Tigers To Test Claws On Alumni Squad Friday PXGE TEST rn BOWERMAN TENTATIVE TE TO - 0 P ENSEAS0N Old Grads Determined to Avenge Last Year's Stale mate All Former High Players Will Get Chance Coach BUI Bowsrman unvolla hi )938 football machine on Van Scoyoo field tomorrow artarnoon at in a clash with a jtrong alumni squad of fornwr high school atara. Bower man today announced a tentative lineup, and Bay Henderson, who 1 managing the grads, gave a possible starting squadron. The game, originally announced for the new turf field at the senior nign school grounds, was moved to the sawdust field on West second street to preseve the grass surface for the gala opening, and the mora Import ant struggle, against Eureka the fol lowing Saturday. The old field will be wetted down for the game and put In as good condition as posalbla. Bay Lewis, awlvel-btpped balfbaclc, who has shone on offense In practice sessions, will probably not be used ' In the game. He Is suffering from a pulled tendon and Bowerman In tends to keep him on the sidelines for a rest. Bobby Ettlnger has been shifted to. left half to fill the gap left by Lewis, and Bayllss takes over Ettlnger's assignment at the right half post. Bayllss earned the apot by brilliant open field and line blocking In the last week of prsctloe, and Is showing great promise In the new position. Maruyama draws the blocking position at quarterback and Baltratda, line shattering fullback, will also start, the coach aald. The alumni aquad held a signal drill last night, and will repeat this avenlng at 0:30 at Van Scoyoc. The old grada looked Impressive In their first workout and swore to each other they would avenge the 0-0 tie last year's game produced. In that strug gle the high school battered the ball to the four-Inch line but the former stars held there. Virgil Bwanspn, bsckfleld luminary on the alumni teem laat season, will not be In harness but will work the game aa an official. Obuck Olay, star end and halfback In 1950 and 1030, will probably see action, al though 'It was announced yeetardey that he, probably would not register because of an old knee Injury. The game Is expected to be one of the most exciting alumni struggles In several years. Tho substitution rule hsa been abandoned for the encoun ter and every star Medford ever had will be given a chance to play If he cares to, The grad team Is rated considerably stronger than last year's representatives, and the high achool team la rated aa good aa If not belter than the 1030 team. The probable starting lineups as announced today are: Medford Alumni Root R&...... ., Bennett Olford ........ Br Orr Stevens ...RO....... Kales Stocks O ...

With Eureka coming to Medford Saturday, October a. Medford foot ball enthUBlaata (practically all Mod ford Ilea are football enthusiasts) will be seeing one of the beat aeoaon openera ever. To dive into the achod- ura from auch a springboard Aeema aulcldal, for Eureka la aald to have the flneet team they have had In 10 years, The coaat city started athletic re lations with Medford In the fall of 1980. We had the doubtful honor of being one of the players In that game, played In tho mud of Van Scoyoo field. Wo My doubtful honor for it was down our alley that the winning touchdown was made. Eureka came that yoar equipped with bright new green and red uni forms, the first colored football prints that Medford ever saw. They were green with a wide red band down the hack of the legs, and made the mouths of the local lads water copi ously. They wanned up the morning of the game. Chuck Clny and yours truly went out. to wnU.U them. We only stayed a few minutes, They hnfl the most tor t rlfytng array or giants on tlwit tejim wo hnd ewr seen, and they Kiuipped through their plays na though they were Into (nr dinner. We slunk out' nf the park and ' went home nud l rootled over the ponMhlllHes of suddenly develop ing chronic appendicitis. Medford was a little ashamed ot that frowsy sawdust football field, but It was the boat the city had to offer. The Callfornlana hart beou playing on turf all their lives, and assumed that Medford had one when they came up for the game. When they ssw the mire they were excoTi to romp around In they were dis gusted no end. We know, because later went to school with Vln Ma seel, their star halfback. This year all Hint will he changed. The southern team will run out onto one of the finest nf turf rietrln, If not the nhnolutety flneM, on the toast. The stum has Iteen allowed to grow without clipping for the past week or so, and Is velvety hut tough as a brussels carpet. A patent fertilizer was scattered over the entire surfnee last week to have It In shape for the open ing encounter, and so careful are the school, officials In assuring a perfect field, that ' the alumni game tomorrow will be played on the Junior high school field on West Hecond street. Several have asked If the turf will be able to withstand a hard game. We went out and checked up last nignt. ana are glad to report that we couldn't tear any grass out with a hard leather heel, kicking as lustily as our ankles would allow. In case you'ro wondering, we did this way down In the corner where the care taker couldn't see us, or he would probably have flogged us over the dome with a stout two-by-four aa a vandal, and we wouldn't be able to make auch an encouraging report.

Sept. 36. (AP) One or cne main aavanljges to be derived oy ine Hew York Giant from the fact they have finally cllncheo .the National league pennant Is that they can give the ancient underpinning of those two infield stalwarts, Manager Bui Terry and captain Travis Jack son, a much-nteded rest. Upon the ability of these survivors of he MoGraw era to stand the aer ies gaff without cracking up depends much of the hopes the Giants hold of overthrowing their Yankee neigh' bors. Jackson, after nearly two seasons oi inactivity Because of a pair of bad knees, started a wonderful come-back by Jumping into the Giant lineup tor the 1933 world series. Terry has been hobbling throvgh this season on one leg, so to apeak; playing through the critical atages of the pennant battle with characteiiatlc defenalve genlua, but yielding whenever possible to Sambo Lealle. Planking Dick Bartell and Burgess Whitehead, probably ce best double play combination la. either major league, Terry and Jackson give the Giants a defenalve edge over the Yan kee Infield. The question Is whether that will be the payoff. The Yankees have a clear margin of superiority In speed and hitting power In the com bination consisting of Bed Rolfe, Frankle Oroeettl, Tony Lazzerl and Lou Gehrig. The succulent atatlstlcs show, for example, that three of the four Giant Infield regulars have better fielding records than their rivals, whereas three of the four Yankee Inner work ers enjoy a deeded edge In atlckwork. The Yankee infielders have driven in more than 400 runs. The Olantr, on the other har.a, have a margin In the double play department. FINNISH FLASH SETS TWO-MILE RECORD STOCKHOLM, Sept. 38.
