With a bow to Vanderbllt'a S0
mlnuts Una, chiefly responsible for
overthrowing Louisiana Stat and
featuring an All-America candidate
for center in Captain Carl Hlnkle,
the fact remains that halfbacks mo
nopolized the latest big-gams head
lines. Bottari Shines.
Nesting the halfway mark In the
pursuit of all-star reoognltlon, the
backfleld list of favorites Includes
the following talented young men:
Yale's Clint Prank, a 1936 All
America, who gave another auperb
all-round exhibition against Cornell;
Bill Hutchinson, who tallied all three
of Dartmouth's touchdowns against
Harvard; Vic. Bottari. who twice
crossed Southern Calif ornla'a goal Une
for California, the nation's No. 1
team; Bullet Bill Patterson, dynamo
of Baylor's unbeaten and untied pow
erhouse; Marshall Goldberg of Pitts
burgh, who had one of his best days
against Wisconsin; Byron (Whlzzer)
White of Colorado, who tallied i
points against Colorsdo State; Jack
Plngel of Michigan State, a broken
field terror against Marquette; Jim
my renton and Henry Kelly, the
twin ground-gaining eenaatlona tor
Auburn, and Andy Parkas, who has
scored 11 touchdowns for Detroit's
unbeaten outfit.
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.
Others whose exploits win praise
In this week's .roundup Included:
Magnuasen, Utah State; Snow, Utah;
Tralnor, Colorado College; Stoddard,
Idaho and Slenko, Washington State.
Hlnkle of Vanderbllt so fsr looms
conspicuously among the centers on
all counts, Including leadership, dura
bility and play diagnosis. 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. Holland
was a "fifth man" In Yale's back
field much of the afternoon. The
Southern Conference has two top
notch wtngmen In Andy Bershsk of
North Carolina and Don Hudglns ol
Duke, the latter a converted back
who specialises In blocking punta.
Other standout ends Included Dre-
her, Denver; McDonough, Utah and
Waters, Brlgham Young.
Two big reasons for Callfornlas
all-conquering march, observers re
port, are the team's auporlative
guards, Stockton and Evans. They
are compared to Post and Robeakey.

Week-End Promises

For Rabid Fans
Talk about your big football week

tainly prove tops for the entire sea

of course, are al
ready shaking
with excitement
over the impend

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

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.

Invaders Undefeated in 21
Games Bowerman Says
Bend Can't Take Chances
With Present Tiger Team
Can they do It?
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.
