Corvallit Score

Gridiron Clients
This Medford high football sta
drum, no matter how long It con
tinue! to be the scene of grid war-
fare, will probably never see a
freakier or more quickly gained
touchdown than that acored by Cor
Tallla Friday night on the opening
klckoff of the game. The odda are
many thousand to one that a aim-
liar play will NEVER again occur to
aetound ana puzzie xocai cueni.
When that long Corvallla klckoff
aalled Into the end tone, to be re
covered by the Spartans for a touch-
down, one of the game'a rarest
acorlng-plays waa unfurled to the
amazement of all concerned. It nap-
pened ao auddenly. Just aa long na
It took Roger Anderson, Corvallla
taokle. to run 60 yards and Ian on
the ball, that hardly anyone realized
what actually happened. It waa all
over In considerably less than 10
seconds, which la pretty fast scoring
after the opening whistle, in fact,
we don't see how It could be any
quicker.
Many fans, after the game,
till didn't understand how Cor
fallls could score on the play
and they can't be blamed for
their bewilderment. The likes of
such a situation had never be
fore come to their attention.
They had witnessed countless
klckoffs sail over the goal line
and the ball brought out to the
to-yard line and given to the re
ceiving team, so when apparent
ly the same sort of a boot was
turned Into six points for the
klrklng team they were under
standably tied up In a mental
knot.
Tea, that klckoff waa no different
than hundreds of others, up to a
certain point. Like all those others
It floated Innocently Into the end
one, but here the similarity ended.
It ended when Medford failed to
touch down the ball, producing an
automatic touchback, which In turn
would have given the Tornado pos
session of the leather on Its own
30-yard line, first and 10, with no
score. (A touchback, by the way, Is
not a scoring play, as some persons
believe. It's a safety that counts two
points).
The ball, If it had been touched
down by Medford, would Immediate
ly have been called a "dead" ball
and taken to the 20-yard line. But,
until the oval Is touched down It
la "live" and In play, subject to
recovery by the kicking team. This
la Just what happened, corvams re
covered the ball In the end zone.
when the Tigers didn't touch It down,
and thus gathered In six points.
Anothsr question that has puzzled
many fana la, how come Corvallla
players were eligible to recover the
ball? The answer Is, they were on
alde at the klckoff. In other words,
the Spartans were BEHIND the ball
when It was kicked, making eaoh of
them eligible to gain possession of
the pigskin by recovering It at any
point on the field,
Everybody haa seen teams attempt
onslde klckoffs by booting the ball
toward the sidelines, hoping the ends
can recover the ball downfleld. The
play Friday night was basically the
same, although It was unintentional
Instead of planned.

NEW FORK, Oct. S. (AP)
Charley (Red) Ruffing. big
right-hander, definitely was
named today by Manager Joe
McCarthy of the New York Yan
kee to pitch the opening world
series game against the Cincin
nati Reds. National league cham
pions, tomorrow.
Ruffing, who has been suffer
ing from a sore arm for several
weeks, worked out nt length at
the Yankee stadium this morn
ing. After he was through, Mc
Carthy announced that the red
head apparently was In shape
again.
By J u (I son Bailey
NEW YORK. Oct. 8. (AP) A
pitching problem, of all things, had
the New York Yankee master minds
fretting today aa the world cham
pions and the Cincinnati Reds re
hearsed for tomorrow's opening act
of the 1939 world aeries.
Charles (Rufiu the Red) Buffing,
rugged, righthander who started the
first game of the series last year,
and also opened the all-star game
for the American league In July, has
had an arm ailment. He vowed he
was ready to work, but up until the
Yankees struggled onto the soggy
turf of Yankee stadium for practice
today (about 11 a. m.. E.S.T.) Man
ager Joe McCarthy had not decided
whether to lead with .bis ace.
"Big Red" Inactive
Ruffing has not thrown a business
ball since the middle of September
when the last place St. Louis Drowns
chiseled 13 hits off him in less than
nine Innings.
If the Yankee skipper should de
cide to hold back Ruffing, he un
doubtedly would open with Monte
Marcellua Pearson, chunky Callforn
lan who won one gome In each of
the last three world series for the
Yanka.
Lefty Gomez, Just out of a hos
pital and still taped on the back and
side where he strained a muscle, did
not rate consideration for the first
two games, and his appearance at
any time during the series was in
doubt.
The Reds arranged to follow the
Yankees onto the stadium field
(about 1 p. m.) this afternoon for
a trial workout. Manager Will Mo
Kechnle already had settled on Paul
Derringer to hurl the first game for
tne National league champions,
Walters In Second
Bucky Walters, the converted in
flelder who combined with Derringer
to win 62 games during the season,
waa certain of the second game aa
slgnment.
Uncertainty surroundtnr the Yan
kee pitching caused bookmakers to
shift their odds slightly. They cut
the three-time chnmplons from ft
against 17 to 6 against 10. and on
the Reds were laying 13 to 6 In
stead of 14 to B, which they gave
yesterday.
The vanguard of baseball lumin
aries and out-of-town fans began
swarming Into Manhattan late yes
terday and sent Interest in the series
spurting upward. Crowds In excess
of flO.000 appeared assured for the
two games tomorrow and Thursday.

Cavemen Show
From Ashland,
(Editor's Mote: This Is the first of
by Bernle Hughes, ex-Mcdford high. University of Cregan and profes
sional star, dealing with high school grid teams of southern Oregon.
He writes today about the Grants.. Pass-Ashland game of last Friday,
which he witnessed In the role of referee.)
(By Bernle Hughes.)
The Grants Pass Cavemen, In open
ing the Southern Oregon conference
season with a 13 to 0 victory over
the Ashland high Orlzzltes, showed
a strong team In the making. They
have speed In the backfleld as well
aa weight and speed In the line, and
showed a big Improvement over their
performance of two weeks ago. when
they lost to Dunsmulr, Cal.
The Grants Pass blocking and
tackling were much Improved, aa was
their execution of plays, I believe
they are a team that can cause Med
ford or Klamath Falls a lot of trouble
If given half a chance.
Backs who were Impressive for the
Cavemen were Pruess, a very rugged
and hard-running fullback, and
Pierce and Newman, two very shifty
halfbacks. Grants Paw has a well
balanced line, although their guards
are light but fast. Their tackles
are good-sized and they have a fine
set of ends. Royal Mooers turned
In a good game at end.
On offense the Cavemen showed
very little of what can be expected
of them. They relied almost en
tirely on a strong end run and an
off tackle play, with a wing back
In motion blocking the defensive
end or tackle at the line of scrim
mage. They also showed a good
passing attack, but on the other
hand revealed a weakness on pass
defense.
Ashland displayed a well-coached
but much lighter aggregation, and
could not aeem to get any of the
breaks. The Orlzzllea also were ap
parently weak on pass defense. Jan
drcau at left half looked very good
at both running and passing. After
Ashlnnd gets a couple of more games
under Ita belt It la going to be a
hard team to boat, say around Armis
tice Day.
The game as a whole was the
oleaneat and fastest I have seen this
year. Only two offside and one
holding penalty waa called. Oilman
looked good at right end, along with
Newbry at right tackle, for Ashland.
"Coyote wells." In American desert
parlance, means natural depressions
In the rock which catch and hold
rain water.

MAIN II TUSSLE
Big Hans (Hitler) Sehuls added
the name of Dave Levin to his victory-list
!ast night In the Medford
armory, but unlike the other matches
the German has won with eaae, he
waa forced to battle furiously in
ordsr to defeat the popular ex-heavy-welght
champion.
As a matter of cold fact, Levin
had all the better of the savage
milling, but the luck which has fol
lowed SchulB m Medford held good
and he managed to take two out of
three falls. The one fall Levin won,
by the way, was the first Schule hod
lost In four local starta.
The third and deciding tumble met
with the whole-hearted disapproval
of the clients, not to mention Levin.
Prom the spectators point of view
It appeared that Levin was far from
down. Davie had Schulz clamped
tightly with a leg-breaker and was
apparently pressing the German's
own shoulders to the canvas. Schulz
auddenly gave a lurch and rolled
Levin over, and before anybody knew
what waa going on Referee Earl
Toakley had counted Levin out. The
crowd stood and booed the decision
for five minutes, adding their din
to Levin's protests, but It did no
good.
Schulz opened up with his usual
brand of dirty stuff but In a few
minutes Levin turned on him and
handed out probably the worst beat
ing Schulz has ever taken. For
almost 16 minutes Dave chased the
Nazi bad man round and round the
ring, slugging him on the head and
body and slamming him to the mat.
Several times Scnuiz scurried for the
ropes. Levin evidently wore himself
out clubbing the Hun horror, for
when Schulz started fouling again
Levin went down from several ter
rific punches to the Jaw and was
pinned by a body press.
Levin evened the score with a com
bination leg-breaker and body -press,
six minutes later, setting up Schulz
for the fall with another spectacular
flurry of prize-fighting tactics. Aa
before, Schulz ran for the ropes and
did everything In his power to es
cape the Levin dynamite, but Dave
caught up with him and hammered
him to the floor.
Pete Bslcastro, returning after sev
eral months absence, showed his old
time fire In walloping Billy Venable
in two straight falls. Pete's first
tumble came In the second round
with a bouncing body scissors. Hts
second was produced In the fourth
heat by a pair of dropklcks straight
to the button and a surfboard.
Speedy Ln Ranee beat Joe Smollnski
In the opener, two falls to one, using
his payoff Canadian grapevine both
times. Joe took the first fall In the
second round with a body press, after
La Ranee had refused to accept the
match on Smollnski 'a repeated foul

ing. Fred Erlckson, member of the

ordered Referee Yoakley to award the
fall and match to La Ranee, but the
latter said be didn't "want any falls
like that."
Speedy came back In the third
round to pummel Smollnski Into sub
mission, and ended the match ln the
fifth with another violent attack.
It was announced that Smollnski
had been suspended by the boxing
and wrestling commission for 80 days,

Chamberlain's avowals that Britain
could not be threatened Into peace
and she would examine peace pro
posals in the light of Germany's past
record.
Labor and liberal leaders con
curred. Laborlte Clement Attlee said
"we must carefully examine every
kind of a proposal for peace, but
we must deal with realities, and It
la no good saying there Is peace
when there Is no peace.
"A mere reversion to the situation
of the last year or ao would not
bring the world back to peace."
Liberal Leader Sir Archibald Sin
clair said: "So long as Germany Is
governed by Hitler and the people
who surround him, we will con
stantly be confronted with a choice
between submission to his will and
the dread alternative of war.
"This country wants peace, but Is
not prepared to buy It at the price
of freedom and the moral values of
civilization."
Hitler's Word Valueless
Whlte-maned David Lloyd George,
speaking ln commons for the first
time since the war's atart. declared:
"If peace depends on the word of
Hitler we shall have no alternative
but to proceed until we get some
other and more assured guarantee."
Referring to the German "discus

of Herr Hitler," the world war pre
mier added:
"I do not think Signor Mussolini
has shown much hostility to this
country ln the last few days he
has on the whole shown a friendly
disposition.
Lloyd George continued "it Is
clear that somebody is going to sub

"I think It is important that we
should not oome to a too hurried
conclusion. It needs very careful
consideration.
"If there comes a document from
the Italian or Russian governments
It Is vital that we should regard
uiem as neutrals, we do not want
to, double our enemies."
