Trio of Portland Aces Enter
Much Interest to Center
Around Contestants Who
Shoot From 90 Up
' The Southern Oregon - Northern
California golf championship tour
nament committee announced today
that entries were received thla morn
ing from Cecil Stevens, Russell Nance
and Eddie Halaetb, all from Port
land. The first two mentioned carry
S handicaps, while the other Is rated
at 8.
They are all prominently identified
with golfing events In Portland and
each has been the winner of many
tournaments In that section.
Their participation further assures
the higher bracket will be much
faster than In previous years, when
the tourney opens on the Rogue Val
ley course September 81.
Regardless of the faot that many
low handicap men are entering, the
real interest of the tournament Is to
be centered around those flights em
bracing players who shoot from 90 up.
The committee In charge empna-
sized today the fact that anyone
entering, regardless of his game, will
be bracketed with those shooting i
similar score. This definitely aa
sures each participant of an equal
chance of winning a prize.
It Is the desire of the club that
this program be given apeclal atten-
tlon, for the reason that primarily
the tournament Is for, all golfers and
not for a few, fortunate or otherwise
that happen to shoot low scores. Ac
cordingly a apeclal invitation Is ex
tended to all those with handicaps of
30 or more. Further, that all golfers
of southern Oregon and northern
California are Invited to enter, re
gardless of any club affiliation.
Play over the course for the bal
ance of the week will be free of any
charge for those entering, thereby
Hiving them an opportunity to fa
miliarize themselves with actual
playing conditions.
Owing to the large field this year
the committee In charge of the actual
play has not quite completed the
final achedule of play and special
events. It la expected this announce
ment will be forthcoming within a
few days.
HERE NEXT WEEK
With Promoter Mack Llllard In
Portland Sunday and Monday mak
ing every effort to secure "Jumping
Joe" Savoldl, famoui grappler, for an
appearance here In the near future,
and a dynamite-dealing card lined
up for this week, Medford fight fana
are sitting back, talking over the
prospects of the next bout, and
awaiting aome "delicious" wrestling In
the Medford armory arena. Accord
ing to word from Llllard last night
he la practically assured B a void I will
be here next week.
Such wrestling Is In the menu for
next Thursday, when btg Sam Le th
ere, Texas Jack-in-the-box, tangles
with Ex-AU American George Wll
aon, wildcat grappler from University
of Washington, in the main one
hour event.
Wilson and Lethera are two of a
kind, both clean, sensational wrest
lers, with the eomber-faced south
erner counting on fan rubber legs
to tie down an opponent, and the
flashy grid star using football's most
Important feature, the tackle, to
flatten an unruly rlngmate.
Two grnpplers of a different kind
are scheduled to be turned loose In
the other one -hour match, "Awful
Al" Karaalck, the Russian Lion, and
"Bad Boy" Billy Newman, Denver's
scrapping contribution to the grunt
ing art. Both Knrnslck and Newman
have displayed marked tendencies to
"go native" In the ring, using ev
erything primitive and gory that la
employed In the grip and grimace
game.
Promoter Llllard stated before
living for the north that Thura
day'a card will be a cla&alo In two
chapters, and a study In contrast,
for which he has continued the pop
ular uniform admission ratea.

PRO-AMATEUR GRID TILT
WILL USHER IN SEASON
By WILLIAM WEERES
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
CHICAGO, Aug. 38. (AP) The
1034 football season will get under
way Friday night about a month
ahead of schedule when the Chicago
Bears, national professional cham
pions, and a squad of all-stars from
1D33 college elevens clash at Soldier
Field before an attendance which
promises to reach 80,000.
The college squad, selected by a
nation-wide poll conducted by the
Chicago Tribune, began putting the
final polish on Its offense today,
under the direction of Head Coach
Nobel Klzer of Purdue, and his aides,
Dick Hanley of Northwestern and
Jimmy Crowley of Ford ham. The
Bears have been working hard on
their wide-open game under the eye
of George Halas, head coach and presi
dent of the club, Paddy Drlscoll and
Laurie Walqutst.
Klzer and his staff have primed the
as soon as his rating has been determ
ined. Mr. Smith Is at present attending
to business In San Francisco, having
left Monday, and is expected to re
turn tomorrow.
STATE SOFTBALL
SALEM, Aug. 28. Eight of the
18 teams entered In the state soft
ball tournament to be held here this
week,, will battle on Sweet land field
at Willamette university here tonight,
for a plaoe in the second round play.
The remaining eight will play Wed
nesday night.
The tournament will be held on a
straight elimination basis, one defeat
putting a team out of the running.
Heightened Interest in softball this
year brought about the formation of
a number of city leagues, and the or
ganization of the Oregon State Soft
ball association. As a result four times
as many teams will be entered in the
playoff this year as In the first cham
pionship tournament held last year.
Oregon city won the 1933 state title
over a field of four entries, which in
cluded also Portland, Eugene and Sa
lem. OX
tas3 fife.
" '
ex-colleglates for the first game of
the kind ever arranged with the Notre
Dame system, and the practice ses
sions Indicate that forward passes will
be abundant. Bernle Masterson of
Nebraska, has been doing most of the
throwing, with such prize sna toners
as Joe Skladany of Pittsburg, Fred
Canrlnus of St. Mary's, BUI Smith of
Washington, Beattle Feathers of Ten
nessee, and Ed Manske of Northwest
ern, on the receiving end.
Instead of the professional rule,
which permits heaving the ball from
anywhere behind the line of scrim
mage, the college rule will be In ef
fect. The latter regulation requires
the passer to be at least five yards
back of the scrimmage line when he
lets go of the ball.
As enthusiastic as any member of
the professional squad is Red Grange,
Illinois' famous "Galloping Ghost,"
who Is about to embark on his ninth
full season of playing the game for
money.

OFFICE BOYS PLAY
'RUBBER' TONIGHT
Tonight at 8 o'clock on the Junior
high school diamond "Scoop" Puhl's
Rlnky Dinks and Sam Colton'a Office
Boys, two lead teams of the local
katball league, will clash In a play
off of a 1 to 1 game tie.
Scoop's south Ivy street ball plsyers
edged Colton's team out of a nip and
tuck 3 to 1 game last week to even
the count of games, after having lost
a previous contest by another close
score. The battle tonight should be
a classic, Scoop says, as both teams
hsve strengthened their lineups, to
make a real fray out of what will be
the last game of the season.
Puhl's club Is in need of another
win to end the season and offset
several heavy defeaU early in the
series, when the Rlnky Dinks were
learning which end of the bat to
use. Their manager has never lost
confidence In hla aggregation, which
has tasted victory twice in its last
three games.
Sam Colton has been accused of
bringing In some outsiders for to
night's battle, but will settle that
difference with Manager Scoop on the

The Angels play four of the remain

Seattle only two. Moreover, the Lell

mento twice, Oakland and Seattle In
the remaining series, with only the
Reds and Indians constituting first
division opposition.
Meanwhile the Ruether tribe will be
crossing bats with Oakland, twice
with the Missions and once each with
Hollywood and Los Angeles. Only Oak
land rates as an easy assignment.
This week Los Angeles entertains
the Missions, who shook their batting
slump last week to take a series de

the one Red who hasn't slumped all

points to .385 and replaced Frank De
