Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 18. 1939. Sport Graphs t Billy Hulen says: Webfoots Still Face Terrific Grid Schedule , It was the general opinion of football philbcrts, before the season opened, that if Tex Oli ver's Oregon Webfoots could manage to come through their lirst three games unscathed the worst of their suicide schedule would be completed and the Eu gene boys might even get a scent of Pasadena roses. Of course, there wasn't one grid fan in a thousand who gave the Oregons more than a fight ing chance to go through the first three weeks undefeated. Although such a performance admittedly was possible, it was deemed highly improbable. j ' Now that the amazing has been done, with the Webfoots perched at the head of the Pa cific Coast conference standings with two wins, a tic and no set backs, the boys and girls are wondering, if after all, Oregon Is really over the hill, or if the remainder of the schedule may prove about as tough as the Initial trio of struggles. As Fred Hampson of the A.P. remarked, "The miracle has been managed, but the weary Ore gons still can't afford to relax." Those words appear to be so truthful they hurt. Gonzaga is next on the Duck slate, at Eugene Saturday afternoon, and what was fig ured pre - seasonally as a brealhor after the U. S. C, Stanford and California fra cases may develop into' a ma jor encounter. Gonzaga wasn't rated too highly early this fall, especially after being topped by Washington State and Si. Mary's. But the Zags came back to whip Texas Tech and stun Idaho, the latter by a 19 to 0 count last week, and all of a sudden the realization has struck that Mr. Puggy Hunton has himself a foot ball team up there In Spo kane. Following the Gonzaga game the Webfoots travel to Los An geles to tackle U. C. L. A. on October 28, and everybody knows this will be a whale of a battle. Oregon never has done too well against the Bruins, who eem above average this year. After the Los Angeles Jaunt comes Washington State at Eu gene. Until last Saturday the Cougars were considered the conference weak sisters, but that 6 to 0 upset of Washington killed off any assumptions the Palouse boys would be easy stuff. Nope, they'll be plenty tough from now on out and Ore gon won't be able to let down for a single moment. Oregon State follows W. S. C. on the Webfoot slate, and there is no need to point out that the Beavers will be dynamite. After the Oregon State game comes Oregon's only open date of the season, on November 18, and the week following they travel to Seattle to engage Washington. Regardless of what Washington does throughout the season It is always at peuk for Oregon. So it really looks like Oliver's crew has only just begun to play football. Those first three tilts were hard ones, make no mistake, but the four conference and one non-league affairs torn-' r '1 H 1 1 S 4 1 H P V h 1 M 1 y 1 REGON:J UIYITEII STATES NATIONAL RANK of Portland Lee Mayfield, Klamath Falls Tackle, Dropped From Team ACTION DEVELOPS No Reason Given Why Star Is Dropped No Others Affected, Says Principal Leland Mayfield, 216-pound tackle for the Klamath Falls high school football team, has been dropped from the squad two days before the crucial Klamath-Medford game in Klam ath Falls Friday night, it was learned by The Mail Tribune this afternoon. An Associated Press message from Klamath Falls, in answer to a query from here, reported that "Leland Mayfield dropped from team, but no other players ineligible, according to Principal Lloyd Emery." Emery is princi pal of Klamath Fulls high school. Reported Hera The disclosure of the dropping of Mayfield from the Pelican team followed apparently untrue reports circulated freely in Med ford that Mayfield, along with two other Pelican players, had been declared ineligible. The re ports, or rumors, were to the ef fect that the players were over age. Mcdford high school officials today admitted they had heard the rumors, but could shed no light on their inception. Prin cipal Leonard Mayfield of Med- ford high said he had heard that three Klamath players were in eligible, but that he didn't know who they were, who started the report nor why they were in eligible, if they were. Coach Bill Bowcrman of the Black Tornado said he had heard the same re ports, but that he didn't know where they started. Star Last Year Mayfield was one of the stal warts of the Klamath team last year, being chosen for the left tackle position on the All-Southern Oregon conference first team. He was a regular this sea son until the Ashland-Klamath game last Friday night, when he failed to start the battle. Whether Mayfield was drop ped from the team because of over-age, scholastic difficulties or poor condition is not known here. Ing up look just as mean. If, by any remote chance, Oregon goes to the Hose Bowl this season they and everybody will know the honor was earned. A letter received from George M. Smith, secretary of the Tule-lake-Butte Valley Sportsmen's association in northern Cali fornia, indicates that hunters of geese and ducks will be favored with excellent sport this fall. Smith writes! "There are thousands of honkors her the year around and the other gees ara coming in by the thousands daily. From all In dications we will hava as good shooting here this fall as we had last year, which all agreed was the best ever. The Specs and snow goes are arriving in incroasing numbers dally. The duck flight, according to information I got from the biological survey headquar ters, is far ahead of last year."

Brazil, It was understood, will leave the gold on deposit in the New York Federal Reserve bank and use it as collateral for tem porary borrowings. Last week, President Roose velt told reporters negotiations were near completion with two or three Latin American coun tries on the use of gold treasury to improve trade.
