Taming Sport Graphs ease Bill; Holra Sayi: Tigers Display Great Promise In Initial Test Quick, Watson, Uke the crying towel away from here. Such seems about the shortest ana best method of describing the feel- m lngs of Co on J BtH Bowermsm I following Md- ford high's sur prise loss to Hood River Friday night. ! Naturally there Is no Joy in Bow er man's heart to day. Bobby Doth- man, one of the grandest prep football p 1 a y ers to ever step foot In these parts, stilly Bntest took care of that wllb hla rifle- arm forward passing shots. But, for being ready to announce he is "building for next year," the usual cry of coaches whose ball clubs have taken the rap, Bowerman Is not hav ing some, thank you. As a matter of cold and calm fact, the head man has developod a startl ing streak of optimism and. believe It or not, it was born during and Immediately after the game that ssw his Black Tornado blow Itself Into a mere whisper. He may not be riding in the clouds, but neither it he lan gulshlng in the cellar. The occasion for the Medford coach's optimistic outlook It first; the performance of line figured to he Just a tiny hit sieve-like, but which proved It self more on the rock-like va riety, and second; the perform ance of an offensive backfleld which showed only one weakness, that of not following the Inter ference. That backfleld, rated previously as having what It takes, proved it. Although the Black Tornado lost a football game 14-13, the aame game revealed that Coach BUI Bowerman and his staff will not have to lose any more sleep over worrying how the Tiger forward wall la going to stand up under serious battering. From and to end, the Red and Black line was entirely satisfactory. Don Root and Don Montelth, flankmen. both turned In a great game. So did Hubert Santo and Dan Ehrhart, tackles, and Prentloe and Stevens, centers. But, the moet enlightening and plaaturablt situation of all waa the manner In which Oene Archibald and Wally Erl came through at the ruard alots. Considered the weak links In the front line chain, the pair worked their heads off and were tough enough. Statistics of the game showed ho superior the Tiger line waa to thst of Hgod Rlw'i, During the first half, the visitors gBlned only 30 yards through the Medford forwards. while those name linemen were open ing huge hole through which Ttpei backs raced (or 17a yards, net. All told. Hood Rtver gained 70 yards on the ground, but 50 of them came in the aecond half, while Medford, fran tic, was employing a five-man line In an attempt to halt a barrage ol forward passes. There la no team that can uae a five-man Una and effectively halt a running attack. Behind the line, Medford'a quar tet of ball-packers ran all over the field. It proved it had epeed, rug gedneM and shiftiness. It also proved It needed considerable drilling In ataylnK with Its blockers. Time after time, Hill, Orow. Campbell, and even stUnger, nwung wide around end and. Instead of following a small army of wipers-up on out, cut back In to be smeared. Only once did that prove effective; Ettlnger broke loose on a cut-back and went AO yards to the goal line. Every other time the mall -carrier left his interference, be was knocked over. In Bttlngtir'a case he did It by pure speed more than anything elM, literally outraclng the Hood River secondary. Naturally, the reason for Medford 5:r Texas Terror on Tonight's Card floss to Hood River was spotted by even the greenest spectator. No for ward past defense. When Dethman started firing those bullets the Tigers were paralyzed. And, here It the reason i Brlnt Pinch, member of the coach ing etaff. wat present at Hood River Friday before last when the Apple pickers were beaten by Csmas, Wn. high school, 13-7. In that game. H.VVl SlM .ttMw ..n.Tlu IPUDITI. ' forward passes. They took their beat ing without opening up, and It waa apparent that Hood River waa not a forward passing team. So, when Finch, who by the wty Is considered about the best high school scout In the state reported to Bowerman. his notes contained nothing whatsoever about the passing maglo that was unveiled at the etadlum last Friday. At a result, the Tigers were drilled very little on ptsa detente. There was evidently nothing to tear from Hood River through the air, hence the lack of serious workouts on past dsfense. Most of the time was spent on per fecting a belter for the Appleplcker running attack, which worked. It seems pretty far fetched. .In a high school team, but we wonder If canny Jimmy Can of the Appleplckert could have slipped one over on the boys down here by playing under heavy wraps against Camas, keeping his brilliant passing game well out of sight to spring as a surprise. If he did, boy, oh boy, how It worked. OK. here Is Mr. I. Pickem, end he mutters to let go both barrels. He says that nothing can phase him any more following this last football week-end. With what tittle) prognosti cating pride be has left, he points to the fact that he It still on a par with the "flip a coin" method ot naming the winners. He also claims he bss one shirt left, although this Is doubted. Anyway, the old average Is an even JSOO now, slashed from a neat .687 last week because eight out of 19 so-called football games Saturday refused to wind up In the requirea xaanion. If It hadn't been for Oregon heating Stanford. Ohio Mitt taking Purdue. Louisiana State whacking Texas and California rolling over Oregon state. I. Pickem would have drawn a per fect blank. That, hoys and girls, would have called for nothing lest than strychnine. As It Is, I. P.Vkem Is seriously considering a protest to Washington. These things can't go on. Hare Is the sad news, cut to the bare details because of lack of apace (how's that for an excuse?); Ne braska forgot to be frightened by mighty Minnesota, durn them Corn huskers; Colgate was selected over Cornell, and all Cornell went and done was by 40-7; Willamette drop ped to Fresno state; Idaho didn't play against Washington Bute like they did agalnat Oregon State; Southern Cal has definitely not ar rived back at the peak like I. Pickem figured, Washington proved It; Med ford high forgot to watch the air lanes; and lastly, Albany college tied the SONS Instead of the SONS cop ping, and Oonzaga deadlocked St. Marys Instead of rolling over. i SERIES TO WRITE L Return of Prosperity, demlo of Injuries Epl and Surprise by Bees Major Developments of Year Series Facts NEW YORK, OotM .

Aside from little old New York's second-straight championship mono poly, the developments that seem standouts as you look baok over the campaign were Its success from a fin ancial viewpoint, the epidemic of In jurlee that hit every club In both loops, the big surprise that was pull ed out of the hat by the Button Bees and the high-class walloping of Ducky Medwlck and Joe Dlmagglo.

Perhaps you'll hear a new musician tuning up: "Katy did! . . . Katy didn't!" A week later when others are muted by the sudden chill of night, this lone fiddler's notes will multiply into a loud and rousing threnody: "KATY DID! . . . KATY DIDN'T!" And what is this to you?

The fine showing of Jimmy Dykes' Chicago White Sox In upsetting the dope by winding up third in the American league, finishing with a 9-0, 7-9 doublebesder win over the last place Browns yesterday, stood out In the American league. Beet Fool Experts Major job of fooling the experts wat turned in by the Boston Bees.

The Nstlonsl league cellar was 'won" by the Cincinnati Reds, who absorbed a 4-8, 4-0 twin defeat at the hande of the Plratea yesterday, wind ing up the nightmare their pre -season dream had become.

They dropped the sea son's wlndup, 1-0, yesterday to the one-hit pitching of Jake Wade for the Tigers. Washington's Senators and the Athletics, neither of which waa ever in the race, split their last double header, the A's taking the first game 5-4, and losing the second, 4-8.
