I hope we can get our kids up again for another performance like that against Medford." So declared Marsh Jones, Ashland high head football coach. His Bruins entertain the state's No. 1 rated Med ford Black Tornado at Ash land on Friday night. The Southern Oregon conference conflict is billed for 8 p.m. The Tornado is a heavy fa vorite. While the undefeated Med fordites try for their seventh triumph, the Grizzlies will aim for their first victory in eight games this season. The Twister is 2-0 in loop play and Ashland is 0-2. While the Grizzlies have come out short seven times this fall, Jones brings out that "these kids play pretty good football." He remarked, "I think they'll do a pretty good job against Medford." There's precedent. The underdog role against the Tornado is nothing new for Ashland but they've arisen a couple of times in recent seasons to almost calm the Hurricane. Seek First Win While the undefeated Mod fordites try for their seventh triumph, the Grizzlies will aim for their first victory in eight games this season. The teams have met only one comtnon foe - Klamath Falls. Medford downed the Pelicans 13 to 0. Klamath came from behind to trip the Grizzlies 20 to 6. Ashland's closest bid for victory this fall came in the game with Springfield. The Millers scored in the last min utes to nick the Bruins 6 to 2. Medford's closest call was against Crater. The Black Tornado won 7 to 0. Other losses by the Grizz lers were 42 to 7 to Shasta of Redding. Calif., 28 to 13 to Redmond, 13 to 0 tq.Prine ville, 21 to 7 to Yreka, Calif., and 59 to 0 to Grants Pass. Medford has defeated The Dalles and Marshfield each by 27 to 0, South Salem by 20 to 0 and La Grande 42 to 0. Grinly Ranks Thin Platooning Medford will have the advantage in depth of personnel. The Ashland ranks are thin. Jones said that actually just 18 players make up his varsity aggregation. Medford has several players ailing. Fullback Tim Murray has an ankle sprain, guard Dean Evernham an injured knee and Jack Forde a bruised shoulder. Guard Chris Brew er, out last week with a brok en bone in his hand, may have limited duty this week. Frank Van Pelt could take over the punting assignment from Murray and Mike Neat hamer or Ron Edmonds could fill the deep back defensive spot., Jerry Fann may get the starting call in place of Ev ernham with Gibb Mitchell possibly going at end where Forde started last week. Brian Petersen could fill Brewer's defensive spot Tornado Scores 136 Medford's Black Tornado has rolled up 1.888 yards from scrimmage and totaled 136 points while limiting rivals to 691 net yards and holding them scoreless in six games this fall. The Tornado has accumu lated 1,373 yards rushing while opponents have run for 490 and have gained 515 yards passing while adversaries Medford High Band Termed Crack. Well-Drilled Outfit Br GEORGE BELL If LaGrande High school had brought its musicians along with its football team In Medford last Friday night, they'd have been clobbered as badly as their gridiron gladiators were. And that was pretty b1. For the Medford high school band, directed by lrv Mirick. is a crack, well drilled outfit, clearly superior to the usual high school band, and the near peer of a good many college aggregations. One of the band's features during this year's home foot hall games has been its Imag inative use of colored lights in a darkened stadium. Spinning Top Miniature flashlights are fixed onto the caps of the band members, much as a coal miner wears his light to see by. At halftime during the La Grande game, the band di vided in the dark into three sections, forming the top, middle and bottom parts of child's toy top. Each section had a different colored light, and as each moved in the opposite direc tion rf the other, an illusion was crratrd that the top wa spinning.

To Punning Seattle -lUPli- By now. Jun ior Coffey, Washington's bruising fullback, has grown used to all the puns on his name. Naturally, his nickname is "Instant." He also grinds out the yardage, perks up the team and is hard to spill. In last Saturdays 21-21 thriller with Oregon, Coffey broke up a three-man Web- foot convoy sweeping the end until Nat Whitmeycr came up to stop things with a shoe string tackle. This, of course, was a Cof fey break. Puns aside, however, this 6-1, 205-pounder from Texas is quite a football player and coach Jim Owens is glad Cof fey decided to cast his lot with the Huskies. Can't Help "I never look at opponents too much but you can't help seeing that Coffey." said Lcn Casanova, after the standoff with Washington. Oregon Slate also has rea son to remember the sopho more fullback who had his best day to date against the Beavers. Oregon Slate was leading 7-0 when Coffey took a hand off from Pete Ohler and start ed over left tackle. He punched through the OSt) line, bounced aside two tackleis and then crunched over the Beavers' safety man for a 43-yard touchdown. In! 47 carries this season, Coffey has clipped off 231 yards for a 4.9 yard per carry average to lead Washington's 'potent ground game. He has a younger brother who also plans to enroll at Washington. That, however, is another cup of Coffey.
