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.

PRACTICE TILTS
(By Harold Grove)
Basketball, basketball, do you
wart to play basketball? Come play
a game, let me sign your name.
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.

A compromise salary offer but

ters.

Piluao of Portland acting as their

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.
