Mose Lyman, aggressive guard, and Captain Hlbbard, both of Oregon State, tied with Qrenler of the Oilers for high scoring honors at eight plonts each. PRO FOOTBALL ACE, PAYS CITY VISIT By Dirk Applt-gate Bill Morgan Is back In town today covered with glory and remarkably few scars after having had one of the most brilliant seasons of any man In professional football, if the reports which come In from eastern football sportswrlters are to be taken as a criterion. Hailed by such critics as Lou Lit tle, of Columbia, Morjcan'a coach Steve Owen (who says that Morgan Is the greatest tackle of all time). Bport writers Joe Williams, of the New York World Telegram, Ned Irish of tht) &ime paper, Rud Rennle of the N. Y. Herald Tribune, Garry Schumaker of the N. Y. Journal and Walter Flelschor of the N. Y. Times as the outstanding tackle to ever ap pear In the Polo grounds at New York, Morgan returns without any Indication that he thinks he's good. After playing the entire season against such opponents as Detroit, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Boston. Phila delphia, Brooklyn and the Chicago Bears, Morgan still thinks that pro fessional football Is fun. He admit ted that there was as much differ ence between professional and col lege football as there was between freshman and varsity football, but thinks that the pro game Is more fun because tne opposition Is tough er, and any player has to keep his mind on the game to get by. Asked the most thrilling moment of the Inst season Morgan stated that It was probably the second touch down that his team, the N. Y. Giants scored against the Chicago Bears in the play-off for the cham pionship. That touchdown put the Giants out In front and seemed to change the entire aspect of the game for Morgan. The hardest Job he had In the entire season, he said, was get ting Into the dressing room after their victory In the same game, Morgan stated that he saw Bernle Hughes, former team-mate and now playing pro-ball for the Chicago Car dinals, play against Brooklyn, and that Hughes was easily the outstand ing man on the team. "Iron Mike" Mikulak and Bree Cupolettl, also of Oregon, were playing for the Cardin als, and both turned In remarkable games, according to Morgan. Tho Giants do not play the Cardinals, so the two Med ford men have not yet met In a professional game. Hughes j Is still playing, In the south. Morgan stated that he doubted If pro football would ever replace col- lege football to anywhere near the same degree that pro baseball has done, but he stated that It would eventually be on a par. Asked If the spirit of a- professional team was In ferior to that In the schools, he em phatically stated that It was not. On the contrary, he asserted that the pro brand 1 superior, mainly through personal pride. In that every man on the field was playing against a "big shot," and tried to get person al agrandlzement by "knocking his ears down." Open passing makes the pro game faster and more Interesting, Morgan said, and results In fewer long pass es and more short ones followed by laterals. When asked why he thought colleges did not use mire laterals, he said that they lacked the finesse and surencss that comes only li. profes sional football. In this connection he mentioned also the beautiful kick ing developed by the pro players. Ken Strong, teammate of Morgan's, and whom Morgan calls the greatest football player alive, averaged 60 yards on punts, and got away Beveral over elfjhty In the past season. Play ing In tennis shoes to afford fouling on the frozen turf In the champion ship game, Strong kicked all the opening kick-offs over the goal line, ending the game with two broken toes. Morgan cited this as an ex ample of the kind of spirit dl:iplayed on the professional teams. Morgan will be In Medford until the 11th of January, at which time the Giants are re-forming at San Pronclsco In preparation for their gome with Earnie Nevers All-Star professional club In the Knights of Columbus benefit game to be ploy ed In Keezar stadium, that city, on January 20. On January 27 the Giants meet the Chicago Bears In Los Angeles, after which the team will dlBband, unless plans now being formulated to match the team with the Chicago Cardinals In Portland the next week-end are completed. In the case of the latter Bernle Hughes and Morgan would meet for tho first time In a pro game, right in their own state. T BUTTE FALLS T0WN1ES DEFEAT JACKSONVILLE BUTTE FALLS, Dec. 39.

With ten days of prsrttr credited to experience. Coach D. K. Burgher has still an open account as for a basketball game with some outside school for this coming wek-end. Burgher announced that he has opened negotiations with northern California teams but aa yet has naa no luck In getting their "John Henry" on the dotted line. Rubs Brown, who tore a cartilage In his knee on the first night of practice, will probably not ace action any more this season due to the fact that he will be graduated on January 26. His knee will not be sufficiently healed for him to create any exercise of a great extent upon it. Although Burgher has not sched uled any games so far this season, he has been holding some very stiff scrimmage sessions. He !.as been wean inn; his younger players and has been adding know ledge to the older playera aa well as the younger players.' . Concerning the experience 'exist ent" upon the squad situated at the top of the hill Just south of Med ford. Burgher stated that his team will probably be beaten. But mem bers of the dyed-ln-the-wool fans have the thought safely buried in mind that the Medfordltes will not be beaten. As for Klamath Falls, Burgher Is silent due to the fact that his scouts are not In as close contact with them as they are with the other teams of the Southern Oregon lenifue. However, Coach Burgher promises fans of southern Oregon some real basketball for the coming week-end. A defendant has not been paneled as yet but he stated some cut standing team will be In Medford for a game or two. In looking ever the proressmentof the squad aa a whole, one can agree ably see that the boys are as "fit as a fiddle." Now that the holiday season is Just about over the boys will settle down to some even stlffer practice schedules and training rules. The first real basketball contest which will In no doubt furnish statistics for comparison In the future Is with the Klamath Fails Pelicans on January 18, on the maples of Medford high school. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29. 'AP) Bad luck continued today to hound eastern football stars In practice preparations for the annual east west charity game here New Year's day. With two star members of the cast, Duane Purvis and Pug Lund, both halfbacks, in the hospital, the re maining eastern playera were hamp ered by a steady drizzle that mini mized the workout at Berkeley. Coaches Andy Kerr and Dick Han ley sent their charges through an Indoor drill at the University of California gymnasium and finished up with an outdoor workout. The knee Injury which forced Pur vis of Purdue out of the competition several days ago and a severe cold which saw Minnesota's Lund con fined today has left the east short handed In the backfleld. Coach Kerr said Lund's confine ment was merely a precautionary measure. He will be released tomorrow. VATICAN CITY, Dec. 20.

RED-DEVIL' PETE IT Word has been received here by Promoter Mack LUlard that the win ner take all wrestling match between the Red Devil and Pete Belcastro. which was suggested by the Red Devil in a telegram from Texas, Is not looked upon too fondly by Belcastro. who wired from Sacramento that a 60-40 cut would be more satisfactory to him. No word has ben received from the masked meanle In his Texas hacienda just what be thinks of the counter proposition. There ha never been any great amount of affection wasted between the two bullies, their only meeting having been a wild and exciting rough house with nothing much barred or overlooked. In the Belcastro-Red Devil encoun ter It looked like the Red Devil's fight, after be had flopped the Ital ian in 1A minutes with an arm-bar, for the first fall, and had been giving Belcastro quite a serious thrashing. The tables turned, however, when he got out of the ring and was climbing back In. Belcastro with a wild leap kicked the Red Devil Into the third row. So that's the way It stands now. The Red Devil doesn't think that Bel castro can connect with two kicks In two fights, and want a winner take -a 11 go. Belcastra seems to re member those first few floggings on the noggin' before his kick landed on the meanle, and wants It flO-40. There are some who saw the first encounter that consider this a w-rfl-ad vised move on his part. But If the return match Is arranged it will undoubtedly be blood curdling. Autolsts Get Break PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 39. (AP) A group of Portland motorlsM found they didn't need their traffic viola tion tags "fixed" by some friend. Their cases were dismissed because the arresting officer could not ap pear against them today. He resign ed from the police force yesterday. TO THE NEW YEAR... IN OLD APPLEJACK !
