Br Robert Meyer United Press Correspondent Chicago, Oct. 20 (U.R) The navy caused a drastic juggling of several mldwestern football rosters today by ordering 16 ath letes from three universities to report next week at other schools offering naval aviation training courses. Football observers wondered whether.thls long-expected shift of navy" trainees could be the "handwriting on the wall" for some of the wonder teams that opened the season well-fortified with navy and marine talent. While adhering to the govern ment's policy - of "sports as i usual," the navy has made it clear from the start that its re serve students would be subject to call at any time. Today's order plucked the hard-hitting Vic Schwall from Northwestern's backfield and gave him to the eleven coached by Ray "Gaumy" Neal at Depauw University, Greencastle Ind., a V-8 preflight training school.

Medford defeated Marshfleld early In the season, 14 to 0, and Grants Pass downed the same team, 13 to 0. Coach -Lome Arnold said that Dale Niedermeyer, regular right halfback who suffered bruised hip and side muscles in the first period of the Klamath game, was a doubtful starter against Grants Pass. The Injury, while not serious, will take time to heal. In case Niedermeyer doesn't Dlav. Bob Watson will be shifted from quarterback to right half and Jack Baker and Jerry Clark will operate at the blocking back position. Although taking the Pelican setback pretty hard, the Tigers have buckled down to tough scrimmage sessions this week and appear ready to stage a comeback, the mentor said. The Cavemen, who had won three straight games before los ing to Ashland, 20 to 13 last week, have a light but fast and tricky backfield behind a fine, heavy forward wall. They fea ture a strong running and pass ing attack. ' Tonight at 7:30 at the local stadium the Medford and Ash land sophomore teams will col lide, and several sophomore members of the Tornado's var sity squad will see action.

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, McCarthy Surprised, Sorry Gordon Plans To Quit Game By Carl LundquUt United Press Staff Correspondent New York. Oct. 20 (U.R) Manager Joe McCarthy of tha New York Yankees, was faced today with the loss of Joe Gordon and possibly Bill Dickey from the team which brought him his seventh world championship in 1943. wnen uoraon stunned the baseball world from Eugene, Ore., yesterday by announcing that he was quitting the game because he was "Just tired of it," he caught the Yankee front of fice and McCarthy as much by surprise as he did everyone else. 'This is the first we've heard about it," one official said. "He certainly won't make as much money out on the coast as he would with us. He never even Intimated during the . world series that he was planning to' leave the Yankees." McCarthy, informed of Gor don's action at his home in Buf falo, said that he was "surprised ana sorry. "Joe is a truly great second baseman and it goes without say ing that we certainly will miss him," he said. "He has been a mighty fine ball player with us for the past six years and I would hate to see him sten out just when he is in his prime." raci-artny baa no comment on whom he might secure to re place Gordon or Dickey, if the ageless catcher goes through with his plans to join the civil air patrol at his home in Little Rock, Ark. Other members of the cham pionship team may leave during tne off-season, as in 1942 when Phil Rizzuto, Red Rolfe, Charley Ruffing, Buddy Hassett, George Selkirk and Joe DiMaggio de parted, but McCarthy, the ma gician In the baseball uniform, will manage somehow. He did it this year with refugee Nick Etten from the futile Philadelphia Phillies on first base, Frank Crosetti, a re juvenated veteran on short, Billy Johnson, as green as any rookie in the big leagues on third, and John Lindell, a faulty pitcher and Roy Weatherly, Cleveland Indian castoff in the outfield. LOS ANGELES BOY New York. Octr 20 U.R Glenn W. Davis, Army's newest contribution to football stardom is little, but so Is a jeep. The plebe from Los Angeles is only 19 and strictly speaking only a substitute, but that hasn't stopped folks from comparing him to Chris (Red) Cagle, the Army back of 13 years ago. The gridiron footlights began to shine on him when he stepped into the shoes of chronically In jured Doug Kenna, a pre-season candidate as the top back of tho year. So far Kenna hasn't played and Davis in four games has rolled up 42 of Army's 171 points and Is co-leader among eastern individual scorers with Howard Blose of Cornell.

Baugh has found himself part of an offensive system that takes full advantage of the tal ents of Wilbur More, former University of Minnesota star. The development of the new passing combination was spot lighted by the latest statistics which show Moore in the lead of National Football league pass receivers. In recent seasons the pro cir cuit's most famous aerial duo has been the Cecil Isbell to Don Hutson combination. That was broken up when Isbell retired to take a coaching job. Hutson, meanwhile, has been unable to flash his usual brilliance while counted with new passers. That left the door to passing lame wide open, so Baugh and Moore walked in.- , Moore has snagged 12 passes in two games for an aggregate Kain of 200 yards. Tne KeosKin star caught seven of the passes Sunday aeainst Green Bay to outshine Hutson by a wide mar gin. Moore has raced for touch downs with four of his catches. .Ill TO GO ON STAGE IMonf VnrW ftp. 20 (U.R)- Q 1 n A m r nlmnnA-Aved Marva Louii wife of the heavyweight champion will go on the stage In December, Decause sne ana Sergeant Joe need cash.
