THE NEXT MOVE Pelican coach Bob Williams ponders the situation on the field whil KU gridders, Dave Stippich (ill, at left, and "both way" powerhouse, John Hancock, center, grab a breather on Modoc Friday night. The game marked the first time Williams had faced a Medford squad. The Pels were stymied, 44-7. Bhtk umnaado Hvmk Wav Vistorv k K Power-Packed Wind Clips Pelican Wings By WAYNE SCOTT Herald and News Sports Editor The power - packed Medford Black Tornado increased its stat ure as the No. 1 ranked prep football team in the slate of Ore gon with a 44-7 blasting of the Klamath Union Pelicans here Fri day nifiht. The win was No. 6 of the season for Medford and loss No. 2 for KU. The versatile Medford eleven de voted a little more than three- quarters of the hallgame to gaining a collective 370 yards on the ground and then switched to the airlancs for a decidedly unnec essary 90. In overall statistics the Tornado blew itself to 460 yards while holding the Pelicans to 142. An almost unbelievable display of running ability on the part of 11 backfield performers was capped by the individual efforts of fullback Danny Sieg and halfback Mike Hood. Sieg blistered his'way through a staunch Pelican defense for a total of 112 yards in 11 car ries, while Hood screeched for 80 yHvvissusfeJiiries. Of the oth er nine Medfordites'assi'gned ball packing chores only three failed to break the double figures. The Pelicans, commended by coach Bob Williams for their over all efforts against the "Big Wind," collected their lone touchdown with barely a minute left in the game when sophomore fullback Larry McClure blasted througn the mid dle from the Medford two. Guard John Hancock, who was highly praised by his coach for his work, both on offense and defense, booted the ball high and far over the bar for the seventh point. Said Williams, "It's disappointing lo lore naturally but if you have to lose, being dumped by No. 1 in the state is the best way to do it. I think our offense looked good fumbles hurt us a couple of times, of course. There were times when our defense could have been belter but don't take anything from that Medford offense. It was terrific. "John Hancock played a tremen dous ballgame. We have no count but he was making tackles all over the field a one man gang. WrwsL proud of Hunsakor (quarterback RWil-.HifflnRyed a lot of ball and did a good job"" Williams added. Hancock entered the game limping from a knee injury. He was still limping when the contest was'over. Williams' comment, "There is no hame connected with losing to a team like that," was echoed many times through the jam - packed gtands. The Tornado evidenced its in tent ions 'early in the game, senr Ing just five plays into their first series after getting the ball on the- KU 37. Sieg whipped 10 yards 'through the middle for the first . fix points and Lynn Knight kicked ; the extra. On their next shot at the hall the Medfordites depended ; on Hood and senior fullback Skip Bennett for a 41-yard march to paydirt for the second time. Ben- nett plunged over from the two after he had piled an 11-yard dash on top of a brilliant 28-yard romp , by Hood. ' The Pelicans got back into the Ibaligame late in the first quarter and collected a pair of first downs before Jim Parks was forced to punt the first of four kicks good i for an average of 40.7 per boot.

On their next series the Tornado culminated a A2-yard march with a "showboat" one-handed pass re ception by end Lowell Dean good for 27 yards and the 31st point.

Ragsdale connected on three passes, Bennett hit one and Hood finished the job with a left handed success to Ragsdale who went 29 yards.

Scatback Ron Ol vera notched 23 in nine carries, McClure got 20 in six, Blake Griggs hit 18 in nine, Greg Jones amassed 21 in four missions and Hunsakcr kept nine times for 17.
