The Medford Black Tor nado wreaked its havoc on Mo doc Field here on Friday and the Pelicans of Klamath Union High School still are hungry birds. With its most consistent and coordinated storming of the sea son, the Rogue Valley gridiron Hurricane whirled over the Whitebirds 34-0 in Southern Ore gon Conference combat. Med ford shaped triumph with a blend of power and speed and passing. Long drives brought about three Tornado touchdowns. Air ial blasts produced two others. Bill Enyart plunged two yards tor one marker. Tim Murray jumped and rolled one and two yards for touchdowns. Mike Barnes tossed 32-yards to Steve Toews in the end zone for a score. The other came on a 45 yard passing play. Jack Mullen to Lynn Flanders. Kept Pace Murray ran two conversions. George Dames kicked one and pushed an impromptu pass to Bill Houston for another. Victory gave Medford a 5-1 record for the season. It was the second verdict in the conference for the defending champs who kept pace with the Cavemen of Grants Pass. Klamath Falls, which has failed to win a game this fall, suffered its sixth loss. The Tornado commanded the conflict almost throughout. It took control by marching off the opening kickoff to the goal and firmed its hold with two second quarter counters. After the Tornado fought to the TD zone on its first chance in the second half, the fracas was in Medford hands. The Whirlwinds scored in every quarter. Klamath Falls mounted only one major scoring threat, over lapping the third and fourth panels. The Pels, on recovery of a Medford . fumble, battled from the Tornado 46 to the nine yard line. An offside penalty on Medford put the ball upon the four. Then a pitchout went awry and Murray recovered for the Pear city team on the 15 stripe. Pels Hit Hard "1 was real pleased with the learn," said Coach Fred Spieg clberg yesterday. "It really worked well as a unit." He agreed that the Tornado put forth its most consistant effort. The mentor remarked that the Medfords were sharper against North Salem but that against Klamath they were more con sistant. "Klamath hit pretty hard," said the coach. The Pels, recognized as a club with potential that has not yet been put together, rumbled with some good deception on rriday, but again could not reach the explosion point. One pass which might have spelled trouble for the Hurricanes was dropped. Enyart was the main ground weapon of the Tornado as it provided some good blocking. He had 116 yards for 20 carries. But, the Medfords used the run ning of Greg Gandee, Barnes and Murray, along with Barnes' throwing arm to keep the KF defense honest. KF Held To M And the Medford defense did Its job. There were a few sub stantial KF gains but the Pels were also tossed for minus yard age and were held to a total scrimmage net of 94 yards, 79 of them on the ground. Medford. in the meantime piled up 367 yards. The first Medford TD was on a 66-yard push. There were 14 plays' and five first downs along the way and the help of two five yard Klamath penalties. Longest gain was 13 yards around end by Gandee. In the second quarter came a 63-yard drive to the Pelican one yard line. There the Klaav a'Jis stopped the Mtjlforditne no ! downs. But, the Pels fumbled on their first scrimmage play. Brian Petersen fell on the ball for the Tornado on the one and Murray was in the KF end zone in one play. In the late second quarter Klamath faked a punt on fourth down. The play did not gain first down yardage and Medford took possession on its 39 vard line. Barnes hurled to Gandee for 29 yards to the Klamath 32. On the next play was the scor ing play, Barnes to Toews. The Pelicans punted out of their first series with the ball in the second half and Mike Kitching kicked for 57 yards, the ball bounding to the Medford 12. A procedure penalty put the Medfords back on the seven. A 93-yard march to the goal be gan with 10 plays required. Big run was a bootleg around right end by Barnes who cut back left across the field and collected 36 yards. He was haul ed down by Terry Eccles. Three plays after this Murray went over from the two. Capper on Evening Medford's third offensive unit put the capper to the evening with just 39 seconds left to play with Flanders racing to the end zone after the catch of Mullen's pass. Dames was back to kick the extra point with Bill Piche in the holding spot. The snap was high and Piche pushed it to Dames who shoveled it to Houston. Gandee had 58 yards in seven packs for Medford and Barnes 67 in six. For the Pels Kitch ing, who burned an arm when the rally fire for KF home coming festivities was lighted the night before, had 48 for 15. Barnes completed five of seven passes for 89 yards and Toews caught three for 45. The Pels were held to three pass completions in 12 throws with Bill Piche intercepting one. Medford rests next week end with an open date.

Ron Roberts, Jeff Randolph and John Lucas got touchdowns for the Crusaders. St. Mary's had a 20-yard scoring pass, John Batzer to Tim Sakraida nullified by penalty just before the conclusion of the game.

THORXBERRY United Tress International BADEN-BADEN. Germany (UPI) Delegates to the 60th session of tho International Olympic Congress (IOC) agreed today that Mexico City had the 1968 Olympic games sewn up "almost from the start" and that Detroit virtually never had a chance.

Mexico City got 30 of the 58 votes cast, Detroit 14, Lyons, Frame, 12, and Buenos Aires 2. A high-ranking IOC official told United Press International, "there was a strong desire to spread the games around. Most of the delegates felt the Olympics should go to Latin America as they've never had Ihcm before and it was just a question as to whether Mexico City or Buenos Aires gut them. Mexico had the facilities, was more easily accessible and was an attractive bet all around." I Be Choosy ... Buy Jacuzzi Pumps Sales I Service Siskiyou Hardware 225 W.
