already sparkling ability, the spin has

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.

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."

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

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

Undoubtedly the reason for the
failure of fnns to appreciate the
little fellow Is his lack of color.
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

Bobby is a money player, no doubt
about it. And, ho is also tho greatest

the Tigers in years and years, in
Medford's two important gamea so

cally valuable players who can go the

against Eureka Friday night he found

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.

Isn't exactly playing cricket with Old

Oompert waa troubled with his
cows crawling through an ordinary
barbed wire fence, so he put up a

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

This praise of ettinger could

I. Flckem, world famoua prognostl
eator of pigskin encounters, has been
giving himself the dirty end of
things. 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. Oregon, named to
upset Southern California, 13-13, was
defeated 34-14 when a guy named
Ambrose Shandler acted like the
Webfoot goal Una was magnetized.
with uncanny Judgment, I.
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. Plckem had named Idaho and
Navy to win. Washington-Washington
State and Oregon state-UCLA
games both ended 7-7. I. Plckem
