EARL COSS WINS
BOYS' NET TITLE
In game in which both players
showed wonderful playing, Earl Coas,
1 2, defeated Sam Vu n Dyke, 1 S,
for the Junior tennis championship
of Med ford Sunday. The game was
refereed by Miss Vivian Coas, who
substituted for Mis Dorothy Mitchell,
local Y. W. O. A. secretary.
Aa winner of the tournament,
which had been In progress several
day. Coas was awarded a watch fob
donated by Larry Sihode. The fob
displayed two tennis players engraved
on It. Van Dyke waa presented a
fountain pen by the Olflc Stationery
and Supply company.
Van Dyke won the first set, 7 to 6
with Coas taking the second, fl-0. The
third was a deuce aet, with Cose
winning, 7 to 0,
snatching victory for the western
"big three" eleven from the eastern
forces last evening in a spectacular
finish to the demonstration game of
American college football, with, the
Olympic torch flaming high above
the peristyle, 60,000 spectators In the
stands, many of them seeing their
first contest, and no leas than eight
bands contributing to an extraordi
nary sight.
The final score waa 7 to 0 In fa
vor of the combined forces of U. 0.
C, California and Stanford .against
the aggregation representing Yale,
Harvard and Princeton but the far
western players, led, by Shaver, gave
a more superior exhibition of offen
sive football than the margin Indi
cated, The east, after staving off three
western drives to Its five yard Una
In the first three periods, broke the
scoreless deadlock by gaining
touchdown early In the final quarter
on the first bounce, under unusual
circumstances and through the alert-
nesa of a Yale boy named Burton
Strange. A dazzling 38-yard broken
field run by Harvard's Eddie Mays,
Just before the third quarter ended,
put the east In scoring position for
the first time. Big Ed R"tau of
Ynle tried a placement kick, with the
ball on the west's 27-yard line, but
It was partially blocked and bounced
off at " tangent, still on the playing
field. Aa the atartled westerners
fumbled for t1- ball around their
own five-yard stripe, Strange came
bounding through to p'c' It up and
r-.oe across the goal line. Unfortu
nnt'"y for the visiting boys, Eddie
Mays' attempted dropklck for the ex
tra pc' waa blocked and the west
waa quick to seize 'ie opportunity,
Fr- their own 35-yard line, after
Rotnn's '-koff, the westerners lugged
the ball straight down the field, 69
yards In 16 plays, with Shaver doing
mist of " e work and finally diving
over hla right tar'ile for the touch
down on Tourth down, af'er the
sturdy eaatern defense twice stopped
the rival charge with loan than a foot
to negotiate. Shaver's longest gain
In this sequence of p'-; 3 was 20
yards but he proved himself easily
the ' -'lest ball ce-rier on the
field. The decisive point that
il Inched the west's victory waa
place-kicked by Ed Klrw-n of Cali
fornia, r'ht halfback.
The cheering, In a variety of lang
uages, the brilliance of the "show"
put on by the 1000 piece Olympic
band and the Olymplo chorus of 1000
voices, all contributed to one of the
mot "nusual spectacles In American
football history a mid-summer
night's dream of gridiron.

the St. Louis Cardinals and Phillies,
put in exactly five hours and seven
minutes actual playing time as the
