PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1939. yV!!li-l'S!J.L: an 41 "NX';; 1 Sport Graphs ; : ' Billy Hulen lays: Eureka Threatens Unbeaten Record Of Black Tornado It may not turn out to be such, a nobody eema to know exactly what aort of a ball club Jay wmara has created this season, but the coaches and players ol Medford high's Black Tornado are working on the assumption that the red and green clad Eureka, (Cal.) grid aggregation. here Friday night, will present the most difficult hurdle yet encountered by the lofty-scoring locals. This assumption Is based on three known factors: first, the reputation for toughness ' Eureka teams have built up over a long span of years; second the record the 1039 outfit has produced; and third, a fullback by the name of Bill Prentice. Medford hasn't beaten the Call fornlans since 1938, when Ray Lewis, Bob Olson, Bob Wilson and some of the boys turned the trick by a 19 to 0 count. In 1937, on the local field, Eureka broke out a fine run ning attAck featuring Don Durdan. now on the Oregon State varsity, and downed the Tigers 20 to 13. Last Rea son, at ' Eureka, the Bowermanltes were socked to the tune of 14 to 0. So It Is no secret to all concerned. In this neck of tho woods, that Eu reka Is bound to be mighty tough It ALWAYS Is. Bo far a Eurrka's 1939 record Is concerned, It uliows one victory and one defeat. Opening the sea son two weeks ago the Callfor nlnns trounced Madrra, 28 to 0, and after the game sports writers limbed to the extent of calling this year's team one of the greatest In Eureka annuls. Last Friday night the Jay UN lard eleven was defeated by St. Mary's hi eh of Hun Francisco, 7 to 0. Hut, this defeat came at the hands of a machine which hasn't hcen scored on In five straight games. Including tiffs with the most powerful outfits In the Itny re. glon. The third factor Fullback Bill Prentice Is probably the most Im portant In the lot. Bowerman. looal mentor, says that Prentice Is con sidered In California as the best full back In the state. He Is a big, fast hombre, a trlple-threoter who leads the Eureka ground attack and Is on the throwing end of practically all posses. He Is well-known to present Tigers who played last year, for It was Prentice who scored Eureka's first touchdown against the 1038 Tornado. The Timers will go against Eureka "In the dark." so for as any definite knowledge of the enemy attack Is concerned. Medford hasn't scouted Eureka this season. However, from play-by-plny pre-rs accounts of Eu reka's two pnmes, the IochI coaches have lrarnrd that Jay Wlllnrrt still has his team tossing that agat around and delivering plenty of ra7zle-dn7.2le behind sound, funda mental tactics. With the Klamath Falls gigantic looming a week from Friday night. It will be Interesting to note the outcome of the Peltean-Ashlond game this coming Friday eve. After that tilt is over, some cort of comparison of tho respective strength of Med ford and Klamnth Falls will be pos sible. Medford heat Grants Pais, 88 to 0, and MrnnM pns heat Ash In ih). 12 to 0. Thus, strictly on , papr, Klamnth IMIls will have to wit Hop Ashland hy no points to attiiln the same amount of power shown by the local.

The Klamath Fulls Red Sox beat McCloud, fl to 4, In 10 Innings Sun day, deadlocking the Northern Cali fornia league Shautjhnessy playoff finals at one game apiece and mak ing a third and deciding game neces sary. It will be played at Klamath Falls next Sunday. By winning and tlelng up the series, the Red Sox postponed for another week the game between Med ford's Craters, Southern Oregon league playoff champs, and the play off wlnn-rs in the N. O. L. if such a game Is to take place. An we have mentioned before, friends, these base ball clubs will still be playing when Tennessee and U. S. O. face off In the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Speaking of baseball, Paul Hoffard received a letter from Ray Brooks, head of the Oregon State league, stating that Medford had a good chance getting in the powerful State loop next season. If tt so desired. Brooks said that ho expected all State league towns to have lights In two years at the most, and that If Med ford Installed mazdas next season it would greatly enhance this town's chances of Joining the circuit, which we believe will go class D Inside of three years.

(AP) Look ing at things entirely from the in tersections angle, this Is likely to be about the biggest week of the 1030 football season and another one which will enhance the prestige of southern football. On a percentage basis southern teams are still below the .000 mark In their major encounters with north ern rivals, but In the matter of glory they're tops and apparently headed still higher. Duke over Colgate, Ala bama over Fordham, Louisiana State over Holy Cross, Mississippi State over Arkansas and Vanderbllt over Rice have been major southern tri umphs against other sections. Then there have been such equally amov ing affairs as the close scores of Qeorgla Tech anlnst Notre Dame and Furman, Centre and Virginia, which didn't figure to win at all, against Army and Navy. This week's program looks like much the same sort of stuff, al thouRh the east figures to get off to a head stort when Boston College, apparently powerful though still un tried, faces twice-beaten Florida on Thursday. North Carolina, with a wealth of fine backs. Including those "touch down twins," George Btlmwelss and Jim Lalanne. figures to have the best of New York university. Ford hsm doesn't appear strong enough to stop Tulane at New Orleans. So fsr. the Rams have ben a one-track tam without the line to make their power plays effective. Duke. Invading the north, should be able to tackle Pitt's Panthers at least on even terms. Firebug Claims Insanity PORTLAND, Oct. n p, Harrison M.
