MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. AUGUST 30, 1962 Linebackers Open Ticket Sale Drive for Grandstand Project Line Potential Provides Room for Optimism in Crater High Grid Camp Mcdlord Linebackers club yesterday opened a drive to sell additional five-year sea son reserved scat tickets to Mcdford football games. Aim of the campaign is to complete the financing of the 4,000-seat grandstand being erected at the Mcdford High school stadium. Gene Orr, who is heading i up the drive, said that 15 MEDFORDvSjTRIBUNE SP01RTS E N I U C i II"!'

Linebackers have stressed that, if a person wishes to buy a five year ticket, he doesn't have to wait to be contacted. Past season ticket holders, who may have been missed by error, and all others interested may contact the high school, go out and pick out their seats and get their tickets right now. The scats sell for $100, or more if the purchaser wishes to make an added contribu tion. Outright payment for the seats would be appreci ated but is not necessary. Pay ment can be made at the rate of $10 down and S5 per month. Only Seats With Backs The five-year reserved seats are between the 40-yard lines. They will be the only seats with backs. A section of these scats is being wired for plug ins so that fans who purchase seats there may bring along electric blankets to the games. Linebackers will aim to sell at least 120 more seats. It was reported at a meeting last week that sale of that many more is necessary. It is hoped to wind up the drive on Sept. 7. The covered reinforced con crete grandstand is being con structed by Graff and James, Medford contractors, at a bid price of $88,500. It replaces a 1.200 wood frame stand that Central Point Illness has sidelined Crater High's veter an quarterback Mike Glincs. jYet, some real fine line ma terial is a cause for optimism here as the Comets prepare for their forthcoming football i campaign. Glines reportedly is a vic tim of infectious mononucle osis. It's possible he'll be back with the Comets sometime in October. Naturally, he'll be missed and Coach Keith John son says, "I sure hope he gets back." In the meantime. Johnson and his staff mainly are con cerned about the development of the Crater line. He reports that the Comets -ave some backs who can run. There is good line potential among boys up from :he jayvees. If it comes along as it should. Cra ter should be able to hold its own. despite a tough sched ule. Johnson believes. Matter of Experience There are good strong kids among the linemen. "It is Just a matter of experience we are lacking," the Comet head tu tor states. Line mentor Jim was occupied by students over the years on the west side of the field. The old stand be came Inadequate for the stu dent body. Students now will occupy the 2,500-seat cast side stand which was built by con tributions in 1947. It is planned to have the new stand in use for the Med-ford-Marshfield game on Sept. 21. When flavor counts more than price... enjoy true old-style .

Approximately 50 boys are now working out. Two prac- : tices each, were held on Mon jday and Tuesday, but work in the fruit cut heavily into the turnout for the morning ses sions and the Comets have now gone to one-a-day drills. Johnson has only eight let termen back from the 1961 season. But, all saw regular duty last fall. The seniors are Willie Jones and John Harris, tackles; Paul Bransom, end; Joe McCalvy, halfback, and Gary Wald, fullback. Juniors are Darryl Summerfield, quar terback, and Vcrn Swanson and Denny Ryerson, half backs. Alvarei on Hand Summerfield, who played halfback much time last year when not hobbled by injury, will have the quarterbacking chore in Gline's absence. He is a gridder with the ability to play any place on the team and do the job well. Out to help out at quarter back, or wherever else he may be needed is Louis Alvar ez, a 135-pound senior. He played junior varsity ball as a sophomore but was not out for football last season. Said Johnson, "I wish he weighed 20 pounds more; he'd be the best defensive back in the league." Coaches working at this time with Johnson and Tac chini are Phil Sword, line and junior varsity tutor; Troy Bcllah, back coach; Lloyd Hoffine, assistant jayvee and Rocket coach; Bill Piche and Ed Kirtley, freshman coach, and Earl Barnhart and LaRue Morris, from Central Point Junior high. Crater meets Bend here on Sept. 14. Practices are under the new lights on the turf at Crater High.

By MILTON RICHMAN I UPI Sports Writer I Nice try, but the Cincinnati ) Reds couldn't quite make it, i and if the slumping New j York Yankees don't start mov I ing soon they may wind up on the scrap heap reserved for all of last year's winners.
