Medford Tracksters To Meet Klamath Tomorrow Medford hlgh'i track and field team will compete in the first dual meet of the season tomor row afternoon, beginning at 1:30 when they meet Klamath Falls, last year's district champions. 11 is a practice meet to enable the coaches to get a look at their material before the annual invi tational meet here April 14 be tween Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Ashland and Medford.

Medford Coach Al Simpson (aid the following boys will carry the colors for Medford: 100 and 220-yard dash Boat wick, Cottingham, Bebb and To the Women off the West Suppose) that by some mirac ulous chance a wounded Amer ican soldier magically trans ported from Germany or Luzon knocked feebly at your door. You would drop everything tverylbing to care for him, "Gangway," you'd say. "This is a woman's job." From the) Army hospitals ol the land, the wounded are cas ing you just as eloquently ai from your doorstep. In those hospitals, woman's highest job the eternal triumph of life over death awaits you. The Women's Army Corps offers you opportunity to serve at a soldier and a woman. In Army hospitals, many ktj tasks can be performed by an; able and intelligent woman. So the Army has turned once more to the WAG General Marshall himself is urging enlistments la WAC hospital units. Small noed exists for him to emphasize the emergency. From over the earth the casu alties are crowding in. Every where the too few doctors and nurses art working until the; drop. You've heard the talk that nurses may have to be drafted. So the service you can perform as a member of the WAC is great If you enlist now, you'll be given special training to help you become the right arm of the doctors and the nurses and of the wounded men themselves. WAC hospital soldiers keep recoriii, make beds, give baths, take pulse and temperatures, serve meals and liquids and do all the non-professional things connected with nursing. And tha Army will strive to assign you to a hospital near your home. You'U help care for boys from your own commun ity. You'U be a woman who's a soldier and a soldier who's a woman assigned to woman's greatest job. Singler. 440-yard event Carr and Hunter. 880-yard race Werner, Ellis, Hunter, Phipps and Butler.

Belcastro has nobody to blame but himself for his lick ing at the hands of the hooded monster. With falls standing one apiece, Belcastro attacked the Mask during the rest period. When the bell officially started the session Pete ran into a series of head butts and was forced to give up after three minutes. The Mask took the first fall in 20 minutes and Belcastro evened it in six minutes with a shoulder press. Georges Dusette and Ernie Piluso went to a fast draw with each taking a fall in the semi windup. Tex Hager was awarded the deciding fall on a foul over Billy McEuin in the opener. BASEBALL MEN FACE INDUCTION Washington, April 8U.R) Immediate induction Into the armed forces today faced base ball players who hold defer ments for 'essential Jobs in in dustry and leave to play base ball.

The order opens the way for many nationally known stars in navy uniform to be sent over seas, thereby giving servicemen avay from home an opportunity to see high class athletic compe tition. In an order to all naval com mands ,'n thla country, the navy said it no longer favored "de liberate concentrations of pro fessional or publicly-known am ateur athletes within the co-j-tinental United States for the purpose of exploiting their spe cialties in athletic team competition." Sport Chips BY I r ik Harry Chlpman Mail Tribune Sports Editor NAZI VILLAGERS LEARN ABOUT WAR THE BITTER WAY Refusal of Enemy Troops to Surrender Brings Destruc tion of Homes of Town. The baseball season in the valley is still in the embryo stage "but already it begins to look like there will be no league this summer. Dom Provost, who generally has his fingers in the Ashland baseball pie, has noti fied Mac McKinney, secretary of the Medford Craters, that Ashland will probably not be able to field a team. Grants Pass has not answered McKinney's letter seeking information on a team from the Climate City. If present plans are carried out, the chances are slim for an outstanding team from Medford. But Conlln is trying to work up a gang of older players while the Craters are also rounding out plans for a team with the stress being on youthful play ers. We have asked both Conlln and McKinney why they did not group their efforts and put out the best possible team to repre sent Medford. Conlin said the Craters were leaning toward youth to make up its lineup while he wants to give the older fellows a chance. McKinney said he favored both organiza tions Joining together to put out the best possible club. It is our feeling, as well as McKinney's, that there is not enough capa ble material in Medford to field two teams able to hold their own with southern Oregon com petition while one fairly good team could be made up. McKinney said he has re ceived a letter from the naval station at Klamath Falls indicat ing they might field one or two teams and would be interested in entering a league. The letter said Norm Worthley, former Junior high coach here and catcher for the Craters a few years back, might be named manager of one of the clubs. Although no word has been received to date from the ma rine barracks at Klamath Falls, it is our guess they also would be interested in forming a team to enter a - southern Oregon league. Come what may, there will be some form of baseball in the valley this summer. The Choney Lumber company at Central Point has a team already or ganized and vitally interested in forming a league. Conlin is planning a workout for his gang of "oldsters" at the high school diamond.

One locomative was de stroyed and three damaged. By Ann Stringer United Press Correspondent Scherfede, Germany,- April 3 (Delayed) Until last night this little village nestled In a pine forest didn't know what war meant. It knows now. It learn ed the hard way. That young woman coming down the street knows about war now. She is pushing a baby buggy. In it is a little girl about 18 months old. She lies still in the buggy. One side of the pink blanket wrapped around the baby is wet with blood. Child Attended The weeping mother pushes the buggy to an American aid station. They dress the gaping wound in the child's leg. That's all they can do. They tell her the best thing is to take the baby home and call in a German doctor. Our doctors have their hands full with their own wounded. They hate the idea of having to send the baby away, but what could they do? Here's how the baby's mother and her fellow citizens of Scher fede learned about war. Last night American infantry approached the village. They knew German troops, elite guards at that, were hiding there and waiting for them. So, as Sgt. Donald R. Weishaupt of Panama, Okla., relates it: Troops Warned "We set up a loud speaker system. We told the citizens in both German and English that we had them surrounded. We told them they had no possible chance. We asked them to sur render and save their town. "Some of the civilians did come out. But the troops stayed." When the deadline came, our artillery turned loose on the vil lage. Today many houses lie crumpled into the streets, some of them still smouldering. Oh one street four milk cows lie dead. Their stiff legs poke out straight In the air. A little old woman Is digging In the wreckage of what had been a house. Probably even she doesn't know Just what all is looking for something from her home to take away. Twenty-two captured SS men in black leather togs are being marched through the town. At the edge of it Is, a German self propelled gun, u.. damaged. Atop it are a few limbs and leaves for camouflage. Bodies Collected On a hill outside the village are the bodies of three more SS men. A grave detail is there now, collecting them for burial. In a little valley nearby is a wounded elite guard. Through their glasses our doctors saw he was lying on a grenade. They'd go almost anywhere to help the wounded, even a nazl. But they are not foolish enough to walk up to a wounded German lying on a grenade. This time it might be all right. The nazi might respect the Red Cross of the medics coming to save his life. But too many times it has been a different story. So as long as he has that Amm'L VNaaaaw? 9 Friday. April 8.
