"The City of Champions." For, there
was not a slnplo major Medford ath

that didn't win the championship In
Its league or conference. Every local
team of 1038 Is a title-holder. Pans

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

sports year, we havo trlod to single
out the one ocouronce out there on

happenings. We ore unabhi vo name

Instead, he proposed a 19-year-age
limit with the provision a boy must
attend school the two semesters pre
ceding his athletic competition.

dents dropped out of school for a

Yankees Outstanding Team
Is Verdict in A. P. Balloting
t
By Herbert W. 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

a jump ahead of the U. S. Davis cup

LOUIS FIGHT CHAM
UNTIL HE WHIPS FARR
NHJW YORK. 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."
