PAGE TOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1941 Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: '-. Veteran Ashland Eleven Figures To Be Tough Foe '. Ashland has a veteran team, two above-average backs In Charlie Jandreau and Bud Pro vost, and a better record than any Grizzly eleven of the past several years. All of which leads to this department's prediction that considerable football will be played come Friday night, when the boys from the south go against - the Black Tornado under the loal arcs. There are certain number of overly-optimistic Tiger- support ers obsessed with the Idea tne Tornado will have a breeze, will run somewhat roughshod over their opponents, a la Corvallis (41 to 0). We do not subscribe to that belief, neither does the Medford coaching staff or the Medford players. This latter group is of the opinion that Ashland will be tougn. , With only one first-stringer missing from last year's ag gregation, the Grisslies have compiled an enviable record under the first-year coaching of Frank O'Neil, former Pa cific university athlete. la six starts Ashland has dropped only one, a 28 to 0 affair to Klamath Falls. Victories have been scored over Lakevlew and Grants Pass, both by 20 to 0; over Coquille, 12 to 7 ever Dunsmulr, 33 to 13 and ever Yreka 7 to 6. Medford. Incidentally, defeated Grants Pass 19 to S, and Klamath Falls, 32 to 21. Jandreau, the left halfback, does the passing and the bulk of the running from both single and double wing offensive for mations, and Provost takes care of the punting and the straight ahead power plunging. Bill Elam at quarter, and Ken Ca ton at right half are also good backs, the latter operating most ly oo reverses. . While we do not believe the Grizzlies will present enough defense to stop the Tornado's terrific aerial and running at tacks, cor manufacture an of fense potent enough to outscore the locals, it la our humble opinion the game won't be f duplication of last year's 41 to 0 rout, when Ca to Wray ran wild for three touchdowns, pas sed, for another and the Griz zlies were held to six net yards on the ground and 48 In the air. rdivde redhia st...4;f,a shrdld We believe Ashland will score at least once, maybe twice. And maybe even three times. Medford can be scored on. that has been proved by every opponent this year with the exception of Corvallis. But the point is, the Tornado has always been able to match the foe's touchdowns, and then some. A perfect example of this was the Klamath game, the Pelicans getting three touchdowns, ordinarily enough to win, only to see the locals make five. The 1941 Ashland team la un doubtedly stronger than last year's outfit, which went Into the Medford game with two de feats and a tie marring its re cord. It might be said that Med ford, this season, also Is more powerful than the 1940 Tigers. We believe It. Yet, we don't think that Medford has Improv ed over last year as much as Ashland has over Its 1940 HAVE YOU HEARD, MEDFORD? -because it's Vat 'Blended just like the most expensive im ported whiskies OLD DRUM ; BRAND '".'it's VAT-BLEXDED" BLENDED VHISKEY () Proof-7 Gi.m Nmtrsl Spun.

Phog Allen Charges Basketball Becoming A 'Racket' for Money Kansas City, Kas., Nov. B (JP) "And basketball, too, is be coming a racket! The words boomed from For rest C. (Phog) Allen, University of Kansas cage coach. He's fol lowed the sport now for some 30 odd years. The occasion was Y.M.C.A. Better Basketball Clinic, a gold en Jubilee celebration for the game conceived by Dr. James A. Naismith in Springfield, Mass., the winter of 1891. 'Today, and in Increasing pro portions, basketball Is being played for the dough involved," Allen stormed. "Young men are going to colleges and universi ties where they can get the most. "Like football, it's becoming a closed corporation. Select high school prospects are invited in and yet hundreds of boys, eager to play the game, are never In vited out. "Many athletes never grad uate after they finish, three years of competition. They re ceive a salary and glory in sub stitute for a diploma. TEXAN COMPLETES 73 OF 1 30 FLINGS Commerce, Tex., Nov. 8. (IP) Modest J. C. Meeks has com pleted 73 passes out of 130 at tempts for 901 yards and if that Isn't the national college record for the season east Texas state folks will want proof In affidav it form. He's the boy who has swept East Texas to the top of the Lone Star conference and who has kept the Lions In the ranks of the undefeated teams. He's so conservative thrifty Is the word that he washes and Irons his own shirts in his dorm itory room. You see, he works his way through school and cuts those corners. I BEARCATS DRILL ON PASS DEFENSE Salem, Nov. 8. fV-Expecting the College of Puget Sound to toss passes, Coach Roy S. Keene continued to drill his Wil lamette football team on pass defense for their game here Fri day night against C. P. S.

Otherwise, the mentor said. the Tornado's starting lineup would probably remain intact. A few players are suffering from colds and Ike Orr, Stan Winter, Jim Glenn and Cliff Jones have Charley horses, but they all are expected to be In shape to either open the game or see plenty of action before . the evening Is over. Practice sessions this wuk are being devoted mainly to snarpening eotn line and down field blocking, which Bowerman described as not too hot against Eureka. 2 Sophomores Sparkle In Conference Tills; Mecham Leads Punters Seattle, Nov. 8. W) A cou ple of sophomores provided the surprises in this week's Pacific coast conference football statis tical listings.

Since his highly satisfying de but as a Card farm manager he steered Sacramento to the final play-offs only to lose to Seattle it was fair to inquire if he did not hanker for a return to the big noise.
