IX MZDFOltD MAIL TRIBUrTB WET GRID MAKES MEDFORD ELEVEN SLIGHT FAVORITE Portland, Ore., Dec. 1 U.PJ The Railblrds side-glanced at the weatherman today and put Medford down as a slight fa vorite to beat La Grande at Multnomah stadium here to morrow afternoon in the game to decide the state prep school football championship. - Said the weatherman In his latest forecast for Portland and vicinity more rain. More rain means a probable muddy field. And a muddy field means that a slight edge must be conceded the southern Oregon outfit whose line averages 100 pounds to the man compared to the 170 pound average for the La Grande line. ' So reason the Railbirds. But La Grande didn't seem impressed by the argument to day as it continued prepara tions for the big push tomorrow. Paying little heed to the Rail birds or to anyone or any thing else except their urge to get out there and win tomorrow, each team today was confident of victory. The elevens that won the semifinals both arrived here yesterday, and lost little time in getting the feel of the Multno mah stadium gridiron. Each squad was reported in top con dition for the contest. MlAfSET FOR GRID CRASH West Point, N.
