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.

Baseball Revival

Undoubtedly the beet news for

Billy Rule,

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

Southern California's Trojans prepar

strenuous drill today, but little pun

Coach Howard Jones indicated his
outfit might prove too finely drawn

taking no chances with the coming

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.
