Orlrzlle and the Medford high Black Tornado clash tomorrow after noon at the local stadium In their traditional Armistice Day classic Kickoff Is at 3 o'clock, sharp. Never have Ashland and Medford football teams, moat bitter rivals In Oregon, entered a game so obviously "even up." Against one common op ponent Klamath Falls scores Indi cate that tomorrow's encounter Is anybody's. Eeach team tied with the Pelicans. Because of that, and be cause of the fact that there Is never any "dope" In the Ash land -Med ford battle, local fans are keeping their purses la their pockets. There Is no favorite. Mentors See Towup. Coaches Bill Bowerman of the Tor nado and Sheet O'Connell of the Orlzslles announced today that their machines wore ready for their great eat test of the year. Neither mentor would make a prediction, both claim ing the game a complete tosaup. There will be three changes In the Medford lineup from that which has , started the majority of encounters to date. Snmmy Richardson, because of Inspired exhibitions in practice the past week, will open at left guard In place of Oene Archibald. Fred Stev ens, a letterman, will get the start ing call at center Instead of John Prentice. Prentice Is suffering from n Injured ankle, but may see action. At fullback will be Jack Hill In place of big Eldon Grow, who may not play at all because of a combination of difficulties. Remainder of the team will be the same that hss seen most of the action all year. On a whole, the eleven Is in excellent condition, Coach Bower nan stated. I Schelderetter Injured. Roland Schelderelter, all-conference center, last season, will probably re main on the bench for the OrlEslles, Coach O'Connell announced yester day. Schelderelter threw both knees out of place In a terrlfto scrimmage aesslon early in the week. Jim Wea ver, Schelderetter't understudy, re ceived a broken nose and two black eyes In the same session, and Is a doubtful player. At center will be Henson, a reserve. Upon the broad shoulders of Steve Fowler, the smashing, pausing, punt ing 300-pound fullback, rides the hope of Ashland for their first victory over Medford since 1029. and their first conference championship since that time. Fowler has powered his team 11 season and will be a marked man tomorrow. Medford has no back the equal of Fowler, but neither has Ashland a ball carrier the equal of Bobby Et tlmrer, the Tornado's great climax runner and the fastest man In the conference. Like Fowler for Ash land, Ettlnger has been the "payoff performer for Medford all season, and will also be a marked player as he goes against the arlzallea for his last time. Teams Vpand-lown. Both teams have had an up-and-down season to date. Medford reach ed Its peak In the vicious Klamath Falls game, which ended In a scoreless tie, and also rolled merrily against Rose burg snd the Alumni. Ashland allow ed class In Its conference encounter with Grants Pass, winning 12-P, and looked powerful against Yrrka and Klamath Falls, copping the former. 13-0, and tying the Pelicans, fl-6. Weight Equal. Average wrlgbt of the two teams will be about the same, both lipping the scales at approximately 187 pounds per man. Medford seems to have an edge In scoring power because of superior speed in the backfleld, while Ashland Is apparently the tougher defensive aggregation. Besides Fow ler, Charlie Warren, half-pint quar terback, and Purman Carter, left half, provide the arteries with thstr of fensive display. Jack Hill and Jack Bowman will cooperate with Ettln ger In getting first downs and pos sible touchdowns for the Tigers. - One of the season's largest crowds Is expected to witness the game. Hun dreds of Ashland supporters will make the trip to Medford. A huge student may and bonfire will touch off en thusiasm here tonight. Follow tng are the teams' season records: Mr d ford.

(AP) Joe Med wick, the payoff guy of the at. Louis Cardinals gashouse gang, has the National league's most valuable player award for 1037 to add to his record string of bsttf ig "firsts." "Muscles" did all he could to earn the prize. He won the batting cham pionship, led In hits, runs batted in snd doubles and tied with tne Giants Mel Ott for the home run title. Even so he barely nosed out Gabby Hartnett, the spirited Chi cago catcher, who drew 08 votes to Joe's 70. Eight members of the Baseball Writers' association made the selec tion. They gave Oabby more first place nominations than MedwtcK, but Muscles more than made up that deficit with votes for second and third place to grab the award and the Sporting News trophy. During the past season, Med wick compiled a batting average of .874; he hit safely 337 times, batted in 104 run -and bit 67 doubles and Hi home runs. Carl Hubbell, the shrewd, smootn left-hander of the New York Giants. who won the award last year, was third choice with 53 points. Two newcomers to the headlines, the Boston Bees' venerable rookie pitch ers, Jim Turner and Lou Fette, wound up third and fourth. Med wick, christened Joseph Mi chael, but better known as "Ducky Wucky" or "Muscles," is the third Cardinal to win the award since the baseball writers took over the selec tion In 1031. A sensation as a schoolboy player at Carteret, N. J., Medwlck came up via Scottdale, Pa., In the mid-Atlantic league and Houston of the Texas league. Starting In 1033, ne has a six-year average Just under 550. In his only world series ap pearance, in 1934, he hit for .37U. A timely hitter, he Is unortho dox In that he hits consistently at bad balls. He swings rlght-hanued with a pronounced wrist snap and hits on a line. Medwlck will be 2d November 34.

From Los Angeles to Seattle the alumni and downtown critics are having a field day at the expense ox me poor f-o o t b all coach who, for some reason or another, Is sit ting behind the eight ball so far as winning games Is concerned. In fact, we would hazard the thought that this season of 1937 has produced more serious yelping than any In the past ten yeara. James Phelan, erstwhile mentor of the University of Washington Hus kies, Is the Cosst conference coach parked on the number one hot spot. Not only the alumni and the Monday morning quarterbacks are after Jim my's scalp, but the newspapers, as well. One dally rag, anyway. That .meet Is running editorials concern ing the whole football setup at Wash ington, and It really appears that Phelan Is about finished, California game notwithstanding. A win over Oregon, traditional rivals, might help some, but It Is doubted. Mir Rnlea ROSE .BOWL DM TO COME BIT HIGHER PASADENA. Calif., Nov. 10. (AP) Rose Bowl football prices have been boosted and the New Year'a game la expected to set an all-time gate record. The Pacific coast conference fixe 4 the scale at 3.30, $4.40 and $5.30. Previously, the top price was $4,40. The game always Is a sell-out, A crowd of 87,108 watched Plttsburgn thump Washington In the last game. Tickets for the 1038 game will not open until the western team is. selected, early In December. Advance requests for ticket are coming in now to the Tournament of Roses committee. Manager William Dun kfiiry reports. Phelan's Is a rather peculiar case. Brought to Seattle several years ago from Northwestern In the Western conference (Big Ten), after Enoch Bagshaw had been fired for failure to win the Coast pennant consistent ly. Phelan never did click with a cer tain clique around Seattle, so say per sons who apparently know. Until last year, when the Huskies won the title, Jimmy didn't do so well. That didn't help matters any. It was claimed that he always had plenty of material to work with but his own coaching shortcomings failed to bring the best out of that material. Also, It Is a matter of fact that shortly after he took over the reins at Washington, he let drop several remarks concerning the superiority of nilddlo western col leges over those on the Coast, In cluding Washington, and the su periority of Big Ten football as compared to that of the Coast variety. All of which didn't put him In the good graces of his su periors. Now. after winning the title last season and being favored to repeat, Phelan hasn't produced like he should, so say the wolves. Truly, tt looks like curtains for Phelan, al though there Is the matter of a con tract that still has three years to run. If we aren't mistaken, However, If the wolves want him out of there bad enough, there are always ways and means. At the extreme other end of the Coast conference sits Howard Jones, cosch of the once-mighty Trojans of Southern California. And, his seat Is far from cool. For years the Thunder ing Herd, developing tremendous pow er off the tackles, rsn roughshod over Coast and National teams. Jones was riding high and so were his Tro jans; so high that USC grabbed two national championships and finished second about four times. Then, came the Inevitable crash started by Oregon State's Iron Men holding the Men of Troy to a score less deadlock tft 1933. Later that sea son, Stanford's "Vow Boys" whacked the Trojans at Los Angeles, and the skid was really under way. For the next three years, Southern California was not even "Just another team " It was practically the weak sister of the conference and Los Angeles, spoiled by all those seasons of national foot ball domination, started to squeal for Jones' scalp. This season, which was supposed to be the one that El Trojan roared back In all hts glory, has proved even worse than last, and the wolves are out In full cry. Running In smaller packs, bat probably no less vicious, are the wolves of Palo Alto and Eugene where, respectively, Tiny Thorn hill and Prink Calllson, coach the football teams of Stanford and In I versify of Oregon. San Francisco newspapers, which sang the praises of the Big. Red ma chine in 1033. 1934. and 1933, cham pionship years, were quick to start neck -chopping lest season and the early part of this. However, Stanford's surprise victory over USO last Satur day silenced many of the critics, for the time being, anyway, but Just wait until that California game. If Sun- ford loses by a large score, which looks like a cinch. Tiny Thornhlll will be searching for another possible outlet for his double wlngback Ideas. That Prink Calllson Is In hot water again la no secret, here in Medford or anyplace else. In fact. Prink always seems to be "berling." Last season, Oregon's worst in many, almost pro duced the block for Prink. It was de cided, we understand, to give him one more chance, and this is It. To date, Oregon has licked Stanford and Washington State and lost to USC, UCLA and Oregon state. Like Phelan, if Oregon can beat Washington, Calllson's Job will be saved, probably. If not, It appears Uke the Webfoots will have a new coach next season. Prink has only a year-to-fear contract; that's all he has ever had. That policy was Inaugurated fol lowing the departure of Doc Spears from the Eugene campus, he report edly acting up too often and scaring college bigwigs out of long-term con tract Ideas. Downpour Cancels Freshman Struggle EUGENE, Nov. 10. (AP) Rain which softened the turf on Hsyward field here and Bel field at Cor vnllls caused cancellation of the thtrd football game this season be tween' freshman teams of the Uni versity of Oregon and Oregon State college. It was scheduled for Friday here. The University Ducklings won both previous games, 19 to 13 at Portland and 20 to 7 at Corvsllls. BRAY TAKES 60-POUND SALMON FROM CHETCO A 60-pound salmon largest taken In the Chetco river thla year was the prize landed by Dr. Jouett B. Bray Monday as he and his son Paul, enjoyed a two-day fishing trip along that stream. The huge fish was four feet, two inches long and measured 18 Inches from dorsal to ventral fin.

Wash., Nov. 10. (AP) Two Paelflo Coast conference coaches of thla sector split today In their Appraisal of Coach Glenn 8. (Pop) Warner'a proposals to change foot ball's rules to Increase the scoring. Orln (Babe) Holllngbery, of Wssh- rngton State College, said "no" em phatically. Ted Bank, University of Idaho and a member of the National Foot ball Coaches' association rule com mittee, said he would "Juat as soon" see two of the proposal! adopted: To require six-man line on defense and to allow forward passing from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage. Of the proposal to move goal posts up to the goal line. Bank com mented: "Even tf it would make drop and place kicks easier, in creased Injuries would more than offset advantages." Holllngbery said the way to meet the five-man line Innovation was to "pour power playe at them; they'll tighten up the line then." He said the alx-man proposal would only pile additional tabulation duties on the offlelsls, and moving up the goal post would be dsngerous and woum out down scoring lnstesd of Increasing It. He said the pos would cause a "dead spot" in the end zone where no passes could be thrown.

J CLASH I Coach Ken Hulbert's powerful Cen tral Point high football team, unde feated apd untied In five trips to the post, risks it perfect jecord against Jacksonville' high tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at Van Scoyoc field. The battle will decide the Jackson county Class B championship. The Miners, mentored by Bob Wood, have lost only two games this year, one to Glendale and one to the Med ford high sophomores. Comparative scores against Glendale, which team was defeated twice by Central Point, Indicate a slight Pointer superiority. However, both teams are hopped to the skies for their "big" game and observers of these two outfits claim the battle la a tossup. It will be the first meeting of the pair this season and will be Jackson ville's final game. WEBFOOTS' FULLBACK OUT WITH INJURIES EUGENE. Nov. 10.
