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

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

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

Shooters not having guns, or
failing to bring them to the shoot
will be supplied with guns by

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

was asked.

Local Riflewomen Challenge
Record Awarded Portlander
Two recent newspaper stories, one in the Portland Oregonlan
Monday and an A. 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.

various gatherings in the east,
none of which he has yet ac
cepted. 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.
