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

Scheel, and a mass of muscle, la In

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

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

Parade Today.
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.

There wss some talk that a coalition
candidate would win the honor, but

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.
