MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKL), OREGON", TTEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1935
ARE POLISHED FOR
ASHlii FRIDAY
Coach Achison Giving the
Youngsters Fine Founda
tion for Football Success
Sportsmanship Stressed
I i
Coach RiumII Achison, new football
mentor at the Junior high school here
after bringing hie light but fast squad
rapidly forward durinff these first
weeks of practice, la ready to hurl
them against the Ashland high school
second team at Ashland Friday. Oct.
m hn Announced today.
The past few nights Achlaon has j
been polishing ma attact wwr wi
inff htii oreen sauad wade through the
6t. Mary's high school eleven 27-0,
and again by a 20-7 score, in pracuw
games. In a recent game against the
Medford high third string. Achlaon'
lads slammed over the only touch
down of the gam with nice blocking
and running, and he now feels that
they are ready for their first real test.
Teaches Fundamentals
The new coach has made a remark
able Improvement In his squad. "My
main objective for Junior high foot
ball," he said last night, "is to give
complete training In the fundamen
tals of football. By teaching these
young players the correct way to
block, tackle, run Interference, pass
and punt they will develop more rap
Idly when they reach high school and
begin their training under Coach
Bowerman.
"I was confronted with a squad of
ry green boys at the start of the
season but they are enthusiastic and
eager to learn and 1 now feel that
they know their A-B-C'a of proper
charging positions and line plays."
Already the coach has several lads
developed to the point where It Is
obvious that they will be of benefit
en Bowcrman's squad next year. Elton
Cunningham and Winston Campbell
have shown considerable ability In
tossing the pigskin to Bob Verblck
and John Wall at ends, to form the
' passing combination upon which the
light team will lean heavily.
Fine Running Attack
The running attack of the team has
been partially successful due to some
nice blocking by Clifford Clegg at
fullback, and shifty open field run
ning by Rodney Stead. Stead has a
fleet pair of legs, and Is learning to
use them neatly In the open field.
In the center of the line, Louis
Therman and John Prentloe have
been showing some nice drive, and
aggressiveness, but the other guard
and tackle posts have been giving
Achison headaches, he admitted last
Bight. Albert Brewer and Don Mon
te 1th are working at the tackle post
bow, with Armlne Lewis at right
guard, but all three lads are green.
"I found no criticism to make con
cerning the squad's playing against
the high third team, with the boys
playing good, hard football, but the
next week they were terrible against
the St. Mary's team. In the second
(tame with that outfit. In this game
many minor Injuries appeared, fur
nishing excellent proof for my theory
that the team that charges, blocks
and tackles hard doesn't get hurt,"
Achison said.
Sportsmanship Stressed
"In reviewing my objective In
teaching fundamental football and
good sportsmanship. I'd tike to point
out that we're playing ball not only
for experience, but to win. I am a
firm believer In good sportsmanship,
and being able to take it on the chin
n we lose, but I'm not teaching my
boys to be good losers. We're going
to win If It's physically or mentally
possible", the coach emphatically
stated.
- Achison said that he was more than
agreeably i.xrprlsed at the fine equip
ment which the citizens and the
rhool board have provided the squad.
"Oood equipment cuts down Injuries"
he stated, "and I have never sen bet
ter equipment In any high school In
the state. Medford Is certainly coop
erating In turning out physically fit
young men. and we appreciate it
wholeheartedly."
He announced a tentative lineup
for Friday's game, but admitted that
he may have several changes before
game time. The tentative lineup:

ON THE FOOTBALL FRONT
EUGENE, Ore., Oct. 18-AP)
Prank ("Bud") Good In, regular toft
half, will be lost to the University
of Oregon football team for three
weeks with a chipped ankle bone.
Trainer Bill Hayward said today.
Dale LaSalle, to dancing alternate,
or little Bobby King will rte for the
position. Oood in was expected to be
ready for thai homecoming game No
vember 9 against Oregon State col
lege. "
LONO BEACH. Ca!., Oct. 18. AP)
Charles W. Paddock of sprint fame,
an alumnus of the University of
Southern California, today sounded a
warning to Coach Howard Jones that
his football teams must "begin to
show results again."
"That's his Job." said Paddock, in
the Long Beach Sun, of which he la
business manager. "If he does not do
It, then he does not deserve to remain
for an Indefinite period as head man
of what was once the thundering
herd."
He was both a fine coach and a
fine character builder. Now he seems
to be little else than a character
builder and In the latter capacity he
lacks the personality, the human
touch and the guiding hand to be
classed with such leaders as Alonzo
Stagg and the late Knue Rockne.
"Jones must change this system or
his plays or his technique. He has
the material. He has speed, brains.
CORVALLIS, Ore.. Oct. 18. (AP)
Warned that University of Southern
California was stronger than its score
against Illinois Indicated, the Oregon
State college football players entered
their final stiff practice today before
Saturday'a game with the Trojans at

near the opponents goal line wrecked
the Trojans. Line Coach Jim Dixon,
who scouted -the game .reported.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Oct. 18 (AP
Coach BUI Spauldlng had defensive
scrimmage plays mapped out for his
University of California at Los An
geles football squad today after two
afternoons of comparative rest. '
Although It was the fine punting
of Fred Punk and the field goal boot
of Ted Key after the touchdown that
made the win over Stanford possible
last Saturday, the Bruin mentor sent
his proteges through a long kicking
practice yesterday after their com-
plet layoff Monday.
BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 18 (AP)
A new backfleld luminary will shine
for California in Saturday's game
with Santa Clara If the Judgment of
Coach "Stub" Allison Is correct.
Allison announced yesterday that
Sam Chapman, who played three
quarters of the Oregon game last
week, will open at the right halfback
post In plsce of Perry Thomas. 80
mlnute star of the St. Mary's contest.
SANTA CLARA. Cal., Oct. 16. (AP)
Spotting the chief weakness In the
California football team. Coach Clip
per Smith- or Santa Clara hopes his
Bronchos will catch the Bears com
ing and going Saturday when It
comes to punting.
Smith believes Jack Sobrero's new
ly acquired kicking ability will out
distance the efforts of California's
Blower or Fowler and he counts on
Ray Kallnsky to make sizeable run
hacks of Bear punts.
passing ability, line charging and an
equal amount of football genius
on the bench with that of any other
coach in the country."
LOS ANGELES. Oct. . 16. (AP)
Coach Howard Jones of the Univer
sity of Southern California said to
day In answer to the criticism of
Charles Paddock that he is "perfectly
willing to go into a huddle with Pad
dock any time he wants to M me
something about football."
"Paddock," said Jones, "is a track
man and is simply making a lot of
statements he can't back up."

If you happen to be an ardent
reader of John Reddy's sport stuff.
John now being In Spokane writing
for Transradto and a couple of radio
news broadcasts, then your pleasure
can be doubled this week, for John
has an article In this month's Issue
of Esquire, One for the Money," ap
pearing on page 34-B.
Unfortunately, the former Medford
lad's name does not appear on the
story. It being "ghost written" for
one "Hiking Ike" Peterson, former
Gonzaga backfleld flash, now with a
professional football team. Reddy's
style Is manifest all through the arti
cle, and some of his whimsies are
easily recognized as improbable from
any other pen. The article deals
with football as played In the small
college, and the probability of a
small college star making good In
professional football as compared to
the All-Americans getting out of the
bigger activities.
BUI Morgan, also of Medford, Is
mentioned in the story, as is Stan
Kot-ka, former Oregon star, who last
year received Ail-American rating at
Minnesota. The story Is well worth
reading.
On Saturday, the Gonzaga Frosh
meet the Oregon State Rook at
Multnomah field in a game- that Is
exciting considerable Intereat in the
north. The game will be the first
for the Toy Bulldogs, who have had
the usual fate of freshmen, and have
been steadily scrimmaging the var
sity, alternating Idaho, Oregon, Ore
gon State, Washington State, and
other coaat college plays.
Says Coach McGrath of his charges:
"So far the boys look pretty good,
but X can't tell much about them
until X see them In action. The line
will be fairly heavy but the back
field will be very light. Our offen
sive will be built almost entirely on
speed and deception." .
Much of the speed and deception
will come from two Medford lads,
Dick Lewis and "Leaptn' Leo' Ghe
tardl, with Lewis slated for the start
ing halfback position. A bulletin
Just received from the school says
that Ghelardi, whose forte as every
Medford fan knows, la running the
ball back with his dizzy spins, will
see plenty of action during the game,
but will not start because of his
smallness. When the Toy Bulldogs
get In scoring territory, however,
Ghelardi will be sent In, and every
effort msde to break him into the
open for one of his scoring sprees it
the Rook goal line.
Lewis is given a sendoff In the fol
lowing manner: "Dick Lewis, another
Medford boy, will start at half. He
Is a fast, shifty type of ball carrier,
and fits Into the deceptive Gonzaga
style of play very handily. Yewls Is
a triple-threat man and will prob
ably handle most of the kicking and
passing assignments.
The Rooks will have a touch assign
ment in the Toy Bulldogs.
Ronald Baker, also of Medford, Is
still suffering from an Injured hip.
and McGrath Is leary of playing him
in this game. The weight chart sent
out indicates that Baker now strips
175 pounds, an Ideal weight for the
fast, hard blocking guards used at
Gonzaga.
Donald Lansing ajnd Vernon Hansen
of Enterprise and Gilbert Lorenzinl
of Portland are other Oregonlans who
will grace the Gonzaga lineup.
