It will be remembered, , the team which etarted very slowly in 1938, then plcited up apeed at the tall end of the campion to defeat Salem and tie Eugene. For those who law Eugene play here laat year, the full Import of Corvallla' .... m deadlocking the Axemen will be readily apparent. The Spartans are starting thl sea arm under a new coach, who la well known to local grid coachee, playera and fane. He la Frank Bamaey, for mer Oregon State college atar and laat year mentor or tne capauio FJameth Falls Wlldcata. a team which comparea to the Medford high nnhmDn aiutresatlon. Ramsey. In ku one vear at Klamath Falla, turned In an excellent Job and was napped up by Corvallla to handle the head coaching work. Use Medford, the Spartana held a summer training camp, and upon the squad's return Ramsey released a atatement that thla year'a team showed prospecta of developing Into the beat In several years. The Cor vallla grlddera spent two weeka at Newport beach, so are one week ahead of the Tigers, who were seven 4ays at Lake of the Woods. Corvallla will send a really huge team against the Tigers. Among the six returning vet crane from the 1838 team are ',: Roger Anderson, S25, and Del ' Pitney, 200, both tackles. Bud '' Parker, veteran guard,' weighs 182, and several other huskies are In lino for the other guard ' post. Ken Ramey la a returning i. letterman at right end. The other and of last Jear, Mardls Lemon, has been shifted to the left half ' position. He weighs abont X10. Tor the center position are Therl Nevllls, 180, and neorge YVar - mon, 18A. Tha backfleld won't be quite ao beefy aa the forward wall, probably about the aame aa Medford's ball earrylng quartet. Sammy Bryan, two year veteran, welgha about 160, and will play right half. Don January. 188, la a transfer from Marshdeld high and will alternate with Jack VanFossen, laat year'a second stringer, at fullback. Tha latter la a middle weight. Dan Reynolda and Jack For aythe, Inexperienced and rather light, are the two quarterbacka. Corvallla has played no games to date, ao It strength can't be gauged. However, aporta wrltera In the Wil lamette valley are unanimous In declaring the Spartana will be one of the red-hot clubs In that dis trict, ranked right alongside Eugene high at the top. Dont be surprised If the lod- dies are still playing baseball In this neck of the woods about .", the time U. S. C. and Tennrssee go to work in the Rose Howl game New Year's Buy. For a movement It underway to bring together the Medford Craters. Southern Oregon league playoff champs, and the plnyoff winners In the Northern California cir cuit either the Klamath Falls Red Sox or the .Mr (loud Lug rots. The Red Sox and Loggers clashed laat Sunday In the ftrnt game of a three-game scries for the N. C. L. playoff title, with McCloud beating Clyde Cartstrom, Cliff McLean and the Klamath boys, 8 to 1. Second tilt will be plnyed In Klamath Falls next Sabbath. While It would be an Interesting aeries If the two loop champs could manage to tangle. It would stretch the bnspbnll sranon out to absurd lengths. The wny It Atanda now, this series mlht not start until October J8, which Is getting along in the autumn. If Klamnth wins next Sun day another game will be necessary, shoving the Intra-lengue series opener back to tho above mentioned date. Then, If the two league winners play a three- gnme set, the ball season possibly may last until October 90. That, friends. Is right In the middle of the football seaiion, not to men tion the cold weather which can be expected. If McCloud beats Klamsth Palls next Sunday, thus ending their series In two games, and Medford and McCloud could get together for one gsme. it wouldn't be so bad. But, if Klamnth wins and then the Medfords and the N. C. L. winner start off on a three-tilt series Octo ber IB, everybody will be eo tired of the pastime the clubs probnbly fists II . rjt" , f ., food Cincinnati Reds REDS Will ONE TILT OF NATIONAL LEAGUEJENNANT Myers' Homer Gives CIncy 3-1 Win in Opener I Cooper Elbows Cards to 6 to 0 Victory in Second By BILL WHITE, AskOclatFd Prvu Sports Writer. Thl may corns turprtM, but there were tx other games played In the major leagues yesterday dn addition to the Cincinnati -St. Louis feud or the National league title. But none of the others had bearing on a championship, which 1b why the Cincinnati cyclorama was given so much prominence, If you didn't know. The Reds moved so close they al most could touch the pannsnt by dividing the opening double-header of their crucial four-game series yes terday. Billy Myers' homer made him the hero of the first game's 3-1 Red victory. Then Mort Cooper hurled the Cardinal to a convincing 8-0 decision In the second. Fire to play This Is how the pennant race looks now: Games Games Won Lost Behind to Play Cincinnati ....94 M 8 St. Louis 80 88 3 'A 8 (x) There was cheering In Flatbusb as well as In Clncy last night, for the Brooklyn Dodgers wound up their inter-city rivalry with the New York Otants to hold a 13-10 margin In the year's series. The Giants won yesterday's first game, 0-8, due largely to Carl HUb bell'a fine hurling and his home run after spotting the Dodgers five runs. The Dodgers came back in the afterpiece to win, 3-2. Klrby Hlgbe tamed the Boston Bees by allowing them only 10 hits, thus ending Philadelphia's six-game losing streak. Homers by Marty and Letchas helped him win, 8-3. Browns Sink Deeper In the American league, the Phila delphia Athletics clubbed four Wash ington pitchers for ltf hits to win. 18-4. The Detroit Tigers helped the St. Louis Browns reach an all-time low, handing the St. Louis club Its 108th and loath defeats.
