PAOE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy llulen Says: OHSAA Full Of Purists Bent On Sports Reform rnnb r.lanelll certainly scrib bled mouthful In Sunday'! Ore gontan when he took tome nice healthy swings at the Tu Valley claw B basketball loop for passing a set of resolutions prohibiting the presentation of ali-star awards to outstanding players and opposing the pub is. m, Ku tha IOranda Evening Observer of Individual points made by the cagers during the basketball season. Frank remarked: "Which leaves us to wonder Just what the poor player is going to get for his athletic effort a nice pat on the back for making some coach's system look good? Or maybe three cheers and a tiger from the rooting section, which promptly will forget his name the year he graduates." The Oregonlan sports writer goes on to say that "there's been a tremendous effort from various sources to put the damper on the glamour of athletics for high school players as Individuals." That la true, but thank good ness It hasn't occurred as yet In this neck of the brush, and wilth the nreaent hitfh school ad ministration it NEVER will, we are certain. Like Glanelll, this department I. .. . aKanlnMlv nn I III ioT thOSA purists who would de-emphasize and relorm nign scnooi spuria to the point where an Individual gets nothing more tangible for his prowess than "a four-bit let ter to wear on his sweater," and where ..competition.. In ..general inks to practically the intra mural level. Tha Oregon High School Activities association is packed full of thasa purists, sicken Inglr lammed with learned gentlemen who would lika to see prep sports reduced to pink teas, with tha dear little boys tunning about tha basketball court or tha gridiron merely for the fun of It and with all Intense competition elimi nated. - ' ' The OHSAA is on record as apposing any plan or, manner of 4atrnunM( . a siaie sooioau ' championship team. At its win ter meeting it even condemned championship. In short, it doesn't want to hear mentioned that hor rid word, "championship." Not all OHSAA representa tives are of this calibre; there are many broadmlnded and sane high school educators who feel differently. But there are enough of the former to swing legisla tion the way they want it, and until they can be overcoma by ballot this situation will remain as is. We have never had the du bious pleasure of talking with on of these purists or reform ists or whatever you want to call them, so don't know what their argument is against red-blooded, healthy and mentally stimulat ing competition of the serious type. But we do know how and why men like E. H. Hedrick, city school superintendent and Leonard B. Mayfleld, high school principal, feel about the thing. Their Ideas coincide exactly with ours. They believe that competition, and not the "pink tea" type, Is one of the greatest assets prevailing for the building of character and strong bodies among the country's youth. . They behave that it is a basie American characteristic to find out who is the best in any line of endeavor, that it is an Inherent American trait to match wits and strength for the highest honors obtainable. That's why they are complete ly opposed to the OHSAA a theory of no championships. And now, mora than ever, with this nation approaching a life or death "competition'1 with European madmen, they know tl.at what America's youth needs Is not a lessening of the spirit of rivalry, but more of it and still more. Amity, Newport Play for 'BMirid Title McMlnnvlTle, Nov. 23. (,V) The mythical state B high school football championship will be decided here Friday In a game between undefeated Amity and Newport high schools.

Gophers BIG TEN CHAMPS TOP TEXAS AGS Duke Placed Third In Week ly Poll Oregon State, 17t!i, Highest On Coast By BUI Boni New York, Nov. 25 Minnesota's Golden Gophers, unbeaten and untied and un beatable, since their season Is over ride high again today In first place in tha Associated Press football ranking poll. Winners of 17 straight games and their second successive western conference champion ship, Bernie BU-rman's boys were made first choice by 93 out of 113 sports experts throughout the country. Six teen writers ranked the Gophers second, thiee listed them in third place and one rated them fifth, for a total of 1 124 points out of a possible 1,130. With one more poll to go, Minnesota appears a good bet to retain Its 1940 No. 1 ranking when the final votes are counted next week. The Gophers' only serious rivals are two more of the country's four major all-winning teams Texas A. and M.. which still must protect that record against Tecas In Thurs day's climactic Southwest con ference engagement and against Washington State December 6. and Duke, the Southern confer ence powerhouse which, like Minnesota, has completed Its regular schedule. Irish Fourth The Aggies, given only two first-place votes to Dukes 13. got 41 votes for second and 40 (or third in accumulating 922 points. Duke was omv 10 points behind in third place. Notre Dame, unbeaten but tied by Arm. also retained the fourth position it was voted a week ago. Tha Irish got two votes for first and 778 points, on a basis of 10 for first, nine for second, eight for third, etc. Unbeaten and untied Duques na moved up a notch to fifth, changing places with Michigan. The Wolverines, though tied with Ohio State In their game last Saturday and also in the final Western conference stand ings, considerably outdistanced the Buckeyes In the poll, which gave Ohio State only 71 points and 15th place. The rest of the first 10 con sisted of Missouri, the Big Six champion, moved up from eighth; Fordham, back In the charmed circle on Its walloping of St. Mary's; Northwestern, probably the best 1941 football team that lost three games, and Texas. Outside of Texas, all of these except Fordham have fin ished their seasons. The Rams play badly battered New York U. on Saturday. Mid-West Dominates While the middle west domi nates the race with five teams among the first 10, three major football circuits are not repre sented the Southeastern con ference, which makes Its best showing with Vanderbllt in 12th olace; the Paciflo Coast confer ence. with Oregon State Its leader In 17th place, and the east's "Ivy league " with Navy In 11th place. Each of these has a chance to Improve Its standing this Saturday, when Vanderbilt, beaten only by Tu lane, meets Tennessee; Oregon State play Oregon with vie lory probably meaning a trip to the Rose bowl, and Navy, Your Place In The Sun li at V.M1-KI INN. a mttl desert inn and guttf ranch a J joining the timmii Cata Gran It National Monument ear Cool id ge, Ariaona.

AP It took the coach and tha whole first team to get that sterling character, the modest quar terback, to run, but when he did the field was full of touchdowns. The sterling character, Orville I Mathews, Oklahoma's signal master mind and fastest on the hoof in these parts, was threat ened last week with a splinter collecting job on the bench un less he called his own number. All season he submerged his own talents in a wave of mod esty, did lots of blocking and tackling, and left the headlines to his mates, although the quar terback is an Important runner in the Sooner system. But Saturday Mathews reeled off a 58-yard touchdown gallop down the middle and another 27 yarder to pay dirt at the business end of a pass against Marquette. Oklahoma won, 61 to 14. He caHed himself only four times on rushing plays but ground out 85 yards, which is not bad mileage on any kind of gasoline. He might have been running yet but a hip injury sent him limping off before the half. Coach Dewey Luster said to day that it took more than his own orders to cure the great little team player's passion for anonymity. There was, for in stance, Tackle Roger Eason, who abetted the conspiracy. Eason went around fixing Mathews with a fishy eye and growling: "Listen, little man, call yourself against Marquette or you'll be callin' for help, and I ain't kiddin'."
