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. Both pass

Lloyd Hammous, Lowery and

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

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.

Middies Hope To Sound

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. Both
squads are bowl-bound with
unsullied records.
Alabama, the defending na
tional champion, is a six
point pick over Georgia Tech
and triple-threat Bill Loth
ridlle while Ole Miss snorts
a 16 point edge over Tennes
see.
A battle for Big Ten hon
ors continues Saturday Willi
