Burgher Faced With Prob lem of Forming New Backfield Squad Loses Many Stars by Graduation Forty-five young men, eome husky, tome not o hunky, reported for aprlng football practice at tin senior high rhool lat nlitht. with many lost through graduation, only a scattering from laBt year"a .quad waa on hand. Kindred, punting turtle waa out to help Coach Burgher with th line work. Kindred will not be back next year. Ohelardl. Bill Bntea, Rum Brown and Blondy Lewis aro gone and Bur gher la confronted with the difficulty of moulding a whole new backfield. With Hlnman gona from the end poat, Owen Bates. from tackle. Baker from guard and Steuart from cen ter, the return percentage at the line doesn't look so good cither. cKlth Estes, man-eating tackle. will probably be back for next season, but so far haa not reported for the spring drill.

Ettlnger. lanky basketball center, reported for - duty, and will have the edge on the others for the pivot position. One bright flicker In the backfield aa dimmed when Smith, one of the most promising backs on last sea son's eleven, reported that he was moving to Portland the end of the week. He will enter Franklin high school, coached by Billy Bowerman. on MondBy. Hla loss will be felt by the squad. A oever runner, and a Tlclous one, Smith was also one of the most deadly passing threats on the squad. A clever runner, and a hand throw that many times pulled hla team out of a bad situation. Other bright flickers In the back field aetup, however, are Ray Lewis, who may get the nod at either the quarter or half-back poat, and Maru, a shitty, broken field man, though mall. Bayllss, out temporarily, will be back, possibly at half-back. Bay llss Is an exceptional blocker, and tosses long, accurate passes. With Smith gone, It looks as though Bur gher will have to sit tip long hours over the full-back post, with very few prospects In sight. Two possibilities. Estes and Dickinson, will probably have to be overlooked because of the danger of weakening the line. No hard work was Indulged In laat right, other than limbering up ex ercises. Most of the drill was de voted to ahort-passlng practice, fun damentals of stance, and wind prints. Kindred, with a class of about four or five, waa unllmberlng omeoa his long, twisting punts, with his pupils doing well enough for the first day out, but none of them threatening to come within 10 or IS yards of the "Siege dun's" efforts. The practice was held In gym uni forms, but Burgher Intends to break out the heavy equipment in a week or ten daya, and some scrimmage will be held, the coach said last night. 1 AT ARMORY TONIGHT There will be no wrestling matches at the armory tonight, due to the fact that Promoter Mark LI Hard was un able to line up Rood talent. He U ntRotlntlns with aeveral big time wrestlers for the next card, how ever, and hopes to present a triple deck program Instead of a double malnt event as he has for aeveral months past. i:nrr.l.l.liiTi,iti jrwRditla - T H 1 aroRTiNa i NEH RFC ord noon J tat Off lb Pttttl Bilra. rf.

The transfer was necessitated by the moving of the Smith family to Portland. Smith will leave tomorrow and will start spring football on Mon day under the tutelage of Bill Bower- man, former Medford high star and Oregon quarterback. Smith will be eligible for one se mester, or one senson, of foot b nil at Franklin, but will not be eligible for basketball. After his graduation next January he expects to attend Santa Clara to turn out for spring football. Smith haa been a shining light on any team on which ha played. He was the sparkplug for the St. Mary's teams from his entrance there until the time he left. When he came to Medford high school lnat year, he added something to athletics that waa not there before. He haa always put everything Into what he has done and ta an example of good sportsman ship, and a reni fellow. JAPS UNEfDSEO BY GRIDJAM TOKYO.

Ar rangements have been made for a game tonight at the high school gym and months of verbal bickering as to the respective merits of the squada will come to a close in what proml&ea to be one of the bloodiest affairs of the season. The Saints are rated the strongest five by most of the rail-birds, but the "Champions' followers will grant no grounda for auch specula tion, and have atrong claims that they will win In a walk. Placing their confidence In off tackle and center rush plays, the Brown outfit has proven one of the most colorful teams In the independ ent league and mowed down most of their aeason opponents by alarming scores and fearful carnage, with Keith Estes, 190 pounds of football tackle, at forward, moat of the "cruncher" plays center there, but Pierce. 180-pound football end, at the other forward gives the team ver satility In lta power plays. Steuart, center on laat year's high school championship football team, at the Jumping post, another 175 pounds goes Into the scales, and hla Jaunts around end have accounted for more than one bloody nose In the many games played on the boards this aea son. The smalleat man on the "Cham I plona' " team la "Leaping" Leo Ohe- larai, quarteroacK football flash, who strangely enough holds down a guard booth on the squad. His adroit foot work is not wasted there, however, his "spinner" plays having chalked up aa many baskets aa touchdowns this year. Stan Kunzman, not having had hla fill of baaketball during the regular high school season, haa algn up for this game, the last of the year for the two outfits. Kunzman was regular end on the football team, and If he docan't get killed In the melee tonight will probably play end again next year. Whle a bruising attack la of unde niable advantage In football, the All Stara shyly advance the theory that it isn't so hot in basketball, while at the eame time pointing out a few football stars from their own roster: Bud Lindley, one of the best ends ever produced on a red-and-black grid team, and Lloyd Hammock, four year letterman at the high school center position In football. Another and flash at the grid game U Dick Lewis, whose dazzling up-hill run on the Olendale field, while playing for St. Mmry'a high, left the crowd open mouthed. Yea It did. Also on the Saint aquad are Harris and Curtis, both basketball lettermen from the same school which produced the "Championa," of which Brown la proud. Bob Lewis, a dead-eye ahot on the basketball courts, rounds out the Irish attack. Even though tha two team may not have much time to play basket ball tonight, what, with prying oppo nents off each other's backs, the game should prove a wild and Inter esting one. It has been announced that. In or der to pay the expenses of the gym and the lights, to say nothing of the referee, a "chicken feed" admission will be charged, the members of both squads being broke, having spent all their money to buy sodas at a local confectionery store, over which to argue their merits by the hour.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds, aught and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the God of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and and in short you are forever floored. As I am!" Take it from Mr. Micawber, or from any one of thousands who know it for the truth, there's no friend like cash! And there's no way to be so certain of cash as to spend within your budget. BEGIN TODAY! Say to yourself so much will go for food, so much for rent, so much for fuel, so much for charity. Stick within your budget and you'll find it bountiful enough to leave you something overl One of the very best ways to budget as you go is to read the advertisements in this newspaper. Daily, as in a parade, the good values of the good stores march before you. Roast beef or chops for Sunday dinners, a special style in men's shirts, new drjpes for the living-room ... the advertisements will help you choose them all, and often at a saving!
