I PACE TWO humid PAUL HAINES THEY DOOD ITI Sparked by Glenn Bost wick, speedy left halfback, and Marvin uoty. driving full back, the Medford Black Tor nado reigm today as prep football king of Oregon. The Tornado swept over the La Grande Tigors. 14-0. Saturday in the title tilt at Portland s Multnomah stadium. The huge and powerful Med ford forward wall held the Ti gers scoreless throughout I no battle and when Hie La Grande eleven took to the air, Boslwick intercepted a pass and galloped 78 vards to a touchdown. In the third period, Doty scampered 20 yards for the second tally on a double lateral. . Quarterback Watson added both extra points from placement and that, lad dies, was that! The Medford team lived up to our fondest expectations in blasting the aggressive, air minded Tigers and, although the La Grande boys put up a game struggle, they just didn't have what it takes when the chips are down. We thought all season that the La Grande outfit was over-rated by many and the outcome of this tussle would seem to bear us out. The dynamic Medford Model T machine assembled by Coach Al Simpson putt-putted its way to 11 straight grid vic tories during the season and fully deserves to wear the cham pionship toga. The triumph over La Grande was comparatively easy" one for the Black Torna do, while the light but scrap py Gresham Gophers gave the Medford eleven the most com petition it faced all season in a close 6-0 ball game played Thanksgiving Day at Med ford. We are waiting in great antici pation for the arrival of a pack age of scrumptuous jelly beans from our friend, Lee Jacobs, over Baker way, but we do ad mire Lee for having the courage of his convictions. In' all fair ness it should be pointed out that the Baker broadcaster hadn't seen the Tornado in action this season when we made the wager, but on the other hand we hadn't seen La Grande. This definitely winds up the Oregon prep gridiron sea son for 1944 and we doff the old ltd to Coach Al Simpson and his Medford Black Tor nado, high school football Champions of Oregonl Marines Wallop Bend Five 51-24 - The Leatherneck cage squad romped all over the Bend Box Company quintet Saturday night at the post gymnasium, downing the visitors 51-24. - The outcome of the fray was never in doubt and the marines held a 30-7 lead at half time. The Bend quintet .was erratic and no match for the Leather neck five. Domitrovitch took seven shots at the basket and looped in six to lead the scor ing for the marines with 12 markers. Johnson, with seven' points, led the B'.nd attack. "Red" Gilbert, stellar Leath erneck center, was the out standing player on the floor, setting up all the marine plays and controlling the backboard play throughput the contest. The volume of freight traffic handled by the railroads in the first six months of 1944 was the largest for any corresponding period on record, and an in crease of 5.4 per cent compared with the first half of 1943.

Navy Wins Davis, Jenkins, Fenimore and Horvath Backs Paul Walker. KK Vale By RED GRANGE Written for NEA Service NEW YORK, Dec. 4 It still is the duty of every football writer, it seems, to pick an All America team. Selecting one has become a futility that even a world war can't stop, so without further ado and with no apolo gies, here we go again: Backs: Glenn W. Davis of Army, Robert T. Jenkins of Navy, Leslie Horvath of Ohio State and Robert Fenimore of Oklahoma A. and M. Ends: Philip Tinsley of Geor gia Tech and Paul Frederick Walker of Yale. Tackles: Donald Whitmire of Navy and George Savitsky of Pennsylvania. Guards: John Fcrraro of Southern California and Clyde Flowers of Texas Christian. Center; Caleb Dan Warring ton Jr., of Auburn. DAVIS LEADS NATION Thus the United States Naval academy is the only institution winning two places, and the club is composed of five from the east, two each from the south and southwest and one each from the midwest and Pacific coast. It is one of the mighty few times "in the last 25 years that Notre Dame is not repre sented. Glenn Davis, a sophomore ath letically but a plebe academical ly,' is a . must at tailback. A quick-breaking sprinter stand ing five feet nine and weighing 175 pounds, Davis turns on speed as. it is required. Lt.-Col. Red Blaik, Army's coach,, and others consider the 20-year-old, six-foot one, 190- pound Bob Jenkins the most punishing back in the country. ..'Alternating between right naitbacK and quarter and call ing signals, 23-year-old, five-foot 10, 167-pound Les Horvath in his fourth season of college foot ball is the balanco wheel of a phenomenal but otherwise young . Ohio State backfield. Horvath, . a Parma, O., dental student, is a precision blocker, a smacker, a whiz on a quarter back sneak, is of blazing speed, passes, kicks.

(Jit Medford Blasts La Grande In Championship Tilt 74-0 PORTLAND, Dec. 4 W Medford high's Black Tornado was back home today, the 1944, champion prep football team of all Oregon. The charges of 27-ycar-old Coach Al Simpson a T-forma-tion juggernaut that couldn't be stopped when the chips were down riveted the official state title here Saturday afternoon with a convincing 14 to 0 con quest of Cecil Sherwood's La Grande Tigers. Some 8500 Multnomah sta dium spectators watched the southern Oregonians strike sud denly for touchdowns in the second and third periods and beat off all attempts of the blue clad lads from the eastern part of the state to reach the end zone. It was Glenn Bostwick. 155 pound racehorse left halfback, who provided the payoff shot midway . through the second quarter. He intercepted a Bob Carey pass intended for Jim Courtney on the Medford 22 and raced 78 yards up the side lines for the initial tally. Nobody could catch him after great blocking got him to midficld. Fullback Marvin Doty, the Tornado's leading ground-gainer with 65 yards in 16 carries, got tne otner score. Me caught a lat- oral pass from. Right Half Jerry school product would be a star on any team at any position. Tinsley and Walker are Navy trainees. Whitmire is 22, stands 5 feet 11, weighs 215. Savitsky, who has a medical discharge from the marine corps, is 19, towers six feet three, comes in at a mere 252. Whitmire, a Decatur, Ala., boy, was an All-America tackle at Alabama before he ever saw Crabtown, where he is in his second year. They call him The Rock. On offense his cross blocking massacres guards. He ruined Notre Dame. Despite his size, Savitsky, All New Jersey at Camden High, is faster than most blocks. STAND ON THEIR OWN . John Ferraro and Clyde Flow ers are tackles switched to guards to make room for them on the first team. Coach Jeff CraVath calls the 225-pound Fer raro one of the two best tackles in Southern California history, and the Trojans have had a flock of them. Captain Flowers, a six-foot, 206-pound, 4-F, two lcttcrman Texas Christian senior, played tackle on offense, line-backer on defense, could have played flankcrback in a pinch. Everybody who saw him agrees on tho 205-pound work horse, Tex Warrington, a terrific tackier and brilliant downficld blocker. Warrington played two years at William and Mary, mode an otherwise almost total ly green Auburn aggregation dangerous, at time spectacular. I must go by the consensus and there is no sense in clutter ing up the page with second and third teams and honorable men tion. Those composing NEA's 1944 All-America team stood up de spite the fact that they were marked men, stand on their own.

Clark set the stage with a 10-yard blast on fourth down with three yards to go. Quarterback. Bob Watson placckicked both extra points. La Grande, which had won 10 straight games, was thwarted at all times by the gigantic iu.i pound . Medford forward wall and by a grand Tornado pass de fense that allowed only throe completions for 41 yards out of 14 attempts. Only once did the Tigers seri ously threaten Medford's goal line. That was in the final stan za when Terry blocked a Doty punt, the ball bouncing out of bounds on the Medford 30. Terry, on the first play, blast ed through for 10 yards, was then held for no gain and three straight passes were knocked down. Medford took over on-Its own 20 and La Grande's last chance was gone. Medford rolled to 271 yards and nine first downs to three, and held La Grande to 122 yards on the ground. The Tor nado completed one out of five passes.

Dec. 4 ,V) Except for ; a few scattered games which will prove noth ing, the 1944 intercollegiate football season is at an end, but it is going to be a mighty long time before tho fans stop talk ing about the great Army eleven that closed out its first perfect season since 1018 with a 23-7 victory over Nnvy. In chalking up their ninth straight victory and assurance as the football team of the year, the Cadets gave the impression that they had control of the game from the time they look a. 7-0 lead in tho second period until they rolled across for two more in the final quarter to turn the game into a roilt. There is no doubt Navy suf fered when Bob Jenkins, hard hitting fullback, was injured on the third play of the game, nnd Don Whitmire, all-America tackle candidate, limped off the field late in the second quarter. But even if both Middle aces had seen full time service, it is doubtful there would have been any material difference in the final score.
