Tornado Caveman Speed is their trade mark. They have a potent running and passing game. Such are the reports this season of the football Cave men of Grants Pass. And, they add up to terrific chal lenge to Medford's Black Tor nado.

This is the final game of the regular season for both schools. Whichever wins will move into the state quarter finals on the following week end against the defending state champion Indians of Roseburg. Just a tie, how ever, will put the Black Tor nado in the playoffs. Quicken Ever Coach Fred Spiegelberg of the Tornado said of the Cave men, "They're the quickest I've ever seen them." He add ed, however, "We have a lit tle speed, too." This will be the 53rd meet ing on the gridiron between varsities of Medford and GP. Medford has been the victor on 39 occasions and Grants Pass on 11. There have been two ties. Grants Pass aims for its first verdict over Medford in nine seasons. Not since the 13 to 12 nod of 1953 have the Covemen tripped a Tornado football team. In the mean time, Medford has recorded 14 to 7 triumphs and decisions of 28 to 6, 41 to 7, 52 to 6 and 13 to 7. Games were tied 20 to 20 in 1957 and 0 to 0 in 1958. Last year's 13 to 7 triumph was an empty one for the Black Tornado. For, it created a three-way tie for the South ern Oregon conference man tle. And, Grants Pass won the drawing to go in the state A-1 quarterfinals. Situation Reversed Last year Grants Pass en tered the conference final game as "king of the moun tain." This year the situation is reversed. Grants Pass last fall brought a 3-0 league rec ord into the fracas with the Black Tornado. Medford was 2-1. The Cavemen were rated ahead of Medford in two of the three polls. This time its Medford with 3-0 and GP with 2-1. The Twister of Pear city is ranked No. 1 and Grants Pass No. 5 in the ratings. Medford bears its spotless record over seven games. Grants' Pass has scored five victories, tied one game and lost one. Here are the comparative records: Medford - Defeated The Dalles and Marshfield each 27 to 0, South Salem 20 to 0, Crater 7 to 0, Klamath Falls 13 to 0, La Grande 42 to 0 and Ashland 48 to 0. Grants Pan - Beat defend ing state champion Roseburg 24 to 18, North Bend and Willamette each 35 to 6, Ash land 59 to 0 and Crater 25 to 0, lost 12 to 9 Klamath and tied Marshfield 6 to 6. Fine Balance The Cavemen have totaled 193 points. Medford has scored 184. While the Med ford goal is yet to be crossed. Grants Pass has given up eight touchdowns - 48 points. Medford success has been credited to a fine balance of offense and defense. Grants Pass Vffense appears to have played the larger role for the Cavemen but its defense has been effective, yielding more than one touchdown to only two of seven foes. Gary Griffin, linebacker, who suffered a bruised shoul der in the Ashland game, was back at practice yesterday. Mike Mayfield, tackle who turned an ankle in Tuesday's workout, probably will be able to play, but Tim Murray, fullback who reinjured his ankle against Ashland may be able to do no more than the Tornado punting. Tornado Rolli Up 2,350 Medford on attack has roll ed up 2,350 total yards, 1,633 rushing and 712 passing, and has accumulated 92 first downs.
