Apply in person to BUI Bowerman, football coach, Med ford high school, any afternoon. That's the kind of ad Bowerman saya he'd run if he thought he could get any results. A diligent search Into the health records of the high school haa failed to aroue any hopes In the Bowerman breast along tnose lines, however, he admitted yester day. While he needs a pair of brawny tackles, that's not his only worry. He also needs a center or two, at least one end. a guard (or two), a big full back, and a lot of prayers. He al ready has a nice-stepping aet of "pony" backflcld men, including Ray Lewis at full, Koswo Maruyama and Bob Ettlnger at hnlvea. and Joe Den- man, a transfer from St. Mary s hlgn school, at quarter. AH 8 inn 11 Lads But what will happen to that bunch In case one of them gets hurt? And not a single one of the bunch weighs over 160 pounds, most of them not that. In Bob Smith, who will be back In Medford in a few weeks to report for practice. Bowerman haa one fairly large mnn. Smith transferred to Franklin high in Portland last e m ester, but la eligible to play here this year because his fnmlly still re Ulna legal residence here. Whether Smith will be used at half or full, Bowerman is not yet ready to say, but admits that the big southpaw will probably find a place somewhere on the club. In the line, only one veteran will be back Kunzman at end. Hunts man started hla high school career at hnlfback, but was shifted to end last year and showed remarkable promlM. Another veteran, but not a first-string man. Is Dickinson at guard, whose stocky figure and blond locks were familiar in several differ ent positions last year. He will prob ably get a crack at running guard this year. The rest of the line Is still pretty hazy. Kraley hns been working at center lor several days, and Stocks and aeveral other aspiring linemen have been appearing regularly to get the experience, and have a Jump on the others when the season starts. Have Dnllr Workout In pre -se it son anticipation of a tough year nheod, Bowerman Is work ing out his men at the high school grounds every night, getting them In shape. "Of course, some of them are still too bifsy with their girl friends to drop out for practice," the coach admitted, but added, with a glint In hla eye. "we'll get 'cm over that be fore lonn." Ed Kirtley, who will serve under Bowerman as backflcld coach, arrived in the city during the week ready to start work. The two are busy this week rounding up matcrlitl and see ing that the boys are at lenst famil iar with the Bowerman system before the start of the regular season. The system used by Boweriusn em ploys the best feature of the Notre Dame and Warner systems, with a dash of Michigan and Tulane thrown In. He haa devised a system whereby he can shift his men into four dis tinct positions from the "T" forma tion from whlfh the Notre Dame shift starts. Fundamentals, he says, serve as the keynote which he will stress mostly, with blocking, tnrkllng, handling the ball and familiarity with the signals Important. "We're going to have an offense before we start fooling around with defense stuff," the conch said. He pointed out that he subscribed to the theory that a team can't make touchdowns by defemivo measures. I'd rrnctlce Field Asked if the tenm would be able 1 to play on the new turf field at the I school, Bowerman sntd that he doubt ed It. The grass has not yet been ! sown, and If any games are to be 1 played there It will have to be the last one or two, with the probability strongly against even that. In order not to trample the new grass, a practice field Is being pre pared this week directly behind the school building. This has already been leveled, and It will be prepared to receive a sawdust mat within a few days. Games will be played at Van Scoyoo field. With only about a month left be fore the start of the reRulnr school season, the new coach Is busy in get ting the equipment in shape. A checking of hendgears, pads, shoes and Jerseys Is under wsy, and It is probable that not much new equip ment will have to be purchased. WRESTLING Ily Ihe AsMchitrd Pre TORONTO, Ont.

WAIT OFFERS FOR BAER LOUIS BOUT OHICAOO, Au. 9. &) Promoter Mtke Jacobs turned auctioneer to day for a ten-day stand with one of the greatest fight card naturals elnce the era of the million dollar gates under his hammer. Jacobs' prize article on the block was the Max Boer -Joe Lout light, to be held September 28 or 27. The bid ding was lively with sportsmen and promoter from New York and Chi cago avowedly out to bring the fight to their city. New York, represented by the Twentieth Century club, was a slight favorite, although Chicago, led by the Sporting club of Illinois, a new organization headed by several mil lionaires, still had a big chance. Jacobs said money would do the talk ing and that he would not accept either bid for ten days. "The club making the best offer will be given the match," Jacobs said. WESTERN OREGON NET PORTLAND. Aug.

HI a- - -, turns, i LOUIS HAS IKING OF RING CHAMPION WISEACRES AGREE Brown Bomber's Record Stands Out In Heavy weight Ranks Bout With Baer Called Natural By ALAN OOULD (Associated Preaa Sports Editor.) KBW YORK, Aug. There no longer can be the faintest doubt in the minds of the fistic followers that Joe Louis "haa It," meaning that he ha the punch and the all-around ring qualification to become the next world's heavyweight champion if and when he gets the chance. Solely on his record, the brown bomber la an absolute standout In the heavyweight rang. He la the hardest hitter since Jack Dempsey, and apparently e. better finisher. Baer Bout Keystone. If Louis dispose of Max Baer In a match virtually certain to take place in New York's Polo Grounds on September 2a, there will remain not the alglhteet question a to the log ical challenger for the crown pluck ed from Boer's erratic locks by James J. Braddock. Just now. when and where Brad dock and Louis might be brought to gether for the first mixed title fight since Jess Willard knocked out Jack Johnson at Havana 20 years ago, re mains a subject for the ballyhoo birds to warble about. Braddock Is under contract to Mad lson Square Garden. Louts Is tied up with the Mike Jacobs-Twentieth Century-Milk Fund combination, mil Beat Uaer. The consensua among fight expert Is that Louis will beat Baer deci sively, whether or not the California regain something approaching the form that carried him to the top. The feeling la that Baer, a rugged but wild Awlnger at best, la made to or der for the brown bomber's short range fire. It's the logical match, by far the best drawing card boxing ha had In prospect since the golden era, and the one remaining chance to give Louis a real test this year. It can draw a "gate" of close to (750.000. Everyone, including Boer himself, knows the clowning California!, con "take it." During most of his ring career Baer has adopted the old Dempaey practice "take two to land one' on the theory that a aolld crack on the chin always would prove more effective than two Jars on the noe. Max Is the kind of a fighter likely to prove most dangerou when hurt. Never Knocked Down. So far "Jarring Joe" has not had to worry about being In a tough spot. , He hasn't had the experience of get ting up off the floor, like Gene Tun nay, to pull a battle out of the tire. His opponents have been too busy trying to weather the explosive at tack of the brown bomber to do much on thetr own account. But there's no doubt Louis knows the defensive tricks of the game of how to box. For all hi rise has been meteoric, hla fistic schooling ha been pal n taking and thorough.

Order it at your favorite resetaurant or confectioner Phone Snider Dairy & "We lead Sport SLANTS hxj Pao' The proapect of another meeting between Mrs. Helen Will Moody and Miss Helen Jacob In the national championships so completely over hadow all else that no one le giv ing a though to the possibility of a dark horse stealing the show. And yet that possibility does exist In the form of the raven-haired Mis Caro lln Babcock of Los Angeles. It was Miss Babcock who scored a sensational triumph over Miss Jacobs In straight sets, 6-4 and 0-3. in the Seabrlght final last year. The same young lady recently ap peared for the 46th annual competi tion of the Seabrlght Lawn Tennis uxd Cricket club vastly Improved In condition and with a year's experi ence added. Several pounds lighter in weight, she attributes her generally Improved physical condition to the fact that ahe ha had four trouble some wisdom teeth removed. The loss of the wisdom teeth hard ly has anything to do with it, but Mis B&bcock has smartened up her game considerably. She Is concen trating on steadiness tht year In contrast to her ehance-takfng play of the past, which caused her to toss away many a golden opportunity. She foolishly threw away her match against Miss Jacobs In the nationals at Forest Hills last summer when she dropped a straight-set decision to the defending champion. This year 1 a new chapter. Finds New Confidence. With her new found "fighting trim" Mis Babcock has developed a confidence that was lacking In the past. Her game never reached the height her ability warranted, only because she lacked the confidence that makes champions. Having freed herself of the old inferiority complex she refuses to believe that a victory at Forest Hills Is beyond hope. A Carolln Bibcock In that frame of mind 1 likely to step In and spoil the best-laid plans for a return meet-. Ing between the two Helens when the women's singles championship Is being decided at Forest Hills. Miss Babcock hopes to use the east ern tournaments as a means of whip ping herself up to the very peak of her game by the time the big test comes along. Her game needs con siderable adjusting to the grass courts after a season on the hard court of California. That having been accomplished, the Los Angeles miss promises to make It mighty in teresting for any opponent who faces her across the nets. W hy Parker Stayed Home. Frankle Parker was most anxious to accompany his teammates of the LawrencevlUe achool on their tennis invasion of England, but decided to forego the trip because he was afraid hla presence on the squad mljht leave him open to adverse criticism, since he had refused to accompany the Davla cup squad abroad because he did not want to let tennis Inter fere with his schooling. A a matter of fact the Lawrence vlUe team did not leave for England until after the semester was com pleted and that was several weeks after the Davis cruppers were ou the European scene of action, but Just the same Frankle was taking no chances, and decided to stay here and keep the home fires burning. He'll most likely pick up several of the most prized trophies tj make up for the loss he suffered In passing up the trip with his classmates. 203 Produce Co. Others follow" BELGASTRO PINS LETHERS TWICE IN RAPID ORDER It took Pete Belcastro, coast Junior heavyweight champion, only seven and five minutes respectively to win the first and third falls from long legged Sam Let hers of Texas in last night's headline wrestling match at the Armory. Sad Sam, who declared when he returned to Medford that he would defeat all the grap piers In the neigh borhood, broke hla winning streak on this, hi third chance, but he may get another try at the fiery Italian, and also at the silver and gold title belt which last night Belcastro re fused to defend. Pete announced, after winning from Lethers, that he will be willing to stake his championship in a match with the winner of a three-bout tour nament, which Promoter Llllard Is considering. Last night Belcastro looked like a champion only when he was taking the falls. The rest of the time he was either being kept busy by Sad Sam's clever leg work or pleading with Referee Ray FrUble to do some thing about It. Lethers, displaying more agility than usual, took the middle tumble In five minutea with a backward body scissors. Colorful Al Karaslck of Russia fur nished the fireworks In the last match of the evening when he used a body slam to take the deciding fall in three minute from limber lies Wolfe of Texas, who had tumbled over the ropes and injured his back a few seconds before. Wolfe made his mistake early In the match by teasing the stocky Rus sian and, although Awful Al lost the first fall In 12 minutes via the Tex an's spectacular bottom-up rolling scissors, he was seeing red when the gong started the second session. Karaslck applied an old-fashioned bear hug on the lean southerner and. after squeezing out all his breath, smacked him on the canvas with an other body slam to take the middle fall In 10 minutes. Floyd Wolfgang, speedy mechanic, and Curly Woods, former middle weight champion of the coast, wrest led to a draw in the 20-minute open er. This match provided plenty of action, and both contestants Jumped around the ring so furiously attempt ing to apply leg holds that at the end they were practically out on their feet. The promoter announced that chal lenges were Issued by Bob (Marine) Kennaston and a newcomer.
