Bedford, Grants Pass in Friday Tangle Here for SO Loop t Title? Medford High School's home football season closes on Friday night. And, whether the Black Tornado will roll on to other fields of conflict depends on how the tide of battle goes. Grants Pass High's Cavemen are the adversaries on this de cision night at the Medford Sta dium. This will be the big game of the fall on the local grass and the big one thus far in 1963 for the schools involved. For, when the kickoff whistle blasts at 8 p.m. the Southern Oregon Conference champion ship and a berth in Oregon Class - A-l playoffs will be at stake. Winner will go on into state quarterfinals from District 6. The gridiron campaign will be over for the loser. There's statewide prestige rid ing on the hassle, too with Medford holding down the top Oregon prep rating in its class and Grants Pass ranked as No. 2 and 3. And, it is anticipated that grid attendance will be largest for one game in the his tory of the conference. Like Records In Loop Grants Pass and Medford en ter the league titular scuffle with like records of 3-0 in the loop. The Cavemen of the Cli mate City down the river are undefeated and once tied over a slate of eight encounters. Med ford carries a record of six vic tories and one loss. The setback was suffered out of state. On the basis of the ratings and overall record against common opposition, Medford is judged slight favorite for the fray. But, its not enough to really call it upset should GP be the victor. A very wet field, it is figured, would add a little advantage to the Black Tornado. Whirlwind Coach Fred Spieg elberg, nevertheless, is not par ticularly buying this Medford favored bit. "We're so even this year," he remarked. "It could be the best ball game in several years." "We're in good shape," Spieg elberg added. "And, we're wait ing for the game." Speed Versus Power In generality, "speed against power" is the billing. Grants Pass asset is the speed. Med ford represents the power. Both aggregations have some depth of talent.

Koten, whose capabilities complement each other on an explosive crew. Isabell has speed and strength, Ireland burning speed and Van Koten shifty elusiveness. Meaiora packs overall more weight, howbeit not intirely ov erwhelming, for both offensive and defensive operation. On of fense it is exemplified by Jeff Hardrath and Chuck Kimball in the line and Bill Enyart and Tim Murray in the backfield.
