Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen ayi: Orr May Develop Into Top Tornado Back of All Time Sacramento Trims Los Angeles 8-0 to Cop Playoff Honors TOM SEATS YIELDS At the risk of Incurring the dli pleasure of Wllllo J. Bowerman. who U horribly, and pernapa Justifiably, af eared that certain kinds of press publicity tends to enlarge the crani um of his Black Tornado grkiders, thus leading to a sudden dlslntegrs' tlon of team potency, we make bold to venture the opinion that one Ike Orr, a sophomore fullback on the current Tiger football club, will, before his prep career Is ended, make everybody forget all about ANY play er who EVER lugged the baggage for dear old Medford. This, my friends. Includes all the well-known Tornado Immortals, cliff (Racy) Moo res. Max Olllnsky, beo Oehlardl, Barney Senn, Benny Hsr- rail, Connie Conrad, Bob Ettlnger, Bob Olson, Al Melrln, Cliff Osrnett, Ray Lewis. The whole bunch. Good as they were, we believe that Orr bows promise of developing into the finest of the lot. What's more, we believe he will, barring unforseen injuries. And as for this latter pos sibility, Orr's sturdy construction and bis short neck, ss pointed out by Frank Relnhart, would seem to pre. elude to a great extent the danger of Ike being put out of football In the next two years, by hurts. Of course, Orr, right now, Is far from being the best bsck ever to wear Tornado trappings. At this tags of his grid education he per haps isn't even the best ball-toter on the present Medford team. We wouldn't know about that. What we do know Is that Orr, with almost three years of competition stretching out before him, has an excellent chance of becoming the peer of sny Tiger backfleld man who ever played. Orr possesses all the qualities necessary In a hell-for-leather, rip-snorting football player, a back to strike fear In the hearts of any and all opposition line men. He Is fast, hard-hitting, tough, shifty and smart, lie Is 185 pounds now, and In two years he should be 180 or 185, without loss of speed. He loves the game, which Is of consider able Importance, and his cnarh says he Is determined to learn, learn and learn. Ills getaway Is Just short of terrific. He explodes when he conies out . of that crouch, with the leather tucked under his arm. Naturally, In a player who haa taken part In only two games In bis life, Orr haa weaknesses. Not yet has he learned to catapult through his logical holes. He doesn't use his shoulders and his straUthtarm like he could, and will In time. Re la Inexperienced, as proved by that freak Corvallla touchdown last Fri day. Despite these fallings, his amazing natural grid prowess, coupled with the calibre of coaching he will re ceive from Bowerman and Backfleld Mentor Ed Klrtley, should carry htm to dlray helghte In the next two years. If he reaches the extreme peak, don't be surprised. ONLY THREE HITS P Borgmann's Boys Harves $5000 and President's Cup Angels Split $2500 Truck Hannah Released LOS ANOELE8, Oct. 4. (Pi Baora men to. the club which loat 10 games In a row at the Start of the Paclflo Coast league baseball season but closed fast to finish In fourth place, was richer by $5,000 and the presl dent'a cup today. ' Benny Borgmann's boys whipped Los Angeles last night In the sixth and deciding game of the final series1, 8 to 0, behind the three-hit pitching of Tom seats, who will do his chuck ing next year for the Detroit Tigers. The Angels, who finished third In the standings, whipped the pennant winning Seattle club In the first playoff series, but could take only two games from the Sacs. Sacramento treated Julio Bonettl, the league's leading pitcher, rather brashly and finally scuttled him In the seventh. The Sacs got 15,000 for winning the playoff, the Angels S2.500, and Seattls and San Francisco $1350 each. Sacramento eliminated San Francisco In five games. Immediately after Los Angeles' de feat, Manager James (Truck) Han nah, who had been with the Angels is yesrs, received official notifica tion of his unconditional release, President Dave Fleming said It was the polloy of the club to make changes "now and than." He said Hannah was a "good baseball man At Sacramento, Phil Bartelme. president of the Sacramento club, announced that Bennle Borgmann would be retained as playing manager In 1040.

Eureka, oal., high opened lta 1030 season last Friday night with a 35 to 0 victory over Madera, and accord ing to reports from the coast town Jay Wlllard has manufactured him self quite a football aggregation. Eureka, remember, cornea to Medford a week from next Friday evening. Hern Is what "Scoop" Ileal. sports editor of the Humboldt Times-Standard, says about the Eureka elub: "The Eureka high eleven showed unexpected power last night (against Madera) and those who have watched red and green teams in action for many years were of the unanimous opinion that Coach Jay Wlllard's 1030 team will be the GREATEST In the history of the school." We didn't realise Just how elose Klamath Falla came to suffering defeat at the hands of The Dalles last Friday night until taking a look at a newspaper from the latter town. Klamath Falla got a 7 to 7 tie In the last two minutes of play, after The Dalles had led, 7 to 0, from the opening quarter: It was Bobby Anacker who tied things up for the Pelicans. He caught a pass from Mel Ramos and scored the Pelican touchdown, then booted across the extra point. The touchdown play gained 34 yards. The future history of University of Oregon football will date from 1330 "You remember, Al, the year We tied D. 8.
