1 m w JJ 2 SUNDAY, UtCLMBtH 2. 1862 MHDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNK, MEDFORD, OREGON lack Tornado Comes Home Champion With 14-0 Victory Griffin, Toews Score; Medford Defense Keeps Vikings Whitewashed Multnomah Stadium Portland Medford High school's tremendous loot ball aggregation carved out its special niche In 1 the Black Tornado football hall of fame here Friday night by annexing the Oregon Class A-l championship. The Tornadoes, No. 1 rat ed in the prep polls but ac corded underdog status for the titular finale, lived up to the former billing and dis puted and played havoc with the latter. They flattened North Salem's heftier Vik ings by a 14 to 0 score. Magnificent defense main ly told the story as the Big Wind of Pear City challeng ed the adage that "might makes right" and completed an 11-game 1962 slate un beaten and untied. The Tor nadoes ga rnered their school's third official grid diadem, the second In four seasons. And, they joined the ranks first formed by those mythical Medford champions who were the terrors of the '20s. Griffin, Toews Tall A 26-yard pass Intercep tion runback by defensive captain and linebacker Gary Griffin first scored for the Medford Hurricane three minutes Into the second per iod. It was his only touch down of the year. Steve Toews, reserve halfback, added the clincher with 37 seconds left to play. Follow ing up a fumble recovery by John Mee, Toews touch downed on a four-y a r d smash. Dan Miles, diminutive quarterback, kicked both conversion points. "Medford won that one all the way," a dressing room-bound sports editor de clared after the final horn. Victory was a tribute to the Medford bandit unit. Asked if defense won It, a thrilled and proud head Tornado coach, Fred Spiegcl bcrg, replied, "Darn right, it did." Gave No Quarter Recognized as the best de fenders In the slate and call ed by Spiogolberg the "best defensive team we've had," the Bandits went out to prove it In the title battle. Em ploying their speed and quickness, the Tornadoes yield yards at times. But, they gave no quarter to the beefier Vikings, whose brawn was supposed to win ii. North Salem, ending its season with an 8-4 standing, got no closer to the goal than to the Medford 30-yard line. Guys Up Front Spiegelberg, hesitant to single out individuals, re marked, "the eight guys up front did a beautiful Job." They were mainly ends Roy Shaw and Bill Houston, tack les Mike Mayfield, and Mee, guards Brian Petersen and Terry Winctrotit and line backers Bill Enyart and Grif fin. And, Jack Lowery boom ed up from sufcly to help out. Medford offense, mov ing the ball well, as its line men pushed back hefty Vik ing defenders, was beset pen alties in Its bids for scoring drives. Penalties also frus trated Coach Spike Hill alrom's North Salem crew. Breaks had their role in the scrape. One set the stage for Grif fin's interception run. John Kau'liatciirian, back to punt, for Salem, bobblrd the ball and Houston hit him. Peter sen recovered on the North 2 1 yard line. Medford moved up to t lie 15 yard but lost the ball when Katchaturian broke up a Miles pass and North Salem's Phil While snared it before it hit the ground. Whitt Pass Backfires North took over on lis 1!) and Griffin grabbed off the pass by White and scored. Middle portion of the first half was played in North territory. In the late third period the Viks moved out to force the Tornado hack But, they got no farther than the Tornado 48. Gary Col- letlc quick-kicked 43 VurH. I " to the Medford five.

Then, Tim Murray, whose long punts were vital in the y Builders Supply quality BLOCKS Chimneys A 1 , t I P'Mtre tied PHONI 773-4371 fray, booted 48 yards to get Medford out of danger. When next the Tornado forwards stopped the powerful-running fullback Collctte short of first down on the SO, the balance swung to Med ford. The Hurricane moved to the NS 36 only to have Rod Allison intercept a Miles' pass. Two plays netted NS to the 35 and Collctte was lost via a knee injury. His replacement, Scott Mclnlirc, was hit by Mee and fumbled. Petersen nabbed the ball on the North 25. Recovered on Four The Tornado gave up the ball on the 18-yard line. Jeff Lankow, trying to pass, lost three yards. He heaved one pass incomplete and Del Schaefer lost two to the 13 on a statue of liberty try. On fourth down with 50 seconds left to go, North chose to try a pass again. Lankow fum bled and Mee recovered on the four with 42 seconds re maining. Toews scored on the next play. Net scrimmage yardage was almost even In the game. Medford netted 124. includ ing four yards passing. North had 118 yards. It completed two passes, one for minus nine yards and one for plus the same. There were only seven first downs with North gaming lour and Medford three. Collctte was the night's big rushing gainer with 88 yards on 22 times with the ball. He had 10 and 16-yard packs both times with the ball in his own territory. Del Schaeffcr toted 12 times for NS for 30. Allison's 19 yards were cancelled by the setbacks of two other Vikings. Barnes Gains 46 Mike Barnes gained 46 for 10 for Medford, Lowery 32 for 10 and Mike Walkins 31 for eight. Miles completed the one pass to Barnes. He tossed the ball six times. Vik Coach Hillstrom voic ed praise for Medford's de fenders. "Have you seen de fense like that before?'' a re porter asked. "Not this year, no sir!" was the North Salem man's reply. "Little mistakes against that Medford outfit kill you," he remarked, and credited good Medford diagnosis for stopping Collctte short on the fourth down gamble in mid- field. Of his own club, Hillstrom said, "I couldn't ask more for effort." He added, "I sure thought we'd score." Portland papers had estab lished North favorite In the finale tilt on the strength of late season improvement. the showing a week ago against Jefferson, its advan tage of 25-pounds-per-man in the line, 210 pound quarter back Collcltc and wet condi tion of the field. Without Fear Medford, which has met big teams before this season, faced the Vikings without fear or intimidation, however. And, the field, while slippery, was belter than expected. The man who said Medford would win all the way was Al Lightner of Salem's Ore gon Statesman. The Tornado entered t h e playoff as Southern Oregon conference champion. It de feated Roseburg and Oregon City in elimination rounds, while North, winner of the Valley league and fifth rated In the final polls advanced by beating Pendleton and Jefferson. North was nnscor ed upon (until meeting Med ford) by lis Inst four foes. The Viks were one of eight learns which failed to reach the Medford end zone. Tribute for the undefeat ed, untied season also goes to head mentor Spirgelberg and his aides. Dean Benson, Paul F.vrnsen and Tom Mar ier.

NOW IN STOCK New Sano-Menthol CIGARETTES PIPE Earl'sN Navy Routs Army 34 Mississippi, Alabama By MARTIN LADER. UPI Sports Writer Navy, Southern California, Mississippi and Alabama swept the major prizes at stake on the final Big Satur day of the college football season. The Midshipmen, complet ing an otherwise mediocre campaign, got the one they wanted most by swamping Army, 34-14; top-ranked Southern California rolled to a 25-0 victory over Notre Dame; Mississippi overcame Mississippi State, 13-6, to move into the Sugar Bowl and Alabama secured an Or ange Bowl spot with a 38-0 rout of Auburn. Southern Cal thus wound up its first perfect season in 30 years and Mississippi re corded its first unblemished Kozak Wins Death Bout From Sasaki Nick Kozak survived two Japanese sleeper holds to win the Texas death match main event from Haru Sasaki in Thursday night's wrestling card at Medford armory. It took five falls to finish the match, which had no limit on the number of falls but was to go until one man could not answer the bell. That man was sasaki and Kozak made certain he wouldn't come back once the Canadian got the upper hand. Behind three falls to one, Kozak came out of the second sleeper hold to catch Sasaki in an airplane spin and gave him nine revolutions before slamming him to the mat. Kozak picked Sasaki up be fore the referee finished his count, slammed him into a turnbuckle and then gave him nine more spins. Sasaki had to be carried to the dressing room. Unusually Rough It was a fast match and un usually rough since only choke holds, eye gouging and low blows were barred. Sas aki started it even before Kozak got into the ring but they were broken up long enough to be introduced to one of the largest crowds to see a wrestling match here in some time. Wild Bill Savage spotted Ted Evans one fall and then turned on the rough stuff to win the next two in a fast scrap. Kozak said later that lie would like to have Savage as his next opponent and at tempts are under way to make the match. Buck Davidson showed flashes of his former crowd pleasing style as he came out of retirement to win from Kurt Von Poppcnhcim in the opener. The big German took the lone fall with a Boston crab hold but wouldn't re linquish it so the referee gave it to Davidson on a foul.

Sophomore Roger Stau bach was the individual hero for Navy, passing for two touchdowns and peionally carrying the ball for two oth ers. The Middies dominated play for most of the game as they scored an unprecedent ed fourth straight victory over Army. The Cadets still lead in the series, however, 30-28, with five ties. A crowd of 102,000 fans, including President Kennedy, viewed the traditional serv ice classic under warm and sunny skies in Philadelphia stadium. From the start they saw Navy and its poised young quarterback take the play from the unsteady Ca dets. Staubach, a 6-1, 195-pound-er from Concinnati, threw a 12-yard scoring pass to Neil Henderson in the first quar ter and a 65-yarder to Nick Markoff in the third period. His scoring dashes were on runs of 21 and three yards. Southern California, which will host Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, resgistered its first victory in six years over Notre Dame thanks to a strong team effort. Pile-driving Ben Wilson scored the first two touchdowns, both from a yard out, quarterback Pete Beathard contributed a brilliant job of signal-calling and the hard-charging Trojan defensive line refused to let the Irish penetrate too deep ly in its territory. Mississippi was involved in a bigger fight than it expect ed from 23-point underdog Mississippi State, but finally broke clear when sophomore quarterback Jim Weatherly scored from 43 yards out on a bootleg play with five min- Father-Son Trapshoot On Sunday Medford Gun club will hold a father and son trapshooting contest todav.
