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. The
squad will return to Medford

DIES OF CANCER
Los Angeles, Sept. 9. (IP)
Bob Ray, who could write base
ball and parry quips with the
best of them, is dead.
He succumbed late yesterday
In a hospital to cancer, after
a long illness. The disease cut
short a career which, at 37, had
sent him to the top rank of the
nation's bhseball columnists.
Ray started writing for the
Los Angeles Times when he was
in high school. By last year, he
had been elevated to assistant
sports editor. He wrote fre
quently for national magazines
and baseball newspapers, and
his quick repartee made him
a favorite speaker.
Survivors include his widow,
the former Ethel Ann Fromm,
and two children, Patrick Lane,
10, and Robert Lee, 9.
Mrs. Ivan Waddell placed fifth
among 416 entries in the 100-
yard metallic sights match and
finished third in the national
women's championships at the
national ride matches held in
Camp Perry, Ohio, the past two
weeks, according to a telegram
received today from Mr. Wad
dell, who accompanied his wife
to the matches.
Mr Waddell said in his wire
that he had been elected a di
rector of the National Rifle
association. The Waddcls were
expected to arrive back In
Medford September 12.

RACING PCL RACE
ENTERS LAST TWO
WEEKS THIS EVE
By the Associated Press
The Coast league champion
shin argument Is returned to
the ball clubs Involved today,
with thanks and best wishes
from students of the sport.
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.

Brooklyn's "Bums" Odds-on
Favorites to Grab Pennant
By Sid Fader
Associated Press Sports Writer
Even the bookmakers finally have discovered Brooklyn l
still in the National league.
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.

Toms sold down one cent to
