Grater Takes Long
Memory Into Tilt
At Klamath Falls
Central Point-Craler high's
Comets are preparing for
Klamath Union football Peli
cans "with long memories
from last year."
The two contingents come
together at 8 p.m. Friday at
Klamath Falls. It will be a
Southern Oregon conference
game.
Klamath will complete its
league campaign with the
scrape and is battling to stay
in running for at least a con
ference tie. Crater is out of
title running but relishes to
be a spoiler.
"We're trying to get ready,"
said Comet Coach Keith John
son. "We'd like to win this
one real bad."
What Crater remembers is
how Klamath poured it on
last year. The Pelicans were
victors by 58 to 7. Johnson
remembers that "it was a
long, long night."
Wald Scrimmages
Crater preparations includ
ed a real hard scrimmage yes
terday. The Comets went over
films on Monday and on Tues
day drilled without pads.
Fullback Gary Wald, who
has been hobbled by an in
jured, achillics tendon, : was
able to scrimmage yesterday
although the heal was sore.
End and tackle Dennis Ryer
son is getting over his hip
pointer injury but has been
kept out of contact work.
Both Wald and Ryerson are
expected to see at least part
time duty.
Back Phil Brown resprain
ed his ankle while picking an
extra point try yesterday.

HONOR ROLL..
Tornado Gridders
Encounter Ashland
This Friday Night
"We surprised that Klam
ath Falls. 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

Miniature flashlights are

Back Used.
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.
