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.

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

an opponent to meet Herb Parks

capacity crowds in past years, and

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.

The tournament, beginning
Thursday and lasting through
Sunday, has attracted almost
tvery top-flight professional in
the land, plus many amateurs and
both amateur and professional
women stars.

on the scoreboard.
For hungry fans and players
there will be a sandwich and
drinks concession between the
15th and 16th greens, and another
larger eating place at the club
house. 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.
