Floridans Keep No. 1 Poll Spot NEW YORK (UPI) -Florida A&M, paced by "world's fastest human," Bob Hayes, was rated the No. 1 small college football team in the nation today by the United Press International board of caoches for the second consecutive week. However, Northern Illinois, which moved up to second, and third-ranked Delaware received more first-place votes than the Rattlers and cut the Florida team's point lead nearly in half since the preceding week. There were no new entries to the top 10, but there was quite a bit of shuttling. Texas A&I jumped from eighth to fourth and drew five first-place ballots. Montana State moved from sixth to fifth, San Diego State, from seventh to sixth and Wit tenberg, from a ninth place tie to seventh. Lenoir Rhyne, the only team in the top 10 beaten last week end, fell from fourth to eighth, Central Oklahoma dropped four notches to ninth and East Carolina slipped from a nine-place tie to 10th.

Medford, like Crater, the winner in three games, has suffered one setback out of state. Crater victories have been 7-0 over Lebanon, 26-2 over Sweet Home and 48-13 over Co- quille high. Medford, girding for defense of its conference and state Class A-l championships, trimmed Corvallis 21-0, North Salem 32-13 and South Salem 19-7. It was dumped by Boise, Idaho, 25-0. More Manpower It's for the reasons of overall greater depth of manpower and for pre loop play against t tougher slate of foes that Med ford carries the favored role. But there are comparisons which can be made in this sea son's Southern and Valley league interplay which demon strate that the Fireballs can t be discounted as a threat. Crater, which took the first game between the two schools, 20-14 back in 1953, has not won over the Tornado since that time but came close to ending the Whirlwind string last fall. Medford survived by a al'm 7-0 count. Other Tornado margins over the years have been 41-19 in 1954, 37-0 in 1955, 34-12 in 1956, 40-14 in 1957, 26-0 in 1958, 54-6 in 1959, 48-6 in 1960 and 49-0 in 1961. In last year s fracas at Cen tral Point, the Comets seemed bound for a touchdown which could have meant a triumph un til halfback Darryl Summerfield sustained an elbow dislocation which sidelined him for the sea son and hurt Comet defense as well as offense. This fall Sum merfield is back but Coach Keith Johnson says he's not yet physically up to par alter re ceiving an ankle injury in the Lebanon encounter. Ryerson Question Mark John Hall likely will alternate with Summerfield at right half. Comet guard and tackle Den ny Ryerson, who hurt his ankle Tuesday (his good one, not the one he hurt before), is a ques tion mark. Jim Pitts could play in his spot on offense and Don Gail or Jack Peck for him on defense. Medford has some injury prob lems and sickness and colds to go with them. End Bill Hous ton is still hobbled by a knee RR Harriers Win 19-36 ROGUE RIVER - Rogue Kiver high s cross-country run ners downed Phoenix 19-36 yeS' tcrday. Hon JInillcka was individual first for Rogue River with 9:31 time for their 1.8-milo course Jay Thomas was second for Phoenix. Four Rogue River runners were next in order Ron Ross third, Bill Hinzle fourth, Larry Ford fifth and Bob Fabrick sixth. Then followed Phoenix runners Bill Shaw seventh, Dean McDowell eighth, Dan Becson ninth and Ron Iligdon 10th. Kart Races On Sunday Medford kartwnvs will have its regular race program on Sunday. Participants are expected from Happy Camp and Yreka, Calif., and from Roseburg. Time trials will start at noon with races billed shortly there after. Gales open at 11 a.m. NV PLAYERS HONORED PORTLAND (UPI) -Pacific halfback Hob Butler and tackle Mike Kostraba of Lewis and Clark Wednesday were named back and lineman of the week, respectively, in the Northwest Conference. Butler gained 104 yards in 22 carries in a 21-20 win over Whitman last Satur day. Kostraba was a key figure in the Pioneer defense that held Willamette to 137 yards rushing in a 41-13 victory. Walker Heads Drivers Into Final Jalopy Race Jim Walker, hnrd driving ja lopy jockey from Talent, leads all contenders for high point honors going into the final race of the season, scheduled for this Sunday afternoon at the Med ford speedway at White City. Walker, who has driven car number 97 through the season, has amassed 303 points. Al though he leads the nearest competitor by more than 40 points he does not have the point honors won. Either Pat Tyler, Medford, with 260 counters or Charles Davis, Ashland, with 235 could pass Walker in this Sundays race. Because of the closeness of this trio for the point cham pionship race officials feel there will be a real battle develop during the SO-lap feature run Spice will be added to the scramble by the other top driv ers. This will be the only 50-lap race here this year. Ashland's Harold Hardesty is a darkhnrse in the long endur ance race. Hardest)' won top hurt against North Salem. Half back Jim Cox has an ailing back. Linebacker Dick Bottger was expected to be sidelined by knee injury against South Salem. But, the knee is respond ing well to treatment and he'll likely see some duty Friday night. Fullback Bill Enyart missed drill Monday and Tuesday be cause of sickness. Tom Wooton was absent Monday and end Steve Davis was sick Wednes day. Murray Both Ways Tim Murray likely will open at left half in place of Cox and at end again for Houston. George Dames probably will be the linebacker starting where Bottger has held forth. Greg Dippel will be fullback starter if Enyart is still under the weath er as well as play one lineback er. Spiegelberg indicated that Chuck Kimball will be back in starting role at guard with Don Coltrane alternating with him. Along with hard work this week, the Tornado has aimed at improving its passing at tack. "We've spent a lot of time on it, said Spiegelberg. Crater began tapering off yes terday when defense got main attention. There were hard drills on Monday with emphasis on offense and on Tuesday when defense had the stress. T h e Comets go against the Tornado with close to two weeks of prep aration since they had an open date last Friday. Workouts last week peaked on Thursday when "good contact dnu was neia.

Bowler ROXY ANN BOWLING LANES arch rival of the gridiron, St. Mary's high. The Rogue league game will be at 8 p.m. on Saturday at Phoenix. St. Mary's - Phoenix football has developed into spirited ri valry a big game for each school. Outlook for the Medford school has not loomed so bright this season. But, just the same, the way the Pirates see it, the Crusaders are bound to be tough again for them this year. In fact, the slate toughens for the Bucancers from here on out. And, they would have welcomed a couple of harder struggles, in place of the easy tests, to get them ready for the Crusader club. Illness Hampers Illness has hampered t h e preparations of the Bucs some what this week. As of yesterday. however, all hands were pres ent with the exception of tackle Gary McGarity. Bob Fenton may start in his place. About equal time has been spent on offense and defense. Quite a bit of time went yester day to goal line defense and to day a lot of work was planned on all possible defenses it is felt the Crusaders may use against the Pirates. In the last couple of games, there was much Phoenix sub stitution in units. Coach Jack Woodward said that this plan will not be followed so much against St. Mary's. But, he does intend to play a lot of boys. He mentioned end Eugene Hill, tackle Charles Martin and line backer Dick Unruh as reserves who have shown well and are bound to see action Saturday night. Batzer To Play News from St. Mary's is that quarterback John Batzer, out two games because of injury to his knee, will see some service. Freshman Eric Jensen still will bear the heavy duties. Coach Bill McKibbin said that S.M coaches are "real pleased" with Jensen's progress. Status of SM halfback Don Valentine, who hurt his knee in the tussle with Illinois Valley, won't be known until Friday. Stellar SM guard John Lucas has been bothered by an ailing back but McKibbin reported that it appears okeh. The Crusaders "have added a little to our offense," McKibbin stated. Fundamentals have had attention in practices. Time was spend on defense yesterday and more was to be spent today.
