McDonald Has Edge. Two of the big ten's finest block ing backs were on opposite sides of last Saturday's main event, with Ohio State's Jim McDonald appar ently enjoying an edge over North western's Fred Vanzo. Don Heap did some spectacular ball-carrying for Northwestern, but could not turn I the tide, even with the 313-pound Vanzo'a help. The passing show continues to feature the work of Dwlght Bloan of Arkansas, Joe Otlgrow of Alabama, Joe Dray of Oregon State end Sid Luckman of Columbia, although these busy boys do not oonflne their work to the aerial game, Oray's all-around talent have been outstanding, even on a second division club.

Two of the best pivot men were on view at the Polo Orounds Saturday, with Kl Aldrlch of Texas Christian given an edge by most critics over rord hsm's Alex wojclechowlea. Herwlg of California, Dougherty of Santa Clara, Zrlckaon of Washington, Murray of Wisconsin, Oallsgber of Yale and Moore of Colorado are other centers who come well recommended. Holland Great End. Defensively, one of the season's finest performances at end was regis tered Saturday by Jerome (Brud) Holland, Cornell negro star.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Sayi: Week-End Promises Spicy Grid Menu For Rabid Fans Talk about your big football week ends, this coming up will most cer tainly prove tops for the entire sea eon. Medford fans, of course, are al ready shaking with excitement over the impend 1 n g battle be tween their Black To r n ad o a nd Bond's mighty Lava Bears, un defeated 1 n 31 oonaecuttve games. The en counter will take plnce at the ata ri l u m Friday night, and school mils Rnlca offlcUla expect positively the largest crowd In history. It wouldn't surprise this department If over 6000 souls saw the squabble. Then, at Ashland Saturday after noon, Coach Jean Eberhardt'a South ern Oregon Normal machine faces Its traditional and bitter rival Oregon Normal from Monmouth In the cli max game for each team. The history of engagements between the two out fits is studded with sensational or currences, and this year's embroglto should prove no exception. The game will highlight the two-day Homecoming celebration of the A Hit In nd Institution, and like here, HONS officii.! expect the season's best outpouring of pigskin lunatics. Although Ah lunci Is noted for Its poor ability to draw paving customers to any thing, the Ihvia and girls always turn out when the Wolves and SONS fare off. Sberhart'a gang has a special pet grelva-nce to take up with Coach Al Cox's aggregation regarding last year'a Homecoming game. Until then, the SONS had never tasted defeat on the day Ita grada returned to celebrate. Monmouth busted the record by a 6 0 score, when they were doped to win by four touchdowns, and much agi tation has been apparent this year for the SONS to start another string of Homecoming victories. According to past records of the two teams, Eberhart's club will enter the fray dlstlnot underdogs, which la not unusual. Comparative scores point to a lelrly easy Monmouth triumph, but as in all these traditional "blood" encounters, you can throw out his torians snd figure only which tesm will be hopped the highest. Although It doesnt mesn anything, here la the comparative score business on the two elevens: Albany and the SONS battled to a e-S deadlock at Medford on Oct. 9. Last Saturday, Oregon Normal whip ped Coach Don Fsber's Albany team. JI-9. On that bans, the wolves are two touchdowns stronger than SONS. But, don't waste any potatoea on Monmouth to win by two touchdowns. And here. Monmouth played to a 6-8 deadlock with the Orogon freshmen, and those same freshmen walloped the RONS. 21-0 Ono those games. Monmouth rates three touchdowns better than the SONS. It would also be wine not to waste even a red cop per on the Wolves by three touch downs. In addition to holding the baby Webfoots to a He and beating Al pany, Monmouth has won from Un field. Pacific unlierelty and .battled the Oregon State Rooks to a 6-6 standoff. The Rook, and the SONS meet In Medford Nov a under the lights. The rerord of therhart's team U not so hot thl. jenr, but as before menll'.neil. all put meur renew can he to.wd In I he ash con, lne SO.NS havt been Ideat ed by the frosh and by Humboldt State of eureka, 34-0, and bava so far foiled to develop the pow er expected. However rumors from Ashland are to the effect that Kbble has a new offense to spring at the Wolves. No kidding. That Is an old angle of publicity, but In this case it is absolutely true. we understand from certain guys In Ashland who know. Eberhart won't divulge the secret of the new scoring maneuvers, and because he won't, we have our own private Ideas that they are based on the darkest of football magic. History of encounters between the two sshools proves that both teams do everything but deflate the pigskin and mall It to score touchdowns. The grand, hys terical outburst of hidden ball tricks, yard-stick and water bucket plays waa staged In 1933, unless memory Is haywire, Vhen Larry Wolfe's Mon mouthltea downed Howard Hobson's SONS, 31-7, at Ashland. The wolves scored their three touchdowns early In the game and were content to fight off the SONS the rest of the way, but not Hob son's team. They opened the book of screwy scoring tactics, prize one being what was termed the "yard stick" plsy. For sheer genius, nothing haa ever been developed like It. It went something like this: Frank Sapp, SONS end, on the opening klckotf of the game, with his tem receiving, took one end of the to-yard measuring chain immediately alter the ball was downed sfter the klckoff. previously on the chain had been a SONS substitute, so Sapp's ap pearance there didn't attract undue attention from the Monmouth players. The SONS lined up for their first scrimmage play, and pust before the ball was snapped, tn Ashland flank man stepped on the Held. Claude Hlnes, halfback, received the ball from centei snd Prank Sapp waa on his way. entirely in the open As It happened, the pass was too long for Sapp to resch. but we have never seen a football team so entirely taken in by the trick maneuver. If Sapp had caught Haines' forwsrd psss, he could have stopped along the way and tak en a nap and still reached day dirt. FRANKLIN BREAKS JINX TO DEFEAT ROOSEVELT PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 38.

Can Medford high's "rising" Tigers, twice detested and once tied but definitely on the upswing, produce enough . offensive dynamite to con quer the mighty Lava Bears of Bend high, undefeated in 31 straight ball games and considered Oregon's num ber one prep grid machine? The question will be answered to morrow evening between 8 and 10 o'clock on the green turf of Med ford's high school stadium. It will be answered as Coach Bin Bowerman turna loose a vastly Improved Black Tornado, sparked by great little Bobby Ettlnger. the climax runner, and by big Eldon Orow, a real full back at least, and by a forward wall that has come so far since early sea son as to be almost unrecognizable. Bend Is the favorite, no doubt about It. Local football fans, al though .fully aware of the long for ward strides made by the Tornado since the Hood River and Eureka en counters, Just can't disregard the amazing record of Coach John Lon- dahl's Lava Bears. Nor press reports from every section of the state laud ing the aggregation aa the "wonder team" of 1037. Under these condi tions, It is no wonder that Medford will enter the game with an "under dog" status. Bowerman TJnawed Medford'a coaching staff, the play ers themselves and school students sre not kidding each other. They, too, realize the Tigers will enter the fray doped to get their ears pinned back. However, Coach Bill Bower man had this to say about the busi ness: "Bend can't take any chances with Medford's ball team. We are a 76 per cent better team than arly In the season. Anything can happen." Practice yesterday consisted of of fensive drills, with Tornado reserves getting a chance to show their met tle, and defensive workouts against Lava Bear scoring maneuvers. Bowermon threw many reserves into the short scrimmage session while giving his regulars snother day of rest, snd the result wss fairly satisfactory, he said. The second stringers showed plenty of spirit but are etlll rather rough In spots.

Eyston roared down this saline straightaway at 300 miles an .hour today, but mechanical trouble forced him to cancel an assault on the world land speed record of 301.1293 m.p.h. Eyston's 24-cyllnder monster auto mobile frayed a tire while passing through the measured mile. He "cut out" the motors Just before passing the red-flag deadline. Official requirements call for runs each way over the course and since the Englishman was unable to make the return trip his msrk the fastest ever achieved In an automobile was unofficial. Despite handicaps, his mechanical powerhouse flashed through a glaring dawn at 300.6 m.p.h., exceeding Sir Malcolm Campbell's speed over the same coun In the same direction, when he established the present of ficial mark In 1038. Campbell'a mark for the first run was 304.311 and for return trip 308.013.
