The game la called for 8 p. m. under the lights at Modoc field. The Tigers may be forced to enter their first Southern Oregon con ference battle minus the services ot Jack am. speed-burning right half back and big Eldon Grow, battering fullback. Hill received kick In the head against Eureka, and Coach Bill Bowerman has been forced to elim inate the speed merchant from con sideration. Orow was taken out ot ths Eureka game with a bruised muscle In his leg, and still can't maneuver like he should. Bowerman stated that both were doubtful starters. Dan Ehrhart and Hubert Santo, tackles, both received leg Injuries but will probably be ready for Klamath Falls, the coach said. Other than those, all Tiger players are In good condition. So far this week, the Tigers have been taking things easy. Afraid ol the possibility - of Incurring more and serious Injuries, Bowerman haa ssaed off In drllla In an attempt to save what man-power he baa left. Klamath Falls won the annual battle laat year, 3-0. Indlvldul scoring records for mem bers of the Tiger team reveal Bobby Bttlnger, .ace left halfback has reached touchdown territory four times In four games and added the extra point once for a total of 3d.

In The Money As Grappling Star Billy Rules Bob Kenaston, Mad Marine of Gold H1U, Is hereby added to our Hat of local gentlemen who have made good In a large way. Three yeara ago the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Kenaston waa Juat another guy In the United States marine corps. Although he waa an orderly to an admiral or something, Lhe was still Just another marine. with about ' as Vwfl much future as il vou would ex pect. Today, Robert Jr. Is one of the nation's top flight grapplers, and his monthly bank account oould be In creasing, on the average. ' at . the rate of 1000 po tatoes per, says Mack L 11 lard, who is a promo ter and ahould know. That's not bad gravy for a fellow who was once an orderly to an admiral. In fact, try and name five college graduates In this village drawing drawing down one grand per month. . Every now and then Robert Jr. returns home for a visit with his folks, which Is the reason local grapple phllhrrtl will get a glimpse of him In action nevt Monday night. He will probnbly stick around for a couple of weeks before hitting the "money" trail back east, and Llllard said yesterday he would appear twice In the armory. Ever since It was made certain Kenaston would, grace the program. Llllard haa had hundreda of requests that hla opponent be Pete Belcaatro. Mad Italian of Weed, Calif., and a roughhouse wrestler In anybody's league. The Impresario said he waa having a little difficulty getting Pete's name on the dotted line for j the match, but that he believed It i could be arranged. Pete. It Is under stood, resents the beating ho took from Bobby Chick last Monday, and Is clamoring for a rematch. However, Llllard figures he can cajole the Belcaatro fellow Into waiting one move week: If so. It will be Kenaston and Belcaatro, definitely. of a power-house attack, amazing strength, surprising apeed, and brains he became a headllner snd really started up the rocky trail. He re mained on the Pacific coast until 1030, then shot the works with a trip to the Atlantic seaboard and the big money. He clicked from the start, and for the past IS months has been packing them In In the large grap pling centers, without doubt, he Is cne of the game's big-timers: Incidentally, Kenaston asked a couple of weeks ago how come his pet maneuver was termed a "Chicago crab" here In Medford when the entire country called It the "Oold Hill crab." Even far In the east, .he said, news papers and fans rceurilp,- tun dangerous nerk-breaklng hold as a "Oold Hill crab." Apologies being In order, here they are; and henreforth sand from now on It's the Oold Hill crab or nothing. We have an idea. Toggery Bill Isaacs, being a real football fan him self, would probably be only too glad to donate the use of several brand new hate. 8o. all you citizens who take your prognosticating seriously, let's gather down there some Monday before next Saturday and draw the winners from those spanking new derbies. How about It? JUNIORS, J'VILLE I Bent on avenging a 14-0 defeat Buffered at the hands of Jackson ville high In a previous meeting. Coach George Harrington sends his Medford Junior high aggregation against Coach Bob Wood's eleven again tomorrow afternoon at Van Scoyoc field at 8:48. The Jacksonville team, loser ol only one game this year, a 18-fl verdict to Olendale high, will aver age 143 pounds per man while the locals will tip the scalea at 141 pounds. In Salsbury. 190-pound tall back. Coach Wood has a fine triple threat performer, and It will be toward stopping him that- Medford'a Juniors will bend sll their efforts. Although falling to crack tne vic tory column to date, Harrington Is far from dissatisfied with hla Jun iors. He says they are Improving rapidly and are about ready to pro vide an upset. Tag Football Goes Great In First Season of Play By County's 'B' League (By B. Applecate.) Due to the hardfelt lack of a satisfactory fall sport, the "B" league schools of the county hsve gone Into the rudiments of six-man football with a great deal of enthusiasm. Heretofore, this league, made up of Tal ent, Phoenix, Rogue River, Gold Hill, Sams Valley, Central Point snd Jacksonville, haa had to leave football to Its two largest members, Cen tral point snd Gold Hill. Not so this season. Not wishing to i Don't fool yourselves.

Dixon, who scouted the Oregon- Southern Cslifornta game last week, satd the Webfoot showed "absolute ly the beat offensive attack I've seen at Oregon In years, and I'm Includ ing Oregon's strong 'Mike Mt kulak team." Besides the sophomores, tha Oregon lineup Includes a number of good Juniors and seniors, and their chief danger lies in an Impossibility of predicting what they might do when thy gain possession of the ball, he added. Kenaston's Is really a perfect ex ample of the "local boy makes good" atory, Leaving his marine Ufa In 1934, he started to grapple profes sionally In the northern part of Ore gon and In Washington.

MAIN AND RIVERSIDE PHONE 231 substitute some other sport for foot ball, Rogue Rtver, Talent and Oold Hill were Imbued with the Idea of playing touch football. And so far these schools have had a very suc cessful season and have derived much unexpected enjoyment from the game The way la now paved for real tackle football for next year If the neces sary equipment can be purchased by each member of the league. Football Takes Money. It takes money to play football; In fact, equipment at lowest prices will run $15 to $30 per man. and In the past the "B" schools have found It hard to stand the costs. To de rive any satisfaction from 11 -man tackle football, a school has to have at least one fairly good team and then a second team to provide both substitutes and scrimmage fodder. Lack of man power has been a com mon grievance In the past to these small schools. This year the solution was found In the new six-man game which Is Just beginning to carry the country by storm. This brand of ball has been played for quite some time In the east and Is well past the experi mental stage. The game requires only six men on a side and Is very much like the regular game except for this one exception. , It Is more of a passing game because the larger number of backfield players In pro portion to the linemen makes it easier to run around ends or gain through the air. Scores will run up much higher for this reason, and, if anything, this adds to the Interest. Same Fundamentals. Fundamentals such as blocking, tacklljig and kicking are the same aa In the regular game. One Im portant rule change specifies that all men but the center are eligible to catch a pass. Of course with only three men on the line this Is almost obvious since the man playing In the middle of the line will be the center and the other two, one on each side, the ends. Since the "B" league schools did not have the equipment necessary for the tackle game, they have substi tuted touch football instead and I wish to say that this game la no bed of roses. Rules, followed by all members of the league, stipulate that the ball carrier must be touched be- . tween the hips and the knes. This makes a little sportier game and a ball player has to practically leave his feet to tag a fast moving man on an end around play. Hard Knocks Remain. Then, too, a certain amount of body ADIO SERVICE On All Makes 90 .day guarantee on al) repalt work w WG BiDI AND AjEjEj ELECTRIC SHOP Next to Boxy Phone 173? contact in the way of blocking is allowed. This means that you've got to get In there hard and pretty low If you're going to be effective and sometimes the men take some pretty hard knocks. Many a player has been sent bouncing In the dirt; you'll no tice that I dont say turf, because some of the fields played on are awfully hard and strewn with fine gravel that eats into your hands when you touch the ground with a little force. So far there have been no casualties tn the conference, but brulseB and bumps are not uncommon. Shows Up Talent. Believe it or not, this touch foot ball shows up potential talent In a hurry. It doesn't take long to see who would make a good blocker and who wouldn't, or a ball carrier or a passer. The greatest thing that can be said for the game 1b that It gives the fellows a chance to learn their football and furthermore there Is something to It In the way of a back ground for players who want to go on to college. I would rather have a man on my team who had several years of touch football under his belt than one who had about the same talent bot no experience of any kind whatsoever. So far. Rogue River, by getting the Jump in an early start, has the best record in the league. By the end of the season things could very well be quite different. Phoenix has lately como Into the picture wtth a team and although they have taken a beat ing from Rogue River they are learn ing fast and ahould give the river men a real tussle later on. Talent, also doing well, has yet to meet Rogue River. This could be any body's game for Talent has been Im proving fast. Gold Hill has suffered two defeats from Rogue River but has a good team and may come out differently when It faces some of Its other rivals. Sams Valley is the only team In the league not playing the game, and I think that practically all the other members of the league are looking forward to playing real tackle football next year. bottles, packing Start collecting unusual Jars and boxes to use In Christmas goodies.
