From out of the past, from that
great athletic era of 1633 until 1939
when Prince Callison was at the head
of Medford high athletlo teams, mak
ing the record that was to sky-rocket
him to the helm of University of
Oregon's varsity football squad, comes
this probably final tribute to the
boys who made that fine record pos
sible. 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.

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.
