MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREOOK. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1937. Kenaston Picked to Blast Meanie Wolfe in Tonight's Battle Royal PAGE TWO CLEAN QUARTETTE MAY GANG UP ON PAIR OF VILLAINS First Two Eliminated Will Be Paired for Opening of Three One-Fall Bouts Fireworks Expeoted Bob Kenaston. tne Mad Marina from Gold Hilt, the euper-meeole and aoe villain of all tlmt, returns to Medford tonight. Under no more auspicious ctrcura stances could Promoter Mack Lulard hat arranged for the appearance of atenaaton after more than a year In other pastures than those which will feet htm tonight aa he steps in the armory ring with five other wrestlers, namely. Marshall, Carter, Bailor Dick Trout, young Zbysko, Bobby Wagner and Lea Wolfe. Trouble Brewing Underneath the surface of that battle royal, which will Inaugurate tonight's program, trouble Is brew ing. And, It's serious trouble. Les Wolfe, the Terrible Texan and the most despised hombre to ever set toot lnild a squared circle in Med ford, has so upset the quiet and peace of local grappling circles as to make this night about the biggest and most Important since the pain and punishment boys etarted show tng their wares here. For the past three weeka, every customer In the vicinity haa hoped and prayed that someone would come along to blast the detested Wolfe off the grappling h orison. In answer to their demands. Ullard arranged the battle royal, and for good measure he threw In the one man who Is figured to have a chance at knocking Wolfe Into ob livion Bob Kenaston. It's not that the great Marshall Carter la rated Inferior to Wolfe. Par from It, but the general opinion Is that Carter, with all his grappling made, would be at too much a dis advantage agatnst the cruelty and utter disregard of sportsmanship in any form of Wolfe. And, the same goes for Trout, Wagner and Zbywko. all good boya but all too clean and gentlemanly to faoe a villain of the Wolfe oallbre. Cleanles May Osng Dp . So, it loka Ilka Kenaston and Wolfe 111 provide the fireworks. Of course It could happen that Carter, Wagner, Trout and Zbyaako, bating all un orthodox wrestlers sa they do, may decide to pool their grappling ability and wipe out Wolfe and Kenaston with one bold and mighty stroke, which they undoubtedly could man age If they so desired. However, their very nature apparently precludes that possibility: they are all too line sportsmen to tske unfair sdvsntagc of an opponent, no mutter bow meau. As uiuej, the first two eliminated will return for the opener, the next pair earning back for the middle tan gle and the last two meeting In the top squabble. All matceht. following the batle royal, will be for one hour or one fell. Kenaston Onlns "Rap" . Kenaston. since his disappearance from Medford over a year ago, has beoome one of the game's best-known figures. Wrestling In Detroit. Toledo and other eastern and middle western cltlos. ha haa made a great name for himself. Ha haa developed a sensa tlonal airplane apln second only to that of Dude Chick's. Coupled with a devastating crab hold, he Is now rated one of the toughest and most successful workers In the business.

Sept. 3T (AP) Earl (Dutch) Clark often la called the last of the old-school drop-kicking export but neither hla Detroit Ltgna nor any other club In the national profea- alonal grid league haa any monopoly on plaoa kicking ability. Two of the three game played In the major pro circuit yesterday were decided on field goals by placement. Til lie Manton'a perfect kick from 11 Tarda out at a difficult angle gave New York'a talent a 10 to 1 victory, over the previously undefeated Pitts burgh Pirates. Bd Danowskl'a pass to Kink Rich arris gave New York its touchdown, while the Pirates knotted the count on a plunge by Karcia after a blocked punt and a pass Interference. Then Manton booted his field goal early In the final period. Dick crayne booted a 31 -yard placement In the final three minutes of play to give Brooklyn a B to 7 win over the Cleveland Rams at Brooklyn. Qnddard scored a tou:h- down for Brooklyn In the first period but the Rama came back to tie the core before the stanza ended on a plunge by Harry Matte. Cblcago'a cardinals, scored a xirvt period touchdown after Conway Baker ran 30 yards to the enemy 10-yard stripe, then saw the Eagles pull out with a fl-d tie on a final minute touchdown.

Sport Graphs e e e Billy Hulen Sayi: Mr. I. Pickem Has Big Gloat Over Week-End Scores Well, the season's first big foot ball week-end Is history, ' and the funny noise you hear Is the combined grunts, groans and walla of the na tion's "expert" prognostics tors as they struggle to arise from the rub bish of sawed -off limbs at the bot tom of the tree. Even the great L Ptckem. who Friday took charge of this column to give you his weekly 'dozen selections, Is burled beneath a goodly amount of foliage. . Santa Clara 18, Stanford 7. Good ness gracious. Why, It was Impossible for that big Red machine to get bumped off by little Santa Clara. Those tilings were not being done in the best football families. But, that's the score, brother, and so what? And look. Idaho 7, Oregon Stute 6. Now. who would hove believed It? Cera! nly not any of the country's expert plckern, and tliey didn't, either. It was unanimous thut Joe Gray and company would roll over, around and through the Vanduls. There wasn't any doubt about It. But that, also, Is the score, and so what? About the only answer to the "so whats" that we can figure la that It's going to be an upset this season when there arent any upsets. In other words, the big surprises will be saved for the Saturday afternoons when all favored teams come through as expected. . 1 Although rapped on the button along with every other prnguos t lea tor Saturday, Mr. I. pickem it 111 can look you In the eye. Ha named eight out of 12 ball games and returns to do a little gloat ing on several of the amazing turns he called. For Instance, I. Pickem named the high school to wham the alumni, 13-7. when all other gentlemen fig ured the grads to win in a walk. Well, the score was 18-6 for the Tigers, so laugh that off. He also called Ashlsnd to lick Yreko, fl-0. The count was ia-0. And, Oregon to lose to UCLA, 10-31. and the finale was 13-36. That there Is pretty nifty prognosticating In case anybody should ask you. He put hla finger on the Webfoot score and missed the UCLA total by only one touch down. Now on that Washington-Iowa bat tle. I. Plokem ststed that the Hus kies would score three times to Iowa's none. The count was 14-0, j whteh Us not bad In anybody's lesgue. I Mr. Plrkem selected Ohio State to beat Texaa Christian, 8-0. and the Burkeye did It, 14-0. That's oalllne 1 the loser score to the point, or to the no-polnt. Pittsburgh was picked to whack Ohio Wesleyan. Sft-0, and lo and behold, the Panthers were 34 points better than expected, although Ohio Weeleyan scored exsctly an many points aa I. Pickem said they j would. Of course, the famous 1 Pickem called the turn on the U. 8. C. -College of Paclflo encounter and on the Oregon Normal-Paclflc Uni versity brawl. The latter game was j named aa 19-7 for the Wolves and It ! was only 0-0. but the Important Idea j wns the same. Mr. Pickem blushes and bows his head whan anyone mentions either j .iim..i. n , VI. Th.t mime ' I. Ptckem proudly announced Friday aa his super-collossal upaet for thti week. He nsmed St. Mary's to win. 30-14, but the Oolden Bears forgot to be upset. Instead, they poured on the hest and when tt wss ali over the scoreboard read, California SO. St. Mary's 7. Naturally, I. Ptckem miss picked on the Santa Clare-Stanford and Oregon Bute-Idaho nightmares. I The remaining mistake waa that Washlnn(on State-Oonraga ambroitto which ended In a scoreless tie after I.

FAINT HOPE HELD I OF By Kid Feder Associated Press Sports Writer To all Intents and purposes, the Giants mive the National league pen pant tucked away In their weskit pocket, but there's still the bare chance that those big bad Bees from Boston will knock them over the head and take the title right away from them. In fact, the lattt hope for the Cubs, who now trail Bill Terry's Terriers by four games, lies In the ability of the baffling Bees to continue their jinx over the galloping Glante In two doubleheaders at the polo grounds to day and tomorrow. It will tnke a sweep of the four game set, or close to It, to keep the Olants away from successful defense of their crown through this last week of the season. And even that may not do It, unless the Cuba oan knock off the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds in their seven remaining games. As matters now stand, any com bination of six six wins for the Giants, six losses for the Cuba, or a sum making up that total,--clinches the pennant for the New Yorkers. They have 11 games to play, to the Cubs' seven. It's strictly up to the Bees cow. They've already whipped the Olants ten times In 18 starts this year. After they leave the Polo grounds, the Glantfi run out their schedule against the soft touches, the Phillies and Brooklyn Dodgers, who are no longer troublesome. JACKSON ALL-STARS . WIN AT GRANTS PASS Larry Pepper pitched the Jackson county all-stars to a 4-1 victory over the Josephine county luminaries yes terday at Grants Pass in the first game of a double-header. The young righthander allowed only five hits to best Bill Lsnnlng, who spent the past season in the clssa D Arisona-Texas league where he won 13 and lost 11 encounters. Booster Hoffard collected two safeties to lead the Jackson county club. The second battle was called tit the end of four Innings with the score 7-1 In favor of the Josephine county tam. Lowell Brown, Ashland south paw, and Jack Hughes. Medford right hander, worked on the mound against Merle Johnson. George Gitzen caught both gsmee for the Jackson county team. HOW THEY?
