Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, Tornadoes Contend at Roseburg In Class A-1 Grid Quarterfinal "No. l rated unaeraog. , That designation could be ap plied to the Medford High Black Tornado by two prognostica tions on the Oregon prep foot ball quarterfinal games. Medford's gridiron Whirlwind, top-ranked in all three state polls, carries defense of its 1962 Class A-1 diadem, into the round of eight this Friday night against the team designated No. 2 by the "experts" in the polls. It rumbles out against the Roseburg Indians in the Umpqua Valley town. There's an 8 p. m. kickoff time. Bill Mulflur, writer for the Portland Oregon Journal, picks it this way in this weekend's big school main attraction as the titular eliminations get under way: "Jim Beamer gives the In dians the slightest edge, which is necessary to win this ti tanic." Two Can Play Leo Davis, scribe for the Portland Oregonian views it thus: "Roseburg over Medford (the signs say otherwise): Jim Bea mer, Smokey Burgess, Gary Fle eter et al have engineered more than one Indian uprising. The Tornado has the edge in depth and defense, but two can play at that game. If Roseburg plugs a leaky secondary and finds an antidote for the bullish rushes of Bill Enyart, one touchdown can win it." Yet how the teams really match is anybody's guess since there has been no common op position. There's no doubt that Rose burg has a strong air arm in the person of Beamer, the Mid western League's leading thrower (who also packs the ball. Along with its air threat a power and breakaway running game. There's good deception in belly series plays. Medford can counter with a versatile attack which uses both T and single wing formations and smashing and elusive run ners, keyed by Interworking ex ecution. And the Tornado has a diverse air game with the throwing of Mike Barnes, Larry Vowell and Jack Mullen. Condition! Will Govern How the rival aggregations will deploy their attacks and mix their means of scrimmage travel will not be revealed until ih tnm are on the gridiron Friday. And, field conditions and situations even then will govern the plan of action. Rain was falling hard In the Roseburg area this morning just like It was at Medford. Plastic covering was put on the Indian field last night. But, just how effectively it stood up in the wind had not been checked when inquiry was made this morning. Against Sheldon last week, Coach Roy Thompson's Rose burg forces, despite their aerial strength, stuck mainly to the ground, hurling only four passes. Medford, too, following its usual pattern, relied mostly on its rushing game against Grants Pass with passes as spot weapons. No matter what, the stops will be pulled out as the Indians of Coach Roy Thompson and Black Tornado of Coach Fred Spiegel berg engage each scrapping (or the victory which will carrj ll into scmi-nnai comuci against cither Grant or West Linn. Friday's ruckus will rematch foes of last year's quarterfinals. The clubs met at Medford then with the Hurricane wining 14-7. This year's version of the Tor nado will be out to emulate the performance of last year's champions. That crew, with its bid for semifinal berth fading, buckled down and broke a dead lock with one of the greatest touchdown marches ever in Medford football history. The 1063 edition showed it, too, could do it on its winning scor ing drive against Grants Pass. Challenge To Medford When the clubs met last year, it was the first football action between the schools since 1950. The game this year presents tho Medford Hurricane a chal lenge. In the 1962 meeting, the Black Tornado knocked Uie de fending champion from title ' running. This time Roseburg has that chance with MHS as defender. And, going by the polls, the victor on the Indian field will be favored to march on to the diadem for 19G3. Roseburg carries the banner for District 5 A-1 and was 8-1 and co-winner with Cottage Grove in its league. Medford was victor with 4-0 in the South- Basketball NATIONAL ASSOCIATION By United Press International Eastern Division W. 1..

There always has been a lot of opposition to boxing in Swe den. Nor was this lightened when Ineemar Johansson, after winning the world heavyweight title, started banning nis 1001 in Switzerland to escape taxes at home. Now the Swedes have strengthened their boxing regu lations and the biggest step was one which limits all bouts to eight rounds.

But the Swedes will have none of that and they also have taken steps to protect the esthetic feelings of the fans. No Bloody Fights The translation comes out on the comic side for the rule, as relayed, reads: "A bloody match will be brok en for esthetics! reasons, even u tne injury itself does not cause a breaking." Meaning quite simply that if a guy starts to shed a mess of gore, even if he is leading on points the bout will be stopped. Most fight crowds I have seen would scorn any such protection of their personal feelings. As long as the blood belongs to somebody else, and particular ly the guy against whom they are betting, they are inclined to cheer lustily for more blood let ting. Yet it seems quite obvious, with eight ring deaths already this year, that the Swedes should be given credit for the stand which they have taken. A case in point which fully illustrates the sad state of box ing generally, and in the U.S. in particular, was the death last month of Ernie Knox in Balti more. Injury and even death can almost be listed as occupa tional hazards when a man sets himself up as a punching bag for a price. Deaths Comparatively Low Boxing supporters contend, and justly, that on the average mere are more deatiis in foot ball and auto racing, as exam ples, than there are in the ring. And certainly some of the na tion's college football factories are guilty of contributing to pos sible mayhem and manslaugh ter when they book some wi' dermanned "breather." Yet there can be no excuse for permitting such a bout as the one in which Knox was knocked out by heavyweight wayne ueliiea and subsequently died. At the official weigh-in. Beth ea scaled 205 pounds. Knox's weight was announced as 178. At the autopsy it was found that Knox weighed only 153 pounds or 25 pounds less than announced. This is the kind of skulldug gery wnicn nas put boxing in jeopardy of being abolished le. gaily. A grand jury still is at tempting to get all the answers and, if it does its job, some body ought to be run right out ot "the game. gag am SAVE 20 in ViosaiiBin ' Your Choice of Modern Slim-Styled Cabinets (23-in. overall diagonal, 282-sq. in. viewing area) if.

(UPI) The decision of a broadcast ing network and former spon sors to drop the annual telecast of the Blue-Gray football game because Negro players were barred was termed "tragic and irresponsible" by Gov. George Wallace Wednesday. Wallace said the persons "who pressured and intimidat ed" the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and the game's sponsors into dropping the bowl game "hurt all races, especially the Negro race." During the 26 year history of the bowl classic, proceeds of the game between North and South All-Stars have gone to a program of the local Lions Club set up to help blind and needy children. Lions Club President Harris Dawson said the funds are distributed "without regard to race, color or creed." Notified Bowl Officials Bowl officials were notified last week by the network the game would not be televised this year because Negro play ers were not invited to partici pate. The network had carried the game annually since 1954. Chrysler Corporation and the Gillette company sponsored the broadcast.

"The receipts from the game are used for charitable pur poses, including sight conserva tion, and almost 60 per cent of the people who received eye care under this program last year were Negroes. Children in the first grades of 35 Negro schools and 24 white schools had eye tests paid for by pro ceeds from the game," Wallace said. Result Of Pressure Dawson said "it is a fair as sumption that the ban resulted from pressure applied either to NBC or game sponsors by Ne gro organizations." Allyn McKeen, general man ager of the Blue-Gray Associa tion, said "we are trying to find out just what is behind it where the pressure that caused the cancellation came from." He said negotiations were un der way to get NBC's permis sion for a regional telecast. Un der a contract which expires in 1966, NBC may determine whether or not the game is tel evised or broadcast. McKeen added Don Faurol, athletic director at the Univer sity of Missouri and recruiter of the northern squad, assured him the ban was not hamper ing efforts to line up the North team.
