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

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.

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

BARKERIZE AND FEEL WONDERFUL
(Dan Jessee Does Miracles
With Little
By Lou Black
Hartford, Conn.. Nov. 12. (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

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."

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.

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. Two min
utes were left after their last
touchdown.
Santa Clara made 15 straight
downs to Oregon's 6. 63 yards in
rushing to Oregon's 35. Oregon
completed eight out of 12 passes
and intercepted five out of the
first 10 Santa Clara attempts
before Freitas got the range.
Santa Clara's aggregate was 13
completions in 25 tries for 253
yards.
Oregon scored twice on Rob-lin-to-Crish
passes for 28 and 6
yards and on a brilliant 71-yard
punt return by Robin.
