In tha preceding year.
Travel Into the park did not begin
until May 36 thla year from the south
entrance which in 1934, due to a light
winter and ahowplow operations, waa
open the entire year. The west en

tn January but In 1936 was not open
until the first week In Juna. Despite
the late start, the past season almost

By Dick Applegate
Mike Moran, noted Pacific Coast
conference football official. 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.

Associated Press is today the only exclusively
newspaper press association in America.
EXPLANATORY NOTE; Tha Anocl.teJ Preu not being prodt-mtlilnl, In Board of
Directors bat always held that lundi ol tha organization ihmild not he ipent lor advertitinl.
Not fn anr manner meamni) to quettion the Roard's policy em: :-.ti ol Tha Atiociated
Pre,l, ol which this newipaper 11 a member, leel that attention should ha directed ia theie
crucial times to something that they believe alleeta not only tha newspapers but tha reading
puhlie.
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.
