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."

Corvallis will bring an un
balanced T offense with the
line's long side to the left.
Against this Medford will play
a multiple T and single wing
attack with line long to the
right.
The Spart assault is geared
by Bill Robertson at quarter
back with Dick Gerding, Mark
Gustafson and Dick Watenpaugh
the other backs. Corvallis has
lost halfback Sandy Green to
South Salem High where Med

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.
The new season gets under
way Saturday with the St. Louis
Cardinals meeting the Cowboys
at Dallas and the Los Angeles
Rams at home to the Detroit
Lions.
On Sunday's program, the
Green Bay Packers entertain
the Chicago Bears; the New
York Giants are pitted against
the Colts at Baltimore; the
Browns are at home against the
Washington Redskins; the Phila
delphia Eagles are host to the
Pittsburgh Steclers, and the
San Francisco Forty Niners
play the Minnesota Vikings on
the West Coast.
64 Class A
Grid Frays
Tonight
By United Press International
Oregon's high school football
season begins tonight with 64
games in the class A-l and A-2
ranks. Another 12 contests are
scheduled Saturday.
Defending state champion
Medford, given a good chance
of repeating if it can get by
Grants Pass and Klamath Falls
in its own league, opens at home
against Corvallis in a non-con
ference game. The other two
preseason favorites collide in a
non-league game at Klamath
Falls.
Roseburg, expected to be the
Midwestern league winner and
a strong contender for state hon
ors, starts out with a conference
contest in Eugene against Willamette.
North Versus South
North Salem, last year's slate
runner-up, plays crosstown rival
South high in a non-conference
game. Beaverlon, winner of the
Metro league title last fall, is
nost to Hillsboro in a conference
game, and Oregon City opens
defense of its Tualatin-Yamhill
Valley league title at home
against Tigard.
Portland schools play Satur
day, with defending champ Jef
ferson at Madison. Pendleton,
the Inter-mountain winner last
year, is at Bend Saturday.
Central tunes up for what it
hopes will be a second straight
state A-2 title by playing
Sweet Home of the Valley
league at Sweet Home tonight.
Runner-up Seaside is host to
Concordia in a Cowapa league
game.
One new name makes its ap
pearance on the high school
scene. Eugene's Sheldon High
school plays its first football
game at Springfield.
Estacada and Canby move up
from Class A-2 to A-l in the Wil-
co league. Estacada is at Wy'
east and Canby travels to Mo-
lalla.
HALFBACK FOR MilS Greg

Links Lead
EUGENE, Ore. (UPI) - Co
fident Mickey Wright went in
to the second round of the Eu
gene Women's Open golf tourna
ment today with a two-stroke
lead and high hopes of becom
ing one of the two winningest
women golfers of all time.
"Even-par here would be pret
ty good golf," Miss Wright of
fered after she fired a three-un-der
71 in the first round Thurs
day. She birdied five of the six par
5 holes on the Eugene Country
club course and picked up a
sixth birdie by sinking a 30-foot
putt on the par 3 17th hole.
A victory here would be her
lllh of the year, an all-time
record for a woman golfer. It
also would give her 50 career
victories, tying the Ladies Pro
fessional Golf Association re
cord held by Betsy Rawls.
Tied at second after the first
round were Peggy Wilson of
Austin, Tex., and Kathy Whit
worth of Jal, N. M., who won
