S4995 and up LOW MONTHLY TERMS Hubbard Bros., Inc. FANDOM -AT RANDOM By Dick Applegate "It'e a lie. I never said any. thing of the aort, and I'm going to aue the Associated Preae," George "wildcat" Wlleon, ex-Unlverslly of Washington footballer. and now a pro fessional wrestler, hotly replied last night In answer to a query aa to whether the university had atarted paying him that 810,800 the A. P. said he claimed they owed him for giving up a professional football ca reer In 1838. "Every time I say something, somebody misquotes me," Wilson said. He told us what he did say aa thlsi "In 1828, while I was playing football at Washington, we got a bid to play In the Rose Bowl, against Alabama. I had a pro football contract calling for 810,800 for the season, and didn't want to play that Rose Howl game. The school and the com mittee promised to reimburse me for the loss If I played, but didn't My how much. They did give me fits or 8360, at Pasadena, but my hospital expenses were more than that." Begardleas of how good he may be at high finance, It la undeniable that the Incomparable aeorge possesses one of the most smashing flying tackles In wrestling. And he la be ginning to know enough not to launch It when there Isn't much chance of connecting with hla opponent. Last night he ahuttled back and forth across the ring like an expres stralu, with Duke Pettygrove frantically keeping out of hla way, but he dldnt dive until ha knew where he was going to hit. He looked a lot more like a sprinter than a wrestler on those trips, but when he finally straightened out In that son n e n- WOV: WHAT'S THAT GA(j A80UY berg he looked like the great football player he was a few years ago. Wil son la 10 years older than he was when play I ng under Was h I ngton's colors, but If he hit the line any harder than he hit Pettygrove, It It little wonder ttu-7 called him "Wild oat." After last night's wrestling ! metrites, Frankle peek admitted that Ken Mollis hit him harder with Ills bare fist Ihun he had ever been hit with a dub, "and I've been swatted with a few pretty hard clubs In my dny." People can't like the Ken Holtlses of the world, or of the ring, but we must admit this Hollls la about as tough a cooky aa we ever clamped a sour eye upon. Any guy who can survive the battering of a whirlwind of blaok-Jacka, by men who aren't fooling when they awing them, to say nothing of a wallop from the edge of a folding chair, la plenty tough Too tough, almost, for Peck. Before that match. Peck had de cided to slug it out with Hollls. But after bouncing a few short "shook punchea" (hla own term) off the Hollls Jaw and getting no reaction other than bruising his knuckles, he went back to hla head-looks, sn ef fective If not particularly thrilling way of subduing the Ozark Ooaf's enthusiasm. Like practically everyone else, w want to see Hollls get a real thrash ing before he lesves here. Not the technical kind that flnda him with hla back on the mat, but the kind that leaves him battered and dazed, possibly with a few toeth missing. Aa a matter of fact, that prospect la so appsallng that we are willing to take a crack at him ouraelf. In the main event, seml-wlndup. curtain raiser, or out behind somebody's barn. Llllard can arrange the match for anytime. We're ready now. The only concession we want granted Is this: Hollls la to enter the arena pre pared to go at It "no-holda-barred." That's all he'll have to do. We, how ever, are to be armed with long steel spikes on esch shoe, a boor-bottle full of lead In each hand. There la to be a nlne-fot steel mesh fenoe between us, the meshes to be not larger than one-foot aquar. And lastly, we are to have four men. each armed with a ; high-powered rifle, sitting at each j corner of the ring, ready to shoot to kilt the first time Hollls move out ; of hla tracks. We're reedy to start j as soon aa he Is. W think he's a big j alasy. i Use Mall TTIhune want ads YES, SIR, FIFTY PIPEFULS IN THIS TIN! Thia is one of tho Hawkins boyi Roy.

Peck emerged on the long and of the count In the main evtnt en the Armory card laat night when he woozlly applied a back body drop to the surprised Hollls who I seem d to have the affair "In the bag." Hollls took the first fall In three minutes with slugging, eye gouging and three resounding body slams. Peck took the next with head-loclrn when ha abandoned hla avowed in tent Ion of plugging Hollls silly In favor of the gruelling skull embrace, Only once In the entire match did the San Franciscan cut loose with his powerful right arm Jabs, and then only to hit the Arkansan with short blows which did little good. In the last frame, Hollls was again beating Peck about the ring with rabbit punches and knee kicks, but under estimated the rugged peck's ability to "take it." With Hollls clamping Peck's own head In tight lock. Peck threw blm off against the ropes, dropped to the floor, and raised under the ricochet ing Hollls to sel him In a back body drop, fall on Hollls' face with hla own shoulders, and pin him for the count. Hollls protested violently, refusing to return to the Medford ring until a new referee was procured "I'm tired of licking the wrestlers and the referee too," he said after the match. The middle bout was one of the shortest ever seen here, when George Wilson set puke Pettygrove up against the ropes and then slammed him through the hemp with pile-driving sonnen bergs. Pettygrove was unable to return, and a doctor was needed to revive him. The bout took two min utes. The opening fiasco went to Ted Christy, Los Angeles meanle, in al most as short order as he and Wayne Long mixed In a whirlwind encoun ter. Long took the first fall with a flying head butt after Christy had slapped him around for several min utes. In the next fall, Christy let him start another butt, and then raised up under his flying body with both fists to knock Long clammy and ap ply a body press. Christy took the deciding tumble with a leg strangle In one minute and a half. A shower of cigar butts greeted his departure to the dressing rooms One of the largest crowds of the sea son witnessed the card, which was over at 0:40, earlier than any recent bouts.

X have two shag bsrk hickory nut trees that bore good crops last yesr. X sold some of ths nuts In ths fall and have about eight pounds left. I started the trees from nuts from trees on the Kingsbury place about 94 years ago. Ons tree produces well filled nuts; the other one does not fill good every year. Nuts thst X got from trees on tha streets of Ashland and Eugene were very poorly filled, X think nuts raised hers on accli mated trees would be better to plant than those brought from ths east. X am raising almonds, filberts and Franquette walnuts successfully on my ranch at the Nell Creek school house. JACKSON OYOEH. Local Politic vs. Townaendlte, To tha Editor. I want to comment on two Towns- end Items that are different and yet closely related. Lost week I attended tha Townsend convention In Eugene. The most dra matic Incident waa the reading of Senator McNary's answer aa to his stand on the Townsend plan. We had looked forward for that answer for weeks and when the moment came and during the reading, and for a few seconds after, you could hava heard a pin drop anywhere In the large armory, and then 700 delegatea and visitors broke out In a simultaneous, low, very emphatic "boo." I'll never forget It. Senator McNary must have lost a lot of sleep over that letter, and I will venture to say that he wishes he had It back. It can only mean that the entire Townsend vote will be against him. But here la where the rub comes: The Townsendltes are definitely Instructed to let polltlca strictly alone, and every Townsend club baa a potential senator. I know of a half dozen already who hava shown aaplratlona that way, and there will be more. Now. If these are all going to be allowed to run It will divide the Townsend vote Into so many pieces that McNary will win the nomination anyway so much for that. The other Item la the letter from national headquarters, printed In the last Issue of the "Times," giving the order that no Townsendltes were to take part In local politics, that all ef fort waa to be centered on tha U. 8. congress so aa to get the Townsend plan enacted Into law. . Now, I want to ask, what In the world are we going to do with a Townsend law if there la no attention paid to waya of enforcing It? And who are going to enforce It If It la not tha local political aspirants all over the country, especially the judicial and law enforcement side of politics. Wo have the 18th Amendment to our Constitution now. It is there and alwaya will be, but what has become of It? Nobody enforced It. It win be comparatively easy to get the Townsend plan enacted Into law wwmm "I UIHS SKEPTICM. BUT UOU GOtlUIIlGED R1E!" "You said Hood River Appla Brandy is a good base for ANY mixed drink. I tried it you're righrl" "You said Hood River Apple Brandy is a high quality liq uor at a reasonable price.

No, I can't quite agree with those ordera. The Townsendltes are going to have to wake up. The Townsend plan can be tn full working order and op eratlng in about a year from now, if all Townsendltes are aggressive and alert to all phases of the forward move, but If It Is going to be only a half done Job I am afraid It will take a long time. Now, this does not mean that some of us sggresslve Townsendltes are go ing to Jump tha traces. We will have to obey orders, but we cannot do any thing but face facts as we see them, The Townsend campaign will have to go forward along lines laid down for us by national headquarters. OEO.

Adequate military preparedness as a preventive of wax waa urged by Ueut. Lyle P. Wilcox, president of Rogue Valley chapter. Reserve Offu cers association, in a talk before the Veterans of Foreign Wan at their regular meeting last night. Lieut. Wilcox appeared before the veterans In connection with the "Ka tlonal Defense Week" program spon sored by the Reserve Officers associa tion. "Past history shows us that wars; of aggression have always been waged I by the strong against tha weak. If( we do not wish to Invite aggression from a hostile nation, we must be adequately strong In our defense," h said. "America Is not concerned with waging outside wars, but we must maintain defenses which will assure us against invasion. The Unitd States Is most favored from a geo graphical and economical standpoint, but with progress In aviation It will be only a short time until our shores will be so vulnerable to attack as those of any other nation. Ueut. Wilcox outlined the provis ions for defense which were made in the national defense act of 1920. but which he said have not been carried out due to failure by congress to ap propriate the sums necessary te ' maintain tlue army and navy at their' minimum strengths consistent with adequate defense.
