"cleanje" grap pling championship will be at stake onignt when Toon Kites, Elk City, Okla., dropklck specialist, matchea kl faTorlte maneuver agalnat the paeUcular all-around ability of Marshall Carter, former University r Missouri wrestling Instructor, In the top event at the open-air high wool arena. Supplementing the feature billing, Dangerous Danny Savlch will pit his vUlalnoua tactics against the ortho dox maneuvers of Bobby Wagner. Xew Hampshire flash, In the middle rent and Wild Man Zlm will seek bla first Medford win against Bailor Dick Trout In the opener. Two of the cleanest grunt and groanera ever to ahow tbelr wares la this district, the Estti-Coxter squabble Is expected to prove the finest exhibition of straight grappl ing seen for many months. Carter, making his debut here last Monday (renins, gave Danny Savlch prob aibly the neatest lesson In plain and fancy mat work the mean one ever received, and local fans were unani mous In their declarations that the former teacher knew enough answers o Instruot almost any man in the fame. By beating savlch, Carter won the undisputed right to meet Estes for the position of number one trappier In southern Oregon. Enhancing possibilities of the bat tle tonight Is the "grudge" angle, which waa born In Klamath Falls last Tuesday evening when Carter, jefereelng, awarded the deciding fall of tough main event to Dbtuiy Savlch rn his match with Estes. En raged t what he termed a "robbery," Estes told the world that If he ever got "that Carter fellow" In the Tint with him, he would get plenty rren for the raw decision. Be get his chance tonight, and Promoter Mack Ullard expects the largost arowd of the year to turn out. Danny Savlch, who geta meaner with every match, will have his bands full with Bobby Wagner In the middle tangle. Wagner, a big, clean wrestling fellow, knocked off Wild Man Zlmmy last week with not too much trouble, and claims that he has little liking tor any or the so-called "dirt" boys. If that's so, Savlch seems due for a tough arening. Sailor Dick Trout, San Dlego'a gift to the wrestling game, returns to Medford after an absence of several months to face Wild Man Zlm, long halm) maniac, In what may be the acrewy one's final local appearance. Falling to win one start slnoe com ing here month ago, Zlm la on the spot. Another loss tonight, and Promoter LUlard will probably att Zlmmy to be on hla way. Sailor Trout I a clean worker and ex tremely popular with local fans. " jf mil iiiaiiilVaC -Aiii J, . wr-- 1 : ' V ' ' I ,J 'it','-, , , " ' . S .

Big Bill Morgan, probably the roughest and toughest hunk of foot ball flesh ever developed on thl sun ny Pacific slope, ha hung up his cleats and ahoul der pad for good. Bill was in town the other day on his regular swing through western, southern and eastern Oregon In the Interest of the United 8 t a t e a Rubber oompany, and totd us that he had Informed the New Tori O 1 a n ts, protca- a 1 o nal grlddera. that he would be among those missing when the National pro league geta under way this fall. Medford's beat known football eon. BUI gave two reasons why he had de cided to call it quit after a brilliant career. Plrat. and by far the most Im portant, was his lob. he said. BUI is sitting pretty wltn one of the coun try's largest rubber companies. It'a a yoar-round position, has unlimited possibilities for advancement, and what's more, BUI likes the work. Sec ondly, the huge fellow figures 13 yoara belting the daylights out of opposing line and ball-packers I about enough for one gent. Bill real- kfr J ,-. Billy II u If n. ises you can't go on forever, ao Is stepping out and Into the business world under very congenial condi tions. It Is an undliputed fact that BUI Morgan was tlie greatest tack le to ever graduate from Pacific coast college ranks Into profes sional football, which makes alt other brands of the game seem as rough as Urop-the-hand-kerchlef. A big guy weighing 240, bedside, and with no terrific na tional reputation to hamper him (although he was mentioned on several All-American second team selections In lft32), Bill left the rain-swept campus of the Univer sity or Oregon, mid Joined the New York (Hants pro team In 1033. He made good with a ven geance, and that first year saw his club finish second to Bronco Nagurakl nnd the Chicago Bean while BUI, himself, was making the All-Pro second team as a tackle. The following year, 1934, the New Yorkers crashed through to the world's championship, defeating their bitter rivals, the Bears, In the final and title game. It was that year that Morgan was first called by sports writers the "greatest tackle In the world," and It was during that Chicago Bear game that Bill reached the peak performance of all his 13 years of football. Bronco Nagurskl, present heavy weight wrestling champion, was then In his prime as the hardest-hitting fullback In the game's history. He had played with the Bears only a few years following his graduation from the University of Minnesota, where he was twice Alt-American, and was considered by fans, experts and opposing players, alike, ss being literally unstoppable. When Bronc took that ball and moved ahead under full steam, something had to give, and It was almost never Chi cago's human locomotive who did the giving. Bill Morgan, and now, three years later. New York writers are stttl re ferring to Morgan as the only man to aver completely atop Bronco Na- gurskl for 60 minutes. Bill Is very modest about that garpe, although admitting he dtd play pretty wel). Newspaper accounts of the battle stated that -Bill Mor gan nullified Nagureki." Bill claimed luck had a lot to do with it, that Nagurskt couldn't keep hla feet on the wet and muddy gridiron. How ever, Bronco had played on dampish fields before and had done fairly good Jobs of impersonating the "Ir resistible force," so Bill's becoming modesty Is hereby disregarded. New York won the game and It was Mor gan, everybody said, who was almost I alone responsible. When the All -Professional selec tions came out, Morgan was a unani mous choice for one tackle berth on the first team. He was without a peer on offense and defense, the ex perts said, and was also one of the smartest players In the world. The following year, 1939, BUI again was named to the All -Pro first team, even though the Giants were forced to relinquish their championship to Detroit. Last year, with hla team finishing far out of the race he, himself, nursing Injuries the greater part of the season. Bill stayed In there and played a man's game ot football. He received no all-star mention, he saw little action In many games, but he was still con sidered one of the best In the country. Perhaps If BUI were to take another crack at the pro game this year, he would enjoy his biggest geason yet. He's still young enough and keeps him self In excellent condition. But he's not going back. That's defi nite, he says. Although thousands of football fans will regret his re ttrement, there will be no sor row In the ranks of opposing ends and barks. When Bill sock ed them they stayed socked. Also, he certainly can't be blamed for quitting at the top, which Is considerably better than stay ing In there until they have to carry you out reet first.

Everyone al ready knows that he played tackle for four years under Prink Calllson when the Tigers were beating every thing the state had to offer In the way of competition. He followed Cal 'llson to Oregon when Prink took over the freshman rein's there and then performed for three seasons on the Webfoot varsity, making .the all-coast first team twice and cap taining his outfit In 1933, along with Bernle Hughes. But It was while in the ranks of professional football that Bill really found himself ss a great ball player. And,, all we can say Is that If Bill handles prospec tive customers with the skill he dis played In taking care of opposing tackles and ends, the Morgan family will never be out of groceries.
