Main nmr lb Prldff Vnlln mniiimfnl of Rurl Mm If you were Asked to namr the moat vMunblc player on the Crater baseball team, the ' one man moat responsible for bringing to Med ford Its first pen nant In a decade. what would your answer be? Well, that ques tion was popped to yours truly after the locals belted Crescent City over Sun day, and the first name that skid od on the end of our tongue and at m os t dropped off was Lyle Tur- i pin, tho kid pttchor who tossed the Craters to the bunting by winning the Inst four nmes.

However, wo started to think back over the entire season and check the boys who were In t here every Sunday during tho long, old crlnd, and Turpi n'a name never did slip on our tongue. Important as Tur pin was lri the prnnnnt scheme, im port as all pit Tilers are. especially n oush boll, there were a eoupV of other Crater pin vera who, wo sin cerely believe, had more to do with Medford'a drive to the peak than dtd tho likeable, steady and at times brilliant, Tnrpln, Those players aro Cliff Mrlsean, cotcher, and Man ager Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard, left- fielder.

Ilnffnrd ended the seiiHon nlth a batting nver nge of .414. second only to orvitl llanipel, ami his ilefennhv per fnrnmnce nil year was well nigh perfect. He made one error In 23 games. To single one of those two grand pastlmera out for Use so-called most valuable playor honor la too much for this bralnstormer. If we owned a ball club and had pur choice of either McLean or Hoffard, not both, we would flip a coin to decide things. The one thin that ml;ht possibly swing our hesitant ballot to Hoffard Is tho fact that the rest of the Craters played like the very dickens for him whon he took over the manngershlp near tho end of the second half, which proved pe has plonty of qualities of leadership. While the Chief and "Pop" were outstanding. In otir opinion, you can't forgot Dick Lewis, who went great guns during the last month and a hair and Tommy White, the slugging right fielder. Nor con you forget Dick Snkrnlda, whose fielding gems In center field all year .cut off many a oasenit, Biny Calvert, who has at last found his natural position on second baso after catching, thlrd baalng and otitfleldlng for the past several yoars. Nor Hnmpol, who wound up tho season with an amazing bat ting average of .683. although not playing In many games. In fact, you can't fonget any or these Craters, who brought to Medtord this year the rinest baseball it has seen In years. In other words, we give tt up. trying to Rlngle out the outstanding players of the whole works. Write your own ticket. Northwestern university eleven, a press report from there reveals. Joe weighs 187 pounds and Is nnlriered an almost certuinty to see some action, regardless of whether he heats out Bob Volghts and Tom Irving, two lettermen, for the regular starting berth. He Is a Junior. Bobby Ettlnger, the small package of dynamite who led the Black Tot nado to the Southern Oregon con ference title last season, has regis tered at Oregon State college, and will turn out for Rook football and a backfleld spot. A three-time all- conference back hereabouts, the boy should crack the Book club nicely. If they give him a chance to carry mat nail or do a little blocking. If he could pass or punt, he would be a cinch. SEALS, SENATORS FIRS! GAME PLAYOFF SERIES SAN FRANCISCO, Sept.
