Badminton Champion Coming for Exhibition Matches Here Nov. 1
LOCAL CLUB SIGNS
GALAXY OF STARS
I
Jess Willard, Chester Goss,
Mrs. Barkhuff Will Be
Seen in Action Hamilton
Law Will Vie With Ace
It was announced here today by of
ficials of the Med ford Badminton
club, that they have secured the serv
ices of Jess Willard, U. 8. professional
badminton champion, to make a per
sonal appearance In an exhibition
game in Medford. The local club has
been working on the project for
weeks, but Willard has not been
available.
A wire received today Indicates that
he will be able to appear here on
Friday, November 1, and he will bring
Cheater Goas, one of the most pro
mising younger players In Los Ang
eles, with him. Members of the Bad
minton club have also secured the
services of Mrs. Del Barkhuff of
Seattle, singles champion of the city
of Seattle, the state of Washington,
r.nd the state of California. An ef
fort is now being made to bring Miss
Doreen Swayno of Vancouver, B. C,
, ranking Canadian star, to the city
for the big exhibition.
At IIIrIi School Gym
The exhibition will be held In the
high school gymnasium, and It will
be open to the public. Members of
the Badminton club are jubilant over
their success In getting Willard to
appear. He was In Mod ford early In
the summer, but being on vacation
could not be persuaded to play.
Willard has never been defeoted by
an amateur, nor has he dropped a
practice game except to Hamilton
Law of Medford, Paclfio coast tltlelst,
who will appear against him In the
exhibition here. The champion Is a
self-made player, having developed
the Boston Badminton club. He has
an uncanny power of diagnosing an
opponents -playing, and varies his at
tack from a vicious, driving game to
soft lobs and beautiful placements,
throwing his enemies completely off
balance.
Most of Willard '8 badminton activ
ity has .centered in the east, until I
two years ago when he took up rest- j
deuce in Hollywood. He now has one
pt the largest clubs on the coast,
with many screen stars as his pupils.
Among his movie proteges are Dick
Powell, Glcnda Parrel 1, Mary Brian,
Joan Blondell. and Prank Borzage, 1
tho dtrector.
Former Wrestler
He has made one picture himself,
named "Oood Badminton." Formerly
a wrestler, Wllltard has a beautiful,
lithe build, and Is as quick as a cat 1
on his feet, one of the faculties that
made him world champion.
Law has studied under. Willard,
and gives much of the credit for his
own flashy game to the champion.
Nov the student will challenge the
master, and will attempt to give
Willard a licking In the exhibition.
The tentative arrangement of the
matches finds Mrs. Barkhuff paired
against Miss Swayno In the opening
ladles singles, with Barkhuff pairing
with Law, and Swayno with Willard
In the mixed doubles. The final
match, end probably the fastest, will
be the feature battle between Law
and Willard.
On his previous trip to Medford.
WUIard admitted that he had been
pushed harder by Law In practice
games than evor before In his life,
and stated then that when the time
came when he could no longer retain
his title, ho would like to see It go
to Law. Law, howover, Is not In line
for the honor, being an amateur. Ho
will retain his amateur status In the
exhibition here, although plnylng
gainst a professional,
Mrdfonl Club Ahead
Medford has come rapidly to the
fore In badminton circles on the
coast, and Is considered one of the
best clubs. Tho matches on Novem
ber 1 will be followed, in all prob
ability, by many more feature
matches, showing stars from the
north and the south as they travel
through the city en route to the Cal
ifornia, or the Washington and Brit
ish Columbia tournaments.

MEDFORD, SALEM
WILL RENEW OLD
Game Saturday Will Be One
of Hardest Fought of
Season Injuries Beset
Coach Bowerman's Crew
When the Medford Tigers meet the
Salem Vikings on Van Beoyoc field
here Saturday afternoon, they will
renew a rivalry famous for its fierce
ness -and still its friendliness. The
two schools have not played for sev
eral years, but the Medford-salem
game was at one time one of the best
drawing cards here, with always
close, hard-fought contest.
The Black Tornado will enter the
fray seriously handicapped by In
juries. The same report was Issued
last week, but this time the report Is
better grounded, with no right tackle
left Intact. Blair, regular at the post,
is suffering from a rib Injury, but
will probably start. Although it Is
doubtful If he will be able to last
an entire game. Offard, understudy
to Blair and pressing him hard for
the past several days for the nod
on the starting lineup, is definitely
out for at least a week with a bad
bone bruise on his shin. He Is con-
fined to his home, and is being kept
in bed.
Coach Bowerm&n Is grooming Blsh
op, a stocky leu-pounder, to 1111
Blair's and O fiord's shoes. Bisnop
has hsd no previous experience, but
apparently has a lot of potential
strength, If he finds his stride. The
loss of Blair and Offord will be keen
ly felt. Offard played a slashing,
bruising game against Marshfleld last
week, and was Just developing Into
a powerful line blocker when the in
jury came.
TVind, who was working in niceiy as
running guard and defensive full
back, last night received a leg injury
that may keep him from playing
against .Salem. Other Injuries along
the line are of more or less serious
nature, end the team will ee far from
physically fit at the starting gun.
With several players laid up. Coach
Bowerman last night announced that
be would ease up on offensive scrim
mage for the rest of the week, con
centrating on n aerial attack to
throw against the Vikings. The Tor
nado blew Itself out on passes last
week, connecting with only one for
ward toss. Their laterals were click
ing nicely, and will be stressed Sat
urday. Reports from Salem Indicate that
the squad has two Of the fastest ends
ever to play for the capital city
eleven. The team Is long on passes,
but the passes themselves are not
long, apparently, all their gains be
ing short.- Reports show that the i
ends axe fast enough to cover the
long heaves, but the becks are In
capable of putting them out for any
great distance. To overcome that oh.
stacle, Coach Hollls Huntington Is
polishing a new man who, according
to the same reports, Is the beat passer
and kicker on the squad, even though
he has been In uniform only a week.'
A large crowd Is anticipated for the
game, which is expected to be one of
the best of the current season. The
Salem team has a flaahy type of of
fense that Is Interesting to watch,
while thoae who sow the Tigers in
their two previous games are unani
mous In their opinion that the Med
ford outfit Is the smoothest, clever
est, and best coached team to appear
under red and black colors here In
years.

When the Black Tornado of Med
ford blows against the reputedly
strong Salem team at Van Scoyoc
field here Saturday, It will mark the
return of a fierce, but friendly, ri
valry that has been abandoned for
the past few years.
The last game between the locals
and the Vikings was In 1930, when
the Tornado eked out a 13-13 tie,
also on Van Scoyoc field. That was
the first year that Darwin Burgher
coached the Medford team. The locals
entered the game heavy favorites to
take a sound drubbing, but man
aged to squeeze out a tie. They also
managed to squeeze "Nooks" Naumes.
playing a great game at substitute
fullback In place of "Dutch" Zum
brunn, over the goal line, but tho
referee was looking the other way.
and the score stayed tied.
The teams have not played since.
which is a pity, for the game has
always been an Interesting one, gen
erally one of the best on the local
books, both from a financial and
from a sporting standpoint. The
Tigers this year need financial sup
port, attendance at the first game,
with Marshfleld last week, having
been woefully lacking.
Don't be surprised If the Tigers
come onto the field decked In the
yellow and black Jerseys of the
Junior high school. That was the
way they were attired last time the
Salem team also having red and
black as a color motif, and the two
uniforms looked so much alike that
It was dangerous on passes. Ol
course, once the Vikings get here
with their own Jerseys. It la too late
to send them back after others, so
the locals do the quick change act
These clear, cold mornings seem
to be Ideally suited to the sports
man, no matter with what 111 favor
they are looked upon by kids going
to school . with beet-red nose.
Whether It be fishing, deer hunting,
upland bird or duck hunting, the
clear air Is fine for the purpose.
Fishing in the Rogue Is as good
It has been all year, which is
better than usual, and It Is ex
pected to Improve In the next few
weeks, during "Indian" summer
Eskimo summer might sound more
appropriate. Ply fishing Is good, with
steelhesd rising to the lure through
the crystal water better than they
have for years, according to Joe
Wharton, writing for the Grants
Pass chamber of commerce.
Boat fishing Is proving most popu- 1
lar, with the water almost too cold ;
for wading. While waders help some. ',
particularly If the red flannels are
under the waders, a dip in the icy
waters Is not only darned unpleasant.
It is also particularly dangerous
Wharton writes: "Up In Idaho thuy
have some of the finest fishing to
be had In the Pacific northwest, but
yesterday morning (Sunday) Secie
tary of State Franklin Olrard and
R. D. Cole, general manager of the
Idaho state automobile association,
left Boise at 5:30 a.m., and arrived
In Orants Pass at 0 p.m., after driv
ing a mere matter of six or seven
hundred miles to be on hand for a
fishing trip early Monday morning
This Is only one Instance of fishing
enthusiasm." Joe falls to mention
whether the Idahoans got any fish
or not, but It Is assumed that they
did.

(Note: Only games with Oregon

The race for the Oregon high school
football championship has narrowed
faster than usual this season with
only seven major undefeated and un
tied teams left in the running.
Besides the above teams, which ore
undefeated and untied, several strong
teams which have been tied but not
defeated are carrying on with visions
of remaining undefeated end pos
sibly eliminating some of the leaders.
Among these are Salem high, which
will play the undefeated and untied
Eugene team, and Ashland high,
which points every season toward.
Medford.
Two more teams now undefeated
and untied, but which meet during
the regular season, are Pendleton and
Mil ton-Free water.
By the first or second week of
November the state championship
race probably will be narrowed down
to four or less teams.
Considering. the caliber of opposi
tion met, Med ford's record Is par
tlcularly Imposing among upstate
teams. The pearplckers averaged
32 14 points a game In defeating Bose

can be said for Eugene, Mil ton-Free-water
and Pendleton.
With Lincoln upset, Washington

where the underdog teams have been
wreaking havoc with the leaders. Lin
