MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, BEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1933. TIGERS SEEKING HIGH POLISH FOR Death Counts Stribling Out From Crash Injury GRAPPLER IN LEG Some Hands AT PAGE TWO E Young Giants On Line Should Give Good Account Ball Carriers Look Like Real Menace for Foes Br John Snider. Coaches D. K. Burjer nd B. M. Klrtlej are attempting to polish .up thlr diamond In the rough, o that they may mine end glitter on the gridiron this season a never before. Performing the task of whipping Jot of raw msterlel Into aliape I quit a Job, your correspondent found when be hiked out to the practice field last night. Coacb Burger was putting the line men through the routine exercises that should enable them to uproot a full grown tree or dislodge a house from Its foundation. After wltnw Ing a few mlnutea of line practice, we began to understand why Bur ger's line usually outchargee Its op ponents, though heavily outweighed. When the Tiger mentor bark "un- .n v- ..w,i. holna flv as the' squad Industriously team Into the scrubs. Heavy Line Candidates. With a host of young giants on the line, It appears to be of about the same calibre as of last year. Large) holes were left In the line by the graduation of Olem, Oreavee, Ml near and Llndley, but many heavy youngsters are out to fill these posi tions. Among those trying to sup Into the former grldsters' shoes are Baker and Kindred, the twin tackles that swing a mean hip Into the op posing defense, Prentice and Estes, both well experienced In the line. Pat Bhaw, a last year's letterman. It la a close battle between Hammack and Stuart to fill In the position at center. Continuing to the backfleld, where 1M mrtley waa putting the ball car rlera through their paces, we saw why the Weed linemen seemingly crum pled and swayed aside to let the Med ford Tornadoes through. Big Bill Bates, a combination of Flchtner, Scheel, and a mass of muscle, la In the lineup at full back. 16 Is pre dicted that Bates will prove to be real worry for any lnvadera on the Medford football domain. Backneld Btaunch. Leo Ohelardl and Max Olllneky are toting the pigskin up the field this year as never before. Lewis, Oebhardt and White are playing a real game of football In the backfleld also. The real acid test will come next Saturday, when tha Roseburg Indiana play host to the locale for the tradl tlonal grudge game. Reports from the northern city etet that only three men are mlsalng from the line up this year. Last eesson, In a close game, the Roseburg team dropped the game to the Tlgera with l-0 score. The Roseburg game will be the second of a herd echadule, In cluding Crescent city, Msrshfleld, Klamath Pslls, Eugene, Eureka, Grants Psas, and Ashlsnd. In reference to the gsme with Weed last Saturday when the Medford boys proceeded to ruffle up the Callfor nlans1 hslr, the whole teem, both the backfleld and the line, ahowed much promise for the future, though little rsgged from lack of practice. Bob Blnman and Ole Beverson, first yearmen, came Into the limelight and were amsahlng Into the Weed Una with all the force of experienced players. Tha main week point of the squad seem to be In the blocking and tackl ing on the Una plays. Passing and punting still hsve much chsnc for Improvement, which time and. prac tice will accomplish.

But today the veterana were willing to forget temporarily the serious business of adopting a rehabilitation program and turn their attention to pageantry displayed In what they hoped would be the greatest parade in the legion's IS year history. The police were ordered to be pre pared to handle a crowd of half a million apectatora when 130.000 mem bera of the Legion march down Michi gan avenue, through drent Park and Into Soldiers' field, keeping step to the music of ISO bands and 300 drum corps. The stsrtlng time was fixed at 10 a. m. As a forerunner of today's psgeant ry. the 40 and B, playboys of the veterans' organisation, took over Michigan avenue last night In a pa rade of numerous models of the French freight trains with the box cars that were used to haul 40 men or S horace of the American expedi tionary forces. Last night's parade moved alowly between solid lines of apectatora that Jammed Michigan avenue and when It waa over It was severs! hours before traffic could be restored. Todsy's parade and lack of general convention activities gave the Legion- nelres more time for the maneuvers looking to the selection of one of the seven candidates for the place of He. tionsl Commander Louis A. Johnson. There wss some talk that a coalition candidate would win the honor, but other reports said the backers of "fa i sons ' would stick without com- ...... LIFE IS LOST IN MORNING HOURS By Alan M. Abele Associated Press Staff Writer. MACOK. Oa, Oct. S.IAP) They counted out Toung Btrlbllng esrly today for the flrat time In a lS-year career that stands as one of tbe strangest In the annals of pugilism. In the stillness of a hospital room a setting which wss the very antl thesis of tha sctlve life hs had led death came to "the boy," ss Pa Strlb. ling called him, from Injuries suf fered In a traffic accident. A veteran at 33 of more than 800 ring battle and five times challenger for title he never won. Young Btrlb llng has left for the record books a question mark as to hi true rsting as a fighter. Brilliant At Best At his best hs was brllllantl at hi worst they hurled st him the taunt ing cry of "yellow." And In between he went hi way smilingly, undaunt ed, taking on all comera In a cam paign that carried him to the far ends of the earth. Those who knew Btrlbllng a an amateur sportsman airplane pilot, speedboat racer, golfer and basket ball star never questioned hi cour age. Particularly, any who flew with him breathed freely once more only when they felt ground under their feet again. He had walked away from at least on crackup In his plsne and, until Sunday, had been on his feet at the finish of every venture he ever tackled. Started Career Early After a childhood acrobatlo career Btrlbllng entered the fistic wars ss a slight, sleek-haired youth of 18, wearing bright purple tight mad by his mother Ma Btrlbllng, who was la hi corner for every big fight from then on. He won a four-round de cision that day from Kid Dome, an Atlanta newsboy, but It waa not until three years later that he gained na tional fame In the memorable "three decision" bout, with Mike McTlgu, then light heavyweight champion, at Columbus, Oa. Pushed Into the front of the fistic picture by this flssco, Btrlbllng In the next eight yeara met the best of them Berlenbach, Sharkey, Lough- ran, Scott, Camera, Bchaaf and Schmellng with varying success, but a title always eluded him. His last resl bid came on July 8. 1331, In the Cleveland stadium when he lost to Schmellng on a technlosl knockout 14 seconds before the final bell. Bat tered and bleeding, he held on until the referee etopped the fight, and silenced once and for all many of those who had doubted his ability to "take It." Made World Tour A world tour under the direction of manager "Pa" followed, and Strlb bltng returned to this country early this yesr to undergo treatment for a knee Injury. He fought a couple of test bout, then once more started up the comback trail in a bout two weeks ago with Maxle Rosenbloom. It wss his Isst fight and It went into the record as a victory, for ha outpointed the light heavyweight champion In ten rounds. But the title was not at atske and Toung Btrlbllng lost forever his chance to wesr a champion a crown. Almost to the end this morning he remained conscious, carrying on In the ssme spirit thst he showed when they picked him up from the road side on Sundsy. Game To Last "Well, Kid, I guess this means ao more road work," waa his grim com ment to a mend who we first to reach him a he lay beside hi wreck ed motorcycle with on foot dangling dj a single wnaon. Somehow that doesn't sound a If "the boy" was yellow. Members of the family gathered In the white-walled hospital room at 3 a. m. after hop for his recovery was abandoned. He held on gamely, rous ing occasionally to ask for water, but at 6 o'clock hla stout heart begsn weakening rapidly. The physlclsns went amend at hi ability to cling to life, with hi tem perature at 107 1-5 degrees snd hi pulse 17. Once, he recognised hi wife. "Hello, Bsby." were his last words to her. Shortly before she had been wheel ed Into the room and throwing her arms sbout his neck, murmured. "W. L. "Sugar," was the barely audible re ply. MOLLISON PLANE UNABLE TO RISE WASAOA BF.AOH. Ont..
