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.

of 46 yards.
Eugene has a potentially good
running attack that would func

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

Spartans were whipping Salem

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

20 against the coast guards.

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

stowed upon him for the Irish suc

"I'm very appreciative of the
congratulations drected to me, but
people seem to forget that Frank
Leahy is the man who prepared

The entire sq'.iii came out of
the Milwaukie game in good shape

It is not yet certain whether the

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

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

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
