Page 8 Eugene Register-Guard, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 1944 j Highclimber By DICK STRITE We've been accused of losing northern division, Pacific coast conference basketball games, but losing a state high chool football championship is a new crime. .The charge is based on several counts:. 1. That we failed to publicize the Eugene Axemen. 2. We shoud have deleted mention of the 19-6 loss to North Bend.. 3. That we've at tempted to tear down the Eugene football team instead of build it up. After more than ten years of listening to people who ' imagine (sometimes they really have good points of argu ment) things that do not exist, we should have become calloused to the howl of the wolves. But we worry about such things not that our chief would give us the "pink slip," but that we've lost a friend. Opinions expresse'd in this column are naturally debat able and we would be much happier handing out orchids day after day instead of taking a "crack" at something or someone. Some years ago we defended Fritz Kramer on a very serious charge which we risked the making of several enemies, but were convinced of our right. Last winter we took Ralph Coleman of O.S.C. to task because he officiated a state basketball tournament game between Corvallis and Springfield. More recently we criticized the over-working of Paul Lee, the Corvallis high halfback. v We didn't fear that Kramer's foes, or Coleman, or the Corvallis coach would cc'ne to the office and give us a "punch In the nose," but we felt generally uncomfortable because we were fully aware of writing something (however truthful) that would make some one fighting mad. It's something known In the newspaper business as editorial backbone. We'd hate to believe that our readers would want a writer who didn't have the "guts" to say what he believed: to try to remedy what he thought was wrong, just for the sake of being a pleasant fence-sitter. So, we want to take the opportunity to make a defense of these charges. 1. The circulation of the Register-Guard totals. In round num bers 21.500 and approximately 8500 go on the doorsteps of Eugene resident. We must judre the value of our news and local coverage accordingly. It was a matter of judgment, but our opinion was that there was more reader Interest in the Cottage Grove-Lebanon game last week-end than in the Eugene-Albany game: (a) within our circulation area there was Lebanon, Sweet Home, Junction City, Springfield, Cottage Grove, Recdsport and some Eugene interest In a game that not only decided the Trl-County championship, but was a district elimination; (b) Eugene high had already clinched at least a co-championshlp of the No-Name league and the Axemen were playing an opponent that was not In the running tor recognition. We are not on the school board payroll, but would do anything within reason to help build up a ball club at the request of the coach. Actually, we challenge anyone to compare the column Inches In the- two Portland papers on Eugene high football against any other school in the state. Including any one Portland school. While most of the stories have been about the No-Name league as a whole, Eugene has been majored because of its standing In the circuit. But we'll hit more on this In point No. 3. The layman probably" doesn't consider the unusual local situ ation, unlike any other up-state newspaper. Eugene high, is a large school with more than 1000 students, but there are 18 other high schools in Lane county, let alone others In our circulation area and many of them have been sadly neglected and over shadowed by the Axemen. We wonder It the effort to "build up" high school athletics Is worth it, and maybe the educators who claim publicity la not a good tttlnr for kids are right. Per haps the era of some ten years ago when sports pages were half as big aa even the present wartime section was the happy period. ( High school sports received occasional mention In those days. 2. Actually, Eugene did not have an undefeated season and "forgetting", the. loss to North Bend would have been deceiving. We thought it only fair, especially to North Bend, to mention the set back, with the notation that the result did riot count in district championship consideration. We'll have something to say about the selection of Gresham later on. 8. As the season progressed, we hoped and felt more and more certain that Hank Kuchera was devolplng a team of state champship. calibre. We don't know enough about the game to lend our coach ing friends expert advice, but from time to time we have aided them by NOT having the teams win championships before the contests involved. There Is no deadlier opponent than overconfldence, and we honestly did feel that Salem and Albany were deflntely stumbling atones, and tried to tone our stories to the possibility of Impending dangers. The weak link of the Eugene team was the line, from tackle to tackle, although the line was pretty fair weak only by comparison to an otherwise title team. We attempted to awaken a new spirit in the efforts of the linemen with criticism. We have done the same thing before usually at. the personal request of the coach. It's very likely our psychology was wrong although Eugene DID get by those two potentially tough opponents and the line DID de velop into a unit that was virtually on a par with a good backfield and great wlngmen. Ask almost any coach of experience and he'U tell you his worst rear or, puDiicity is to have some lug build up his team as a champ ion, only to have the team take a nose-dive. Then again, It's quite possible that a grand old drum-bealinir about potential champions of the state would have convinced the district committee. A guy's between the Devil and the deep blue sea. hi line a quarterback who calls for a pass from his 10-yard line that makes him a mastermind If it works and a chump if inter cepted and turned Into a winning touchdown for the ODOonent. With the season closed, we had planned another column for to dayabout Eugene high football and Kuchera. This was destroyed because of the fact that our Job wouldn't be worth doing it there Was any indication we could be "gotten to" by possible threats of a campaign to MAKE us write "hearts and flowers" in the future. vie a mucn sooner be digging ditches. Money, outside of being a medium for the support of the four other Stritcs, has never been the objective of our sports writing. We like the work despite a 3:50 ss.i,l. uoilj ami 111 ciuik. And now that onr critics have been taken care of (we hope the explanation of our Eugene high football tempo and pointing out our "...ni puncy oi me pass ana me future Is clear) ne again feel dis posed to return to the role of critic. The District 3 committee that selected Gresham to meet Medford In next Thursday's semi-finals may not have made a mistake (the Gophers may be one of those great little teams, like Bellfountiiin's state hoop champs) In picking the best team but If not, the selec tion was purely luck. The committee would have been much belter ofi had it not made, or attempted to make a long oNplanation re garding its reason for picking Gresham. The fact that Eugene, playing one of the tnughest schedules In the stale, was the logical choice providing the Axemen beat Albany is besides the point. In comparing Eugene and Gresham on the performance In their games against Oregon City definitely tabbed the gentlemen from Corvallis, Astoria and Milwaukie as 'knowing very little about the task tliev years ago a football bug. Juggling comparative scores, definitely proved that some high school team was 30 belter than Noire Dame. ...... .... ivnuiMim wuiufQ iu mane comparisons, it could have also compared Eugene and Gresham by another method (Milwaukie beat O. C. 38-0. Gresham beat O. C. 21-0, Eugene beat Milwaukie 8-0) which would have made Milwaukie 17 points better than Gresham and Eugonc 25 points stronger than Gresham. Ftor goodness sakes you can even make Collage Grove 1 1 points better than Eugene bv taking the Lions' 27-0 victory over Lebanon, the Warriors' 12-0 wiii over Albany and Eugene's 27-0 verdict over Albany. ...

The No-Name football league, for seven years the recognized grid power in up-state interschol astic football, has virtually wrap ped up the 1944 season with the Eugene high Axemen winning its second outright championship in history. League officials were stunned at the failure of the district com mittee to select the Axemen as mythical champions of District 3 and as an opponent for the Med ford Tornadoes in a Thanksgiving Day state semi-final championship battle. Coach Hank Kuchera's Eugene team, a so-so aggregation at the start of the season which roared down the home-stretch with championship calibre football, amassed a perfect record in league competition. The "Big Purple" won all five league encounters, scoring 92 points without having its goal line crossed. Eugene boasted no one star, but a well balanced backfield quartet, a pair ot great ends in Dale Warbcrg and Darrell Robinson, and a line that showed defensive improvement in every contest. Milwaukie Closest Contest Opening with an unimpressive 14-0 victory over Oregon City, the Axemen were never seriously threatened by league opponents, the closest decision coming in the mud here with an 8-0 verdict over the defending champion Milwau kie Maroons. Eugene's championship, coupled with a 1942 title, tied Milwaukie for the most championships won since the Maroons won the in augural season's crown in 1938. All other years the title has been shared Eugene and Milwaukie co-winners In 1939, Salem and Al bany in 1940, and Salem. Corval lis and Albany finished In a three- way deadlock In 1941.. Paul Lee, sensational Corvallis halfback, won the league's indiv idual scoring championship just as decisively as Eugene won the team title. The hard - working 158 pounder scored six touchdowns and one extra point for the Spar tans for a season's total of 37, nine points more than Ray Lakin of Milwaukie whose four touch downs and four conversions gave him second place with 28. All-Stars To Be Selected Lee's total failed to equal the winning 55-point total by Dick Oberstaller of Milwaukie last year, but bettered his 1943 total of 24 points for the Spartans. Lakin col lected only three points last year. Tied for third place with three touchdowns and 18 points each were Billy Hutchinson, pass pitching left halfback for Eugene, and his right-halfback teammate, Marion Denzer. Jack Cooper of Milwaukie was the third player with 18 points. Handy Andy Bodner, Eugene fullback, was next in line with 16 points, followed by three others with 13 each End Dale Warberg of Eugene, Bob Pratt of Milwau kleand Ev Staats of Salem, both backs. The league coaches Kuchera, Earl McKinncy of Corvallis, Dan Jones of Oregon City. Tom Drynan of Salem, Merritt McKeel ot Mil waukie, and Ed Ryan of Albany are now balloting for the all league team which is expected to be announced soon by Kuchera, league secretary.

State 'B' Title Tilt Thursday The Oregon high school myth ical state "B" six-man football championship will be at stake . Thursday morning st Civic Sta dium where the Oakrldge War riors will meet the challenge of an undefeated Banks high sex tet, champions of six counties in the northern port of the state. Game time will be 19:30 o'clock. Another Thanksgiving day Sports feature will be served at Cottage Grove Thursday morn ing when the Trl-County cham pion Lions meet Junction City In a traditional game, starting at 11:15 o'clock. Cottage Grove, unbeaten this season, will be heavy favorite over the much beaten Tigers. It will be the final football game in the area this season. Coach Jack Walton's War riors. 40-26 victors over Maple ton in the county championship game last week, will be meeting a formidable foe In Banks, a team th&l walloped previously unbeaten Knappa-Svensen 36 19 last week-end. Johnson To Defend Title Against Ross Gust Johnson, the sensational Seattle Swede who holds the Pacific coast junior heavyweight championship,, will defend .his crown in the feature match oi a holiday show at the Pearl Street arena Thursday night. Match maker Don Owen has assured Lane county wrestling followers of a lucious Thanksgiving Bay mat feast. Johnson, the hottest matman in the area at the present timei and a grappler who "hit it off" with local fans the first time he ap peared here, will defend his title against a formidable foe Tony "Toledo Terror" Ross. Although Johnson won the coast crown by winning a nine man title tournament, in Port land recently, Ross bases his chal- lenge claim on a victory scored over the northerner in the inaug ural "traveling trophy" tourna ment here two weeks ago. John son was handicapped In the event here when forced to appear in consecutive matches and was assigned the toughest match of the evening in one of the pre liminaries beating the '.'Grey Mask." He then lost to Ross in the finals. The last Johnson-Ross skir mish was a rugged affair, giv ing promise to another slam bang battle. Ross, a former wel terweight boxing champion wres tles In the same fistic style as Pete Belcastro, Bulldog Jackson and the other villains. But John son Is capable of handling him self against the roughest and toughest. Owen did not announce the two preliminary matches, but Inti mated he was attempting to find an opponent to meet Herb Parks in the semi-final tilt Holiday matches have always attracted capacity crowds in past years, and Owen warns fans to make early reservations at the Club cigar store. Jack Dempsey Takes Blame For Long Count In Tunney Fight CHICAGO, Nov. 21. (M Commander Jack Dempsey of the coast guard, one-time king of the heavyweights, came back to the scene of his bitterest ring disappointment and blamed him self for that long-argued "long count" loss to Gene Tunney 17 years ago. Apparently mellowed by the years that have passed since he failed to regain his crown from Tunney here In 1927, and evi dently no longer concerned with the length of that count, he told the Quarterback club here: "Nobody is to blame for that long count. The referee was not responsible for It, Tunney was not responsible for It, the timer was not responsible for it. The only person responsible was my self." The famous "long count1 came after Dempsey had floored Tunney and then failed to go into a neutral comer quickly. Dempsey was here with form er lightweight champion Lou Ambers In the Interest of the sixth war loan drive. ' Northam Takes Singles In Salem Bowling Test Two Eugene bowling teams.

Although the Rose Bowl com mittee openly favors Ohio State, the faculty fathers of the Big Ten are expected to turn down a pro posal to lift the ban on post-season games at a meeting this week-end. Moreover, Michigan's Wolverines are lurking just around the corner and if they hand the Buckeyes their first beating the Rose Bowl boom probably will collapse. If Georgia Tech passes up a Rose Bowl bid in favor of the Sugar Bowl, Duke, despite its four de feats, probably would have the in side track. The west coast folks haven't forgotten Duke's fine ges ture ot hospitality when they transplanted the 1942 Rose Bowl game with Oregon State to Dur ham, N.

Hudson was worried about a possible caddie shortage until he contacted sports writers of school papers at Portland's eight prep in stitutions. They told him they would line up the bag-toters, and they did 150 of them. Hudson then tossed a banquet for the embryo caddies and Larry Lamberger, Portland club .pro, gave them a lesson in club-carrying procedure. But Hudson wasn't through with the caddies. He announced that he would pay their fees out ot his own pocket, taking that burden off the players' shoulders. Hudson's crowning touch, how ever, was the decision to construct grandstands along , the . playing route for the benefit of spectators and convalescent soldiers, five for the former and one for the latter. The stands will be so situated, he says, that watchers won't have to pick golf clubs out of their hair. GIANTS ELECT OFFICER NEW YORK, Nov, 21 (U.B Edgar P.
