Total Offense
Leaders To Vie
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
When California battles South
ern California this Saturday, the
two total offense kings of the
Big Six will battle it out.
Latest statistics through the
first half of the season showed
California's Craig Morton top
ping the conference with 7ii2
yards gained with Southern Cal
ifornia's Pete Beathard next at
650 yards.
Morion practically has Ihc
loop passing sewed up with 54
completions in lift tries good
for 827 ycards and nine touch
downs. In the rushing department,
Clarence Williams of Washing
ton State was held to 23 yards
last Saturday, but still leads
with 373 yards gained. USC
soph Mike Garrett is closing in,
however, and has galloped 348
yards at an average of 8.1
yards per carry.
Close fights continue in (he
scoring and pass-catching de
partments. Stanford's Dick
Ragsdale has scored 30 points,
while Cat's Jack Schraub has
26 and Beathard 24.
High interest centers this
week on the Friday night clash
between the two Southern Ore
gon Class A-2 football teams
which are among Oregon's top
ranked powers The Phoenix
High Pirates, ranked No. 1 for
several weeks, and the Illinois
Valley Cougars, tied for No. 9
this week in the Oregon Journal
coaches poll.
This game at Cave Junction
has been termed a battle be
tween Phoenix depth and power
and IV speed, passing and fi
nesse. Coach Jack Woodward's
Phoenix Pirates, aiming to rep
resent their district in the play
offs for the fifth successive
year, enter the Rogue league
crucial unmarred in six games.
Coach Bill Stewart's Cougars of
IV have surged after an initial
loss to Gold Beach and are un
defeated in the league.
SCORE NOT INDICATIVE
Illinois Valley appears to have
dominated the Lakeview game
last Friday more than the 12-0
score might indicate. The Cou
gars got to the 15 and two-yard
lines on non-scoring drives and
led 282 to 00 in scrimmage
yards and 14 to 3 in first downs.
UP AND DOWN
Ud one week and down the
next is an old characteristic of
sports. It's been portrayed over
the past couple of week ends by
the Crater Comets who put up
a magnificent football battle
against Medford then fell last
Friday to an improved Yreka,
Calif., club which arose for its
first triumph since its opening
game of the season.
The Comets this week arc
busy on the big task of getting
back up again. They'll have to
be for they go against the high
ly rated Grants Pass Cavemen
this Friday at Grants Pass. The
Central Pointers also are hoping
for some ailing players to get
well.
A Drobable sign that the Fire
balls are pointing for the Cli
mate city team was brought out
by the Yreka game. Coach
Keith Johnson expressed the
feeling that the Comets were
thinking ahead to Grants Pass
and overlooked Yreka.
It's the Crater mentor's view
that, if the Comets bounce back
and play a great game against
the Cavemen, "then we know
we have some ball players."
SOME SATISFACTION
There's sonic possible self
satisfaction for the Crater club,
if you want to look at it that
way, over Meillord's perform
ance against Klamath Falls. "I
told Fred, (Snicgclberg, Med
ford coach), we'll make you a
better ball club," said Johnson.
TRYING TO KEEP SHARP
Medford's Black Tornado
draws a rest this week end in
lhat it has no game. The Hurri
canes, however, are not exactly
taking it easy. They did have
Monday off, except for viewing
films.
"We're just trying to stay in
shape and trying to keep
sharp," reported Spiegelberg.
Conditioning is part of the prac
tice routine. The Tornado "did
work pretty hard" yesterday.
It's a foregone conclusion
that the Medford grid crew or
its staff will be pretty well rep
resented among the spectators
at both the Crater Grants Pass
and Ashland Klamath Falls
games this week end.
COMPARATIVE SCORES
At least one way vou look at
it, Ashland High should be fa-
vored over Medford when the
I two football teams meet on Nov.
1.
Ashland defeated Yreka.
Calif.. 13-6. Yreka won 20-6 over
Crater which lost 6-0 to Med-
i ford.
Hut, look at it another way:
Medford downed Corvallis 21-0,
Corvallis beat Lebanon 33-6 and
Lebanon tipped Ashland 13-7.
You can make comparative
scores do almost anything for
you but win ball gamrs.
ILLNESS SLOWS DEAN
Lowell Dean, ex-Medford High
All-Amcrican end, now tackle
ion the University of Oregon
football crew, reportedly has
lost some 30 pounds because of
illness (strep throat) and is hav
ing a tough time getting his
strength back.
MUCH TRAVEL
Lee Ragsdale reports lhat he
and Mrs. Ragsdale put ahout
1,000 miles per week on their
Volkswagen traveling to see son,
Dick, ex-Medford, play for the
Stanford Indians.
FROM ASHLAND
Randy Nelson, who was run
ner up in the Ford Punt, Pass
and Kick contest recently, in
the 11-year-old division, is from
Ashland, not Medford, we were
informed last week. Randy was
10-year-old winner last year.
TERRIFIC GAME
Fans, who chose other enter
tainment or just staved home,
missed a terrific game at Ash
land Saturday night. There was
a lot of drama in Ihc Southern
Oregon Oregon Tech limthall
scuffle as fired up underdog
OTI struck for two touchdowns
in the Mrsl half and SOC,
amused at halftime, came back
to do all the scoring in I ho last
two quarters in the spectacular
way that the Raiders go about
it.
The Owls were right in there
bidding in the second half, al
though they did not score. And,
not until the Ashlanders were
awarded two points on a safety
did they appear out of danger.
TELEGRAM SENT
Anonvmous telegrams sent
from Ashland, Lakeview and
Medford, threatening the well-'
being of OTI quarterback Mike
Glines, reportedly were used as
a device to fire the Owls, ac
cording to Glen Prcscott of the
Ashland Daily Tidings. He said.
"The origin of the telegrams
has not been determined."

RECEIVES GOLD TRUNKS Gary Naef, left, eighth grader
at McLoughlin Junior High School, receives gold trunks with
star from his physical education instructor, William Esselstyn.
The trunks are emblematic of the highest ranking possible in
the Medford public schools PE program. Boys can progress
from gray to red to black to gold trunks by meeting certain
standards in physical achievement for their class in school.
Naef, 13, is the first boy in the program, which began last
school year to gain gold trunk status. The trunks were pre
sented on Tuesday at a school assembly. Naef also received
a plaque from Lee V. Ragsdale, supervisor of physical educa
tion lor Medford schools.
Change of Offense Ruts
Burke Off Catching Pace

STANDINGS
PORTLAND (UPI) - Vern
Burke, Oregon State's brilliant
split end, has a ready answer
to those who ask why he is far
off his NCAA record pass catch
ing pace of last season.
"Basically, it's the change of
offense," the 22-year-old senior
said. "We're just utilizing more
men this year."
But Burke, a 6-4H, 201-pound
product of Bakersfield, Calif.,
has played a key role in four
victories in five starts for the
Beavers this season.
He has caught 19 passes for
308 yards and six touchdowns.
He had 69 receptions for 1,007
yards and 10 touchdowns t o
establish national college record
as a junior.
"We just have a much more
rounded team," Burke explain
ed. "And we're winning. But
we've got some tough ones com
ing up."
Oregon State's "Lone
some end" wasn't fooling. The
second half of the Beavers' 10
game schedule includes Syra
cuse. "Syracuse has a fine team,"
Burke said. "It's beaten some
tough ball clubs. We'll definitely
be underdogs. It'll be a real
tough game."
Coach Tommy Prothro is one
of Burke's most ardent support
ers. "I've never seen anybody who
can get open like he does," the
coach said following t h e
Beavers' 30-6 Homecoming vic
tory over Washington State last
weekend in which Burke caught
six passes for 78 yards and two
touchdowns. "He also gave us

Put more simply, Prothro
meant that he was using Burke
a lot as a decoy this season.
Oregon State sporis publicity
director Johnny Eggers pointed
out "what a good team man
this boy is."
"He's been a real decoy for
us, taking two and sometimes
three defenders with him o n
every play and leaving his
teammates open," Eggers said.
"Vern has only been thrown
to 29 times in five games and
he's dropped but one of them,"
Eggers continued. "The others

RESPONSE !
Neivspaper Advertising Brings
Reader Response.. . through
Buying Action!
More buying action results from newspaper advertising because of the atmos
phere of believability. You've heard people say, "I know it's true, it's in the
papers." The printed word has always been accepted as more honest and
binding.
Newspapers report facts; other media offer entertainment. Your adver
tising in an atmosphere of believability is bound to induce more "want-to-buy"
action than that framed in fiction or entertainment.
Newspapers offer another vital element-an atmosphere of timeliness and
urgency. This sense of immediacy fosters "here-and-now" sales action that no
other print medium can match.
If it's a question of consumer response-newspapers are the answer!
