It was regaled today by Coach Bill Bowerman a he released the 137 schedule. They sre Hood River, Bend and Eugene, and each Is considered far snd away the most poweiful ag gregation In Its respective section of Oregon. Other teems to tangle with Med ford sre Oranta Pass, Ashland and Klamath Falls, Southern Oregon con ference members, snd Roaeburg Those gsmes will be played away from home. A tentative battle with Eureka high la also slated for tbe local stadium, and Coach Bowerman said he was attempting to line up an opener for the last week In Sep tember, also to be staged here. Three Home Games. The wsy the schedule stsnds now, Medford will play three games In their own bsckysrd and four away from home, with all three confer ence encounters being staged In their opponent' lair. If the Eureka affair Is billed, there will be four home games, and If an opponent can be found for September 25, fans will see the Tigers In five appear ances on the local turf. The 1037 slate Is considered the most killing ever attempted by a Medford team. Bend, Eugene and Hood River were all champlona of their respective district last season, snd with each school losing few let termen, they are again figured the clnss of their sections. Commenting on the "killer" sched ule, which he negotiated with the Idea of giving his team the moat representative array of battlea over attempted by, not only Medford, probably, but any team In Oregon, Coaoh Bowermsn stated he could not see one soft spot, with the pos sible exception of Roseburg. Hard Tests Listed. He named Eugene high's Axmen, the Klamath Falla Pelicans and Bend's Lava Bears as probably the toughest test of 'all, but called the traditional Ashland game, "undoubt edly one of our tallest hurdles," Highlight of the campaign will be the Eugene gome here on Tiionks glvlng day. Coached by Frit Krlsler. the mighty Axmen pounded through su undefeated season last year, ana blasted Medford. 44-0. for the Tigers' worst defeat In 16 years. Eugene hss Its entire tesm bick, ond is expected to find no opposition In the Wlllem ette valley, nor In the entire State, for that matter. In elating Hood River for October 3, here, Coach Bowerman picked the outfit that lost sesson played Jef ferson high of Portland on Turkey day for the mythical state title. The Applcplckers were undefeated until that time. More than one-half the team returns this fall, and Coach Jimmy Carr expeots the greatest team in history. New llend Coach. Bond hlah. undefeated last sea- sou, although tied by Klamath Falls. will be ooached by Johnny Lonaani, former teammate of Coach Bower man at the University of Oregon The Lava Boars, big and powerful, return almost Intact for the 1037 cumpulgn. The game will be here October 30. Londahl succeeds Jerry Llllle this year, the latter accepting a Portland high school post. With those three teams scheduled. Medford will face the strongest out fits of the Willamette valley, the Columbia river basin, and custom Oregon. And, thst Is saying nothing of Klamath Falls, Ashland and Oranta Pass, which will all be tremendously stronger thsn last year. May Play at Mgllt. Regarding the possibility of play ing one or more gamea under the arc lights, the Medford coach said that the Hood River, Eureka (If definitely slsted), and Bend battles might be stsged at night, the Isst nsmed depending somewhat on the weather.
