h MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDfORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1939. PAGE ELEVEN Minnesota, Michigan and Northwestern Head Big 10 By Karl Hllllgan CHICAGO (AP) Minnesota. Michigan and Northwestern on paper appear ready to turn the 1939 Big Ten football show into a "Big Three" race. Many western conference football observers see It that way. But other onlookers think that a general im provement In many teams may make ' the fall battle one of the most wide open title scraps in recent years. At Minnesota, Coach Bernle Bier, man must replace Francis Twedell and Charley Schultz In the line, but several 1938 reserves are ready tor full time Jobs. Blerman again has Harold Van Every as his back field key man and is expected to round another powerhouse offense such as have characterized Gopher teams since 1933. - Michigan's Frits CrlBler has a hard time concealing enthusiasm over Wolverine prospects and for good . reason. He has a good line and a backtleld which may develop Into one of the best In the country. Forest Bvashevskl, quarterback, and Tom Harmon, halfback, made the Associ ated Press Big Ten all-star team as sophomores In 1938. This pair is ex pected to - work with Paul Kromer, ranked by many as Harmon's equal, and a- fourth back selected from a wealth of ball-toting material. You hear a lot about Northwest ern's Bill De Correvont, but this sophomore, and other first year men, will have plenty of trouble winning regular berths on a. Wildcat-team expected to be built around exper ienced performers. Coach Lynn Wal dorf likes seasoned players and has them. Twenty-two lettermen are scheduled to return, and Waldorf ap parently has the making of a strong well balanced team. Purdue, which finished JUBt ahead of Northwestern last fall with three victories, one tie and one defeat, is expeeted to be stronger. The Boiler makers will have their speedy "B" boys Jack Brown, Lou Brock and Mlks Byelene around which to build a fast attack. Forty-eight players reported to ! Coach Harry Stuhldreher at Wiscon sin, where the loss of such stars tus fullback Howie Weiss, halfback Roy Bellln and quarterback Vince Gavre will be felt strongly. Illinois Is ex 'pected to be stronger, but hardly rates as a title contender. . Indiana's coach, Bo McMillln, said recently that "we'll have a better team than last year" official warn ing that the Hoosiers will be tough. McMllltn will build his line around Capt. Bob Logan and Archie, Harris, and has several capable, experienced backfield men returning. Ohio State, which won three games, lost two and tied one last fall, U expected to come up with an impro vised team. Backs such as Jim Strausbaugh, Don Scott and Jim Sex ton will give the Buckeyes plenty of punch. The same, however, can't be said for Chicago, where lack of experienced material again will handicap Clarl Shaughnessy, One new Big Ten coach is making a conference debut. Dr. Eddie Ander son will try to put Iowa back on the conference football map and while the Hawkeyes are expected to be better than in 1938 they must make an uphill climb If they are to gain first division rating.

But she didn't, merely ac cepting in silence the reminder that no one may fly n plane - unless granted a permit by the federal gov ernment. However, Mrs. Anna Cleveland James, actress, writer and former flier, who years ago planned to leave the stage to devote her life to avia tion smilingly declared at the end of the flight that the experience "was marvelous, even for Just a pas senger, The flight was the first Mrs. James had made in 27 years. Recalling how in 1912 she set an endurance record for women fliers with a 37-minute flight, and a few days later estab lished a new mark of 40 minutes, she said: - "I'm going to try it again. Imag ine being able to shoot up almost vertically to gain altitude. - Why. when I learned to fly in those pre historic crates wd had to circle and circle to gain any altitude at all." Mrs. JameB remembered how she used a special strap to keep her skirts from billowing out when she was learning to fly In 1912. "Women In those days had not adopted the sensible flying suits that girls of today wear," she said. Mrs. James, a native of New Or leans, said her flying ardor was cooled by an accident at Boston. There She saw Harriet Qulmby, who brought one of the first monoplanes to this country, crash to her death. "I lOBt my Interest in flying then," she said, "and decided to remain on the stage. But with the progress of aviation, I have lost my fear." PHOENIX PASSES Urn miliar Bergen, a resident of Phoenix, Ore., for the past four years, passed away at the family residence at 9:30 p. m.
