Already To Go Mcdford's Black Tornado is already to go, Coach Frank Tlnclandl said last evening. He reported good spirit on the iiquad and a lot of drive and hustle.

"We've been working on our break." At the start of the week, Hoffinc remarked that the Comets needed lo take at least one of their week end scuffles against a pair of tough foes. Naturally, the Comets will try lo grab victories in both. The Crater mentor reported that his squad, as of yester day evening was intact. Ex cept for some colds, every body was hcullhy. Mcdford crushed Ashland by 44 points the last time the two teams met. Grants Pass also beat the Orizzlics handily in the first engagement.
