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.

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.

Billy Hulen Says:
Mikulak Giving
Webfoots Punch
Morgan Asserts
Iron Mike Mikulak, who formerly
did a whole lot of full-backing for
Prink Calllson's University of Ore
gon football club, la proving to be
Ju&t what the doctor ordered for the
Webfoots offensive Ills, according to
one of Medford's best-known ath
letic sous big BUI Morgan. ,
BUI woe In town over the week
end In the Interests of the United
States Rubber company, for which
organization he Is "playing bull"
st the present time, and he brought
word direct from Eugene where this
year's Lemon Yellow and Green
plgftkln aggregation la getting In
ahopo for the I all campaign by sev
eral weeks of tough spring practice
Bill had plenty to say regarding
Calllaon's outfit. 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-

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.
