PAGE FOUR fEDFOTin MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORH OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1937 REVIVED HUSKIES! TO Washington Again Ready to Take On All Comers Lack of Reserve Strength Is Main Trouble By Frank Gorrle SEATTLE. Sept. 33. () Tip, yip, Jlp. The University of Washington Bui' ky la barking gridiron challenge again after crawling around with lta tall between Its legs following the Inglorious Rose Bowl whipping It took from the Pittsburgh Panther last New Year's day. Time and kind words have healed tba wounds and the "big brute" is ready to take on all comers again In defense of the Pacific coast confer ence championship. Ii you listen to loose gossip Wash ington has as good If not better ball club than the undeleated conference winners. Lack Reserves But If you take the time and trou ble to 'analyze the situation you find that some other team has a swell chance to lift th'e 1937 crown. Trouble la spelled with eight let ters "reserves." Despite the loss of a whole back field and three main cogs of the line, however, the first string stacks up aa a powerful machine. Coach Jimmy Phelan will admit that. WasblnRtona immortal oackiieia of Logg, Cain, Haines and Mowogros- kl: all-American guard Max eiarce rich, center John Wlatrak and tackle Obuek Bond have departed. "We aren't going to replace those fellows by a country mile," said the ooach, "but we have kids who will come through on the first string no doubt about It. The reserves are something else again we're awful weak In spots. We have nine games In u many weeks and you have to have reserve strength with that sort of schedule." Coach Fears Injuries Phelan estimated the Huskies might get Into the first division with a struggle It not hit too bard by In juries. His worries are fullbacks, quarter backs and tackles to bsck up the regulars. Bill Hill, a great sophomore pros pect at fullback, may ba kept on the bench all season because of a spring practice Injury. That means groom ing a sophomore halfback. Don Thompson, to relieve Al C raver, touchdown scoring ace. Another sophomore, Chsrles Bech tol, was In line for second-string sig nal barking. An Injury got him, and a guard, Prank Oerretson, la getting a, course of aprouta Just In case, "If Bechtol comes through we might line up a good second backfleld com tolnatlon." said Phelan. "Otherwise I'm afraid to think about It. Tackles Scarce The ooach la afraid he will find tackles more scarce than touchdowns, Only five were available on a squad of more than 50. The main backfleld will line up with Chuck Newton, quarter; Capt Prlta Wasko'wlts, and Jlmmle John- aton, halfbacka and Cruver, fullback. Although rated aa second-stringers lsst year they did more than their share of the work In the climb to the championship.

Dr. Orlmm's medicine, the one that has done such wonders for the cocky Cubs on past afternoons. Is a well adjusted mixture of garrulous Gabby Hartnett's war club and smooth flowing relief pitching by veteran Charley Root. Gabby In Form The Giants got both yesterday, to the delight of d4,807 Chicago custom ers and the dismay of Gotham's rooters for a nickel world series. Garrulous Gabby, he of the wag ging tongue and the flailing ahllalah, was In his best form. Missing only a homer on his triumphant tour, the big Cub backstop smashed out triple with the bases loaded, a single that put him In position to score, and a double that drove home the final nail In the Giants coffin and the final run In the Cubs' 7-6 vic tory. While the Cubs and Giants battle tooth and nail to settle their pen nant Issue, the Tanks sit still and ease In.

Instead, this territory will be served by a camp at Bend to be held October 10- 14, Inclusive, and like 1 a a t year when the Reds moved Into Med ford for a week. all national paa- timers bet ween the agea of 17 and 22 are urged to take advan- Blllr Kuleav tage of the free opportunity to display their ability before the keen eyes of several na tlonally famous scouts. It's little wonder that Cincinnati decided to pass up Medford this yesr. Bobby Wallace, present msnager ot the club who was appointed fol lowing the ousting of Chuck Ores- sen recently, told us last year that this was the poorest attended train ing camp of any held by the Reds. Several days last fall there were not enough ball players at the high school field to form two teams, and twice that we remember of. Wallace himself got out there In right field to fill In. He's nearly 70 years old. too. However, , whether the camp held here last season was poorly attended or not, the Cincinnati Beds certainly got their money's worth. They picked up I'aul Gehrman, a big, husky, right handed pitcher who had traveled from Bend to attend the school, and the youngster, after a great season In the class B Piedmont league, Is now a member or the Beds hurling corps. He Is Just one Illustration of the tremen dous opportunity offered young ball players with ability when they attend these training camps staged by the National league team and Its farm clubs. Notice of the Reds' decision to transfer their activities to the east- ern Oregon city this autumn waa contained In a letter from Charles E. Chapman of Ortnda, Cai,, Pacific coast agent for the Beds and their farm teams. He urgently requested that all Inquiries about the camp be addressed to him at box 904. Orlnda via Berkeley, Cal. He also pointed out that there was no tui tion of any kind and that young ball pKyers were asked only to fur nish their own shoes, gloves and uni forms and pay their own transporta tion and living expenses. All other equipment and expert coaching will be furnished by the Cincinnati ball club. Chapman, In his letter, reveals some Interesting Information as to the excellent chance offered young ball players to break Into organized baseball by attending the camps. He stated that since 1034, when the Reds first Inaugurated their train ing camp system In the far west. some SO boys had broken Into the game through the system. He named several as being astonishingly suc cessful, they being Les Scsrseila, present Cincinnati first baseman, and Lee Grlssom, the sensational Reds' southpaw pitcher, In addition to Gehrman. Many others, he said, were In class AA, A, B, C, or D leagues and were on their way to faster company. He especially Invited play era from the smaller communities who seldom have the chance to per form before big league scouts. All camps on the coast this year. of which there will be six In addi tion to that at Bend, will be in charge of Mickey Shader, manager of the Blsbee club In the Arizona-Texas league, a Red farm. Bobby Wallace, as before mentioned the present skip per of the National league club, win also be on hand as will Ben Ttncup. former major league pitcher and a full-blooded Indian. Other scouts and managers in the Cincinnati chain system will be present. At all camps, four or five games a day of live Innings each will be played, with promising players being offered con tracts with one of the many farm teams In the Cincinnati system, n was by that very method that Paul Gehrman last year got his big chance and made good from the start. We have no Idea how many young ball players from southern Oregon will attend the camp. Maybe there won't be any. But, here are a few that we would sincerely like to see take a shot at breaking Into organ ized ball, even If only with a class D club: Larry Pepper, pitcher; Dick Lewis, shortstop, both from Medford; Cliff McLean. Ashland catcher and Chuck Ostrom. centerflelder from Grants Pass. All are. we believe, ready for class D ball, at least, while McLean could orobablv step couple of notches higher If he were so Inclined. CORVALLIS. Sept. 22.
