PAOTC FOUR NfEDFCRB MAIL TRIBUNE. JfEDFORD, OREOON". WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1937. a g e IN HARD DRILL Brilliant Blocking, Reverses, Spinners, Passes Work Like Machine Ease Up to Wait Eureka Game The Messrs. BUI Bowerman, Bum Acheson an Ed Klrtley. gentlemen whose duty It Is to produce a loot ball aggregation at Medford high achool, were feeling right Jolly about 0 p.m. yeatarday. Reason lor the unusual optimism of the coaching ataff was that the Black Tornado varsity, preparing grimly for its tussle with EureKa high achool at the stadium Friday night, raced through the most bril liant and amaElng practice session of the year. Probably never has a Tiger team displayed such a devastating scor ing punch as that unleashed yester day afternoon, either In a game or In practice. It was positively un canny. It waa, seemingly, too good to be true. But. there It was, and there It continued for almost an hour. Defense Helpless. The defensive outfit, spread out with a seven-man line and a 8-8-i secondary, Eureka's standard de tensive formation, waa utterly unable to cope with the attack launched by the guys who will prooaoiy open against the Callfornlans under the lights. No statistics were kept, out It would be entirely safe to state that one out of every three plays were touchdown shots. Perfect plays. Unwinding from their stationary formation as well as after the shift, the offensive team shot Eldon arow, Shorty Campbell and Jack Hill Into the open time after time. Brilliant downfleld blocking, witn linemen wiping up the secondary In a manner to bring tears of Joy to any coacn s yes. made things easy. Reverses, pinners, delayed stabs through the lino, everything In the book was tried, and everything clicked. If it bad been a regular ball game on a regulation field, the score would have been 100-0, easily. And, passes. Shorty Campbell, Hill and Bob Newland, brilliant sopho more back, pitched at least 30 pay off aerials to each other and to Grow, Don Montelth, Eugene Miner, nds. Many times those tosses had laterals tacked on the end of them. Even double laterals. And, everything worked. Backs Look Good. Shifts In the lineups msde no dif ference. Rodney Stead, 135-pound speedster up from last year'a Junior high outfit, made thlnga hum in the backfleld. He can really step. With Newland, It Is apparent that Head Man Bowerman has a sensa tional pair of soph half backa who can step In there at any time with out weakening the club the leaat bit. The pair were under Ruts Acheson. last year's Junior high mentor, ana learned their dutlos well. With Jack Bowman, left halfback, atlll nursing a sore shoulder which Coach Bowerman aays will probably keep him out of the Euroka battle. Red Root continued his duties at quarterback, the blocking backtleia position. Warren Baylies also took his turn In the slot. Both were what the doctor ordered, yesterday. The offensive line which opened such gaping tears In the defensive forward wall consisted of Montelth and Miller at the ends to start with. Erhart and Santo at the tackles, Archibald and Erl at the guards, and Prentice at center. There were several changes, with defensive llne ' men being moved across to offense, but apparently the bruising power was not lessened. Tough Kcrlinmnge. The boys were really rapping each other, too. It was a tough scrim matte session In every respect. Erl, Archibald. Hill. Montelth and several others got bumped and bumped plenty. Montelth took the count, but came up for more. It was proD ably the final serious bodily contact work of the week, as Bowerman won't be taking any chances of getting his outfit laid up beforo Friday. Following the scintillating exhibi tion of forward pausing unloosed by Newland. Campbell, Hill and Stead. Bowerman was aftked whether the Tigers were planning to go upstairs against the Callfornlans. "Not especially," the head coach explained. 'The boys have lacked confidence in that department so far. and I Just want them to get the feel of things. I still believe ground attack is the basis for a powerful offense. However, we won't pass up any opportunities." So. It Is possible the Black Tor nado may toss air ahota against the Eurekans, themselves a notorious psaslng outfit. In fact. Coach Bow erman has hinted all along that some of these days the Tigers would take to the ocone. This coming brawl may be It. Light Prill Today. With the exception of Bowman.

Barrett Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says: Baseball Revival To Add New Class In Coming Season Undoubtedly the beet news for young baseball players since Abner Ooubleday gave birth to the great national pastime back In 1839 Is con tained In a re- rm cent announce. ment by Presl dent w. O. Bram- ham of the Na tlonal Association of - Professional Baseball League that minor league ball haa enjoyed auch a tremen dous growth In 1 A popularl t y the r ' - id-, p few years new class E rating will al Billy Rule, most certainly be added next sea- According to the St. Louis Sport ing News, official baseball organ of America, President Bramham haa long been an advocate of such a classi fication. The annual meeting of the National association will be held In Milwaukee, December 1. at which time advisability of adding the new clarification will be discussed. Bram ham, the News states, Is solidly be hind the move. We quote from the News, "The In elusion of class E leagues In the Na tional association would fill a gap that would offer playing opportuni ties to thousands of youngsters of the sand-lot age. A salary limit, com mensurate with the class! fi cation would give the boys some financial return while getting experience, and at the samo time fulfill their desire to get r start In organized baseball, "In charge of an experienced man ager, the youngsters would be given their primary lessons which would shape them for graduation Into leagues of higher classifications." Bramham, the News states, points out that while the various clubs in class E should not be restricted to local players, many of them would be made up entirely of home town boys, with jome coming from the nearby districts. In other words, It would be a golden opportunity for the thousands of young ball players who have determined to make pro fessional baseball their life work, but who are not yet far enough advanced to step Into a class D, B, or leagues of a higher classification. Bramham says, "Perhaps some of the class E leagues would play only four games a week, but they would provide the starting ground for count less youngsters clamoring for a place in baseball. We should not ignore that challenge from our youth, and the class E leagues will take care of them." Already, Bramham reports, he hits received an application from a group of cities In South Caro lina, ready lo organize a class G circuit. Yesterday, officials of the North went semi-pro setup In Washington Instructed Its pres ident to ascertain the feasibil ity of n league to Include Itreni erton, Olympln. Aberdeen. Ho qulam and shelton to function under the new arrangement. There is no doubt but that such a circuit could be organized among southern Oregon cities. Ahland. Klamath Falls. Medford. Grants Pass are all large enough. In the matter of population, to support such league In fact. Medford and Kiamam rails, according to population, are big ewuigh to go for class D or even class C baseball. Whether they are base ball minded enough is another mat ter. Cuff Scribbling.

(p) Southern California's Trojans prepar ing for an invasion by the rejuvena ted Oregon Webfoots, were billed for strenuous drill today, but little pun ishment awaited the regulars. Coach Howard Jones indicated his outfit might prove too finely drawn after last week's upset of Ohio State if scrimmage was too heavy, and he's taking no chances with the coming conflict here. With tackle Ray George probably out of the game with injuries, Phil Caspar will draw the starting assign ment, It was Indicated. Otherwise the Trojan squad Is In good shape.

If-you have TO MEET CENTRAL POINT IE Coach George Harrington. will send his Medford Junior high school foot ball aggregation against the Central Point high squad of Coach Ken Hul bert Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock on VanScoyoc field. It will be the first meeting of the teams this year. Coach Harrington, starting his first year as Junior high mentor, said that he would probably use three complete teams against the powerful Pointers. With only one letterman in the ranks and forced to depend entirely on untried material, the new head man stated his team would probably stand no chance against their heavier opponents. However, valuable experience would be gained by the encounter, hence the generous use of substitutes, he explained.
