Determined by a poll of head
coaches and sports writers in Ash
land, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls
and Medford, The Mall Tribune to
day presents Its fifth annual Ail
Southern Oregon conference football
selections Its roll of honor for the
boya who this year thundered across
the gridirons of one of the toughest
prep leagues In the state.
The 1038 all - star aggregations,
composed of the finest pigskin per
formers In the four-team southern
Oregon loop, were named solely by
the players' own coaches and by
writers who saw them In victory
and In defeat. Each coach and each
writer selected his own all-conference
teams, and this final result Is
the consensus of those best qualified
to single out the star players, and
award them the honor and glory
they deserve.
On Point Basis
Positions on the two teams, and
for honorable mention, were gained
on a point basis. For every first team
nomination on the teams selected
by the coaches and writers, the
players received two points. For every
second team mention, one point.
These points were tabulated by The
Mail Tribune, and the grldders were
placed on the teams according to
the number of points they received
at their respective positions. Honor
able mention waa given to all play
era who polled three or more points
and who didn't "make" either the
first or second eleven.
To the undefeated oonference
champions of Medford, and to the
once-beaten Pelicans of Klamath
Falls goes the honor of placing four
players each 'on the first team.
O rants Peas' Cavemen gain two posi
tions on the first eleven and the
OrlBzltea of Ashland complete the
lineup with one man named.
On the second outfit, Klamath
Falls, Medford and Ashland are all
awarded three posts, while the
Cavemen are successful In landing
a pair of players on the next-best
team.
' Erl Is Repeater
To Wallace Erl, Med ford 'a great
right guard, goes the distinction of
bedng the only first-team repeater
from the 1037 all-conference selec
tions. However, Ashland's Charlie
Warren, tiny but mighty quarter
back, again la accorded a first-team
position after one year's lapse. War
ren wss on the first team In 1938,
his sophomore season, but dropped
back to the second eleven In 1037.
Don Montelth, Medford end and
BlU Caples, Medford quarterback,
move up from last year's second
team. Med ford's Jack Bowman Is
again on the second team, and Ash
land's Joe Jewel loses the first team
berth he held last season to slide
back to the second outfit, appar
ently because his team was weaker.
All other players on both teams
are newcomers to the role of honor.
All coaches and writers. In addi
tion to selecting their own teams,
named a captain for each team. For
the highest honor to be bestowed
first team captain the balloters
chow BUI Csples, the dynamic, rip
ping and haid-hltttng blocking quar
terback of Med ford's Black Tornado.
Caples, the Inspiration of a Tiger
team which didn't lose a conference
game, received two nominations for
the first team leadership and three
for the second team captaincy. Ho
barely nosed ot Ashland's Warren,
who was named captain of the first
team on two ballots and head of
the second eleven on two selections.
Bowman Captain
Medford's Jumping Jack Bowman,
who missed "making" the first team
by one vote, was nominated captain
of the second aggregation with three
votes for the honor. No other mem
ber of the second, team received a
vote for the captaincy.
Tiny Bobby Anacker, sensational
sophomore left halfback of the Klam
ath Falls Pelicans, wss, the most
popular player In the oonference
with the coaches and wrltera. The
140-pound flash, who sprinted the
legs off most all opponents In his
first year of varsity action, received
the greatest number of votes of
any player. Out of a possible 18
points (first team men ton from
every coach and writer), Anacker re
ceived IS mark As, only three shy
of unanimous first team mention.
BUI Caples of Medford. Left Tackle
Lee Mayfleld of Klamath Falls and
Right End Don Montelth of Med
ford all polled 13 points. On the
second team, Medford's Bob Verblck,
loft end, and Medford's Bowman, j
back, each had 10 points, the highest :
number of points of any second team
grid tier and ordinarily enbugh to
earn them first team positions. How
ever, balloting was so close at the
flanka and In the backfleld that
they were forced to move back to
the second eleven.
Positions Not Named
The backs, this year, are not
named to certain positions, being
designated merely as "backs." Most
all coaches shifted their ball-carriers
from one position to another during
the course of the season, and as a
result several were named to dif
ferent posts on the all-star teams of
the coaches and writers. For In
stance, Bowman received votes at
three backfleld positions. Thus, to
place the four backs receiving the
greatest number of votes on the
first team, the designation to cer
tain posts had to be eliminated. As
a result, the first team backfleld Is
actually composed of two quarter
backs. Warren and Caples, and two
left halfbacks. Anacker and Ownbey,
although all those four received votes
at two positions.
The mythical first team. If it
could move onto a gridiron Intact,
would boast practically every requis
ite of a great high school machine
Although It might need a Une
plunglng fullback, It would possess
terrific offensive speed In Anacker,
Ownbey and Warren and magnifi
cent backfleld blocking in Caples.
Any one of the first three named
would be apt to go the whole dis
tance in one sharp shot. On defense,
there would be few forward passes
completed into the secondary.
Great Line Chosen
The line, although rather light
at a 167-pound average, would dls-
A
play aavage offensive charge and
knock-'em-dead tackling. It would
have speed to spare and spirit to
burn, and would have a fine place
klckar and klcker-off in Erl. It
would exhibit marvelous down field
and line blocking for the brilliant
broken-field runners In the back
fleld. Coaches who cooperated In the
selections were Forrest ( Bkeet)
O'Connell of Ashland, BlU Bower
man of Medford, Arthur (Bnowy)
Quatafson of Klamath Falls and
Loren Tuttle of Grants Pass. Writers
were Asshel Bush of the Klamath
News-Herald, Larry Hunter of the
Ashland Tidings, Roy Bheedy of the
Grants Pass Courier and Bill Hulen
of The Mall Tribune. Award cards
to all players on the first and sec
ond teams and to those making
honorable mention will be mailed
by The Mail Tribune In the near
future. ;
Following are the players with
their qualifications and the number
of points they received in the bal
loting: Ends
Don Montelth. Medford. (13). This
146-pound senior waa one of the
greatest wlngmen ever to see action
In Tiger uniform. A sensational pass-
receiver, It was his "Impossible1
catch of a touchdown toss that gave
Medford Its 0 to 0 win over Klamath
Falls, and he came up with spec
tacular grabs In almost every game.
He was Impregnable on defense.
Royal Mooers, Grants Pass fll). A
rangy, scrappy 175-pounder. Mooers
was so well respected that he re
ceived two nominations for the first
team captaincy. He was one of the
two bright lights on a rather be low -par
Caveman team.
Bob Verblck. Medford. (10), and
Joe Jesse! , Ashland, (7), would glad
den the heart of any coach. Both
were great defensive players, and
Jessel could snag aerial tosses with
the best of them- Verblck, called by
his coach "the finest end I have
ever seen In high school football,"
waa nosed out of a first team post
by one point.
Tackles
Lee Mayfleld, Klamath Falls, (131.
A 300-pound slasher, he was the best
liked tackle in the conference by
the coaches and .writers. He didn't
play last year, but was a regular In
1036. He and eaulaberry, other Pell-
can tackle, msde the team's high
powered attack click by opening gap
ing holes in opposing forward walls.
Walter Baulsberry, Klamath Falls,
(10). Rather small for a tackle, 168
pounds, Saulsberry came up from
last year's Klamath Wildcats to
wreak havoc with the enemy. He'
blocked and tackled like a fiend, and I
will be back for more action next
season.
Lyndel Newbry. Ashland, (6), and!
Al Barrow, Medford, ' (6), were not
far behind the two Klamath tackles
In all-around efficiency. Ifewbry
stood out on defense, as did Bar
row, and both were fine blockers.
Guards
Wallace Erl. Medford, (10). A
smashing blocker and a solid rock
when the opposing team had the
ball, he was a coaches plsyer; not
spectacular, but the acme of de
pendability. He weighed 170 pounds,
and will be graduated thla sptlng.
Especially valuable In converting the i
point-after-touchdown.
Frank Webber, Klamath Falls, (10).
A backfleld man In 1037, he was moved
this season to the guard spot be
cause of his blocking .ability. He
led most of the Pelicans' power plays
off tackle and was a terror pn de
fense.
Kenneth Wilson, Klamath Falls.
(0), and Roy Davidson, Grants Pass,
(6), were mainstays of their respec
tive teams. Wilson received five votes
for guard and four for tackle.
Centers
John Prentice. Medford, (11). He
Just did heat out Klamath's Charles
Coffman (10) for the first team
snapper-back position. Prentice, a
senior weighing 160 pounds, was a
keen diagnostician of enemy plays
and helped back up the Tornado
lite In vicious fashion. Coffman. tip
ping the scales at 300 pounds, was
the equal of Prentice In almost every
respect, and was named by Medford
as the best center they played
against all season.
Backs
Charles Warren, Ashland, (11). He
wss the sparkplug of the Griazly
team, a deadly tackier on defense
and a smart, shifty and speedy ball
carrier on offense. He played safety
and his punt returns were beautiful
to aee.
Robert Anacker, Klamath Falls,
(13). Undoubtedly one of the most
amazing mall-packers ever to per
form in southern Oregon. Almost
unbelievably fast and clever, he
broke loose for touchdown gallops
ranging In length from 36 to 00
yarda In every game In which he
played.
William Caples. Medford, (13.) He
played blocking quarterback most of
the season, and It was largely because of
his devtastatlng mop-up work that
other Tiger backs were able to rip
off long gains through the tackles
and around end. He was also a fair
passer and kicker, doing both with
his left hand and foot. Definite col
lege material. Weight 176, which
makea him the biggest man In the
mythical backfleld.
Blondel Ownbey. Grants Pass, (11),
This speedster provided the Cave
men with their most dangerous of
fensive threat. Like Anacker, he was
a "climax" runner from way back,
and was liable to hit the end zone
from any point on the field. Ran
rather wild against Medford. An
other half-plnter at 141 pounds.
Jack Bowman, Medford, (10); Archie
Anderson, Klamath Fails, (7); Ken
neth Harris, Ashland, (6); and Ralph
Lannlng. Grants Pass. (5), would
form another excellent backfleld
quartet, with emphasis on power
and breakaway speed. Bowman was
probably the fastest halfback In
the conference, and was a "money"
player -all season. His 60-yard run
tied Bend and led to an ultimate
Medford victory, and hla forward
pass beat Klamath Falls. Anderson
waa second only to Anacker as
Klamath's big scoring gun. Harris
and Lannlng provided the straight
ahead power for Ashland and Grants
Pass, and Harris wss a fine forward
passer. 4
FAMILY FEUD AT
It will be practically a family feud
