owners who depend on rentals or a
living. The state Is now liquidating
its-holdings and sales are Increasing
with the upturn In real estate and
the Improvement of general economic
conditions. So tar this year the state
has sold more of Its properties than
In the four previous years combined."
The experience of the World War
Veterans State Aid commission Is In
line with the real estate situation In I
general. It la estimated that realty
transfers In Jackson- county In July
were about 40 percent above those In
the same month of 1935. -
Realty men state that activity has
continued at a fast pace during the
summer months when ordinarily a
lull can be expected. They predict a
spurt In the purchase of homes and
suburban tracts. this fail.
Demand for Tracts
Garl Y. Tengwald, real estate agent
and Jackson county representative of
the veteran aid commission, said that
Id the past 90 days the realty market
has been more active than at any
other time in the past six years.
"So many tenants have been com
pelled. to move from .place to place
because of the sale .of their resi
dences that they are becoming anxi
ous to own rneir own homes," Mr.
Tengwald stated.
He related that there Is a heavy de
mand for small' suburban tracts of
five -to ten acres with all Improve
ments, a demand, he added, that
cannot be met. He predicted that
before long some of the large tracts
of the county will be divided .and
Unproved to meet the demand.

CHEMAWA FIRST
TIGER OPPONENT;
MARSHFIELD NEXT
The colorful Chemawa Indians will
rurnlsh the first football opposition
for the 1936 edition of thr Medford
high school Tigers, roach Bill Bower
man said yesterday u announctnR the
lineup of games for the year. The
Rnme will be playt-d here Ootolnr 3.
Effort to sign an earlier game have
so far failed, although negotiations
nre not yet completed.
On October 10 the Tigers will raid
Marshfield for the laet any-from-home
encounter until Nov. 21, when
Medford plays Salem at Salem. Rase
burg will be plftyed here on Ocober
17. and on October 24 the Tigers play
Grants Pass h'rv. What is expected
to be the toughest same of the year
win be apainst Klamath Falls here on
October 31. with the bluRcst crowd In
.evenU years anticipated after athletic
relations were nearly niptured as an
aftermath of a close game at
Klamath Falls in sub-freezing tem
perature last yenr.
The Ashland team will probably
play here on Armistice Day. Bower
man eald, although that la not yet
certain. Last year the Tigers were
given 350 to play In Ashland, but
the OrlK?llea are asking 500 for he
Medford game this yenr. Such a sn
will probably be found prohibitive,
the coach aald.
The Salem game will mark the first
time In history that the Tigers have
tangled with the Vikings on their
home grounds, although- the two
schools have been meeting in foot
ball for many years. Last season the
Tigers mowed down the northen
squad here by the lop-sided count of
42-6.
The Eureka team, put on the regu
lar schedule for a home-and-home
series under the regime of Darwin K.
Burgher, now head conch at Boise,
Idaho, high school, will not be played
this year, Bower man said.
Oiher teams will be contacted In an
effort to bring the schedule to eight
or nine game. Bowerman said.
An Innovation adopted by Bower
man in basketball will be Introduced
into football this year, with a
Sophomore shocks squad. This team
will scrimmage with the varsity, and
will play secondary high schools In
the valley in special games. By the
system Bowerman expects to provide
games for twice the regular number
of players, enlivening the season for
those who would ordinarily bo forced
to alt on the bench because of their
size or other factors.
Pre -season Indications are that the
Medford line will be heavier than the
last year forward wall, with a smaller
backfleld. Despite the fact that pros
pects' last year Indicated a rosy sea
son for 1036. Coach Bowerman. and
Asslsant Coachea Klrtley and "Finch,
are frankly worried about the coming
squad's outstanding aars are gone,
squad's outstaning stars are gone,
with Bob "Smithereens" Smith, line
cracking halfback; Stan Kunr.man,
small but fiery end. and John Dlck
1 Inson. stocky guard, all smduated
'and planning to attend college. Dick
I lnson is signed at Oregon State, with
; Smith and Kunrman casting their
fortunes with Oregon.
