BIX MEDrOBO MAIL THIBUrTE Thursday. Wot. SO. 1844 FOOTBALL TEAMS ARRIVE IN NORTH FOR TITLE GAME Portland, Ore., Nov. 30 U.R) The two hottest prep school gridiron outfits in Oregon ar rived in Portland today for a couple of warm-up workouts on Multnomah stadium turf In preparation for their struggle on that field Saturday for the State football championship. The Medford Black Tornados cam in by train and the La Grande Tigers by bus, but though their method of travel was different, their objective was the same to come off the gridiron Saturday with the Ore gon high school title. Prospects were for a healthy fixed crowd and consequently, gate for the state classic. In addition to a steady sale to Portland fans, a heavy request for tickets has been coming in from such rabid football towns ' as Gresham, Newberg, Tigard, Beaverton, Milwaukee and Van couver, Wash. ' On their records, it looks like close contest between the teml-finallsU from the eastern and southern sections of the state. Medford, in an eight gam schedule, totaled 237 points, an average of 29.82 a game. La Grande, in 10 games, totaled 248 points, a game aver age of 26.8. La Grande in its 10 games yielded its opponents a niggardly total of 44 points, or a game average of 4.4 polns, contrasted to Medford's 39-point concession for a game average of 4.91. ' This Is the fifth time a Med ford high school football team has Invaded Portland. In 1824 the Tornado defeated' Grant 84 to 6 and In 1928 won from Ben son 89 to 0. Both teams were coached by Prink Callison. . In 1933 Medford played a 8 to 6 tie with Jefferson, the team coached by Darwin Burgh er, and Bill Bowerman's team absorbed a 33 to 0 beating from Washington in 1937. John A. Stromberg, Ashland high coach, resigned Tuesday ae nntor of the" Grizzlies and John Roberts, who has been in charge of the athletic program at Junior high school this year, will take over the high school petition. Stromberg came to Ashland late last summer from Minne sota. His 1944 Ashland football team lost six, tied one and won one. No announcement of his plans was made.

OF PACIFIC ISLES TO FALL ON 11. S. The task of guiding and en forcing future policies of the Pacific basin nations and islands will fall larffelv An thia enuntrv. whether we desire it or not, and therefore we should evolve a positive' Pacific policy as early as possible according to C. Hart ley Grattan who spoke last night at the high school auditorium on Australia, New Zealand and the Islands of the South Pacific. Grattan, on the editorial-staff of Harper's Weekly, gave the third of a series of lectures be ing sponsored by the Medford Rotary club. While British Influence has dominated, although not actual ly dictated, policies of Australia and New Zealand in the past, this is gradually declining, Grat tan believes and he suited last night that probably the condi tion would gradually reverse and the dominions would domi nate British policies more and more in future years. We should not attempt to handle the post war Pacific situation alone, but should - invite and use the aid and cooperation of the other na tions, Grattan declared. ' Australia, New Zealand and the United States will all have similar desires for peace and political development, Grattan stated, but said' the question would be whether the countries' economic relations would sup port the peace effort In all re spects. Economic ties with Great Britain are very strong, he pointed out, and declared that since neither Australia or New Zealand produced anything greatly desired by this nation as imports, both countries would have trouble in establishing credit to buy of us. The Melaneslan islands north of Australia may assume great Importance later . because - of their mineral deposits, Grattan declared, and discussing the fu ture of the lands settled by the brown races said "if any nation is boneheaded enough to try to exploit these peoples for pure economic gain without any con sideration to the natives' wel fare, trouble will surely result.' Every nation is dependent upon the general welfare of the en tire world, Grattan declared, and stated that this must never be forgotten when evaluating world economic forces. Grattan reviewed briefly the political history, population, ag ricultural and industrial de velopment of South Pacific na tions and islands and following the lecture answered a number of questions from the audience on these points and on the po litical and economic future of Pacific countries. Dr. E. S. Philips introduced the speaker and announced the fourth and last speaker of the series which will be Miss Geral dtne T. Fitch talking on "The New China in the New Pacific" December 6.
