J, PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAITy TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1939. Sport Graph; Billy Hulen says: Medford Trying To Slate Game With LaGrande If an undisputed mythical state championship football team is crowned in this year of 1939, for the first time in a dec ade or so, Medford high should be given a pat on the back for bringing it about. The Tiqors, through Principal Leonard May- field, are doing all in their pow er to boil the confused title sit uation down to a lone, unde feated aggregation. With Coquillo already slated to play here on Thanksgiving Day in a game which will elim lnate one of four clubs still ir the running, the Black Tornado is now going after LaGrande, still another undefeated team with championship aspirations. Mayfield' announced today that he was writing McLcugh tin high of Milton Freowator to request that school to can eel Its November 17 game with Medford so the Tigers can play LaGrande on that . date. In a telephone conver sation with LaGrande yester day, Mayfield was told that LaGrande would probably be Interested In a November 17 game with the Tigors if Mac high would cancel its game with Medford lo clear the way. In other words, and to put it bluntly, Medford Is attempting to meet all teams with a title claim; the Tigers are not only willing but actually trying to schedule games with every one of the three other Oregon prep outfits, who have been beating the drums for championship rec ognition. Whether Medford and La Grande can get together on Nov ember 17 won't be definitely nntwHisfimiHiiiit miiiit FOI 1(1 HM 0I0 IIIU HIT ii tit mum i! inn tl IK HOIIISfl III III!

S-f Tornado Challenges Milwaukie to known until Saturday. La Grande plays its final game then against Baker, and If LaGrande wins it will clinch the champion ship of Its conference and finish with an unbeaten record. If La Grande loses, though, the game with Medford will be off, as LaGrande would no longer be a title contender. If LaGrande beats Baker and Mac high agrees to cancel its November 17 date with the Tigers here, then LaGrande and Medford will undoubtedly get together on that date, Mayfield said. He added that the clash, if it comes off. will probably be staged in Medford, as Medford could offer a more attractive guarantee. Milwaukie, the fourth learn gunning for the mythical title, is all scheduled up until Dec, 2. when it will probably play the Portland champion In Multnomah stadium. How ever, if either Eugene or Sa lem, Milwaukie's two remain ing opponents, happen to up set the high-flying Maroons, that Portland date will be open, as the bid offered Mil waukie was contingent on the latter team going on through without a defeat. Probably the less said about the officiating in the Medford Eugene game last Friday night. the better. But gradually tho truth is becoming known as to just what the Tigers did to draw those five 15-yard penalties, and It is so funny it s ridiculuous. For instance, Don Mover. right end, came back to the Tor nado huddle and imDlored. Come on, gang, let's lick all 14 of them." He was overheard by the referee and the result was a 15-yard penalty for Med- ford. Unsportsmanlike conduct, they called it. But the best was when Bob Newland, left half, pointed a finger at the Eugene left and and hollered, "We're going to run this play right over you, brother." The result 15 yards for the Axemen. Our apologies to Al Barrow, Medford's big tackle, for not giv ing him credit for the marvelous block he laid on the Eugene safety man when Bill Plche got loose for his 45-yard touchdown scamper. That block made the touchdown possible and warmed the cockles of Bill Bowerman's heart, for it was Just the sort of block coaches dream about. Through the excitement induced Dy the run and block we thought it was Dale Howard who Knocked the Eugenean flat. I.

WIELD DENIES 10 PLAY MAROONS Declares Coquille Slated Only After Milwaukie Turned Down Bid to Meet Tigers Medford high school officials hotly denied a statement in an Oregon Journal United Press story this morning that "Mil waukie tried to arrange a game with Medford for Thanksgiving eve contingent on a shift in the date of its (Milwaukie's) league tilt with Salem but Medford vetoed the plan." Principal Leonard Mayfield stated it was Medford that at tempted to arrange a Thanksgiv ing Day or Dec. 2 game with Milwaukie and that Milwaukie turned down the offer because of its date with Salem on Thanksgiving and the hope of receiving the Portland bid for the following week-end. "The only contact Medford has had with Milwaukie was our effort to get a game with them", Mayfield said. "In other words, Milwaukie hasn't challenged us, we have challenged them. And, we are issuing another challenge to them now for a game on the night of December 1, providing that Milwaukie and Medford both continue undefeated." Mayfield explained that Med ford first tried to arrange a game with Milwaukie for Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, and that when the offer wus re jected the local school turned to Coquille's Red Devils for their Turkey Day contest. This Co-quille-Medford game is awaiting only completion of financial ar rangements to be definitely set. Milwaukie Accepts Bid According to a United Press message received by the Mail Tribune today, "Milwaukie has accepted a provisional invitation to play the Portland champions In a ' post-season game In Port land Dec. 2 for the mythical title." The game is contingent on Milwaukie remaining unbeat en in the Salem and Rttirpnn games. Otherwise, the message Biaiea, a wasnington or southern Oregon team will be irivited. Jefferson high Is the probable Portland winner, the dispatch said. Mdford, Longview and Everett were mentioned by Physical Education Director El don Jenne as possible opponents If Milwaukie Is defeated.
