Billy Hulen Sayi: Not Good, Not Bad Present Outlook For Tiger Talent Although this current blast of hot- tlsh weather la far from conducive to thought of football. Just for a con trary gestura lets take a gander at the quantity and quality of pigskin performers who will report to Montor Bill Bowerman this fall, and which he will use to buck that "sudden death" schedule drawn for him. From this far-away vantage point, and strictly unofficial, It appears the situation could be considerably worse than It already la. Of course, Coach Bowerman will have no tackles nor guards returning and only one ex perienced center, but the Tlgera seem well fortified at end and terrifically powerful In the backfleld. Fred Stevens will return for action at the snapper-back position, and Don Montelth, Don Root and Bob Wilson will answer the opening practice call at the ends. Those are the lone re turning lettermen In the line. Bow erman saya he will spend plenty of sleepless nights worrying about the huge gap left In the center of the forward wall by the graduation of four tackles, three guards and one center, but It is the great array cf mail-carriers that keeps him from ending it all thla summer. Talk about your speedy back fields; Bobby Ettlnger and Jack Bon-man, both members or the track team In the sprints, at the hall-tarrying left halfback post: Jack lllll, another fleet-footed ilali mnn, In the right halfback slot; and big Eldon Grow, who will be yanked out of his guard position and stuck In there at fullback. And Grow, the Med ford head man says. Is the fast est of the lot. And tougher than all get-out. to boot. ' In the blocking quarterback posi tion, Bowerman la tentatively fig uring on Don Root. He says he will shift him from the line to the back- field spot because of his great block ing ability, and because Bill Dickey, Inexperienced but more willing, will probably turn Into one sweet end. That, In short. Is a hasty glance at the material Bowerman will have on his hands come next September. Not too good and not too bad Is the way the coach describes the situ ation. Major problem will be the development of strong tackles, most vital spot In the tine, and some good guards; guarda who can block like the dickens. All told, the Tigers lose IS lettermen from last year's outfit. Including four tackles, three guards, one center, one end, one right half back, two left halfbacks and one full back. With Bend, Eugene, Hood River, Klamath Falls, Ashland and (Irants Pasa on the schedule, and all gunning for the local,. Bow erman doesn't hesitate In stating he will have to beg, borrow or steal some power for the middle of the forward wall to keep from getting whipped more than once. In thla modern day of high-pressure, competitive sports, the cry is for speed, speed and more speed. In football, It's your racing backs that pay off; In baseball your fast-ball pitcher or dashing base runner; In tennis the fire-ball service; In golf the distance you can whack the pel let, which depends on the speed It attains when It gets under way. And, so It goes. Jesse Owens, when he flew over 100 yards of cinders In 8.4 seconds, was really traveling, but breaking hla speed down to miles per hour, the Negro flash was only making about 30 m.p.h. Equipoise, the great race horse, covered the mile In 1:34.4, 10 miles an hour faster than Owens ran. Now. let's get Into real speed ex hibitions. A golf ball, for Instance, can be socked off the tee at the rate of 120 m.p.h.. by top fllghtera, Bill Tllden. greatest tennis player who ever lived, smashed from his forehand at a speed of 118 miles an hour. Bob Feller, Cleveland's youth ful pitcher, fogs his high hard one over the platter at 130 m.p.h,, and van Mungo, Brooklyn hurler. delivers his smoker at approximately the same rate or speed. But It remains for Jack Dempsey, the old Manassa Mauler, to really show the boys speed. . When Dempsev clicked them on the button with his len nook, traveling nine or ten inches with deadly effect, that fltt was moving at a speed of ISO miles an hour, joe Louis, present so-called heavyweight champion, punches con siderably slower about 127 m.p.h., to be exact. Gugllelmo Marconi, Inventor of wireless telegraphy, was born of an Italian father and Irish mother. MERRICK'S POOL SWIM IN DRINKING WATER Dally: I p. m. to 10 p. m.
