Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Tornado To Use" "T" Formation; ' Coach Convinced Ten days ago Al Simpson, head coach-elect of Medford high school, was undecided as to the offensive system the Black, Tor nado gridiron machine would employ next autumn. Ho leaned strongly toward the "Y," which he installed with much i uccess at Ashland last sea son, but because of certain weak nesses In that method of attack, notably at the flanks, his mind was net made up. He wanted a system with more flexibility and versatility. That system he found last week at Utah State college at Logan, where he attended the football coaching school conduct ed by Clark Shaughnessy, head mentor at the University of Pitts burgh and the nation's number one disciple of the "T" forma tion. Medford, next season, will pour the "T" at its eight (maybe nine) football foes. "We will definitely use the "T" the new coach said. "I had always liked lt and want ed to use it, but until having it thoroughly explained and analysed by Shaughnessy I was afraid to take a chance be cause of my lack of knowl edge concerning the blocking assignments and intricaiies of the backfield maneuvers. "After hearing Shaughnessy lecture and diagram plays for 16 hours, howaver, I am con vlncad I learned enough to give lt to the boys and make it work." Simpson is rightfully very en thusiastic over the "T," for Shaughnpssy Is a masterful lec turer who makes every point crystal clear. Even this writer. who attended the classes, be lieves he now knows a tiny bit about the system. And, Shaugh nessy Is so sold on the thing it Is a religion with him. His in tense feeling couldn't help but sway all who attended his clinic. Simpson plans to not entirely scrap the "Y," which can gener ate a tremendous amount of straight-ahead power. He will use lt on occasions. But, It can be assured, the Tornado will be at least 99 and ninety-nine one- lC" WAR LOAN and buy I'M?' I OLD SUNNYBROOK fj BRASD f.

As a matter of fact, about the only differences in the two systems are that the "Y" Is run from an unbalanced line, while the "T" line is balanced, and that In the "Y" the fullback is about two yards closer to the quarter back. Both systems are built around the quarterback handling the ball directly from center and . man being in motion. A few of the some 70 coaches attending the school were of the opinion that the "T" is a little too intricate and "deep" for high school youths to learn. But not Simpson. He is confident the Medford play ers can, and will, pick it up. end cites Grant high of Port land, last season's state cham pion, as proof it can be played by prep teams. Grant, of course, was a "T" team. The new Medford mentor, along with all others at the school, learned plenty about basketball from William H. (Little Bill) Miller, famous cage coach whose teams have won some dozen national titles I in prep, college and AAU circles. Miller stressed that passing and defense were the two most im portant things in playing cham- rjionshln basketball, and advo cated the one-handed pass as the basic attacking maneuver. Miller Is perhaps most famous for his system of scientific body control through relaxation, which he taught to the Cincin nati Reds ($100 a day for 35 days), Oklahoma U. basketball team and the Tulsa university football team. His system, which Includes breathing, stretching, and such things as a "Rhumba" exercise, will be taught Medford high nthletcs and those at Junior high, where Les Grant, who also attended the school, will be sta tioned next year. a Probably the most athletically-famous person at the school was "Cat" Thompson, all-time ail-American basket ball player who performed for the Montana State Bobcats in the late 1920's. Thompson, now cage mentor at Idaho Falls high school, was high in his praise of Miller's theory of relaxation under pressure, though some of the letter's ac tual basketball teachings met his questioning eye. Also In attendance was Geofgc Arabian, blocking back at St. Mary's college from 1938 to 1941, who Is a boatswain's mate, first class at the Alameda, (Cnlif.,) Coast Guard Station. There, he is backfield and as sistant coach of the "Sea Lions," and head basketball tutor. His grid team the past season won five, lost two and tied one and his cage outfit, with All-American Jim Pollard, was ranked seventh In the nation among the service teams. He palled around with the local delegation. Mel Johnson, mentor at Springfield high, was the only Orccon coach attending the school besides Simpson, Grant and Claude Cook of Bend.

LITWHILER DENIES St. Louis, June 13 (U,fi) Out fielder Danny Lltwhller of the St. Louis Cardinals said today he could not understand how re ports that he was seeking a navy commission got around, particu larly in view jt a recent 2-A clas sification given him by his draft board at Philadelphia. Litwhiler was accepted by the navy last April but was reclassi fied as an essential industry em ploye by the board which said he was engaged in work "con tributing to the public welfare, health and interest."

We feel S. P. men are. We know every single one of these S.

S. P. misses those 15,000 people-misses them badly now that we are facing the greatest transportation problems in railroad history.

Denman returned to Medford Sunday from Portland where he attend ed the meeting of the state game commission at which tentative dates were set for the 1944 hunting seasons. The dales are subject to revision at a meeting June 24.

Quail Same open season as pheasants, with not more than 10 birds in possession at any one time.' Denman said the commission decided to stop the killing of doe deer in Klamath and Lake counties for one year after hear ing many complaints that mule deer herds are threatened with extinction. Last year, he said, hunters reported bagging 3889 does. The buck deer season will be from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, both dates inclusive.
