6 B Bedford Nod Over Spirited Crater High Central Point "Man, what an effort they made!" Such was the tribute Coach Keith Johnson paid his Cra ter High school football Fire balls. The Comets of Central Point, mettlesome and reso lute, ignited here Friday night to give Oregon's No. 1 ranked prep gridiron contin gent its fiercest challenge of the season along with a rous ing scare. Medford's Black Tornado, held scoreless for three pe riods, put together an early fourth panel thrust to barely nose the Comets 7 to 0. The Southern Oregon conference nod was Medford's narrowest verdict in nine seasons against the Central Pointers. Mike Walkins slipped away on an off-left tackle play and went 18 yards for the eve ning's only touchdown with 8 minutes 23 seconds left In the game. Dan Miles thumped the extra. "Thank God he scored," said Mcdford Coach Fred Spiegclberg of Watkins TD dash. "That was a rough one," was his comment on the frac as. "They defensed the heck out of us." Competed All The Way Declared Johnson, "I think ' Mcdford knew they were in a ball game." He added, "It was I quite a big 'victory' for us. We competed all the way. But, morale victories don't put you in (he win column." The Comet mentor praised his charges all the way down through the roster. "I could n't single any one out," he said. "It was such a team ef fort. You would be short changing them if you didn't mention all of them ... ." He said also, "I was real proud of them" and "there is no rea son why they should be ashamed." Johnson lauded a tremendous group tackling by the Fireballs.

Hands of another Tornado defender turf and Mcdford tutor Spieg elbcrg said that he felt that the "field was a neutralizer.1 "We were kind of miserable and down," said the Tornado mentor of his team. Pais Intercepted Mcdford roared up from the first real break which came its way to promenade to its touchdown. And, then the break almost wasn't one. A pass interception by Gary Griffin snuffed out Crater's lone sustained offensive bid as the third quarter was draw ing to a close. He ran the ball back well inlo Comet terri tory. But, Big Wind was charged with clipping on the runback and the 15-yard pen alty gave Mcdford the ball back on its own 24-yard line. 11 took Mcdford 10 plays - nine plays inlo the final can to - to reach the Comet coal. Mcdford with Jack Lowcry packing five limes and Mike Barnes going once for 14 yards made good yardage up the middle before Walkins slanted then swept to the goal. Crater's third period of fensive effort carried from its 24 to the Mcdford 24 - 52 yard. And, It was the lone pass (hat Mike dines threw on this push that Griffin in- lercepted. Gary Wald ran twice for nine yards on the surge and Vein Swanson went for 13. Darryl Summcrfield packed for 10 yards and re reived a dislocated elbow. Turning Point "We felt the lurning point was when Summcrfield was hurl," said Johnson. Had Sum mcrfield remained in the game, "I really think we would have scored," he staled. "It took the wind out of our sails and Mcdford rose up lo the occasion." Penalties wrecked two Mcd ford scoring bids and Comet defensive break through ruined another.

It held Cra ter to 86 net yards from scrimmage while the Hurri cane offense ran up 281 yards.

The center snap bounced along the Badgers Top Irish Madison, Wis. -H'PIl- Wiscon sin unveiled a bruising defen sive game to go with its pow erful offense Saturday to beat Notre Dame, 17 3, for its tnird consecutive win this year and first win over the Irish since 1928. Quarterback Ron Vander- Kclen took care of the offeme, scoring the clinching touch down in the third quarter on a one yard plunge and passing 25 yards to All-America end Pat Richter for the Badgers' other score. But the big story was Wis consin's defense, relatively un tested in easy wins over Indi ana and New Mexico Stale. Several times the Badgers gave Notre Dame scoring chances, but each time the de fense proved up to the crion. Four Wisconsin passes were intercepted, three by Tommy MacDonald, and four fumbles were lost, with two of the re coveries coming in Wisconsin territory. Once when Ed Hoer- ster recovered on the Wiscon sin 24, the Badgers forced the Irish back one yard in four plays. The only Notre Dame score came in the final three min utes following a 68 yard march. Don Hogan capped the drive with a three yard rin and Denis Sznt passed to Jack Snow for the two-point con version.
