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.
' Moments later defensive halfback
Ken Lewis intercepted a Medford
' pass and stopped on the Medford
. 1. Two playa later a miscue on a
; KU handoff returned the ball to
tie Tornado.

Just two plays after the third
frame started the Tornado was out

off 30 yards, Sieg blasted 47 yards
lo the Pel three and then followed
up with a plunge for pay.
On their next series the Tornado
culminated a A2-yard march with a
"showboat" one-handed pass re

for 27 yards and the 31st point.

LOS ANGELES (UPD - The
Los Angeles Dodgers were free
Saturday lo negotiate a new con
tract to play ball next season in
the Los Angeles Coliseum until
completion of their baseball sta
dium. City Allorney Roger Arnebergh
in a ruling issued Friday, said
the Dodgers need not be held to
the present conlract,' which stipu
lates a 10 per cent rental plus
concession optbn.
For the first two years they paid
a flat $200,000 plus 10 per cent on
nine designated games and re
ceived concession profits for all
but nine games.
Other tenants also had their
rent cut from 10 to 5 per cent
during the period of the Dodgers'
reduced rental.
Arnebergh suggested the Dodg
ers begin negotiations for the new
contract as soon as possible if
they intend to play a full or par
tial reason in the huge oval.

they rolled to two third quarter
TDs and one more in the final
frame.
All three of the Yreka six
pointers were set up by shifty
halfback Daryl Severn; who raced
S3 and 65 yards during the
second half.
End Tom Wilcox got the Miners
started on the comeback trail in
the third canto when he gathered
in a short pass from quarterback
Dan Behnke,. who completed nine
of 10 aerials for 184 total yards
against CP, and scored 'from the
12-yard line. Severns scoied min
utes later when he tallied on a

"I feel we out-played them but
they had the edge in the scoring
column," said Sacred Heart Acad
emy coach Jerry Kempt, following
his team's 13-7 defeat to Bonanza
in Gem Stadium Friday night.
"We played real good ball, espe
cially the first three quarters,"
said Kempt, "but those two fum
bles in the fourth quarter were the
difference."
The first Trojan bohhle on the
25 came with approximately four
minutes left in the County B
League lest while the second, on
the 45. resulted in the winning
touchdown being scored by Bonan
za in the final 20 seconds.
The game, a scoreless deadlock
for three quarters, broke wide open
in the final period. SUA scored
first as halfback Jerry DcNault
piled inlo the end zone from- four
yards out. After Trojan fullback
Jim Ryan converted on a plunge.
Bonanza went to work.
Antler quarterback Denny Ellis
hit hallhack Alvin Brooks with a
short screen pass and Brooks ram
bled 27 yards untouched to pay-
dirt. Fullback Larry Albert dove
over for the PAT to tie the count
at 7-7.
After recovering a Trojan fum
ble on the SHA 45 with betler
than two minutes remaining, the
Bonanza crew, fighting the clock
all the way, battled to the four
yard line from where fullback Jim
O'Conner bulled his way over for
the winning six points with only
seconds showing on the clock.
Ryan, who set up the Trojan
TD with a 38-yard scamper early
in the final canto, was cited by
Kempt as "turning in a great per
formance for us." "He did his usu-
al good job and piled up a lot
of yards," said Kempf.
