Sweet Home Rival f Crater Comets CENTRAL POINT-"We can't po anywhere bul up," Coach Luke Fioranle of the Sweet Home Huskies told a Willamette valley newspaper recently. That is still true as the Class A-l Huskies prepare this week to meet the Crater Com' ets of Central Point in a noiv league game. The game will be at 8 p.m. at Sweet Home. While the locall Comets were Beating Lebanon last Friday, Sweet Home took a 39 to 0 pasting from defending stale A-2 cham pion Central of Monmouth. In a pie-season assessment, Fiorante reported that the Hu.-ky club "looks much im proved over last season, but we are si ill pretty thin with no depth which seems to be a fa miliar story." In thin ranks there's a simi- I. nily with Crater's Comets. The Fireballs are no strangers to Ihe problem. II. is Heft One tiling the Sweet Home club does appear to have is heft. The front line averages around 194 pounds. And, the backfield averages at 160 with plrnty of speed available when needed. Lettermen are Jon Edwards, quarterback; Ed Seiber and Mike Cloy, fullbacks; Delmer Johnson, "end; -Mike Easterly, Gary Gill and Jack Burrell, tackles; Lynn Jenkins, tackle swiu hed from center: Dave Horner and Jerry Whit e, guards. Easterly, at 219, car ries the top weight on the ball club. Other top candidates include Kerry Hoffman, quarterback; Slel Andrews, fullback; Ron Kw.-in, Jack Myrick and Jim Kolka. halfbacks: Dave Ander son, tackle, and Steve Richards, renter. Ewan is a transfer from Estacada. As the Crater Comets trim med for the Willamette Valley jaunl, amount of service from quarterback Darryl Summer field and fullback Vern Swan son was uncertain. Summer field got his ankle banged in the Lebanon game last Friday and hasn't been in pads this week. Swanson suffered a bruised rib cage against the Warriors and rebumped those ribs yesterday in drill. Summerfield has been run ning and working to put the ankle in shape and the swelling has gone down. It's a good pos sibility that he can be used sparingly. Still Roger Neufeld has been running the offense from quarterback and Coach Keith Johnson figures he may pull Ray White from the line into Summerfield's linebacker spot and send Don Gail or Jack Peck into the line. Charley Taylor has been groomed a fullback in case Swanson's doctor rules against his play. v O M7 vVA w 21 AT COMET FLANK Bob Turner, above, plays end for the Crater High school Comet foot ball crew which vies at Sweet Home on Friday evening.

PAGhS 1 to 10 MEDFORDhTRIBUNX SIPdDIffiTS MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, UHvt St. Mary's At Glenda Freshman quarterback Eric Jensen is expected to draw a starting assignment Fri day night for the St. Mary's high Crusaders. The Mcdford parochial school's football team travels for a non-league game at Glen dale. John Batzcr, junior quarter back who started last week for t h e Crusaders against Glide, Nicklaus Defends PORTLAND (UP1) - Dave Marr of New Rochelle, N.Y. won $300 in first money in the $3,000 pro - amateur tournament Wednesday as a prelude to the start of the $30,000 Portland Open. Marr shot a six under par, 66, one stroke ahead of Bob Goetz, Tulsa, Okla., and Paul Bonde son, Northbrook, III. WORK ON DEFENSE CORVALLIS (UPD- The Ore gon State football team concen trated on defense Wednesday in preparation for Saturday night's season opener against Utah at Salt Lake City. PORTLAND, Ore. (UPD -Big Jack Nicklaus, the young Masters and PGA champion, opened defense of his Portland Open championship today in an effort to catch Arnold Palmer in the money-winning derby. Finishing out of the money for only the fourth time in his career in the Seattle Open last week, Nicklaus polished h i s game on the practice tee and fairways at Columbia - Edgewa ter here and was the established favorite. Winning last year with a 19-under-par 269, including a two stroke penalty for slow play, Nicklaus estimated it would take no more than a 272 this year. To Play le Friday sustained a bone chip in his hand. Coach Bill McKibbin re ported that, while Batzer likely will see some action, it is plan ned to start the freshman signal I caller. Fullback Jef Randolph, like Batzcr, has not been in pads this week. He's had an infected elbow. But, McKibbin feels he should be ready for duty against the Pirates. This week's ailments have been compensated for a bit by the return of halfback Anthony Mete. He missed the Glide en gagement because of a foot bruise. Unit Work McKibbin reported that there have been some person n e 1 chances hut did not elahorate. I He stated that the Crusaders have been doing a lot of unit work in practice and have add ed to their passing game a lit tle. The head coach said that the Mcdford club is going to Glen dale "cold" so far as knowledge of the Pirates is concerned. Glcndale absorbed a 33 to 13 de feat at the hands of Rogue Riv er while St. Mary's was tving Glide 12 to 12. The game should give St. Mary's some indication of how it compares with Rogue league foe Rogue River. Probable starters for S.M on offense are Dan Kosmatka, cen ter; John Lucas and Steve Cook, guards; Mike Hutchinson and Randy Corliss, tackles, Dennis Rose and Rob Roberts, ends; Jensen, quarterback; Don Val entine and Mete, halfbacks, and Tim Sakraida, fullback. For defense Dennis O'Hara is to go in for Valentine, Ray Rich ter for Kosmatka and Ron Beck er for Cook. Tornado Gridders On Road To Boise "We hope to uphold the pres tige of Oregon."

Both British Deflate Yankee Golfers DALMAHOY, Scotland (UPD Dave Ragan and Billy Max well, two slightly deflated mem bers of the United States Ryder Cup team, led five other Yanks in action today in the $22,400 Senior Service Golf tournament. The 72-hole event on the 6,663 yard, par-71 Dalmahoy course was expected to provide Ragan and Maxwell with a chance to regain some of Ihe prestige they lost in Wednesday's "Little Ry der Cup" matches on the same links. Maxwell, of Las Vegas, New, and Ragan, who plays out of Or lando, Fla., suffered bad beat ings as a team of British pros upset a makeshift U.S. squad by a total of six holes. Neil Coles, a chunky English man who already has been named to the British Ryder Cup team will meet the U.S. at At lanta next month, overpowered Ragan, 7-up.

Fire in the woods is still a major threat With the advent of warm fall weather, fire in the woods is still a major hazard to the safety and economic well-being of the Northwest. Fortunately there have been no really serious fires so far this year. Foresters say people have been particularly careful while in the woods. This is no time to let down. September and October are often the months of greatest danger. And this year conditions are worse than ever. Columbus Day windstorms left more than 11 billion board feet of blow-down on the forest floor. Private industry and government agen cies have been working hard for many months to clean it up but most of it is still there. It is ready to explode like a month-old Christmas tree at the touch of the slightest spark. Whole communities could be wiped out. So just because the summer is over, don't drop your guard. Wherever you go in the woods this fall, please do your part to prevent fire. Whenever possible, stay in established camping areas. Please observe fire closures. Build fires only in areas provided for them and make sure they are out when you leave. Fire prevention is everybody's job. If you do your part, we can get through the year without a disaster.
