'sV.ilr.i.taiiUBiK P." GE TWO MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE, IVfEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26. 1936. Bowerman Slates First Practice for Gridiron Squad September 8 STIFF SCHEDULE STARTJN DRILL Coach Angling for Game With Upstate School for September 26 Klamath Looms As Main Threat Uzcudun Safe The first call to irnu for the 1930 edition of the Medford high school Black Tornado football team will be Issued September B, It was announced today by Head Coach BUI Bowerman. With one of the stlifest schedules In years, equipment will be Issued the first night and regular drill will atcrt shortly after. Bowerman was unable to aay today whether the playing season will get underway on September 19 or 36, with both dates now open. Negotiations for a game on the 26th with Oorvallls either here, or there have fallen flat, with the northern school falling to so much as answer any of the Bevel Inquiries dispatched to them. At tempts are being made to sign a gams on that date with either University nign or Eugene, or North Bend. Myr. tie point, strong secondary school which made a bid for state honors last year, refused an early season en counter with Medford, admitting they were out oi ine local class. The alum ni will be played either the 10th or 36th. Face Tough Competition Every high school In southern Ore. son will be In the race definitely this year, orants Pass has eight big lino men oacic from last year's strong equaa, ana weaun of backfleld ma tonal. Asniana, unaor tbelr new coach Skeet O'Oonnell, Oregon State star, will be making a desperate bid for sectional honors, having lost only one end from the line that threw such a scare into the Tigers last year. In Fowler Ashland has one of the most brilliant fullbacks ever produced In this section of the state, and the rest or their backfleld material Is said to be good. They will start practice on September 1, one week before the Medford start. Klamath Falls, rapidly striding Into position ss enemy number t for the locale, with the addition of Buck Hammer to their coaching staff. Is sure to be dangerous and Bowerman admits the clash may be the hard eat on his schedule. The game will be played here, and early season es timates are that all attendance rec ords here will be shattered, following a near-rlft over a disputed decision last year, when Medford won a hot game In the last 20 seconds of play. End Positions Worry The Medford team will be erln. pled by the loss of all the ends from last year'a squad, John Dickinson, sier guard, and Bob "Smithereens" Smith, southpaw half. Ends who Tiauuated were Kunzman, Fraley, Townsend and bi "Btretch" Ettln- '4 V it 'efc - f ' n. r,.,r.L I i M$ A, Paollno Uzcudun, the Basque heavy weight, arrived In Pamplona, 8pain, after being reported slain In the Spanish civil war.

Price, Msnsgei gcr. xne oniy oiner end who saw regulsr duty was Orow. arow did not find himself at the end berth last season and will probably be shifted to some other spot In order to take ad vantage of his heft, "What we're going to do for a re placement for Dickinson at running guard I don't know," Bowerman said. He also declared that be was at a loss for a backfleld to "take the place of jjod omun." smith was given the lion's share of the credit for close wins over fast Klamath and a claw ing Ashland teams last season. Bowerman saw some ray of light In the prospects coming up from last yeer'a Junior high school eleven. Campbell. Gillespie and Stead, he no ted, would probably be called uoon lor oackfleld service, aa would eev. oral of the Sophomores from the 1039 squad. The backfleld this year will be light and faat, he added. No places cinched To date there have been no trans fers into the school likely to make the grade, but several of the scrubs from the former team have put on weight during the aummer. Bowerman said that aa far aa could be told now, there wasn't a man on the aquad who had hla Job cinched. "If anyone thinks he has a apot saved for him, he's due ror a rude Jolt early next month," the coach declared. Added to the departure of outstend Ing players la tho probable loss of moynton Flnoh, line coach Injured eany this aummer In an auto crash Finch will not be back in uniform for drill this season, although he will probably serve In his old capacity as scout, his value to the team sa a diagnostician was given much credit by Bowerman for laat year'a pheno. menal aeaaon. Ed Klrtley, stocky backfleld coach, will be back In harneas to aid In over coming what he himself deolaree to be one of Medford's toughest seasona In years. To overcome what many be lieve a rosy outlook for the coming season, Bowerman and Klrtley gloom ily outlined the following factors that will have to be overcome: Lack of paasera to take the place of Smith's deadly heaves; lack of kickers, a plague that dogged the team last year; lack of place kickers; lack of sparkplugs to take the place of Kunzman and Smith; laek of ex perience with riot a man on the squad who has had more than one season under fire. ' How much chance would an oral narlly strong man have in a tussle with a professional wrestler? . Not much, we'd imagine, and Johnny Boos says none at all. Recently, while working In gold mine with his brother while on a vacation in Idaho, Boos was called upon to furnish en tertalnment for a large group on holiday excursion. The blrgest and strongest man In the outfit was chosen as his opponent. A gent named Elmer Bchraft, a miner, who tipped tne beam at 240 pounds, Rous dis posed of him In Just six minutes. Then they threw In another 240 pounder, who herded sheep In his off moments. Johnny downed him In five minutes. That's 480 pounds of man in 11 minutes, not a bad record. Before leaving the wreatling subject we'd like to make Just one plea to Promoter Mack Llllard. That la match Dude Chick with someone who can give him a tussle either Boo Montgomery or Joe Hubka. Either one would make a good match, and whoever Is chosen we'd like to eee the other have a go with the big cow- nuncher on the following Week, If possible. There are going to be plenty of changes In this year's football team Even Coach Bowerman doesn't know what they'll be yet, but one will see ....... . ... uik "m w.wi CCNT to possibly a guard or fullback post tlon. Don Root, despite the fact that he has a per fect ball packing MaawsseaasaesBaasfc record, will prob ably be drafted for a trial at the end post vncated by Stan Kunzman. Root la the only Medford back who haa a record of 100 per cent in his ball- packing Jie carried the apple once, against Grants Psas, and got over the line standing up from aeveral yarda out. If Bowerman so desires, he can have a line thla year that will average a trifle over 170 pounds, with a back field of 190 pounda each. He won't because several of the gents Included In that category are Just animated hot dog standa. But It would be amusing to see the faces of certain Klamath Falls enthunlaata who charged last year that the Medford team averaged Just three grama under the tonnage listed for the Queen Mary. A lot of the Players have managed to get the meat and pota toes to stick to their slate through the aummer and will be reporting back from five to 19 pounds heavier, New uniforms are beginning to ar rive. The Jerseys will be made of black rayon material, with red nu merals, and the first string pants will be made of black gabardine. In stead of the uaual duck. Gabardine Is lighter and tougher, holda Its color better, and Is better looking. Those red numbers have Bowerman worried. If they are sewed on at the factory a tax automatically lifts tne ortce of the Jersey 10 per cent. So they'll have to be aewed on here. And Bill Is Just a little worried that he la going to have to break out the needle and thread and do that sew ing himself.

(AP) The "little fellows" had their Inning to. day at the Grand American trapshoot In a SOO-torget, 10-yard raco for class championships, but the "talk of the town still centered around the Tues day performances of Mrs. Lei a Hall and Joe Hlestand In retaining tbelr norm American clay target titles, Winners In six classes, from the "dubs" to the experts, were to be de- elded today, aa well aa the team race. in wnicn five men from each state were to battle for the national lau rels. Mrs. Hall, blue-eyed, 119-pound No. 1 citizen of the 144 residents of Stras burg, Mo., provided most of the fire works In yesterday's show. She broke 109 of 200 clays from the 19-yard Una. the greatest mark ever made In the battle for national feminine honors. Hlestand, the Hlllsboro, O.. farmer boy, repeated his performance of a year ago to win the men'a champion ship.

The eaat broke 1809 of the 2000 targets, while the weat snared 1028, There la something Inherently fun ny about a colored baseball team. The negroes seem to have such a whale of a good time, Juat playing.' But the VanDyke'a colored House of David team which plays here Friday night against John Mlljus' Medford base ball club will have enough novel stunts added to assure a hilarious evening. t One of their favorite, stunts- la plunking their catcher down In a rocking chair and letting him do bis work from there. The thing doesn't sound particularly funny, but those who have seen the clowns In action declare It to be side-splitting, and add that If you don't want your sides spilt there must be something wrong with you. Despite their clowning the House of David outfit oan also play baseball, as their record of 19 wins out of 20 games on the cosst shows. They play the Orants Pass team on Thura- day night, and Jump from here for two-game atand at Klamath Falls. The game Is to be called late enough ao that working people can get there on time to see the warm-up antics, and will terminate probably at the end of seven innings. Tl HOW THEY?
