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

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE.
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.

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
