PAGE TWO tfEBFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1D33. STATERS' SHOWING HELEN WILLS MOODY WALKS AGAIN LEAVESJFANS AGOG Franklin Bright Star of As tounding Upset - Web foots Have Something to Worry About Coming Tilt roSTLAND, Or.. Oct. 21 (Special) A young man by ths name of Frank lin. whoM reddish hair la getting thin, but whoae lege aren't, nearly made football history at the Multnomah stadium In Portland, Saturday after noon. He Intercepted a Trojan for ward paaa on OSC'a thirty-yard line and atarted for the Trojan goal, had he reached there, that football history would certainly hae been made. For Oregon State would have beaten Southern California and auch an upset would have been engraved on the tableta of aport In thla coun try for all time. But needleaa to aay be didn't. The chief reason waa that there were about 20 Trojans more or leae directly In hla path, and another leaaon waa there were only ten sec onds to play. But holding the coun try'a football champion to a scoreless tie waa enough of an achievement for one afternoon. It waa aufftclent to end the Southern California giants, bent and broken to the showers, and to aend a mob of OSO rootera to the nearest goal pasta, tear them down, and behind the band parade around the field and on down through the Portland buslneaa aectlon, making whoopee through the night and until early morning. How come? Here waa an obscure Oregon team, tied by Oontaga, barely nosing out a close decision against a 2nd rate team In San Francisco, matched against the greatest football machine In sporting history, with a atrlng of 38 straight victories to its credit, fresh from slaughtering the etrong W. S. O. aggregation, and de feating St. Mary'a, ow come that OSO played the national ohamplona to a standstill? Well the first answer Is OSO has a really great team' certainly the best team that has come out of Corvallls In 30 years. It la powerful, has a genuine back-field star In this man Franklin, and more Important knows the game. It la the first time we have ever seen an OSO team that had mastered the fundamentals, tackling, blocking and checking and played heads up football, every minute of the game. Southern Cal had the bet ter team, they made alx time aa many first downs and three or four times the yardage. Yet aa football goes they were lucky to escape defeat, For not only during that last halt minute, but twice be fore during the game thla aame young man Franklin, Intercepted forward pauea and came within an ace of getting away for a touchdown. A little break and he would have made It. fee I I t ft I! f i I lift h-U til - -'Lw? " "J ' til ".--'' i - ' ' St-' After (pending eeveral weeks In hospital Helen Wills Moody, former tennis champion.

(Associated Press Photo) PHEASANT SEEKS HAVEN FROM GUNS IN GARAGE And holding the Trojans to na score waa not In any sense a fluke They were within the 10-yard line four or live times, but the nearer they came to a score the harder the Beavera fought. In the shadow of the goal posta the boys from Corvallls simply refused to yield. In the line, and they had a defense for a passing attack that waa a whlra-bang, They checked those receivers, like so many terriers at a rat hole. Those Intercepted pasaea weren't accidents. Where the ball went there waa always an OSO man ready to grab It. Of course there la another factor the mental attitude, morale or whatever you wish to call It. OSO waa plainly on Its toes for that game. The new coach, Btlner, must be given credit for thla. Hopelessly outclassed on paper and on all the dope, never theleaa they came on the field to win. That waa apparent from the outset. They weren't wasting time over any Inferiority complexes. They weren't thinking about holding down the score. They were there to el am a slingshot between Oollath'a eyes they were there to win. The Trojans on the other hand, were merely skir mishing In the bush league. There waa nothing to pep them up, nothing to put them on their toes. It was Just anoher game. Not that they were overconfident exactly, but neither were they Inspired. The Corvallls lade WERE INSPIRED. It waa a case of a good team at it peak physically and mentally against a better team that waa Just going thru 1U week-end routine. After the game Coach Jones, first psylng a de served compliment to OSO remarked somewhat dryly, "Well, we weren't beaten." He MEANT that. It waa Just by an eyelash that "HI David" missed blowing on his horn, down through football history for all time. With eeveral other Hertford football fans who atlll hare credit cards for gas. we also took In the night game at Eugene the night before between the University and Idaho. It waa our first night game and we hope our last. We like oysters on the half shell ln fact our favorite dun. but we don't like them at breakfast. We like football In fabt ws sre frankly mad bout the game but we don't like It, after aun down, under a spotlight, with few thousand other forlorn Inarticulate humans, hanging about on the bleacher seau. like so many birds of prey gone to roost. Football la essentially a sunshine game or at least an open air, day light game. One not only wants to see the gams, but ths pretty girls end their colors and ths bouquets snd the cheering sections snd the bands and all ths collegiate) paraphernalia that go to make up the spectacle. All one can see clearly at night Is the ball and we admit It's Impossible to take one's eyes off from that. It la painted whlU. and how ft gleams against the darkness and the shadows of ths field, like one whits sheep In massed flock of coal black ones. Of course It's s great aid In following the ball. But after all It's the players who should follow ths ball not ths spectators. They want to follow ths players and ths play. Higm football Driven by shotgun fire from her country home, to seek the protection of the city, a young pheasant flew Into the Flchtner garage on West Sixth and Fir streets here Friday. Entering the service room, which faces Fir street, Carl Flchtner stated this morning, he heard a fluttering of wings and looked up to see the young bird, Just Inside the door, floundering against the glass. He went over and picked her up and found she was uninjured, but very frightened. She was placed In a pwwi-iu until m.tw w Ku mwiiiu and Is now roosting with pigeons snd chickens In the Flchtner pens on South Holly. Asked what he did with the bird this morning, Mr. Flchtner replied, "I couldn't kill her. She was too young So I took her home. I think she'll get along all right with the pigeons." At all events, she won't get shot at the Flchtner place, and If there's any law against keeping her, Mr. Flchtner explained this morning, she may take wing when the season closes. should be Immediately abandoned. If the higher-ups don't see to this ths football fans will. And to think that It waa Initiated to Increase gate re-celptsl How about Oregon snd OSCT Ah, that'a the question now. Oregon's big game this ycur certainly looms as a "natural". To those who aaw both games the answer la easy. If OSO three weeks hence, plays as she did against U. S. O. Saturday; and Oregon plays as SHE did against Idaho. OSC will win by at lenst two touchdowns. But that la a mighty big "If". Oregon has a fine team this year, and always plsys better than expected In the big game, while OSO Invariably plsys worse, , . , But whatover the final outcome. Oregon's big game this year should be worth travelling mllea to Prink Calllson smoked at least one pscksge of Camels (they don't make you nervousl) while he watched his charges defeat Idaho In the darkness Friday night, 10-0, one would like to know how many he smoked when he aaw OSC perform against the "Alt Americans," In Portland the next dayl Prink has hla work cut out for htm.

(Associated Press Photo) ELKS' BOWLING E The baseball game between the Coast league All -Stars and the Grants Paea champions was cancelled late Saturday night when the manage ments for the respective clubs failed to agree on terms. A guarantee had been offered by Fred Roper, secretary of the Grants Pass club to defray expenses of the would-be visitors, which was accept ed, but at the last minute a demand on the part of the All-Stars to have thla guarantee doubled was made, which the Grants Pass club was un able to meet, and the game therefore was called off.

Hoffmann FOR FAILURE 10 IZ ROME, Oct. 33. (AP) Primo Car nera'a first heavyweight title defense. auccessful though it was, added little to the mammoth Italian's prestige In his native land today. A crowd of 70,000 strongly predis posed In Camera's favor, watched the huge champion punch out a decisive 15-round victory over Paulino Uzcu dun yesterday, cheered him for a while and then booed him Just as hesrtlly In the last two rounds for his fsllure to stop the 34-year-old Bpsnlsh veteran of more than ten yeara' warfare against the world's best heavyweights. There was no question whatever as to the ultimate winner sfter the first couple of rounds. Csrnera smashed the Basque woodchopper all over the ring with a zipping le!l and ponder oua rights, yet never could floor a rival whose courage alone carried him through the full 15-round limit. Of the attributes that once made him feared throughout the heavy weight division. Paulino took with him Into this fight only a rock-ribbed chin and the constitution of an ox. He woe on the receiving end from the start, his rushes were smothered in the Italian's mighty arms, he was bleeding from the fifth round on, yet he never quit trying, never stop ped coming Into his bulky opponent, never was floored. At the finish, bloody and bruised, Paulino still was carrying on as aggressively as ever, taking the best Camera could offer. The crowd, which Included Premie! Mussolini, other fssclst officials and Jamea Roosevelt, eldest son ot ths American president, couldn't under stand how a man could take auch a beating and still remsln erect. Thst, perhaps, explained the chorua of boors that greeted Camera as ho vsinly sought to bring his small antagonist down. Angered by the demonstration against blm. Camera tried everything be knew In the last two rounds but ens own wlldneas, plus Psultno's sda mant chin, coul-f not bring a knock, out nor end the crowd'a booing.
