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

Add the name of Don Moyer
to the list of 1939 Black Tor
nado football players who won't
be back next year . . . Don's
folks have moved to Grants Pass
and the left end will do his foot
balling for Loren Tuttle next
season . . . Stan Winter, the
other regular end on this year's
Medford aggregation, may be
back and he may not . . . Stan
can graduate this spring, or he
can remain in school and finish
in mid year next year ... 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 . . . Aches
on plans to negotiate with Butte
Falls for a game between the
Tigers and the Loggers some

be a good draw last year's

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.

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.

"MEDFORD'S ARROW SHIRT STORE"
OREGON, WEDNESDAY,
OFFICIALS TRYING
TO AVER! 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.

Seattle, Nov. 29. OF) Dean

$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.
Seattle, Nov. 29. (IP) With
an eye to an enlarged six-team
circuit for next year with north
ern and southern divisions, di
rectors of the Pacific Coast
Hockey league last night ap
proved a round-robin competi
tion with a circuit to be launch
ed in California next month.

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.
