PSOE FOUR arEPFOTtP MAIL TttlBUNE, MEPFOKD, TREGONT, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1937 mmmmmmmmmmsimim EARLY TRIAL OF PIGSKIN METRE College of Pacific In Opener Huskies Second Jones More Optimistic Than Usual Before Season ' By Robert Mroi, LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15. (AP) Loyal following of the glrdlron (or tune of university of Southern Cali fornia won't have to wait long this fall to find out If Howard Jones has football team. Last year the Trojan supporters tolled along In high glee through Oregon State. Oregon and Illinois be fore they pulled up and the thunder lrur herd began to pant for breath. Washington State held Troy to a scoreless tie and two weeas later cai Ifornla applied a 13 to 7 defeat as a dismal warning of further trouble head. The warning was well found ad and 5. C. wound up the season with two defeat and three tlea. NtfiFtr Team In Ooener. This year the agony. If there is to be any, won't he delayed. Headman Jones, who hasn't seen the Inside of the Rose Bowl, except as an ordinary spectator, since 1934, sends his lads against Alongo Sugg's college of the Pacific, In the opener, and then runs smack Into the powerful Washington Susklos. If the Huskies, arent enough, Ohio State come to town the next week. If the boys survive these two, watch out for Troy. ?' What has S. C. got this year! About ena hundred head of material, of which IS lettered In 1938. Chief mong . the missing are graduates Davie Da vta, sparkplug of the offense, and Capt. Oil Ruhn, center and mainstay of the line. Jones, picking California, Washing ton, Stanford and U. C. L. A. much In that order as the teams to beat In the Paclflo coast conference, Is a mite more optimistic at thfc stage of the season than last year. He won't go ae far as many Trojan friends, however, who definitely think S. C. la destined for greater things. Strong Front Wall Long an exponent of power plays, Jonas believes hts front wall, aver aging around 300 pounds, has more physical strength than last year. This would indicate that Troy will play much the same brand of football aa of yore, vague promisee of a more wide-open, attack notwithstanding. - ' The Trojan backtleld, as presently contemplated, will average around 1M pounds or less. Chief figure prom ises to be Ramblln' Amby Schlndler at quarter, with a durable sopho more, Bill Sangetar, likely to win honors at fullback In view of a bum knee owned by the reguler man for too Job, Angelo Pecclantl. All told. Jones has a well seasoned aggregation with abundant reserve strength. Whether It will be good enough to stand the strain of the conference's round-robin schedule re mains to be seen but you con get an early peep along about dusk on Oc tober 3 when the Husky-Trojan score la posted on the board.

A: Htf!Cv& Sport Graphs Billy Hnlen Sayi: Bowerman Expects Weak Defense arid Strong Offense Big and vital things are happen lng each and every afternoon out at Med ford high school, where Head Coach Bill Bow- mtmm mm lii ,11 erman and his two assistants, RusB Acbein and Ed Klrtley. are pounding plenty of foot ball Into some 40 candidates (or this season's edi tion of the Black Tornado. After attend' lng a two and a half hour and man - sized pig skin nractlce ves- DHiy Huien. terday. and get ting Head Man Bowerman 's personaa slant on the whole business, It be comes apparent to this informer that there have been seven major de velopments In the Tiger situation since opening day of practice. Bald developments are hereby Hated, though not In the .order of their Importance: (1) Coach Bowerman It worried about his defense. (3) Coach Bowerman Is not wor ried about his offense. (3) The boys really socked each other for the first time yesterday. (4) The unexpected return of Hu bert Santo increases the available lettermen to nine. (5) The unexpected failure of Bob Wilson to report for practice appar ently decreases the available letter men to eight. (6) All varsity positions are still wide open. (Bowerman la getting a few ideas, however.) (7) The .team spirit Is so good as to be almost unbelievable. Taking those seven develop mentH In order, we come face to face with the fact that Bower man Ik very far from satisfied with the way his line has been acting up. He ts wondering whether It will stand up under a concerted attack from such ball packers as Glovanlni of Klamath Falls and Steve Fowler of Ashland. "Development of a strong defen- 66 1-sgf slve line will be our major problem," the coach aald. "80 far. the line has not looked so good. They all have a lot to learn. They are not charging low enough, and if they don't get down there they will be rooted right off tfce field.- Bo far ae pass defense goes, there is little worry in the coaching staff, With the lightning-fast backfleld. the Messrs. Bowerman, Klrtley and Acheson are not afraid of aerials, It's strictly defense against running plays that Is causing gray hairs. That same backfleld la the cause of optimism among the coaches in the matter of getting touchdowns, "We'll be able to score this year, and that's a clhch," Bowerman pointed out. "If we can get more touch downs than our opponents, every thing will be fine. However, unless the forward wall gets tough on de fense, we are liable to be outscored, good backfleld notwithstanding." For the first time yesterday, hon est-to-good ness bodily contact was the order of the day. Bowerman used two lines and two sete of backs in strong-aide offensive maneuvers, and the boys really blocked and tackled. One set of ball-carrier consisted ot Santo In the blocking quarterback post. Jack Bowman In the mall-packing left halfback position. Jack Hill at right half and Bill Newland, sophomore, at full. Then, Ettlnger relieved Bowman, Eldon Grow went In at full, and Todd and Shorty Campbell alternated with Hill and Santo. One line spread out with Root and Miller at the ends. Ehrhart and Baker at .the tackles. Eti and Llnberg at the guards and Stevens at center. The other forward wall saw Thur man and Miller at the ends. Barrow and Bill Howard at the tacklea. Chll ders and Archibald at the guards, and Prentice at center. Hibert and Dale Howard were also used in the guard slots and Benford saw action at a tackle berth. Dickey and Mon telth relieved at end. The two lines alternated In defending against the backfleld thrusts. Big Hubert Santo, who lat year earned a letter at tackle and wasn't seriously expected to return to school, is back, however, and Coach Bowerman Is working him at the blocking quarterback position. Fast and tough, the coach expects him to fit In nicely back of the line. Bob Wilson, two year lettermsn at end and last season selected on the . all-conference eleven, checked out a suit at the -beginning of practice, but has not yet worked out. Whether he will be able to aee service this year Is doubtful. Bower man eald, because of work which Interferes with practice hours. Although the roarh has be gun to notice outstanding per formers in the week the squad has been working, out, he stated yesterday that all positions were still wide open, and would go to the best ball players regard less of past reputation. Several sophomores and newcomers were FIVE m TWO LEAVES FOUR" WRONG? Well, yes and no. The arithmetic of your school days taught that "If Mary had five dollars and spent two ..." three dollars remained. But that is mathematics not shopping!

We must sharp en our buying wits . . . ascertain where the dollars of extra value lurk . . . tak five dollars to town and get much more for the money spent.

I looking good, the coach Mid. and I would undoubtedly see action If i they continued the pace they have been setting. ....The Tigers won 8. lost 8 and tied 3 ball games last season and one of the best Indications that their stock is on the upswing Is the re markable spirit the entire squad Is showing at practice. Yesterday, after a downright savage workout, the grid men swarmed into the dressing rooms and figuratively raised the grandstand roof with loud- song and staccato chatter. It was the real winning team spirit, and It brought a large grin to Bowerman's face. "When they can go through a tough workout like today and atlll have enough left to engage In the r SO LONG. 2 LONG . rTm Every drop of Barclay's Private Stock Straight Rye whiskey says goodbye to all haste for 2 long years!

So ended yesterday's workout o the 1937 Tigers who, this depart ment fully believes, are going to b a pretty salty gang of footballers before this season Is finished. As a parting shot, It might be well to mention that Bobby Ettlnger, ths two-year - lettermsn halfback, and Jack Bowman, who may develop Into the finest back of them all, were doing some sweet passing yesterday. Also, that Jack Hill, from his right halfback post, was doing some nice receiving. So it looks like the locals will have .something to offer up stairs aa well as on the ground floor.
