HIGH SCHOOL 10 HAVE SUPERIOR ATHLETIC FIELD Steel Mesh Fence and Hedge to Enclose Area Turf Field Will Be Well Drained SERA Doing Work On of the most ambitious pln for an athletic field ever attempted In the state 1 being worked out by E. H. Hedrlck, superintendent of Med ford schools, and the achol board. The athletic field at the Senior high achool, grading of which la now com plete, will be without queatlon among the finest on the Pacific coaat when the plans are completed. Medford. with a achool program that has been for yeara the eny of every chool In the state, haa always lent an eye to beauty as well aa to utility In the construction of new buildings. Now that attitude la being applied to the athletic field. Plan llfrtce Fence. Not content with the ugly board fence that la an Inevitable port of every high achool football field, plana are going forward to Inatall a ateel mesh fence around the football field and track. The ateel posts, placed 10 feet part, are already In, Imbedded flrmely In concrete. To these posts a temporary board fence has been ae cured. The plan Is to plant a thorny. Impenetrable and beautiful hedge, possibly of Osage orange or haw thorns, a few feet Inside thla fence. When the hedge has grown to suffic ient height and density, the boards will be taken down and the steel mesh fence, with a guardrail; .will be Installed. The hedge will be kept trimmed and neat at all times, 'to a height of from eight to 10 feet. At present It Is planned to have this hedge only around the football field, but when It haa been proven a auoceas, as It . .cannot fall to be, the system will be continued around the entire athletic field, encompassing the baseball dia mond, the tennis courta, the volley ball and aoccer ball fields as well as the football and track department. Invrslgnte Hedges. Coach Bill Bowerman, now In Cali fornia, la Investigating the various kinds of plants suitable for the hedge desired, and Is also Inquiring Into the best kind of grass for a turf field. The present practice field will be con verted to turf aa soon as possible, according to present plana. If "he turf Is not sufficiently solid by the fall season for regular play, a saw dust practice field will be installed, and games played at VanScoyoo field A call haa been sent out for lum ter for the Immediate construction of a grandstand, with a seating capacity of 1200. Thla grandstand will be on the west side of the field, and flank ing It on each end wtll be bleRchera seating about 800 more. Since the lumber atrlke haa placed lumber In the higher price bracketa, thla phase of the development may be deferred for some time, but will probably be completed before September. Under the grandstand will be stor age rooms for athletic equipment, and dressing rooms for home and visiting teams. Room will be set aalde for ehowere. but these will not be In stalled for some time. The Incon venience of dressing in one building, and then traveling by auto to the scene of the game will be done away with entirely. lllenchers Installed. Two large bleachers hsve already been Installed at the baseball dia mond, painted grey on the outside. and a soft green to absorb the sun- ngnt on the Inside. The fine mesh screen of heavy wire that haa been oeiween me spectatora and the play Ing field haa been replaced with i sire mesh thst permits a good view. ine neia nss been graded and rolled and presenta a fine playing aurface. It Is now the plan to Inatall r. eral tennla courts on the southwest corner of the big plot.

Instead of being filled with dirt, as Is the usual custom, were filled with gravel raked off the baseball field by the SERA laborers, assuring that the field will be In good condition at all times. IIiinIiipsr Men Aid. Medford business men, advised of the plan, have been wholehearted In their support. Rawles Moore, who eug gested the use of Osage orange lr tne hedge, Is one of the men who have been helpful to Hedrlck In his plans. There are many more who have given time and consideration to completion of the program. PHILADELPHIA, June 31.

NKll. Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, June 21. (API No story of the life of Jamea J. Braddock la complete without the tale of Corn Orlffln of Georgia, who came from no where, went right back there, and left the foundation of a new heavy weight dynasty In his wake. Braddock waa working on the Jer sey docks, his fighting career appar ently behind him, when Orlffln, a heavyweight purchased from Uncle Sam'a army for $68. came north to help Prlmo Camera train for his heavyweight title defense against Max Bacr. Orlffln beat Camera so easily In workouts that he became some thing of a sensation. Two nights before the champion ship enrd Just a year ago Braddock's manager, Joe Oould, called. Tmlned One Duy "I got you a fight with a guy named Corn Muffins," he shouted. "Oet yourself right in training." Braddock quit hlo Job. trained one day. Orlffln knocked him down with a right hand in the second round I JlmIny 8ot right up and flattened Corn three times, "I never hit anybody bo hard In my life." Braddock said. Quolcl embraced him In the empty dreswlng room as Baer was tearing Camera down, winning the title he was to lose a year later to this same Braddock. "Joe, If I could do that on hash, what do you think I could do with a couple of steaks under my belt" "We'll see," yelled Gould. They cashed Jim's check for $250, and the comeback was on. Knilureri Long Walt They sat together on the hard benches , outside Jimmy Johnston's offices In Madison Square Garden for weeks, waiting, hoping for another fight. It didn't come until fall, when Braddock got a 10-round match with John Henry Lewis, crack nepro light heavyweight. Jimmy won a close one. From then on he never stopped yelling for more fights. Finally they needed someone for Art Lasky. Jimmy got the chance. So last winter, a 1-to-Vshot as usual, he methodically plastered Laaky all over the Garden ring. Jimmy paid back the $300 the gov- ernment gave him on relief out of the $4100 he got for the victory. The state Athletic commission named him foremost chnllenger whon, by another freak of luck, Max Schmcllng knock ed out the foremost challenger, Steve Hamas, and then decided not to cross the ocean for the title chance at Baer. SMI) Sume linnlclock Stevedore days had broadened, strengthened, steled Braddock for the great test. Ho went into the ring at 10 to 1, and licked tho magnificent Baer by sherr doggedness more than anything else. He's still the same Braddock. and he'd carry your golf sticks tomorrow and think nothing of It If he liked you. His debts are paid, there's a trust fund started for the youngsters. Young Jay and Howard are going to Yale, Rose Marie to Vassar. As some wag rightly remarked, they should send Baer along with Rose Marie to hold the daisy chain. Seek Power IMMrlet. SALEM, June 21.

Oregon FOR ONLY FALL CLEAN, FAST BOUT Limber-legged tea Wolfe, slithering and slipping like a Texas cyclone all over the Armory arena last night to skin out of the sturdy embraces of Joe Hubka of Nebraska time and time again, flashed a bottom-up rolling scissors after 42 minutes of wrestling to pin Hubka for the only fall of their one-hour tussle, although the husky Cornhusker outpointed Wolfe from start to finish. Old-time fans nodded their heads and said It was one of the best matches they had ever seen. Not a finger was lifted In foul play, but that didn't mean that the match lacked dynamite. On the stroke of the gong Wolfe and Hubka came out of their corners like greyhounds down the home stretch, and set a pace that kept the fans guessing which one would drop from exhaustion before the bout was over. The Nebraskan, who grinned at the way the eel-like Texan oozed out of his crunching leg-holds, started the fracas with a siege of wrist locks, working Into a spectacular Indian deathlock that looked like curtains for the supple southerner until he dived through Hubka's legs to escape Wolfe broke away occasionally for some clever footwork of his own. but he was decidedly out-wrestled and the rolling scissors that gave him the fall came as a surprise. The Cornhusker opened the second stanza with a punishing body scis tsors and soon had Wolfe gasping for breath and very nearly down, but they rolled Into the ropes and Joe lost the only chance to tie the score. Hubka was booked at 202 and Wolfe at 19 Hi pounds. Al Stecher, former middleweight champion of Canada, now a 190 pound muscler of no mean ability, who substituted for Johnny Soos of Indiana In the 45-mlnut semi-final, because of an Injury received by the middle-westerner, slapped out a two-out-of-three fall victory over Babe Smolinski, 202-pound toughy who calls Poland his native land. Stecher, who retaliated for every eye gouge and kick from the stocky Polack, proved that he was no sissy by winning the first fall in 13 min utes and the last in less than one minute via slugging and ham iocks. smollnslk took the middle Min nie in eignt minutes with an alrolane spin.

YALE CREWS WIN FIRST TWO RACES BY TINY MARGIN REGATTA COURSE, New London. Conn., June 21. (P) Yale swept both morning races of Its 73rd annual re gatta with Harvard on the Thames to day, winning the freshman race by eight feet and the Junior varsity by little more than Btx feet. So close were the two races that official timers gave the two Yale crews only a 2-5 of a second margin In each. Yale's time for the freshman race was nine minutes, 46 seconds; Har vard's, 9:46 2-5. Neither winning time challenged the course records. , It was the most exciting morning program in the history of Yale-Harvard rowing rivalry, which dates back to 1852. . The Ella captured the two-mile up stream freshman race with a mag nificent sprint finish after Harvard had led practically all the way from the starts to within a few yards of the finish line. The Junior varsity engagement, rowed over the same course, was even closer, but In this case Yale gained a lead In the first few hundred yards and held it all the way to the finish at Bartlett's Cove. It was the second successive year in which Yale captured both morn ing races. Heading the spectators was Presi dent Roosevelt, here tp watch his son Franklin, Jr., row with the beaten Harvard Junior vorsltjr - The climax of the regatta, the four mile downstream varsity brush, will be rowed at 6 p. m.
