Billy Hulen Says:
No Game Turkey
Day, Unless Two
Army Teams Play
Medford, Ashland Slate Final Drills for Friday Clash
KfHfnrH will have no Thanks
giving day football game Involv
ing the Black Tornado.
That ts practically a certainty.
With The Dalles clash coming up
the week following Turkey day,
it is the opinion of the Medford
coaching staff and school of
ficials that it would be too much
of a risk to schedule a tough
opponent before the game which
may decide the state title.
Nothing could be settled, no
championship of any kind could
be determined in a game with
any team on Thanksgiving day,
and it is felt that such a contest
wouldn't be worth the chance
,h Tnmado would take in sul
rinff inluriea to one or more
kev men. We agree. Think
Vimu th. lnmla would be weak
..H if Rill Wall or Ike Orr or
Cato Wray, say, should be crip
pled for The Dalles fracas.
So, there will not be a game
here November zu, unless
Unless somebody or some
organisation takes advantage
of the golden opportunity to
promote a struggle between
two U. S. army teams. It can
be done, tt Is right there,
waltlna ts be arranged.
Battery B, 249th Coast Ar
tillery at Tort Stevens, has
great football eleven. Last week
end they battled John Warren's
University of Oregon freshmen
to a scoreless tie before a sell
out crowd at Astoria. And they
want game in this section of
the state.
BOTH ELEVENS IN
EXCELLENT SHAPE;
Jandreau Considered Threat
To Tigers Many Good
Seats Still Available.
Sgt. Jess Barton writes us that
"if you think there Is a possi
bility of getting a game lined up
down there, let us know. We
may be able to get one of these
other army teams to travel down
there with us and put on a show
for you."
So, there It is. There Is the
chance to provide a gridiron at
traction for the thousands of
fans here who, down through
the years, have always, always
had their football on Thanksgiv
ing day. It can be done, and
we believe it should be done.
Every player en the 249th
quid ts a home-spun Ore .
gonian, Sgt. Barton writes.
And. boy oh boy. what a line
up they have. Steve Fowler,
ex-Aihland high star and Uni
versity of Oregon player, is
the fullback. Bobby Anacker,
now weighing 165 pounds. Is
the left half. Remember
Anacker. from Klamath Falls?
Charley Warren, "faster than
ver." is the right half. He's
from Ashland. Salem's Virgil
Teams plays quarter.
The forward wall is gigantic.
Frank Pettijohn, 220-pound ex
SONS star, plays center. Pat
Patton, 219 from Cotage Grove,
and Leland Dragoo, 209, from
Albany, take care of the guard
posts. Albany's Dan Newman,
210. and Barton, 200, from Co
qullle, man the tackle berths.
At the ends are Ken Schilling.
IBS, former Ashland high and
SOCE flash and ex-coach of
Butte Falls high, and 205-pound
Gordon Gemmell of Salem,
brother of Ron Gcmmcll, sports
editor of the Salem Statesman.
Other southern Oregon boyj
are on the squad, namely.
Benny Angus of Klamath, alter
nate quarterback, and George
Bullion and Ken LaBranch,
both of whom played football
at SOCE in 1937, '38 and ',39.
The 249th Is undefeated. They
licked Fort Canby, Wash., 38 to
0; Portland Air Base, 30 to 7
and 18th Coast Artillery. 13 to
0. And, as Set. Barton remarks,
they would like to play a game
here In the near future.
Such a contest. In our opin
ion, would draw a whale of a
crowd. In all probability the
two army elevens would come
to Medford for bare expenses.
Maybe less, for the government
Is bending every effort to pro
vide recreation for the Ameri
can youths training to defend
their country. And the govern
ment is not worrying too much
about what it costs.
We suggest that an Invita
tion be extended to the 249th
to psck up Us grid togs,
round up another powerful
army aggregation, and corns
to Medford on Thanksgiving
day. It weuld be a fine ges
ture on Medford a part.
gesture revealing that we
here are willing to do our
part In providing recreation
for the boys in the army.
And besides that, we would
have some rough, tough, flcht
ing football on the day that
traditionally is a football day.

Medford's Black Tornado and
the Ashland high Grizzlies
scheduled final practice sessions
today for their annual classic
here Friday night, and reports
from the respective camps were
that both squads were in excel
lent condition for the struggle.
Bill Bowerman's locals, un
defeated and untied In six starts
and gunning for the 1941 Ore
gon prep championship, figure
to enter the contest substantial
favorites over their traditional
rivalf, who have lost only one
game in six trips to the post.
However, some observeis are
Inclined to believe that Frank
O'Neil's red and white eleven,
led by Charlie Jandreau, the left
halfback with the slingshot pass
ing arm, figure to cause the
Tornado more trouble than any
of the latter's opponents thus
far.
Tornado Weighs 199s
The big, high-powered Torna
do will move into action with
a decided weight advantage
over the Grizzlies. According to
the weight charts released for
public consumption, the Black
Tornado will average 170 in the
line and 158 In the backfield
for team average of 189.9
pounds per player. Ashland, on
the other hand, and according
to its published weights, will
take the field with a 161-pound
forward wall and a 149-pound
backfield for team average
of 156.8.
Left Tackle Bud Mayfleld, at
195 pounds, will be the largest
man in the Tornado line, which
will include Curt Hopkins at
left end. Bob Mitchell at left
guard, Dan Winter at center,
Roger Barker or Wes Davis at
right guard, Stan Smith at right
tackle and Big Bill Wall at right
end.
Medford's backfield, with no
one player tipping the scales at
over 166 pounds, will Include
Bob Stead at quarter, Cato Wray
at left half, Ike Orr at right
half and Cliff Jones at fullback.
Herrln Largest
Martin Herrln, right tackle.
will be the largest man in the
Grizzly line, at 190 pounds.
Bob Dunn is expected to open at
right end, Clyde Garrett at right
guard, Russ Hawk at center,
LaMar Ormond at left guard,
Chet Fowler at left tackle and
John Bell at left end.
The Ashland backs will In
clude Bill Elam at quarterback,
Jandreau at left half, the light
ning-fast Ken Caton at right half
and Bud Provost at fullback.
Local high school officials
said that plenty of good re
served seat tickets were still
available. A block of 80 was
sent to Ashland.

Undefeated Records
On Block This Week
By Matt Kramer
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
Clashes involving undefeated
teams in three sections of the
state will resound Friday in an
otherwise quiet week-end of
Oregon high school football
play.
Loudest din will come from
central Oregon, where unbeaten
Vernonia Invades the home of
the once-beaten Prlneville Cow
boys. The highest scoring teams
in the state, Vernonia has piled
up 233 points In six games and
Prlneville 279 In seven.
The largest attendance in
Prinevllle's history Is predicted
for what is expected to be a
high-scoring contest. But points
may be few. Vernonia has the
best defensive record In Ore-

Southern Oregon attention
will be on the Medford-Ashland

that has yet to win a game.
Most teams will be resting

the Willamette valley will see

will witness the traditional Til-lamook-Astoria
fray.
New fall fashion for officers
in the navy include the wearing
of a black bow tie with the
regulation blue service uniform.
THE DALLES GAME
CHANGED TO DAY
The time of the Medford-The
Dalles football clash at The
Dalles November 28, previous
ly slated- at night, has been
changed to the afternoon of the
same date. Principal Leonard B.
Mayfleld of Medford said he had
been informed by The Dalles
school officials.
The reason for the change,
Mayfleld said it was explained
in a letter, is that it gets too
cold in The Dalles for night
games the latter part of No
vember. The letter added that
all business firms in the Colum
bia river city would probably
close during the afternoon of
the clash, which looms as the
one to decide the 1941 mythical
state championship.
Three Backfield Stars Surpass
Tommy Harmon's 1940 Mark
By Call Fowler
Seattle. Nov. 6. (.TV A year ago Tom Harmon of Mich
igan and Al Ghesquiere qf Detroit were hailed as the nation's
most prodigious football ground gainers, but maybe it's Just
as well the boys have graduated.
Because American football
statistical bureau figures re
leased today show that they
would be trailing a threesome
consisting of Bill Dudley of Vir
ginia, Elmer Madarik of Detroit
and F r a n k 1 e Sinkwich of
Georgia.
At this stage last year Har
mon was the nominal total of
fensive leader with 833 yards
from rushing and passing. This
year the three leaders are Dud
ley with 1,173 yards; Madarik
with 1,131 and Sinkwich with
1,003, putting Harmon 180 yards
behind the third man.
Ghesquiere last year led the
rushers with 617 yards. This
year Sinkwich has gained 655
for the same period, despite
playing with a broken jaw.
Dave Allerdice of Princeton
was pacing the 1940 passers
with 51 completions out of 103
attempts. This year Owen
"Muggsy" Price of Texas Mines
has more attempts and compe
tions per game for his five
games than O'Brien did.
J'VILLE EXTENDS
Jacksonville high's Redskins
continued to roll over all six
man football opposition yester
day, scoring a 26 to 12 con
quest of Phoenix for their 20th
straight victory over a three
year period. The game was
played at Phoenix.
Campbell, Smith, Hyde and
Hardy tallied touchdowns for
the winners, while Johnson and
Lewis scored for Phoenix The
Redskins led at halftime, 20
to 6.
The 1941 Jackson county
has completed 63 of 135. Price class B high school conference
is shooting for Davey O'Brien's championship will be decided
modern record established in Armistice day when the Red
1938 when he completed 93 of skins meet Prospect, also un
167 for Texas Christian. Price beaten and untied this season.
The game Is scheduled for Jack
