AU Amerlcan fullback at Washington State college In 1933, and now trav eling for a sporting goods house, was a visitor In Medford laat night. He made a apectal trip to Medford to visit Coach BUI Bowerman of the Medford high school, coming over the mountains from Klamath Falls, where bis territory ends. Moran worked the Stanford-USU football thriller In Los Angeles re cently, when tha Cards eked out a 3-0 win over the Trojana by the margin of Monk Moscrlp's place kick in the last few minutes of the game. "That waa a real game," Mo ran aald, adding that It waa one or the moat exciting games that he's worked In the past few year. "Moran aaved my life once," Bill Bowerman atated while the big of ficial waa here laat night. The lm preaslon that Moran had at one time or another neglected to call Bower man for stepping out of bounds or some other Infraction of rules, thus "saving his life," was dispelled when William explained that he waa almost starving to death aboard a train after playing Idaho at Moscow, when Mike produced two egg sandwiches from out the circumambient air, and presented them to the weary Oregon quarterback. PKNDLETON. Ore., Nov. 13. (AP) Hevpnty-five men will go to work Friday on three miles of the 12-mlle Unroln mountain road project near Milton, the district WPA office announced. Swimming coaches, after years or being on the other side of the fence, have now switched over to the theory that J""" IU e pedal - necessary ror churning the speeds. Ray Daughters, the Seattle swimming coach, who has Turned out such stars aa Helena Madison, Jack Medlca and Onve McKean, is among those concurring in the new idea that It Is not neces sary to have big feet to swim well. Ample dogs are quit an asset to an aspiring gridmsn, however, always providing tha player can pick them up and lay them down fast enough to elude a steam roller. Take Bob "Smithereens" Smith, for Instance. His feet Aren't the biggest we've ever seen, and the report that he aklla In his street shoes la vastly exaggerated, but nevertheless they are big enough to make him the beat drop kicker we've ever seen. One doesn't ace many In thews days, drop kicking being almost a loat art. but If one can believe the stories about Uncle Hiram's career at Yale, hack In '06. the art used to be one of the most potent offensive weapons in the game. Dispatch yesterday from Pendle ton, ssklng The Mall Tribune to check with the high school and find If they intend playing McLoughlln high of Mllton-Freewater, or to take the "easier route" of playing Eugene or Myrtle Point. Sounds singularly like sour grapes from the northeast corner of the state, Pendleton hav ing long ago refused a game with the Tigers on the 18th. Bowerman announced that he la perfectly will ing to play Mac high at any time that Is convenient. A Mac hlgh-Medford game wouldn't be unique in Medford football his tory. Back In 1027 the little border school had what they considered one of the fineat teams ever to be aa aemhled around one star. PosMbly they did. with Merle Huffard, later a flash at the University of Wash ington, aa tfie star. But "star" teams aren't enough to combat a "ma chine" team such aa was the 1927 Medford product. A game was ar ranged, and the Tigers Journeyed to Mllton-Freewater. They walloped the northerners, 44-0. The secret of Success in that game was to let all trick plays unwind themselves and then Jump on Huf fard. Which the Medford team did, and stopped everything Mac hign had to offer. The up-state lads had some good, tricky plays, but made the mistake of letting Huffard end up on the end of all their squirrel cae machinations, which was fatal. Tiger Opponents Shown In Photo An idea of the alee of the unde feated and untied Myrtle Point foot ball team which is scheduled to play the Medford Tigers here on Novem ber 16, can be had by a look at the picture of the squad now on view In the Chamber of Commerce win dow. The picture was forwarded to Medford school authorities by the Myrtle Point school. Buy 130 Acres For Track At Portland PORTLAND. Ore.. Nov. 13. (API Harry L.

This advertisement h, therefore, printed by this AttoeisteJ Pre,t member piper is r spoBM to rrtiuttt fraas employe of lb orgeniMtioa aa that tha puMie may know. A general definition of one that sells news to adver tisers, bankers, brokers, government offices, as well as newspapers is "news agency". Europe has such news agencies. They were created to serve at profit others than newspapers. Later they served news papers too. . In America the reverse is now true. Certain press services operated here for years exclusively for newspapers as The Associated Press still does. Thus they were properly termed "press associations" Having started services directly or indirectly to ad vertisers, United States government offices, radio stations, etc., those others are now properly defined as news agencies. The change is regretted. There is something senti mental to an A.P. man about the "smell of printers' v ink". There is a glow out of collecting and writing news for whatever use newspapers make of it. It would bring a strange feeling even in this changing world if the A.P. man's duty was to try, among other things, to obtain and deliver a good news story that would satisfy a United States government office client or an advertising client in tha same way he wants his news reports to satisfy A.P. newspapers. The A.P. man may be wrong about this but he would have a strange feeling in undertaking it. The president of The Associated Press, Mr. Noycs, in a message to the recent meeting of managing edi tors of Associated Press newspapers said: ' "I invito you to note that privately owned newt gathering organization has, directly or indirectly, ac cepted s one customer a very large industrial corpo ration from which it will (through a broadcasting ar rangement) be in receipt of large sums of money. "I ask you to consider the peril that would confront you if The Associated Press was in relations to larger financial interests of any kind banking, public utility, oil companies or any other large interests that in volved the receipt by your organization of large sums of money and made it (possibly unjustly) in the view of the general public subservient to these interests." There are those who have always believed, and still believe, that The Associated Press, with its co operative form of organization, controlled alone by the newspapers in its membership and financed alone by them, is the greatest bulwark of a free press that exists in America today. If the newspapers in its mem bership ever would fail in their support of it or if it now suffers to the point of injury by the competition of news agencies heavily financed by the patronage of United States government offices, advertisers and others than newspapers, it would be a s6rry day not alone for the future of the newspapers but for all the people of this country. The employes of The Associated Press serve but one interest the newspaper, and through its mem ber newspapers they serve the public interest. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Th wprld i most important ptws trrvice, ikt world't Urttsl press association ntwt strvict and tarter than any news agency anywhen. The only news service in America operated solely to serve newspapers. (
