MEDFORD MATJJ TRTBUKT5. "MEDFORD. OREGON".' FRIDAY. OCTOBER 23. 1936 Medford-Grants Pass Battle Saturday Holds Conference Title Key PAOE EIGHT TITLE CAN Invaders Have Impressive Record Greatest Crowd Of Season Looms Pass ers Will Play Major Role. Indications are that the crucial Orants Pass-Medford football game on the senior lilnh school turf field tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock will come close to shattering attendanoo records for the past several seasons, with the battle apparently to settla the southern Oregon conference championship. Orants Paaa haa al ready disposed of Klamath Fall and ABhland, leHVIng only Medford as stumbling block. The Tigers have not yot met either Ashland or Klamath Palls, and to morrow's gume will be the first regu lar conference struggle for them, the Roseburg outfit defeated by Medford earlier In the season having practi cally withdrawn from competition with othor southern Oregon schools. Despite the fact that the Black Tor nado has faced no conference oppo nent, they aro rated as powetful as the Climate City squadron and the game Is expected to be the meeting of two strong offenses. I'assca to Feature Orants Pass will use a double back flrld shift, will undoubtedly rely strongly on a short shovel pass over the line of scrimmage (a play that has gained them much yardage in earlier games), a crushing line at tack, and a brilliant passing comm nation. Paced by a vastly heavier team. Medlord will awing away from straight power plays In all proba bility and Intersperse their attack with dazzling laterals, reverses and spinners, as well as a forward pass ing attack, Olsen to Wilson or Boot. Olsen will not be the only pltohef In the game for the Tlgera. however, Maruyama having proved a dead eye In hurling the apple to teammates. . Coach Boworman announced today that ho would not substitute by teams as he has done In the past, few games, but will substitute only In dividually. In drill last night the iunnri tnsm snarked on defense but their offensive was slumped although several played oustandlng football. Lack of work on offensive lorma tlons haa handicapped them, Bower man aald.. ING THEM INTO CASH before Inventory at prices FAR BELOW COST-OUR LOSS IS YOUR GAIN-ALL SIZES! ALL MAKES!

Santo and Offord, who wero originally spotted for sec ond berth In tomorrow' game, looked no good on offensive Inst night that Bowerman has decided to atari then) GHG ABJTHC USED THEE SALE! -SALE! ' OVERSTOCKED on GOOD USED TIRIS. We are TURN against the Cavemen. Earhart, a regular starter at tackle, was slightly Injured In practice Monday night and has not been used In heavy work this week. Bowerman said that his four tackles those mentioned and Blair, are closely matched both of fensively and defensively, and sub stitution in those spots will prob ably be frequent. Lewis, injured halfback, out since the Eureka game, will probably see action tomorrow, the coach stated He went hard In practice last night with no apparent 111 effects, and li a doctor gives him a clean alate to day will be used, although he will probably not start. The ankle In- Jury robbed the Tigers of their most sparkling offensive threat, and the return of Lewis la expected to add greatly to the potency of the Tiger attack. The high school held a downtown rally parade Just before 3 o'clock this afternoon, while 30 miles north the Caveman conference title since 1930. stunt to arouse Interest In Grants Pass, A conservative estimate sees at least 60 cars coming for the game, the Climate City adherents convinced they are on the trail of the first Caveman conference tittle since 1030. Less conservative forcea foresee sev eral hundred cars In the caravan that will come in hopes of seeing Med- ford's long winning streak sh ate red. Increase Heating Boom To care for the Increased crowd portable bleachers used at basketball games have been set up to augment the bleachers already on the east side of the field, boosting the capacity there to 1000. With the big grand stand seating 1375 comfortably, thero will be crowded sating facilities lor about 3600, with perhaps another tbousaud standing. Principal C. O. Smith of Medford high school has promised that the game will start promptly at a o'clock Those expecting to get good seats are warned to come early, although every seat In the grandstand affords a good view of the field. There have been 60 seats set aside for reserva tions made over the telephone with students delivering the ducats. Bowerman announced his lineup as Wilson and Boot at ends, Offord and Santo at tackles, Grow and Baker at guards, Stocks at center. In the backfleld Maruyama will start at quarterback, Olsen and Ettinger will start at halves, and aatcraiaa win fill the fullback post. Coach Loreu Tuttle has not yet announced his Caveman starters. PROSPECTS ARE GOOD DEER REMAIN SIM The following bulletin was Issued today by the Rogue river national forest service; v Deer hunting la rather poor hi most parts of the forest. The beat reports we have had this week are from the Butta Falls district whero daaplta the continued dry weather, there have been several deer killed In the higher country, mainly In the Blue rock, upper middle fork and Mount McLaughlin areas. Quite a number of large deer have been aeen at the lower elevations In the vicinity of Butte Falls and lowor south fork. Apparently, deer are mi grating to the lower country to some extent. Besr season opens Sunday, No vember 1. There have been a good many bear reported see nln the forest many bear reported seen in the forest good hunting. The Applegate district reports good quail hunting along the streams. Tho season for ducks and geese also opens November 1, and birds are plentiful on upper Klamath lake. The largest fire of the season on the Rogue river national forest start ed Thursday and la still not com pletely controlled. This fire is be lieved to have been started by a care less smoker traveling on the Buzzard Mine-Woodruff Meadows road. So the necessity of care with fire in the woods is again forcibly brought out.?'

Chinese pheasants are queer birds. Last evening, hunting' with Bob Gil strap, we saw six or eight of them flying from, tree to tree in an or chard I Not too well versed In pheas ant lore, the situation amazed us, who always believed pheasants were obsessed with staying on the ground except when flying to some other bit of ground to keep from being step ped on. Now we dlscovor that Chinese pheasants have a penchant for trees at certain times of the year, the time being Just nfter somebody has sprlk led them with shot. Ken Murray, who lives about five miles out on the Crater lake htgnway, reports that he tfot up one morning to find 11 of the birds crowding each other for a foot hold In a tiny tree in his front yard. Tho next thing we know we'll be hearing about them hitch-hiking to and from the cornfields. ' We Rut mint her Mirprlse nnent iMieasimls a few days ago.

Now wc discover that a pheasant to reach maturity with both dogs I nt net is a lucky bird Indeed, The reason is that mowing ma chines clip off their feet when they're young and won't run to get out of the way. Farmers tell us that pheas ants even of advanced age will sometimes Just ait and shudder while the mower tears them to pieces. It is a situation not easily remedied. The birds cower in the cover crop and can't be seen until feathers idioot up to show where they were hiding, and apparently the only solution Is Ts 16 Months g 100 Proof j KENTUCKY 1 ,s j Straight n CfKlf No. 111. j Bourbon II lcc UU ; Whiskey la j eitnutsstornto rt II Code Va. w I 33 jSimmorerficrit Ttt II 1,M I ouimssoW KintveirY il blow ao-ainat. r,h nnmorfnl Maruvama.

Not many farm ers have bird dogs, however, although some conservation-Inclined ones bor row dogs. Another thing we've learned this year Is thnt farmers are sur prisingly lenient about letting huhters roam their fields, even when those fields ore posted, If the hunter first asks permission so the farmer will know who's banging about the place, Of course, It Is foolish to ask a farm er to let you hunt In pasture ground where cattle are ranging. We met one gentleman yesterday who has 100 biscuits he wants to put on Medford in the Orants Pass fray Saturday. There are plenty of other Medford supporters who will untie the family sock for a few fish if they find anyone to cover it. To date Grants Pass money Is scarce. Most Climate City betters want at least six points; some want 12. Coach Bowerman, while appreciat ing the support, thinks such rashness as giving any odds and taking Med ford qualifies the bettor for the loon ey bin. He . will be more than satis fled with a win of any kind, he de clares, ' - , i .t . . ., i: . Medford is not the only city with a new turf field! McMlnnvllle now boasts one on the Unfleld college campus, seeded five months ago and now holding up beautifully under a heavy season of play. Coach Henry W. Leever of Linfield eaj's that the field cost $600 exclusive of drain age, but that the drainage was Im perative. The field has been used in several games played In heavy rains this year, and has not been damaged In the least. The Medford field Is drained so It Is safe to assume that If rain ever comes during a game the field will remain In perfect con dition. Supt. Hedrick, a far-sighted man if ever we saw one, thought of that drainage problem first. AUTO LOaNS and refinancing W E Thomas. 45 S. Central.
