PAGE TWO Sport Graphs Billy Hulen ayi: Year' Big Laugh Is All - Opponents Team Of Axemen This writer has enjoyed a plentiful of good, hearty laughs over one thing or another dur ing the grid season just ended but by far the bipgest (so big as to be practically a horse laugh) was induced by an in nocent little A. P. paragrapn from Eugene yesterday. This was it: "Schirmer of Til lamook and D. Jamison of Mil waukee, ends; Butcher of Mil waukie and Watson of Vancou ver, tackles; Gomulkiewicz of Vancouver and MacReynolds of Albany, guards; Burchfield of Vancouver, center; DeAutre mont of University high, quar terback; Boe of Milwaukie and Provo of Vancouver, halfbacks, and Bird of Albany, fullback." After reading the foregoing dispatch, which made public the all-opponents team of the Eu gene high football Axemen, we were afraid our sides would split. Not wishing to keep such a dainty morsel of hilarity all to ourselves, we called It to the attention of Conch Bill Bower man of Medford high, whose Black Tornado backfield men ran the pants off the Eugene laddies and whose linemen could have set up housekeeping in the Axemen backfield. j The humor of the situation was not wasted on Bill and he enjoyed several hearty chuckles, as did probably the whole town of Medford. So. It can be said that Eugene this year graciously provided lots of pleasure for we'uns down here in southern Oregon. The laughs were almost as good The Strike Is Over We have the largest stock oi 1940 Plymouths in Southern Oregon. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY on most models and colors Humphrey Motors 33 S. Riverside.

Don's folks have moved to Grants Pass and the left end will do his foot balling for Loren Tuttle next season . . .

If Winter does decide to end it all next June, only Louie Thurman, blocking quarterback, will be available next fall, of those who were regulars this season . incidentally, Thurman did a very excellent job of calling signals for the Tornado in the campaign just past . . . Salem high won't be too well off for veterans during the com ing basketball campaign, the state champions having only all state Scotty Sebum around which to develop another fine team . . . Rodney Stead, the half-pint speedster who played for Medford two years ago but didn't perform last season, is back in school and turning out for the casaba club ... he was one of the "flaming sopho mores," remember . . .

FOR SIX IN ROW : EL Seattle, Nov. 29. (IP) The University of Washington 33 man football squad rolled south ward today to challenge the powerful Southern California Trojans' bid for the Pacific Coast conference championship. At Los Angeles Saturday the Huskies will be trying to make it five straight for the season, after a disastrous four-loss start, and a sixth straight victory over U.S.C. Washington's hopes took a setback in Coach Jim Phelan's announcement that Halfback Dean McAdams. on whose pass ing arm the Husky hopes rest, had a leg Injury, bnt Phclan said he would be ready to start the game. Conceding they were under dogs by a big margin, the Hus kies pointed to last season's 7 to 6 victory over a U.S.C. team that was almost as heavily favored. BEAVERS PICK 6 Corvallls, Nov. 29. OP) Southern California impressed Oregon State griddcrs so strong ly this season that they selected six Trojans on their all-opponents' team yesterday. The team: Fisk, USC, and Smith, Idaho, ends; Stuart, Ore gon, and Caspar, USC. tackles; Smith and Sohn, both USC, guards; Mucha, Washington, center; Lansdcll, USC. quarter; Washington, UCLA, and Schind ler, USC, halfbacks; Standlee, Stanford, fullback.

ERSDNAL LOW INTEREST COST 12 MONTHLY PAYMENTS MEDFORD MAIL TIGERS DECLINE FOR CLASH HERE Bowerman Says Team Can't Get In Shape In Time; May Play Next Year. Portland, Nov. 29. UP) Football games to determine the state prep championship hung up yesterday on the same old reef the ninth semester rule. Jefferson high, unbeaten Port land champion, refused to play Milwaukie, unbeaten No-Name league champion, without its ninth semester players. Where upon Milwaukie invited Med ford, undefeated southern Ore gon champion, for a game here Fridav ni!ht. but Medford de clined, explaining that the team had disbanded and that two previous challenges to Milwau kie had been rejected. Jefferson and Milwaukie were to have played Friday. Portland schools are oerniit- ted to use ninth semester play ers students already one se mester nast the normal eight semesters required to complete a four-year course. upstate schools restrict eligibility to eight semesters. Hopes for a Medford -Milwaukie football game this week end to 'determine the mythical state championship were blast ed today when Coach Bill Bow erman of the Black Tornado in formed Coach Merritt McKeel of Milwaukie, by telephone, that Medford was forced to decline Milwaukie's offer to come to Medford next Saturday after noon. Bowerman told McKeel that the Medford team, which dis banded after the Coquille game last Thursday, couldn't reach the proper physical condition In time for a game Saturday. Milwaukie's offer to play in Medford Saturday came yester day afternoon, an hour after Medford had been invited to meet Milwaukie in Multnomah stadium Friday night. Medford declined that Invitation on the same grounds, that the team couldn't get back in condition on such short notice. However, after declining the invitation to meet Milwaukie in Portland, Medford contacted Milwaukie and made a counter proposition that Milwaukie come to Medford Saturday. Milwau kie, Bowerman stated, definitely said "no" to this plan, but a short time later telephoned back and agreed to play here Saturday. Boverman explained that all yesterday afternoon he kept this players in readiness to report for practice in case Milwaukie accepted the offer for a Satur day game in Medford, but when Milwaukie made its refusal in the first telephone conversation he sent the plavers home and checked in all equipment. Then, when Milwaukie chang ; ed its mind and decided to ac I cept the Saturday offer, the j Medford players had scattered and a practice session was out I of the question. Bowerman said. Therefore, the Tornado was forced to reject the Milwaukie offer. Bowerman said that during his telephone talks with Mc Keel tentative arrangements were made to bring Medford and Milwaukee together next season. LOAN TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.

RIOT AT New Orleans, La., Nov. 29. (IP) Tulane and Louisiana State university are trying so hard to keep their football game here Saturday from ending in a roughhouse that they are get ting downright mad about it. This year, student councils and officials of both schools agreed, they would preserve the dignity, teeth and goalposts which have become lost in me lees at some previous games. The student councils got to gether and decided to present the winning school a flag on the field after the game, the idea being spectators would be awed by the sprit of it all and stay put. President Paul Hebert of L. S.U. thought it would be nice to have his cadet corps parade on the field before the game with the Tulane naval reserve unit. President Rufus C. Harris of Tulane and several commit tees thought otherwise and de clined permission for the cadets to march. The L.S.U. student newspaper and student body raised indig nant howls, and Dr. Hebert said he wouldn't let the cadet corps go to the game, as it seemed Tulane didn't want them. His students scheduled a protest meeting. Last night Dr. Harris explain ed, in effect, that Tulane really wanted the L.S.U. students and cadets, but merely feared that if they paraded some ardent spectator might shout from his cups something to start the riot everybody was trying to avoid. There matters stand. The game, expected to draw a record southern football crowd of more than 50,000 if the weather Is good, is Tulane's last hurdle to a Sugar Bowl invitation. ARGUE OVER BALL Los Angeles, Nov. 29. IJPt Athletic officials of Washing ton State and U.C.L.A. are try ing to settle a controversy over the type of football to be used tomorrow night in the confer ence game between the two schools. Washington Slate, it was un derstood, wants to use a white ball, and the Bruins are holding out for the natural brown shade. The Cougars argue the white ball can be seen better at night, the Uclans contend the brown leather is easier to han dle because of the grain, and does not get so slippery from night dew. Decision In Month Seattle, Nov. 29. OF) Dean Wayne L. Morse of the Univer sity of Oregon law school, third member of the Pugct Sound ferry arbitration board, will hand down a final ruling in the controversy in about a month. & HIGHEST CONTESTANTS ANNUAL Contest (61) Winner or Topcoat) lil NOVEMBER 29, 1939. $15 A WEEK JOB mm. STAR Cleveland, Nov. 29. IP) Ken Keltner. Cleveland third baseman, today tried to forget his unsuccessful bid for jobless benefits, major league owners breathed easier and baseball's "bench jockeys" loaded up with 1940 ammunition. Keltner, who makes about $7,500 a year with the Indians, applied for state job insurance of $15 a week on the conten tion he is unemployed this win ter. In refusing, the Ohio un employment compensation bu reau explained Keltner was under a year's contract and so had not separated from his em ployment. If Keltner had been granted the approximate $240 in bene fits, subsequent claims might have forced club owners to revise their player contracts, dis tributing the pay over 12 months instead of concentrat ing it in the six-month season. "Bench jockeys" are expected to relish the incident as the foundation for "ribbing" the Tribe's infielder next year. At his Milwaukee home Kelt ner said: "I didn't know I had any compensation coming until about two weeks ago. As soon as I found out I wasn't en titled to any, I withdrew the claim. The whole thing was just a big joke." WRiGLEY SLATES Chicago, Nov. 29. (IP) Own er P. K. Wrigley of the Chicago Cubs has decided that one thing work will take the miseries out of Dizzy Dean's $185,000 pitching arm. Wrigley said he has convinced Ol' Diz' sore right flipper was healed and that he would be expected to start pitching him self into shape as soon as the Cubs land . on Catalina Island next March for spring training. The Cubs bought Dean from the St. Louis Cardinals, in April, 1938, for $185,000 and three players. He won seven and lost one in 1938 and last season won six and lost four. Bigger League Planned.

MAIN AND RIVERSIDE Barker Selects Army Over Navy, Bruins Over Cougars By Herb Barker New York, Nov. 29. (IP) Taking one last pot-shot at the fading football season: Thursday's games: . Kentucky Tennessee: Some " say the unbeaten Volunteers are due for a big surprise. If so, this guesser will be surprised at the same time. Tennessee. Texas-Texas A. and M.: All the rules of fiction-writing fra ternity would call for Texas to win this one, with Jack Crain running madly in all directions. The chances are that Crain will do plenty of running, but this hide-bound conservative will string along with undefeated Texas A. and M. U.C.L.A. Washington State: No reason to believe that Kenny Washington and U.C.L.A. can't get past this one. Vanderbilt-Alabama: Hard to figure since Alabama's offense has been nothing to write home about. Vanderbilt played great ball against Tennessee. The hat is the only solution . . . Alabama. Arizona-Montana: Taking Ari zona. Saturday's games: Army-Nevy: These two seldom have come up to their annual duel with worse records. Neither has won a major game. As far as this guesser is concerned, this is an absolute toss-up, so the coin spins and says . . . Army. Tulane-Louisiana State: Doubt that L.S.U. is equipped to stop the unbeaten green wave. Tulane. Southern California-Washington: Washington has improved rapidly, but appears to be in for a lacing here. Southern Califor nia. New York University-Ford- ham: Probably close. A faint nod toward Fordham. Dartmouth-Stanford: Stanford plays well in the east, but we'll take Dartmouth. Southern Methodist - Texas Christian: S.M.U. is the choice. Long-range guessing: Dec. 9, Southern California over U.C.L A.; Tennessee over Auburn; Southern Methodist over Rice. Fear Snow Blockade Bend, Nov. 29.
