PACE SIX MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1940, Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Lack of Veteran Linemen Worries Caveman Mentor If Medford Grid Coach BUI Bowerman wants company In the crying room he can have It In the person of Mentor Loren Tuttle of Grants Pass. For It appears that both these, South ern Oregon conference football tutors are plagued by the same problem the rebuilding of forward wall almost totally de molished by graduation. Tuttle's task, on paper, looks slightly easier that Bowerman's, who it faced with the sad fact that all seven of his 1939 start ers are no longer among those oresent. Nevertheless, the Cav man coach's Job Is tough enough to make him eligible for any tear chamber. Of the 18 squadmen who were graduated at Grants Pass last spring, 10 of them were members of the first line or defense, Among them were Royal Mooers, all-conference end, and Leland Clark, first string wlngman; Bob Smith and Dick Espey, tackles; Les Anderson, Roy Davison and Roy Stout, guards, and Ed Young and Dan Stinebaugh, centers. Although It Is pretty black situation. Tuttle can see a alight say of hope In the fol lowing linemen who will be available! Doa Mover, who was a first string end for Med ford's Black Tornado last year and later transferred to Grants Pan) 200-pound Chub Clark and Russell Bigelow, guards Aggie Martin, flankman, and Duke Badley, tackle While the Caveman backfleld loss also Is considerable, with Halfbacka Jim Pierce, Don New man, Don Hill and Al Nelson, and Fullbacks Bud Pruess and Jim Mitchell the recipients of diplomas last spring. Coach Tut tle expects to send a fairly cap able quartet of offensive gents onto the field. Bill Davis, a two-year regular, will be the number one fullback, and many expect him to develop into the loop's best line smasher. Bernard Clayton will return for more halfbacklng and Curly Bor muth 1 slated for the quarter back berth. This trio has versa tility and may prove bad news for the opposition. Whether the Cavemen will develop enough strength to com pete on an equal basis with Klamath Falls and Medford, the conference's two large schools, remains to be seen. But It Is a cinch Tuttle will have an aggre gation capable of requiring no quarter from Ashland, fourth loop member, and from the non league elevens scheduled. Last season Grants Pass won five of eight contests, losing to Medford, 38 to 0; Klamath Falls, 12 to 7, and Dunsmulr, Cal., 20 to 12. The Cavemen have eight tilts slated for this year, with the opener coming on September 14 against Dunsmulr, away from home. Following thai game, the Climate City lads will face this string: North Bend at Grants Pais, September 20; Ashland at Grants Pais, Sep tember 27t Medford at Med ford, October j Marshfleld at Marshdeld, October 12i Klam ath Falls at Klamath Falls. October 25; Roseburg at Grants Pass, November S. and Ashland at Ashland, Novem ber 21. Open dates are Octo ber II and November 1, IS and 22. and two of them may be filled by opponents named later- Shortly we will take up the Klamath Falls and Ashland grid situations, where it is rumored that Arthur (Snowy) Gustafson and Lelghton Blake, respective ly, are also about ready to ap ply for admittance to the crying room. Might as well get all these coaches together and let them weep on each other's shoul ders. MONTANA STATE LOSES Bozeman, Mont., Sept. 5. (JP) Ten Montana State college football players will be called out with local units of the Mon tana national guard next Mon day. The guardsmen, representing about a fourth of the players Coach Schubert Dyche expected to have on hia squad this au tumn, Includes Joe Wllfox of Stevensvllle, Mont., triple-threat back of last year's freshman team. "We'll still have a fair team, but not the outstanding outfit we had anticipated," Dyche con 'Star -Less' All CARNEGIE PASSER'l PACES COLLEGIANS IN UPSET VICTORY Condit Scores 9 Points, 6 On 92-Yard Run Giants Tally In Fourth Period r Bid Fader New York, Sept. i. dP) From the surprise package the eastern allstars unloaded on the New York professional Giants' proud, unbeaten exhibition rec ord, the chief "hangover" left today was that press clippings mean as much in football per formance as the style pf player's haircut. For the eastern All-Stars pre sented a "star-less" squad of gridmen before a crowd of 39, 405 at the Polo Grounds last night and they wound up with an impressive 10 to 7 victory over the Giants, who never had been whipped before In eight tussels with all-star squads from coast to coast. First Lees Champions of the eastern di vision of the National league, the Giants were 1 to S favorites to take their fifth straight In this series with the Eastern All-Stars for the New York Herald Trib une's fresh air fund. Sparked by Merlyn Condit, a southpaw passer from Carnegie Tech who never came closer to an All-America team than seeing it in the movies, the Stars scored one touchdown in the second period, a field goal In the third and another six-pointer In the fourth to roll up their total. Condit produced nine points, six on a 92-yard run. The Glanta punched their touchdown over on a one-yard slice by Walt Nellson, one-time Arizona back, early in the fourth period after a OS-yard drive that was featured by the passing of little Eddie Miller, 103-pounder who came up from New Mexico State year ago.. ATHERTONPLACES Portland, Ore., Sept. S. IP) Edwin G. Atherton, the former FBI agent employed as athletic commissioner of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate conference, said yesterday if anti-recruiting rules were violated in the north west the names of the affected players would be made known. He recently forbade several Californlana to play at certain California universities, deciding that they had been recruited in a manner forbidden by the rules. The schools, he said, attempt ed to live up to the rules but "a few overzealous alumni" over stepped the bounds. Atherton is in the northwest to confer with gridiron officials preliminary to early games. ON STATE FAIR TRACK Salem, Sept.

TIGERS TEE OFF ON BOBBY FELLER TO CONFUSE RACE By Associated Press The Detroit Tigers, creaking with old age at nearly every Joint, have turned the Ameri can league pennant scramble In side out again. They crushed the Cleveland Indians, 7-2, yesterday with almost unbelievable ferocity while the Washington Senators pounced upon the New York Yankees, 8-5. Between the two upheavals the whole champion ship outlook was covered with confusion. Detroit made 11 hits, Includ ing three home runs, off Bob Feller in seven innings and had the youngster so befuddled he literally didn't know which way to turn.

Gehringer batted in four of Detroit's runs with a homer and a double, and Hank Grecnberg and Campbell also hit circuit drives. The victory lifted the Tigers back into second place, three games back of the tribe. The Yankees were victims of Lefty Joe Krakauskas, who hadn't won a game all season until yesterday. The Boston Red Sox hovered close to pennant contenders by sweeping two extra-inning games from the Philadelphia Athletics, 6-5 and 5-4. The St. Louis Browns contin ued to make trouble by whip ping the Chicago White Sox, 4-1. In the National league, the champion Cincinnati Reds cop ped their 33rd one-run victory with a 3-2, 12-inning verdict over the Pittsburgh Pirates in a night game.

Dial 4011 i mgm York Pro Giants, 16-7 AT It was at Plluso'i own request that the popular Klamath Falls grappler was rematched with Mean Mike Nazarian. the big, tough Armenian, for next Mon day night's main event in the armory. Promoter Mack Lillard said today. 'Piluso demanded another shot at Nazarian, and as Mike was willing to take him on again the match was arranged," Lil lard explained. "Piluso feels that Nazarian's victory a couple of weeks ago was something of fluke and is certain that he can whip the Armenian if they meet again- So they are going to and we'll see what we'll see." Nazarian has won five straight matches in the local armory and has yet to taste defeat. Lillard said he had several newcomers slated for early ap pearances here, the first of which is Whitey Wahlberg, a Minne apolis Swede and highly popu lar everywhere he shows. Wahl berg will meet Jack Hagen In the middle event on next Mon day's program. Steve Nenoff, who collides with George Wagner in the open ing event, will be remembered here as Tiger Taskoff, a vicious Bulgarian weighing about 200. Taskoff Is Nenoff 's middle name.

Tabbed Contender for Riggs Crown By B1U White. New York, Sept. 5. (IP) In casting around for someone who could dethrone Bobby Riggs from his national singles tennis throne, the experts recently voted Don McNeill of Oklahoma City and Frank Kovacs of Oakland the most likely to succeed. Now the select twosome Is a trio. Standing directly In the way of everyone with championship ambitions is a 19-year-old young ster with a "crew" haircut and a will to win Jack Kramer of Belvedere Gardens, Cal. Kramer's fine all-court game is not exactly new, but the con fidence he gained last week in winning the national doubles with Ted Schroeder is brand new- He already has swept aside Gil Hunt of Washington, D. C, who can, on a given day, be the best tennis player in the country; Eddie Alloo, another tough foeman, and Sidney B. Wood, former Wimbledon cham pion. The manner In which he play ed yesterday in stopping Wood had the experts digging up new adjectives. He faces a tough ttt today In big Hank Prusoff, the Seattle giant. While Kramer was busy Im pressing students of the game, Kovacs was entertaining the gallery. Refusing to take any thing seriously, the Oakland ace caused an exodus from the sta dium to a sideline court to watch his erratic play. Frank finally won, after be wildering E.
