FOR TIGER TEAIV
Bowerman Taking No
Chances Further Injuries
Before Week End Clash
With Famed Lava Bears
With the exception of one-halt
feour tough offensive and defensive
drill tomorrow afternoon, Medtord
felffh school's Blaok Tornado will
take It easy the rest of the week,
Coaob. Bill Bowerman stated y eater
nay.
The Lava Bears of Bend high,
Oregon's mightiest prep gridiron ma.
Chine, move Into town next Satur
day afternoon, and the Tiger mentor
J talcing so chances of Incurring
further names to the already rather
Harming hospital list.
Although none of the Tigers re
ceived serious Injury in the savage
Klamath Falls battle Friday, the
game didn't help their health any.
Every member of the Tornado was
shaken to his toes by the shocking
encounter.
"They look drawn and tired," the
head man stated. "They will receive
nothing but easy dummy drills and
aerial maneuvers, both offensively
and defensively for the remainder
of the week."
Minor casualties In the Klamath
affair were Red Boot, blocking back
who received two severe bruises, snd
Warren Bayllss, another blocking
quarterback, who was battered un
mercifully. Bowerman took blm out
of the game In the third quarter,
practically out on his feet. He will
take It extremely easy this week.
Both should be resdy to go against
the Lava Bears, however.
Eldon Grow, who was a greet
fullback against the Pelicans, bruis
ed leg-muscle and all, received no
aggravation to the hurt, and la In
fair condition. Dan Ehrhart, huge
tackle, played the entire affair with
a sprained toe. He also, Is OK now,
and both will be In top condition
for the greatest test of the year.
Practice yesterday consisted ot
nothing more than Umberlng-up
xerclses and signal drills. And. so
It will be with almost no exception
the remainder of thla week. The
Tigers have passed the stage where
mi neea orutai man-to-man scrim-
mage, and from now on out will
oonoentrate on gearing their plays
to a keen pitch and assimilating
new oiienaive maneuvers.
Coach Bowerman was highly pleas
ad with the way his forward wall
perrormed against the Pelicans, es
pecially when It held for downs
within Its seven yard line and
agslnst the battering Dominic Qlo-Tanlnl.

SANTA CLARA LEAVES
FOR CHICAGO TONIGHT
SANTA CLARA. Oct. 38. (API
rreah from a 7 to 0 triumph over
Loyola, University of Santa Claras
unbeaten and untied football team
will entrain tonight for Its game
with Marquette at Chicago Friday.
Thlrty.five players will make the
trip.
A workout was planned for Wed
nesday at Denver and another upon
arrival at Chicago Friday morning.
Before a screeching crowd of mat
addicts that Jammed the Medford
armory to the celling. Bob Kenaston
of Gold Hill took apart Pete Belcaatro
of Weed in a wild-eyed mam event
laat night, grabbing one fall after 13
minutes of action and winding things
up four minutes later. Belcaatro, a
bsdly beaten grappler, managed to
win one fall Is 16 minutes.
In the other half of the main event
Bobby Chick hoisted Olen Stone to
hi shoulders and gave him the bust
neaa In the form of 14 complete
revolutions of the airplane apln, end
ing the squabble then and there.
. Frankle Clemens beat Frankle Mur
dock In the opener, taking two out
of three falls.
That bout between Belcaatro and
Kenaston had everything, or enough
anyway, to send the capacity house
Into near hysterics time after time.
The Mad Marine from Gold Hill col
lected the first tumble 13 minutes after
the opening gong, and after Belcaatro
had opened the book wide. Including
the page that explains how to pick
ngnu witn tne rereree. Raging mad.
Pete resented the actions of Referee
Earl Toakley In attempting to keep
things on a clean basts, snd the two
stsged a knock-down-and-drag-out
set to before Kenaston pushed Yak
ley aside and started to work him
self. It waa then that Kenaston ap
plied a Boston crab to the Italian,
the hold being set up when Belcaatro
missed fire with a dropklck and
landed on his back.
Four minutes later, Kensston had
the match. Before the end, however,
Pete tangled with a ringside spectator;
Pete kicked Kenaston outside the
ring. Pete batted Referee Toakley
around the arena, and Pete went
nuts. Belcastro's brawl with the cus.
tomer started after Kenaston had
dumped the Mad Italian Into the
first row ringside. Crashing into
the lap of a rather small gentleman.
Pete apparently lashed out with his
feet, catching the patron on the but
ton. Tne latter worthy came up
fighting, and he and the Belcaatro
fellow traded rights and lefts In a
wild flurry before Pete finally ran
for the ring. Just as the law appeared
on the scene.
Back In the arena, Kenaston start-
ed awlnglng terrific haymakera to
Belcaatro s cranium, and when It ap
peared Pete waa ready to die like a
man, he suddenly grabbed the Gold
Hlller and flopped him with a re
sounding body slam. The ref tapped
Pete on the back, and that waa evi
dently that.
However, as the Italian rose un
steadily to his feet and turned to
ward his corner, Kenaston attacked
from all aides, mostly from the rear.
and crushed the Callforntan In a
Gold Hill crab. The, fall was over
and time was supposed to be out,
but Kenaston paid no attention. He
poured It on while the orowd went
off their beans, and when Toakley
finally got Kenaston off Belcaatro,
the latter was through for the even
ing. Unable to answer the gong for
the third and deciding fall. Yoakley
awarded the match to Kenaston.
It wsa the prize acrewey decision
of all time, and grapple fana today
are atlU wondering how It happened.
Apparently time means nothing to
Yoakley, for when Kenaston attacked
the Italian. It waa auppoeed to be
the rest period between rounds.
The Stone-Chick affair waa also a
honey, with the reputedly villainous
stone watching his Fs and Q's until
near the end of the match. He fin
ally cut loose with plenty of foul
punches, etc., and Chick came right
back for more. The end came after
Chick bad battered Stone to the car
pet at least a dozen timet with rab
bit punches. When Bobby figured
Glen waa ready for the spin he went
to work.
In the opener, Murdock took the
first tumble In the second round
with a figure-four leg-breaker. Clem
ens evened the count In the next
csnto with a sktn-tbe-cat, and won
In the fourth with a body slam. It
waa a clean and scientific match.

Razzle-damle plays an Important

BOWLING
ter 1
it' A
tlly Hnlea
If reports from all parts of the
state mean anything, Medford hlgh'a
Tigers can consider their peat foot
ball encounters
m e r e ly warm
up sffslrs com
pared to what
they will face
Saturday after
noon when
John Londahl
brlnga his mighty
Bend Lava Bears
to town.
Trusting that
Coach BUI Bow
erman's charges
won't get stage
fright upon read
ing this, let's
take a look at
some highly Interesting records and
angles of the team the entire state
ot Oregon Is calling "one of the
greatest In history."
First, and probably the most
startling record carried by the
Lava Bears U their won and lost
percentage over a period of two
years. It It a matter of cold fact '
thst In the last 21 football games
played by the eastern Oregon ag
gregation, they have not tasted
the bitterness of defeat. Laat
year, Klamath Falds managed to
gain a tie with the Lava Bears,
but In all other games the team
powered Its way to victory. This
season, so far, Bend has tram
pled six straight opponents, run
ning op 176 points to 13, and
has not even been pressed, with
the possible exception of the
opening 6-0 game against Lincoln
high of Portlsnd.
Some expert opinion aa to Bend's
great aggregation was reported by
Frits Kramer, Eugene high coach
who was scouting the Klamath Falls.
Medford game lost Friday night. Kra
mer hod seen the Lava Bears defeat
The Dalles and Corvallls previously.
and he remarked that this year's
Bend eleven was better than his own
Eugene team laat year. It will be
remembered that the Axeman last
season whacked every opponent with
the greatest ease and wound up by
lacing Medford, 44-0. My, oh, my.
If what Kramer says la true, let's
start praying now for the Tornado.
However, since thst Klamath
Falls rune, we Just can't see our
selves climbing off the Tiger
band wagon completely. Bower
man's team may get beat Satur
day, everything points that way,
but we can't see the Tigers get
ting a disgraceful drubbing.
Maybe they will, but we are from
Missouri, and so are plenty more
local phllherts. Bend has got to
show It first before being ac
claimed the victor.
There Is only one team that can
provide a basis for compsrlson. by
scores, of Bend and, Medford The
Dalles. Klamath Fella lost to The
Dalles, 6-7, while Bend defeated the
same team, 37-7. Therefore, on com
parative scores. Bend Is 31 points
better than Klamath Falls. Aa Klam
ath Falls and Medford battled to a
scoreless tie, Bend Is therefore 31
points better than Medford. A guy
In Ashland once, though, figured out
that the SONS were 103 points
stronger than Notre Dame, by com
parative scores. It waa all down In
black and white and correct, to be
lieve In this comparative score busi
ness If you want. None of It for
ours.

"I saw the same thing, five minutes later, for a lot lest
money."
How often are you haunted by thoughts like these?
There's a way to banish such ghosts . . . and it's right
here in this newspaper . Read the advertisements.
They'll tell, you ALL, before you buy. You'll know

underwear. There's scarcely a thing you need or use
in daily life not mentioned in the advertisements!
