With perfect weather conditions
prevailing, and playing on a mag
nificent field, the Medford high TI
gera clawed their way to a ia-to-14
win over a tricky Eureka high school
eleven last Saturday night In Eu
reka before a crowd of aome two
thouaand persona.
No one man on either team could
be given credit for any outstanding
performance, for they were all out
standing. The Medford team was
one complete machine geared for vic
tory. Nothing but bad breaka and
the fierce fighting of the Eurekans
could atop the Tlgera.
Bill Batea played j a whale of a
game at fullback.
It haa been many a moon alnce
two prep elevens have displayed auch
vigorous and well generated running
and air attacks. It was stated by
many of the fans ot that aectlon that
the Medford offenae ' on line plays
clicked In comparison with that of
an average college team and thae
aeronautical attack oy the Eurekans
waa something to marvel at.
Tigers On Offense
Led by "Leaping Leo" Ghelardl,
midget quarter, the Tigers kept the
Loggera pretty well on the defense
throughout the game except for tlie
fourth and last part of the second
! quarter.
Don Steuart gave an excellent ac
: count of himself at the center posi
tion. He passed the pigskin back
100 per cent perfect and charged
j through the Eureka line time and
I again. He blocked a Eureka punt
that started Medford on the march
' for their aecond touchdown.
Medford started march for the
Eureka goal line at the opening kick
off. The Tlgsri toog the oval on a
mtui of Una olava through tackle
for consistent gains. Bill Bates car
rying the ball. But they were soon
halted when they approached scor
ing territory. Eureka took the ball
and brought It back to mldfleld.
Medford again took the ball and
marched down to Eureka a two-yard
line, where Ghelardl on an off-tackle
play roomed like a bullet through
the line for the flrat touchdown.
Brown, on an attempted place kick,
failed to convert.
Eureka Takes to Air
In the aecond quarter the Loggers
were forced to punt three tlmea to
Medford'a once. In the laat two min
utes of the second quarter, Eureka
opened up with a passing attack that
could be matched with that of any
collcgo eleven and flew to a touch
down and on a double fake reverse,
or aomethlng like that, went over for
the extra point. At this point the
fans couldn't hold themselves any
longer. They went wild with excite
ment. Aa the Eurekans were on an
other march to ti.e goal line the
whistle sounded, ending the half.
The klckoff of the aecond half
marked the continuance of anybody's
ball game. Eureka had outpassed the
Tigers but the Medford boys gave a
better account of themselves on lino
plunging. Medford halted for a tlmo
the victory cry of the Loggera by
smashing their way to two touchdowns
In quick successions tn the third
quarter.
Eureka flcorea Second
However, In the fourth quarter, the
Eurekans aeemed to take the ag
gressive side of the question. On a
thrilling passing attack, the Loggers
tore down the field for their second
touchdown and another double fake
reverse scored the conversion. Tho
quarter was still early with only three
mlnutss gone. Medford elected to
kick and Eureka started another pass
lng attack that waa cut short by
Brown, who Intercepted a pass that,
If completed, would have spelled de
feat for Medford. But this wasn't
the end of the football game by any
meana, for the heady little Ohelardl
called for a pass on the aecond pley.
It waa Intercepted by Ball of the Eu
reka team and. with the aid of three
of his own team, started on a race
for the goal Una. Ohelardl showed
them he waa a defensive man as well
as an offensive man by getting tan
gled In the feet of the Interference
men and halting the whole affair.
Medford took the ball after the Log-
gars' fumble and punted. Eureka
had possession of the ball when the
game ended.
The boys have declared thla tha
opening drive for trie state champion,
ship. Marahfleld la the next opponent.

yesterday at Gllmore stadium before

Santa Clara's touchdown came on
the first play of the second quarter
when Joe (Salty) Saltino salted away
the game by circling left end from
tho four inch line. Then with only
one minute to play Bob Boashardt
completed the Bronco's scoring with a
field goal from the 23 yard line.
Broncos and Lions had nothing to
do with the day's most sensational
run. An unidentified boy caught the
ball outside the fence after Boss
hardt's goal' kick, pivoted and dashed
down Beverly boulevard with a crowd
after him.
He outdistanced all tmrsuers and
forced officials to hold up the last
minute of play ten minutes while
they obtained a new ball.

tlrement since he resigned as premier
in 1023, Polncare had Just been re
elected to a departmental council
seat after a spectacular physical
comeback. Doctors two years ago gave
him up for lest.
"Just Worn Out"
"He was Just worn out," they said
today.
Pol nc are's last written words con
stituted a newspaper article he had
dictated about Barthou. He worked
until the last seeking to finish his
memoirs.

Aa former president of the repub
lic, as "savior of the franc" and as
the man who. with Oeorges Clemen
cenu, waa voted by parliament aa
"deserved well of his country," he
would be entitled to the highest hon
ors the government could give.
Lust of War Chiefs
Polncare was the last of Prance's
four great war chiefs, Foch, Joffre
and Clemenceau are gone. Of the
school of noted statesmen that were
his contemporaries, which Included j
Vlvlsnl, Biland, and Cnlltaux. there 1
remain only Mlllerand, Doumergue i
and Calllaux. i
Friends and political opponents :
alike speak of Polncare as "the last
of the great men," some adding
where will France find new ones?"
Former Premier Andre Tardieu, one
of the first to come to the home
when the news was known, said he
"lound him with the face of ten
years ago, the calm, reflective visage
of the true chief of state. There was
no tenseness, only sereneness."
Tardieu, as a brilliant collaborator
of Clemenceau, was Polncare's bitter
political enemy but nevertheless be
came hla firm friend and often saw
him.
Tnrdleu new better, perhaps, than
any oth' how the two big World war
staterr..-.i Jolncnre and Clemenceau
put ac!;jt their great dislike, even
hatred, for each other for the good
of the country.
A laMonate Patriot
It was Polncare as president In the
dark hours of 1017 who called "the
Tiger" to the premiership. It was
probably the hardest thing Polncsre
ever did and It wss equally difficult
for Clemenceau to accept, but they
worked together to save Francs, which
Clemenceau said he "loved like
woman" sharing with Polncare that
passionate patriotism that markeo
both their lives.
