Klein the Tailor. (By Dick Applegate.) Two hundred and . twenty-five pounda of football player dropped off the Medford high school squad lat night, aa a direct result of not being able to "take It" in the hard going The poundage represents no one play er, however, but an average of five pounda per man for the entire squad. Superfluous flesh, acquired during the summer, was sweated off in a two- hour drill, the players ahowlng more of an inclination to work than waa In evidence the first night. Last night the squad Increased to 45 mem bera, a gain of 10 over the previous evening, although several of the play. era expected to report have not done so. By the end of the week the out fit should be complete. Further hardships were encounter- ed with the new style ball. In spite ofiwhlch the punting was beginning to show Improvement. Coaches Bur gher and Kir t ley believe that the new ball la harder to anag at the receiving end of a pasa, but will be easier to throw. Ends HJnman and Pierce seemed to be having no great diffi culty in receiving .however. In the paaslng practice, Brown and Dicker- son both showed ball hawking in stinct, and were knocking down ene my tosses regularly. Bob Smith again shone on the passing end. The eyes of the coaches are hope fully glued, upon any of the new backfleld men who are apt to be able to kick or block, with nothing phenomenal putting in an appear ance so far. Most of the team's weaknesses are expected in that di vision, with some trouble at the pivot post. Scrimmage la to start some time next week, and it is then that de fects and strength will begin to be come apparent. 4 Scores Yesterday Coast League At Hollywood 7. Portland 8.
