Oct. 13 -flJ.PJThe wolves may continue to howl for Billy Southworth'f scalp; but Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, said today: "Southworth is a hundred per 1 cent with me. Anything he or I Klamath To Outweigh Locals Less Than Four Pounds Per Man Backs Even. Beause of two shifts Coach Lome Arnold has made in the forward wall, Medford high's Black Tornado will face Klam ath Falls next Friday night on Modoc field with less than a four-pound man weight disad vantage according to the pub' llshed player-weights of the con tending elevens. With 180-pound Jack Baker moving into one guard post ana 184-pound Ray Casebeer taking over a tackle position, the Tor nado will be able to send a 179 pound line against the big Pell cans, whose forwards average 185.1 Dound per man. Medford will have a slim weight advantage in the back- field. 163.5 to 183. The team avenge will be Klamath Falls, 177; Medford, 173.4. Line Heavier With Baker and Casebeer opening the game, the line will average -eight pounds more man it would if Myron Corcoran, 147 and Jim Lynch, 163 held down their regular guard positions. In order to build up the weight in the line to offer a stiffer bar rier to Hank Schortgen, Klam ath's pile-driving fullback, Arn old has moved Baker ana uase- beer into the starting lineup and shifted Bill Plaskett, 180, right tackle, to a guard berth. Case beer will hold down Plaskett's tackle spot. From what Klamath has showed thus far In running up 140 points in four games, the main defensive task of the Tigers will be in stopping Schortgen, 187 pounds of straight ahead power. However, Elwyn Sllva, 170, left half and Bud Petersteiner, 157, right half, have shown themselves capable of running the ends and off tackle In dangerous fashion. Both are nearly as fast as Med ford' Steve Dlppel, who will probably be the fastest man on the field. The Tornado is spending the practice week on downfield blocking and polishing up offen sive maneuvers, some of which have not yet been displayed. The sophomore team I plays the Grants Pass sophs at Grants Pass tonight, and Coach Arnold is sending some of his varsity, squad sophomores along In or der that they may get some needed experience. Seats Set Aside Principal Leonard B. Mayfleld said today that a section of gen eral admission seats had been set aside for Medford fans and would be held until game time. He said his request for a block of reserved seats had not been complied with and that local fans would have to" purchase their ducats at the gate. May field said he had been assured by Klamath officials that there would be plenty of seats for Medforites in the special section. the Cardinals did in the world series has not changed my high regard for Billy." Over the phone from St Louis, Breadon branded pub lished reports that he and South- worth were on the "outs" as un true. "There has been no change in our relations ha said Breadon admitted that he and Southworth were "terribly dis appointed" at the Cardinals loss of the series to the Yankees, four games to one. We asked Breadon: "Did you uphold Southworth in his curt treatment of newspa per men in the dressing room after the fourth game of the series?" At the time, Southworth was quoted as snapping at re porters, "Ask your questions in a hurry and then get the hell out of here. Breadon side-slipped this ques tion and countered: 'Billy was sore as a boll after the game. He had expected to win the series, and he felt it slipping away from him. If he was a fellow who didn't, take that fourth-game defeat pretty hard, I wouldn t think much of him." In conclusion, Breadon said Southworth signed a one-year manager's contract In Septem ber, and "he's certainly okay for another year at least, if we have baseball In 1944." We admire Breadon's reac tion to Southworth's display of temper. Naturally we do not approve of anyone "giving the business" to newspaper men when they are doing their job. as those boys were in the dress ing room. But, in this instance, the extenuating circumstances, certainly minimized his offense. Moreover. Billy s words were more beneficial to baseball than if he had smiled philosophically and given off a namby-pamby statement like: 'Well boys all I can say is that the better team won today." Southworth displayed his an ger at other times in the series; and we don't think the public blames him. He saw his Cardi nals, getting better pitching than expected, kick away game after game with 10 errors and 37 men left on base. Since Pearl Harbor, the pub lic's psychology has changed. No longer does it respect a good loser. Personally, we've never admired a so-called good loser. In our book, competitors who accept defeat with a smile, eith er lack fighting heart, or are hypocrites; G.O.P.

USC WON'T POUR Br Glen Perkins United Press Staff Correspondent New York. Oct. 13 U.R) His boys are laughing their way through one of the toughest foot ball schedules in the country, but the way they are winning football games is no Joke. He swears they are playing football "just for the fun of It it's a game, isn't it?" but suc cessive victories over Great Lakes, Marquette, Illinois and Wisconsin are real accomplish ments, so meet the United Press coach of the week: Elmer Burnham, the ever- grinning head man of the unde feated Purdue Boilermakers. On Monday afternoon when coaches over the land are ham mering on the mistakes of the previous week end, Burnham's boys don't even put on helmets, shoulder or hip pads. The backs suddenly become linemen, the linemen become ball carriers and for an hour the stadium walls echo with the laughter and hilarity of a tough football game. Commands Respect These boys are playing foot ball for fun all the time and that is the way it should be played," Burnham said. "We don't take ourselves or anyone else seriously." In spite of the levity. Burn ham commands the respect of every player and Purdue's suc cess thus far can be attributed largely to the team's alertness to fundamentals and basic plays. He is a stickler for perfection and would rather have half a dozen plays that click than a hundred that don't. , He Installed the T formation. but went at it cautiously because of-1 the Influx of new players through1 the navy and marine training programs, but' the play ers caught .on by the time the season started. The offense has averaged' better than five 'yards per try on running plays.

Navy's Hal Hamberg Favorite With Girl Welders; Leads Team New York, Oct. 13 (U.R) The girls back In his home town of Lonoke, Ark., won't like it, but Hal Hamberg, Navy's little passing and running stylist, is the current darling of Balti more's lady welders. Without a major football team, Baltimore In general and par ticularly its big contingent of feminine war workers has adopt ed Navy's undefeated "hit and run" kids, who have won two of their three games this season in the city's Municipal stadium. And they like' little Hal and his buggy whip passing best of all. Hambert, as long as he keeps his health and his 145 pounds Intact, will be strictly in the menace category to every Navy opponent, because when the op posing defense goes after him, any one of eight other backs let go with long runs, forwards, laterals or booming quick-kicks. Army's board of strategy, openly concerned because it was Hamberg who sparked the Navy to its 14-0 upset victory last year, publicly touts Navy's pres ent eleven as the best In its his tory. Maj. Andy Gustafson, army backfield coach, who scouted Navy in its 14-13 victory over Duke at Baltimore last Saturday night, praised Hamberg's passing and running and added that he was only one of a remarkable array of backs. turned to her home here October 7. after spending four days with ha. un Hmnrd. who W&S patient of the Hillside hos pital there, following an appen dectomy, performed September 30.
