MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1937 Belcastro Tangles With Britt In Tonight's Main Grappling Match PAO"B TWO J 0U USED TO PETE Drop-Kicking Estes Meets Pettigrove In Semi-Wind up McEwen And O'Brien To Collide In Opener. Droplclcking. fiery Pete Balcaatro, the mad Jtallan from Weed, Calif., will tangle with Alvlo Britt, former Junior heavyweight wrestling cham pion of the world, tonight In the main event of Promoter Mack LU lard's weekly mat program at the Medford Armory, and even the moat cynical grapple fan Is forced to ad mit the bout has mighty possibili ties. Uppermost question In, the minds of all and aundry Is simply this: What will happen when Britt starts breaking Belcastro'a arm over the top strand of the ring rope? That arm breaker hold, barred In most states but not In Oregon, Is Brltt's pet. Several near riots have been seen In the local squared circle because of the former champ's Insistence on the use of the much-debatod maneuver. Sinos Britt has been gone from the Medford ring he hns been forced to forego using the painful hold. He has been wrestling In California, one of the states In which the bold Is Illegal, and reports sre to the effect that Alvln has welcomed the chance to return to Oregon so that he could go about his work In his own way, namely, to use the arm-breaker. To those who have the least In sight Into Pote Bclcastro's clmracter. there Is no question as to what will happen when Britt starts his arm breaker business. Time and again Pete has proved that It takes little or nothing to turn him Into a mad man and, when his dandor Is really up, there Is no more deadly grappler In the game than the temperamental Itullan. His forte Is the double barreled dropklck of which he Is a psat muster. Pete has also been ab sent from the local arena for several months and Is ssld to be In the fin est condition of bis career after an attended Jaunt through southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Toxas. The match will be staged on a one hour time limit or two out of three fall basis. Becaua of exereme popu larity of Brut and the box olfloe appeal of Belcastro, one of the moat colorful granplera to ever auueur In Medford, Promoter LUlard expects a capacity crowd. He urges funs to procure their tickets as early as pos sible. The two opening bouts on the all star card will be held under the Australian fall system consisting of six to-minute rounds or the best two out of three rails. In the middle event, Toots Estes, ex-heavywolght champion of the Ha waiian Islands, will tangle with Duke Pettigrove, the huge roughueck from New Orleans. Estes surprised every one last week by knocking off Punny Bavich In two atralght falls. Like Belcastro, Estes la an expert In the art of kicking both feet Into his op ponent's Jowls with such force that aald opponent la usually ready to be pinned to the canvas. Pettigrove, on the other hand. Is Just soother one of those wrestlers who go about their buslneas In as dirty and mean a way as humanly possible. Pat ("Popeye") O'Brien and Cow boy Billy McEwon will lock grips In tlie initial bout of the program, and the set-to should also turu low one of those bodboy-goodboy affairs. Last week O'Brien appeared to be a fairly clean grappler. but word from Kkim ath Palla la to the effect that tlie Irishman Is a villain at heart. There Is no doubt as to McEwon'i status. He Is as clean as they oomo, and with his orthodox wrestling mixes plenty of speed and a vast va riety of holds which stamp him as one of the flneat wrestlers now In this territory.

TO ny sin ff. her Associated Press Kports Writer Tlie folks may bo fed up with Dizzy Dean's wacky words and daffy doings, bub It's a safe bet no one tn 8t. Louis Is going to mind much es long as the great one keeps fogging 'cm In. With all his eccentric antics. Dlz's good right arm Is still the most valu able piece of pitching brto-a-broc In the business toaay. Just as "King Carl" Hubbell dem onstrated last week that be Is back with all his stuff for this year's wars, so has Dlezy the great left little doubt In two starts thfit he Is the No. 1 figure tn the Cords' title hopes. All of which adds up to a continu ation of the most famous pitching warare of the current diamond era, between the Giants' crack lefthander, who pitched a thrce-hlttcr in his first start, and the gas house gang's overworked right-hnnd acc, with two victories to his credit to date. His first time out, Dlz Just toyed with the Cincinnati Reds and fin ished all the way on top. Yesterday ho was really bearing down against the Curds' dangerous rivals, Chicago's Cubs, but the result was unchanged, lie allowed four scattered hits, struck out ten, lot only one man get as far as third and waltzed In with a 4-0 shutout, his second whitewashing. The victory left the Cords with four victories in five starts. Just half a game back of Pittsburgh's powerful Pirates, whose game at Cincinnati was rallied out.

Ue spent a day or so with the former Tiger mentor, cast his eagle eyo over the squad, and came away fairly bubbling over with enthusiasm for the football team of h Is al ma mater, "Hiring Mlkuluk as bai-Jifleld couch wan the smarts thing Orrgnn rou Id have done to rem edy their weak offense.1 Mar gn n sul il. " M Ik has real ly got Uiom tuu-ks Mocking In there, and Boh Smith, rspiH'lully I (Hik ed plenty sweet. Other ball curriers shaping up nicely under Mtkulak's handling were Rowo, the big soph fullback; O ray beat, the sophomore halfbacK who last year with V. ? yearlings literally ran the legs orf all oppon ents; and Dave Gammon, a Junior this year, Morgan stated. Smith, however, looked Ilka the best of the lot, Bill said. A deadly south paw passer, the former Modford high star waa not being drilled on aerials, Morgan reported, Calllmni letting htm toss passes only when he felt the urge. If Mikulak Is doing all the things Morgan says he la. then Orogou seems due for a pretty fair season So long as Prink Calllnon Is at the helm, a good line Is assured; Prink Is one of the finest line coaches In the country, we believe. Tlie trou ble the past two years, and espec ially last season, hns been In the mediocre array of mail carriers. Omgou's cream-puff offensive punch was the laughing stock of the con ference last year, the Webfoots scor ing only one touchdown tn seven circuit battles: that against Stan ford in the 7-7 tie. Titers la no reason to doubt BUI Morgan's word when he claims Mik ulak la making Oregon's backlield Into something other than a name for tlie quartet of guys who stand back of the forward wall. We dont doubt It either, because when BUI Morgan talks football you listen and beiteve. Howevor, it was a mild If not rude, awakening for us to hear that Mike Mikulak was really teaching someone how to play foot ball. Not that M!k dorsnt know foot- 1 .l.-:.. .: . .. Control Regatta Starting (right) club president, are pictured with the hue starting clock which will control the racers. Boats will have five mlnutee to worm up before each race. One minute before stort ing time, the band on the clock will start at sero and the starting gun will crack as the electrically controll ball from "a" to "Izzard,' be does. But It was always our opinion that the big fellow wouldn't make such a hot coach. Why, we can't say for sure, but It was probably because of the fact that he always appeaxed to be Just a great big tough brute who could back up that line Uke nobody's business, and carry the pigskin through said line la the same manner. To get right down to the trutn of the matter, we had never beard of Mikulak being accused of having an over-developed thinking appora l tus. But that was probably because ; he was always bo busy playing foot ; ball be didn't have time to go around popping off about bow much bo knew about the game. Anyway, we queried Morgan along the same line of thought and he gave It to us. "I was kind of doubtful con renting Mlk's coaching ability, also," BUI grinned. "I realized he knew practically alt there was to know about the game, but I wondered If he could lm part that knowledge to the play era. In fart, I kidded hint alwut It after he was appolutcd to the Job. I've sure changed my mind though after watching him drl vc those tiarks aroti nd. llc'U give Oregon a real harkfleld. So, that seems to be that. Well see how right BUI Morgan Is, come this next fall. One thing Is certain, however, and that Is that Iron Mike will have plenty of moral support all over the Northwest, They'll all be pulling for him to maka good as a coach at the Institution where he Is already practically one of the Immortals. Morgan gave out another oholos morsel of football gossip regarding the Brooklyn club in tbe National pro league. Ho said the football U'-ara was as screwy as the baseball outfit, which Is considered suffic ient for the entire national pastime. Because of the press of time, he didn't go into any details (he'll be back In a month and we'll get him then) but he did remark that If Mark Tort. pie had been with any other outfit In th league, he'd have been named the best pro back In the country. Maybe one reason for the left handed tndenclee of the Brooklyn team Is been use Its coach Is noue other than Paul ("Oom-pab") Bchtssler. former Oregon Btate man tor. He always was a queer duck, we understand.
