6 Medford at Klamath Tonight For Conference Grid Scrap Medford and Klamath Union High jayvee football learns will vie at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Medford High Stadium. The game has been moved up from later starting time in order that fans may see both the jayvee contest and the Oregon-Arizona game on television. Klamath Union High School's football Pelicans will fight to make homecoming a happy one tonight. But, Medford's Black Tornado, with memories of 1961 will be out to wreck it. Medford and Klamath are ad versaries in an 8 p.m. Southern Oregon Conference game at Mo doc Field in Klamath Falls. This will be the 49th gridiron conflict for the Pelicans and Black Tornado since rivalry be gan in 1914. In the previous 32 embroilments Medford has been 32 times the victor. The Pels have won nine times. Deadlocks have resulted in the seven other outings. The rivalry of so long stand ing should be suffici ent to incite these grid combatants. But, at the core of this struggle is the fact that the Pelicans are hun gry birds. And, homecoming could whet their appetites. Medford Favored Medford, No. 2 and 3 rated in !he state, is the favorite. Against three schools met by both teams this fall, Medford has come out the winner. Klamath has laiien to all three. The Black Tornado of Coach Fred Spiegclberg is 4-1 this season but unmarred Dy an Oregon foe. Pelicans have gone . i BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW by Paul Lea p Every football season sees a lot of upsets . . , Bui, do you know what was the big gest upset of all-time . . . Several years ago, sports- writers voted in a poll, and the game they selected was the one In 1921 when little Centre beat then Mighty Harvard 6-0 .. . That's the one they call the greatest upset of all. time. Football writers like in come up with colorful names for outstanding groups of ' backs and linemen . , . and' " that's one thing that makes " football so interesting to fnl- low . , . Some of the best J names ever hung on back- fields were the Four Horse- men (Notre Dame '24), fhe J Thundering Herd (Southern J Cal '25) and fhe Dream Backfield (Pitt '38) . . . Some of the more colorful names for linemen have ? been: Seven Blocks of Gran- ite (Fordham in the 1930s), ? & Seven Mules (they olock ? ed for the Four Horsemen) ? and the Seven Wonders of 5 the World (Tulane '24). World 5erics tickets were not always hard to get . . . There was a World Series J game In Detroit in 1908 for which only 6,210 fans show H ed up . . . That's the rec- ord for the smallest attend B ance in history at a World Series game There will be a lot of foot sjj balls in the air (hit week. end but most of them will m be out-of-town.

T MODERN WAY! Build With CON LINIMGEirS FRIDAY. OCTOBER 18, 11 on to the battlefield five times. They have yet to win a game. Both clubs have been prepar ed for this evening's scramble by competition with strong foes. While Medford has been the more successful, there's been object lessons along the way. And, the Pelicans have flashed potential that any time may jell. This will be the second scuffle in the conference for each con tingent. Medford last week had its toughest Oregon challenge of the season and got by Crater barely 6-0. Klamath bowed to Grants Pass 19-0. Precedent There's precedent for upset which is only two years old. In 1961, the Pelicans, fired up and flying high nicked the favored Tornado 7-6. It was the first Medford loss in conference foot ball since 1961. Eventual out come of the conference race was a three-way tie. Medford went on to win from Grants Pass which beat Klamath and GP took the role of district repre sentative in the playoff by a draw. Memories of two years ago bring up the question of whether the Pels will revive their "go-go-go" brand of football. One thing will be missing. It will not be Friday the 13th. Split T Offense Klamath Falls will battle Med ford with a split T offense with split ends and flanker backs. The Whitcbird operate with John Parisotto at quarterback, Mike Kitching at left half, Verne Petrick at right half and Chuck Mills at fullback. Parisotto, Kitching and Bob Williams Jr., son of the coach are throwers; Kitching, Bob Moore, Mills and John Jendrzcjewski are among receivers. Terry Eccles and Rick Gustaf- son are other running backs. Gustafson may not play because of leg injury which has kept him out of several games. Medford will operate its I and single wing multiple assault. Mike Barnes is quarterback and Rich Knight could see duty at the post. The Tornado has Tim Murray and Jim ux at icu halves; Greg Gandce at right, with Ron Edmonds and Larry Vowcll backing him and Bill Enyart at fullback with support from Greg Dippel. Targets for passes by Barnes, Knight and Vowcll could be Cox, Gandec, Steve Toews and Wal ler Verstratc.

MEDFORD'frTRrBUNE SPORTS Sacred Heart Foe Of St. Mary's High There'll be a mass invasion of Klamath Falls from Medford this evening on the parochial school, as well as public school front. For the St. Mary's High school footballers go to the Whitebird town as well as the Medford Black Tornado. St. Mary's will oppose Sacred Heart of Klamath Falls at Gem's Stadium. The Rogue league will be at 8 p.m. The Crusaders of Medford will seek to even their record in the circuit standings. They are 1-2. Sacred Heart has not won a game this season, losing three within the league. After a rugged battle with Phoenix last Saturday, this has been a sort of resting week. The Crusaders got Monday off and few were on hand Tuesday because of a jayvee game. Trojans Rising Coach Bill McKibbin reported that the Crusaders "have not done an awful lot this week." He, nevertheless, added, "We are not taking it (the Sacred Heart game lightly." Warning has been issued that the Trojans, who've been a doormat in the loop, are coming along, are tougher than they might seem. They gave the Rogue River Chiefs a battle last week. Both St. Mary's and Sacred Heart have encountered Phoe nix. The Pirates overcame SM 20-0 last week and laced the Tro jans 60-O in the opener of the league race. In other Rogue games I h e Crusaders downed Lakevicw 14-0 and lost to Illi nois Valley 25-0. Sacred Heart fell to Henley 55-0 and to Rogue River 21-7.

That is the attitude the No. 1 ranked Phoenix High School Pi rates carry into their Rogue league football game with Eagle Point. The game will be at 8 o'clock tonight at Phoenix. "We think," said Buccaneer Coach Jack Woodward, "that Eagle Point is a team that's been improving every week. They moved from single wing to T and it takes time to get rolling smoothly. Eagle Piont scored four touchdowns in the first half against Lakeview and coasted in ... so we know we're in for a ball game." This week, said Woodward, "we've really gone out there and knocked heads and had some good rough work. We think that is one of the things the team needed." He stated that coaches have tried to get the club down to some real hard work because it was felt that drills in the past few weeks have been a little too easy. Correct Mistakes In the last week end's game against St. Mary's the offense made about every mistake there is to make, Woodward com mented. "We think we've cor rected some of these," he said. Some play assignments have been changed in the effort for correction. He remarked that against the Crusaders the Pi rates were not only making mis takes in execution but often we just plain doing the wrong thing." Woodward reported that half back Dennis Grennan has rib j bruises but probably will be ready to go against the Eagles He said that Bob Fenton has been showing well in practice and is slated to start at offen sive tackle with Gary McGari ty to assume the defensive tack le post. Some of the reserves who have been doing real well and are bound to see a lot of action are Charles Roberts, 210-pound tackle; Ed Mitchell, guard, and Ramon Mata and Dick L'nruh, linebackers. Probable starters tonight for Phoenix are Greg Esp and Gary Smith, ends; Fenton and Ron Patterson, tackles; Dave West fall and Ken Tycksen, guards; Paul Diederich, center; Ron Wil liams, quarterback; Jim Cons bruck, left halfback; Grennan, right halfback, and Jon Granby, fullback.

Southern California, which was upset by Notre Dame last week, meets tough Ohio State Saturday at Los Angeles while UCLA takes its aches and pains to South Bend for a game with the revived Irish. The Trojans are four point favorites to defeat the Buckeyes but Notre Dame is a 14 point selection over UCLA. For the record, West Coas( teams now have posted five wins, 13 losses and two ties in main intersectional games this season. The big question at Seattle is how much damage Coffey can inflict on Stanford for the Huskies, providing they need him for the Big Six contest. Coffey's Comeback The crashing fullb a c k was deemed through for the season after refracturing his foot while making a tackle Labor Day. But he made a sensational recovery and has been working ou( for (he pas( (wo weeks. With or without "Instant," the Huskies, who belted Oregon State 34-7 last week, are 11 point choices to hand Stanford its fourth straight loss. The Indians will be staying with three sophomore quarterbacks and appear outmanned. In other games Saturday, San Jose State is at California, Oregon at Arizona, and Wash ington State at Oregon State while the de-emphasized Tiger of the University of (he Pacific tries its luck at Idaho.
