Billy Hulen Says;
Development of
Capable Line I
Bowerman Worry
Bill Bowerman wasn't In
snarling mood when he dropped
into our cubby-hole yesterday,
but you could e he didn't feel
like towing his arms around
anvbody and kissing him.
He looked good, too; healthy
as heck, and he said he felt fine,
physically. But you could tell
something was eating him. And
it didn't take long to discover
what his bother was.
"Look. Hulen you tell me
how to make a line, will you?"
. So that was it. Bight here in
the middle of the summer Bill
was losing sleep over how he
was going to put together a for
ward wall to stand up against a
seven-game schedule he has
lined up for his Black Tornado
football machine way next fall.
But hold on minute. Where
do we get that "middle of the
summer" and "way next fall'
stuff? Holy Christopher, as the
baseball boys say, can It be pos
sible that football is only a
few weeks distant? Why we
thought.
"Look, Hulen. We've got
ball game against Weed Septem
ber 20. We're going to start
practicing NEXT Monday at
Lake of the Woods. And I want
you to tell me how to make
a line."
We drew a pencil line on a
piece of paper and Bill tore it up
and threw It In the wastcbacket.
That's no good, Hulen. I mean
a football line. Or else."
Thinking of those seven reg
ular linemen who were gradu
ated last spring.' and looking at
Bill's determined and jutting
Jaw, we trembled and answered
weakly, "Maybe you better
make your own line. Mr. Bow
erman. We were never very
good at making lines."
Bill gave us an accusing
glare and launched Into a dis
course on gridiron doings, the
central theme being the gener
al Inexperience and lack of heft
in his prospective forward
fence. ,
"The entire squad will
spend a week ai our Lake of
ihe Woods camp starting next
Monday." Bill explained, "and
' I am much Interested In hav
ing all members of Ihe roster
' at Ihe camp. School starts
' Sept. 9. so we'll have two
' weeks of drilling here before
' the Weed game, which should
' be extra tough. Remember
that last year we beat them.
' 2g to 19, In the last quarter.
' In fact. It was one of our
' hardest games and Ihey should
be Just as good this icaion."
Bill returned last week from
Monterey, Calif., where he at
tended the coaches and physic
al educators workshop sponsor
ed by the high school in that
city. It was the best coaching
school he ever attended, Bill
eaid, with John DaGrosa In
charge of football and Dean
Cromwell, famous U.S.C. men
tor, handling track. DnGrosa,
former coach of the Philadel
phia pro Eagles, is now teacher
of law at Georgetown univers
ity, and is rated one of the great
est football authorities in the
country.
"I got some fin.' Ideas regard
ing line play." Bill related. "Ha
Grosa broke down the funda
mentals of blocking and tack
ling to their barest rudiments,
and I hope what I learned will
do some good when It comes
time to develop a line."
As for track, Bowerman as
similated several valuable tips
concerning the weight events,
especially the shot put, he said.
All in all, he was high In his
praise of the courses, which
lasted a week and ran from 7
a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
Bill Is not so worried about
his backfield. He Is a great be
liever in the theory that a good
line is the basis of a good elev
en. and that a powerful forward
wall can make a backfield look
good. Quarterback Louie Thur
man, who currently weighs 205
pounds, is the lone returning
regular from last season's team,
and around him Bill hopes to
develop a fairto-mlddlin' mall
packing quartet. But that line
is something else again, and Bill
is plainly worried.
As for Ihe schedule, II Is not

MIDGET SPEEDER
DERBY AGAIN IN
BY
U-Year-Old Boy Victorious
for Third Year in Row
Bobby Reinharl Second
Iff becoming a habit with
Donald Smith, 14-year-old son
of Ralph Smith of 103 Jean
nette avenue.
Yesterday evening for the
third time In as many years,
chubby Donald sent his canary
yellow Tagalong spinning off
the ramp and down Queen Ann
avenue to win first p'ace In the
annual Mail Tribune-Boy Scout
midget speeder derby.
And today the rest of the
city's youthful midget speeder
builders and pilots are wishing
that Donald would hurry up and
grow past the age limit of IS
set for competitors In the year
ly classic. Donald has won every
one of the derbys. ,
Three times Donald's bright
little homemade vehicle hurtled
down the track, more than a
quarter-mile In length, and with
each succeeding spin It clipped
time off the preceeding run.
Tagalong Speedy
In the first heat in class A.
Tagalong negotiated the dis
tance in 34 seconds, with Nor
ton Smith second in 37 seconds.
In the class A semi-finals, be
tween winners of the first three
heats, Tagalong whirled down
the avenue In 33.4 seconds. Don
Randies of Ashland, winner of
the second heat, was second in
33.2 seconds, and Dick Harris
on, third-heat victor, was third
in 38.2 seconds.
Then, in the finals for the
derby championship, young Don
ald and his speeder blazed the
route In 33.2 seconds. Bobby
Reinhart, class B champion,
was second in 34 seconds, and
Don Randies was third In 34.6
seconds.
The second heat In class A
was captured by Don Randies
In 35 seconds, with Arlon Skin
ner second in 37.5 seconds. Dick
Harrison beat Billy Sims in the
third heat with a time of 36.4
seconds, to Sims' 30 seconds.
Bobby "B" Champ
There was only one heat In
the class B race, Bobby Rein
hart finishing ahead of Billy
Ballew. The winner's tlm was
34.8 seconds, the losers was 63
seconds.
Following the derby, nil the
young drivers enjoyed a delici
ous watermelon feed at Humph
rey's grocery store. And there
were prizes for almost everyone
as 35 Medford merchants do
nated articles for the youthful
pilots.

WIN NUMBER FIVE
' It appears that nobody Is go
ing to put a halt to Mike Naz
arian's blazing drive through
the ranks of grappler now do
ing their stuff in Medford.
The awful Armenian, meaner
and dirtier than ever before,
hung up his fifth straight vic
tory In the armory last night,
this time at the expense of Pete
Belcastro of Weed, Cal.. him
self no soft touch.
The brutal match lasted 14
minutes, and once more it was
Nazarian's potent wrist twist
that brought him victory. With
the falls standing one apiece,
Pete cut loose with a mighty
dropkick, missed, and fell heav
ily to the carpet on his back.
Nazarian immediately leaped
aboard the dazed Belcastro and
went to work on his wrist, and
a few seconds of that was
enough for the Mad Italian. He
gave up to present Nazarian
with number five in a row.
Mean Mike gained the Initial
tumble in seven minutes, and
of course it was that excruciat
ing wrist twist that turned the
trick. Enraged at Nazarian's
foul tactics, Belcastro came
back to even the bout three
minutes later by simply belting
Nazarian with a right uppercut,
stretching him flat, and pinning
him with a press. Pete worked
up to this climax with a beauti
ful step-over toe hold that drove
Nazarian through the ropes
time and again, whenever he
could break the hold long
enough to scurry for safety.
So far as dirt was concerned,
Belcastro was Just as unscien
tific as Nazarian. Both did
everything in the book, but for
one of the first times In the
armory Belcastro was the fans'
favorite. The clients hooted
Nazarian and cheered Belcastro.
probably figuring the latter was
the lesser of two evils.
Ernie Plluso grabbed a spark
ling win from Otis Clingman In
the center attraction by flipping
out of a Boston crab in the
fourth round, with the falls one
and one, and pinning Otis with
a press.
Ernie took the opening tum
ble in the first heat with a
Boston crab of his own, after
Cllngmnn scored heavily with a
vicious hainmerlock in the early
parts of the round. Clingman
used a shoulder press in the
third to make the match all
even.
Jack Hagen of Shreveport,
La., won his first match in three
starts by taking a stralght-fa'l
verdict over George Wagner In
the opening fracas. Hagen ao
plied a reverse headlock in the
third canto for the first fall, and
wound up with a body press in
the fourth after Wagner missed
a dropkick and landed flat on
his back.

U S G A Disqualifies Ferrier
For Book; Play Opens Today
By Hugh S. Fullerton, Jr.
New York, Aug. 27. tJP) The United States Golf associa
tion took all the international flavor and lot of the Interest
out of the 1940 national amateur championship by ruling out
Jim Ferrier yesterday, but there still are enough good golfers
left to make a whale of a tournament out of today's sectional
qualifying spree.
Counting out Ferrier and the
ten former champions who don't
have to play in the sectional
rounds, 747 players remain on
the list. After today's 36-hole
tests in 28 locations, only 140
of them will remain to go into
the championship tourney at
New York's Winged Foot club
Sept. 9-14. Obviously, they'll
have to play a lot of good golf
to win out against such odds.
The last-minute disqualifica
tion of Ferrier, amateur and op
en champion of Australia, was
I as bewildering as it was to Jim
himself. It was based upon the
, publication In Australia of a
i profusely illustrated book called
"Jim Ferrier s Golf Shots."
The U.S.G.A. contention Is
that it is a book of Instruction
and as Ferrier receives royal
ties from it, that make him in
eligible under the U.S.G.A. ama
teur rule. Ferrier argues the
book merely analyzes his own
unorthodox style without try
ing to tell other golfers how to
play.
With Ferrier out. the leading
candidates for the title seem to
be the 10 exempt players
Marvin (Bud) Ward, the 1939
winner; Willie Turnesa, Johnny
Goodman, Johnny Fischer, Jess
Sweetser, George T. Dunlap,
Francis Ouimct, Max Marston,
Jesse Guilford and Chick Evans.
"The U.S.G.A. has a right to
Its own opinion," Ferrier said
in Chicago, "but I think it is
mistaken. The book is not of
an instructional nature. I have
been doing this same sort of
thing for five years and more,
and no one challenged by ama
teur status before. The Austra
lian Golf union certified me as
an amateur in good standing
when I came to this country in
March.
"And the Royal and Ancient
Golf club of St. Andrews. Eng
land's governing body, has sane
tioned my Journalistic work.
What are they trying to do
to me? Have I been playing tod
well recently. I can't under.
stand their attitude."
The 25-year-old star only last
eek won "the amte.,r ehm.
week won the amateur cham
pionship of Chicago and he was
the low amateur in the St. Paul
Open, the Milwaukee open, and
the Chicago open, being only
two strokes behind the winner
