Sport Graphs Billy Huleu Bays: Medford "Would Consider" Bid From Portland Now that LaGrandehas backed down on its original acceptance of Bedford's offer to meet the Black Tornado here Friday night and refused to play for less than a $850 guarantee, is there anything left for the local team except for its Thanks giving Day clash with Cociuille? There isn't, of course, if Spike Leslie's unscored-upon Red Dev ils happen to whack the Tigers. If such happens, Medford's 1939 grid season will be all buttoned up and laid away in history. But, if Medford beats Coquille what then? This isn't official' by any means, but we can say that if Medford tops Coquille and Mil waukie loses to either Eugene or Saiem, thus voiding its con tract with the Portland inter scholastic champs for a Decem ber 2 tilt in Multnomah stadium, the Black Tornado may play one mort game this season. The situation is simply this: Milwaukie has been invited to play in Portland on December 2, against the metropolitan cham pions, providing Milwaukie re mains undefeated. But, if Eu gene next Friday or Salem the week following should wallop Milwaukie, that would leave the Portland champions without an opponent for December 2. Furthermore, if this happens, the Portland winner will be casting around for a team to bring in, and the logical selec tion will be the victor of the Medford - Coquille clash here Thanksgiving Day. Thus, if Med ford gets over Coquille and Mil waukie is dumped in one of its next two games, Medford may be Invited to play in Portland. We asked Principal Leonard Mayfield If Medford would ac cept a Portland bid If it were forthcoming, and here is his answer: "I really can't 'say. The mat ter would have io be talked over with Bowerman and the other coaches, and the play ers. If they wanted the game, wanted to play the Portland champs, the probabilities are that we would accept. All I can say right now Is that we would be interested in the of fer, and give it serious consideration." If Milwaukie hurdles Eugene Bnd Salem and goes to Multn-O' mah stadium, Medford's season will almost positively be com pleted with the Coquille game. Medford offered LaGrande a S630 guarantee for a December 2 game here, but the eastern Oiegon school, according to a press dispatch late yesterday, re jected the offer because they "couldn't keep the football team waiting that long." So, it all boils down to the poi.-ibilily of Milwaukie getting thumped by Eugene or Salem, whether the Black Tornado con tinues grid activity after Thanks giving. If Eugene or Salem comes through and Portland in vites Medford. when and if the Tigers beat Coquille, the foot ball season may be extended an other week. But if Milwaukie retains its unbeaten status the Tigers will undoubtedly put away their moleskins following the Red Devil tilt. That was a great 80-yard touchdown run of Cato Wray's against Ashland, and he had exceptional blocking but what was Ike Orr doing lead ing the ball-carrier across the goal line, when all the enemy tacklers were BEHIND the leather-lugger? . . . Ernie Pilu so, the super mat flash from Portland, is a brother-in-law of Arba Ager, coach of Jack . sonvilla grade schools last year and currently attempting to make the University of Ore gon basketball squad. AL HOSTAK SIGNS TO FIGHT SEELIC DEC. 11 Seattle, Nov. 15. (?)

TURKEY SHOOT AT The Medford gun club will hold its first winter turkey shoot at the club grounds Sunday morning at 10:30. Turkeys, hams and bacon will furnish the prizes. As this will provide an opportunity for the scattergun ners to win their Thanksgiving turkey, a large crowd is being prepared for. The shooters will be divided into classes in order that the in experienced shooters will con test only against shooters of their own ability, thus equalizing the chances for all to win prizes. Lunch will be served on the grounds and the gun club man agement extends a cordial wel- come io me puouc io join in me sport or to watch the shooting. Shooters not having guns, or failing to bring them to the shoot will be supplied with guns by the gun club. Third to Advance In r I $ Ft v vH.S G. MAY CANCEL TILT Grants Pass, Nov. 15. (JP) A suggestion by Roseburg school ofifcials that a football game here Friday might be cancelled be cause of a Josephine counly epi demic of influenza and colds was considered today. Principal Henry Tetz and Coach Loren Tuttle of Grants Pass said they would like to play but would respect Roseburg's wishes. A final Roseburg decision today was asked. Two hundred were absent from high school today, 60 more than yesterday, but some of the nine absent football players had returned. Yesterday's unofficial check-up showed 64 absent from local elementary schools and Kerby Union high and elemen tary schools closed for the week DRILL ON All? DEFENSE Corvallis, fJov. 15. fP) Ore gon State gridders studied their lessons in pass defense again yesterday, lessons Coach Lon Stiner said they have worked on rather steadily this season but haven't learned. Stiner said the Orangemen were better against Oregon passes last Saturday than against U.S.C.'s the previous week, but that "we were bad enough that California is sure to throw a lot of them against us next Saturday." The badly crippled Beaver squad scrimmaged briefly yesterday. BEARS NEAR ALL-TIME GRID DEFEAT RECORD Berkeley, Cnl., Nov. 15.

P. yarn in The Mail Tribune the same day, have members of the Medford Rifle club amazed, bewildered and even a little bit tiffed. And app arently they can't be blamed. The Oregonian story, a front pane spread, stated that Mrs Zola Plogg of Portland Rifle club holds the "national wo man's marksmanship record for the small bore rifle," setting the new mark on the Clackamas range last May. The story goes on to say that "the former record holder was also an Oregon wo man, Mrs. Amelia Tuttle of Med ford." The A. P. story was sub stantially the same. Yesterday. Mrs. Tuttle and Mrs. Ivan Waddell, both mem bers of the local rifle club, did some straightening out of the Oregonian yarn. In the first place, the two Medford women explained, Mrs. Tuttle shoots in a different classification from Mrs. Plogg. At Clackamas last May, Mrs. Plogg posted a score of 195 out of 200 at 50 yards, while Mrs. Tuttle holds the na tional record at 100 yards, which she set in a registered match in Medford in 1928 when she broke 399 out of 400. In other words. the two local women pointed out. Mrs. Tuttle doesn't even shoot at 50 yards. In the second place, Mrs. Wad dell and Mrs. Tuttle stated, the National Rifle association had evidently made a mistake In awarding a championship certifi cate to Mrs. Plogg for her per formance at Clackamas. Instead, the two women said, the certifi cate should have been awarded to Mrs. Waddell. They explained that, while Mrs. Plogg scored 195 out of 200 in the marksman class, Mrs. Waddell posted a 198 out of 200 in the expert class, which actu ally brought her the national championship. It all sums up, the Medford women stated, to the fact that Mrs. Plogg didn't replace Mrs. Tuttle as national record-holder at 50 yards, because Mrs. Tuttle never held that mark, and that Mrs. Plogg wasn't officially the record-holder at that distance, anyway, because Mrs. Waddell was. ' In Porcupine Coville, Wash. (U.R) W. E. Somers now knows that where there's a quill there's a por cupine. Somers went deer hunt ing. He parked his truck in a deserted farm yard, then hid the keys in what appeared to be a box full of dead grass. The "dead grass" was a live porcu pine. Somers' companions had to use pliers to extract a dozen deeply-embedded quills from his hand. from Pall City, Wash., where they were called by the death of Mr. Baxter's brother. They were accom panied home by Mrs. Baxter's mother. Mra. Morgan, who will visit here for sometime. Walter Kyle of Orants Pass spent the week end with relatives here.

Incidentally, the "old guard" Republicans have spon sored nono of these invitations as they are already under pledges to Dewey. Taft and Van denberg. Oregon's McNary has the chance of a dark horse in the convention. If there is an im passe, a stalemate, among the aggressive contenders, McNary might be the compromise. It was a stalemate in 1920 that gave the nomination to Harding. In brief, whit happens to McNary in the convention de pends on the "breaks," and what the breaks will be no one can forecast until the third day of the convention. The convention, by the way, will probably be held in Chicago two weeks after the Democratic convention. The latter, if Senator Joe Ouffey has his way, will be in Philadelphia for Pennsylvania is now re garded as a doubtful state and likely to slip back into the Re publican column. ... WITH the McNary movement start, ed In Oregon, none of the present aspirants (Bridges. Dewey. Taft, Vandenberg) will seek the dele gatlon from that state, for to win the delegates they would have to enter themselves on the ballot In the presidential preferential primary. Washington state elects delegates by party conventions. t BECAUSE of the campaign the proposed tax program is being shelved. The administration doea not want to increase tales In a year when Democratic congressmen and a presl. dent are before the voters. For the same reason the administration doos not wish to disturb the farm bill or lose the labor vote by permitting amendments to the Wagner act or the wage-hour law. Theme aong for the regular session will be national defense. There unit much opposition to that from any one, even pacifists. It la about the only subject that can be dealt with by congress without offending some group or other. There are plenty of matters congress could take up, strictly domestic problems, but the administration prefers all these go ing over until the new congress in 1941. ... rvIES committee Investigating un American activities, has not abandoned Its intention of holding hearings on the west coast.
