(in The hard-c'rlvlrm Wlmman college basket rill '.Mm dcfcMrd Miiltnontsh Club. 44 lo 33, here last DtH. FANDOM RANDOM By Dick Applegate What do athletes get out of their prowess once they have graduated from school? Does the fanfare and adulation that accompanies a star halfback through the last two or three years of his college career spoil him for any useful duty after ward? We have a pet story anent that, which now that such a controversy Is raging, seems more or iess appro priate. A few years ago -7e were m New York and read that Santa Olara and Oregon were going to tang; on the gridiron at Eugene. It was a game we didn't want to miss, and being out of funds, as usual, started riding freight trains west 13 days be fore the game. We got In Eugene 15 minutes be fore the ktckoff, startling a few Med ford friends by our singularly un kempt and wan appearance as we j walked the ties Into town. But the point Is. that during the game a young Santa Clara back, named Jack McQulre, did as much as could be expected in stopping Kotaka, Ml ku lak. Temple and Bowerman, and car ried the ball quite effectively him self. He won considerable acclaim for himself, and there we'll leave htm. Still being short of funds, we angled for a ride to Med ford on the train that was taking the Santa Clara team back to California. Hav ing gone to school the year before with all the players, they agreed to let us hide In their bunks to elude the Espee conductor until the train got to Medford. Only It never did. It was the Cascade Instead of the Shasta, and went through Klamath Falls. We had to play hlde-and-go- seek with that conductor all night, every time he getting close we Jump ing Into lower-8, landing on a bat tered athlete whom we couldn't Identify In the dark. We gave htm a terrific beating all night Jumping In on top of him at Intervals of five minutes, and when we left the : train at Klamath Falls we still didn't know who he was. When at the Chicago world fair the next year, two Html a Clara grads were hawking a run- v her whale on the midway, and upon our entry to the exhibit we had quite a reunion, one of ' the hankers was Jnrk MrUuIre, the guy who had played the nice game at Eugene, and who, It developed, had served as bark stop for our wild leiips Into lilx bunk on the train ride to Klamath. The next time we saw him was In a movie palace In Monterey. Mexico when he was on the screen In , a small part tn a Ruth Ettlng fnr.. - II l"r" picture.

Which Illustrates in a long-winded way, te point that at least some athletes get something out of their college careers, since a movie producer had met Jack at a dinner in San Francisco after a St. Mary'a-Santa Clara game In which he had starred, and offered htm a pic ture chance. The Medford Tlgera aluah Into Klamath Knlla tomorrow for the first of a two-giime series, rrlday ancl Saturday nlghta. The Klam ath team I, laid to he a strong outtlt this year, and after the nar row Medrord football victory, the Klamath fans are anvloua Tor an overwhelming Tiger defeat. Thoae who anw the fight displayed by the locals In their first two game, agalmt Kalem and Weed, feel that the Pellcona will have their era an full In taming the Tlgera. Tha Medford squad la still without the aervlcea of a pivot man, with Boh Smith gone to the University of Ore- gon ana Ray "Stretch" Kttlnger due to gradtiate In a few more daya. Al though Bowerman dta'ikea using a man who la ao aoon't be lost to the squad, he will probubly have to use the lanky center In the Klamath Fr.Ila games. Sam Vanliyke, who haa been working at tha 'eaplng post, is not a center, but a forward and guard, al- mougn he cr.n handle the Jumping assignment If necessary.
