KK1UAV, Sr-JPTEMHfcK 13, Wii AlbUfUKU MAIL 'IKIBUNK, MtlJKOKU, OKbOON Black Tornado Battles Corvallis On Bedford Field This Evening Results of three intense weeks of preparation will be unfolded on the proving ground tonight. Medford High school's Black Tornado and the Spartans ot Corvallis High come to grips on the Medford gridiron. It will be the season opener for both schools and the first football meeting of the Tornado and the Spartans in 22 years. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. Last year Medford's home starter was marked by grand stand dedication. Tonight's game will be the first upon a rebuilt and returfed playing sur face. And, there's concern on how the field will stand up after Thursday rains. There are high anticipations as the 1963 campaign is inaugu rated. Tonight's game is a non leasuer. But, Medford carries the banner of state champion ship defender. So prestige is mucn involved. Can't Tell Yet Some prognosticators feel that Medtord nas anouier power house in the making. For, the Black Tornado shows a lot of talent. Coach Fred Spiegelbsrg of the Medford's is reserved in his assessment of his griddcrs. "We should have a good team," the coach has said. But, he also has pointed out, "You just can't tell until they've play ed a game." In discussing tonight's con flict. SDieeelberE remarked, "Our size is pretty good. I know we're going to make mis takes. I just hope were are not too many." Lee Gustafson, the Spartan tutor, has told his hometown paper, "The key is the line. By the middle of the season we may have a pretty good football team." T Offense Medford Corvallis High Football PROBABLE OFFENSIVE LINEUPS Senior High Stadium Friday, 8 p. m.

The Spart assault is geared by Bill Robertson at quarter back with Dick Gerding, Mark Gustafson and Dick Watenpaugh the other backs.

NFL Begins 44th Year Bv United Press International The National Football league starts its 44th season Saturday night buoyed by the conviction that last winter's betting disclo sures have not marred its popu larity or prosperity. The banning of Paul Hornung and Alex Karras for betting on their own teams has inactivated two of the league's leading play' crs and undoubtedly gave NFL officials and club owners some anxious thoughts.
