Three of the lot Morgan, Moore and IJernaid Hughes by virtue of their rugged physique and football training, are better than the aver age freshman player today. If they don't make, the Oregon freshman team without a struggle, hundreds of Hogue Hiver valley fans will al ways think they ought to, nnd will bo convinced there woo skulldug gery at the campus crosH-roads. It does not seem possible that eani- : pus polities could be strong enough to e:ist them aside so all sections of the state would be represented on the frosh squad. .Morgan is a big fellow who plays tackle: Moore is a flashy half ! back, and Rernard Hughes is a rough, tough renter. Alt. use their heads as well as their hands and feet when playing football, and can take care of themselves any place. Morgan and Huk'hes are husky six footers. Moore is built on lower lines, but has strength nnd speed. MrDoimld Talkative McDonald is a good bet for the basketball squad, but Is also a heady end. He is a cocky player talks a lot. For all of that, he has a faculty of delivering touch downs and baskets in a pinch. t'HU'At.O.

LEON HASKINS IS discipline, ami genera life among the young men at the Annapolis h'in fans booed his cockiness last icademy. which is of especial in terest locally because of the Med funl boys there and at the West Point military 'academy.

HOLD LEGION ELECTION NEXT MONDAY EVENING tigly and amusingly featured.

American Legion Post No. 1 will 7 take place at the Armory. Much interest Is luring shown in tlie outcome of the election and -mie keen competition is looked for in several of the offices. AH Legionnaires of Medford and vicin ity iire urged to be on hand to vote f"r their favorite eandlates. Virk City, as seen in "Salute" is ahne worth the price of admission. The love story is charming and gives us our first view of two new young Juvenile screen actors, neither of whom is overburdened with pulchritude. b u t possess strong screen appeal and personal ity, acting ability and good voices. Tin y are William Jaunty who pla s 1 'aul. tlie manly and some what timid and fragile Annapolis midshipman, who sq builds himself up eventually in aggressiveness and physical strength that, infuri ated by jealousy of his older and bigger, burly brother (played by c.eoi ge O'P.rlen captain of the W"M Point eleven, he ties the big football game by spilling and slop ping him: and Helen Chandler as Nancy, the girl who encourages him and whom he thought his brother was in love with. The acting of the others of the large supporting cast Ls good, nnd I here is Stephen Petchit, the elon gated negro comedian, who Is al ways goofl for many laughs. How ever the most laughs in "Salute" are furnished by the way in which the upper classmen at Annapolis lord it over the entering class. R. A. K. I spring at the state basketball tour nament, but he kept right on throwing baskets. Stoehr, as big as Morgan; Gar nett, a deceptive open field runner; Jack Hughes, a defensive guard, and Hill IJowerman, a steady, but not flashy end, may be nosed out by Portland high school tars for regular places. , Al Melvin. another member of last year's football and basketball champions, will also enter Oregon, if he can get hi scholastic stand ings straightened out. Melvin, a rangy youth, will probably be used exclusively for basketball. The Medford high aspirants for college football honors, will all re port in lip top physical condition. Morgan and Jack Hughes have been fighting fires all summer; Hernard Hughes has been working In the logging camps of Klamath county. Fred McDonald has been tolling in an orchard, and all the rest have been busy al hard labor. The t.'ntversity of Oregon may not use them all, but those thuy do will give them something to talk about until well along in the spring. , WILD BILL DEFEATED BY MAGIC ON GEN No new fires had been reported at Crater natfminl forest headquar ters here either In the Crater for est or on state land up to nearly afternoon today, and nil the old fires were reportud ns still under control. However, thero was a tiro Inst night on the (.reettsprings moiin tain In timber about six miles from the new town of Lincoln and only two miles from Urn hotmdnry lino of Crater national forest, which started about 5 p. ni. yesterday, and was goten under control late last night. It was handled by the Klamath Protection association fire fighters and burned over an area of 10 acres. Fven when Leon Haskins was a! little boy, it is said, ho always , aspired to be a policeman. Natty j blue uniforms had a peculiar fas- I eiuation for him ami the sight of gfdd braid and shining buttons, it ; is alleged, filled him with particu- j lar glee. I Put cruel fate decreed otherwise, j and Leon, thwarted In his iinitii- : lions, could only dream of wielding a "billy club" as be slaved aWay in his office chair overlooking Med ford's business district. Put suppressed desires have a way of coming to the surface un expectedly at times. At least that's the Wity his friends explained the local business m:i n's st ra nge ac- , lions at an early hour this morn-! ing. I Dodging In and out behind cars; parked along Main street, he was j discovered marking vehicles a j piece of policeman's chalk grasped : in bis fist, and a gleam of victory I in his eyes. Having completely! chalked "P one line of cars, he Is yald to have waited his chance and pounced upon others as soon as their drivers had left them to do a j bit of shopping in the stores. J And now, it is said, that a peti-j tlgn is being circulated by car owners and friends of the loeM finance man, in tin attempt to thwart any appltcat ion Leon may have or may still make for a posi tion o the Medford poller force.
