Newspaper Page TextBedford, Crater High Football Clash Here Tonight in SO Loop suction b PAGES 1 to in MEDF0RDv&&TR1BI)NE SPORTS Storm anticipated Not ex-i actly nature's kind. Yet, it may i be a spectacular display. For, j it's the Fireballs against the! Whirlwinds this evening in Southern Oregon conference ' football. Medford High school's Black I Tornado and the Crater Lomets are the adversaries. They come together at the Medford stadi um. Kickoff will be at 8 p.m. It will be the league inaugural of 1963 for both schools, follow ing a slate of non-loop games. The aggregations get down to official business with champion ship in mind. Medford carries the standard of defending champ both in conference and DENKENSIVE BACK Ron Ed monds, above, 160, plays a safe ty on the defensive platoon of the Medford high football squad which meets Crater here this evening. state Class A-l play. The Com ets were fourth within the loop in 1962. It will be an upset minded Fireball invader that goes against the Hurricane. For, the Tornado is rated No. 1 ' in the prep polls while Crater is un rankod. Fiery Skirmish And, there's expectation of a fiery battle. For, there's some thing about playing Medford that generally brings out best effort by the Comets. Coach Keith Johnson's cohort of grid ders is likely to pull out all stops and try to spring a few surprises against Coach Fred Spicgelberg's agg r e g a t i o n, which is favored, has more depth in personnel and may come up with a few machina tions of its own. There's an inclination to re gard Crater as a sleeper in the circuit. The T formation Comets will throw backs Roger Neufeld, Darryl Summerfield, Sherm Ki- ger, John Hall, Vern Swanson and Chuck Taylor against Med fords. And Medford with its multiple attack will have Mike Barnes, Greg Gandee, Bill En yart, Tim Murray and Greg Dippel among its threats. Memory of the 1962 game at Central Point could fire both contingents. The Comets came close to ending nine-year Med ford domination, holding the Tornado to a 7-0 nod. No other team held Medford to just a single touchdown last fall. And, its performance ranked t h e Fireballs among the toughest challengers Medford faced along its stormy path to the state crown. Rain May Dampen While the storm upon the field is expected to be a foot ball one, nature may have some influence on the game. The field could be wet. The weather bureau reported .16 of an inch of rain early today and forecast widely scattered showes. Crater comets over to Medford MEDFORD ROSTER: 1.

Although the Beavers are un defeated this season while Washington has lost three in a row, oddsmakers still rate that game a toss-up. The Beavers have a potent i passing combination in quarter i back Gordon Queen to end Vern Burke. And, after last Satur- day's 22-15 victory over Bay lor, Coach Tommy Prothro can count on the proven talents of fullback Charlie Shaw, and half backs Danny Espalin and Leroy Whittle. I Washington, which has seen its starting ranks depleted via ; injuries and illness, can still ! boast a rugged ground defense. j Fullback Junior Coppey, who broke a foot five weeks ago, got I in some contact work for the with a perfect record of 3-0 in non-league games. It has won over Lebanon, Sweet Home and Coquille. Medford, 3-1, has downed South and North Salem and Corvallis and lost to Boise, Idaho. Medford has rolled up 72 points in its four frays this sea son and yielded 45. The Comets in their three hassles have run up 71 and allowed just 15. The overall competition Med ford has faced is considered tougher. But, Crater in beating Lebanon turned back a club which looms a challenger in the Valley league to three of the Tornados non-league foes this fall.

He whipped nasty Don Duffy after a gruel ling match and then won the battle royal, with its side purse of $200. Bockwinkle had to defeat Tough Tony Borne to win the battle royal. Borne wasn't satis fied with the outcome and chal lenged Bockwinkle to a regular match. The good-looking Minne apolis youngster was more than willing and matchmaker Elton Owen promptly signed them for the main event at the armory next Thursday night, Oct. 17. It was a hectic evening, dur ing which first the ring broke down and then the big overhead light went out. A large support cracked when Gil Ane threw Art (Boom Boom) Mahalik across the ring during the curtain-raising match. They went to a no-fall draw. As Mahalik was leaving the ring when he was eliminated in the battle royal, he tripped over an extension cord, extinguishing tne tug ring light. The battle royal continued in darkness un til armory personnel could find the trouble. In the feature preliminary match Borne whipped Dick Dunn. The order of elimination in the free-for-all was Dunn, Ma halik, Ane, Duffy and finally Borne. RAIDER QUARTERBACK Bill Bailey, above, is a 155-pound, 6-1 junior from Anderson, Calif., who quarterbacks the Southern Oregon college football team. The Raiders play Eastern Ore gon at LaGrande on Saturday afternoon. SOC Red Raiders Play at LaGrande ASHLAND Southern Oregon college's Red Raiders carry their Oregon Collegiate confer ence football defense another step this Saturday. They play Eastern Oregon in a 1:30 p.m. scuffle at La Grande It will be the second road game this season for the Raid ers who are 3-1 for the fall. Coach Al Akins of the SOC club said that scouting reports show the Mountainers to be a big team although young. The big EOC forward wall could play havoc with both the rushing and passing game of the Raiders but Akins still is count ing on the air-ground balanced offense which has made the Ashlanders tops within their league. SOC's attack combine includes Bill Bailey who leads the loop in passing, Denny Ellis top OCC man in receiving, Doug Olsen who heads the loop in scoring and Dave Nord who is the lead ing Raider rusher. Eastern Oregon was loser last week in its first league outing, 38 to 0, to Portland State. SOC looms the favorite at La Grande but often has encoun tered trouble on the northeast Oregon field.

Bucks Defeat Portland Crew By United Press International The Denver Invaders made an aggressive debut in the West ern Hockey League Thursday night, but they couldn't get past goalie Don Head of the Portland Buckaroos.

The Invaders fired 27 shots to Portland's 19 in the first period, but they were blocked by Head who was credited with 39 saves. r $ol 9 new wvMe heel' "Saved enough on the price to get a whole new wardrobe!
