MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1963
Competition Has Made
America Great, Speaker
Tells Medford Gridders
Competition is what has martp
America great and competitive
athletics are a must, Jerry
Long, assistant football coach
at Oregon State University de
clared in a talk here last night.
Long addressed a banquet at
tended by Medford High football
players and their parents. The
dinner at North's Chuch Wagon
was sponsored by the Lineback
ers Club.
It was the second event of the
day honoring Medford's South
ern Oregon Conference cham
pion squad. Footballers were
luncheon guests of Medford Ki
wanis Club at Rogue alley Coun
try Club.
At the luncheon, Head Coach
Fred Spiegelberg announced
that all-state Tackle Jeff Hard
rath had been voted by his
teammates as the outstanding
player on the Medford team.
Center and Guard Brian Peter
sen was named outstanding line
man and Fullback and Lineback
er Bill Enyart outstanding back.
Makes Things Progress
Long at the evening event re
buked the idea of a "growing
element" in this country that
football is evil and that some
thing is wrong with competi
tion. "You're competing from the
time you're born," he pointed
out. He added that competition
makes things progress at a
more rapid rate.
Speaking of football as "the
last great competitive sport,"
Long spoke of the Marines-like
policy of coaches at Oregon
State to drive athletes to the
maximum. Some are weeded

out. Those that are left are
tough competitors, he reported.
"You wind up with some great
kids," he said. They respect
and help each other. This is
morale, he declared. There is a
common bond.
"The things worthwhile are
the things you have to wnrk
for," Long told the gridders. He
brought out that persons are
more appreciative of the things
they work for. He maintained,
too, that satisfaction breed
mediocrity.
"Your lucky to have a com
munity like this," Long told the
players, parents and Lineback
ers. "The whole state looks
down this way" on the Medford
school system and athletic pro
gram, he stated.
Great Games
Coach Fred Spiegelberg spoke
of the tendency to remember
teh games lost but he pointed
also to the tremendous ball
played this fall, too. He men
tioned in particular the great
play in the North Salem and
Grants Pass games. Medford
defeated Grants Pass when it
was supposed to have been the
Cavemen's year, he said. The
Tornado's 32-13 victory over
North Salem was over a team
which went on to tie Grant lor
the state championship.
Spiegelberg had the players
introduce both themselves and
their parents.
At the Kiwanis luncheon
Spiegelberg looked back at the
season as "the way things are."
He thanked Bob Retzer, Ki
wanian and manager of Oregon
California Theaters here for
having the football players as
guests on pie-game nights for
movies at the Craterian Theater.
Blackman
Receives
UPI Honor
HANOVER, N.H. (UPI)-Rob-
ert L. Blackmail is a cherubic
faced, slightly pudgy little fel
low who looks like he might be
a Bible salesman.
Instead he is head coach of
football at Dartmouth College
a coach whose successes have
made Dartmouth the terror of
the Ivy League.
For his latest coup, a stirring
22-21 upset victory over Prince
ton, Bob Blackman is United
Press International's "coach of
the week."
Blackmail's Indians, one of
the few major unbeaten teams
in the nation just one year ago,
staged a two touchdown fourth
quarter comeback to win Satur
day and retain a share of the
Ivy League title tney won out
right in 1962.
The victory had special
meaning tor the 44-year-old
Blackman. It was his 100th in
a 15-year coaching career. It
was Dartmouth's seventh of the
season against just two losses,
and set Blackman s record at
100-36-8 to rank him among the
top winning percentage coaches
in college football today.
