BOWERMAN- SEEKS E Mentor Experimenting With Two Units in Practice for Axmen's Coming Pow erful Line in Condition Coach Bill Bowerman 1b experi menting with two back field unlU as he attempts to develop a consistent offensive punch for the Medford high versus Eugene high Axmen game here next Friday night. The first unit con sists of BUI Caples, quarter; Jack Bowman, left half: Rodney Stead, right half and Louie Thurman. full. The second unit Is composed of Harry Thurman. quarter; Shorty Campbell, left half: Bill Plche. right half and B:b Newland, full. With the exception of Bob Verblck, end, and John Chtldera, guard, the powerful Tiger line la In good condi tion for the Invasion of the strong Axmen. Vereblck is a doubtful per former, because of his sprained knee, and Chllders will be out for the next two weeks while he recuperates from an attack of flu. A bitter battle Is being waged for the two starting tackle posts, with Hibert and Dale Howard having an edge over Bill Clute and Al Barrow, the mentor stated. Montetth and Mil ler are In good shape at the flanks, Jones and Erl are knocking them dead at the guards, and Prentice at center Is a fixture. Almost 100 applications for reserv ed seat tickets have already been re reived, and school officials predict another huge crowd of from four to 6000. Lombardi of Reds Awarded "Most Valuable" Accolade NEW YORK. Not. 1. vfl Following, as It usually does, the best hitter or the best pitcher In the league, the award for the most valuable player in the National league In 1938 goes to Ernie Lombardi, an Italian playing an American game in a German town. The big Italian who catches for the Cincinnati Reds rolled up 229 points In the voting by the Baaebairwriters' Association of America. He Is the first Cincinnati player ever to win the title. Lombardi has much to recommend him. He led the league in hitting with .343 and according to his man ager. Will McKechnle. had much to do with the success of the Reds' young hurlers this year. He cannot run fast enough- to scare any in flelders but he Is a big, calm, re sourceful catcher with an arm like a bull-whip. Ernie, or "Bosho" as they called him In his salad days at Brooklyn, was placed first on 10 of the 34 ballots of the writers' voting com mittee, a fine percentage considering the opposition. He was 63 points ahead of Bill Lee, the Chicago Cubs' hurler, who finished second. Lee was one of the main reasons for the Cubs perky showing in the late season drive. He worked four days In a row in the final week of the season. His 32nd victory of the year clinched the pennant for the Cubs. Just behind Lee was Arky Vaughan, the Pittsburgh Pirates' shortstop and leading hitter. He wound up with 163 points to Lees 166. Mel Ott. the Giants' perennial boy wonder who topped the league In driving home runs, was fourth and Buck McCormlck. the Reds large rookie first baseman, fifth. McCormlck should be satisfied. Few first year men get that close to the top. Gabby Hartnett. the Cubs' catcher. Mace Brown. Pittsburgh relief hurler and McCormlck all received votes for first place, though not with Lorn bardl's frequency. Ducky Med wick, last year's winner, didn't get one and wound up 11th. Lombardi Is 30 and lives In Oak land. Calif. He came up to Brooklyn from the Coast league but was traded to Cincinnati In 1931. BOWLING SOCKEYE HALTS OVER LOCAL RING Sockeye Jack McDonatd got back Into his winning groove at the Med ford armory last night before & ca pacity crowd- of ladies ntghters, and ; as he d.d so popular Paul Murdock ! lost his first wrestling match of the year here. The big ex-Seattle logger took a bruising two-out-of-three-fall verdict from Murdock. in a main event filled with spectacular action from beginning to end. It took McDonald, ''wrestling clean, 31 minutes to garner the first tum ble. After being weakened by Mur dochs terrific headlocks for the bet ter part of 20 minutes, Sockeye finally revived enough to slam Paul Into the ropes and wham him In the stomach as he rebounded. Twice he did that, the second time prov ing all that Murdock could stand. Ho sunk to the canvas and McDon ald pinned him with a body press, Three minutes later Murdock even ed the score. Twice he smashed Sockeye to the floor with sonnen bers. then climaxed the attack with a flying tackle and body press. Such a beating did Sockeye take in losing that fall that when they came back after the rest period for the third and deciding press, ap peared like Murdock would end things in short order. He whipped McDonald over his shoulder several times with flying mares, but Sock eye gathered himself together and as Murdock rushed at him with a sonnenberg. McDonald caught the Texan under the chin with both hands, flipped him over backwards, and climbed on top for the fall. Pet Brlcastro took two straight falls from Montr LnDue in the sec ond and third rounds of the mid dle event, using his bouncing surf board to do the trick. The match was bitterly fought, with Belcastro per forming in his usual dirty manner and 1-aDue not staying too pure. Prankie Schroll took the lone fall of the opener from Buddy Knox. ulng his devastating crocodile clutch with deadly effect. H was a clean and sparkling match. wJth Schroll applvlng '.he finisher after Knox did effective work with head holds. Pol lowing the fall, Knox was completely unconscious for at least three min utes and was carried to the dress ing room by Referee Earl Yoakley. In a special boxing attraction, lister "Tleer" Robertson. 101, of Salt Lak City and Owen Griffith 113. of AshHnd, wen, three rounds to a draw. The youngsers, both 19 years old. staged a good exhibition for the customers. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Rose Bowl Teams In Stretch Drive; Panthers Favored The halfway mark In this 1938 football season was passed last Sat urday, so from now until the end of November the guys you see huddled on street corners and In barber shops will be discussing no more Important business than which team will meet which In Pasa d e n a's an nual Rose Bowl cxtr a vaganza New Year's Day. The nation's teams are pretty well catalogued now. enough so. the fuels of Rose tut MUy Ha lea. anyway to feed Bowl chatter. Before we come out flatly and tell you what two ball clubs are going to fight It out In the country's most famous "bowl" encounter, let's take a look at those still unbeaten and untied aggregations, all of which ars potential Rose Bowl performers. We'll leave out the Big Ten, which would not send a team If it could, and Santa Clara, apparently barred from the classic by Pacific Coast confer ence bigwigs, etc. In the Coast conference, only Cal ifornia's Golden Bears and the Uni versity of Southern California Tro jans are ttlll In the running. Not mathematically, of course, because the sky could fall In and send UCLA or Stanford or possible Oregon State or Oregon to Pasadena. But. It's a 10 to 1 shot that one or the other will represent the Pacific coast come January 3. 1830. Which team it is will be decided, undoubtedly, next Saturday, when they clash In Los Angeles. With the proper Inducement, we would take a little filer on the Jonesmen. lally, in view of the fact that the Southeastern league has proved such a popular section for choosing Bowl teams In the past. - In the east It's mighty Pitts burg leading the way, as usual, with Dartmouth of the Ivy " league running the Panthers a close second for favoritism among the "experts." pltt, of course, should go on through without a record blemish, although Car negie Tech could cause some trouble and Nebraska won't be a pushover, not to mention Duke again. As for Dartmouth, It U doubtful If the big Green team would accept a Rose Bowl bid, tied up as It Is with those high- hat Ivy leaguers. But It might. Coming back toward home, the only two major undefeated and un tied teams In the middle west are Oklahoma of the Big Six and Notre Dame's Irish. The Sooners probably wouldn't get an Invite regardless of the outcome of their regular season, because Oklahoma. Isn't exactly a big name. Notre Dame, flying high now, must yet face Navy, Minnesota , Northwestern and Southern Califor nia, and It appears only a miracle can carry them through those games without a defeat. Anyway, Notre Dame and Southern California play at Los Angeles, December 3, and an other appearance of Notre Dame In southern California so soon would probably be frowned upon by the gentlemen who count the gate re ceipts. - Dropping down toward the Gulf of Mexico, we come to the Southwest conference, often called the toughest football league In the world. Here. Texas Christian has been sweeping all before It and seems destined to keep right on going without a back ward glance. Remaining on the Horned Frogs slate are Tulsa, Texas. Rice and Southern Methodist, and Rice appears the only one capable of stopping Davey O'Brien, who Is making them all forget . Sammy Baugh. In the Southern conference, the lone Rose Bowl possibility is unde feated and untied Duke, Coached by Wallace Wade, who used to be fit Alabama. Although the Blue Devils are unquestionably plenty powerful, they play Pittsburg November 26. which occurrence should preclude the possibility of them remaining un licked. In the Southeastern confer ence, long dominated by Alabama, number one team la Tennessee. The. Volunteers apparently have only one extra-tough game remaining on their late against Vanderbllt November 13 and they must be considered dis tinct Rom Bowl possibilities, Esptc- In Classic league bowling matches at the Medford alleys last night. Active club beat M and M, 3 to 1; Studebaker beat Maid Rite, 3 to 0, and Ramblers beat Mob tig as, 3 to 0. Sunday, the Medford Ramblers and Medford alley's traveled to Marsh field for three matches with coast bowlers. In addition to taking most of the team-match honors, Roy Prultt and Gorge Eada won the doubles, with Prank Rengstorff and Earl Sims taking second. Earl Sims won second In the singles.

We almost forgot Vlllanova, a fine and un defeated eastern outfit coached hy Maurice (Clipper) Smith, formerly of Santa Clara and of Portland university when It was Columbia. However, like Okla homa, Vlllnnova Isn't quite a big enough name to draw Rose Bowl attention, unless the unforseen happens and those headUnere get netted over while Vlllanova re mains undefeated. Our prediction for the Rose Bowl opponents Is Southern California versus Pittsburg. This writer believes the Trojans will whip California next Saturday and breeze right on through, while Pittsburg appears un beatable from this corner. The win ner of the New Year's game? Well, USC looks good, but oh those serai pros of Jock Sutherland I Pitt, matlei, really has a football club.
