GUARD SITUATION
BOYS ILL HARD
Linemen Get Severe Course
in Blocking As Game
With Hood River Nears
Backfield Encouraging
Coach BUI Bowerman, as he ham
mers his Medford high school Black
Tornado through furious practice
sessions In preparation for their night
football game with Hood River high
here next Friday night, Is still plenty
worried about the guard situation.
In fact, the mentor became so
disgusted with the antics of the guy
who are supposed to come out of
that line In a hurry and knock
someone down for keeps, that he
kicked' over the traces at the end
of s gruelling workout yesterday
afternoon and ordered the entire
team to get to the dressing room
and out of his sight.
No fooling, Bowerman was fit to
be tied. "Our guards are so terrible,"
he gritted, "that they make the
whole squad look bad.'
Drill On mocking.
Yesterday's drill consisted of block
ing, blocking and more blocking for
the linemen and maneuvers destined
to break ball-carriers away from
would-be tacklers. Backfield Coach
Ed Klrtley worked his charges on
pivoting away from danger, and
seemed fairly well satisfied with the
manner In which they assimilated
and put Into practice that knowl
edge. Not so Read Coach Bowerman, with
tils linemen. Shoulder blocks, crow
body blocks, straight-ahead blocks
and every variety of blocks the chief
drilled his forwards on. It was man-to-man
for awhile, then two-on-one.
Then, two teams lining tip for actual
orlmmage, with blocking again
stressed to the nth degree.
Yesterday. Wally Brl, Gene Archi
bald, John Chllders, Sam Richardson,
and Scrip ter were tried at the guard
slots, and all, according to the head
man, have so much to learn It is
pity. Seversl different combina
tions were sent Into offensive sctlon
during scrimmage sessions on the
baseball field and none of them were
satisfactory. They weren't blocking.
and as result, the backfield wna
having a tough time getting any
place.
Bowman Oeti Away.
Jack Bowman, working at both
left and right half, broke loose for
several nifty gallops, but It was
luslnly because of his own ability
and not good blocking that sprung
him loose. The speedster, by the
way, appears to be one of those
slashing, smashing, nigged ball-pack
ers of the Boh Smith type. Given
some down-field help, he will go and
go plenty this season.
The offensive forward wall spread
out, to start things, with Red Root
and Don Montelth At the ends. Hu
bert Santo and Dan Erheart at the
tackles, Scrlpter and Erl at the
guards and Prentice, center. The
guards were changed several times.
In the backfield, Jack Hill, Bowman,
Warren Bayllsa, Willie Caples, Shorty
Campbell, Rod Stead and Bob New
land saw action.
On defense. Miller and Wilson were
at the ends, Dale Howard and Bar
row were at the tackles, Archibald
and Chllders were at the guards, and
Baker was at center. Several shifts
were made from time to time, with
defensive linemen being tronsfcrred
to nffenne and vice versa.
Bobby Ett Inner, blocking quarter
back and left hair, took things easy
yesterday favoring a slightly injured
knee received In the nlumnl game
last Saturday.

ball game of the

urday to Worth

North Bend has
seldom been ex

conclusion to
draw after the
game was that

would moat cer
tainly be the

weak sister of the conference. How

straight from the field of battle, those

Our Informant Lb Captain Lee Bown
of the state polios, who last Saturday
witnessed Grunts Pass receive-what,
to all appearances, was a surprise
setback. There was very little surprise
stuff about that bull game though,
nays Cap Bown. North Bend slapped
a great machine on the field, one of
the finest high school machines he
had ever seen, and It was far from
a disgrace to be beaten by the Coast
outfit. Powered by a huge fullback
transfer from Nebraska, Captain Bown
stated that North Bond would ex
tend any high school team In the
state, and whack most of them de
cisively. On the other hand, while look
ing rather slow-footed and rag
ged, he Informed that the rove
meii appeared to nmess plenty of
material which was almost cer
tain (o start rolling before the
season was done for. They are all
big guys, he stated, and as soon
on they learn a few more funda
mentals are hound to he tough.
Me said the team did a great job
In holding the North itriul pow

Grants Pass, It will be remembered,
tied with Klamath Falls for the con

Ashland and the Pelicans while fall

Prultt, all -con fere nee fullhaok and
Art Wlnetrout, gigantic tackle, along
with several others, . the Cavemen
were not figured to have a great deal
of say-so in the race this season. But.
If what Captain Bown says Is true
and If vague rumors that have wnfted
to our ears are well-founded. Orants

knocking at the door.

national pastime, which Is still rag
Ing In the coast and major leagues
and which bad Its final fling for this
neck of the woods at Grants Pass last
Sunday when all-star teams of Jack-
son and Josephine counties struggled
through a double-header. A really
fine exhibition of pitching thus es
caped more than routine notice and
we are more than glad to make what
amends are possible now.
We moan the ball game turned In
by young Larry Pepper on the mound
for the Jackson county nine. Working
in the first game of the twin bill,
and after almost a two-month vaca
tion from hl5h hard ones and curves.
Pepper went In thero and set the
heavy-clouting Josephine county out
fit down with five measly hits and
one run. A great exhibition In Itself,
but here Is what la far more Inter
esting: Popper, who only this year be
linn to play serious baseball, de
fenterl Bill tanning, who this
season was a member of the EI
Paso tram In the class D Arl-xnna-Texas
league, where he won
13 and Inst 11 games. If that's
not pretty good pitching ror s
youngster not yet 20 years old,
we'll eat all the hasehlts you ran
explode In this direction. It was
a real mound duel, with Larry,
as above mentioned, giving up
five blows and La lining being
nicked for eight. To show his
superiority In every respect, Pep
per sliced two safeties off the
Lnnnlng delivery and made him
self much hated hy opposing
players In all departments.
Larry waa talking to us yesterday
and remarked on how he would like
to attend the training camp spon
sored by the Cincinnati Reds In Bend
next month. Which, to our way of so-
called thinking, would be the smart
est thing ho ever did. Under the keen
eyes of big league scouts who will be
hand at the csmp, Larry will
Uy have a chance to go some
where If he displays what It takes,
which Is a "swift" and a hook. On
the latter point, there would be no
argument, because that Pepper dlpay-
do Is almost aa good as they come
While not so terribly fast. Pepper Is,
nevertheless, probably speedy enough
to attract the average scout's glance,

Outfielder Rupert Thompson and
the San Dleso Padres wero one up
on the Portland Beavers today after
taking the 10-lnnlng opening game
of the Pacific Const league title
series, 4 to 8.
Thompson's second home run of
the day was the deciding run. His
first homer accounted for all of the
other Padre runs. He hit It In the
third lnnlns with Pitcher Wally He
bert and Shortstop George Myatt on
the pathways.
Portland scored runs In the sixth
and seventh Innings to tie the count,
but following a precedent he set
early In the season Thompson sent
the funs home when he hit for the
circuit with one sway In the last ol
the tenth.
San Diego got only four hits off
two Portland pitchers. Ad Xilska and
Bill Thomas, but two of them were
Thompson's homers. Hebert was nick
ed for seven hits. He Is the only
southpaw on the Pndre pitching stoff

Yankees Favored in Dope
To Capture Subway Series
By OAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK, Sept. 29 JP There being no further serious argumei t
about the winner of the National league pennant. It becomes fashionable
once again to start comparing the talent of those two colossal New York
Institutions, the "Jlnts" and the Yankees.
Which will win the second "sub
way series" In as many years, start
ing a week from today? The dope, all
things being considered, must favor
the Yankees, run-away champions of '
the American league, to repeat last
year's alx-gnme victory over Colonel j
Bill Terry's slickers. I
Boasting the greatest collection of !
sluggers in baseball, the Yanks have
systematically bludgeoned the life out '
of the opposition in their league. They j
bit with all the power (and, inciden
tally, the grace) of a ten-ton truck i
Their ad misers say they will, once1
again, strew the Giants all over the !
Bronx.
Those who swear by the National
leaguers' brand of baseball tight !
pitching, fast fielding, ha Ed fighting
say it's going to be o different story ;
this time. They think Carl Huboell !
and Cliff "Mountain Music" Melton,'
two of the greatest southpaws ever i
to pitch for one club at the same I
time, will slow the Ruppert rough-
housers down to a toddle starting'
next Wednesday.
That la going to be the drama or
the series, when Melton and Hub
bell and then Hal Schumacher (prob
ably In that order) start trying to
slip strikes past Dlmagglo, Dickey and
Gehrig. There will be the danger of
an explosion on every pitch. It's up
to the Giants' pitchers to see that It
doesn't happen. Can they?
The ability of the Yankees' two
aces, Vernon Gomez and Charles
"Red" Ruffing, to hold down the:
Giants' scoring won't be quite so im
portant. Nobody, including the Giants
themselves, expects the Terry-men to
go on a batting rampage, though they
have been getting runs In surprising
clusters lately. They will be playing
in the big series for one run and de
pending on pitching and smart field
ing to protect It.
Over Confidence
Defeated Beavers
CORVALLIS. Ore., Sept. 29. (AP)
Attributing the Oregon State Bea
vers' defeat at Moscow last Saturday
largely to "over confidence," Coach
Lon Stlner today planned several
shifts In the lineup before taking his
football squad south this week end.
Bfn Ell. sophomore reserve full
back, and Hal Hlgglns. left halfback,
who have been out with Injuries,
were expected to return to atrengthen
the squad this week.
