Belcastro Tangles With Paralyzer Expert in Mat Card Main Event

Fans Look for Fireworks
When Mat Villains Collide
Grappling fans of Medford and
elnltr. who like their mat action
featured by villains, will receive tbelr
nonej'i worth tonight at the Meo
ford armory when Promoter Mack
Ullsrd preterite his regular Monday
awning program of pain and punish
ment. Xn alt three squabbles at least one
grunt and groaner wl! be on hand
to satisfy those who demand plenty
of blood and thunder, end In the
middle bout It will be unanimous,
with Les Wolfe facing Gorilla Fogl.
. Climax of the weekly card, which
Promoter Llllard figures will pack
them in. will be furnished by Weed's
adad Itallsn, Feta Belcastro and the
Indian wonder boy from Oklahoma,
frankie Clemens. Quite an upset
occurred last week when Clemens,
appearing here after an extended ab
sence, failed to paralyze Marshall Car
ter Into submission. It marked the
first time In local history that Clem
ens had missed with bis excruciating
Indian paralyzer, but at that, it was
the bell that saved Career from de
feat. A clean wrestler, Clemens will
be facing probably his toughest test
lp Belcastro, who whscked Les Wolfe
to a fsre-thee-well last Monday.
Consensus Is that If Frankie can
maneuver the sly and vlolous Pete
Into his pet punlsher, the mstch will
be over.
' To open the csrd, Impressarlo LU

Upstanding American gentleman with

switch his moniker recently to be
able to ply his nefarious trade at all,

Billy Hulso Says:
I. Pickem Gloats
As Grid Guesses
Increase Fame
Mr. I. Pickem, the world's greatest
prognoatlcator of pigskin emhroglloa,
modestly ateps forward today to re
ceive the acclaim due him. Against
odds only a
bunch of crary
football teams
can produce, the
oel ebrated I.
Pickem knuckled
down and batted
out seven win
ners In 13 trips
to the crystal
bail, and la Just
ly proud.
Until Saturday,
the old percent
age was on the
verge of shrink
ing Into some
thing resembling
Illy Hulea
what you get for letting the govern
ment take care of your do-re -ml. Now,
however, the Pickem fellow can look
with disdain upon those of you who
flip ft coin or grab from a hat. To
date. Including games of Saturday
and Sunday, and strictly officially,
the average Is a neat .628. That comes
from correctly putting the finger on
19 battles out of 36 during the past
three hectic weeks.
To quickly get the bad news over
with, here are the five encounters that
spoiled I, Pickem from reaching the
ultimate In prognostication. Southern
California's Trojans. Instead of los
ing to Ohio State. 14-0. defeated the
Big Ten school, 13-13, Notre Pa me
forgot to turn on the heat and was
held to ft scoreless tie by Illinois In
stead of rolling to four touchdowns.
In the same category waa UCLA,
which didn't send Washington, color
ed back, Into enough action and was
whacked by an underdog Stanford
outfit, 13-7. The Bnilna were selected
by Mr. Pickem to win. 10-8. Of course,
I. Pickem missed fire on the Oregon
State-Washington surprise, he stat
ing that the Huskies would cop by
31-0, and lo and behold. It was 0-3
In favor of Joe Gray and Joe Wend
lick of the Stlnermen. But, who
dldnt miss on that one? (Quiet,
Prank Perl, quiet.)
This one remaining football game
X. Pickem really U ashamed to
mention. St. Mary's 43. Nevada 0.
That, boys and girts, was Mr. Pick-
em's big upset for the week. He prog
nosticated the Wolf pack from Reno
would up and trim the OaoU. 7-8
Oh well, maybe next week the crystal
will not be so cloudy around the Bay
district.
Now for the good news. Medford
high came through as expected, by an
overwhelming win. Figured to trounce
Crescent City with esse, the Ashland
Or) wiles did It by only 8-0. However,
the winner was picked. Oregon's Web
foot did far better than was expected
of them; 40-8 waa the count Instead
of 13-13 as figured. California may
really have another "wonder team"
at that They defeated W. 8. C, 37-0.
Instead of by 13-7. but again, the
correct thought 1 there. Idaho was
named a 6-0 winner over Utah and tt
was 9-7; Santa Clara waa figured 31
14 over San Francisco and they dta
It. 13-0: and lastly. Army wa named
to win 14-7, and the actual count was
31-18. over Lou Little's Oolumbla
club.
And now that the above U done

And, no kidding. You guys who have
read this far. name somebody who
honestly picked Oregon State over
Washington. You can't do It, because
It just waan't bcli dou. AUuck

Hi

Step up Mr. Frank Perl and take a
bow. Ladles and gentlemen, believe It
or not, the aforementlonel citizen ac
tually selected the Beavers of Oregon
State to wallop the Huskies of mighty
Washington. And Frank Perl didn't
do It Just by tongue, either. He placed
a perfectly good American half-dollar
on the counter, and Mr. I Pickem
almost tore off a stool getting like
wise alongside. The master of them
all didn't ask any odds, cither. It waa
even up.
Said Frank, "Washington will be
over-confident."
With that lengthy analysis of the
respective power of the two teams, he
took his pick. He also took I. Pickem.
It's funny, though, that nobody else
in the country could foresee that the
Huskies might possibly be Just a lit- j
tie over-confident.

Week-end games In the Southern
Oregon conference saw the Pelicans
of Klamath Falls slide Into a tie
for the top spot with Ashland by de
feating Grants Pass, 18-0, Friday
night at Grants Pass while the Griz
zlies an d Med ford's Black Tornado
were taking on outside opponents.
Displaying a terrific offensive
punch, Coach Bill Bowerman 's Tigers
roared to a 39-7 win over Roseburg
In a Friday night game at Roseburg.
Saturday afternoon, Ashland scored
once to defeat Crescent City. 6-0, at
Crescent City.
To PolUh Passing
The Black Tornado will this week
prepare for the invasion of the pow
erful Eureka high eleven at the sta
dium. Fairly well satisfied with the
performance of the ball club In the
Roseburg battle, Coach Bowerman
stated he would place special empha
sis on polishing the team's offense
and defense. .Medford threw only two
passes In the game, one being com
pleted and one Intercepted, and the
bead man figures they should do
better than that.
Pitifully weak on pass defense
against Hood River two weeks ago,
the Tigers boasted a great defense
against overheads with the Pirates.
Roseburg, Bowerman said, attempted
over 30 aerials and completed only
five.
Casualties were held to a mini
mum. John Chllders, second string
guard, received a sprained ankle for
the most serious Injury. Jack Bow
man, regular halfback, hurt his
shoulder slightly, and Grow received
bumped knee. Other than those,
the Tigers came through In great
shape.
Ettlnger Scores First
Medford scoring was distributed
evenly In the Roseburg rout. Bobby
Ettlnger broke through center in the
first quarter for a 38-yard gallop to
pay dirt for the Initial Tiger tally.
After Roseburg tied the score, Eldon
Grow received the klckoff and raced
80 yards to the goal line. Red Root,
on a quarterback sneak, got Med
ford's third touchdown, going 34
yards to the end cone. Bob Newman.
Just before the half-time gun, got
off for a 60-ysrd touchdown canter.
In the third period, Jack Bowman
reached scoring territory after power
plays, and Rodney Stead scored the
final slx-polnter after a blocked
punt.
IN TRAMPLING S.O.N.S.
EUREKA. Calif.. Oct. 11. An
Impressive 34 to 0 victory over South
ern Oregon Normal school of Ashland,
Ore., sent Humboldt State college
grlddera off to a flying start Sstur
dsy for their 1937 season.
Two touchdowns In the first pertod.
one In the second and two more In
the fourth, accounted for the score,
with Earl Meneweathor, Colorado
halfback, setting the pace with bullet
passing and flashy runs.
Southern Oregon's threat In the
third period ended when Humboldt
held on their two-yard line. A 60

NEW YORK, Oct. 11. (AP) What
baseball needs Is a program to plow
under every second or third Yanaee
and give the game back to the com
mon players.
Every club In the American league
would vote for It. The Giants, nome-
runned to death, 4 to 3, In the filth
and final game of the world series
yesterday at the Polo Grounds, woaua
stuff the ballot boxes.
If something like that Isn't done
It will be difficult to generate much
enthusiasm In the 1938 world series
next October, when the Yankees, no
doubt, will prepare to take another
luckless National lesgue team apart
Won Last Five.
Twice before the Yankees reeled
off three straight pennants before
tapering off. They nave now been
victorious in their lsst five world
series appearances and won six alto-
cether. which tops any otner ciud id
baseball history. Up to this year the
Yankees were tied with the Red Sox
and Athletics, at five world cham.
Dlonshlps each. They have now won
20 of their last 23 lnter-league games.
Only the Giants have been able to
give the Yankees any sort of an
argument at all tn tne woria senea,
and that debate hasn't lasted very
long In two years. Maybe the Na
tional league ought to consider break
ing off relations entirely.
In all seriousness today, however,
baseball men generally agreed the
Yankees aren't doing the game any
good, and that some means of put
ting graphite under the Juggernaut's
wheels would be welcomed by every
manager and owner In the two major
leagues except Col. Jacob Ruppert. ,
Ruppert Disappointed
The colonel, who Is reputed to be
down to his last 17 million In ready
cash and negotiable securities, was
almost heart-broken because his boys
failed to make It four straight on
Saturday.
The Giants, on the other hand,
failed dismally In almost every de
partment. They made . nine errors,
every member of the infield con
tributing at lenet one and Dick Bar
tell, their upsrkplug shortstop, muff
