KLAMATH FALLS - Foot
ball famine still is upon this
land. 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.
St. Mary's Winner
Over Sacred Heart
KLAMATH FALLS - St.
Mary's of Medford, grabbing a
14 to 0 first quarter jump,
subdued Sacred Heart High Fri
day night in Rogue League foot
ball action at Gems Stadium.
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.
The fracas gave St. Mary's
coach opportunity to use his sec
ond unit players. The second
defensive crew played about
three-quarters of the time the
No. 2 offensive gang was in ac
tion about two panels.
Three Corliss Kicks
Roberts went over on a three
yard play and Randy Corliss
made the first of three extra
point boots.
Randolph went four yards on
a dive. Lucas scored from a
yard away. He's a regular
guard for the Medford parochi
als and he carried the ball for
the first time for his school.
First TD was off a 65-yard
march. A fumble recovery
around the 20-yard line set up
the second score.
Randolph averaged seven
yards per carry for 11 times
with the ball and Mike Ford
shone on the second unit de
fense. St. Mary's ran up 295 yards
from scrimmage to 101 for
Sacred Heart.

Mexico Will Host
Olympics in 1
By HENRY W. 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. I
A "post-game" analysis of the
massive vote that gave Mexico
City Latin America's first
Olympiad indicated that voters
had made up their minds lo
"spread the Olympics around."
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."
