Russ Acheson Leaves Medford High for Pilot's Training Course
ATHLETIC COACH
GOES TO KLAMATH
FOR INSTRUCTION
No Successor Yet Named
For Football, Track, Cage
Mentor Has Fine Record
J. Russell Acheson, head foot
ball, basketball and track coach
at Medford senior high school,
left for Klamath Falls this
morning to embark on a seven
month s citizens' pilot training
course simultaneous to being
inducted into the U. S. army air
corps reserve.
Acheson said he would be
stationed In Klamath Falls for
four months taking a course In
primary and secondary flight
training, plus 480 hours of
ground training, after which he
would be transferred to some
C.P.T. school in the northwest
for a three-months course in
cross-country and Instructors'
flight.
Following successful comple-
i jn of the entire course, he will
be transferred to the ferry com
mand or will serve as an in
structor for army air cadets or
citizen instructors, he explained.
The popular Medford athletic
coach took his final examina
tion for the C.P.T. course in
Klamath Falls last Saturday,
and Tuesday night was notified
of his acceptance in a telegram
received from J. C. Stovall, co
ordinator for the University of
Oregon's C.P.T. school at Klam
ath Falls.
Who will succeed Acheson as
head coach of three of Medford
high's four major sports was not
known at this time, and prob
ably won t be In the Immediate
future. E. H. Hedrlck, city
school superintendent, said he
had nobody In mind, and had
made no plans to acquire a man
or men for the football, basket
ball and track coaching posts
Alex McDonald Is head baseball
tutor.
Mayfield Mentioned
With the war developing an
acute shortage of athletic
coaches, it was understood there
was a possibility that Leonard
B. Mayfield, principal, might be
drafted for one or more of the
coaching positions. Mayfield has
had considerable experience
along thesr lines at Grants Pass
and Oregon City high schools,
where his teams made f ino rec
ords. Acheson is the second Med
ford high coach to leave in less
than one year. Lieutenant Bill
Bowerman, athletic and recrea
tion officer at Fort Lawlon,
Seattle, was called into active
service shortly after the football
season last fall, and Acheson
was elevated to the head foot
ball and truck coaching tobs.
He never had a chance to take
over the gridiron reins, of course
but his first fling at teaching
trick resulted in the Tigers win
nlng the state championship last
spring.
In his four years as head bas
ketball coach his teams twice
won the district crown and en
tered the state tournament. The
Tigers reached the finals in 1930
where they were beaten by
Salem, and won sixth place in
1042. Acheson also coached base
bill in 1040, his club winning
1 1 out of 12 games.
A graduate of Portland's
Wshlngton high school and of
Oregon State college, Acheson
came here in the full of 1933 to
couch all athletics at Junior hiRh
rchnol. Both of his Junior high
basketball teams and buth his
prld elevens Raptured the South
ern Oregon Junior Hlg.i confer
ence rhumpionshin, his 103U
ragcrs being undefeated and his
football tennis losing only one
game in two y -s.
Promoted l.i 1937
In the fnll of lr"7 he was pro
moted to the senior high school
h Howcrman's assistant in foot
ball and ti-ac-k. and ;i year 'ater
was given the head basketball
coaching position. Then, follow
ing Bowerman s call to artlve
duty, he was elevated to head
coach in track and football
Acheson recently returned
from taking a five-weeks t.-ach-
irs training course in civil aero-
nautlcs at the University of Ore- :
Ron in preparation ior teaching
this subject at high school the
coming year.
Acheson vas accompanied to
Klamath Falls by his wife and
their young son. Kenneth Ray.

FOXX: NOVIKOFF
PAN THIN SUITS
Boston, July 23 OP) Jimmy
Foxx, who frightened many a
pitcher by throwing out his
chest and flexing his mighty
biceps as he stepped to the plate,
has yet to intimidate any of the
National league hurlers.
"It's this monkey suit," Dou-
ble-X complained, referring to
the Chicago Cubs' sleeveless
uniforms that has been com
pared unfavorably with a gay
BO's bathing suit. "The fabric
Is so thin that I feel like a
skinned rabbit in it."
Foxx is only one of the Cubs
who dislike their regalia. Lou
Novikoff, who has been murder
ing the ball of late, is certain
that the Cubs would be well up
in the first division if they wore
regulation spangles.
"All of us look thinner than
Ted Williams in these outfits."
Novikof said. "No wonder we're
in sixth place. We appear so
skinny and weak to the other
clubs that they convince them
selves they can blow us' down."

He didn't win or lose a game
this week, but big Paul Gehr

Pat Abbott Major Casualty
In Tarn O'Shanter Tourney
By Gayla Talbot
Chicago, July 23 (P) Without much doubt the most con
fused golf tournament in history, the Tarn O'Shanfer open and
amateur, unlimited, proceeded today into its fourth or com
pletely unintelligible stage the one Just before they bring out
the padded wagon and say, "Take it easy, pal, sure you're
Napoleon."
On today's program, as some-
one explained it, was the first
18 holes of the Tarn O'Shanter
$19,000 medal play open. Also
scheduled were two rounds of
match play in the ail-American
amateur championship, these
being the third and fourth
rounds of this particular cham
pionship. The man who explain
ed this disappeared before his
name was obtained, but his ver
sion may be taken as fairly au
thentic.
George S. May, president of
Tarn O'Shanter club and the
man who thought up all the
strange events that have been
taking place on his acreage this
week, said that was his general
understanding of the situation,
too. He would 'not. however.

Today, 136 professionals be
gan battling for $2,500 first
money in the 72-hole open cham
pionship. The 16 surviving ama
teurs from yesterday's shambles

rounds, while at the same time
competing in the open. All of
the amateurs who were elim
mated yesterday 4B of 'em-
continued to compete in the
open, boyoboy!
Pat Abbott was the only ma
jor casualty among the ama
teurs. He was knocked out by
Gus Novotny of Chicago. The
other top-drawer players came
through on schedule, and sev
oral fine mutches were on tap
today. Corp. Marvin Bud Ward,

RED SOX. TIGERS
TAKE 11 IN
Champs Boost LeLad To 12
Games With 5-1 Win Over
Tribe Dodgers Win.
By Judson Bailer
Associater Press Sports Writer
All the people who for weeks
devoted themselves industriously
to trying to solve the slump of
the New York Yankees probably
are busy now figuring out rea
sons for the sliding of the Bos
ton Red Sox and the Detroit
Tigers.
This is a thankless task, but
nevertheless a form of endeavor
in which there never is any un
employment. Somebody always
b in a slump and right now
both the Red Sox and the Tigers
have it bad. Boston has lost four
in a row and nine of its last 11
games, while Detroit has drop
ped 11 out of 14 and has fallen
from the first division.
The Red Sox were shut out 2-0
yesterday by Lee (Bucl.) Ross of
the Chicago White Sox, although
they made the magnificent total
of five hits, one more than Chi
cago collected off Broadway
Charley Wagner.
The Tigers were tamed, 2-1, by
the Washington Senators on the
five-hit hurling of Sid Hudson.
Meanwhile the New York
Yankees squeezed to their 11th
consecutive victory and extended
their American league lead to 12
full games by blasting across
four unearned runs in the tenth
inning to beat the Cleveland In
dians, 5-1.
Jo Stopped
Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak
was stopped at 18 games by Lefty
Al Milnar, but Rollie Hemsley
made four hits, including two
doubles, and Charley Keller hit
his 12th home run. This was the
Yanks' only score till the over
time chapter.
The St. Louis Browns blew a
6-0 lead attained in the first four
frames and lost an 11-8 decision
to the Philadelphia Athletics.
Sparked by Chet Laabs' 18th cir
cuit clout, the Brownies scored
five runs in the fourth.
In the National league, the
Brooklyn Dodgers disposed of
the Cincinnati Reds without
trouble, 5-1, with Kirby Higbe
pitching five-hit ball and he and
his teammates tagging Ray Starr
and Gene Thompson for twice
that many.
This kept the Dodgers six and
a half games ahead of the St
Louis Cardinals, who slammed
out a 7-0 victory over the Phila
delphia Phils, who were unable
to score on ten hits off Johnny
Beazley.
The Chicago Cubs evened their
score with the Boston Braves in
the day's other game as Claude
Passeau pitched a masterful two
hitter for a 2-1 verdict. It was
Passeau s 14th triumph of the
year.

Rainiers Whip Bevos

10 Hits Off Ad Liska

If the Seattle Rainiers were
not playing the weak and help
less Portland Beavers, Rainier
fans might be encouraged by the
rise from fifth to third place
the Rainiers have made this
week.
Pitted against a stronger
team, however, the Rainiers
might not have done so well and
fans are not yet conjuring vis
ions of another late season rally
such as marked the Rainiers'
drive to the Pacific Coast base
ball league title.
Newly established in third
place, the Rainiers won their
sfecond straight game from Port
land, 4 to 2, last night but the
victory was costly, for Catcher
Bob Collins suffered a broken
finger in attempting to handle
a foul tip.
The Rainiers combed Ad Lis
ka, usually baffling to Seattle
batsmen, for 10 hits while Larry
Guay yielded six safeties.

to expect anything of the San

notorious in-and-out clubs.
