given a 30 to 0 victory, for the game,
he aaya, la In the bag. He haa ap
pointed 8am Colton as coach, and
Colton hm dipped freely Into hla Of-
floe Boy championship lineup for
what he refers to good naturedly as
nucleus", Said nucleus will find
Campbell at catcher, and with Ray
Blngler, Dick Sakralda, Dick Lewis
snd practically the rest of the Offloe
Roys lineup. He may have s, fat
man here or there for local color, he
admitted,
Sherwood, when advised he was to
, faoe such Impressive opposition,
crowed with glee and admitted that
be had not been napping on the Job.
"They'll have to wear auspendera
tinder their chins to keep from step
ping on them when they see our
team," Sherwood said.
John J, Wilkinson, formerly a pro

to see there Is a minimum of argu
ment. Elks will dig their digits Into the
barbequa starting at 6:30. If their
stomachs hold out they will con
tinue to eat until after nightfall,

Boxing will start at about 9 o'clock

battling. It was announced today
that the lineup for the five a-round
battles will be picked from the cream
of the southern Oregon man power.
Oftloers of the COO who have watch
ed the lads warm up are so Impressed
that they have decided to pick the
main event by lot, rather than try to
settle the question on merit,
Following boxing the Elks will see
two wrestling matches, the first sver
tc be sponsored by the lodge here.
Promoter Mack Llllard haa selected
what he considers his most colorful
battery of four men, for two thtrty
mlnute matches, to be staged under
American rules.
The main event will be between
the beautifully built Joe Hubka, con
sidered by many to be one of the
most colorful and clever, wrestlers In
the game, and Oeorge Craig, the
Tulsa Blacksmith. Longfellow's de
scription of a blacksmith describes
the power-house Crslg In perfect de
tail. To pit against Ruoka's terrify
ing leg scissors, bottoms-up scissors,
flying tackles and other devastating
holds, Craig will again offer his anvil
f.ip, a combination face lift and tight
flying mare.
The opening wrestling struggle will
be between Prince 8111X1 Mlhalekla,
Arabian flash (who lost his match
with Wolfe here Monday when Wolfe
turned dirty after being already
thrashed), against Pat O'Brien, leath
ery but clever Irishman. O'Brien Is
e clean grappler, as Is the Arsb, and
the match Is expected to be out

By DICS APPLEOATE,
Frightened parents along the vari
ous atranda leading to the Senior
high school are locking their Small
ohlldren In the back yarda these days.
Police are getting frequent calls that
escaped convicts are roaming the city
in palrt and doxens. Barbers are
shuddering with cold chills,
The reason? A fair percentage of
the aspirants for the 193(1 football
team have ahaved their domes down
to the point where they look Ilk
Peter Lore In charaoter for a "ghast
ly" role In soms movie, The Idea
originated last year, and Is supposed
to make the shaves ft very tough
character Indeed. Sine football play
ers are supposed to be very tough
characters every little bit help we
auppose.
Only ft few of the very toughest
sacrificed their curling looks during !
the 1095 season. This year the Idea
has gained more secure root snd there
Is ft marked rlae In sheep shear atook
Red Root and Sam Richardson
both end prospects, who may or may
not trust the local hair outtlng fra
ternity decided to do their own work
on each other. If brevity Is the soul
of wit, that accounts for the fact
they're so funny looking, for they
haven't over six Inches of hair be
tween them. Asked what weapon was
used In perpetrating the halrouts,
Richardson swore vehemently that It
was ft hair ollpper and denied stoutly
that an ax and block of wood had
been employed. There are ft few
moth-eaten spots here and there, l
lowlng the nude skull to show
through, but these are evidently over
looked In the satisfaction dsrlvsd
from looking tough. There Is some
move on now to have the regulations
Insisting upon headgear abolished, to
the opposition oan ase how tough
they really are.
This morning we spotted Richard-
son rapidly pedaling hla way toward
his atudtes at ft pace we thought en
tirely foreign to him." The reason
waa that his been was collecting frost
faster than he could rub It off, and
he wanted to get to school In time
to Insert it In the fumaoe before his
first class. He wanted to borrow our
hat, only we left It some place and
can't find It.
Hair cutting Is not new In the
stately halls of Medfnrd't highest
seat of learning, We don't know
how far back It goes as tradi
tion, hut we entered the school
Just ten years ago last week,
equlped with as handome ft head
of greased hirsute as you would
care to see. As we remember It,
we also sported a fuzzy but not
Inconsiderable growth of side
burn. We kept both through the
first year for the simple reason
that we skulked about behind
raillnlors and under desks to keep
from being stepped on for most
of the year, and nobody noticed
what tradition violator we were.
The next year, however, did not
go oft without ft few little hitches
For one thing, we reported timidly
for football, hair glistening In the
afternoon sun In all ita full-blown
magnificence. The stalwart sons of
the gridiron examined us In stupefied
amazement (their attention to ft
spindly-legged sophomore was Indeed
touching) for several days. Serene In
the knowledge that we were at last
making some Impression on the un
couth athletes, we were quite proud
of that first wsek.
We're still a little vague as to
what followed. Some 818-pound
tackle, bucked up by nine men
Just a little smaller, sclird us and ,
wrapped steel rallies around us
from head to foot In order to
oversome our natural resentment
at being bodily attacked, but
other and sundry puminellngs
still remain ft mystery. We emerg
ed from (he clmatlscment with
several gobs of vicious smelling I
and particularly tenacious chew- I
lug gum In our curls. Of course
ws had to have the underbrush
around our ears chopped down
by a barber that night, and by ;
the time be had hewn away the
gum we stood naked-headed and !
ashamed among our fellowmen.
The brawny athletea kept ft suspici
ous eye on us from that point for
ward until our graduation. many years
later, and by the time we got to the
point where our haircuts were no
longer supervised, we were getting
bald and didn't oare much for Oeoiye
Raft colffurea anyway. Our hair war
never any shorter thsn a quarter of
an Inch though, which may account
for the fact that w weren't verj
tough.

(p The ghost of Walter J. Travis,
who laid out the Oarden City golf
course to suit bis skillful game, la
raising hob with some of the world's
most brilliant young players In the
V. S. amateur championship, but
smiling respectfully on many of the
oldsters who are carrying on in the
Travis style,
Five genuine veterans and one
"Junior veteran" remained In the
field of 64 today as the tournament
went Into lte first double header pro
gram. By sundown the original start
ing lineup of 130 will be shaved to
18 for the fifth round of the 40th
championship.
Ths old timers, such a Francis
Oulmet, Max Mars ton, Charles
(Ohlck) Evans, Jr., George Volgt El
lis Knowles and the much younger
Johnny Goodman, who belong., be
cause of his experlenoe, are coping
much better with the exacting par

their Junior.
Thornnon, Smith Out
Because they refused to compromise
with Travis' testimonial, two red
hot pre-toiirnament choices, Hector
Thomson, the British amateur ,ham
plon and Reynold Smith, Dallas
Walker eup star, as well as Walter
Emery of Oklahoma Olty, the 1935
runner-up to Lawson Little were
knocked out of the show. They pass
ed from the championship, oeaten by
leaser light, a they batted the ball
all out of proportion to the bound
aries of the fairways and the brutally-trapped
greens.
Bill Holt, 34-yesr-oId Syracuse, N.
Y., automobile salesman, who knock
ed out Smith after wiping out a
three-hole deficit with a eub-psr 35
on the last nine, met the Oanaolan,
Joe Thompson, In the third round
this morning. Holt and Thompson,
buddies tor years, are camping out
nearby In an auto-tralier.
Goodman Going Good
Hank Kowal of Hamilton, N. Y..
former Colgate captain, who tnu ne
ed Hector Thomson 4 and 9, waa

ton.
Although anyone can fall victim to
an la-hole matoh upsot, the Good

trenched. The blond-haired Omaha
Insurance vendor wno won the open
title three year ago, may prove the
class of the field. A finalist In 1033,
Ooodman In two round prowibiy, has
been In less trouble than any other
player, except Cincinnati's Johnny
Fischer, who has shot par golt for
two days.
With Smith and Thomson reduced
to the statu of spectators, ind Scot
land's flashy Jack McLean tailing as
yet to do anything ete.rtll.ig, (here
waa a lot of support for Ooodman,
