Oregon, now 8-2 for the sea son, posed a scoring threat nearly every time it had the ball. The Webfoots had to punt twice all afternoon. Grosz, a versatile senior, threw scoring passes of 25 and 16 yards the 5-foot-3 inch Jones in the second period that broke the game wide open. Stanford, which suffered its eighth straight defeat, looked as if it would make a game of it in the first quarter. After Oregon marched 75 yards to score the first time it had the ball, the Indians bounced right back with a 59-yard touchdown drive of their own. A 19-yard pass from Dick Nor man to end Steve Pursell set up a 1-yard touchdown plunge by halfback Gil Dowd. But then Oregon's defense held the Indians in check. See the World's Safest Power Saws!

Don't miss out come in tomorrow! 1 ULLER PAINT t GLASS STORES the Cavemen loomed as Med ford's toughest of the season. And, it certainly started out that way. Grants Pass yielded stubbornly to the battering Big Wind assault and fought back with strong offensive charge. But, the Cavemen could not hold the high-geared Medford gang. The Tornado's own defense tightened in the clutch on GP's strong early drive then became stoutly and sternly resistant. By halftime Medford led by 20 to 0. The second half turned into a rout. Pairs of TDs Phil Humphreys, Mike Hood and Dan Sieg each tab ulated twice for Medford. Lar ry Blew boomed for touch- .down No. 8. Dan Miles kicked three extras and Bill Heyer- man booted a conversion once. Grants Pass gained its lone TD on a drive of four com pleted passes. Dan Mclntire Ditched to Ken Marshall in the end zone with just two seconds on the clock The Tornado, going to touchdowns the first, second and third times it got the ball each in the first and second halves, scored off five long punches and turned a pass in terception, a poor quick kick and two fumbles into touch downs. Quarter counts were 6 to 0, 20 to 0 and 33 to 0. Medford might have eased the battle in the final period but the Cavemen persisted in playing like their name. They seemed to enjoy mayhem more than football. So, the Tornado revved up its breeze for a couple more TDs. Goes 59 Yards The Breeze promenaded 59 yards for its opening marker. A 30-yard gain on a reverse by Hood put the ball on the m Pfaendler (45) as he crossed the goal line. Other Cavemen pictured are Mel Atkins (31) and Gary Schmidt (53).

GP was offside and Miles' kick from back of the seven was wide. Grants Pass, with Fritz DeBo, Harvey Graham and Max Hull packing, drove from its own six to the Medford 26 where the ball was lost on downs. The Tornado moved out from there, going 74 yards in 10 plays. Hood, on a re verse, burst through, evaded a couple of last chance tack lers and gained the goal on a 25-yard play. Miles kicked the bonus. The Cavemen powered from their 13 to the 49 and lost to 48. Then Medford back Jim Barry, on a booming intercep tion, swiped a Bob Lewellyn throw from Larry Janssen on the Medford 35. He ran 40 yards to the Medford 25.

Hood scor ed again on a reverse, this time going 18 yards. Miles kicked the conversion. But it was nullified for illegal pro cedure. The second boot was wide. Next, the Cavemen march ed from their 28 to the Med ford 38, where Terry O'SuIli van fell on a Graham fumble. A Hood bootleg and pass to Bob Qulnney gained 43 yards to the Grants Pass 19. Then followed the sensational play of the night. It was improvised on the spur of the moment and was not the one intended. Hood, heading back over right tack le, found his way obstructed. He turned and lateraled back to Ragsdale, who headed right as Caveman tacklers converg ed on him. Ragsdale reversed his field, ran far to the left and heaved a pass to Qulnney in the end zone. TD Disallowed It didn't go as a touchdown. Officials disallowed it., They said Medford has an ineligi ble received downtield. But, the Tornado is a team not to be denied. After penalty put it back on the GP 34, Rags dale hurled to Hammack for a goal that counted. Miles made the kick. Medford, helped by a pen alty against GP for unsports manlike conduct, went 91 yards for the score that made it 40 to 0.
