A Volks wagen lakes to winter like duck lo water. Its engine is cooled with air, so there's no need (or and freeze. (No Hushing, no rusting, no chance of the block cracking, either1) You can park it outside in sub zero wcalhcr, and it's ready to roll when you turn the key. Because the Volkswagen engine is in the rrar, VW wheels get much better traction on ice and snow, even without tire chains. If you need a transporter, station wagon or sedan that will get through (when others simply get stranded) make tracks for your Volkswagen dealer's now. MORSE MOTORS 6th & Ivy - Medford, Ore. 772-7155 eight games after a season opener loss to Grants Pass. Opening opportunity here for the home team came when Roseburg's Lance Casebecr fumbled on the return of Lar ry Sander's kickoff and Gary Griffin recovered for the Tor nado on the Indian 34-yard line. In seven plays Medford was across the goal with Low ery going the last four. 17-Yard Run Mike Watkins began the push with six and two-yard gains. Lowery made two and three to the Redskin 21. Then came a play that wasn't in the book. A misfired pitchout dropped on the ground deep behind the line of scrimmage. Mike Barnes retrieved it and skirled right end. He wasn't stopped until Jess Hart nailed him on the four. Lowery made no gain then went into the end on an over tackle play. Roseburg had its TD oppor tunity when Medford had its back to the wall and Tim Mur ray punted out to the Med ford 30. Jim Beamcr rammed for five yards and a Medford- ite was charged with face mask grabbing. The resultant half-way to the goal penalty put the ball on the 13 and the scoring pass play followed. The Tornadoes bounced back from some anxious mo ments, when a penalty nulli fied what would have been an Indian recovery break, and set forth on a job they knew they had to do. And, it was a comeback for the Medfords. They were not behind on the scoreboard but they trailed in the yardage figures. When teams tie in the quarterfinals, the one with the most ad vances to the semis. Punt Return Nullified Lloyd Hammons, offensive end who plays a double safety spot for punt returns, appear ed to have Medford on the move in the final chukker when he ran a Don Evans' kick back about 40 yards to the Roseburg 30. But, clipping was flagged on the home club. It was set back to its own 14. It was at this point that the Hurricane unfurled ils offensive miht with the ter rific march which permitted it lo dethrone the 1961 champ and surge .up as the favorite in the remaining playoff rounds. It was an amazing display of power that awed the crowd. The tremendous push began with a meager two-yard gain by Watkins. Next, the only pass of the entire drive, Miles to Gibb Mitchell went for 10 yards. Miles lost four yards to momentarily slow the march but Gregg Gandee reel ed off 13 around left end. Lowery cracked for two and Walkins for nine and three. Miles went six and two on sneaks and Medford was to the Roseburg 44. After Low- cry made three more Watkins lust a yard but the undaunted Medfords got three yards bv Gandee, seven by Frank Pelt and two by Lowery for first down on the 30. Van Pelt made another tour, Miles six and Van Pelt an other three. Lowery hit for four and three to put the b:ill on the 10-yard line. The Indi ans working with an eight man line may have looked for .something but terrific Medford blocking certainly paved the way as a great hole opened over right tackle. Low ery slashed into the end zone untouched. Said Coach Fred Spiegel berg of his Black Tornado, "We were thrilled with (him again. It was a tremendous comeback and sustained drive."

Spirgelberg praised the front line Tornado defenses for their work in slopping Ihe running of Brothers and of Beamer. Medfords big march also was a race against time. The clock read 3 36 left to play when the winning touchdown was scored. Time ran nut on the Indians in their effort to comeback.

A Tornado fumble a bit later took some of the edge off this predicament but the kick helped pave the way for a Medford threat. Another Murray punt was dropped by Roseburg safety Spike Moore and Miles and Roy Shaw made the recovery for the home club on the Chieftain 24. Two plays took the Med fords to the 15 but procedure and delay penalties squelched the second quarter scoring chance, Roseburg Bids Roseburg bid on Its first second half opportunity with the ball. The Indians surged from their own 40 to the Medford .four in nine plays. On the next play, Brothers, chased all over the backficld, tossed a low pass toward Lance Casebeer in the end zone but Neathamer was right on the spot and knocked the low throw down. On the next play, fourth down, Grif- j fin intercepted a Brothers throw inside the end zone, car ried the ball out and was nailed on the one. Three plays gained to the five and Mur ray punted to the 30. The In dian markers came shortly. Medford lost yardage on its first scrimage series after the kickoff and so did the Doug las county delegation. On an Evans punt for Roseburg, the bouncing ball bumped Med ford Miles and an Indian plop ped on it deep in Tornado ter ritory. However, illegal pro cedure was hankied on the Chiefs and the kick had to be done over. Hammons' fruitless return and the long Medford drive followed. Unofficial yardage totals showed 206 net from scrim mage for Medford to Rose burg's ISO. Medford had 12 lo nine first down margin. Medford is back in the semi finals after a year's absence. The Black Tornado took the state championship in 1959 but its 1960 bid was spoiled in the semis by David Douglas. a?
