I. W. HARPER
Eugene, Sept. 24. W) The
University of Oregon today def
inltely lost the hoped-for end
strength of Hymle Harris, reg
ular right wingman in 1939 who
was slated to return this season,
Coach Tex Oliver has received
word from the Seattle veteran
that his requested Inactive ap
plication has been refused by
the United States naval reserves
and tha he will remain on duty
in t,nicago.
Oliver, however, 1 satisfied
with the performance of two
200-pounders who have been
working at the position, namely
Jim Shephard, 1940 reserve end
and former frosh fullback, and
Bill Borcher, 6-foot-4 center on
Oregon's basketball team for
the past two seasons.
The Webfoots will continue
secret practice through Thurs
day, leaving that night for Palo
Alto and Saturday' important
opener against Stanford's con
ference champions.

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.
The game has been set down
18 minutes to 8:19 to allow time
for a huge bonfire Just north
oi me sionas. A Dig crowd Is
anticipated, though a few re
served seats were still available
today.

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

his heart in this Lakeside camr
