Breadon Spikes Rumors Of
Disapproval With Card Boss

By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York. 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;

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

hundred that don't. ,

season started. The offense has
averaged' better than five 'yards

Although he is able to relax
his boys, he does a little worry
ing on his own about each foot
ball game and believes that the
assignment against Ohio State's
well-drilled youngsters at Cleve

est yet.
