Tigers to Tangle With Eureka High Loggers Under Lights Tonight PAGE TEN SEVERE TEST FOR BOWERMANOUTFIT Recent Workouts Show Lo cals in Top Form Kick off Slated for 8 o'clock Sharp Expect Big Crowd Starting Lineups Medford Tigers: Eureka Loeeers: Curry REL Bird Santo RTT.

The first ended In disaster School officials believe 3000 spec tators will be on hand to witness the klckoff at 8:00 o'clock sharp be tween the powerful Eureka high Log gers of Coach Jay Wlllard and Med ford's Tigers, still smarting from that 14-18 upset at the hands of Hood River two weeks ago. Tigers Fine Drawn With the exception of Gene Miller, right end, and Jack Bowman, left halfback, Med ford's varsity eleven is In good physical condition for its vitally Important struggle with the Callxornlans. Head Coach Bowerman nd assistants, Ruae Acheaon and Ed Xlrtley, have spared no one In their attempt to whip the Tigers Into a great high school football machine. The coaches, sideline practice observ ers, and those who witnessed the 80-7 route of Roseburg last week, el rice rely believe the Black Tornado Is ready. Tonight will prove or dis prove It. If, at last, the Tiger team Is ready to blaze Into high gear, there will be no stopping It. If Bobby Ettlnger. Jack Hill, Eldon Grow, Shorty Camp bell, Bob Newland or Jack Bowman can be catapulted Into the open by a line that has come a long way since the opening battle, the score can be anything. Any 'one of those lightning-fast baoka are capable ot going the distance In one shot. How ever, If that same line la Incapable of springing Its bsll-carrlera Into the open, or if it folds before a heavier Eureka forward wall, the score can also, be anything with Medford on the short end. - Stale nets Feared Coach Bowerman, while making no predictions as to the ultimate out come and being father loathe to discuss the amazing performances of his ball olub during practice sessions this week, It seeming almost too good to be true, nevertheless gave assurances that it would be a dif ferent Tornado out there tonight than the one that bowed to Hood River. Only two details are causing worry the sudden lack of ends and the possibility the Tigers may be slightly stale. Don Montelth, regular left end, will be the lone flankmen to see action ot those who have received atartlng assignments so tar this year, Oene Miller, 18-year old sophomore flan man who stepped In at right end when Red Root was shifted to block Ing qusrterback after Jack Bowman received his shoulder Injury, got herd bump in practice Wednesday with the result that two teeth drop ped out. He probably won't play. Bill Dickey, reserve flankman, is suf fering from an Injured ankle and will rest on the bench. Bob Wilson la doubtful because of scholastic dif ficulties. In fact, the only remaining end Is Oene McCurly excepting, ol course, Wayne Curry, who will open at the right end position. All other reserves are in good con dition. Fred Stevens, regular center until he hurt his knee and who was then plagued by a bald cold, will see plenty of service, Bowerman said. Others who may be called upon are Sam Richardson, guard: Dale How ard, Midge Benford and Al Barrow, tackles; Warren Baylies, Jonea and BUI Caples, blocking backs; Rod Stead, Ollllsple, Campbell and Bow man, halfbacks: and Bob Newland. full. Face llnrd Rrhedule Because of the fact that tonight Inaugurates a terrific three weeks ot action Xlamath next week. Bend the following Coach Bowerman has been forced to drive his charges at top speed. As a result, he stated to C.sy. the squad may be Just a Utile stale. "They could be fresher" he explslned. Local tans tip and down the main stem don't know Just how to figure this battle. Eureka, to date, has me: only one major opponent, beatlrur Red Bluff last week. 80. There have been a few half-hearted wagers ot smsll amounts making Medford a 18-point favorite, mainly because of A CHAMPION as New York's most popular chilf pho tographers' model for the past 18 months, John Uusscll, 4, was re cently awarded a movie con tract in Hollywood, given the child lead in a prizefight picture. MM 1 ...v-fr" the confidence felt for tho ability of in Tiger backneld to go place If given half an opportunity. It la tho consensus that If Medford'a high- geared, and complex system of re verses, double reverses, spinners, de layed bucks through slow opening holes and other forms of Bowerman magto clicks, tho Tigers will win. However, nobody Is certain about the dirking part, nor Just how powerful an offense the Loggers of Coach Jay Wlllard possess. Fureka Colorful It Is safe to state, though, that Eureka will display a colorful at tack, probably with numerous aerial maneuvers thrown In for good meas. ure. The Loggers boast a great run ning and passing back In Don Dur dan. two-year veteran, and a pair of mighty 200-pound tackles In Albright and Starkovlch. The Eureka line will outweigh that of Medford's by about la pounds per man. while the re spectlve backflelds will be about the same, with the Tigers holding clear speed advantage. The Tornado trotted through a light workout yesterday afternoon consisting of pass defense work. coach Bowerman is taking no chances of having another "Hood Elver" pulled on his outfit. Coach Jfty Wlllard and about 35 Loggers are expected to arrive In Medford this afternoon. A workout on the stadium turf has been ached uled for the visitors at 4 o'clock.

C. Obyo, asslstsnt supervisor of the Rogue' River national forest. Mr. Obye said he saw more ducks on Klamath lake this week than ever beforet Field reports from the Klam ath area show that the supply Is large this year and bear out his ob servation, he stated. There la more water In the marshes thsn in recent years, he added. On the other hand, reports from the Clear Lake CCC camp state that an Increase in sickness among ducks has been noted in the northern Cali fornia area southeast of Klamath Falls. Many of the ducks in that area are suffering from botulism, a dis ease caused by a water bacillus, the CCC report said. Large numbers of the water fowl have been picked up and treated by the CCO men. ac cording to the camp bulletin. There was some botulism on the upper Klamath refuge last year but CCC crews took care of the situation and treated about 400 of the ducks. An Increase In the disease was noted this year when a sump was fooled before clean-up work was completed because of flood conditions and dan ger to farm lands. The shallow. warm water and decayed volunteer grain made an ideal breeding place for the botulism bacilli, the CCC re port stated . The sick birds, brought In by the aid of retriever dogs, are seggregated according to their condition. They are permitted to fly away when they are well enough. Few of those turn ed loose return to the Infested area, it was said. Pioneer' to Rest. PORTLAND. Oct. 15.

NEWLAND SAN PRANCISCO, Oct. 15. iff) George McDonald, bowler extraordin ary, squinted down the alley, toed off at the foul line and spun the big ball Into a clattering mlxup with the wooden pins. It wasn't a strike: No. 10 pin sur- vlvcd the shock. The lone sentinel went down with a swish on tho next throw. Applause from a scattering of spec tators greeted McDonald's feat. This was a feat because this 40-year-old bowler Is totally blind. In one and one-half months. Mc Donald has become San Francisco's most remarkable bowler. For 26 years he has been sightless, victim of disease which mado life a lasting night time since his youth. - Last September 1, McDonald bowl ed his first game. Previously he had acquired a mental picture of the alley and Its set-up. With an instructor. Herb Goldsmith, he paced the alley half a hundred times so that he knew It was exactly 60 feet from the foul line to the head pin. He learned to gauge the width of the alley so that sense of feel would enable him to lay down the ball In the middle of the 42-inch wooden strip. On his 10th lesson he amazed all on hand by bowling scores of 114, 122. 124, 125 and 150 for a total of 635 pins and an average of 127. Bowling recorsd reveal it takes a person with normal faculties six months to aver age a score of 125. Every day now. as the clock strikes 2, McDonald strides briskly Into his favorite bowling alley. He engages in competition with those who see. asks no favors and gives none. Those who follow the sport say he is des tined to become far better than the average pin-pounder. "It's as easy as falling off a log." said McDonald. "When I play against somebody, I take tne attitude that , I'm not handicapped but rather that j I'm giving my opponent a handicap." i McDonald, who travels the city I streets aided only by a cane, gets on and off street cars alone, shaves him self, and dials his own telephone numbers, lives as active a life as a normal person.
