FOR TIGER SQUAD
IN COMING FALL
Hood River, Bend and Eu
gene Listed Among Foes
Three Games at Home,
Four On Other Grids
Three of the toughest high school
football teams lr the state will face
off against MiKiford high's Black Tor
nado on f:.e local field thle fall. 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.
The schedule follows:
Sept. 25 Open.
Oct. 3 Hood River at Medford.
Oct. 6 Medford at Roseburg.
Oct. IS Eureka at Medford (ten
tative.) Oct. 22 Medford at Klamath Falla.
Oct. SO Bend at Medford.
