One of the game's finest grapplers, Chick will return to Med ford after an absence of over a year. Since leav ing southern Oregon, the older broth er of Dude has perfected an airplane spin the- equal of any. Added to his already sparkling ability, the spin has made Chick one of the most capanle workers In the country.

Newalnd SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 18. (API- Major battles of the far western football season will be fought thla week-end. At the halfway point of a schedule already marked by some of the most stunning upset In years, the games bring together all eight members of the Pacific Coast conference. The re sults oan either shape the champion ship race more decisively or scramble It Into the condition of a well stirred egg. Undefeated, untied University of California, the team all the rest want to beat and must to keep It out of the Rose Bowl, faces Its most formidable competition thus far. The University of Southern California Trojans will be on the opposite side of the field when they line up at Berkeley. Expect Huge Throng Not much tradition encompasses the contest but a sectional rivalry or extreme proportions annually as sures a tremendous representation In the rooting sections. Between 60.000 and 78,000 fans likely will give their chords overtime workouts on this day. Hopea of the U. 8. C. cohorts will rest on the shoulders of Quarterback Ambrose Schlndler, sparkplug of the attack and one of .the leading ball luggera on the coaat. California supporters pin thelr falth on the same team which stopped Schlndler and Southern Cal ifornia 13 to 7 last year. The power of Coach "Stub" Allison's Bears Is undeniable. Northern fronts will set the stage for struggles between Stanford and Washington and Oregon and Oregon State. Stanford, I!. 8. C. Tied Stanford, showing signs of reju venation after a stumbling start, Is tied with U. 8. O. for second place In the conference standings at one win and one defeat. An Inspired 13 to 7 victory over the University of California at Los Angeles team a week ago heartened Stanford backers who look for further success with Washington aa the next victim. Washington failed to Impress last Saturday, being forced to come from behind to tie Washington State, 7 to 7. Oregon State, bounding back into contention, downed Washington 8 to 3 and tied U. 0. L. A. 7 to 7 In Ita last two engagements. On the basis of Its performances It likely will be the popular favorite to whip Oregon for the second successive year. The fourth conference test of the day will pair off Washington state and U. C. L. A. In the south with" ths latter holding the upper hand In pre-game slwj-ups. AU other things being equal, warm weather condltlona may handicap W. 8. C. St. Mary's entertains University of Francisco. Sport Graphs St. Billy Hulen Sayi: Bashful Ettinger Real 'Meal Ticket' On Bowerman Team IMS' ' : r Medford high school's Black Torna do football machine may be a bit disappointing so far to some down town "quarterbacks," but not sc little Bob Sttln CTTfl 8r, one ol the who ever wore Tiger trappings. Playing his third and final season for Coach Bill Bowerman, the 165 - pound thunderbolt has done all expect ed of him by coaches and fans alike, and a good bit more. Fig ured at the start of the season to be slightly over-shadowed by other more colorful ball-carriers, Bobby, to date, has been practically the entire noise so far as the Tiger offensive Is concerned. He is really the only one of several highly - publicized backfleld gentlemen to come through as expected. Ettlnger's n a peculiar case. Actually the most valuable player of the Tor nado team for the past three seasons, he has never received the credit due blm. He has been Coach Bowerman's "meal ticket" performer every year but nobody, apparently, has realized the fact, except Bowerman, himself. In the coach's own words, "Ettinger was the finest Medford player last year, and will be again this season." Billy Rules BOWLING CLEVELAND (UP) Swimming ex perts believe 17-year old Helen Perry, now a freshman at Lake Erie col lege, Is the likeliest successor to Eleanor Uolm Jarrett as queen ol backstroke champion. The former Cleveland high school girl already holds three national amateur athletic union Junior titles the backstroke, the high-board diving and the 100-yard free-aiyie swimming championships. That, In addition to an impres sive list of district honors, glvea her a grand total of 17 titles. 14 of which are A. A. U. ratings. She holds records In rree-siyie, medley and breast-stroke competition, as well as In the backstroke. Her coach, Ross Bocack Burke, director of the Ohio Women's Swim ming association, thinks the back stroke Is Helen's best bet In her bid for championships. portla1Funiversity trampled by broncos SAN P1UNCI8CO.

He goes about his excellent work with absolutely no fanfare. He never gets hurt; hence the scar slty or his name being thundered from the rooting section. He seems to remain quietly In the background always. In fact, jou would nevei realize Ettinger Is out there until, suddenly, there he Is. streaking for the oppo nents' goal line Willi the plgsktn turked under his arm. Bobby is a money player, no doubt about it. And, ho is also tho greatest "breakaway" runner to perform for the Tigers in years and years, in Medford's two important gamea so itr wiia season, it nas been Ettinger aione wno really transferred the mall to Its correct destination. He Is 'one shot" back, one of those terrifi cally valuable players who can go the entire distance in a single blast Against Hood River he busted off tackle and wont over 60 yards: against Eureka Friday night he found a hole at guard and traveled 68 yards to tne goal line. Once Bobby gets In tho open you might as well ring the gong, because he'a not being caught, nor seldom even touched. He runs the 100-yard dash In 10 seconds flat, which is the reason you won't be seeing Bobby dragged down from behind this season. According to Coach Bowerman. Bobby Is almost too modest and un assuming for his own good. "He would rather get out there and do the-blocking for other ball-carriers than carry the ball himself," Bower man stated early in ths season. That, more than anything else, re veals truthfully the greatness- of Bobby Ettinger. He Is all for the team and absolutely nothing for himself. He la, in fact, almost too good to be true. But, ask Coach BUI Bowerman or any of the Tiger play ers about him. They'll make this little speech of praise sound like a criticism. 8COTTSBLUPP, Neb. (AP) This Isn't exactly playing cricket with Old Bossle, but Herman Oompert. a far mer near here, aaya It accomplishes the desired aim. Oompert waa troubled with his cows crawling through an ordinary barbed wire fence, so he put up a single strand and charged It with electricity. The cows came Into contact with ths wire several times, then refused even to go near the fence. "I turned off the Juice and the cows haven't found It out," he says. "I guess It will work until 1 get another herd." This praise of ettinger could go on mill on. It could be point ed out that he Is a perfect athlete, a roach's football player. He neither smokes nor drinks. He Is always In tup physical con dition, so milch so that In three years he has never been .serl ously hurt. He Is a 4H-mlnilte ball player, and the toughest Utile bundle of left halthack to ever bless any coarh. anywhere. And, he Is so modest that It's funny, thai probably being the main reann for his lack of so called color.

After a perusal of ths works of other plcksters up snd down the coast snd from Mains to Crescent City, It becomes Joyfully spparent that In figuring up the old percent age, ties don't count. To date, I. Plcksm has been counting deadlocks as misses, whereas, other prognostl cators place ties In s separate cate gory and figure only wins and losses In the final reckoning. Although, of course, I. Plckem really should give other "ejperts" some handicap In this business of naming wlnnera every week-end, there have been so many nightmares to date that he, with all ths rest, wiu henceforth tabulate ties In a different column, and arrive at a percentage of correct prognostica tions only on the basis of actual wins and losses. Therefore, to date, and of games of last Saturday, the percentage of I. Plckem reads like thla: Picked Won Lost Tied Pet. 8 34 IS 8 .800 Last Saturday saw I. Plckem cor rectly name tne outcome of five en counters and miss on two; with five more ending In deadlocks. Medford high forgot how to tackle, and was dumped by Eureka, 30-13, Instead of winning 13-7.

Plckem called the turn on the .Minnesota-Michigan battle, Vale and Army, California and Cal Aggies and College of Pacific doubleheader, SONS and Oregon Frosh, and Montana and Man Francisco, the latter being some what of an upset. PI ve ties out of 13 gamea didn't help the percentage any, nor did it hurt under the new system. Idaho and Utah Stats battled to a scoreless tie, aa did Navy and Harvard after I.
