PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1933. it i TEX OLIVER FACES PRECARIOUS TASK AS Little School in League of Giants Is Death Trap for Mentors Average Tenure Only Three Years To Give New Deal EUOENE, Ore., Sept. 7. (AP) A fellow with a Shi Beta Kappa key and a metronome hat assumed the Job of tutoring University of Ore- gon football teams succeeding Prince Oalllson and following in the foot' steps of such grid notables as Hugo Besdeck, Captain J. J. McEwan and Doc. C. W. Spears. The newcomer with the key of wis. dom and the tick-tack is Gerald Oliver, late of the University of Art sona. When he took the Oregon Job, ha stepped Into the most pre carious Pacific const conference berth after five years on the mesa where hi teams won 32 games, tied 11 and lost a negligible four. Since the pre- war days of Bezdeck Oregon the smallest school In a league of giants has been a professional death trap for coaches. The average tenure has bepn three years. Has Confidence Nevertheless, the rhythmic Oliver, whose nickname Is "Tex," took of flca with a flourish of confidence, an ambiguous promise to make "Ore gon the No. I unknown quantity of the league, and several new wrinkles. Most conspicuous Innovation was the metronome. The Arleonan Is stickler for timing. Like Chick .Mee- hsn he Insists the boys stay In step even When they break huddle. Dur lng spring practice they huddled, broke, lined up, shifted and started the play to the mechanical ticking of the timing device that keeps little Willie In the groove during his piano lessons. The gridiron reactionaries scratch ed their dubious chins at such mole- akin streamlining, but they had to admit that the Oregonlans were well coordinated In apring games. Versatile Atlnrk Aim Oliver promised a "versatile" at tack. His style, dissimilar from any used at Oregon recently, calls for fast men In all back field positions. He lets them all carry the ball. Beyond that guarded revelation. Tex Is secretive and a great believer tn closed gates. Even In spring prac tics few were permitted to see the Webfoot vars'ty when it removed Its wraps. Oliver has reasonably good mate rial for his maiden season In the big league of the west. Only three 1937 backs succumbed to graduation and the frosh supplied four smart back field replacements In Hallakl, quar ten Hanklnson and Isberg. helves, and Stenstrom, full. Hanklnson Is already an accomplished passer. Returning veterans Include. Nllacn, 1937's Ironman quarterback. Nlfhol. son, Oraybeal, Oebhardt. Smith, An derson, Rach and Oainmon. halves Donovan, quarter, and Emmons, full back. Tackle Trouble Tackle weaknesses tax the Oliver optimism. Jensen and paters, Jun. lors, with limited experience, look best. Spare parts sre scarce. The ability of Inskeep, Stuart. Wlnetrout and Eacutt, reserve tackles, to meet varsity specifications Is doubtful. Ends, however, are strong and nu merous. Verby Is a two-year veteran Lance, out last season with a broken arm, and Reglnato, are big and tough and fast. Iteglnato la one of the team's best punters. Spceteen. Rob ertson, Blenklnsop, Hawe and Hen dershott are all good. Equally plentiful are swift, bulky gonitis. Wnlden, understudy for the graduated Captain Amato last year, Olovanlnl, Husk, Passolt. Robertson and Smith are all formidable. Husk Is the baby of the crowd and he weighs 105. "Cat" Cndennsso. tall and thick chested center. Is hslled the equal to Oregon's great Bcrnle Hughes. He Is a transfer from St. Mary's, Cal., and becomes eligible this season. Jacobsen and Samuclaon can make him step to hold his position.

It was almost a triple play developed from a ground ball, one of the rarest sights In baseball. Before leaving that ball game, let's hand a few more bouquet to Orval Hampel, the guy they can't get out at the plate. Hampel hit five for five Sunday, five clean singles, to run his strlrw of consecutive basehlts to ! eight. In the last two gamea, he has connected safely every time he toed In at the platter. He socked three for three . against Crescent City two weeks ago. Two perfect days In row. In bis last 13 time at bat, he has hit safely 11 times, and In his last 17 trips he ha blasted out 14 base knocks. Which Is what we call fancy stick work. 1.T I Billy Hulen. Thrlll-seeklng sport fans enjoyed a field day over the Labor day week end, what with Medford' crashing Craters copping the second-half Southern Oregon league pennant In a brilliantly played game at Orants Pass, Ed die Simmons and George Harring ton staging their great 38-hole;olf match for the Southern Ore Jon Northern California title. and Sockeye Jack McDonald b e 1 1- tna Pet. n-i-.. tro Into a daze In the climax to a whopping wrestllng-boxlng card at wo armory. Yes. the double-holldav was nneir. ed full of "big moments" for enthusiasts. Those who attended any one of the above mentioned classic receeo more than their money's worth, and them that took in th. works are probably still shaking with excitement produced by the triple dose of "thrillers." Let's briefly re view the goings-on of the past weekend. Early in the camoalen. .everai rabid baseball bugs of this city came out with the statement that this year's Crater club was the fines! to represent Medford In 10 sessions. It iooks uxe those loyal supporters were not wrong In slzlna- ud the Southern Oregon league entry, with Orant Pass definitely brushed aside ineir pennant drive, the rtrierc have only to wallop the Ko!l-!ess Crescent city Merchants a couple of times In the next three week. t bring to Medford Its first elivutt championship in many moons, we predlot such will be done In twe straight games. Naturally, Eddie Slmmona deserve the lion' share of hurrahs for his grand golf performance Monday at the Rcgue Valley club, when he came from behind a four-hole dlsadvant age at the end of tho first 18 holes to defeat George Harrington, 1 up on the 38th green, for the tourna ment chemplonshlp. But there are plenty of nice words to be said for his opponent, Medford' popular young Junior high school athletic coach. Harrington played really fine golf all through the tournament, providing a minor upset In the acmt-rinals by defeating Hubert Bentley, defending title-holder, and proving that he has made steady Improvement In his game In the past two years. 'Although he was a member or the Llnfleld college golf team for four years, rleorge Is not overly long on ex perience In comparison to many other local shotmakers. This yenr he served notice that from now on he lrlll be among the top fllghters of southern Oregon, Went her.

Shortstop Dick Lewis. whoJs hot when he's hot and cold when he'a cold, was sizzling Sunday, turning In several plays that can c oe called anything but sensa tional. In the ninth Inning, with an enemy runner on. he went clear past second bsse to take a amash and retire the batter at first with an off-balance throw And, Rtney Cook at third base came tin with a pair of guttering defensive maneuv ers, one of them the start of a dou ble killing that almost resulted In a triple play. With (irants Pass runners on second and first, Cook grabbed a ilrlvo to his left, tagged the run ner going to third, and let doing so was knocked down. From a sit ting position on top of the run ner. Cook fired the hall to Cal vert at second base, forcing the runner romlng from first, and Calvert whipped the boll to Hampel at first In a play which missed getting the hitter by a A for that heavyweight prizefight In the armory Monday night, there has probably never before been any thing to equal It tor thrills and spine-tingling action, locally, any way. Neither Sockeye nor Pete allow ed much In the way of boxing abil ity, but for downrUlit slugging act ivity the two can't be beat. They threw 'em until they couldn't stand up, and If "on; of those wild, wind mill wallops of McDonald had ever landed, Pete would have suffered two broken ankles, at least. The 1500 fans who attended missed the cllmsx, however, when Pete and Referee Earl Yoakley exchanged punches In the dressing room after It was all over. Pete figured Yoakley gave him a hasty count of 10 In the second round, when he was KO'd by one of Sockeye right-hand smashes, and attempted to get even with the official. Neither was knocked down In the locker room, but they tossed plenty of fists before .ollce and box ing commissioners halted proceed' lngs. Yoakley Is ft former puglltst, and Is ssld to be extremely handy wtth his dukes. AMATEUR GOLF STARS 10 OPEN TITLE QUEST AT MONT NEW YORK, JSept. 7.
