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

upcoming struggle for the dis

which, Incidentally gets under
way next Friday night when the
Grants Pass Cavemen meet the
Ashland Grizzlies at Ashland.

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

Texas A. and M.'s was 36.6 and

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.
