MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE.
TORNADO LIGHTNING FELLS
AXEMEN; MEDFORD GAINS
A-1 GRIDIRON SEMIFINALS
Mighty Medford's dazzling
football lightning once more
has struck with jarring, crash
ing touchdown thunder. And,
if South is to rise again, It
.will be some later time -South
Eugene that is.
The Axemen of the Emerald
city, intent on hewing out an
upset over No. 1 rated. Med
ford's howling Hurricane had
their blades quickly, bluntly
and decisively dulled by elec
trifying Black Tornado thun
derbolts here Friday night.
Matching its season-average
seven-touchdown pacing, Med
ford's Class A-1 high school
gridiron defending champions
projected themselves into the
Oregon big school titular
semifinals for the third suc
cessive year. The Tornado
flattened South Eugene 4" to
6 in the quarterfinal tangle.
Medford's grid gladiators
will entertain David Douglas
here next Friday night. The
victor will meet this week's
Newberg-North Salem winner
at state finals on Nov. 25 or
26.
Ragsdale Goat 67
Dick R.igsdale, the skilled,
poised director of the Torna
do multiple offense, flashed
his running ability as well as
his passing art and general
ship as the undefeated Med
fords piled up their 10th lop
sided triumph of the year.
Ragsdale fake-reversed on a
punt' return and romped 67
yards to score. He ran 22
yards to touchdown land on
a keeper play and hurled the
ball to Mikt Hood for another
tally. Another Ragsdale to
Hood tabulating heave was
wiped out by a penalty.
Hood, Dan Sieg and Phil
Humphreys, the way opened
by sharp teammate blocking
and utilizing their elusiveness,
stormed through and around
the Axemen as explosive Med
ford moved to the TD zone.
Humphreys crossed the goal
line twice for the Tornado on
hight and 15-yard jaunts and
had an 18-yard TD sweep call
ed back. Sieg crossed the pay
stripe on a 48-yord journey
and Hood flung the ball to
Bob Quinney on 59-yai?d pay
off play.
Dan Miles booted five Med
ford extra points. Two of his
kicks were blocked.
Robertson Scores
Dick Robertson, a starting
quarterback in early season
but a reserve in more recent
games, fired the Axemen to
their only touchdown with
just 10 seconds on the score
board clock. He gained con
sistently running from a deep
back spot and boomed over
the goal from three yards out.
Bo Blair's extra point kick
was wide.
This closing 55-yard drive
marked the only time South
Eugene got within the M3d
ford 26-yard mark. The Axe
men looked as if they might
make a game of it in the first
quarter of the test. After
Medford first has scored, they
moved out from their 25 and,
with Bob Ferguson, Jim
Brooke and Ross Carter pack
ing reached the Tornado 28.
Then Ferguson fumbled and
Terry O'Sullivan and John
James came up off the ball
for Medford on the MHS 26.
Medford blazed out to its
second touchdown. Big Wind
defense collected its resistance
and stymied the Choppers
until reserves took over in
the final period of play.
The Tornado held the Axe
men to 129 yards rushing, a
bit over 55 yards of it (figur
ing penalty adjustment) on
the SE scoring drive. South
was limited to a pair of pass
completions for 19 yards and
two throws were intercepted.
Fumbles did hurt the Hewers.
They, this way, lost the ball
three times.
"If Medford has the ball,
it will score," seemed to be
the theme on Friday. The Tor
nado tallied the first five
times it had its hands on the
pigskin. Only a penalty and
the halfway horn kept it from
being six.
The Tornado had a 21 to 0
first quarter spread. It was 34
to 0 at the midway spot and
41 to 0 after three stanzas of
contention.
"This was Medford's best
game of the season," said Tor
nado Coach Fred Spiegelberg.
"They were real sharp and I
hope they stay that way, be
cause they'll need it when
they play David Douglas."
Real Unison
Offensively,' the mentor de
clined to cite any particular
individual. "It was a good
team effort-real unison,", he
said.
Defensive end Larry Brown
and middle guard and line
backer Al Funston did draw

Sieg ran Blair's opening
kickoff 16 yards to the Med
ford 41 yard line and four
plays later Medford had its
first TD. Humphreys made
three yards and on the next
play the Tornado was set for
ward to the 48 on an SB in
fraction. Hood cracked over
midfield to the SE 48. Then
the Wind burst Sieg through
the line and he vent all the
way to score.
After halting the Axemen
on the 26 Medford bombard
ed with a 74-yard surge in
five plays one of which lost
five yards. Hood went around
left end on a reverse for 30
yards and Humphreys around
right flank for 24. Sieg was
dropped behind the line on a
pitch but made back three
yards to the 22. Ragsdale then
tossed to Hood for a goal.
South netted a yard loss on
its next effort with the ball
and Robertson punted to Rags
dale on the Tornado 33. He
ran right, faked to Hood, put
the ball on his hip, kept on a
swing to the sideline and was
off to the goal. Some of the
Axemen saw what was hap
pening but there was nothing
they could do.
Gamble Fails
Medford started for touch
down No. 3 from the South
49 after an Axemen fourth
down gamble failed to gain
the needed inches but instead
lost a yard. The drive requir
ed eight plays with Humph-
reys covering the last eight
yards on a swing around right
end.
SE gained from its 40 to the
Medford 35 and Robertson
kicked out of bounds on the
Tornado 13. The Hurricane
looked a bit in trouble as the
ball squirted away from Hood
but was recovered safely back
on the 10. South hopes were
quickly squelched, Humphreys
made three and 12 yards and
Sieg 12 on a draw. Hood trav
eled four to the Medford 41.
From there Hood cast the
ball to Quinney on about the
South 30 stripe. Quinney,
heading ffoalward. naused
and looked back once out evi
dently was Just changing
gears. He spurted on across
the touchdown line.
Next opportunity came
when Richard Connolly fell
on a Jim Brooke fumble on
the Medford 47. Ragsdale
pitched downficld to Hood on
the 53-yard gain to the final
stripe. But, Medford was call
ed for holding and put back 'o
its 32. Seconds before the
half ended the Tornado had
gained up to the SE 25.
Tremendous Catch
Medford fought, from its
28, 72 yards to pay soil in the
third quarter in nine plays.
This drive featured a spec
tacular pass by Bob Quinney.
Hood's heave appeared that
it might entirely overshoot,
but 6-4 Quinney, putting forth
all his effort, lunged and used
his long reach and fine hands
to snare the ball as he tum
bled to the turf. The pass
gained 32 yards to the SE 18.
