SHARPEN TIGERS FOR FRIDAY TILT Bowerman Boys Drill On Down-Field Blocking- Results Dissatisfy Coach. Coach Bill Bowerman Is run nlng hi Medford high school Tigers through tough workouts this week In preparation for the first big football game of the year Corvallis at tha local sta dium at 8:19 Friday night. But work as his men will, Bower man Is not satisfied yet. "We ve been drilling hard on down-field blocking but we're not functioning right yet," Bow erman said ruefully as he de scribed how ragged this depart ment of the game was last week against the comparatively weak team from Weed, Cal. "We're trying to iron out other defen sive trouble, too, in anticipation of a strong Corvallis attack and can t say I'm any too well pleased yet. Corvallis. you know, is reputed to have the biggest and fastest team In years and It looks like a big order for us Friday night." Corvallis Lin Blf The Corvallis line, Bower man said, is bigger than the Medford line, and the Tigers are no peewees. Biggest and best In the Corvallis line, he rated Chuck Apple, 230 pounds of dynamite. Meantime some Injuries are bothering the Tiger outfit. Curt Hopkins left end, who had his face pretty well cut up last Fri day, is going around with a swollen phiz but a special mask has been made for him so that he can start Friday night. Left half Cato Wray has a bruised left shoulder and right half Ike Orr, who already had suffered from one Charley horse, now has another. Other players are plagued with minor but annoy ing injuries.

Powerful Depcndsbl TERMS HANSEN HARDWARE sparring partners with vicious intent in yesterday's drill but he didn't even want to stop when his headgear slipped off in a brisk exchange with George Nicholson. He tossed the protective armor aside and started to wade in again, but Promoter Mike Jacobs, thinking of what might happen to the expected 8700.000 gate if Louis should receive a cut, rushed to the ringside and saw to it that the workout was halted until the headgear was replaced. Pompton Lakes, N. J., Sept. 24. OP) Lou Nova tossed a final right-hand shot at spar ring partner Johnny Aichers as the gong sounded, then leaned over the ropes and remarked, "This guy' a lot tougher than Louis." Which Just goes to show you how Louie the Yogi's fistic fam ily, all the way from the chlei in the kitchen, right up to and including the blond Californian, himself, feel about the heavy Weight champion who has been riited by many the greatest fighter of all time. There is nothing but contempt for the Joe Louis punching power, his durability and even his heart in this Lakeside camr of the hero of the cosmic punch who has a date with the bomber Monday night In the Pole Grounds ring In New York. Up here, the No. 1 boy is Just an other guy named Joe. Bears' Center Out With Temperature Berkeley.

IN EARLY LEADS San Francisco, Sept. 24 (Jf, Seattle and Sacramento we.e off to early leads today in the Coast league's Shaughnessy playoffs, but the champion Rat- niers had to cash in on five errors by Hollywood to do it.

Sacramento won second place in the final league standings by nipping San Diego, 9 to 4, at San Diego in an 11-lnning bat tle.
