Page Ten. THE REGTSTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON. Wednesday Highclimber By DICK S TRITE Tucked away on the last pare of the United States Navy's bureau of aeronautics' book on recom mended physical Illness programs for high schools and colleges Is a very Interesting foot note on eligibility. It reads: "It is recommended that the ports program be developed to accommodate all students, except those who cannot participate safe ly. The physician's recommenda tions should be used as the chief basis for determining eligibility. Hence, low status in scholastic work should not be grounds for excluding a student from any part of the physical training program. The above recommendations are based on the conviction lhat the benefit to students of physical training Is equally as Important as that coming from any other sub ject In the curriculum. We 6ee the hand of Lieutenant Ciordon Ridings in this final note. The f'.rmer University of Oregon athlete and Columbia University physical education professor, Is a constructive thinker along these lines which have been advocated for years by some P. E. men and the lnterscholastlc and Intercol legiate coaches almost to a man. Some educators, In fact most of the mossbacks who string along closely to the Thrcc-H's, frown on Mich a plan. But isn't it true that competitive sports arc. or should be as Important as readln', 'riling and 'rlthmetlc? Sure, and students receive physi cal training through gym classes and Intramural sports that are not governed by scholastic eligibility. But It Is our contention, and that of Hobby Hobson, for example, that there Is no substitute for In terscholastic or Intercollegiate ath letics; and that the benefits should tend to make students more pro ficient In regular classroom book work. The plan Is Just another trend lhat comes from the present war time conditions. Another Is the coming "teen" age draft which will take most of the present var sity men from the squads (ex cept those who are not physically equlpt to enter the service) and not a few high school lads. The current football season will escape the "call to arrns" for the youngsters, but what of basket ball, baseball and track? Preppera are now eligible to compete up to their lDth birthdays and most of the leading athletes, particular ly basketball and football players, are within the "teen" age draft section. Come December and there will be definite changes In the picture. But there la no reason to elimi nate the three sports. There will always be enough kids less ex perienced and of lower calibre In the skills of sports, but still young sters capable of competing against their own age groups. Because of the pending "teen age" draft, Hobby Hobson Is one of the strong advocates of lifting the freshman rulo and allowing the yearlings to play varsity sports If they can hack It. "They won't be In college but a year or two at the most. Why not let 'em play while they're here," Hobson said. There's no good reason. In fart no reason at all for the Eugene Axemen to take next Friday night's game at Klamath Falls lightly. The "Big Purple" will have to show considerably more than they showed either the Mll waukie Maroons or used to beat a Pelican club that can lick Med plonship title fight. Hie fighting was close, but Pastor might have gained a draw with Bivins but for a low blow In the eighth round whirl, ri. ford 32-0 any Medford football i the negro an unearned round, team. I The first two rounds were snent had a sensational punting average of 46 yards. Eugene has a potentially good running attack that would func tion against the best of prep com petition if the Axemen backs can get under way a few seconds fast er than demonstrated against Mil waukic. The defense cannot af ford to be fooled, however, as it was on the Maroons' punt for mation. The fact that Medford managed to complete five of 15 passes against Klamath for 79 yards might Indicate Eugene's aerial game could damage Klam ath's record of five consecutive triumphs. The "Big Poison" In the Klam ath backfield is no doubt Ralph Foster, a 158-pound left halfback spcedburner who returned one Medford punt for a 70-yard touch down and powered over from the six on another. The Pelican back field Is built fur speed. The largest man Is Quarterback Arnold Sherby at 172 pounds. Corvallls also had a left half back who may trouble the Axe men before the close of the sea son Captain Allan Anderson who scored three touchdowns while the Spartans were whipping Salem 33-7, one on a 56-yard scoot . . . From all reports the Corvallis at tack Is built around aerials, 190 yards against Salem coming through the air lanes. It's a Utile early to talk about "bowl" games, but For the past five years, the winner of the Tennessee-Alabama game has been in one of the post season classics. Alabama whipped Tennessee In 1937 and went to the Rose Bowl. Tennessee beat Alabama the next three years and played In the Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls In that order. Alabama won last year and went to the Cotton bowl. Ala bama won last Saturday. The Fresno State football team certainly Isn't doing much to avoid inflation. The Bulldogs have rolled up 1D0 points In four games, 51 against Whlttler, 53 against Oc cidental, 66 against San Diego, and 20 against the coast guards. Little Jackie Fellows has fired the big guns for Fresno. He has completed 27 of his 53 passes for 417 yards. Bivins Beats Bob Pastor CLEVELAND.

With the ending of offense for. mations also came the probable starting lineup to be used this week, with alternates at two posi tions. Certain to start will be Russ Nowling and Jim Shephard at ends, Ed Moshofsky at one tac kle, Floyd Rhea and Bob Davis at guards, Steve Bodncr at center, Tommy Roblin at quarter, Bob Reynolds at left half, and Bill Davis at fullback. Either Dick Ashcom or Merritt Kufferman will play the other tackle spot, and either Scotty Deeds or Kenny Oil phant will open at right half. VANDALS BATTERED MOSCOW, Ida., Oct. 21 U.R Badly battered, the University of Idaho Vandals came home Tues day from the Stanford game to face a stiff practice schedule for three afternoons before departure for the Oregon game. Dean Lewis, right guard, was believed out for at least two weeks with a slight concussion injury. Starling Center Henry Crowly had a couple of cracked ribs, and Fullback Joe Malta had a shoulder injury. BRUINS BRONCOS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 'U.R) Concentrating on Bronco plays, Coach Babe Horrell put his U. C L. A. Bruins through an intensive workout today. Word from Santa Clara indicated that the Broncos are sharpening up their running plays with 45-minute drills for their clash with the Bruins in the Coliseum here Saturday. TROJANS TEST "T" LOS ANGELES. Oct 21 (UK- Using the famous Stanford "T" formation, the U. S. C. freshman gridders gave the Trojan varsity a beating yesterday during a heavy scrimmage. Coach Jell cravain announced today that Mickey Mo Cardie, left half, turned in some good runs and passes gaainst the "T." Hal Finney, left hall, ana Mei Bleeker were out of action with slight Injuries, but Cravath said they should be ready to see action against the Indians In San Fran cisco Saturday. 199-POUNDS BACKFIELD CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 21 0 Lineup revisions today gave the Oregon State football team one of the heaviest backf.elds In the coast conference. Choc. Shelton, 200-pound alter nate fullback, was shifted to right halfback so that he and Fullback Joe Day, 200, could be in the game at the same time to crack opposition lines.

U By LEO PETERSEN NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (U.R) A man with a slow Texas drawl ad dressed the Notre Dame football squad in its dressing room before last Saturday's game against the Iowa Seahawks. What he said In his heart-to-his boys talk is a secret but what his boys did after hearing him is gridiron history. Their 28-0 vic tory over the supposedly invinc ible Seahawks won for the man the United Press "coach of the week" award. His name is Edward Clark Tim othy McKeever and he wants it understood that he is only one of five men in the Notre Dame pic ture. Modest to a point and a little embarrassed by all the praise be stowed upon him for the Irish suc cesses against Stanford and the cadets, he said: "I'm very appreciative of the congratulations drected to me, but people seem to forget that Frank Leahy is the man who prepared this team." McKeever, the backfield coach, took over when Leahy, the head mentor, had to go to a hospital for treatment.

The entire sq'.iii came out of the Milwaukie game in good shape and with no serious injuries. The line-up will no doubt be strength ened by the return of Frank Bishop, righthalf, and Mert Jones, right guard. Both witnessed the Milwaukie game from the bench. It is not yet certain whether the two will bo ready to open against Klamath. Kramer was well pleased with the Axemen's performance against Milwaukie, but stated lots of work had to be done to prepare the Purple eleven for Klamath Falls. His starting line-up Is not defi nitely set, but will no doubt be the same that opened against the Ma roons, except for the possible ex ception of the backfield, where five men will be battling for four positions. Kramer hopes to have his regular backfield capable .of playing two positions, to offset any serious injury that might oc cur. The Axemen mentor also an nounced changes in the Eugene schedule. The E u g e n e-S a 1 e m school, Austin, Tex. He matricu lated at Notre Dame in 1930 and won freshman numerals. In the fall of 1931 he went out for var sity football and when he found himself fifth string fullback he de cided to go to Rice, where Meagher then was coaching. He arrived too late to enroll, however, and journeyed on to Texas Tech where he played in 1932-33-34 under Peter Cawthon. In his three years the team won 30 out of 35 games. After graduating he remained at Tech as a member of the coach ing staff for four seasons. During the summer of 1938 Leahy lec tured at Tech and met McKeever. McKeever made such a strong im pression on him that when Leahy was named head coach at Boston college in 1939 he selected Mc Keever as his backfield coach. When Leahy switched to Notre Dame he took McKeever with him. For four straight years teams he has coached have played in bowl games Texas Tech in the Sun bowl in 1938 and the Cotton Bowl in 1939 and Boston college In the Cotton bowl in 1940 and the Sugar bowl in 1941. Ducklings to Play OSC Rooks Friday Anse Cornell started tampering off his University of Oregon freshman footbal lsquad's training Wednesday in preparation for the Duckling's opening game of the season against the Oregon State Rooks at Corvallis Friday night. The yearlings boast a great di'ensive line but only Benny Hol comb of The Dalles, left halfback, as an offensive threat. The Rooks, under Coach Jim Carr, is consid ered one of the finest in recent years. More than 100 candidates were attracted by the glitter of last year's Oregon State victory in the Rose Bowl.
