PAGE THREE Mail-Tribune All Star District Conference Grid Squads Selected fEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. "NrEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. TVECEFBER R. 1936 MEDFORD PLAYERS I ALL CONFERENCE ELEVEN I VOTED 4 PLACES L Ashland Gains Three Posi tions, Klamath Falls And Grants Pass Two From Coaches, Scribes. With many surprises, the check of southern Oregon conference football coaches, officials and sports writers has been completed, and the Mall Tribune today offers Its All-Conler-ence first and second teams, with honorable mentions. In each case the selection Indicates a majority vote by those casting, with the exception that some of those selected were mov ed out of the positions they filled so ably through the 1936 conference s' reason. Surprisingly enough the poll gives the once defeated and once tied Med ford Black Torpedo the entire left aide of the line, and one backileld pot for a total of four positions on tb first team, despite the fact that the Tigers ended up In the cellar position. Prultt Is Favorite To Grants Pass, technical victors of the conference by forfeiture after the w Tigers trammeled the Cavemen here f under a 31- avalanche, goes only two places on the first team, and one on the second team. Kenneth Prultt, bone-crushing Caveman full back, ran away with the voting In that department to pile up an Im pressive lead over hla nearest com petitor, Leo Sakratda of Medford. Steve Fowler, hard-hitting Ashland fullback, was almost out of the pic ture In the balloting, although It Is almost a certainty that a majority of the Medford fans would have rated him far above Prultt. Prultt had an off day when his team played here, while Fowler and hla team both parked beautifully In tying the Ti gers 6-6. Baker Leads The most amazing lead piled up In the count was by Floyd Baker, Med ford 'a vest-pocket guard who played defensive fullback and, at the end of the year, offensive quarterback. Baker turned In more than to-to one votes over all his opponents to gether, and one voter nominated blm whole-heartedly as "easily the moat valuable player In the league. ' Baker chosen for left guard In almost all of the tabulations, and several voters nominated htm for first . place at right guard. Because of his !' avalanche of votes Baker automatio- ' ally becomes captain of the All-Con ference team. Wilson of Medford and Gillette of Grants Pass were tied with an equal number of vote for the end spots, outstripping all opponent. Wilson was undoubtedly chosen for hl sen sational pass snatching ability. In several games he having hauled down seemingly Impossible tosses. Gillette, according to the comment sent In with the votes submitted, was picked not only for his pass catching, but for hla defensive ability as well, and an almost urcanny ability to solve olays almost before they had formed. At the guard spot Baker had such a wide lead that Cox, of Klamath rails, took the opposite guard honors with only a few, but highly enthusi astic, votes from those who had a chance to see his sparkling play through the year much better than , did those In the Rogue valley. Tackles Close The tackle berths were a much v closer scramble. Bromley of Ashland, V Offord of Medford, Tlmma of Klam ath Falie and Wlnetrout.of Grants Psss being closely grouped, with Bromley having a slight edge. A mar gin of only one vote gave Offord the other tackle spot. Ttmma, a colored boy who waa playing his last year or the pelicans, was the lad who was one down to Offord. Tlmms Is a three-year letterman and played the entire season without a single re placement, surely an unusual record, but one duplicated by a team-irate. Taylor, who worked the entire season at center for the Pelicans. Taylor received a good group of votes at the center spot but not enough to overhaul Ashland's Scheld erelter. Taylor and stocks of Medford tied for the second team center hon ors, but due to Baker's overwhelm ing of the guar spot, and lack of candidates. Tsylor was switched to that position on the second tesm. tkosc knowing his playing best as serting that he could play either po sition with equal facility. In the backfleld the widest lead was piled up by Prultt at fullback for Orar ta Pass, with Glovanlnl of Klam ath Falls giving him a good race for that honor. The splintering drlvea of Prultt accounted for much of the Caveman yardage, Bnd his kicking was outstanding. Olovsnlnl was eas ily the suit of the Klamath Falls at tack, and hla selection as first team all-conference halfback will come as no surprise to those who saw him In action. t.lovanlnl Honored Glovanlnl was a Junior this fall. and will be back as the beak of the Pelican attack aealn next year. He found himself thla year, hla first season In the backfleld, although he earned a letter In 1935 aa a substl tute lineman. He was the ace kicker and pawer of the squad from over the mountain. The selection of Charlca Warren of Ashland lor quarterback came some thirw a a surprise, bvause of the rabbtt-iezed Lithlsn's small size What he lacked in sir he made up in eluslreness and the pickers gave 4 Mm a good number of votea.
