Coach Fred Spiegel
berg and his aides, Paul Even
sen, Tom Marier and Dean
Benson, emphasized -offense
yesterday as they groomed
the Tornado for the Huskies.
One of the phases was offense
within the 10-yard line. Med
ford has scored so often this
season from farther out that
it hasn't had much opportuni
ty to make application of its
close to goal line attack. Ex
tra point conversions and punt
protection also got attention.
On Tuesday defensive work
got top billing.
Starting jobs werei indi
cated as uncertain at four po
sitions on the Medford de
fensive platoon. At the ends
it may be Rich Connolly or
Jerry Winetrout and Larry
Brown or John Hamlin. It's a
choice between Chuck Mc
Nair and Bill Hobbs at one
inside linebacking post' and
either Jim Barry or ' Jack
Lowery at a deep back. Barry
did not practice yesterday be
cause of a touch of flu.
Stan Smith Shines
1 Other defensive starters
for Medford likely will be
Monte Jones and Stan Smith,
tackles; Sam Knudsen, middle
guard; Al Funston, inside line
backer; Bill Charley and Tim
White, corner backers, and
Jim Stever, deep back. Smith
drew praise for his work last
week against Klamath Falls. '
For offense the probables
are Bob Quinncy and Larry
Hammack, ends; Terry O'Sul

John Pierce and Terry Earl,
guards! Chuck Holt, center;
Dick Ragsdale, quarterback;
Phil Humphreys, left half

MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, "i960
Crater High Primes
For Saturday Scrap
Central Point Crater
high's Comets, collecting
their gridiron strength for a
second Southern Oregon con
ference effort, have an extra
day of practice this week
and they are taking full ad
vantage of it.
The Comets oppose Grants
Pass at 8 o'clock on Saturday
night. This game will be con
tested, in a shift of site, at the
Medford stadium. It will be
the only District 6 A-l fracas
of the week end and the only
tussle in this area on Satur
day night.
Grants Pass has emerged
as a top contender in the cir
cuit. Now holding a 2-0 SO
standing, it can take over the
official top placing in the
loop by beating the Central
Pointers. Crater is ambitious
for its first victory of 1960 in
the league. .
"We're ready," said Coach
Leonard Warren of Crater
this morning. However, since
the fray is Saturday, instead
of the usual Friday, the Com
ets will "work pretty hard
again" today instead of hold
ing the usually light Thurs
day drill.
Much on Defense
Warren reported that the
Comets have spent quite a
bit of time on defense aimed
at stopping the power attack
of the Cavemen which is
headed by the running of
fullback Harvey Graham.
Some 45 minutes went on de
fense yesterday. On Monday
and Tuesday time was spent
on sleds and dummies with
the objective of improve
ment in blocking and tack
ling "Review" with no con
tact is planned tomorrow.
Grants Pass goes in to the
game with a three-win, two
loss one-tie record compared
to Crater's two victories, two
defeats and a tie.
The Cavemen have faced,
so far, what is regarded as a
tougher schedule. Crater,
however, has gone up against
the state's No. 1 rated team.
GP has not.
One common opponent has
been met. Grants Pass won 20
to 12 from Ashland which
beat Crater 27 to 26.
Grants Pass will be forti
fied at the left halfback slot
with Tom Hathaway, reserve
behind Dan Mclntire, on
hand again. He's been out of
action for about a month be
cause of a knee ligament in
jury. Only so-called "casual
ty" on the Cavemen crew is
Graham, who hurt a knee in
the Ashland game last week
and isn't slated to see service
on defense.
For the Comets Pat Pepper
has missed work this week
because of a knee injury and
Wayne Martin is handicapped
by a cutf inger tendon.
Starters Listed
Possible Grants Pass start
ers for offense are Larry
Lanssen and Ken Marshall,
ends; Ken Bastiari and Bob
Boyce, tackles; Gary Johnson
and Gary Stevens, guards;
Bob Plaendler, center; Bob
Lewellyn, quarterback; Mc
lntire left halfback; Max
Hull, halfback, and Graham,
fullback.
On defense for the Cave
men it may be Steve Ausland

and John Morris, tackles; Bas
tian, middle guard; Stevens,
Pfaendler, Walt Smith and
Hull, linebackers and Mel At-
McLoughlin9th
Faces North GP
What could prove the Mc
Loughlin Junior high ninth
grade's toughest football game
of the season is set for Friday
afternoon. The Bulldogs trav
el to play North Grants Pass.
Last week Mac was in its
best form, in whipping South
GP by 32 to 0 while North
was lashing favored Roseburg
19 to 6.
This week has been spent
by the Bulldogs on defensive
formations and drills with the
purpose of stopping the fine
running and passing of
North's Gary Van Koten and
the receiving of Tom Sparlin.
Time has been allotted to
McLoughlin's own offensive
plans which on occasion last
week did not look good be
cause of poor blocking of the
interior line and the brush
blocking of "the backs.
Coach Ralph Perkins said
the Bulldogs appear "down a
little" as the result of thf
South mix but that this con
dition will have to Improve
if North is to be beaten.
Game time is 3:45 p.m. at
the Grants Pass high field.

Sheds Te'ars at
Farewell Partv
By NORMAN MILLER
New York - IUPD - Casey
Stengel said goodbye to the
Yankees and "my baseball
writers" Wednesday night
with unashamed tears in his
eyes and a catch in his voice.
It was supposed to be a
"private party" given by New
York baseball writers at the
Waldorf Astoria but the guest
list read like a roll call of the
game's greatest figures - and
it seemed they all came to
euologize the man who is "too
old" to run the Yankees de
spite the fact he led them to
seven world championships
and 10 American league pen
nants in the last 12 years.
Sad Decision
"This was the saddest de
cision the Yankees ever had
to make," said Dan Topping,
co-owner of the Yankees and
the man most responsible for
letting Stengel go. "It was a
decision we had to make but
we wisli there could have
been another way."
Stengel dabbed at his eyes
with a handkerchief as one
after another of the baseball
greats and "just newspaper
pals" eulogized him. And he
temporarily lost control of
his emotions when general
manager George Weiss, who
also is expected to feel the
edge of Topping's axe in a
general shakeup of Yankee
officials, shook hands at the
end of the party.
"This is the first time I can
ever remember cryin' since I
was a kid," said Stengel when
he clasped the visibly shaken
Weiss, who also had tears
welling in his eyes.
