Coach Simpson Pleased Over
Progress of Squad
Players Like T-Formation
Except for a dearth of ex
perienced guards and reserves
at other positions, Medford
high's football sqund, one of the
smallest numerically in many
years, is coming along nicely in
preparing for its opening game
against Weed here the night of
Sept. 22.
Coach AI Simpson has thus
far devoted most of the nightly
practice sessions to giving the
tquad of 30-39 "T" formation
plays, and expresses himself as
pleased over the way the lads
are responding. Although most
of the players work all day and
are rather tired when they re
port for the two-hour drills,
they are showing increasing en
thusiasm for the deception and
quick-hitting maneuvers embod
ied in the "T" system.
Three lettermen are likely to
be in the backficld that opens
against Weed, the mentor said.
He has Bob Watson at the ball
handling and forward-passing
quarterback spot; Marvin Doty,
an end last year, at fullback
and Jerry Clark pt right half.
All won their monograms last
season. At left half slot is (J len
Bostwick, fastest man on the
(quad.
Sophs On Squad
An alternate backfield finds
three sophomores and one lct
terman on hand. The sophs are
Ken Lindley, quarter; Earl
Etelle, left half and Nick
Greene, right half. Earl Darn'
hart is at full.
The squad Is strong at the
flanks, with Darrell Rlggs, Bill
Plaskett and Al Klrcher, letter
men, and Howard Whlllock, up
from junior high. Tackles are
Dean Sheldon, a lcttcrman, and
Lynn Bessonette, Bob Porter
and Glen Kirchcr. The guard
posts are still wide open, he
said.
At the center position Is Jim
Cave, a letterman and LeRoy
House.

New York, Sept. 12 U.R-
The National league, completely
over-shadowed recently by the
tightness of the American Cir
cuit Pennant race, took advan
tage of an off-day In the Junior
loop today to regain the stage as
the St. Louis Cardinals open a
scries with the Pitsburgh Pirates
which may clinch the pennant
for the Red Birds.
The Cards, with 85 victories
already tucked away, have
reached the point where they
need only six wins to clinch
their third straight pennant. Any
combination of that figure, so
far as the Pirates are concerned
also would nail the bunting to
the pole in Sportsman s park.
Thus, If St. Louis should win
three of its four game scries
with the Bucs In scheduled night
doubleheadcrs today and tomor
row, the Senior circuit world,
scries representative would be
settled.
If the Cards do win the pen
nant in this series. It will be the
earliest flag-clinching In a 154
game season in National league
history. The record now Is held
by the Cardinals of 1931 who

Lull In American League
Activity May Hurt Yanks
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent.
New York, Sept. 12. (U.R) Marse Joe McCarthy, although
somewhat calloused to the tension of pennant strife, must be
breathing maledictions upon American league schedule makers
who permitted the current lull before the big stretch storm.
This lull in which only one

Portland, Ore, Sept. 12 (U.R)
Coach Matty Mathews of the
Portland P,ockets will send the
same starting eleven against the
Hollywood Rangers Sunday that
dumped the Los Angeles Bull
dogs 30-7 here last week In the
first big upset of the American
Professional league.
The Rockets will be under
dogs come Sunday just as they
were when they took the field
against Los Angeles. The Rang
ers defeated the highly-touted
San Diego Marines last-week by
the lopsided score of 31-6. and
in addition, di?p!ayed a smooth
"T" formation built around
Merle Hapes, a lad who made
quite a record for himself in
the University of Mississippi
back'field a few years ago.
. Portland will depend on How
ard Manson and Jimmy Caine to
lead the attack aqainst the
southern invaders. Manson, the
former Idaho university Vandal,
showed plenty of pitching ac
curacy while Caine is already
being heralded as one of the
shiftiest backs in a league load
ed with Ail-American ball car
riers. A break In the schedule gives
the Mathewmen a full week of
rest, while unbeaten Hollywood
will meet the strong Seattle
Bombers Friday night.
