PAGxi six MEDFORD MAIL TRTBTTNE. MEDFORD. OREGON', THURSDAY, NOVEIBER 12, 1936. IN LAST MINUTES FOR 8T0G DRAW Eleven Fumbles Costly for Rebuilt Medford Outfit Huge Crowd Witnesses Armistice Day Classic CO ftST LEAGUE '"REELECTS HEAD A revamped Medford high school football team yesterday afternoon crashed Into a stubborn underdog Ash land cloven before an Armistice Day throng of about 3700, and the impact produced 11 fumbles for the Tigers fumbles that nearly coat them the game as the two teems bat tled to a 0-fi deadlock. On the second piny of the same Sakrnlda, usually steady Medford fullback, fumbled and the ban was recovered for Ashland by Schreldrel ter, Grlzzy center, on the Ashland 43. O. Warren flashed over center on the next play to the 38-yard line for an Ashland threat In the first two mln utes of the game, but the Tigers he la for downs there. After an exchange of punts Med ford got the ball on their own 26. and two plays later Bowman's rumble was recovered by Bromley, Ashland tackle, on the Medford SI to start another Ashland threat which was ended when Fowler quick-kicked out on the 23. Fumble Halts Threat Shortly after the start of the sec ond quarter HI)!, substitute Medford fullback, broke loose from the 41 to rare to the 13-yard stripe for the first serious Tlgor threat of the game. , Hill went to the 10 on a buck, but on the next play, a double reverse to Ettlnger, the Medford quarter fum bled and the ball was recovered by Oettllng on the Medford 20. That. waa the picture of the game all thi way through. It was a fumble, this time Ash land's, that started the drive that produced Medford's lone score. Fow ler, who played an outstanding game for the visitors, attempted a reverse pass from the Medford 97, fumbled, and the ball was recovered for the locals by Earhnrt and Wilson on the 4fl. On the next play Bowman, 17- year-old sophomore hurdler who was playing his first game as a regular, mede a half spin and then cut over the tackle spot like an express train and tore to the Ashland 34 before being hauled down. Two plftys later Ett In tier's long pass was In Wilson's arms over the end one but slipped through the wing man's hands after It had apparently been safe. Taking to the ground again, the Tlgep sent Bowmnn to the 10-yard stripe on a spinner over cen ter, and at right end. he went to the nine, as the gun apparently ended the threat when Jerry Jerome, offi cial timekeeper, fired his pistol In the excitement. The firing was a mistake, and, with over a minute left in the half, the Tigers took to the ar In a desperate attempt to tally, eakralda's first pass to Baker flopped out of the little quarterback's hands, and a buck on the next play lost a yard. With the fourth down coming up, Sakral da's high pass was snagged by Kt tlnger after a prodigious leap In the nd none, for the score, atllnsky. sent hastily Into the game to try to rp" v w u 1 mm n W MATH UPSETS BEND TITLE HOPE 14 T0 14 TIE Eugene Axmen Continue Win String With 14-7 Vic tory Over Salem Grants Pass Humbles Roseburg Wilbur C, Tuttle, writer of "Wild West" fiction, wst re-elected presl dent of the Pacific Coast League and olven a rise In salary by directors of the lesgue at the fall meeting held In San Francisco.

Third Quarter Nee-Paw During the third quarter and most of the fourth the ball see-sawed back and forth on the field, the Orlrzlles easily outgalnlng the Tigers as fum bles marred the best efforts of the IocaI squad. With but a few minutes left In the game, Aahlaud started a drive from their own 20-yard line that ended with a touchdown. O. Warren took Bnyllss' M-ynrd punt on his own 30. and returned It to the 20. Fow ler, on a buck, went unimpeded to the 38. and made It a first and 10 on the 40 on the next play. Carter went tn for lo at that point for the only Ashland substitution of the day, and on the first play made seven yards Fowler and Carter made another first and 10 on line plsvs to the Medford 4B, from where Fowler's reverse oasa to McAllister was good on the 20. 1 ttr.wller Carter wont to the 86 on a left tackle play. From the 25 Fowler attempted a reverse pass. No one charged him from the Medford line so he ran to the 14 before being stopped. The same man went on a cut-bock to the nine, Carter bucked to the eight, and on the next play Fowler shot a wide pass to L. Warren In the right i corner of the end cone to tie the count. Fowler's kick wss wide, with but 26 seconds remaining In the gAtne. i Dower mat i Congratulates After the game Coach Bower man of Medford congratulated the OrlB zlles on the fighting spirit they showed, and particularly congratulat ed Coach Bkeet O'Connel on the Im provement his team had made. For the first time this year the Tigers were outgalned on first downs, 10 to 7, although they had the edge on yardage gained from scrimmage. 140 to 144. Medford threw seven passes, completed three for 40 yards, and had one Intercepted. Ashland attempted 30 passes, completed seven for a gain of 03 yards, and had two Intercepted, one by Baker on the five- yard line, ending with the third Ash land threat of the day. There was only one penalty In flicted during the game, a five-yard set-back given the Tlgors for off sides. One 16-ysrd penalty was ruled Against them when It was declared Wilson had Interfered with another player while attempting to catoh Hnkrnlda'a pass, but another official ruled that Wilson had been Inter fered with so the penalty was re voked. Lucky to Get Tie Fowler, Lee and O. Warren were the stars of the backfleld for Ash land, Fowler for his bruising line plunges and passes, and Warren for his brilliant broken field running. Lee was outstanding on defense. In the line Bromley, Oettllng and Schel- derlter turned In the best games For the Tigers. Baker, transplanted from guard to quarterback In tho middle of the game, snd then back again, starred. To Bowman must go prslse, des pite the newcomer's four fumbles. The little hurdler displayed a fight ing spirit, a flashing speed, and all- around ability that surprised most of the huge crowd. A week ago he was prncttcally unheard of In football circles. The Medford team was lucky to get off with a tit. but displayed flashes of power and speed at times that give Indications of greatness be fore the season Is over. The team was almost entirely different from the one that played earlier games, and for a new outfit played excep tional football. Summary : Ashland Medford McAllister RK .

The bout would be a no-declslon 12- rounder In Atlantic City's convention hall, which can seat 45,000. Gould said he "tentatively" accept ed the bid, "because that's too much dough to pass up." He took Into con slderatlon the fact that Brad dock Is under contract to Madison Square Garden for a title fight with Max Schmellng next June. However, the word was that Gould appeared willing to take up the offer. in order to sidetrack temporarily the idea of a title fight between Brad' dock and Light-Heavyweight Cham plon John Henry lwls, which has been talked up by Jimmy Johnston, the Garden promoter. It was believed the champion's manager would do nothing definite until Johnston returns from London, where Lewis defeated Len Harvey in a 178 -pound title go Monday. Gould explained that his "ten ta re" acceptance of Taylor's offer left the entire matter In the air. "Nothing has been signed," he said, 'and therell have to be plenty of preliminary negotiations before any thing Is definite." In Detroit, John Rojcborough, co- manager of Louis, said he understood plans had been made to sign articles today, but there was no information of that detail here. Pilots Promise Gonzaga Battle PORTLAND, Nov. 12. (AP) The Portland Pilots, refusing to accept predictions of certain defeat, prom ised the Gonzaga Bulldogs a thorough battle at Multnomnh Stadium Sunday afternoon. The strong, fast Bulldogs are gen eral favorites, but Coach Gene Mur phy of Portland wants the football world to know the Pilots are not ad mitting the possibility of defeat beforehand. E FOR SKY ATTACK CORVAIA1S, Ore., Not. 1J. (AP) Stanford's aerial attack, heralded as one of the hardest to smash In the coast conference, will not find Oregon State unprepared at Portland Satur day. The Beavers, who less than a week ago unseated the then undefeated Washington State Cougars, spent their flnsl major practice session de veloping a defense against the Car dinal tosses. PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 12.-(AP) With their entire squad In Rood shape, Stanford's Indians entrain late today for Portland, where they meet Oregon State Saturday, In a coast conference football game. Coach O. K. "Tiny" Thornhlll said Cab Calloway, his stsr guard, will be able to play. He had to leave the Washington game Saturday because of jrulsed shoulder. Glen Hamilton, sub fullback, will be ready for the first time In three weeks, but will not be In the starting lineup. WHITMAN GETS SETBACK AT HANDS OF TACOMANS BOASTS IMPOSING WALLA WALLA, Nov. 12. UP) Whitman's hopes to take the North west conference football crown were at low ebb today, following a set back at the hands of the college of Pttget Sound here yesterday. Remson led the Tacomans to a 6 to .victory, which left the Willamette "areata an overwhelming favorite to take the title. Jack Ray. Dallas, Texas, boxer who meets Buzz Brown In the 10 -round main event at the armory Monday night, has registered 40 knockouts In his last 75 fights, It was learned from his record today, and the 40 who have gone the sleeper route have in cluded men outstanding In the ring. Ray Is slower and more the wade-ln- and-slug type than Brown, but many of his victories have come as the result of absorbing four punches to land one. That Is the sort of fight he expects to turn loose sgalnst Brown. Tex Salkeld, Brown's manager, said today that the Ray type of slugging is by far the most dangerous attack against a man of Brown's skill. All the skill In the world, he admitted. would do no good If an opponent lands a lucky punch on the chin. He does not. however expect Ray to land one of his haymakers Monday night but grants the possibility of such an outcome. Promoter Mack Lillard said today that Interest In the fight was In creasing rapidly, with prospects for a crowded house. He said that tho men on the card are all colorful in the .ring, and are as evenly matched as possible. In each Instance there Is a slugger pitted against a skilled boxer, and while the odds universal ly favor the skilled ringmaster, there Is always a chance for an upfit. Lillard declares that the semi-wind-up. a battle between Sonny Enders, 165, Klamath Falls, and Jack Ncaly. 165, Kerby, will be one of the best on the card. Both are hot-headed and young, and both striving to at tain ranking position In the ring. With the willingness born of smbi tlon. both throw leather from the starting bell, with no early-round sparring to test tbe mettle of an opponent. The theory seems to be to apply the acid tst a once, and If the enemy can't stand the corro sion, then too bsd for the enemy. Another six-rounder on the card that Is arousing interest la the match between Bucky O'Brien, O'Brien, Ore., and Red Melhorn. Klamath Falls. Melhorn Is the boxer In this match, and O'Brien is the slugger. Just as Nealy Is the boxer and Enders the clotiter In the other six-round event. The same prices In effect all sum mer will prevail, Lillard announced. f- JACKSONVILLE II C. P. 12 TO 6 TO The Jacksonville high school foot ball team yesterday cinched the sec ondary school championship of tht county by eliminating the Central Point Pointers on the Pointer field, ia-a. The game was a hard-fought and bitter one, the two teams having played to a 6-6 draw In an earlier struggle. Jacksonville scored first in the opening quarter when a pass from Mitchell to Heuners was com pleted In the end none from 15 yards out, The conversion failed. In the third quarter the Pointers evened the count after a drive from their own 20-yard line was culmi nated by an end run from eight yards out by Pink O'Conner. In the first of the last quarter. Jacksonville again boomed Into the lead when Salsbury, Jacksonville guard, Intercepted a Pointer pass on his own 36 -yard line and galloped' 65 yards to score. The conversion again failed. With but two minutes left In the game, the Pointers took a punt on their own 16-yard line to march straight down the field with bucks, slants, spinners and passes, to end with the ball on the one-yard line at the gun. The last play actually went over the last stripe, but not until after the referee's whistle had blown because the forward progress of the ball had been stopped. The game was the last of the sea son for both squads.
