Sport Graphs Billy Hulen say a: Medford Teams Reign Supreme Throughout 1938 This sports year of 1938, quickly drawing to a close, has been great in many respec.s. So far as Modford Is m I , concerned, It has u n d o u btcdly been tho most successful of all p si 7 1 1 m"o. and we make that state ment fully aware of the fact that "all time' takes we In a considerable slice of history Nevertheless, we don't believe there has ever before been year In which Medford athletic teams and individuals so completely dominated the situation ns they have since January 1, 1038. Medford, for the remainder of this year, at lenst, can truly be termed "The City of Champions." For, there was not a slnplo major Medford ath letic team during the past 11 months that didn't win the championship In Its league or conference. Every local team of 1038 Is a title-holder. Pans of this village, the whole year long have rooted for nothing but the very best. It ban been a clean sweep, a decisive and definite supremacy for Medford tenuis and Indivlunls over all opponents. Not only In one siwrt. or two, hut In all of them banket- ball, ba.tfbnU, football, track and solf While we don't wi.-tf. to flaunt the record of thla amazing string of championships In the foeee of other southern Oregon cities leas fortunate. we believe that such grand perform ances of our athlets should receive more than passing mention. Such a fine year mav never occur agnin; the odds are loo to t ncnltm it. Ro. briefly, lets look buck over lt38 at Med ford's march of champions, start ing with the first team of the year and continuing In order. ticket hall The Tigers of Medford high, for the first time In four years, won the dis trict 0 championship and entered the st n t e t ou r n i me n t .

The TiKers won seven first places in the 14 events In the district battle, and tt-ere not closely pressed at any time.

The locals won the second half of the split sea son, then defetitcd Crescent City. Cal f!rt-h,.lf champions, two straight jiiunrs m the playoff series. Atten dance was also the best In many seasons. TT A 4 r t 'bit 0 ' V !. 4 ( -cJ 1 ' 4 V Golf The anuual Southern Oregon Northern Callfornle. Invitational golf tournament at the Rogue Valley Oolf club saw two young Medford stars, George Harrington and Eddie Sim mons, battle it out In the finals. Sim mons emerged the victor after a sen sational uphill battle that was de cided on the 36th green. It was the first time In the history of the tour ney that two Medford players clashed in the finals. Football V The memory of Medford high's Black Tornado of this season Is still fresh enough In the minds of fans that Its record doesn't have to be re peated. Suffice It to say that the Tigers won the Southern Oregon con ference title without the loss at a game. As those championship teams swept forward, brushing ali opponents aBlde, there were rauny thrills for the cus tomers, heart-stopping moments ga lore. In looking back over this great sports year, we havo trlod to single out the one ocouronce out there on the scene of action that gave us the blggcf.t kick, the most dramatic In cident In a long chain of thrilling happenings. We ore unabhi vo name one, because there wero two that, to us, were equally electrifying. Ono wab that screaming, srreetclilnn triple with the liases Jummed that Paul Hofft.nl hit aitalnst Crescent City In the nlndup (tame of the Southern Oregon baseball league's first half flag clmsR. The terrific blow put Medfnrrt ahead, and al though Crewent City ultimately won the game, the hit was one of Hie two most, thrilling things we snw In Mrrifiinl all year. , Tho other Incident, of course, was Don Montelth's catch of that wobbly forward pass thrown by Jack Bow man Into the end zone In the Med-ford-Klamath Palls football game. Montelth snnpged tho pigskin, no body knows how. to give the Tor nado its a to o victory over the Pelicans, and the conference cham pionship.

Barker NEW TORS, Deo. 14- (AP) By a margin aa dectelve aa thatr Ameri can league and world aerie a triumphs, the New York Yankee were named today aa the outstanding aporu team for 1938. Joe McCarthy's Bombers who ere- - ated a new all-time record by whip ping the Chicago Cubs, tour games to none, for their third aucce salve world baseball championship, were named at the top of the heap by 01 of the 67 aporu editors participating In the eighth annual Associated Press poll. Three other sports editors picked the Yankees for the No. 2 spot and three for No. 3, thus giving the baseball title-holders a total of 192 points out of a possible 201. Points were awarded on the basis of three for No. 1 ranking, two for No. 3 and one for No. 3. Football gained the next three places with Texas Christian's un beaten Horned Progs as runner-up to the Yankees with 46 points. Close behind came Notre Dame and Duke whose unbeaten, untied and unscor ed on Blue Devils will play South ern California In the Rose bowl Jan uary 2. Notre Dame's high finish came as a surprise In view of Its defeat by Southern California on De cember 3 but could be explained partly by the fact a considerable number of ballots were cast prior to that date. The support given Notre Dame in early ballots probably other wise would have been split by Texas Christian and Duke. Navy's o a r S m e n. Poughkeepste champions, landed In fifth place.

Dec. 14-(AP) Lou Nova, the handsome young Callfor nlan who will trade buffets with Tommy Parr, the willing Welsh heavyweight. Friday night, wishes people would stop talking about a fight with Joe Louis, because "I have to beat that Parr and that's a real Job." Ever since he stopped the durable Gumiar Burlund there has been talk of matching htm with Louis in an outdoor show next summer. His manager, Ray Carlln. still U warm under the wesklt because Oene Tun ney and Jack Dempsey made a point of telling the boxing writers Lou was being brought along too fast. "I don't know why they say that," said Lou aa Carlln started to sputter st mention of the Incident. "I fought a lot as an amateur here and abroad, I've had plenty of fights on the coast I knocked out Bob Nestell out there and X stopped Ounnar Bar lund here In New York. Z think I'm ready for Farr." Barlund had knocked him down and, as the Ounnar never was classed as a superior puncher, there was some doubt about Lou's ability to fight a tough customer like Farr over a 16 round route. "Well, I don't like to alibi," said Lou, "but X didn't feel so good for that fight. X didn't have much time to train and I was sick after X got here. Then that Garden gets you the first time you're on as a main bout fighter." Medford Poultry & Egg Co. Is Now Receiving Turkeys for Highest Cash- Prices At The Morton Mill 10 W.
