' All The Way
Williams made no gain. Then
with Williams and Granby open
ing the way Consbruck went
over the left side of his line aii
the way to the goal.
On the point after touchdown
try, Granby barged into the end
zone but Phoenix was called off.
side. On the second try, a Wil
liams to Dale Sauer pass was
broken by Vale.
Phoenix also scored on its sec
ond chance with the ball in the
second half. The Bucs took pos
session on their own 42, after
a Hyland punt.
One running play with Cons
bruck carrying lost four yards
to the 38, but on the next play,
Consbruck exploded over the
left side of the line and raced
to the goal 62 yards away.
On the conversion try, a run
by Ken Hawkins failed.
The last touchdown came
when in the early fourth quar
ter Dale Vale was held back on
its 6 - yard line and Hyland
punted out to the Vale 39, with
Consbruck running the ball back
to the 20.
Phoenix then moved in five
plays to the goal. A pass was
incomplete. Another from Wil
liams to Granby gained three
yards. Williams moved to the
11 on a keeper. And Grennan
cracked to the 9. Then on a play
similar to Consbruck s second
touchdown rush, he blasted over
for the final score.
Granby added the conversion
on a run.
Nearest Was 25
The nearest Vale got to the
Phoenix goal was to the 25 in
the fourth quarter. They got
there with the help of two suc
cessive passing plays of 22 and
15 yards. On the next two plays,
however, Ingram was thrown
for successive losses of eight
and six yards by Ron Patterson
and Ken Tycksen.
Another pass clicked for six
yards, but Vale was forced to
give up possession on Phoenix s
33.
Phoenix netted six yards on its
next series, then. gave up the
ball with Williams punting to
the Valo 39. Ingram was
trapped for a three-yard loss
trying to pass. He next com
pleted one for 12 yards to Rod
Chester and a first down. But
on the following play an Ingram
pass was intercepted by Cons
bruck. Only seconds were left
to play and Phoenix let the
clock run out.
Phoenix's defense was called
upon for a stern test in the
opening minutes of the game.
Consbruck fumbled and Vale's
Rick Fulleton recovered on the
Phoenix 39. A pass from Ingram
to Chester gained to the 30-yard
line, but on a bad center snap,
Vale lost back to Phoenix's 38,
and Hyland punted to the 10.
R was from that point that
Phoenix got on the road to its
first touchdown.
Fumble Lost
Phoenix in the late second
quarter got to the Vale 22, but
pass lateral play lost four
yards, with Vale recovering a
Consbruck fumble.
landing the Phoenix rushing
was Consbruck with 118 yards
on 16 carries. Granby had 53
yards also on 16 carries. Wil
liams packed fonr times for 68
yards. And Grennan ran 11
times for 28 yards.
Bill Ingram for Vale complet
ed 10 of 22 passes (or 130 yards.
Phoenix used the late minutes
of the game to give reserves
experience and to practice on
its passing game.
Coach Jack Woodward ot
Phoenix after the contest gave a
huge amount of credit to the
defense of his team.
In defeating Vale, Phoenix

state A-2 polls.
Gain Retribution
The victory Saturday was
retribution for the only other
team time the schools have met
in football. Vale in 1959 defeat
ed Phoenix 41-14 in a state semi
final game also played on the
Viking field.
Snow fell on the ground at
Vale Friday, but the turf was

shape (or the game. Partly
sunny weather greeted the open
ing moments of the contest, but
the weather turned chilly and
overcast as the game pro

Nick Kozak
To Return
Thursday
Nick Kozak, an enthusiastic
and expert horseman when he is
not on the wrestling circuit, has
been signed to face newcomer
Irish Paddy Barrett in the open
ing match of the big wrestling
card at Medtord armory on
Thanksgiving night, Nov. 28.
Kozak was to have wrestled
here Nov. 14 but was called to
Texas to testify in a lawsuit and
therefore had to bow out at the
last minute. Knowing he has a
large following among the local
mat faithful, Kozak regretted
having to cancel the appearance
and asked Matchmaker Elton
Owen to sign him for the
Thanksgiving card.
Barrett, who recently came to
the northwest from Oklahoma
is a fast, clean but rough per
former. His style and crowd
appeal has earned him the tag
of "sleeper among northwest
heavyweights.
Barrett was sent to the North
west on the recommendation of
Billy Whitewolf, another local
favorite who is now wrestling in
Oklahoma, where he saw Bar
rett in action and suggested that
he campaign in Oregon and
Washington.
Haystack is Back
The main event will see Hay
stack Calhoun and Abe Jacobs
go against Soldat Gorky and
Dirty Don Duffy in a tag team
match.
Another tag team scrap, slat
ed as the feature bout, marks
the return of midget wrestlers
to Medtord. It pairs Sky Low
Low and Irish Jackie against
Tiny Tim and Billy the Kid.
Ringside reserved seat tickets
are on sale at Barker s, Main

Twedell is still wearing a

"I hope they learn a lot in pre

charges. Objective of the pre
season competition will be to
prime and build for the strenu
ous 16-game Southern Oregon

will strive, naturally, for pre
loop victories but preparation
for games which really count is
the No. 1 aim.

Goose Tatum & Son
Coming To Crater
Wednesday Night
CENTRAL POINT - Profes.
sional basketball's only father
son team will be seen playing
together here Wednesday night,
Nov. 25.
That's when Reece (Goose)
Tatum, the Clown Prince of
Basketball, sends his Harlem
Roadkings against the New
York Renaissance (Ren) at the
Crater High gym.
Game time is 8 p.m.
Playing by his side when the
Golden Goose goes onto the
court to cut his capers will be
his 21-year-old son, Reece
Tatum Jr., better known as
Goose Jr.
This is the second season the
two have played together.
Young Tatum joined the Road-
kings two years ago after com
pleting a hitch in the Navy. Al
though he was competing
against his own father (or his
job, he made the team, and
now he is a full-fledged member
of the great barnstorming pro
team.
The two Tatums, senior and
junior, alternated playing last
year. Although he had great
confidence in his offspring,
Papa Goose hesitated to take
out a more experienced player
to make room for his son.
But before the season was
over, Goose, Jr. had won a
regular job for himself and this
season is listed as a starter,
right along with his famous
father. He has learned to handle
a ball like his dad, and time
has shown that he inherited
many of his famous father's
talents.
So when the Harlem Road
kings come to town this tima
to play the New York Rens,
fans will be seeing not one
Goose Tatum, but two.
Goose Tatum, Jr., is five feet,
eleven inches tall and weighs
one-hundred-eighty pounds. Ho
is notas tall as his father, but
tall enough to play in big-time
basketball. He now is regarded
as the greatest dribbler in the
business.
Also along with the Roadkings
will be 7 foot, 1 inch Riggie
Harding. He is a former star of
the Detroit Pistons of the Na
tional Basketball Assoc.
There'll be half-time enter
tainmenta 30 minute concert
