As you may have noticed, this de partment was fooled completely out of the play Saturday and left to wan der morosely about, contemplating that prediction of ours that the Medford-Orants Pass football game was to be a "close battle", a "terrific struggle", a "meeting of two power ful offenses", and other such verbose assurances. . That's not the first time wn choked on our own adjectlvea. one time we called a meeting of lony Catalino and the Masked Marvel as perhaps the greatest orgy that the world bad seen since the San Francisco earth quake (and fire). It should have been. But the two meanle wrestlers must have read the reports on how tough the other guy was, and the oout went off with the two shying away from each other as though they had the leprosy, they were that scared. Promoter Mack Llllard fired both of them, and with good cause. It was a good thing for us he wasn't our boss, or he'd have fired us, too. For a lot of fans were dis appointed. Perhaps some of the esti mated 3200 people at last Saturday's football game were disappointed, too. It so, they shouldn't be. While they oldn't see "the meeting of two power ful offenses", they did see one power ful offense in action. They got to see little Baker, Medford's vest pocket model of the perfect gu&rd shunt that Climate City beef trust around with no more respect than a stock yard auctioneer uses on his, material. Baker, for all his lack of size. Is tbe answer to a coach's prnyer and showed It Saturday. We ran distinctly remember when people used to ralae their eyebrows when Coach Bowerman predicted a great football future for linker. About the only thing tbry raise their eyebrows about now Is when Baker falls to kill an oppo nent when he tackles hlra, or falls to open a hole big enough to park the Graf Zeppelin. For all our getting orossed up on cur last prediction, we're going to venture another, anent the Klamath Falls game here Saturday. W haven't forgotten Klamath's squawk after last year's game, and their assertion that Bowerman was lucky, the Med ford team outweighed the Pelicans vastly, and the officials robbed Klam ath to give Medtord the game. After that squawk Bowerman. of fer for them to come on owr here cn the next week-end and get them celves a good round 60-0 beating was oecllned. But they'll be here the end of the week, and we think they'll get the beating In all Its glory. Not sim ply because Medford has a better team, which they nave, but becauae the Medford players are white-hot mad at them. Any Medford fan who muv, fhn trama will have to confront his conscience alone alter the fray. They've oeen lorewarned. eo conji dent are we of a Medlord win that two or more rash bets call for oddB of 2 to 1. and the giving away of 33 nnintjt Hnma win confirm the earlier suspicion of others that Applegate Is nuts. Tex Balkeld, colorful manager of Buzz Brown, northwest feath erweight champion, Is not regard ing his fighter's chances tonight with too lenient an eye. He sa)S his scrapper Is by far the best boxer, and also the best fighter, ' but that his opponent, Mustola, has a wild, swinging attack that might upset calculations and put . Brown down for the count. He doesn't think that will happen, but says It might. Brown has been fighting almost eight years and that hasn't happened to him yet, so Air. Balkeld may as well compose himself. Incidentally, or maybe It Isn't in cidentally, tbe Portland boy's man ager says that all boxing needs to put It back In the limelight Is a good white-hope heavyweight, capable of slapping Joe Louis dizzy In a con vincing manner. Louis he classifies as a good fighter but not a great one, with a stralght-ln attack that la nard for the average clouter to solve "A good white hope would be worth a r-alf million", he declares.
