PAGT. STX MEDFOTJD MATT, TRTBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGONT. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1939. Sport Graphs Bill; Hulen says: Oregon' Major Prep Teams Face Tough Week-End Oregon's prep football Rianls, those few remaining undefeated and untied aggregations who still are able to cast longing eyes toward the mythical state championship after hard early icason campaigning, face stiff competition this week-end. So stiff that one or more may drop out of the running, knocked olf by capable clubs whose records are already besmirched by a tie or a defeat but whose potency is none the less undiminished. The spotlight of interest lo cally, of course, will be centered on Klamath Falls, where Mod ford's Black Tornado risks its undefeated and untied record against the thrice-tied but un beaten Pelicans Friday night. That Klamath Falls will provide the Tigers with their toughest game to date is an accepted fact, and nobody in this section is conceding a Medford victory without a terrific battle. Another fine undefeated and untied slate goes on the block when Bend high's pow erful Lava Bears, who clash with Medford here a week from tomorrow night, travel to Albany to take on Tommy Swanson's surprising Pirates. Bend has copped five straight games and is gunning for the stale title, but the Lava Bears will have their hands full In Albany, defeater of Salom last week by a 26 to 0 score. Mil waul; ie, considered the atrnngest team in the northern end of the state, outside Port land, goes against an Oregon City outfit figured to have a fair chance of emerging on the long end of the score. Milwaukie has won four straight and hasn't been scored on. Eugene's A x m e n, another Medford opponent later in the season, takes on Corvallis in a game which will provide a defi nite basis of comparison between the Axmcn and Tigers. Medford beat Corvallis, 31 to 14, three weeks ago. Eugene is unbeaten In three starts against Oregon competition, but dropped a 19 to 0 tilt to Dutch Shields' Van couver, Wash., preppers last week. In the southern coast sector Coquillo, unbeaten and unscorcd on, tackles Myrtle Point. A game that will eliminate one of the state's ranking teams will take place at Pendleton between that team and LnGrandu. Nei ther club has tasted defeat or tie, Pendleton having won three straight and LaGramle five in a Softball has grown to such nrnnnrtinns in Oregon during the last few years that the state I "oosevelt eked out a 13 to 7 win Softball association has called Blovcr Washington high yesterday conference of its executive com mittee and district commission ers to discuss matters of import ance to the game.

He is scheduled to address the meet ing on "lnter-city Competition," being one of more than a dozen men who will air their views on subjects relating to the game.

Then he'll retire to a life of beating out rhythm in verse, in stead of on somebody's ribs. He wants to write, both poetry and prose. A bard rather than a bombardier. A mitt-slinger turn ed minnesinger. "I figure in one more year I'll have enough money to bring me security. Yeah, social security," he grinned. "Then I'm going to quit. 1 haven't had much time for writing, what with all this fighting. But after 1 retire I'll have plenty of time for it." E' A rare treat is in store for local horseshoe players and fans when Ira Allen, one of the finest tossers in the country, appears in an exhibition Saturday after noon at 2:30 at the Medford horseshoe club's grounds on North Bartlett street. For the last three years Allen lias won the annual open Coast tournament in Santa Cruz, Cal. Last year he copped the Golden Gate open in San Francisco, averaging 76.4 percent, and he also won the Northern Califor nia tournament in San Fran eiseo last year, averaging 75.8. Allen will engage in exhibi tion matches with local stars and demonstrate his uncanny ability to pitch ringers. Corvallis. Oct. 19. (AP) f Coach Lon Stiuer of Oregon j State College said today it was! still doubtful whether Ray Van- diver, recular left end who has been nursing a knee injury, would lie able to start Saturday at Seattle against the University of Washington football team.

M. Friday Medford's high-powered Black Tornado grid machine, winners of four straight games this season, heads for Klamath Falls tomorrow to face the unbeaten but thrice-tied Pelicans in a game which probably will de termine the 1939 Southern Ore gon conference championship, won the past two years by Med ford. The game starts at 8 p. m. on Modoc field. Coach Bill Bowerman of the Tigers said today that all play ers were in fine physical and mental condition for the an nual southern Oregon "civil war." A few of the boys have minor bruises and aches from the tough Eureka game but all are ready to see action. No startling changes will be made in the Tiger lineup from that which opened against Eu reka, the coach said. Billy Piche. right halfback, will be back in his regular position after sit ting out one game because of an injured leg. At fullback will be cither Ike Orr, sophomore, or John Saulsberry, battering ram senior. Remainder of the backfield will be Bob Newland at left half and Louie Thurman at quarter. In the line Don Moyer and Stan Winter will be at the ends, Bill Clute and Al Barrow at the tackles, Dale Howard and Alden Hibbert at the guards and lterry Thurman at center. Tigers Leave At Noon The Medford squad, with its coaches, will leave Medford at noon tomorrow in a school bus. The team will not take a work out on the Modoc field turf before the game, Bowerman said. Several hundred local fans are expected to follow the team later in the day. Snowy Gustafson's Pelicans, fresh from their 39 to 0 victory over Ashland last Friday, are reported to be in excellent shape for the Medford invasion. The Klamathics will line up with Walt Saulsberry at quar terback, Bobby Anacker at left half, Ramos at right half, Rush at full, Webber and Love at ends, Barnctt and Heitman at tackles, Wilson and Slaymaker at guards and Coffman, 230 pound giant, at center. Mayfield Only Ineligible Quashing reports here that two other Klamath players, be sides Lee Mayfield, had been declared ineligible, was an As sociated Press message received late yesterday from Klamath Falls that stated: "Principal Lloyd Emery of high school says no protest filed but error in registration of Mayfield age called to attention by secretary I've "CATERPILLAR' OWNER FOR 8 YEARS AND I DON'T INTEND TO CHANGE "As far at I am concerned, 'Caterpillar' Irack-lype Tractors art the leading crawler tractors in all respects.

HUBBARD - 29 North Riverside of state athletic board. Recheck made and boy dropped from team before playing in any as sociation games. He said no other players questioned." Mayfield, all-Southern Ore gon conference tackle last year, was apparently over-age. The Medford team has been taking things easy this week and with the exception of a 10-minutc scrimmage session Tuesday no serious body con tact work has been held. The club has spent most of its time polishing up plays and doing passing and punting work.

(AP) A government white paper hinted today the marriage of Ger many's then war minister, Mar shal Werner von Blomberg, to his stenographer on Jan. 12, 1938, started a chain of events which precipitated the present war. Sir Nevile Henderson, in an other account of his ambassador ship in Berlin, told the British foreign secretary, Lord Halifax: "In my report on the events 0'of 1938' 1 drew your lordshiP's dllt'iiiUM lu me iai -i uatiiiiig anu unfortunate results of the Blom berg marriage. Brought Disaster. "I am more than ever con vinced of the major disaster which that in itself minor in cident involved, owing to the consequent elimination from Herr Hitler's entourage of the more moderate of his advisers, such as Field Marshal von Blom berg himself, Baron von Neur ath, Generals Fritsch, Beck and others." (Von Blombcrg's marriage to the blonde Erika Gruhn, a car penter's daughter, was witnessed by both Hitler and the No. 2 Nazi, Col. -Gen. Chermann Wil hclm Goering. (Colonel-General Werner Von Fritsch, then commander-in-chief of the Reichstag, was said to have acted as the spokesman for the officer's corps, in pro testing to Hitler the marriage was socially "impossible." (The result was that Hitler as sumed personal command of the armed forces and ousted von Blomberg, von Fritsch and 13 other high-ranking officers, in j general shaKcup ol uic socially- conscious corps, (Von Fritsch, who remained in the army without a command, was killed Sept. 23 in the siefie of Warsaw a siege which Sir Nevile now intimates might never have occurred had it not been for the von Blomberg af fair in which von Fritsch took so prominent a part. (Gen. Ludwick Beck resigned last October because he refused to see eye to eye with Hitler, YES, WE CAN MAKE PROMPT DELIVERIES NOW DRY PINE SLABWOOD $6.00 DRY FACTORY BLOCKS. . . .$5.50 BUNDLED KINDLING $5.00 Delivered in city limits Or fill your car or trailer tit our fuel yard on the corner of North Central Ave. and McAndrews Road. TimberP rod Phone 7 Tonight it was reported, on the Austrian and Czechoslovak occupations. (Baron Konstantin Von Neu rath lost control of the Ger man foreign policy at the time of the general arm reorganiza tion, and eventually was rele gated to the position of "pro tector" of Bohemia and Moravia in former Czecho-Slovakia). Sir Nevilc's report to Lord Halfix added that after the Von Blomberg denouement of Fell- ruary, last year, "Herr Hitler ! became more and more shut off from external influences and a law unto himself." Hitler's Decision Hitler decided upon war with out consulting any advisers, Sir Nevile said, observing, "the tra gedy of any dictator is that as he goes on, his entourage stead ily and inexorably deteriorates. For lack of "freedom of utter ance, he loses the services of the best men. "All opposition becomes in tolerable to him. All those there fore bold enough to express opinions contrary to his views are shed one by one, and he is in tlie end surrounded by mere yes men whose flattery and counsels alone are endurable to him." He commented that, "Herr Hitler and national socialism are the products ol the defeat of a great nation in war and its reaction against the confus ion and distress which followed. . . . It would be idle to deny the great achievements of the man who restored to the German nation its self-respect and its disciplined orderliness. "The tyrannical methods which were employed within Germany itself to obtain this result were detestable but were Germany's own concern." Pear Markets Yesterday Chii-50, Oct. 19.
