PAGE SIS MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1933. Grid Giants of Old "Puny" Compared to Current Crop By PA UK 13 If. DAVIS Noted Football statistician ; (Written lor the Associated Press.) NEW YORK (AP) There la ft belief current that the football players of by-gone dsya were taller, heavier and more rugged than the exempiara of the preeent time. Apparently distance lenda enhancement, ae well as en chantment to the view. 0-"-u! Vow 'RfAT 016 UWOl yoW giy YOU porr? UO SUORTV KINDEPGACT6N IfcAM'D VOU PLAY vTM7 An assembly of the personal ata tlstlca of the players of the United States reveals that this belief Is not founded upon fact.. Indeed, the con-, trary Is true. The players of the pres ent are taller, heavier and probably equally as rugged aa the men of the past. Tbls characteristic of men to associate greater height and alze with the representatives of the past ran always prevailed. Forty and more years ago we point ed to Walter Hetielflnger of Yale, Ix feet, two and one-half Inches and weighing 210 pounds, as our repre sentative giant, and down the years Walter haa come aa theclasslo giant of the sport. This year there are more than 60 players taller and heavier than Walter Heffelflnger. Any discussion of the giants playing football this fall would have to begin a full half-Inch above the mark where Walter Heffelflnger left off. In short, Heffelflnger, mathemati cally today, would not even be the starting minimum, for there are more than 100 players fully as tall and heavy as he was. Slx-Thrre lust a Start. There are 35 playera on our rec ords standing six feet, three Inches, and probably half as many more not discovered. Among these are eeveral of national pre-eminence In their play: Charles B. Bernard, center of Michigan; Frank J. Butler, center of Michigan State; Barton Cummlngs, tackle of Illinois; John M. Hutchln- TODAV son, tackle of the Army; Eawara Krause, tackle of Notre Dame; Ber nard Masterson, halfback of Ne braska; Wolter Mueller, end of Cali fornia at Loa Angeles, and Peter 2a remba, tackle of Hew York University All of these men have been accorded honorable mention In All-American discussions. Fourteen men have been found who measure six feet, four Inches. Notsble among these are Mat Brasnyo, tackle of St. Mary's, and Peter Kopscss, enu of the Army. In the bracket marked six feet ana five Inches we find nine players. Standing forth among them for fame and skill are "Ted" Rosequlat, tackle of Ohio Stote, and Jack Torrance, tackle of Louisiana, weighing 276 pounds and the largest man In all footbsll. Still They Come. Now we move up another Inch to the line labelled six feet and six inches. Here we find two playera and, curiously, upon .the same team, New York University. These two men are Jim Ruddy and Stephen Shields, both tackles. The cry Is "still they come." And still we climb, on up to six feet, seven Inches. Here we find the tallest player In all football, Edward Meln bower, tackle of the University of North Dakota. He weighs 245 pounds and Is every Inch a football man, fast, lithe and athletic. For those who long to be In the society of glanta, I suggest they visit our football fields any Saturday. E General Oscar Westover, assistant chief of tha United States air corpa, Washington, D. C, and Major Asa N. Duncan, also of the chief of air corps office In Washington, were via. Itors In Med ford overnight, leaving this morning in their plane r Port land. They arrived at the local air port Thursday afternoon about 8:30 o'clock, from Crtasey field. A. H. Ban well, manager of the local Chamber of Commerce, saw General Westover walking down the street, and recognised him as a previous vis itor to Med ford with an army air fleet. With Mr. Ban well, General Westover and Major Duncan visited the CCO district headquarter here. The special session of the legisla ture scheduled to meet next Monday, after the opening speeches, and the hearing of the Governor's message, will start providing ways and means for providing Jackson county wltn two solons. This will be done by Joint resolutions, to be Introduced. The present plan Is to have the ap pointments made the first order of business and for the appointees to get to Balem and the legislative halls as soon as possible thereafter. There are five vacancies In the legislature due to death, appointment to other positions, and In one Instance an unfortunate circumstance. In Clackamas county one of the solons Is under a legal cloud. He wants to serve anywtiy, on the grounds the "Judgment has not been docketed." The Joint resolution affecting Jackson county will provide that the governor make the appointments: the other resolution will provide that the county court do the Job In counties that desire them made that way. The Jackson county court feels that the chief executive should make the se lections, so that the political pot may not boll over, by any chance. Whoever makes the appointments, and whoever are the appointees, no body Is enough of an optimist to Imagine they will please everybody. Attorney Porter J, Neff, promt nently mentioned as a Democratic choice, has announced his Inability to accept, due to several cases coming up In the federal court, while the legislature Is In session. T. E, Daniels has been urged for one of the poets, by both sides of the political fence. So far Mr. Dan iels will not hear to It. In lieu of Daniels, one wing of the local Democracy offers Attorney Frank DeSouza. Attorney E. E. Kelly Is also mentioned as an heir to the seat his son left to hold a federal post In Washington, D. C. J. P. Wortman, farmer-banker, of Phoenix, Is also mentioned. Some Republican leaders argue that because a Democrat was elected to the legislature. Is no sign a Demo crat has to be appointed to the va cancy. The Republicans have not concen trated on anybody, and the party chiefs manifest no Interest in the selection, save that he be steadfast in the Republican faith. The following have been mentioned: Fred L. Colvlg, Glenn O. Taylor, Carl MILK PRODUCERS IN FARM STRIKE SATURDAY AT 2 P. M.
