With 10 key players wnose pro experience totaled nearly lull years, tne word was oui tnat the Giants were "getting old." Fool Many People But they fooled a lot of people by winning for the nun lime in tne past seven seasons witn much the same personnel. And the mighty r ackers probably will have to battle to the last Sunday of the season, exactly reversing last season's order of clinch ing. The Packers clung to their one-game lead in the Western Division by trouncing the Los Angeles Rams, 41-10, while the second-place Detroit Lions kept pace with a 21-14 rally ing victory over the Baltimore Colls. In Sunday's other games, the Philadelphia Eagles came from behind to beat the Washington Redskins, 37-14; the Dallas Cowboys upset the Cleveland Browns, 45-21; the San Francisco Forty Niners drubbed the Minnesota Vik ings, 35-12, and the Pittsburgh Steelcrs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 19-7. Field Goal Wins Chandler's 16-yard field goal in the sixin ..-.inute of the final period provided the Giants with the margin (or the win which boosted their season record to an insur mountable 10-2. Chandler earlier had kicked field goals of 26, 47 and 37 yards. The Bears came storming back after Chandler's fourlh kick and narrowed the Giants' lead to two points on a 25 yard touchdown pass from Billy Wade to Angelo Coia. But the Giants ran out the clock on the rushes of Alex Webster and Joe Morrison and a 50-yard punt by Chandler. A 15-yard penalty against defensive end Ed O'Bradovich of the Bears for punching Phil King of the Giants were lead ing only 20-17 at the time and the penalty put them on the Bears' 29. Chandler kicked his third field goal a few plays later. Horning Returns Paul Horning returned to full-lime duty with the Pack ers for the first time in seven weeks and scored their frist touchdown against the Rains by catching a 30-yard pass from Bart Starr. Jim Taylor bucked over for two scores, Starr threw another short touchdown pass to Ron ' LUBRICATION WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY ONLY Complete Wheel Alignment Call for Appointment Correct Laster Set Toe-'n Adjust Steering Check All Paris Set Camber FREE BRAKE INSPECTION 25,000 Mile Guarantee Bonded Lining Installed AS LOW AS WHEEL BALANCE 140 Includes All Weights SEARS Kramer and Jerry Kramer kicked two field goals as the Packers regained their win ding habit after their Thanks giving Day loss at Detroit. Reserve quarterback Earl Morrall came off the bench in the final period and engin eered two touchdown drives that gave the Lions their vic tory over the Colts. Morrall passed 11 yards to Nick Piet rosante for the winning score with less than two minutes re maining. Johnny Unitas passed for both Baltimore touchdowns in the fourth per iod, the second sailing 49 yards to Jimmy Orr. At Dallas, Amos Marsh rushed for 117 yards and Don Perkins for 92 to supplement Don Meredith's two touch down passes in the Cowboys' surprisingly easy win over the Browns. Jimmy Brown of Cleveland was held to 29 rushing yards. Eagles Beat 'Skim The Eagles, trailing by two touchdowns in the second period, sprang to life when Tim Brown ran back a kickoff 99 yards and beat Washing ton. Brown scored again on a three-yard plunge and on a surprise 10-yard toss from flanker Tommy McDonald on a fake end-around play as the Eagles broke the game open. Lou Michaels of Pittsburgh kicked four field goals and Willie Daniel ran 49 yards with an intercepted pass as the defense scored all of the Steelcrs' points against St. Louis. The longest of Mich aels' field goals was a 37 yarder. His four kicks and a conversion gave him a team scoring record of 87 for the season. John Brodie threw four touchdown passes, three of them to Bernie Casey, in San Francisco's win at Minnesota. Leo Nomellini, Forty Niners tackle, was honored by his former University of Minne sota team mates on the oc casion of his 158th consecu tive NFL game.

Clinch National Fanfare Desire and ability to rise up to meet the challenges-along with its state championship will be the quality remem bered about Medford High school's 1962 football team. Its defense was terrific -the best under the Coach Fred Spiegelberg regime. It drew well -deserved and high ac claim. In the title game it got one touchdown and paved the way for the other. But, without the fine of fensive unit working, too, there could have been no championship nor no Tornado in the title game. For the Big Wind's multiple attack with its power drives and sudden thunder almost without ex ception got the touchdowns along the victory trail. GREAT TEAM There'll be compa r i s o n i mad of this year's Black Tor nado team with the great Med ford aggregations of the past. When this is done, the thing to be remembered is that the Tornadoes of '62 also achiev ed greatness. A team which goes through the season with out a tie or loss, which is the only Big school club to go through the season unblem ished and which wins the stale championship just has to be a great one. PARADOXICAL DISTINCTION The Twister had the para doxical distinction going into the championship encounter of being a "No. 1 rated under dog." While Medford was top ranked in the polls, North Salem was established as the favorite to win the Class A-l finale. Polls, largely guesswork, have to be taken with reser vation. For the ratings stop just before the playoffs where the real showdown begins. Outcome of the playoffs, nevertheless left little argu ment against the top ranking of the Black Tornado. When Coach Spiegelberg heard last week that his team was being made the underdog for the finale it was "the best news I've heard all season." SHOOK THEM OFF Medford ability to show it self equal to a challenge stood out particularly in four games. Crater, Grants Pass, Roseburg and Oregon -iry an gave Mediord what to fans seemed anxious moments. But the Tornado had the will and the might to shake them off by coming 1 up with the big play or rumbling marches. CRATER AS TOUGH Gary Griffin, linebacker and defensive captain of the Black Tornado who scored on the pass interception against North Salem, remarked that Southern Oregon conference foe Crater was as hard to stop as were the Vikings. Quarterback Dan Miles, who geared assaults through the season, felt that the Tor nado offense moved well enough against the bulkier Vikings but that penalties damaged the Medford attack. BLACK SHIRTS SWARM North Salem reputedly had mobility to go along -with its site. But. the Vikings in last Friday's titular skirmish were no match for Tornado speed and quickness. This came into focus when North would seem to open the way for a polen lial big gain only to have the gap fill with a swarm of black-thirled Tornado players to nail the Viking packer. COLLETTE STOPPED While Griffin's touchdown, his only one this season, got the Tornado all the points actually needed for victory the North Salem threat to even matters was not over until the Medford's rose to slop Viking fullback Gary ; Colletle early in the fourth quarter on fourth down in mulficld. North needed just a half- yard and figured Colletle was good for that much anytime. That he didn't make it must have shaken the Viks a bit. It was all but over for the Viks from that point. Colletle, top NS gainer, was injured a bit later. But, had he not been it's doubtful it would have made a diflcrence. MEASURES UP When an all-star team is picked, the sponsor is happy for the opportunity to see a man prove himself. Such was the case of Leo Davis, sports writer for the Portland Ore- gonian, Friday niqhi. He di verted his attention from the play by clay to wa'ch Med ford end Lloyd Hamiront, Oregonian first team all-state selection, and noted thai the Tornado Hank man was doing a great job at his post. PASERO PRAISES George Pasero, sports edi tor of the Oregon Journal, had this to say about the Black Tornado following the cham pionship game: "In its long and wonderful sports history. Medford hish may have produced, bigger, MEDFORD. OREGON Eastern Loop By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor stronger and flashier teams than this year's state cham pionship crew. "But none ever hustled more, scrambled more, played with more fire and desire than these 1962 victors over North Salem's powerhouse team .... Pasero quotes Spike Hill- strom, North coach as saying: "They really outscrambled us, especially in the first half. Gosh, our big kids are not that slow. .They (Medford) take great pride in their defense. WOULD BE BIGGER CROWD Wonder what the sise of the crowd would have been had the state A-l grid cham pionship been played in Med ford. Surely as big. if not big ger than the 8,068 at Port land's Multnomah stadium even with seating here only for 7,500. EIGHT FIRST DOWNS A couple of statistic changes in the Sunday story on the championship game were phoned in but somehow were not made in the copy. There were eight first downs in the game with Medford having three to North's five. Collette had 75 yards on 21 carries for the Vikings and Del Schaeffer 43 for 13 times. NO BIG WELCOME There was no big commu nity welcome for the Black Tornado champions when they rolled into Medford Sat urday evening. They just quietly arrived home. Could it be that Medford champion ships are just too common place or was the reason some misunderstanding on the time of their arrival? Or, were all the real fans still in Portland or on their way back? We were told Saturday morning that the squad likely would arrive home around 4 to 4:30 p.m. Understand it was being broadcast that they were due at 6:30 p.m. Actually, the players arrived about 3:45 p.m. A Mail Tribune staff member went out to the Med ford stadium, and waited two hours for the team not knowing that they had come a couple of hours before. ANDERSON UO COG Jerry Anderson, ex - Med ford high all-stater, loomed as the main cog on the Univer sity of Oregon basketball team when we saw him per form Saturday night against Brigham university. The 6-4 junior, with a year of varsity ball behind him looked the polished ball player. Anderson displayed good moves, shot well, rebounded with dexterity and played fine defense. He led the Web foots with 22 points. The ex Tornado started and went most of the distance. He was removed for a spell with about five minutes left in the game then was sent back into action. ANDERSON VS. QUINNEY On the BYU aggregation was an old Medford teammate of Jerry's, Bob Quinney, also an ex-all-slater. Quinney made his Cougar varsity debut, as a sophomore, in the series with UO. He overcame early tenseness and went on to do some good work for the Utah club, much improved over his reported rough opening night on Friday. Bob. who started on Friday, was on the bench at the open ing whistle on Saturday. But, he soon was sent into action and played the rest of the way. EX-MEDFORDS DUEL Quinney and Anderson duels were frequent on the court. The more experienced Anderson had the edge. Bob soloed for one score off a steal from Andy. Quinney showed the potential which will come with seasoning and the fact that he played so much was evidence that Coach Stan Watts is confi dently banking on him. Bob, who topped BYU scoring with 15 markers, remarked follow ing the tussle that he was reallv tired. DULL GAME The Saturday hoop game, itself, was rather dull. After a 5-all deadlock, Oregon pull ed to 23 to 7. The margin was upped to 18 points at 33 to 15 on an eight-point Anderson splurge. The Cougars cut the Ore gon lead to nine points at 61 to 52 with about 10 minutes left to play hut could not come any closer. BAKER.

The tangle played at Wil lamette university in Salem represented the third loss by Southern Oregon in the tour ney. Linfield college topped the Red Raiders 82-69 on Thursday. On Friday Wil lamette downed the Ashland school 61-53. Against the Vikings of Port land on Saturday, Southern Oregon battled to an eight point iialflime lead. In the second half, the Vikings work ed the ball better and worked for good shots to go in front. SOC had the first half re bounding margin. Dave Graham of SOC and Jim Hollingsworth of PSC fought for control of the boards with Hollings worth bringing down 16 to Graham's 15. Flanary was high point man for SOC by hitting .444 from the floor and 1.000 from the free throw line for a total of 13 points.
