Fanfare
North Salem's 8-3 season
football record does not seem
so impressive as Medford
High's 10-0. But. examination
will show that the Vikings,
who meet Medford next Fri
day night for the Oregon
Class A-l title, have won all
their important games. Only
North losses were non-conference.
And in league play, the
Viks turned around and licked
a club which bounced them
earlv in the season.
TWO COMMON FOES
Friday's big school finalists
have met two common foes
this fall. Medford won 20 to 0
from South Salem. North lost
to that school 20 to 0, then
later beat the Saxons 20 to 6
when it counted. The Black
Tornado won 14 to 7 from
Roseburg which beat North
Salem 27 to 14.
MAMMOTH SALEM LINE
Medford will be faced with
a huge line both ways when
it takes on the Vikings. At
the North Salem offensive
flanks are a pair of 170 pound
ers. But, in between are two
210s, a 220. a 205 and a 194.
Smallest man on the probable
starting defensive line for
North is 194. The Viks, other
wise, have a 230-pounder, a
couple of 210s. a 205 and a
200 even player. Medford has
no weight to match this.
Grants Pass Coach Mel In
gram saw North Salem play
Jefferson last Friday.
"They're big and strong," Mel
said of the Viks. "If it's wet
they'll be tough (for Med
ford)," he indicated. j
North has another 'im
pounder in fuliback, Gary Col
lette, whom Ingram says is
"just about as good a boy as
you'll find anywhere."
ONE OF FINEST
A. Oden Hawes, executive
secretary-treasurer of the Ore
gon School Activities associa
tion, declared yesterday of the
A-l title game, "I think it
will be one of the finest play
off games." He said of North
Salem, "They'll be real
strong."
VIKING EXPRESS
Ron Blankenbakcr, Oregon
Statesman sportswritcr re
ported of last week's semi
final game at Salem, "North
Salem, like an express train
with nothing blocking the
tracks, powered past Jeffer
son . . .
"And if ever the value of
sheer power was proved, it
was given a magnificent dis
play ..."
Blankenbakcr reported
"roars of approval for the
Vikings who don't plan on
stopping until they reach the
final station on the line - The
State A-l high school football
championship."
The prop writer quoted
North Coach Pike Hillstrom
as saying. "We out-played 'cm. I
out fought 'cm and if we play
like this next week nobody
can beat us."
Jim Close, sports writer for
the Capital Journal, had this
quote from Jerry Long. Ore
gon State university, assistant
coach:
"Wow! What an interior line
they (North) have. They're the
greatest I've seen this year." j
HANDS lULU
This, of course, adds up to
a big assignment to the Med
ford Black Tornado. It will
have its hands full. We want
to see them make that old
adage come true - that one
which states. "The bigger they
are. the harder they fall."
SURPRISING TEAM
One hesitates to predict the
outcome of the championship
encounter. But. it's a certainty
that the Black Tornado will
accept its assignment in stride.
Actually, the Twister has been
a surprising learn.
It was felt at the start of
the season, that the Black
Tornado, would, as usual, give
a qood account of itself. It
had good personnel. But. to
reach the state finals - that
SKINNER BUICK-CADILLAC

was something else again.
Wasn't Grants Pass favored
in this district. Then, as the
season progressed, the Med
fords grew in the respect of
the state and in the admira
tion of their fans.
The Tornadoes were elevat
ed to the top of the polls - be
as they may and whatever
their value. And, they showed
an inclination to stay there.
As, we've said before, sev
eral times, they've seemed to
play their best when the chips
were down and a job had to
be done. That's a great qual
ity and altitude to have.
HOPE ENTHUSIASM BUILT
We hope the Southern Ore
gon college football game
with Whitworth on Thanks
giving day built up an en
thusiasm for the Red Raiders'
wide open brand of football
that will give them a good
following at their home games
next season.
The season for SOC ended
on both a bright note and on a
sour one. The sour one was
the brawl that broke out on
the last play of the game. For,
it probably lost the Red Raid
ers some irienas.
On first reaction, such a j
brawl appears a good show
and amusing. But, on second
thought comes the realization
that such occurrences serve !
no real good for college foot- j
ball. Since the holiday game, i
we've talked to those who
relished in the brawl and con-1
doned it. We've also heard it
called "bad" and "sickening"
and "shameful."
PURPOSES TOLD
Dr. Elmo Stevenson, presi
dent of Southern Oregon col
lege, told the Medford Ki
wanis club the other day. that
the school fields a football
team because it is a fall
morale builder, because the
boys who play develop char
acteristics essential in busi
ness and because the school
sends young men out into
schools as coaches. We realize
that business is highly com
petitive, as is football, but we
hardly believe that the game-
ending embroilment was
keeping with the
school's I
aims.
GREATEST SEASON
"The greatest season I've
ever had since I've been
coaching." That's how Coach
Al Akins of the Southern Ore
gon collegians is quoted in
the Ashland Tidings follow
ing the Whitworth game
which gave the Raiders their
seventh straight win and an
8-1 season. He also said, "The
Pirates were by far the tough
est team we've run up against
all season."
Stellar end, Howard Hart
nian missed much of the Whit
worth contest. He suffered a
broken arm.
AROUND THE CORNER
Sometime in the next couple
ol weeks we hope to contact,
or hear from, the high school
basketball coaches of the
area. It will help, if they tele
phone us or write us con
cerning their returning letter-!
men, other material and sea
son outlook. Schedules should
be mailed. The hoop season is
just around the corner,

Three New
Coaches on
UPI Board
New York Three new
coaches will serve on the 1962
63 United Press International

lege basketball teams for UPI
clients after games of Satur
day, Dec. 1.
As it was last year, five
coaches from each of the na
tion's seven geographical sec
tions will comprise the board.
The board has been rating ihc
country's small college teams
since the 1957-58 season and
its rankings have become rec
ognized generally as the most
authoritative m the field.
The three new coaches on
the board this year are Paul
Lynner of Hofstra college,
Bill Fitch of the University of
North Dakota, and Russ Wil
kerson of the College of
Puget Sound.
The first of the l!)t2-63 rat
ings will be released for Wed
nesday afternoon newspapers.
Dec. 5. The small college rat
ings will be released alter
nately for Wednesday after
noon and Thursday morning
newspapers each week during
the season.
Before their first weekly
ratings, the 35 coaches wiil
predict in a pre-season ballot
how the nation's small college
basketball teams will rank at
the end of the season. These
pre-season ratings will be car
ried for Wednesday afternoon
newspapers of Nov. 2R nnri
Thursday morning newspapers
OI 1NOV. 2H.
Each of the 35 coaches will

dividual basis. Points are
awarded on the basis of 10
for a first-place vote, nine
for a second, and so, down to
one for a 10th.
