Klnmath Palls scored once in the second on hits by Bernsdeau and King and a flelder'a choice.

Crescent City was stopped only once during the year, Bob Hardy and his Atniand uimons turning the trick at Crwcut City July 1 1. With that ono exception, the club of MamtRor Roy Deo en countered little difficulty In blast ing Its wuy to the pennant in Its first year of competition In the cir cuit. Atihlnnd, mainly because of Bob Hardy, finished in second place, one game behind the winners and one game in front of the third place outfits. A two-game slump against Grants Pass and Crescent City meant the pennant to the Llthlnns. Medford. which let the pennant slide away last Sunday, has some consolation In the realisation that It knocked Grants Pass out of the clmmplon?hlp. Two of the Merchants thre defeats were at the hands oi the Cratera, Olendale and Roaeburg were simply outclassed during the second-halt chase, Rofteburg dropping all it bat tles and Olendale winning H pair from the Pirates.

Sport Graphs Billy Hnlert Sayi: Graybeal Destined for Important Role in Callison Squad Bob smith, himself far from a slouch at packing th mall goalward, I of the same opinion as this writer regarding the ball-carrying ability of dynamic little Jay Qraybeal, on of Headman Prink Calllson't choicest football morsels. Take It from Smith, who should know, the former Pendleton high school flash Is going to csusu many severe headaches among Coast con ference teams this coming campaign. In fact, if he runs for the varsity like he did for Honest John Warren's frosh outfit last season, you can place Oregon's Webfoot at least one, two, three In that tough round-robin slate. Those are Bmlth's sentiments and we heartily agree. "The only thing that'll stop Uraybeal." quoth Medford's own contribution to Oregon's Imck fleld, "is his size. He weighs only ulioilt 1(10, which is pretty light fur college f not 1m I. If he can stay In t icre without getting laid up, he's going to be plenty hard lo stop." Qrnybeal learned hi football at Pendleton high under Mark Temple, who In turn received his college ex perience at U. of O. under Prink Cal lison. When Oraybeal ended his prep plgsklnnlng, off he went to Eugene to carry on for his high school coach. His first year wearing the Lemon Yel low and Green, which wa last sea son, saw him make monkeys out of all opponents tangling with the Duck yearlings. We had the pleasure of witnessing the Oraybeal maglo In the Frosh -SONS battle at Grants pass under the lights, and came away from there muttorlng to ourselves. If memory serves correctly, the Pendleton flash ran to a pair of touchdowns from mora than Su yards out and hauled down two of Bob Smith's southpaw passes for scores, in addition, he tore oft Innumerabue minor gains of from 10 to 35 yards and was Just a big pain In the neck In general to the Ashlanders. He cracked up both Oregon State Rook battles with long breakaway gal lops nnd sprinted something like 90 yards against the University of Wash ington Babes to win for the Web foots. All In all, he had quite a sea son, and to state that Mr. Callison la banking heavily on him during the coming senson would be putting It mildly. One thing we have noticed, however. Is the dearth of pub licity the Gray heal innuliif has been receiving In 1 he I'orl land sheet, with the exception of one minor blast In the ureonlan, (he sophomore proport has been getting about as much space as a water hoy at Alhuny college. Apparently the wily Callison Is planning to spring Oni.-beul as sort nf a surprise on the hov, ulthough how am body could for get him after lat season's fresh man ramnatgn Is hewmd us. And. while giving Oraybeal this modest little aendoff. it might be well to mention that our own Bob Smith Is considered quite the pump kins of a pigskin performer up at the Eugene institution. As a matter of fact, they are already predicting that the local lefthander will turn Into another Byron Hulnos. if he does, that will be something because the ex-Unlvei-Mty of Washington half back was rated one of the best In the country for three years. Willie not the sensational runner that Oraybeal undlsputedly is. smith can hold his own In most any league. And, he throws one of the most ac curate left handed forward passes ever seen on this coast. That passing should help out Cftlllson's cream puff offensive punch considerably, al though It may be closer to a bras. knuckled offensive punch this sea son If alt his sophomore bavlu come through as expected. fimlth. who has worked In Crater lake national park and at Timber Product all summer, la In excellent shape. Practice officially starts at Eu gene, and at all Pnfcllc coast confer ence schools, September 8, but the local halfback will report to Callison about the first for limbering-up ex ercises, Bob Is slated for the right halfback post, and la literally champ ing at the bit to get underway. Southern California, California and Stanford are Smith's prediction a to the clubs that will be Oregon's toiwhest foes, with Oregon State and Wnjhlngton following close behind. As usual, the Web foots travel to Los Angeles for their U. S. C. battle and prayers are already being offered that there will be no more of that 830 business Tlist a s.'ertAlnly a tou;h break for Manfer Mike Balrovlek of the Craters to UXe last Sunday. After brlntnjr his club nht to the point i where It apparently had a great j ehanoe to (trab the Southern Onyon league pennant for the first time In years, the bottom dropped out of everything and the Craters fell twice before Crescent City to wind things up. Although not exactly heartbroken after the game, big Mike wa plenty blue and discouraged. He rea'.iy 1 umi uts club would tane the Chin ook and he was not aioue in that 1 t ...J,.. ME AND MY SHADOW, nunu Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis as he studies a knock out blow Id silhouette upon the wall and hopes the old saying about eominf events proves true on August 26. For on that night the Bomber risks bis boxing crown for the first time against Tommy Farr In New York. But the British heavyweight drinks his tea every afternoon and perhaps has found something In studying the leave. belief. All local tans were confident the Craters would win at least one game. But they didn't and that Is that. The season's over and you can't go back and play ball games again. Medford finished In a tie for third place with the Grants Pass Mer chant during th second-half, which Isn't so bad considering the set-up here. Handicapped all season by lack of employment for players, Balkovlck certainly turned In a fins managerial ft It Z- -f' Job, nevertheless. He deserves all the credit, and more too, that can be written, but It Is hoped that next year some kind providence will pro vide Jobs so that Medford can have a ball Mam that Is a ball team.
