Its rivals have managed 63 points. Medford's total scoring for the season is 424 markers and Includes 44 extra points and one safety.

The Black Tornado has gained 2, 630 yards on the ground and 973 through the air. Cor responding totals for adver saries are 1,214 and 772. FIRST SINCE 1951 When the football team of South Eugene (formerly just Eugene) high comes here Friday night to meet Medford in the state A-l quarterfinals, it will be, to our recollection, the first time since 1951 that the Axemen and the Black Tor nado have met on the grid iron, Medford took that last tussle 34 to 6. The Axemen will come to Medford with an 8-1 record. Their only loss was 21 to 7 lo Marshfield, which Med ford defeated 34 to 0. South Eugene victories have been 32 to 6 over Sweet Home, 32 to 7 over Willamette, 40 to 7 over Cottage Grove, 27 to 26 over North Salem, 7 to 0 over Springfield, 20 to 0 over North Bend, 26 to 13 over Roseburg and 20 lo 13 over North Eugene. PLAYOFF PLAN SHOWN Winner of the Medford South Eugene game will go into state semifinals against the victor of the Jefferson David Douglas. Victor of the Jcsuit-Newberg fray will op pose the Bend-North Salem winner on Nov. 18 or 19. The finalist in the bottom bracket among Jesuit, Newberg, Bend and North Salem will have a good incentive in the cham pionship game since that brac ket is being given general designation this season as the "weak" one. A-2 ADVANCEMENT In the A-2 action the Sea-side-Willamina winner will advance against the Newport-Myrtle Point victor and the St. Francis-Phoenix survivor will oppose the McLoughlin high Central winner. NOT THE BIGGEST The 52 to 6 count was not the biggest margin by which Medford high has defeated Grants Pass in football. Tor nado gridders won 80 to 6 in 1922, 73 to 0 in 1945 and 56 to 0 in 1946. An 80 is not a Medford high for a football game. In 1925 the Tornado beat Roseburg 102 to 0 and in 1927 it beat Klamath Falls 94 to 0. HARD TO BELIEVE Said Jerry Acklin, sports editor of the Grants Pass Courier, in his post mortem of Friday's Medford-Grants high football game: "It is hard to believe that anyone would ever think that this year's Medford Black Tornado isn't as good as last year's ball club. By this time, even Coach Fred Spiegelberg should be ready to concede that it is better balanced and a stronger club than any of the ball clubs in recent years. "It isn't anything to dis credit the Grants Pass Cave men in losing to such a pow erful club which should have little trouble (Editor's note We hope he's right) in going all the way to a second straight state cham pionship. "The Cavamen gave the Tornado a few bad minutes and forced the big wind lo extend itself in gathering momentum during the first half. A couple bobbles help ed the visitors to boost their score, but there is no ques tion but what the outcome j would have been had the j Cavemen avoided any fum bles or pass interceptions." CAN MAKE MISTAKES j Continues Acklin: "It seems to be the con census of opinion of several I close followers of the Cave-; men club that no team can ! afford to make any mistake in playing with the Tornado, i y DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Spottt Editor They play too smart. And they love to score. "We have often said thftt a topnotch ball club can make another good team look bad. Actually the Cavemen have played better ball on occa sions but they cannot be' ac cused of giving up without a struggle. One fan put it quite aptly when he said really the only thing that looked bad was the score. "We figure that was bad enough. But, we felt it was a matter of the Medford team delivering its very best rath er than a poor showing on the part of the losers." He also stated: "It was a case of a dream ball club that took advantage of every mistake made by a good team and then added some terrific plays of their own." Hoop and Grid Referees Meet Basketball referees and football officials will meet at Medford High school Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m. Golden Noble, basketball commissioner, said that prospective hoop referees are particularly asked to attend.

Oregon Clubs Holds Drills Eugene, Ore. - fUPIl - Coach Len Casanova sent his Univer sity of Oregon gridders through a light drill Monday with emphasis on offensive patterns. Casanova, whose gridders face winless West Virginia in Portland Saturday, credited Oregon's 27-6 win over Stan ford last Saturday to speed and good defensive reaction.

Pipes and Tobaccos that are new and different GIFTS and NOVELTIES PIPE EARL'S innesota Elected No. 1 By United Press International New York - (UPD - Minne sota, conqueror of Iowa, pick ed election day today to roll up the greatest landslide in the history of the weekly ma jor college football ratings by United Press International -taking over first place with a near-perfect 347 points. That point total, in voting by the 35 members of the UPI board of coaches, was the highest ever recorded in the 11 seasons that the ratings have been issued. The previous record of 346 points was set by Oklahoma in the final week's ratings for the 1950 season. Since that Winner of Grid Honor San Francisco-WPD - Despite the battering which Stan ford's winless legions have absorbed so far this year, they always can count on Jack But ler to move in and try to shove the enemy in the other direction, Butler, a 204 pound junior from Houston, Tex., earned the United Press Internation al's lineman of the week award last Saturday with a stirring display of defense against powerful Oregon. Working as a middle line backer, he was rated in some quarters as the best lineman on the field as he rushed to numerous trouble spots and tried to contain the Duck's rapid advance. Late in the game, which Oregon won 27-6, he had to leave with a bad shoulder. "He played a fine game and deserves recognition," coach Jack Curtice said afterward. "He calls our defensive sig nals and has been a real good boy. Yet we didn't quite know where we would play him be fore the season opened." Butler also had good after noons against Wisconsin and Washington State, Curtice said. Jack, a junior, entered Stanford as a back but went into the line after a rash of injuries hit the club. He didn't see any varsity action until after the first six games of last season. Now Curtice is more than pleased to have him around. Bill Kilmer, UCLA's triple threaler, won the UPI's Back of the Week award - off his great showing Saturday as the Bruins were defeating the Bears, 28-0. During the game, Kilirier scored twice, rolled up 225 yards running and passing and got off three quick kkts which averaged better than 51 yards.

Game management officials said 20 arrests were made by state police in the Clatsop and Wilson units opening week end. Elk hunters left a known 47 dead animals be hind and an unknown number of wounded. Dave Luman, head of the big game program, said hunt ers apparently went berserk at the sight of herds and kept on shooting until guns were empty or the herds vanished out of sight. In the Clatsop area, 27 known illegal kills were made, about two thirds of which were spike bulls. Two five-point bulls were found untagged. Game officials found 15 wasted animals in the Wilson area in addition to three ani mals seized from hunters ex ceeding the bag limit.

Minesota set the new mark by receiving 32 first - place votes and three second-place votes. Gopher Tribute The rating was, of course, a tribute to Minnesota's 27-10 conquest of Iowa at Minneap olis last Saturday. The game was history's first meeting be tween teams rated at that time No. 1 and No. 2 in the nation. Iowa, which had been first last week with 343 points, tumbled all the way to sixth place this week with 194.

Washington -(UPli- So you'd like lo be a pro football coach? Put yourself in the shoes of Mike Nixon of the Washing ton Redskins. All week long he kept warning' his punt .re turn team that kicker Jerry Norton of the St. Louis Cardi nals will run from punt for mation if he sees a chance! On Sunday, linebacker Roy Wilkins, playing defensive end on punt, returns;, took his stance considerably Inside the Cardinals' end the first time SI. Louis punted. He charged in to block the kick but Nor ton got it away. When Wilkins returned to the bench, Nixon warned him again. "Stay lo the outside or he'll dip around you," Mike cautioned. "If that end blocks you in, you're dead." wilkins nodded. Seven plays later the Cardinals went back in punt formation, fourth and 17. Wilkins charged straight In for Nor ton. The Cardinal end side- swiped him. Norton took off for 26 yards and a key first down.

If they start doing it just keep throwing the screen a short pass to a halfback or fullback after the line backers have left their defen sive areas to go after the passer. That'll keep those linebackers honest." The Redskins practiced screen passes all week. Gu glielmi threw Just two in the actual game. Even when he called a screen, he wailed too long to get it off and cither ate the ball or tried to run. Still want to coach? Against Overconfidence In the five days of work outs before the Cardinals game, Nixon kept telling the Redskins these guys have got a real tough defensive team. Don't underestimate them they've got four good men up front and three damned fine linebackers. You have been reading all about their offense but they can kill you with their defense just as easily." On Sunday, the first few times' the Redskins had the ball, you could see their blockers look surprised at the vicious charge of the Cards' defense. Specifically warned, the Tribe still was kept off balance all day. Still Want to Coach? If so, you'd probably do what Nixon did just before the 44-7 shellacking Sunday ended. He walked along the bench and told the players they'd have to practice Mon day their day off. Make Your Home Happy With a Tru-Mix Concrete Driveway and Patio Delivered SP 2-5271 Team Points 1.

Utah State Fielding Powerhouse San Francisco -IUPII- Utah State, Hie new athletic power house of the Rocky Mountain region, tastes the salt air of the Pacific this Friday and if the advance man is honest, it s going to be a long night for College of Pacific. The Aggies, riding a win streak of five major unbeaten teams in the country, have got everything, says quick-witted young Karl Klagcs, the school's tub-thumper.

About the morale of the loam: 'For College of Pacific It will be as 'up' as a hoop skirt in a hurricane."

Familiar Names Playing quarterback for (he Utah Slate team Is Dolph Ca- milli. And if that name rings a bell, you're right: He's the son of the old-time Brooklyn Dodger first baseman and home run slugger. Two other names rang a bell to followers of University of California football when the roster was uveilcd here for the COP game. Doug Mayberry, a fullback, and Ernie Reese, a halfback, were on the University of Cal iforia freshman team three years ago. How did they get lo Utah State? Easy," Klages answers. When they were freshmen at Cal, our head coach, John Ralston, was freshman coach at California. They Just fol lowed him over here."
