Oregon Tech
Seeks Coach
Klamath Falls, Ore., Feb. 21
(U.R) The football team at the
Oregon Technical institute here
was without the services o f
Coach Dale Daughcrty today.
Daugherty, who took over as
head coach when football was
introduced at OTI two years ago,
announced his resignation to Di
rector Winston Purvine without
making public his reason.
At the same time, Purvine
said the resignation had been
accepted and that application
would be accepted at his office
for the vacant position. Mean
while, Daugherty will remain at
the institute to finish out the
school year by coaching OTI's
first baseball team.
Daugherty was Lincoln high
school coach in Portland the
year before he accepted the OTI
position. Before that he coached
five years at St. Cloud, Minn.,
and was graduated from Brad
ley university.

A recent letter to The Mail

that school officials and the Ore

have wrestled with for some time
Nevada Want
Big Football?
Reno, Feb. 21 (U.R) Do the
people of Nevada really want a
bie-time football team at their
only Slate university?
Reno businessmen who have
been supporting the University
of Nevada team financially want
an answer before tney do any
more about "saving" the sport
at the school.
Thev have chipped in nearly
$100,000 during the past four
years to build Nevada into a
football power. In addition, they
are in debt $45,000 to the school
for the feeding and housing of
football players, and at least
$10,000 of this must be raised
by April 15.
The university's regents de
cided to "foreclose" on the bill
last week, setting off a chain of
remarkably frank revelations by
Head Coach and Athletic Direc
tor Joe Sheeketski, who admit
ted Nevada was being outbid for
good players by richer colleges.
but so far have not been able to
solve.
This is the problem of dividing
the high schools in Oregon up in
to districts and classes so they
will play other schools of rela
tively the same size in student
body members.
Dunford said in part:
"It appears to me that those
who make the rules classifying
schools as to A class and B
class ought to do something
for the smaller schools . . .
When (a school) has the best
team on the floor but does
not have very many subs
there should be some way to
limit the other team's substitutions."
A solution to this is not as
easy as it might seem for while
southern Oregon and the Wil
lamette valley area probably
could be divided up into three
classes (AA, A and B), it would
be more than a little difficult to
do so in eastern Oregon, for in
stance, where distances between
towns are much greater.
A proposal was made last De
cember to the OSAA board of
control which supervises school
activities In Oregon, that the
high schools be divided into
three classes.
Class AA would be schools
who had roughly 500 or more
students registered, class A
would be between 230 and 500
and the class B would be un
der 250 pupils.
The OSAA board turned
down the reclassification pro
posal and Executive Secretary
Tom Pigott said just the other
da- that he knows of no plan
to revive the idea.
Tuesday, February 21, 1950
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Under such a plan such schools
as Medford, Klamath Falls and
Grants Pass would be classified
under class AA, schools such as
Eagle Point, Central Poirt. Kcr
by and even Ashland woWd Ke
in class A. while the present R
schools would remain as they are
now.
While such a division would
not limit the number of subs
a school could insert, as Dun
ford suggests, It would make
competition more even because
of relatively the same number
of students playing on each
squad.
Of course such a division
would not prevent Medford
from playing its traditional
game with Ashland or even
say Central Point meeting ei
ther valley class AA football
eleven or Basketball quintet.
Such games just would not
count in the race for state
honors.

an example of what he believes
is a wrong policy, the recent
basketball game between Eagle
Point high and Grants Pass In
which the Eagles used but 6 play
ers while the Cavemen used 15

Incidentally, by scoring abil
ity and general all-around play,
if Grants Pass had been limited
to its five starters plus maybe
one or two others, the Eagles
stood a good chance of winning
that game for the Cavemen first

On top of that, Detroit won
