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.

cleats and ahoul

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

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.

In writing this obituary to Bill
Morgan's spectacular pigskin career,
there Is no need to mention hts
Medford high record. 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.
