Burgher Faced With Prob

Forty-five young men, eome husky,

football practice at tin senior high

year.

of moulding a whole new backfield.

One bright flicker In the backfield

most promising backs on last sea

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.

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

It waa announced this morning at
the office of the Medford senior high
school that Bub Smith, amaahlng
right half of the Medford co-champions,
had received a transfer to the
Franklin high school of Portland.
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.

STARS, CHAMPIONS
AGREE 10 SETTLE
With a speed phenomenal even for
basketball players, the Russ Brown
"Champions" and the St. Mary's A1I
Stara have snapped up the sugges
tion made In thta paper yesterday for
a playoff between the two vocal ehal.
lengers for the Independent bssket
bali crown for southern Oregon. 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.
The blood starts flowing promptly

"My other piece of advice, Copperfield," said Mr. Micawber,
"you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure
nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. 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!
