NEED OF TACKLES
New High School Mentor
Has Boys Out for Daily
Workouts Tough Year
Ahead Kirtley On Job
"Wanted : Two tacklea weighing
ovor 160 pounds. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
