PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Juzwik Should Receive Heisman Football Trophy Balloting has started to select for the Downtown Athletic club of New York City the 1941 win ner of football greatest Individ ual award, the Heisman Memor ial trophy given annually to the player the nation's sports writ ers choose as the outstanding college football player in the United States. . This year's winner will follow such illustrious predecessors as Yale's Larry Kelley, Yale's Clint Frank, Davey O'Brien of Texas Christian, Nile Kinnlck of Iowa and Michigan s great Tommy Harmon. The trophy sponsors have been kind enough to ask this department to cast a vote, which we did this very day. And, who was out selection for the award? A fellow by the name of Steve Juzwik, who plays halfback for team called Notre Dame. Juawlk, as all rabid grid iron fanatics know, has been mighty terrlilc for Frank Leahy's Irish. With Bertelli, the sophomore passing sensa tlon, he has Been largely re sponsible for the great success of the current Notre Dame eleven, which will enjoy an unbeaten season If It hurdles weak U. S. C. Yes. we think Juswik Is the number one player In the nation. Our second choice was Billy Sewell of Washington State, and our third was Urban Odson, 245-pound tackle for Minneso ta's Golden Gophers. Sewell has sparked the Cougars on their great comeback drive, and Is probably a clnrh for All-Pacific coast conference honors and might even be named an All American. Odson Is the terror of the Western conference. Speaking of balloting, coaches and sports writers in Medford, Klamath Falls, Ashland and Grants Pass are voting at pres ent to aid the Mall Tribune In selecting Its eighth annual All Southern Oregon conference elevens. Voting are Coaches Bill Bow rman of Medford, Buck Ham mer of Klamath Falls, Justin Weakloy of Grants Pass and Frank O'Nell of Ashland, and Scribes Jim Welch of the Grants Pass Courier, Larry Hunter of the Ashland Tidings, Bob Leon ard of the Klamath News and Herald and Bill Hulen of the Mail Tribune.

MIDLAND IN FOR CLASH Fremont, Neb., Nov. 19. (IP) Unbeaten Midland college agreed today to meet Pacific Lutheran of Tacoma, Wash., in a postseason football game at a time and place not yet set. Midland officials said tney agreed with Coach Cliff Olson of Pacific Lutheran a neutral site would be preferable, but Olson was also checking the pos sibility of using Lutheran's sta dium. The Washington school, unbeaten thus far, has two games left on its schedule. Midland's decision came be fore plans had Jelled for a 'back yard bowl" game with Kearney, Neb., Teachers, also undefeated. Hunters Bag Ducks Misled by Weather Kansas City, Nov. 19. (IP) Shirt sleeve weather sent Hunts men Joe Saunders and Jack Swind down to a Missouri river duck blind yesterday for a little fresh air. Just tor practice they put out decoys and quacked a couple of times. Each came home short ly with the limit of 10 mallards. "We saw bia bunches of mal lards," Saunders said. "They ap peared misled by the warm weather and were on the way back north." Harrisburg Defeats Warrenton, 50 to 12 Astoria, Nov. 19.-iV-Har- rlsburg high school, undefeated in two years of six-man football play, trounced Warrenton, 30 to 12, here last night.

Weekly Prize Botany Wrinkle Proof TIE T those picking the most games correctly each week GAME SCHEDULED FOR 10:30 A. M. AT GRANTS PASS Ex-Tiger Stars Declare Themselves Ready For Foe KUIN To Broadcast Former gridiron heroea of Medford high school met In the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce last night and en thusiastically declared they were ready to clash with the Grants Pass alumni in a Thanksgiving day contest at Grants Pass to morrow morning. The game will start at 7 0:30 sharp, and will be broadcast by station KUIN, Grants Pass. The local lads will leave from the chamber of commerce at 8 a. m. tomorrow, and all ex-Tor nado players desiring to make the trip and trod the turf once more are asked to meet at that time. Uniforms and shoes will be borrowed from Medford high. Leo Sakraida, fullback on the 193S and 1936 Tiger elevens, was in charge of the meeting, and he was ably assisted by 300- pound Bill Clute, former Tor nado tackle. A dozen others pledged themselves to prove that Medford high s domination over the Cavemen the past sev eral years was no fluke, and that this mastery still holds good out of school. Strong Roster The roster of the alumni team will probably look something like this: Ends, Dick Woodcock, Stan Winter, Bob Wilson, Fred Gunnette, Don Monteith; tackles, Art Wine trout, Bill Clute, Mickey Miller, Ray Offord, El- don Grow; guards, Floyd Baker, Al Wray, Warren Loffer: cent ers, Sam VanDyke, Harry Thur man, Ardo Stocks, Tommy Wright; backs, Rodney Stead, Dale Haley, Don Wilson, Leo Sakraida, Bud Sakraida, Bobby Ettinger, John Saulsberry, Bill Caples. Not all these players attended the meeting, but it was expected most of them would rally to the call and show up at the chamber of commerce in the morning. Wlnetrout, who weighs 240, Is not a Medford "aluminum." As a matter of fact he is a graduate of Grants Pass high. However, ha lives here and wants to play with the locals, so they'll prob ably disguise him as a water boy or something and trust that Grants Pass doesn't recognize their own former star. Another "ringer" Medford will attempt to stick In the fray Is Al Wray, a graduate of Stockton, Cal. high. He plays left field for the Craters in the summer time, so will probably be dis guised as an outfielder. Orr Leads G. P. The Grants Pass team will be captained by Jim Orr, center and former Oregon State college regular. Their roster Includes Dick Lessert, Berton Whipple and Keith Kennedy, ends; Duke Badley and Bob Palmer, tackles; Harold Drake and Duane Dahl, guards; John Chipley, John Shaw, Harold Bormouth, Jack Wilson, Buck Johnson and Bob Blakeley, backs. mm fey MD Wit tMh.

(AP) Rose Bowl talk still was for bidden among the Oregon State football players today, but the campus was full of it, and many an old grad practically was pack ing up for Pasadena. Once again the Beavers, far western Cinderella team of 1941 and only school among the founders of the Pacific coast con ference never to make the New Year's day game, were on the bowl ballot and clear up at the top, too. Only two teams stand in their way Montana, which looks easy, and Oregon, which doesn't. Since they defeated California, 6 0 last Saturday while Washing ton State knocked off Stanford, 14-13, the Oregonians hold the inside lane. OSC, Stanford and Washington each has lost two games but OSC defeated the other two. In cases of ties, it has been the custom to give the bowl bid to the team that defeated its co-champion or champions. Prep Elevens Near Season's End This Week; Ashland Plays By Matt Kramer Associated Press Writer A schedule to quail the hardi est will virtually wind up Ore gon high school football play this week. Arlington, Amity and New port, all undefeated in class B competition, will meet in a series of contests that may determine the B championship of the state. Amity earned its ninth win of the season Monday by polishing off Dayton, 33 to 7, and will vie with Arlington, 10-game winner, at McMinnville Thanksgiving day. Newport will seek Its eighth win against Toledo the same day, and will meet Arlington Satur day. Among the major powers, who play but one game a week, un defeated The Dalles travels to Pendleton Thursday, If the In dians win that one, and a game next week against Medford, they OWL DELIVERY SERVICE From 7:00 A. M. to 12:45 A. M. On Our Ice Cold WINES-BEERS will be In line for a post-season game with Myrtle Point for the state championship. Albany's Bulldogs will invade Eugene on Thanksgiving, seek ing a win that would enable them to tie Salem and Corvallis for the No Name league title. Other turkey day games will see Everett, unbeaten in Wash ington, at Salem, the Pacific Uni versity freshmen at Corvallis and Roseburg at Ashland. I By Gall Fowler Seattle, Nov. 19. (JP) It's unlikely that any Pacific coast conference gridders will surpass the individual statistical stand ards of 1940 by the time the cur rent season ends unless it's Curt "Curly" Mecham of Oregon. Official conference figures from the American football sta tistical bureau show four of 1940 s five high marks compara tively safe from assault. Only in punting has last year's top figure a chance to be topped. Norm Standlee of Stanford had a 42.63 average last year. Me cham has been leading the coast for weeks and now has a 41.02 mark which he conceivably could better in his closing three games.

(AP) For school that was on the verge of throwing intercollegiate football overboard last spring, Whitman college has been doing pretty well this season. So well, in fact, that If any body got up In Whitman stu dent body meeting now and pro posed abandonment of the sport, he'd probably get mobbed. The entire student body of 570 now is behind the gridiron entry, which is undefeated in five games, and which plays Willam ette university here tomorrow for the northwest conference title. Coach R. V. ,'Nlg" Borleske, in his 27th year as Whitman's head mentor, says the new student spirit has been the difference be tween this year's victories and last season's defeats. forzuppkejob; Chicago, Nov. 19.
