PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Ilulen Says: Wristwatch Given Bill Bowerman By Appreciative Fans Bill Bowerman, when he ftepped on a northbound train Sunday for Ft. Law ton Seattle, to become actively engaged as first lieutenant In helping the United State army lick the socks off Japan, Germany and Italy, took with him a little token expressing the apprecia tion of some 80 local iporti fans for the fine Job he turned In during his seven years as head football and track coach at Med ford high. This "little token" was noth ing less than a beautiful Longlnes wrist watch, purchased with con tributions made by the many Medford citizens who wanted to let Bill know, In a tanglole way, how much they thought of him and his grand work with the city's youth Not only in coach ing them to numerous football and track championships, but also in developing In them the qualities of sportsmanship and character. No organisation or club of any kind sponsored the cam paign to purchase a farewall gift for tha Medford coach. It was simply a spontaneous gesture on the part of Indi vidual parsons, one of whom got the Idea and merely let it be known he was receiving donations for such a present. Immediately, the dollars and four-bit pieces started to accu mulate, sans any manner of sales talk. Pretty soon over 80 gents ad made their contributions, the wrist watch was purchased and presented to Bowerman the night before he left. . So, whenever Bill seeks the time of dav as he coea about be ing a soldier in Uncle Samuel's i armed forces, he will be re minded of the many friends he baa In Medford. And those friends won't soon foiget Bill Bowerman. either. Something happened In Grants Pass Friday nlijht to throw an entirely different light on the upcoming struggle for the dis trict 4 basketball championship which, Incidentally gets under way next Friday night when the Grants Pass Cavemen meet the Ashland Grizzlies at Ashland. That something was the start- ART WINETROUT Your FORD Dealer r.T '. - ' REPAIR YOUR CAR On Our Easy Pay Plan-Tires and Accessories Included Repairs and Parts All Makes CRATER ling, almost Incredible, 32 to 21 victory the Cavemen scored over the big, Klamath Falls Pelicans in a non-district tussle. It was Grants Pass' first win over the Klamath's In the past four years. Because of their showing in the pre-season jamboree here December 19, the Cavemen weren't tabbed as one of the favorites to capture the district title. Now, however, things have changed. la defeating Klamath Falls by such a substantial margin as 11 points, which proves the thing wasn't fluke, the Cave men must be accorded at least the status oi district "dark horse." Klamath Falls, remember, looked very terrific In that same lamboree. The Bigbills slapped down Roseburg Ashland, Med ford and Grants Pass and ap peared by far the best club on the floor. At the same time, Grants Pass displayed only medi ocre talent. Now that Grants Pass has turned around and upset Klam ath, and decisively, we would suggest the district's other three quints Ashland, Roseburg and Medford don't take the Climate City lads too lightly. Rather overlooked in the Ore. quest of Duke was the stupend ous punting of the Beavers' Don Durdan and the Blue Devils' Steve Lach. This pair turned in booting performances 10 miles ahead of kickers in any of the other "bowl" games. Durdan's average per punt was a remarkable 47.S yards. while that of Lach was 48.4. When have you ever heard of better punting than thatt In the Sugar bowl, Missouri's punting average was 36 yards and Fordham s was 34. In the Orange bowl Texas Christian's was 38 9 and Georgia's was 19.2. Texas A. and M.'s was 36.6 and Alabama's was 36 3 in the Cot ton bowl, and In the Sun bowl Tulsa averaged 37 yards and Texas Tech 43. Welfer Champ Agrees To Fight for Charily New York, Jan. 6.

WINETROUT'S NEW BUDGET SYSTEM Pay. As You Ride! NO NEW CARS LAKE MOTORS THAN PACT BRAND Body Contact Harder Now adays, Says Walt Okeson, Long-Time Rule Maker. By Robert Myers Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 6 (AP) Harking back over nearly SO years of college football, the gentleman from Lehigh univer sity observed that If old-timers thought the game was rough, they ought to play it today. Surprised at that? So were several of Rulemaker Walter Okeson's listeners, who always associated the so-called good old days with the flying wedge and massed offense, shin guards, han dlebar mustaches and a hospital. "It was a hard game in those days," said the astute Okeson, present chairman and a member for 20 years of the notional col legiate football rules committee, In session here. The group ex pects to conclude its meeting to night. "But in those days," he con tinued, "the man carrying the ball seldom ran more than two yards before he made contact with the opposing team. He had no blockers his teammates were all behind him, pushing. Seldom Hurt "And contrary to general opin ion, a man seldom was hurt in i the pileups, where there might be as many as all 22 players. Moleskin vests ar.d heavy pants protected the player against slug ging or kicking if an adversary were able to move a muscle in the tangle. "Today a ball carrier may get up full steam, and usually does, before making contact. He gets hit in the open far more than before. He has men clearing the path in front of him, and that contact comes at full speed." The rules committee chairman said it was amazing that critical injuries and fatalities these days are negligible compared with yesterday's casualties. He at tributed this to light, improved equipment and better developed athletes, trained in body co-ordination. There was not a single college football fatality last season. Oke son recalled that one year along about 190S, there were 32 deaths, and where there was one college team playing then, there are 100 today. 4 ANGELS, STARS Los Angeles, Jan. 6. (AP) The Hollywood and Los Angeles baseball clubs have contributed two players each to the army or navy and expect to lose few ad ditional men by conscription. Southpaw Frankle Touro, an Angel relief pitcher last season, has entered the army, and catch er Bill Brenner has Joined the army air corps. Pitcher Quentin Thompson, fo.tner Stanford athlete whom the Stars planned to recall from Vancouver, has enlisted in the navy. Freddy Cochrane, out fielder, has been Inducted into the army.

Promoter Mike Jacobs wouldn't be at all surprised if the Garden bulges its walls housing some 20.000 customers for this tea party. Right now he's shooting at a gate of more than S200 000. Of this, the navy relief fund will be the big winner. Mike and Joe are giving their shares, and Buddy who figures to need a little ready cash for Arnica and sorted liniments after It's over, is turning in a good chunk of his cut.
