I OF LOYAL TANS A number of Medford businessmen, 'are working out plans to scrap the antique equipment of the Calllaon regime, now in use by the Medford fclgh school "Tiger Eleven.'. . Coach D. K. Burgher, after meet ing with this group, said that he had made a complete survey of the equip merit on hand and finds that It Is going to be a problem to tog out the. Tigers for the coming season. Burgher stated that every care had been given this equipment. Repairs have been made on old shoes, pants, Jerseys and other gear, but in spite of this care new equipment is abso lutely necessary In order to give the , boys the proper protection and bring the Tiger. squad up to the standard or other high school teams in the state. A very few pieces were purchased recently,, but new playing togs must be secured as soon as possible. The "Booster Club." now working on the reoutflttlng of the Tiger team, 1s endeavoring to have the boys all outfitted and "hot" from head to foot tor the Klamath game. The "Booster club" was formed when number of the tans observed the de plorable condition of the equipment being used In practice. Many of the boys are without headgear, have 111 fttting shoes and misfit shoulder- pads. The above condition will get by in practice, but when the seasou opens and stiff competition Is the order of the day, proper equipment is n absolute necessity. To this end, the Booster club," backed by the Cham ber of Commerce and service duos, promise to put the Tigers on the field dressed up as well as any high fcchool team in the state.

(AP) The attempt of Ellsworth Vines, for mer national tennis champion, to repudiate his criticism of American Davis cup strategy and management this year, has been Investlgtaed by the Associated press with the following results: instead of repudiating! (1) Vines, remarks he made at Newport earlier In the summer, repeated and ampli fied them when be talked with sports writers on his return to Los Angeles. (3) The former champion'a cate gorical denial of criticism of Davis cup methods, made in a telegram to Vernon Prentice of New yorx. cap-; tain of the American team, was dis patched after consultation with Perry Jones, secretary of the California Tennis assoclotlon. (3) The subject matter of Vines' remarks, criticizing the "psychology" of "fight talks" given Vie rlayers before the Davis' cup matches abroad and urging that a former interna tionalist be put in charge of the American team, was confirmed by Vines' teammates, as well as by all sports writers who talked with the Callfornlan. The original story, carried by the Associated Press under a Newport, R. I., dateline last week, was based on an Interview written for the Boston Transcript by Its sports editor, Geo. C arena, one of the best Informed ten nis writers In the east. He sent the following telegram today to Alan Gould, sports editor of the Associated Press: "Vines absolutely was not misquot ed. I had a 40-mlnute talk with Vines on Tuesday of Newport week and agreed to .hold the story until after he was beaten at Los Angeles. As you know, I have 33 years of sports writing experience and I do not misquote athletic celebrities. yines told Carens, In effect, that the Davis cup players were "treated like babies" before the matches with England and urged the appointment of an ex-player like Frank Hunter, Vincent Richards or Dick Williams, as non-playing captain, Instead of an executive of the type of Prentice. When he got back home. Vines elab orated on his theme to Los Angeles writers, adding William T. Tllden and William M. Johnston to the list of nominations for the captaincy. While paying tribute to Prentloe as a "prince of a friend,' Vines never theless criticized the American Da vis cup organization and leadership. Following all this Vines wired prentice that he was "terribly upset over such a falsehood" and expressed wonderment over "how such state ments started."

STANFORD FACES SEVERE TEST IN TILT WITH UCLA Game Will Be Main Event On Week-End Grid Card Oregon Plays Gonzaga 0. S. C. Meets Montana TO GET PLAN FOR SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29. (AP) Two newly appointed head coaches will start to run the gauntlet of Pa cific coast conference football tomor row and one of them, at least, ex pects to find the going a bit tough. C. E. "Tiny" Thornhllt, long under study to Glenn S. "Pop" Warner at Stanford university, but now head man in his own right on the Cardinal farm, will send his men to battle against the up-and-coming Bruins of the University of California at Los Angeles In the standout contest of the week-end. OSC vs. Montana. Lon Stlner. successor to Paul Schlss ler at Oregon State College, will make his conference debut In somewhat less strenuous fashion as he pits his eleven against that of the University of Montana In a game at Corvallls. Thornhtll admittedly faoes ft stiff task In attempting to subdue U. O. I. A., the very much grown up "baby brother" of the conference. Making the most of stellar backs and ends, the Card coach has drilled his players In an aerial attack with which he hopes to prevent a repetition of the upset 13 to 6 victory the Bruins scored last year." Huskies vs. Vandals. Tomorrow's third conference game pits Jimmy Phelan's University of Washington Huskies against the plucky Vandals of the University of Idaho. Although always a threat, the Vandals are given only an outside chance to upset a Washington team reputed potentially the strongest In recent history. Coach Howard Jones' Trojans of the University of Southern California will try out their football weapons on little Loyola University the same which held the men of Troy to a single touchdown last year. Here again the chance of an upset to the long-unbeaten conference champions la considered of the slightest. The game will be played at Los Angeles. Oregon vs. Cionztiga. The University of Oregon takes on a somewhat sflffer assignment In the Bulldogs of Gonzaga at Spokane. The Gonzagans were defeated, 13 to 0 by Washington last Saturday, but proved stuoDorn opponents. At Pullman, Washington State Col lege Is expected to have little trouble with the College of Puget Bound. The University of California likewise looks to a quiet, although extended, Satur day afternoon, engaging the Call- iornia Aggies and the University of Nevada in a doubleheader at Berkeley. By lirGH 8. FlIXERTON, JR. (Associated Press Sports Writer) The "tune-up" games for the world series are meaningless affairs, but It's interesting to note that of the four prospective world series starting pitch ers who have gone through the mo tions of preparing for the big fray, Carl Hubbell alone has had any suc cess. - ' The Giants' star southpaw came through his trial brilliantly Wednes day. The same afternoon his team mate, Hal Schumacher, took a trim ming and yesterday two of Washing ton's mound mainstays, Wally Stew art and Al Crowder, were pasted al) around the lot by the New York Yankees. Both 8tewart and Crowder suffered costly streaks of wlldness. The for mer was the victim of a seven-run uprising by the Yanks In the first 1 inning; and only the power of the Senatorial sluggers kept Washington in the running long enough to lose by an 11 to 9 count. Babe Ruth hit bis 32 nd homer of the year. Jlmmle Foxx delivered two doubles to bring his year's total up to 300 hits, but the Boston Red Sox came through with a pair of two run rallies to beat the Philadelphia Athletics. 4 to 3, In the only other American league game of the day. The Boston Braves, striving for a first division berth in the National league, pulled up closer to the St. Louis Cardinals by defeating Brook lyn's Dodgers, 6 to 4, In the first game of a double-header.
