EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON)
5 Lettermen
On Crater's
Hoop Varsity
Central Point The Crater
high Comets, with 'a number of
bright stars of recent years miss
ing, carry on this season on the
basketball court with five letter
men. Back this year, as the Comets
aim for their fourth straight
Class A sub-district toga, are
Vern Parent and Fred Hogue, re
garded as regulars in the 1953-
1954 campaign, and Jim iiiggin
botham, a center alternate. The
other two lettermen on the squad
are Harvey Tonn and Kay
Kelley. 1
Coach Leonard Warren's cur
rent varsity crew is rounded out
with nine other players, most of
them with junior varsity exper
ience. He said that he may
make a further cut of his squad
. but not until after the first
tussles of the season
Non-lettermen now on the
varsity are: Nathan Douthit,
John Shama, Bob Gray, Gordon
Tidwell, Donn Johnson, Harold
Lefler, Don Von Buskirk and
Ken Bailey, all with jayvee ex
perience, and Willard Anderson,
a senior.
Thirty-eight boys turned out
for basketball at the start of
practice. Of them about 20 are
now on the jayvee squad.
The Comets have no lengthy
trips slated this year. They open
the season against Glendale at
Central Point on December 3
, and go to Glendale the follow
mg nignt. Two games eacn
have been scheduled with Grants
Pass. Regular season action will
find the Crater going against
Eagle Point, Phoenix and .Illin
ois Valley in new Rogue League,
which has succeeded the JDJ
circuit. '
The Comets were JDJ co-
champs with Illinois Valley and
Myrtle Creek last year before
."winning the sub-district, or
Little Six tournament. They
won one game and lost two to
Grants Pass in the district play
off.
Regulars, of last year's club
I missing are' Gordon Carrigan,
; Larry Bigham and Bob King,
!who won four letters, and Mar
vin Bohnert and Bill Boye, who
i picked up three monograms.
Other lettermen lost by gradua
tion were Peto Thompson, Gor
rdon Mekvold and , Howard
Morris. Because of injuries, Mek
vold and Morris did not finish
the season. Another senior who
?won three letters, Herb Weber,
transferred to a Seattle school in
jmid-season last year.

paj Intramural
Play Progresses
At High School
The fall intramural program
at Medford senior high school
is well under way with a ping
pong tournament currently the
pjoat of interest.
Twenty-four boys are partici
pating in the tournament, the
winner of which will receive a
trophy donated by the Boys'
League. Girls' intramural com
petition in volleyball and table
tennis will start after the Thanksgiving-holiday.
A horseshoe tournament al
ready has been held with broth
ers Bruce and . Dan Kellington
emerging as school champions.
Larry Anderson and Bill. Bowl
ing were runners-up.
Boys League Sponsor
The intramural program at the
high school is sponsored jointly
by , the Boys' League and the
physical education department.
The Boys' League furnishes tro
phies and handles the scheduling
of contests, while the physical
education department formu
lates official rules and provides
the equipment. Contests are
played before and after school.
The aim of the program is to
provide recreational activities
for as many boys as possible,
especially for those who do not
participate in varsity athletics.
Army, Navy
Leaders in
Total Yards
New York U.R) Every
attacking weapon in the book
will be at the full and expert
disposal of both sides when
Army an'd Navy clash in their
climax game of the 1954 season
at Philadelphia Saturday.
They are one-two in total of
fense among the nation's major
colleges and have compiled an
unusual record of versatility,
NCAA Service Bureau -statistics
showed today:
Army has rolled up 459.4
yards . a game, an average ex
ceeded only four times in past
years and one high enough to
practically clinch the 1954
championship. Navy is second
with 401.3 Texas Tech Third
with 400.7 and Mississippi fourth
with 399.
: Army is also first in ground
attack with 329.1 yards a game
rushing, to 316 for Colorado,
298.7 for ' defending champion
Oklahoma and 292.2 for Texas
Tech. Navy is ninth in the de
partment with 268.3..
Both Army and Navy are the
only teams in-the country rank
ing among the leaders in pass
ing as well as m rushing. Navy
is 10th, averaging 133 yards a
game, Army 12th with 130.3.
Balance Shown
Furthermore, 'Army is at
record levels in two pass depart
ments, yards-per-try and yards-per-completion,
a - tremendous
proof of balance for the No. 1
rushing team. And the Cadets
are also on the verge of the
second best yards-per-play rec
ord for total offense ever com
piled. And to top it off, both natural
ly rank high in scoring. Army's
33.9 points-a-game mark is the
fourth best in - the country,
Navy's 32 is seventh best,
- The passing leader, however,
is Purdue, and it seems likely
to hold on to its honors. It
finished with 177.3 yards a game
to California s 172.
I UCLAj which finished its nine-
game season unbeaten and un
tied, is the undisputed scoring
leader of 1954 at the moment
and extremely unlikely to be
caught. With 367 points, the
Uclans averaged 40.8 a game.
