The football season will open In

Senior high school squad playing
. Weed (Cal.) high school. The Weed
squad Is rated the strangest in north
ern California, and a week ago held
the Klamath Falls team to a 13 to 0
score. The visitors are apt to prove
anything but a set-up for the green
and Inexperienced Burghermlestera
Coach Burgher has had his pro
teges drilling hard for the past two
weeks, since school opened, in prep
aration for the game .and the lack of
more time for practice will be a
handicap.
Tommy White at quarterback, will
call signals for the locals.
Hammack or Stewart will start at
center.
The game will be played on the
Junior high school field, and will
start at 3 o'clock.
The Weed team Is scheduled to ar
rive here shortly before noon.
One of the largest opening day
game crowds in several seaso nls ex
pected to see th egame.
The Medford team this season, with
several veterans left, has a heavy line
and a fast back field.
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. It's sn
eld Medford oustom.

Vines Crawfish Attempt
Shown by Investigation
Of Tennis Interviewers
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. (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."

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.

(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. An excit
ing afterpiece wound up In a 3-3 tie
when darkness halted the proceedings
at the end of the tenth.

take matters Into their own hands."
Ray W. QUI. state grange master,

little."
The committee discarded a pro
posal for a capital levy of two per
