PARE POUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THTTRSDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1938, Sport Graphs Billy Hulen sayi: Ashland to Open Football Season Tomorrow Night IX they didn't have calendars we wouldn't believe It. But, lt'a eo, and what happened to lummer? Tep, old King Football la here again (or his an' nual onslaught against the san Ity of Saturday's millions. It la al most unbellvo' able that time can travel swiftly; It seems only yesterday that the big league baseball boys were baking out under the Florida and Cali fornia aun, pre paring for the pennant r a o a TvsaBaHBS7WM y i: iV -i .- XfAtr BHly Buleu, whlcn are now practical. at the tape It doesn't seem possible, but hero It Is southern Oregon's first grid iron struggle of the brand new season. Ashland high versus Weed, Cal. high tomorrow night under the lamps at Ashland. The Inaugural of s, pigskin campaign that figures to produce more thrills and spills than any other since the game's invention In scheduling such an early-season encounter, skeet O' Con null's Orlz- Blles are beating two of their South ern Oregon opponents to the opening punch by at least one week, and In Medford's case by two. The Tigers swing into action for the first time this season Sept. 80 at Hood River, Klamath Falls opens Its season against Hill Military academy of Portland tomorrow night at Klamath Falls, and Orants Pass plays Its Ini tial game Sept. S3 against North Bend. When the Ashlands take the field tomorrow evening for what figures to be an especially tough opening game. In view of the foot that Weed last year was undefeated, untied and unscored-upon, they will have bad only two weeks drilling, which Isn't much. However, Ashland footballers pounded through an Intensive spring practice program, so they will un doubtedly be actually further along than the 14 days they have worked out this fall. Coach Bill Bowerman and his Black Tornado squad didn't have such nn extensive spring training session, track being the number one sport here In the springtime, so BUI wisely refrained from slat ing hall games for his gridiron , club ;untll he was certain every . player would be In good physical condition. When the Tigers move against Hood River In their open er, the locals will hive had near ly a month of concerted blocking, tackling and other fundamental drills. They will be physically fit, and Injuries should be few and far between. So the Med ford Craters were un able to get a Sunday date with the Portland Beaver for their exhibition game. Such,, anyway, was the word com ing over the ether last night during the broadcast of the Portland-Hollywood game. The announcer listed the games Portland would play on Its barnstorming trip after the Pacific Coast league season, and Med ford Is slated for Tuesday, Sept. 37. Accord ing to the radio announcer, the Bea vers will play Klamath PalU, Sept. SO and Bend twice, Sept. 94 and ?5. That's too bad, as everyone here was hoping the Coast league olub could arrange Its Itinerary to slip a Sunday date In for Its exhibition en counter with the Craters. However. Cobb Hurtles Automobile to New World's Speed Mark BRITISHER MAKES 350.2 M. P. H. ON SALT FLAT Captain Eyston Sees Own Record Fall Will At tempt to Regain Laurels in Remodeled Car Friday BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah Sept. IB. P) Wealthy John R. Cobb of Landon usurped the world's au tomoblle speed throne today with an unprecedented mark of 850.2 miles per hour. The doughty fur broker smashed the record of 345.49 miles per hour established here August 27 by Cant George E. T. Eyston, retired British army officer. Cobb, a new man at high speed racing, flashed through the measured mile at 353.20 going north and 847.16 on the southward Jaunt. Eyston 's average for the north run was 347.40 and for the south 343.51 Kyston Huns Friday Eyston has announced he will run tomorrow, thereby continuing their costly and hazardous duel at speeds In the six miles a minute class. The former officer watched his record fall while flying along the course. His seven-ton "Thunderbolt," with a remodeled nose and tall to perfect the streamlining, has been ready 10 days. Cobb's permit expired this morn ing, leaving the captain, who hoisted the record from 801.205 to 311.42 last November, a clear path for an at tempt to regain his lost honors. Cobb, his black and aluminum- colored racer thundering through the mile at a clip until recently bo lteved Impossible, was timed at 10.19 seconds for the north mile compared with Eyston's 10.3d and at 1.037 for the return sprint, compared with Eyston's 10.48. Cobb's second average was 10.28; Eyston's 10.42. The big Englishman also shatte- the kilometer cord with an aver age of 350.07 miles per hour, com pared with Eyston's mark of 345.21. Driver Jubilant The millionaire fur broker was Jubilant. His aides disclosed he would remain here with his "Railton" and make further runs If Eyston regains the record. As to his sensations, said Cobb: "I Just kept going faster and faster I until It seemed the oar couldn't stand more. My vision was blurred. I could hardly see anything at all. I It's a relief when you pass out of the mile and you can let up on the throttle. It's a comfortable feeling. Cobb said he had the oar at full throttle. "She's got more speed though." he said. "The car dragged Just a little. I'd have been faster, I believe, If the track had been firmer." Fastest on Wheels lu?. j hp- A' A- ' " ,.

Plllshtiry, AAA chief timer, after Cobb had driven his specially designed auto over the Bonneville salt flats n Utah. Cobb failed by three miles per hour of breaking Cant. George Eyeston's mark. In a former attempt, but achieved a new world's record of 350.2 miles per hour In his runs today. (A. P. Photo.)

Cowglll. charging Into several opponents, struck his hesd nalnst a player's back. Dr. J. H. Lundstrom mid the youth suffered a skull fracture. Tuesday Is better than Sstnrday, thr day the game was played laat season. Many business persons and mer chanta can leave their storca for a couple of hours on a Tuesday, where It would be Impossible to do so on Saturday. Portland will make Its barnstorm- , lng Jaunt with the regular lineup j except for' Manager Bill Sweeney. 1 Johnny Frederick and Rosenberg. All j the rest of the first stringers will be j present. Including Crontn and Dickey, j catchers; Jrfterlra. Marshall, Adams. Klntana, Steve Corcoran and several I pitchers. Doc Leonard Melkle, the ; club's trainer for years and years, will again have charge of the boys, j and will probably end up at Fred Krlckson's house eating venison steakA ' like last lesson. j The ( niters will keep their own lineup 1 11 tint for the llea.er game, nilh the prnhnhle excep tion of hrlMKlnit In a pitcher. 11111 l.annlng of Grant nn may he oMulnrd for the gume. I .ami In has spent t 111 season In the rla n Nnrthniftt Arkiinuis league. However, the ('niters may even forego f-hnnglng pitchers, letting l-yle Turpln do the flinging. I.jlr has certainly earned a chance Dick -.Inne'.l, the muscle-miwumjtrr who to?k csre of the Craters all sea son and kept sore and aching wings ind legs at a minimum, has been rutded to the training staff at Orritvn State college, he writes back. Dick left here last Saturday with high hopes of landing the Job. He did and he Is plenty happy. It s a nice break for a good guy who knows his stuff. Crescent Clty'a hopes of 'deadlock ing the playoff series for the South ern Oregon league baseball pennant here next Sunday were given a se vere Jolt yesterday, when It was an nounced that Pitcher Ralph Deo'a In jured arm would not be sufficiently healed to allow him to work for at least 10 days. Word of that setback to Crescent Clty'a championship as pirations was contained In a letter received today from the Merchants' 1 manager, Roy Deo. The big Crescent City righthander toro a muscle In his salary win a, last Sunday In the first game of the title series, which Medford won, 7 to 5. Deo held the Craters run less for six Innings, but hurt his arm In the seventh frame when the locals tallied twice and was batted from the box In the eighth as the Craters scored five times to clinch the encounter. Sub Not Named Manager Roy Deo, In his letter, failed to announce his starting pitcher for next Sunday's big battle here, but it was believed his choice would be Chub Howe, the 18-year- old high school righthander with a high hard one. Manager Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard said today that Lyle Turpln. Klamath Falls youngster, would again appear on the Medford pitching rubber. Tur pln has won three straight games for tho Craters, and another one Sunday will give Medford the South ern Oriyon league pennant for the first time In over 10 seasons. Last Sunday. Turpln allowed nine hits and only one earned run In beating Crescent City. Hoffard stated that Catcher Cliff McLean and Outfielder Tommy White. In Portland this week working out with the Beavers, would probably re turn for the game. However. In case they don't. Billy Calve it will prob ably shift to the catching spot and Waliy Rlckert will take over right field. Harmon to t'mplre Because of considerable squabbling at Crescent City last Sunday, Lefty Harmon of Klamath Falls, former umpire In professional baseball, has been signed to officiate here nrxt Sunday. Hoffsrd announced. He Is a neutral umpire, and Is expected to i keep a white-hot situation from ex ploding Into a riot. The Craters will hold their final practice session of the week Friday at fl p.m. at the high school field, and all players are requested to re port.

(DP) If ever a football coach was handed Bn opportunity to utilize the hocus. pocus of applied psychology In fash lonlng a winning football team, that man Is William H. Spaulding of Unl. verslty of California at Loa Angeles. After .a 14-year period of service, during which he lifted the Bruin from the cellar of a neighborhood circuit to the upper brackets of the Pacific Coast conference, Spaulding must retire from coaching duties at the end of this season. Trite but true, this fact may make or break the 1938 D. C. L. A. varsity. Never Consistent Consistency never has been a prom lnent attribute of a Bruin team, but this year fan and expert alike is regarding the usual now-hot-now cold eleven with apprehension. The reason la simple; the boys want to end the season In the Rose Bowl and Spauldlng's active career In fanfare of trumpets. Whether or not It can be done rests with the reserve strength. In past years Spaulding always has been able to muster a moderately strong first string. But when the veneer wore through the Bruin collapsed. He admitted this himself when he faced his 22 returning lettermen and said: "We have one layer of old linemen. Improvement, If any, must come from new players. They look good. The question Is "How fast can they learn? Answer that and you will know how good or bad we'll be." Lack Fullbatk The squad lacks a strong fullback and reserve guards. Bus Sutherland. Don Hesse and John Zaby are reserve fulls, and will vie with two sopho mores. Bill Overlln and Warren Has- lam. Co-captatn George Pfelffer Is the only outstanding right guard while Jack Sommers, a graduate of Mercerburg, Pa, academy, apparently is taking tne play from John Prawley and Jack Cohen on the left side. The. other positions; Center John Ryland, one of the strongest linemen on the coast. Sherman Phlnny will backstop. Tackles Slats Wyrick, Del Lyman and Jack McDonald, all big and powerful, on the left side. Mladln Zarublca and Brewster Broadwell on the right. Ends Woodrow Wilson Strode, giant Negro star, has the right side clinched. Left Is open to Joe E. Brown. Jr., son of the movie come dian: Bob Nash and Jim Mitchell, 1937 players. Quarterback No star but three TSAKOFF TO FACE AI-H STAR Tiger Tsakoff, the Bulgarian block of granite, who apparently can't be nurt by any of the current grappling huskies, and Alvln Brltt. former Junior heavyweight champion, will ciosn in tne main wrestling event at ' the Medford armory next MnnrtAv 1 nlRht. Promoter Mack Llllard an nounced today.

IN FOREST HILLS. N. T.. Sept. 15. (AP) Foreign competitors, visibly uneasy, were spending more time around the press box asking for the latest "war" news frpm Europe than In watching the matches as the national tennis championships reach ed the quarter-final stage today. Except for a pair of Australians. Jack Bromwich and Harry Hopman, they all had been eliminated fiom the men's title hunt, leaving six Americans In virtual command of the situation. But the defeated Brit ish. French and Yugoslav delegates still were around, wondering If they would receive calls to hurry home and not to go on west for the Pa cific coast events. - Henner Henkel was the only Ger man sitting In the players' stand. He was ordered to retuin home a fortnight ago. Top Interest In the tournament today was centered on the quarter final tilt between Gene Mako and Gilbert Hunt, Jr., two unseeded young men with big Ideas. The other men's duel was between Bromwich and Joe Hunt, young American Davis cup team alternate, with Bromlch a decided favorite on the strength of his crushing three set defeat of Frankle Parker two days ago. The women's quarter-final matches paired Dorothy Bundy against the machine-like Madame Rene Mathleu of France, and Margot Lumb of England against Nance Wynne of Australia. BOWLING!

There are some who do not care who wins the World Series, and many another whose idea of a grand slam is a home run with the bases loaded. Yet however widely their environments and tastes may differ, people have one thing in common they read the newspaper. An authentic survey reveals that an average of 98 per cent read one or more news stories: 90 per cent read picture pages: 68 per cent read the comics: 60 per cent oddity cartoons, and department-store ad vertising is read by 73 per cent of the women. Newspapers do not depend on one "star" or attrac tion as these are only a few of some fiftv different attractions that draw all members of the family to newspapers and the advertisements in them. Another survey, as recently reported In Time showed that nearly all families read newspapers-' 91 per cent regularly.
