A dutch fourth Quarter Dronv
enade brought forth the winning
touchdown here on Friday night
and propelled the defending
champion Medford Black Tor
nado into the playoff quarter
finals for Oregon s Class A-i
high school football diadem
Medford's No. 1-rated big
school grid machine fought past
a recalcitrant Grants Pass
Caveman aggregation 13-9 to re
tain Its District 6 and Southern
Oregon Conference banner.
A threatening lost cause for
Medford was turned into a goal-
bound operation when Lynn
Flanders intercepted a Tom
Sparlin pass early in the final
period. This touched off a 64-
yara marcn. tin me nia piay
Mike Barnes sneaked the last
six inches for the touchdown
which made the difference in a
cliff hanger not decided until the
final seconds.
It was a come from behind
victory for the Local Hurricane
which wound up 4-0 in the
league while Grants Pass fin
ished 3-1. A couple of second
quarter Medford fumbles on
a sloppy, squishy gridiron heav
ily soaked by rain let the Cave
men get tne jump. Terry isaneii
punched one yard for the initial
marker of the evening. Bill Big
clow toed the conversion for
Grants Pass 7-0.
Drives 59 Yards
But, the Tornado was not to
be outdone. It surged right back
off the GP kickoff and drove 59
yards to the Caveman goal. A
12 yard pass play, Larry Vow
ell to Barnes, was the touch
down maker. BUI Collins' bonus
boot brought the conflict to 7
all. Two other Grants Pass
points were tabulated In the
closing seconds. Barnes delib
erately downed the ball In the
onH zone for a safetv.
It's on to Roseburs now (or
the Black Tornado. Medford
will olav the District 5 co-cham
pion Indians in the Umpqua
valley city next Friday night,
Nov. 15, at 8 p.m. in the opening
round of playoff competition.
Mprifnrrl and Roseburg - were
quarterfinal adversaries also in
inns. - . I- .
The Indians garnered the
Midwestern League berth Fri
day by trimming Sheldon 33-13
while Norm uena euminaiea
Marshfield from the running by
a 13-7 score. Roseburg tied with
Cottage Grove for District
honors but earned the state
elimination berth by tipping the
Lions in league play, cottage
Grove last night beat Willam
ette 34-6.
GP Controls
Medford shook off first pan
el bid by the Climate City op
position before an estimated
8,000 fans. And, despite the sec
ond quarter scoring of the Cave
men, the Tornado by halftime
had piled up statistical advan
tage. Through the third quarter and
early fourth, however, it was
a different story. Grants Pbss
controlled the ball and piled up
yardage. It seemed that the No.
2 and 3-ranked Cavemen would
prevail in another of the ster
ling conflicts which have mark
ed GP and Medford rivalry
through the years.
One Caveman drive reached
the Medford 23-yard line and
was halted. The Tornado netted
five yards in three plays and
Tim Murray punted. Grants
Pass then probed back to the
21, coming up with the big
play when needed. But Spar
lin's flat pass was robbed by
the sparkling Flanders on the
Medford 20. The Medford flank
man could not get away. Spar
lin stopped him on the 37. Tide
of battle, Just the same had
turned in favor of the Whirl
wind. Pass For 11
Jim Cox lost a yard to the 36
but erased it with four yards
on another play. A Barnes to
Greg Gandee pass made 11
yards to the GP 49-yard line
Two tries by Enyart got seven
yards. Cox went five, Gandee
four, Enyart one and Cox two.
An eight-yard pass, Barnes to
Steve Toews made it first down
on the GP 24. The Cavemen's
Jerry McCormack also grasped
the ball but completion was
ruled for Medford.
Barnes kept and made first
down on the 14. Murray, trying
to sweep end, lost to the 21.
Enyart reached the 19. A Vow
ell to Toews pass for 18-plus
yards brought Medford first
down sue inches from the goal.
Then Barnes sneaked across the
pay line.
Grants Pass took over on its
44 off the kickoff. Three plays
netted loss of two yards. Med
ford let Tom Blanchard's punt
roll dead on its 13. Three plays
later Medford had fourth down
and five to so on its 18-yard
line with 48 seconds left to play.
Barnes and Tornado Head
Coach Fred Spieeclberg held a
consultation. Then, the quarter
back nabbed the center snap,
hightailed it to the end zone
and downed the ball, giving
Grants Pass two points.
Kick Out or Bounds
Risk of a blocked punt was
avoided by this strategy which
also gave the Tornado oppor
tunity to free kick the ball deep
into Cavemen territory. Curt
Wyatt's boot, however, went
out of bounds on the Grants
Pass 35. The Cavemen were
given possession on the Medford
40.
A Sparlin to McCormack pass
gained 14 yards to the 26. Spar
lin trying to pass again was
dumped for a 27-yard loss when
caught by Jeff Hardrath. A long
toss by the UP quarterhacK
aimed for Marty Bauer was
broken up by Lance Cascbeer.
Another was Intercepted by
Rich Knight. Eighteen seconds
remained.
Medford ran one scrimmage
play and waited for the final
seconds to run out.
Fumbles and interceptions
played considerable roll in the
hassle. Knight had two inter
ceptions and Flanders' and Greg
DiDDel each one for Mediord.
Barnes' first two passes of the
contest were stolen by Larry
Forsaren and McCormack.
Flanders fell on a GP fumble
and Rich Ireland and McCor
mack recovered, when Medford
muffed the ball.

Pittsburgh
Has Last
Opportunity
By NORMAN MILLER
UPI Sports Writer
The Pittsburgh Steelers, the
only old-line National Football
League franchise never to win
a division title, arrive at "last
chance gulch" Sunday for a
clash with the Cleveland
Browns.
By winning, the Steelers (4-3-1)
can not only put them
selves back into a contending
position, but also can throw the
Eastern Division race into a
four-team scramble to include
the Browns (7-1), New York
Giants (6-2) and the St. Louis
Cardinals (5-3).
In the Western Conference,
the Green Bay Packers and
Chicago Bears (both 7-1) face
soft touches and their first-place
tie is not likely to be broken
until they meet in Chicago a
week later. Green Bay is at
home against the Minnesota
Vikings (3-5) and Chicago en
tertains the Los Angeles Rams
(2-6). '
Giants Play Eagles
The Giants play at home
against the Philadelphia Eagles
(2-5-1) and the Cardinals are
host to the Washington Red
skins (2-6).
In Sunday's two other games,
the Dallas Cowboys (2-6) and
San Francisco Forty Niners (1
7) meet on the West Coast and
the Baltimore Colts (3-5) are at
home against the Detroit Lions
(4-4).
Here is the "line" on the
games: Cleveland 314 over
Pittsburgh; Green Bay 16 over
Minnesota; Chicago 16 over
Los Angeles; New York 14 over
Philadelphia; St. Louis Wk
over Washington; Baltimore 4
over Detroit; Dallas 4 over San
Frncisco.

But sportsman Chuck Serri

thinking about the future, as he
waited on Alongi to shower.
"He's (Chuvalo) rough, tough
