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.

Thus the United States Naval

is composed of five from the

Lt.-Col. Red Blaik, Army's

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.

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.

Great Army -Team
Closes
Perfect Year
By OHLO ROBERTSON
BALTIMORE. 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.
Jenkins jut buck into action
in the fourth period in time to
have a pass Intercepted by.
