PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Tough Salem Club First Hurdle On 'Comeback' Trail The Black Tornado starts up the "comeback" trail here Fri day night, and from the looki of things the schedule-maker could have picked considerably eas ier opponent than Salem high's Vikings appear to be. Harold Hauk's eleven will take the field against the Tigers with nine (count em) seniors in the starting lineup, with a line average 180 pounds and a back field tipping the Fairbanks at 160 for a 172.7 team avenge, and with only one defeat mar ling their 1941 escutcheon. All of which seems to spell TROU BLE for the locals, preparing to erase the memory of that 13 to 20 Ashland loss. The only two Inexperienced members of the big Viking team are Jim Wegner, 160- pound sophmore right end, and Owen Garland, nu-pouna iresn man blocking quarterback. Gar land, Incidentally, is the only Dlayer in Salem high history to make the varsity eleven while till attending Junior high school. All the rest of the start ing-team members are veterans. Bud Coons, 170-pound tri ple threat fullback, is the big gun In the Viking attack, do ing most of the passing and kicking and plenty of the run ning. However, he gets run ning help from 155-pound Dutch Simmons, left halfback, and 145-pound Rex Hardy, right half. Simmons and Har dy, the "touchdown twins," are rated the two fastest half backs In Oregon prep circles. Rollle Haag, 170. plays left end, and Ray Loter, 223, holds down left tackle. Left guard is manned by Bob Palmateer, 179; center by Bob Senderstrom, 175; right guard by 170-pound Bill Lind, and right tackle by Lloyd Griffith, 183. Loter, the big boy, is reputed to be slightly terri fic. The Vikings, whose last game with Medford In 1936 resulted in a 7 to 7 deadlock, have cap tured six out of seven games this year. They opened the sea son with a 13 to 0 win over Mil waukie and followed with a 48 to 0 conquest of Oregon City and a 20 to 0 blanking of Al bany. Then came one of the year's big upsets, a 7 to 13 defeat at the hands of Corvallis. the same team Medford walloped 41 to zero. After that poor contest was out of their systems, the Viks bit their stride with a 14 to 7 defeat of Aetoria, a 25 to 7 lick ing of Bend and a 27 to 13 trim ming of Eugene. Taking Bend as a common opponent, Medford and Salem appear to be as closely mat ched as two peas in a pod. The Vikings beat the Lava Bears by 18 potntsi Medford won from Bend by It points, 32 to 13. Winter sports enthusiasm In Medford and vicinity promises to reach an unprecendented peak this year, with that huge new Ice Arena, providing grand facilities for skaters, and the lofty nearby mountains as usual furnishing excellent runs for de votees of skiing. Not all the winter sports In terest is being centered on those two popular forms of activities, however, as evidenced by a let ter at hand from Ira C. Jones of Route 2, box 318. Mr Jones writes of his hope that the an cient game of curling can event ually be Included on the winter SDorts nrosram here. "If Medford is going In for winter sport, she cannot afford to overlook the curling game," Mr. Jones says In his letter. ' Now that we have a skating ' rink, why not Include a curling rink? "You might be suprlsed to find quite number of devotees of the old and popluar Scotch game in our midst," he contin ues. "I remained In North Da- kota, at least 10 years because : I could not bear the Idea of mis-1 sing the annual Bonsplel, when Canadians and Americans come from hundreds of miles around for the br event. "I still have the old pep and desire io skip a team and hope for my share el the vic tories as I have been able to do In the past. I wonder how many other curlers there may be living In Medford and vi cinity?" We showed the letter to Spar ky Bourciue. manager and pro fessional instructor of the Med ford Ice Arena, and he was quick to offer his complete co operation In case enough curl ers were available in this sec tion to make the idea workable Jersey City.

Phoenix Wins In another Armistice Day six- man football game the Phoenix Pirates upset Talent, 8 to 6, at Phoenix.

Talent's Attempted kick for the extra points was blocked. Y MERKI IS Portland, Ore., Nov. 12. -W) Fifteen-year-old Nancy Merkl awakened to find herself a celebrity today. Too stunned yesterday to feel much when the national AAU committee named her the out standing woman swimmer of 1941, the Multnomah club's distance-event star was beginning to get excited. By telephone and telegraph congratulations poured in. This, she told schoolmates, was some thing. A junior In high school, she was baking a cake at home when the news arrived. She said she couldn't believe it. She was rushed downtown to have her picture taken. She was Interviewed. But she couldn't think of much to say, except that it was wonderful, and her parents were proud, only they thought she ought to spend less time swimming and more in the kitchen. She thought that would be all right too, because she like to cook. Three Tie for First In Turkey Tourney Dick Wray.

MYRTLE PL WINS By Associated Press Myrtle Point bowled over Its seventh straight opponent yes terday (Tuesday) and Coach Pat Rickard challenged The Dalles, also undefeated, to a post-season game for the mythical Oregon high school football champion ship. It was the last scheduled game for the Bobcats, who showed in creasing strength as the season progressed. The victory yester day was by a 35-6 margin over Coquille, a team the Bobcats Just nosed out, 13 to 6, earlier. Their titular challenge ignored the state's third unbeaten eleven, Newport, which drubbed Toledo yesterday in the first of two games, 20 to 0. Newport has complied 250 points in wallop ing seven opponents, none of whom, however, were of major caliber. The Dalles had good reason for not accepting at once the Bobcats' offer to play either at The Dalles or Myrtle Point. The Indians must yet defeat Pendle ton and Medford.

(AP Dan Jessee, a fugitive from that old wheeze about a coach being only as good as his material, la on the eve of performing his second miracle in 10 football seasons at little Trinity college. The slim, 40-year-old former. Pacific University back and ma jor league shortstop, has taken a squad of 18, most of wnom never played the game before, I and molded it into a bunch of magicians who today occupy a chair in the nation's select circle of unbeaten and untied teams. The conquerors of Union, Ver mont, Worcester Tech, Hobart, Coast Guard Academy and Am herst face arch-rival Wesleyan here Saturday, If they win, and they should, they'll take their place with Jessee's 1934 eleven, his best. At Trinity, located on a hill top overlooking the nation's in surance capital, Jessee is given full credit for pulling the blue and gold out of the gridiron wil derness. Jessee doesn't use mirrors, or pull rabbits from a hat; he does go in for tricks, however, as a "self-defense measure. The mid dle of his line averages 160 i pounds and his backs about the same, so he puts a premium on versatility and speed, speed so the team can get the Jump on heavier opponents and "avoid getting slaughtered." Trinity has been mystifying its foes all season by Its willingness to pass or punt anywhere, any time. "Lucky, yes," says Jessee, "but plucky, and heads up football, mainly; they go out and make breaks and then capitalize on them." The Jessee system A bit of Harvard's Harlow and Cornell's Snavely and a lot of Jessee. Football Scores Colby 14, Bates 7. West Virginia Tech 20, Sa lem 0. St. Bonaventure 13, St. An selm 6.

'tt DUCKS NOSE OUT SANTA CLARA IN THRILLER, 21-19 Newqulst Conversions Bring Victory Bronco Passing Attack Falls Short. Portland, Ore., Nov. 11 IP) The University of Oregon to day thanked the kicking toe of Fullback Jimmy Newquist and the time clock for a 21 to 19 victory over Santa Clara yester day. The Ducks looked like walk away winners after scoring twice in the first period, again in the third, and holding the Broncos far away f-om scoring soil until the third period was almost over. But once the pitching arm of Halfback Jesse Freitas came into play the Oregon lead melt ed. On four passes he moved the Broncs from their own 26 yard line to a touchdown in the third period. At the start of the fourth he engineered an 87-yard thrust on passes the longest producing a 52-yard gain for the second score. Bill Braun missed the first conversion kick, had the second blocked. As the crowd roared admira ma 5J fM0iffiffl3 ' for 6-Man Title tion. Freitas started again, this time from his own 17. He let Ward Heiser pass to Dan Willii for 16, then threw 12-yarder to Heiser. He was hurt on the next play and had to retire but the impetus carried over. Casa nega threw two passes, the sec ond for the touchdown. 9 Straight At one time Santa Clara com pleted nine consecutive throws. Coach Tex Oliver left a bevy of second, third and fourth string ers on the field during the Bronc rally. The clock closed out the Broncs' chance to win.
