Tuesday. Not. 27, 1945 MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE SEVEN PLACES Of J LL-STA West Point, N. Y., Nov. 27 U.R) Coach Earl Blaik, who took his army football team be hind closed doors for yesterday's drill, said the Cadets would scrimmage today In preparation for the Navy game at Philadel phia Saturday. Blaik was more concerned with his team's morale than with its physical shape. All the Army players were reported in top physical trim. The recurrent rumors of cost season games apparently had little effect on the Army players. The academy officials never have officially admitted Bowl invitations, and said they knew nothing of a 'reported plan to play the Fleet City Bluejackets, regarded as the best of service teams, in California in late De cember. Blaik said his team was dis appointed at collapse of the Hose Bowl dream, but that the dis appointment did not affect their play. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 27 (UP.) Coach Oscar Hagberg scheduled another heavy scrimmage for his Navy football team today. Navy, with Charley Kiser in for Newbold Smith at left tackle and Bob Kelly moved from half back to substitute fullback, scrimmaged for two hours yester day. Hagberg said the Middies were in top condition for the coming game with Army. Only Fullback Bob Jenkins was handi capped by a leg injury, and Joe Bartos will start, Hagberg said. Lighter contact drill will be in order tomorrow, Hagberg said, as the Middies taper off their two weeks of practice for their biggest game of the season. Closing time for Sunday Too Late to Classify 4:00 Saturday afternoon Please remember Dempsey Considers Invitation To Head Huge Sports Arena New York, Nov. 27 U.R Jack Dempsey was considering today an invitation to become "head man" at a new indoor sports arena, seating 11.000. which is planned for mid-town Manhattan to "buck" Madison Square Garden.

Medford high school's Black Tornado football team, winners of the Southern Oregon confer ence, district two title and semi finalists in the state champion ship playoff, placed ten men on the Medford Mail Tribune's an nual Southern Oregon all-conference team, selected by sports writers and coaches in the four cities comprising the league Klamath Falls, Ashland, Grants Pass and Medford. The other position on the first string was a tie vote between Bob Redkey, Klamath Falls, and Len Wil liams, Ashland. Bob Watson, Medford's great fullback, and Darrell Riggs, classed as one of the best ends in the state, were the only unan imous choices, each polling 16 votes. Watson was named cap tain of the first team. Each first team vote counted two points and each second team ballot brought one point, according to rules of the ballot ing. It is necessary for a player to get at least two votes to be considered for honorable men tion. . Bostwick Polls 15 Glenn Bostwick, Medford's speedy halfback, was right be hind Watson and Riggs, getting 15 votes to land a first team berth. He was crowded by Cave, Tornado center, and Ting ley, standout Medford guard, with 14 points. Other first string votes went as follows: Kircher, end, 10; Whillock, tackle, 13; Bessonette, tackle, 12; Greene, guard, 13; Clark, backfield, 11, and Redkey and Williams tied with 10 each. Gordon Peterson, Ashland's big tackle, was named to cap tain the second, team. Medford landed two positions on the sec ond string, Jerry Ross and Earl The real "take-home" If wages go up and output does not living costs rise. Then a man may be no better off than he was in the first place. As at matter of fact, he may bt worst off. Because that's the start of the inflation spiral with its mounting cyclone of con fusion. And once the spiral starts, prices usually keep two jumps ahead of wages. It doesn't help to have $2 to spend instead of $1, if eggs go to $1, then $1.50, then $2 a dozen and butter and bread and shoes and shirts double, then triple, in price. That's the trouble with the theory that you can increase buying power simply by raising wages. The most important thing Isn't what a man makes In wages per week The most important thing is how much hi can buy with the wages he makes. The "take-home" that really counts isn't what you take home in pay, but what you can take home from the store! GENERAL MOTORS Stelle being chosen. Four posi tions went to Ashland, Klamath Falls got three and Grants Pass landed three. Jim Merriman and Jerry Mitchell, Ashland en.ls, were named to the second string, polling seven and four votes respectively. Sari, Klam ath Falls, polled six for the oth er tackle spot along with Peter son who received eight votes. Ashlander Placet Wirth, Klamath Falls, netted eight votes at guard with the other guard berth going to Tom my Newton, Ashland, with five votes. Barry, Grants Pass, drew four votes to grab the center spot and Ross drew a like num ber for the backfield. Edwards, Klamath Falls, polled seven, Stelle six and Moser and Lutz, Grants Pass, tied with five votes to comprise the backfield. Honorable mention and num ber of votes polled went to Jan dreau, Ashland, 3; Singler, Med ford, 2, backs; Waldron, Med ford, 2; Thurman, Klamath Falls, 3, ends; Foust, Klamath Falls, 2, tackle, Vanderhoff, Klamath Falls, 3, center, and Fuller, Grants Pass, 4, and East man, Klamath Falls, 4, guards Coaches voting were Paul Angstead, Klamath Falls, John Roberts, Ashland, Mel Johnson, Grants Pass and Al Simpson, Medford. Sports writers casting ballots were Hale Scarbrough Klamath Falls, Herald and News; Glenn Prescott, Ashland Daily Tidings; Jerry Acklen, Grants Pass Courier, and Harry Chipman, Medford Mail Trib une. Bear Complimented Simpson commented that Ed Beare, Ashland halfback, caused Medford more trouble than any backfield man the Tornado faced in the conference but Beare did not poll enough votes to place. He is a sophomore and classed as a definite comer by Simpson. Acklen also noted on his ballot that Beare was hard to overlook but did not cast a vote for him. As has been customary In the past, players will receive award cards designating their selec tion.

Competition continued today be tween the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas over selection of a stadium for a war bond game which Army's undefeated team has been asked to meet the local undefeated Fleet City Blue jackets. The Football Writers' associa tion of Northern California peti tioned Commodore O. M. Forster, commander of Camp Shoemaker, the Bluejackets base, to bring the game to a stadium near the bay. The date probably would be Dec. 26, as the Cadets can travel only during the Christmas holidays. Cmdr. Billy Rcinhart, coach of the Bluejackets, disclosed plans for the game when he an nounced yesterday he had re ceived a request from the Los Angeles War Bond committee to match his team against the Cadets in the 100,000-seat Los Angeles Coliseum. Eighty-five million people can't be wrong. That many Americans now hold war bonds. The same number should buy Victory Loan bonds to Insure the peace. Buy early and often.
