MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDKOKD. OREGON, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1936
Frankie Peck Holds Fans' Hope of Pinning Ozark Meanie Tonight
AND PETTiGROVE
ALSO 10 TANGLE
Armory Mat Card Will Be
Opened By Match Be
tween Christy And Long
Bill Promises Action.
Medford wrestling fans have toe
treat of the season ooming tonight
when they line up around the Armory
arena. The most Important of three
probable thrills Is the possibility of
seeing Ken Hollls, Arlcsnsss meanie,
taking a beating at the hands of San
Francisco's Frankie peck In the main
event. '
Pans have prayed for a Hollls loss
for several months, but by the use of
trickery, underhanded slugging meth
ods, biting, kicking and choking, the
"Ozark Oaf" has managed to win In
every appearance here. Not so In
Klamath Palls, however, where Peck
thrashed him several weeks ego by
knocking him kicking with a
right hand smash to the chin, after
Hollls bad been In the lead with eye
gouging. Peok has promised the same
thing If the same circumstances pre
sent themselves tonight.
The second thrill on tap will come
when George "Wildcat" Wilson climoa
through the ropes to meet Duke Pet
tygrove of New Orleans In the mid
dle main-event. Wilson's record since
graduating from the University of
Washington as an all-time American
football star, shows that be Is par
ticularly colorful, and particularly
oareless with his sonnenoergs ana
drop-kloke. If his kicks or flying
tsxiklee connect, they are apt to end
the battle, and If they mlso, Wilson
generally lands m the nickel seats in
the background, a badly naitereu
young man. Such an attack recoiled
on blm In his lsat appearance hen)
several years sgo, and he wiped out
a ring post with a flying tackle.
The opening thrill will undoubted
ly be supplied by Ted Christy, smoke
breathing Los Angeles terror, whose
ring work was ruled so shady that he
waa barred from California matches
for "30 days. Christy meets the clever
Wayne Long In the curtain raiser, un
der the Australian system of six 10
mlnute rounds. Long endeared himself
to Medford wrestling followers lost
week when he carried the battle to
Ken Hollls but lost on a fluke when
ha lost his balance.
Even though Promoter Mack LIUsrd
describes the card as one of the best
he has ever offered, he has announced
that the new low fares will stsy in ef
fect for tonight's matches. The,,open
ing eurtaln goes up at 8:30.

Thomas 8. Shlbe, president of the
Philadelphia Athletics snd one of the

Amerloan league Into major league
baseball In 1001, Is dead at the age
f 70.
He died last night of a henrt ail
ment aggravated by a h'avy cold
which he contracted threo wurks ago.
Just as he began h annual winter
vacation In Florlls. He woo brought
tt me Immediately i nd olrt In a
luispltal, where nil condition grew
stfadlly worse .
The question ot who replace
the veteran magnate as heal the
bascbsll club was a matter of conjecture.
In some quartet tt was though
hla brother, John D. Shlbe, would
take the helm. Others, however, be
lieved thst Connie Mack, manager of
the Athletlca, might become the new
president. Although the ownership of
the club stock has been kept a secret,
It was reltsbly reported Mack owns
controlling Interest.
Spends .Week-Knd Here Lieut.
Maurice D. Cochran of Camp Indian
Creek spent the week-end here, hav
ing accompanied his company's CCC
basketball team whloh played two
basketball gamea In Medford.
Complication set In In the south
ern Oregon league basketball race
when Oranta Pass, surprisingly,
thumped the apparently unbeatable
Ashland Orlzzltes. While It still leaves
the Llthlans far out In front It does
give Medford a slim chance of over
hauling them. For Instance: Medford
has only dropped two games. It they
drop no more until they meet Ash-
laud, and then take the Llthlans one
out of the two, the race will be tied,
with each team having lost two en
counters. If Medford makes a clean
sweep of the series and takes Grants
Pass twice more, the Tlgera will be In
the vanguard with only two losses
while Ashland will then have three.
That, we realize, Is a highly
problematical "If," Ashland Is far
from a discouraged ball team,
even If Grants Pass did take
them. Coach Faber'a churges feel
that they had an off day at
Grants Pass, and don't Intend
having any more of the kind.
But, and here's the nice part of the
whole thing, the Tigers realize that
Ashland waa having an off day, but
It opened their eyea to the fact that
the Grizzlies are not Invincible. That'a
going to make a big difference. Ash'
land tost a real spark plug when Par
ker Hess graduated at mid-year, and
Medford gained one when Sam Van
Dyke returned to the lineup. The
two teams are much more evenly
matobed than In earlier gamea, with
the added advantage to Medford that
they are fighting with everything to
win and nothing to lose.
Most of the above sounds as though
Oranta Pass won their game from
Ashland chiefly through luok, which
Is not the case. The Cavemen have a
good team, and In their center, Hol
loway, have a dead-eye at the ring
whose equal would be hard to find
In this part of the state. Medford will
be fortunate to get by them unscath
ed In the next two games.
Yesterday we saw Arnold Bou

Guiding minds of the sport, better
Identified as the national collegiate
football rules committee, met here
for three days, talked a lot and
emerged with smiles and a few
change In the rule book.
For one thing they adopted "a rec
ommendation" which la praotlcaUy a
rule by another name, advising ref
erees to forget the "slow whistle" ad
monition rendered last year.
Regarded aa a boon to so-called
modern methods In football part leu
larly in encouraging the llghtnlng-
Uke lateral pass "the alow whistle"
enabled a ball carrier to tear away,
kick or better atlll try a lateral pass,
after hla progress down the field had
been temporarily stopped. Elimina
tion of the tardy whistle means a play
will be called dead a fraction of a
second sooner than before.
The rules group added punches to
the game In two more decisions, one
permitting a player on either team to
run, pass or klok a blosked punl
wmcn han't crossed the Une of
scrimmage. In the past the ball was
ruled dead at the point of recovery.
The announcement suggested that
a referee not be too drastic If a play
er rushes a punter In a legitimate
manner and accidentally brushes him
In the melee. The penalty of five
yarda and a first down to the punting
team still holds good, however. If the
offense appears deliberate.
Still another change provides that
a player Ineligible to receive a pass
cannot take a position In advance of
the spot the ball Is either caught or
knocked down. Teams must be ready
to play the second half without no
tlflcatlon by officials, or suffer a 15
yard penalty Instead of the old 36-
yard loss at the klokoff. Players
should wear numerala on both aides
of their sweaters, and a regulation
sired football will be recommended to
schools throughout the country.
