Sport Graphs Billy Hulen 8&yi: Many Shifts Noted Among Coaches of Class B Schools They can talk all they want to about the rnpld coaching turnover In colleges and universities, but In com parison to the 3 shake-up that took place In the 10 Jackson coun ty class B high schools since last spring, the high salaried college mentors can be con a 1 d e r e d as having practically lifetime Jobs. Of the 10 sec ondary high schools of the county, only three wilt this year be Billy n coached by men who handled athletics In 1936-37. Seven of the Institutions will have new coaches at the helm, while one of them Jacksonville will havo its nthlctlc destiny guided by a transfer from another county school. All other new mentors will be fresh from other pastures. Ken llulhert at Central Point, Kay NrtiRurt nt Kagle Point and Hosi ne ljirrn at lint to Falls are the lone holdover from lust yt'itr, Itoh Wood, liiht year Ht Phoenix IiIrIi, has shifted his scene of endeavor to Jacksonville where he Buccceri (net Til unci I, roup to the northern part of the state to a larger school.

Ho did Nengart at Kngle Point. Now for the list of new coaches who will tHko care of basketball, base ball and track In the other county Institutions. At Tnlent, where Linn Mills left to teach In Roosevelt grade school here after producing the county baseball championship club this spring, will be Bernard Apple- gate, a graduate of Southern Oregon Normal. Taking Bob Woods' place at Phoenix will be Ralph Mlchener. With the appointment of Dennis McQuIrc as principal, a old Hill went out and hired John Essman to do 1U athletic coaching.

Wf!WrwPfyty-ss mm i to Inaugurate six -man football at Ills school this year with hopes other coaches will follow suit so that regular games can be played. Replacing B, V. Empey at Sams Valley high school will be George Nleml, and completing the list, W. B. Dennis, principal, will probably do the coaching at Roguo River, where Ramsdell attended to the matter last year. In the four class A high schools of southern Oregon, only one will this season be coached by a new man. Arthur ("Snowy") Oustafson was hired by Klamath Falls from Milton Preewater when Les Avrlt resigned last winter, and will direct the Pell can pigskin activities. Grants Pass Is standing pat on Loren Tut tie, Ash land on Skeet O'Connell and Med ford on BUI Bowerman. O'Connell Is starting his second year at Ashland and Bowerman his third at Medford. Tuttle has been at the Climate City for several seasons. One other major coaching change of Interest to Medfonlltes took place when fJeorge Harring ton nan appointed to the local Junior high position as Kuss .tchcMin was moved up to the high school starr. Wall) Klckert remains as coach of Ht. Mary's teams. I, Inn Mills will teach Roosevelt grade school youngsters what he knows and Kay HunHker will do the same at Lincoln. While on the subject of coaching turnover, we recall that since 1920, when high school athletics really started to gain momentum after a lull during the war, Medford high has had six mentors and Ashland, Its bitter rival, five. That seems to be a pretty good average. In other words, in 18 years, Medford has aver aged a new coach every three seasons while Ashland's average Is slightly better every three and three-fifths seasons, to be exact. Most colleges, we'll wnger, can't beat those records. In order, Medford ball teams have been mentored by Hollls Huntington, Eddie Durno, Prink cMlison. Merle Hagan, Darwin Burgher, and the present ' coach, BUI Bowerman. Ash land, since 1920, has had Walter Hughes, Russell Crlpe. Jack Bliss, Don Kaber and Skeet O'Connell, doing his stuff now. Of all those past nine coaches, only two have advanced to college posts. Calllson, of course, has made the biggest hop, with his Uni versity of Oregon varsity Job. Don Paber is coaching Albany college. Durno Is a Medford physician. Hunt ington is out of the game, Burgher Is coaching a high school team In Idaho and Hagen Is reported to be connected with a small college fac ulty In the northern part of the state. Former Ashland high mentors are occupied at present In the following capacities: Hughes, Insurance sales man in Denver, Colo.; Bliss, coach of Oakland, Ore., high school; Crlpe, ; teaching In Qleudale, Cal., high school and handling track and base- ball.

Sept. 17. (UP) "Pick an all-star team," repeated Steve O'Neill, Cleveland pilot, as he sat in the Indians' dugout yesterday and watched the Yankee bombers at batting practice. "Well, this Is a good spot to pick one. Halt my team Is right out there now." O'Neill took time out for a few ; 1 " : minutes while he went over In his mind all tho prominent players In the American league. "Well. 111 start with the catcher, he said. "There he Is up there at bat, Bill Dickey. A dangerous hitter and a capable workman behind the bat If you want two catchers I'll choose Luke Sewell of the White Sox for my No. 2 man. "The pitching staff Is easy to pick I'll take Johnny Allen for my first choice. He's won 11 games without being beaten despite seven weeks out of the lineup because of an opera tion for appendicitis. The next two men I'd tako from the Yankees, Ruf fing and Qomez. Ruffing has been a life-saver to the Yankees and Gomez has made a fine comeback. My No. 4 man may be a surprise but I take Lefty Grove." O'Neill hesitated ror a moment and then said: "I don't know who to take for first base. It's between Gehrig and Green berg. You can't go wrong on either man. But It doesn't make much difference, put down either of them. "Oehrlnger la a standout at sec ond base. I guess he's Just about the most valuable player in the league this season. For shortstop I take my own man, Lyn Lary, who's having fine year. He's fielding well and batting close to .300. For third base I pick Red Rolfe of the Yankees without hesitation. He's a muchly under-rated ball player.". O'Neill didn't waste any time pick ing his outfield. Dlmagglo of the Yanks In center. Gerald Walker of the Tigers in right and Wally Moses of the Athletics in left. Dhnagglo Is Gehrlnger's only rival for the most valuable player award. Walker la amonj the leading five hitters, and drives in a lot of runs. Moses is a star on a weak club He would be ranked considerably higher If he were on a first division club." SPECIALS. P.

MERCHANDISE BLACKTAIL DEER DISPLAYED AT LAMPORT'S STORE; SECOND RATE OUTFITS SCRAMBbE SITUATION T FLAG RACE By the Associated Press The Pacific coast baseball race re sembled a scrambled egg today victories by second division outfits made the going uncertain for the leaders. Seattle's weather-beaten Indians who a few weeks ago threatened to push the San Francisco Missions out of the cellar, won their third in a row from the leading Sacramento Senators last night, 7 to 0. The loss cut the Senators' lead to three games with only four left to play. The Missions, definitely the only team in the league certain to finish In Us present position, completed three double plays and defeated third place San Diego for the third straight time, 4 to 3. San Francisco's Seals, now In sec ond place mathematically, has 1 chance to finish on top. They defeat ed Los Angeles for the third time this week, 8 to 7. Portland lost to Oakland, 7 to 4, because of a brace of home runs, but nevertheless clung lo fourth place by half a game. Figuratively San Francisco can win 2.500 first place money by winning nil of Its remaining games If Seattle defeats Sacramento four more times. Los Angeles still has a chance for fourth place if it can win three of the games left and Portland loses three. Adding to the scramble San Diego can get back into second place If it wins three of Its games and San Francisco loses three. But to cinch the title Sacramento needs but one win provided San Francisco accommodates by losing one. ARWISWKO'S DEFOE IN FOURTH NEW YORK. Sept. 17.
