King Football makes his last local

whn cnarh Bill Bowerman sends
hla snarling Medford high Tigers
against the mlgmy Eiigene iuh"
Axmen of Coah Prltji Krnmer In
the annual Thanksgiving Day olas
alc. The battle, considered the high
light of the year, will start promptly
at 1 o'clock.
It was 44-0 last year when the
Black Tornado, crippled In man
power and low In morale, traveled
to Eugene to meet the finest prep
machine In the state. It will be no
such business this season. The Tor
nado, Southern Oregon conference
champion, Is In excellent condition
and Eugene, although still potent.
Is considerably weaker than In 1038.
Eugene Is the favorite 13 points aay
the boys up and down the main stem
but there Is no dearth of Tiger i
money.
Ten In unit uitme.
When the final gun barks tomor
row afternoon, 10 members of the
Medford squad will have seen their
last action fdr the Bed and Black.
Bobby Ettlnger, one of the greatest
ball carriers In Tiger history, will be
playing his final game for the Tor
nado. So will Jack Hill, speedy right
(halfback and Red, Boot, the tough
blocking quarterback. In the line.
Bob Wilson, brilliant left end, Uan
Ehrhart, husky left tnckle, and Ham
Richardson, guard, the boy who In

tackle, Fred Stuvcns, center, Wayne
Curry, end. and wesioy uaacr, cen
ter. They, also, will be In Medford
uniform for the last time. Warren
Baylies, Injured In the Klamath Palls
rum, won't be In suit, and his high
school career la over, too.
Both Tennis Fast.
Tomorrow's encounter will be be
tween two well-coaohed, top-notch
ball teams, both featuring brilliant
scoring power developed by decep
tion and speed. It will be Doug
Caven, Eugene's great right halfback
versus Medford's unstoppable Bobby
KttlnRar, the finest cutback runner
to perform on a southern Oregon
gridiron In the past HO years. Caven,
eonaldsred the best halfback In the
state, is a rugged power runner on
the order of Nello Olovanlnl, al
though faster and harder to bring
down, Ettlnger dependa on biasing
peed through quick opening holes
and t aharp change of direction to
roll up his yardage.
Coach Prlti Kramer la an exponent
of both the single and louble-wlng-back
with plenty of short passes and
laterals behind the Uno of scrlm
msge. Coach Bowerman'a team, em
ploys many reverses, double reverses
and spinners built around Ettlnger
and Hill and Jack Bowman. If the
track la dry tomorrow, both teams
will undoubtedly open up with every
thing In the book.
The Tlgors trotted through a light
workout yesterday and Bowerman
announced that every player, with
the exception of Blevens and Hanto.
In top condition. Stevens haa a leg
kink and Santo a sore shoulder.
However, one or both will probably
get In the game.
Records Compared.
Although the, teams have not
played a common opponent by which
to Judge their respective strength,
an Idea can be gained from what
happened to University high, Bu

The bespectacled slugger, who for
four years belted line drives Into
every Pacific Coast league park's
right field while a member of the
Beavers, told us emphatically that
he was finished, through, washed up
and concluded with the national
pastime, especially the Portland
Beavers. Not that he was sore at
baseball, he said, but that ie knew
he couldn't play forever .ind that
this present state police Job was
Just what he had always wanted to
do. That, he explained, was his prin
cipal reason for giving up the game:
that and his Inability to agree- with
President E. J. Schefter of the
Benvers on the amount of do-tv-ml
he should receive for performing.

Clabaugh, before he left here for
his permanent state police assign

received somewhere in the neighbor
hood of 600 per month for twinging
his big black bat for the Ducks.
And, that Fredericks drew down
around P00 every thirty days. Now,
either salary is not to be sneezed
at: however Moose can't be blamed
much for squawking. Like no other
profession In the world, baseball pays
Its workers strictly on a basis of
pure and unadulterated ability, and
nothing else. If a ball player pro

No other profession can even ap

never knows when he la through:
that he must tilde down the mlnoi
league trail until even the class D
circuits don't want him hanging
around. That la not a warning to
Clabaugh, It la merely a statement
of fact. Maybe Moose would let that
happen and maybe be wouldn't.
Anyway, It will be highly Interesting
to note developments this spring,
when the grass starta getting green,
the birds begin to warble, and rookie

fore the latter won the heavyweight
championship, and staying three
rounds with Prlmo Camera, Italian
Alp, when the latter was making
his "road show" trip across the
country, the likeable Steve is a real,
honest-to -goodness movie actor. ,
He Just finished working In "Buc
caneer" for Twentieth Century, and
when he returns to Hollywood he
will have a bit In a movie dealing
with the life of Jesse James. He first
appeared In the film "The Way To
Love," starring Maurice Chevalier,
the French actor. The picture called
for wrestling sequences, and as the
Prenchle couldn't grapple a lick.
Strellch was hired as his double. He
has appeared In three Mae West
pictures, "I'm No Good." "Klondike
Annie," and "Belle of the Nineties."
Also, he has been a bodyguard for
the buxom blonde, receiving gifts of
a watch and ring from Miss West.
Quite a guy, Strellch. And, a pretty
good grappler, too.

frames this week.
Alabama, undefeated and untied
pride of the south and considered
strong possibility for the New Year'i

candidate, will meet Duke Saturday
and Ford ham will play New Yorlt

No hint of what team will be

official observers and sportswritert
seemed to think an Alabama victory
over Vandcrbllt would put the south

Word forthcoming from graduate
