MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1941 PAGE FOUR Sport Graphs o Billy liulen Says: Webfoots Rated .' Grid Toga Threat . By Sportcatter Take the word of Doug Mon tell, the Associated Oil com pany' nice volced sportcaster, Tex Oliver's University of Ore con Webfoots will be right up there battling for the Pacific Coast conference football cham pionship this autumn. Montell. who has been making a survey of the grid prospects of Oregon and Washington schools the past two weeks, not only believes the Ducks will be in the first division, but claims they actually have a fair chance to caDture the crown, "If they can get over that Stanford opener September 27 at Palo Alto, Montell premciea "they will go into the Washing ton game at Seattle November 22 for what I believe will be the title contest." The ace sports announcer who spoke at the Lions club meeting Wednesday night and at the 20-30 club Tuesday eve, didn't predict the Webfoots WOULD knock over the T-for mation Indians, defending champs, but he did say such anjiness for the year's climax tour- occurrence was entirely wimin the realm of possibility. "Sure, Stanford will bo ter rific again this season, prob ably even more so than last year, for they lots only Stand lee and Gallarneau from the backfield and one lineman, but that Oregon eleven looks awfully good to me and I give them more than a fighting chance to pull the big upset," Montell stated. "Stanford might Just possibly be over-confident," he hazarded, "and if Oliver sends his club out there to take chances and gamble all the way they can win, In my opinion." Talking to Oliver, Montell learned that the Ducks would probably open against the In dians with 10 lettermen and only one soph In the starting lineup. Tex wasn't bit cagy when 1 asked him for a tentative start ing club." Montell explained. "He said 'sure,' and gave it to me like this: "Hyman Harris and Bill Reg ner, ends; Ed Moshofsky and Dick Ashcom, tackles; Ray Se ga le and Val Culwell, guards; Elliott Wilson, center: Chris Iverson, quarterback; Frank Boyd, left half; Curt Mecham, right half and Bill Dunlap, the aoph, at fullback. Jimmy New quist, the 1S40 frosh sensation, is also due to see plenty of serv ice at fullback. Tex told me." Montell rated Oregon and Washington the best of the northern teams. The Huskies, he said, looked great on paper, and he predicted that If Stan ford was beaten this season It would be either the Webfoots or the Huskies who would turn the trick. Oregon State and Washington State didn't great ly Impress the sportcaster. Of the southern elevens. Stan ford, of course, was placed first in Montell's future book, with probably Southern California next, followed by California and V. C. L. A. He looks for Santa Clara to come up with its usual fine club and St. Mary's to be fair, though not nearly so power ful as the Broncs. Returning to the subject of the Olivermen, Montell was im pressed by the fact that it will be an older team than usual. with most of the players over 21 and therefore not eligible for the draft. On the other hand, he said, the Trojans had many players under 21 who might be inducted into the army with the resultant weakening of the squad. Vtitf.. TWO DATS AND A NIGHT TWO PERSONS INCUDES: "Room & Bath Dinner or Supper Dancing 'Breakfast sin nmis.i. Estimated 1 20 Golfers to Fire Qualifying Rounds Friday I PLAY Many Out-of-Town Entrants To Compete Predict 82's Will Qualify. Bristling with low-handicap players. Including several cap able of administering a sound thrashing to Old Man Par, a field expected to reach approxi mately 120 will toil over the Rogue Valley Golf club's sweep ing fairways and velvet greens all day Friday in 18-hol quali fying rounds for the 13th an nual Southern Oregon-Northern California amateur classic. Match Dlay in all flights will start Saturday and continue through Monday, Labor day. Although several local en trants in the blue-ribbon tour nament plan to fire their qual ifying rounds today, the bulk of what looks like the strongest field in the history of the event will tee off tomorrow. Club of ficials say everything is in read- ney, with tne course in excel lent condition and clubhouse facilities arranged to provide everything necessary to the many out-of-town and local shot makers entered. Observers predicted that It would take an 82 to qualify for the championship flight, to consist of the 32 low scorers The qualifying line broke off at 83 last year, with all 82's and under getting into the title flight and several 83 s qualify ing after playoffs. Following the first round of match play, the beaten 16 in the championship flight will make up the first flight. All other flights will con sist of 18 players. Hanen To Qualify Although defending champion Dick Hanen of Marshfield and other former champloni are automatically placed in the championship flight and do not have to qualify, they plan to shoot qualifying rounds in quest of medalist honors. Last year Eddie Simmons of Medford, four-time tourney winner, and Luclan Clement tied for the medal prize with 89's, one un der par, but the latter was awarded the prize on the flip of a coin. Clement la no longer resident of Medford and will not compete in the tournament. In the 1640 tourney 58 out- of-town golfers from as far north as Seattle and as far south San Francisco competed against local entrants, and club officials expect at least that many will again be on hand for the event. Leading the visiting conting ent, of course, will be Dick Hanen, who defeated Simmons in the championship match last year. Forrest Watson, former northwest amateur champion and a one-handicap player, is expected to come here from Se attle for the tournament, and another fine out-of-town swinger planning to compete Is Cy Don aldson of San Francisco, an other one-handicap man. Sev eral other high-ranking stars from rorthern California, Wash ington and other parts of Ore gon will start arriving today. Locals Threats Carrying the championship hopes of Medford are Simmons, Leland (Pete) Clark, finalist in 1939 and always a dangerous threat, though he has never managed to win the meet, and Bob Hammond, champion In 1929 and 1931.

As the 45th clastic swung Into third round and quarter-final en gagements, gone from the Field club's divot-scarred battleground were such greats as Dick Chap man, Johnny Goodman, Johnny Fischer, ex-champions all, and genial Charley Yates who took the last British amateur title. Valiantly carrying on for the favorites' cause against mount ing odds were such standouts as former titlehoider ana cur rent favorite Marvin (Bud) Ward, Harry Todd. Pat Abbott and Ray Billows. But lined up against them was a youthful brigade of brash and compara tively little known challengers Bob Riegeo, Neil White, Skee Riegel and Lou Jennings, to mention only a few. Ward, stout-hearted Spokane star who won this championship In 1939, blazed his way to two triumphs yesterday to become the only ex-titleholder stiU in the running.

BEARS TO BATTLE STARS THIS EVE Chicago. Aug. 28. P This is the night the Chicago Bears find out what kind of business they can do with Tom Harmon and company. It's the eighth annual battle of college all-stars and profes sional football champions in Sol dier field. All 93.200 tickets have been sold and 5,000 service men will be admitted free to the game and the colorful cere monies beforehand.

Against the all-stars will be arrayed virtually the same squad of Bears that mowed down the Washington Redskins, 73 to 0 last year in the championship pro game, and presenting the same great T formation on which Owner-Coach George Ha tas has developed a variety of man-in-motlon plays. The Bears will go on the field the favorites at odds of possibly 3i to 1. The fleet marine force is divi ded into two divisions, one on the East coast and one on the West. Each division has more than 13,000 men. with happy days! BROOKLYN BLASTS CINCY FLAG HOPE 410 2 By Judson Bailey Associated Press Writer The desperate hopes of the Cincinnati Reds for a miracle that would return them to a third straight world series have been engulfed In the slow tide that seems to be carrying the Brooklyn Dodgers on its crest. They had their best and per haps last chance to break into the thick of the National league pennant scramble last night and failed, as Kirby Higoe whipped Johnny Vander Meer 4-2 before 30.000 fans at Ebbets field. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Giants in another night game, 8-5. In the other National league games Pittsburgh walloped the Phillies 12-2 with a 21-hit bom bardment, and the Chicago Cubs divided a doubleheader with the Boston Braves. Manny Salvo shut out the Cubs 6-0 on five hits in the opener and then Char ley Root pitched 8 2-3 Innings in relief to win the second ses sion 6-4 and gain the 200th vic tory of his 16-year career. The New York Yankees added another game to their immense American league lead by over whelming the St. Louis Browns 11-1 in a night game. The last place Washington Senators crushed the second place Chicago White Sox, 11-3 Lefty Grove pulled a muscle in his side, possibly meaning his loss for the season as the Boston Red Sox dropped a 6-3 verdict to the Detroit Tigers. Jeff Heath drove in seven runs with two homers and a triple as the Cleveland Indians assaulted the Athletics. 11-4. SOFTBALL MEET WILL RESUME IF SUN SHINES Oregon City, Aug. 28.
