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.
Roberts made a marvelous
record as Junior high football
coach in the few months he held
that Job.

San Francisco, Nov. 30 (U.R)
-vMore than 150 of the nation's
crack professional and amateur
golfers, including Slammin'
Sammy Snead, pre-tourney fav
orite, and Ralph Guldahl, Na
tional Open champion in 1937
and 1938, today faced the
gloomy prospect of a rainy open
ing of the 14th annual San Fran
cisco open tournament.
Snead, in his first two warm-
up sessions on the long, flat,
Harding Park course, carded a
66 and a 69 for the par 72 lay
out, despite soggy fairways. His
66, which he shot Tuesday, was
Just one over the course record.
Byron Nelson, defending
champion, also shot a 69 yester
day. Other top professional en
trants in the $14,500 war bond
tournament who braved a rain
storm for a round yesterday, in

last year's runnerup who shot a
72; Craig Wood, who carded a

Snead Is the man to beat, ac
cording to Guldahl, who has
been out of the game since 1941
wtih a hip ailment.
"Snead Is so good that he has
the other boys out practicing,"
he said. "After Sam gets a few
tournaments under bis belt it is
going to be really rought to hold
him."
Snead is paired with Sam
Byrd, former outfielder for the
New York Yankees in the first
round.

'By Jack Cuddy
United Press Correspondent
New York, Nov. 30 (U.R)
Now begins the mad scramble
which heavyweight contenders
hope will lead to SSgt. Joe
Louis' crown, a diadem that
probably will be the most val
uable in pugilistic history
come peace and television.
Simultaneously with sudden
and purposeful activity among
the heavies, Champion Louis has
reported at Camp Shanks, N. Y.,
for a 60-day assignment as assist
ant in the camp's physical con
ditioning program.
Along Jacobs' Beach it is
rumored that Louis requested
this post so that he could assist
In bringing himself Into condi
tion, along with men at the
camp. The champion, who will
be 31 years old in May, was not
satisfied with his form during
recent exhibitions.
Stimulated by reports that
Jolting Joe is slowing up, civil
Ian heavyweights will be mighty
active from now on, hoping to
Jockey Into a position to chal
lenge Sgt. Billy Conn, the No.
1 contender (now overseas), or
Louis, himself, should either or
both be discharged from service
for physical reasons or when
the European phase of the war
Is finished.
Jimmy Blvlns, the Cleveland
Negro who was rated No. 1
civilian heavyweight before en
tering service, is back In civvies
again, having been given a medi
cal discharge recently from the
army.
Another possible civilian men
ace is Elmer (Violent) Ray, New
Orleans Negro who is riding a
string of 17 straight knockouts.
Ray hopes to earn a Madison
Square Garden match tonight by
showing Impressively against
big Earl Lowman in their Bos
ton bout. Louis recently rejected
Ray as an exhibition opponent
because Elmer is such a wild
slugger.

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"
