TORNADO, INDIANS COLLIDE IN A-1 PLAYOFF MHS Faces Defending Champions An old gridiron rivalry, in abeyance for six years, will be renewed this evening as two powerhouses combat at the Medford Hish school sta dium with an intensity of pur pose. Medford's Black Tornado and Roseburg's Indians are the adversaries. The occasion is an Oregon Class A-1 foot ball playoff semifinal with kickoff at 8 p.m. Winner will advance into next week's semifinal round against cither Oregon City or Jesuit. The teams have not met since 1956. After a period of regular season competition, the Indians withdrew from grid hostilities with Medford, which is an almost perennial grid power in the state. Since then Roseburg has surged to the football forefront. The In dians are the defending state titlists in A-1. Battle of Mighliei So tonight's encounter here shapes up as a Battle of the Mighties. Medford is rated No. 1 in all Oregon prep polls Roseburg is second, tied for second and third in the rat ings. On that basis, Medford would rate as slight favorite. But there are "experts" nu merous who maintain Rose burg has the better team. The Medford-Roseburg win ner likely will assume the fa vored role to go on and take the 1962 mantle, although Jefferson and Pendleton rate as strong challengers. Other round of eight games tonight are Jefferson at Beaverton and Jesuit at Oregon City. Pendleton goes to North Sa lem on Saturday. Only two common foes have been engaged by the Torna does and the Indians. Med ford tripped Grants Pass 14 to 6 and Marshfield 27 to 0. Roseburg was nipped by Grants Pass 24 to 18 but scalped the Pirates 48 to 6. The Redskins have piled up points with a methodical T attack - predominately a run ning game but with consid erably more passing than Medford has employed. Med ford has its multiple single wing and T attack, giving it a versatile striking force. lis passing, a producer of touch downs, is a threat. Brothers Cog Paul Brothers has been a cog of Indian skirmishes, the core of the running and the passing game. He is supported by the running of Jim Beamer, Lance Casebeer and Al Joel son. Spike Moore, Vern Oil man and Joelson have been Brothers main aerial targets. Medford has the quarter backing of Dan Miles and Mike Neathamer.

Among ball carriers are Jack Lowery, Mike Barnes, Frank Van Pelt, Mike Watkins and Greg Ganriee. Lloyd Hammous, Lowery and Barnes have been the major pass receivers. Medford takes a defense into action that has the best record in the state among the major schools. Only one touchdown all season has been scored against the Hurricanes and that was against the kick off team. Roseburg opponent point total amounts to 89. Field condition may prove more advantageous to Coach Roy Thompson's Indians. Medford mentor Fred Spiegel berg has described the grid iron as "a little mucky and that is a mild way of putting it. Such condition could ham per efforts at a wide running game. And, to plug against inside attacking by the oppo sition Roseburg has four inte rior linemen ranging from 205 to 232 pounds. Unbeaten, Untied The Black Tornado is un beaten and untied in eight Friday, 8 p.m. ROSEBURG ventures on the field. Loss to Giants Pass is the only blot on a nine game Roseburg sea son record.

It)ti2 Mississippians On Top in Poll New York -fUPI With only two weeks remaining before the crowning of the national champion, Southern Mississip pi Wednesday replaced Flori da A&M as the No. 1 small college football team in the United Press International board of coaches ratings.

Stoneham Has No Complaints On System of raying Bonuses By HAL WOOD San Francisco -(UPli- The bonus system in baseball pos sibly is one of tile most hated developments of the grand old game as far as owners are con cerned. But Horace Stoneham, pres ident of the San Francisco Giants, has no complaints. "It's probable that 90 to 95 per cent of all bonus players never make it to the majors," says Stoneham. "But we have had considerable success with it. "We paid Mike McCormick belter than S60.000 to sign with us in the days when that was a very high figure. And he paid dividends, although he was off this year. "One of our small bonus men, Tom Hallcr, now is a fine catcher for us. We paid him something like 535,000 to sign. -Not Very Often "But it's not very often that a bonus player makes good." Another man that paid big dividends to the Giants was bonus baby Johnny Antonelli. The money Johnny was paid from the old Boston Braves who finally traded the Italian southpaw to the Giants-only to see him become a star. Right now the Giants are sweating out a $150,000 bonus lad named Bob Garibaldi, signed out of Santa Clara at the tender age of 19. Garibaldi sat on the bench with the Giants during the last half of the pennant cam paign and saw action in only a few innings. There had been some talk that the big kid could step right off the college campus onto the major league mound. In his few appear ances it developed, however, that Garibaldi still had a few things to learn. SHAW MADE ACTIVE Los Angeles -IUPII- The Los Angeles Rams have taken vet' eran center Art Hunter off the active list and moved fullback Glenn Shaw from the taxi squad to the active list. Shaw, formerly of Kentucky, will play on the specialty teams. The Ram decision was due to Hunter's inability to play since the third game because of injuries. ffi Bhevroleti Trunks THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOUGH BUT NEVER STRONGER THAN NOW! ? ,V -rrc, clA .A 4 , ; .

Middies Hope To Sound Taps for Southern Cal Detroit -IUP1U The Detroit Pistons Thursday asked waiv ers on Dan Doyle, 6-foot, fl inch forward from Belmont Abbey, N.C., who has had trials with the National Basketball association team the last two years'. By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer Southern California, aware that Navy's tattered flags still can signal storm warnings, meets the Middies in a "grudge" game Saturday which the highly spirited sai lors hope will sound taps for the Trojans No. 1 college football rating. Whether Navy coach Wayne Hardin's blast thai Southern Cal uses "illegal motions, il legal formations and illegal procedures" is just so much psychological brainwashing for the Tars, will be deter mined at the Los Angeles Coliseum when the Trojans go for their eighth straight victory. Trojan coach John McKay said he was shocked at the ac cusations and intends to jus tify his newly won status as best team in the country by picking up the challenge glove and scuttling for all time Hardin's claim that Southern California flaunts the rules. Two previous games be tween these opponents wound up in high scoring frays. In 1949, Southern California beat Navy, 42-20. The Mid dies avenged the defeat in 1950 by tripping the Trojans, 27-14. Navy Was Routed Navy has been on the short end of several rout-jobs this season, losing to Penn Slate (41-7), Minnesota (21-0) and Syracuse (34-6), In case Navy's threat to up set the West Coast team ma terializes, second-ranked Ala bama and the No. 3 Missis sippi Rebels are set to hurdle into the top rating.
