PAGE FOUR Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Bowerman Hopes Team Will Score By Armistice Day "It'i too early to predict whit our squad will do, but I believe U everyone worki hard we will core touchdown by Armistice day." That's the red-hot bulletin re ceived today from Bill Bower man, the perennial pessimist, who is stationed at Lake o' Woods with some 40 of his 1941 Medford high school football spirants. The message, delivered by Courier Russ Acheson, who came to town for some supplies and . hurried right away again, went on to say, in true Bower man fashion, that "the boys are very green and it Is hard to tell when we will have our first scrimmage. Some of the lads look fair and most of the others mediocre, but I still have hopes that we'll get that touchdown by November 11." Listing the positions of the players on the training camp roster, the head coach makes three rather startling disclos ures. They are: (1) Bill Wall, giant tackle of last year and the lone re turning regular lineman. Is working out at right end along with drilling at left tacklei (I) Jimmy Glenn, another big 1940 lineman, is learning the fullback assignments In addition to those at right ' guard) (3) Curt Hopkins, reg ular right halfback on last aaason's state championship runners-up, has been definite ly shifted to left end. Although Bowerman made no explanation of these moves, It Is not hard to understand wny Hopkins has been transferred to a flank position and Wall is be ing given shot at the other wing spot. The Tornado lost Just four ends via graduation, With wealth of backfleld ma-l ferial available the mentor ap parently figures he can move Hopkins up front where he will be mora valuable. - And although he didn't men tion the fact, Bowerman evl dently likes the looks of Bud 'Mayfleid, 200-pound transfer from Woodland, Cal. Mayfleld is a left tackle. Wall's regular position. If Mayfleld didn't Im press the coach considerably, would Wall be tentatively shifted to right end? It doesn't appear so. Another transfer showing to advantage is Russ Hawk, who held down the center post for the Ashland high Grlrilles last season. (Yes, Hawk is attend ing the training camp in person, which should once and for all aquelch those denials from Ash land that the big fellow will transfer to Medford.) The squad, as listed by Bow- rrman, looks like this: centers. Hawk, Dan Winter. Bill Bayliss, Jim Miller and Jack Pope; right guards, Roger Barker, Wes Davis, Jimmy Glenn and Jim Hoey; left guards, Clayton And erson, Bob Mitchell, Ken Stocks and Bob Hodgman; right tackles Ray Casebeer, Stan Smith and Leo Miksche; left tackles. Bill Wall, Bud Mayfleld, Ivan Cherry and Don Barrow; right ends, Bob Young, Lee Reynolds, Bill Wall. Barrel Monteith and Dick Shelley: left ends, Curt Hop kins. Chet Ricks, Don Peterson. Quarterbacks, Bob Stead, Bob Davis, Jack Baker and Bob Mitchell! right halfbacks, Ike Orr, Steve Dlppel and Jack Youngi left halfbacks, Cato Wray, Hal Adams and Pete Orri fullbacks, Jimmy Glean, Cliff Jones and Steve Isaac. The Tornado's opening game Is only 10 days distant, against the .Weed CaU high Cougars here the night of September 19 Despite what Bowerman says we believe the locals will score a touchdown In this clash.

Confounded by the Sacramen to debacle, the utter breakdown of a team which seemed to have everything, these alleged experts are throwing in the towel as gracefully as circumstances per mit. It's two weeks to go and may the best men win that is the resigned attitude being taken by the fellows whose chief Joy in life comes in telling you how things will turn out. Two weeks Is brief enough a time, particularly in compara son with the season's seven- month run. Yet consider that only two weeks ago Sacramento stood seven full games ahead of the field,' and now the Senators rest in third place. Their deficiency Is minute, to be sure two percentage points behind first-place Seattle, one point below the No. 2 San Diego Padres. But there is nothing to Indicate that the decline will not continue. It's strictly a three-club bat tle. Sacramento plays at Holly, wood this week, and the- first time the fourth-place Stars lose, they will be mathematically out or contention. Seattle entertains San Fran- cisco and Portland plays host to Los Angeles. The latter stand will include two other extra twin bills, probably Thursday ana JTiaay nights, to compen sate for previous postponements. San Diego at Oakland com pletes the week's pairings.

For the first time since the. pennant pot started to sizzle, the West 49th street betting booths in Pa Knickerbocker's village, have put the Brooklyns up as favorites to hang onto their three-game lead through the last western whirl they start today, and go on to the championship. Convinced at last that maybe "The Bums" can finish in front of the St. Louis Cardinals, the bookies not only took the favor ite's spot away from the gas housers. but skyrocketed the Dodgers into the choice's chair at odds-on in the wagering. On the latest prices, you have to lay $3.50 to win $1 if you like Brooklyn. On the other !and. If you're still stringing along witn om si. L.00, you can get $2.50 for each $1 you put up. The $1 difference is what is known as the bookie's spread What finally convinced the betting boys was not only the three-game edge the daffiness boys built up, but also the fact that the schedule the rest of the way definitely leans far over in Brooklyn a favor, Looking beyond the action for the next couple of days (the Cards tangle with the pathetic Phillies and the Brooklyns work on the Chicago Cubs) you come right up and say howdy to the hot Dodger-Cardinal series Thursday, Friday and Saturday in St. Louis. It things Thursday are still as they are today, the Missouri Wildcats must sweep that set In order to come charg ing back into the fight. Both leagues took holiday yesterday.
