Others Won nonors. In picking his All-Medford basket ball and -football teams, Callison wishes It known that many ilne ath letes were left off his selection tor the simple reason that only a certain number could be placed. And also, that these all-star teams are selected only from the Medford boys playing In the years from 1923 to 1029 In clusive. Just a word about the phenomenal record made by Prince Callison and his Medford teams during that span of years. Prink csme to Medford high In the fall of 1933 from the University of Oregon and remained until the spring of 1939 when he left to take over the freshman football team at his alma mater. . Biased Bright Grid Path. In those years, his football teams, bearing the red and black of Modtord, bland a path through Oregon high schools that will never be forgotten. In six years Medford high lost but two games; one to Oregon frwhmen and one to Salem high. "Those defeate were in 1023 and 1034 If memory serves correct and from then on until ' 193B the Tigers were undefeated. In each of those six years Medford easily won the southern Oregon champion ship and In two of those years Med ford was state champion, dofontlng Portland's boat for the title by over whelming scores. It was, without doubt, the greatest domination of high school football In the history of Oregon. , . Team Brought Thrills. Memory of those grand teams always brings the scene; a big, power ful line averaging around 186 pounds, driving hard, blocking viciously, open ing up huge holes. Light, flashing backs racing through; hlp-shtftlng and change-of-pactng for long gains. Perfect plays. One shot. One lightning like bolt and, with the way cleared, a thrilling dash to the goal line. Oslllson's teams were perfectly drilled In fundamentals. They knew how to block and tackle, and they did, amashlngly. Calllson's basketball span started In the winter of 1934 and continued until the winter and spring of 1039. Hoopitera Brspected. Two state tournament winners he cave to Medford; his first and last years, and In every yenr his Medford teams easily won the district title and went to Balem where the Tlgors were always rated one of the favorites. His basketball teams were always colorful; playing a hard driving, shoot-and-follow-ln gome at all times. They, the snme as his football teams, wore built upon a sound fundamental base.

(AP) Paci fic northwest lightweight boxers haven't been able to do anything about it yet, and they wont' at tho rate they are golrg. About two months ago Cecil Payne came to Seattle from Louisville, Ky., to test out Henry Woods, Yakima negro flash, and since then northwest battlers have failed In their efforts to send him back home. Payne last night knocked out Ernie Cavelll, Walla Walla and Portland lightweight In the second round of scheduled 10-round bout, to score his fourth victory in Seattle. He previ ously whipped Woods twice, and Al Lewis, Seattle negro, once. The Ken- tuck lan knocked CavelU down for a nine-count In the first and then fin ished the fight with a left to the chin. , . INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. (UP) Ed (Strangler) Lewis has wrestled 24 years and twice been the world champion,. but still has only one real weakness his eyes. The weakness was admitted after he had thrown Chief Ohewchki of Oklahoma in a recent match here. "This Chief Is the craziest guy I ever met," said Lewis. "I'd get a hold on him, and he'd bite, or go for my eyes." " "I don't mind the biting, but when they go for my eyes that's out. I've had trouble with my eyes and was laid up for a while on account of t them." Lewis, 42, said he wrestles five nights a week and has engaged In more than 4500 matches. "Naturally I've lost some of the zip I once had. But don't let this 'spare tire' around my middle fool you," he warned "It's been there a long time. I want it there." The soft-voiced "Strangler," who In the days when there was no time I limit on matches sometimes wrestled until 2 or 3 a. m., admitted most ath letes don't stay in the pink of condi tion long. "I'm always near the top of condi tion," he declared. "I like to show up these young bucks who think they can take old Ed. I fool around and let 'em take passes at this (he patted his middle); then I turn 'em over." "You know, I started when I was 18. "I've been champion twice, and I've seen this game progress from where we had to get down to business to this showmanship the boys use now." He estimated he has appeared be fore more than 18,000,000 people, who have, paid on an average of $1 each to see him. "There's not a man wrestling today that I'm afraid of' he concluded. t f j is NOD TO LASKY BOOED BY LOS ANGELES FANS LOS ANGELES, March 21.
