if1 PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER T, 1943 STOVES BATTLE TONIGHT VITAL IN SECTOR Loser to Drop District Pres tige High Bond Buyer to Receive Football. Physics Ily in fair condition, but of "doubtful mental atti tude," Medford high's Black Tor nado clashes with the Manh field high Pirates at the stadium tonight in a gams that packs plenty of significance in the determination of sectional champions who, at the tall end of the season, will engage in playoffs for the official Oregon high school grid diadem. The contest will start immediately following the 8:01 flag-raising ceremonies. With the state split into four districts,' and Medford and Marshfield both placed in the southern Oregon sector, the loser of tonight's battle will be virtually eliminated from title consideration. The tusle is vitally important. Visiters Untested The Pirates, undefeated last season and co-claimanta of the mythical state championship, will throw a 170-pound aggrega tion sparked by three lettermen against the Tornado. Coach Walter Commons, who with his charges arrived here last night, aid the club employs a single wing and unbalanced line on offense, without a shift and also uses a double wing occasionally. This is the first game of the season for the Pirates. Two of Marshfield's three re turning monogram winners will see action in the backfield, Moore at quarterback and Hof fine at fullback. Clark, left tackle, is the other veteran of the 1942 machine that blanked the Tornado, 13 to 0. As for the Tigers, Coach Lorn Arnold said their physi cal condition was OK but that be was worried about their mental attitude, a condition brought about by extra-curricular activities in the form of sophomore Initiation week which ended yesterday. Arnoia is afraid they haven't given enough thought to football, and will be "down" when play starts. Practice sessions the past week have been devoted mainly to polishing up the seven plays nsed in defeating Yreka, 33 to 14. last Friday: adding several new aerial maneuvers to their repertoire and laboring on pass defense. The' mentor said he hoped the latter phase had been Improved. . The same lineup which open ed against Yreka will start to night, although Doug Plumley, with a couple of ailing legs, may yield a great share of the full backing to Sophomores Jerry Clark and Darrell Biggs. Plum ley scored two touchdowns gainst Yreka, in his first game of high school football. Eureka Slated Arnold announced that Eure ka, whom the Tornado plays next Friday at Eureka, would come here for a return game October 29, thus increasing to four the number of Medford home tilts after tonight , Of special interest to fans will be the auction tonight between halves of the football to be used during the game. It will be autographed by players and coaches of both teams, and the officials, and will be presented auer tne game to the person purchasing tne largest war bond E. C. Jerome will act as auc tioneer and the school's History- tconomics civics association which sold $1,900 worth of war bonds yesterday, will handle the football bond sale at the north end of the grandstand, Also to be auctioned off at halftime are two pair of re served seat season tickets for the remaining Tornado home games.

Portland. Ore, Oct. 1 OJJtilt's evident from the flippant, way the Pacific Coast conference schools shrugged off their football responsibilities that nobody gave a thought to the true consequences of that heartless act. It s all very well to smile over i the blow to glorious tradition, even to grin a little over the unemployment problem con fronting graduate managers. But what about homecoming? You have to have a homecom ing day game. You can't get the eld grad back just to eat a free meal, to meet some of the pledges and maybe pay a little on that back bouse bill. The great institution of higher edu cation has been attacked at the soft underbelly. Let the million-dollar stadia crumble from disuse, loin the Parthenon and Colosseum and other ruins of antiquity. They are but the externals of culture and civilization. The very soul of modern learning dwells in the homecoming day celebration. With all respect to wartime limitations, that game must be played. And it's up to the old grads to play it. It may have to be an oral contest, the op posing teams composed of mem bers of the armchair quarter backs clubs football's stauneh est friends and severest critics. This struggle of vocal gladia tors will be staged in the big gest hall on the campus, and members of debate teams will act as head linesman, referee and field judge. Eligibility rules J will be simple, the squads lim ited to pre-Versailles fathers. Strict training will be en forced. There's to be no drink ing, at least after the game, and any team guilty of drunken hollering will be penalized 15 yards. ThereH be a limit on replacements for hoarseness. Space will be set aside in the auditorium for rooter sections, and they will give their yells in deai-and-dumb language so not to interfere with the plays. More than the school's honor will be at stake. This contest will determine, officially, wheth er those old grads can really talk as good a game as they used to play. Then, after the game, the victorious side can rush out of the auditorium, down to the week-encumbered football field and tear down the goal posts. ANGOTT SIGNS TO I WITH IRE Detroit, Oct 1 (U.B Sammy Angott, No. 1 contender for the light-weight boxing title, an nounced today through his man ager, Charles Jones, that he had accepted an offer of $13,000 to meet Luther (Slugger) White of Los Angeles there October 18.

All four Southern Oregon con ference football teams will swing into action on their home fields tonight against non-conference opponents, and three of them will be trying to protect unde feated and untied records. Klamath high's gigantic Peli cans, who hold victories over Ashland and Grant high of Port land, will play host to the Salem high Vikings. Grants Pass, conqueror of North Bend last week, will face the Bend high Lava Bears, who are also unbeaten.
