PAfE TWO MTDFORD M'A'TL TRTBTJOT3. MEDFORD. OREGON. MONDAY NOVEMBER 22. 1937. Jimmy Lott Tries Meanie Taming Role in Main EX-GRIDIRON STAR FACES S1LINSKI IN FEATURE EVENT Red Lyons to Tangle With Strelich in Semi-Windup Jarbo and Aho Open Card in Clean Contest In what 1 figured will be one of the most mounding grappling explo sions of all time takee place In the lledford armory tonight when pollen Palooka Joe Smollnskl pits hli un savory tactics against the clean ma neuvers of Alabama's Jimmy Lott In the main event and Ren Lyona, Joplln Terror, faces Steve Strelich of Bollwood In the middle bout. Lone Illy white exhibition of an otherwise blood and thunder program will be furnished by Blc Jarbo meeting Toy Aho of Finland In the opener. Sailor Ole Olson, a wrestling brute himself, will wear the referee's white togs. A nice crowd Is expected to Jam the armory for the aeoond appear ance In over six months of Smollnskl, one of the game's most detested fellows, and the return, after a week's absence, of Red Lyons, the SOS-pound villain who claims he can knock the block off any current grappling gentleman, or otherwise. Promoter Mack Llllard saya advance ticket asles are good. . Pole Has One Coming . Although outweighed considerably, the tough Jimmy Lott, who used to take care of the blocking duties In ths University of Alabama's football backfleld, will enter his msln event go on almoet even terms with the Palooka. In fact, many local addicts believe Lott has what It takes to give Smollnskl the whipping of his life, a whipping the Pole la In great need of atnoe Pete Belcaatro last worked htm aver. Since then, which was way last summer. Smollnskl has enjoyed a satisfactory run of victories and observers figure It Is about time for somebody to up and wham the dick ens out of the scoundrel. Lott really showed clsss lsst week ta battling Bobby Chick to a no-fall deadlock, displaying an effective bead lock that worried the ex-llght tieavywelght champion no end. Whe ther he has the power to stand off ths cruel taotlcs of Smollnskl re mains to be seen, but Medford fans stave their hopes. Steve Faces Meanls Steve strelich, atymled In his at tempt to get a return engagement with Smollnskl after last week's dis grace, must be satlafled with Red Lyons tonight. However, If It Is a villain that the popular leg-artist wants, he will not be dlssppolnted. Lyons, whose sour-faced expression Sever changes as hs goes about his unorthodox and underhanded bus! pees. Is one of the meanest to appear tiers. He, alao, la the victim of a Suppressed desire, having begged for another crack at Chick after that gentleman soundly whipped him a month ago but not getting It when Chick left town. Toy Aho, the popular Finnish wrestler, returns after an absence of several months to face snother clean wrestler In Bio Jarbo. The match la expected to be clean, fast, and scien tific, Promoter . Llllsrd announced today that he had signed Hugh Nichols, former light heavyweight champion of the world for one Medford appear ance next Monday night. Nichols Is ths wrestler who took Bobby Chick's crown away from him. and la rated one of the greatest scientific wrestlers In the world. Sunday Scores By the Associated Press St. Joseph 10, UlSnlle 0.

NEHTAXD BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 33. fAP) California's Qolden Bear, No. 1 foot ball guy In his own territory, searched through the national rec ords today for a suitable opponent to invite for a touchdown scramble In the Rose Bowl, New Year's Day. The Pacific Coast conference cham pions, strongest unit to represent California In nearly a decade, bad a small but formidable list from which to select a team for the classic, which before "bowl" games sprang up like mushrooms, came close to determining the mythical national title. "Best In Bait" If Oregon follows the sugges tion of C. E. ("Tiny") Thornhill, Stanford coach whose team took a 13-to-0 licking from the Benrs Sat urday. Pittsburgh win be Its rival at the big Pasadena encounter. "California easily ts the best team on the coast and should pick Pitts burgh, the greatest team In the east, for the Rose Bowl. Both have what It takes. The whole country wants to see them play," he said. To Kenneth Priestley, graduate manager, will fall the responsibility of picking the opposing team. He won't talk on this especial subject. Among Rose Bowl possibilities are Dartmouth, Pittsburgh, Ford ham, Ala bama and VUlanova. None has been defeated. Dartmouth, Pittsburgh. Ford ham and VUlanova have been tied, Dartmouth twice. Alabama's record Is unsullied. Dartmouth Preferred Although Priestley will not con firm It, It Is believed California would prefer Dartmouth, a member of the "Ivy League" and of unques tioned scholastic rating. Word re cently, however. Indicated Dartmouth would not be In a receptive mood toward an Invitation because of ex aminations falling around the holi days. "Feelera" probably already have been sent out to Dartmouth, Pitts burgh, Fordham, Alabama and VUla nova. Remaining on California's sched ule Is a tentative date to' play Geor gia Tech at Berkeley, December 35. The game will not take place. The schools had an agreement If either reached the Rose Bowl It would nul lify the prospective Christmas Day meeting. While California was clinching the conference title, other league games saw Washington dump Oregon, 14 to 0, and Washington State upset Ore gon Bute, 7 to 0. Another unex pected reversal resulted In previously undefeated Montana losing to Idaho, fl to 0. Southern Methodist hung a 26-to-13 defeat on the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles, groggy from Its most disastrous season In years. Only one conference game remains on the schedule. It will bring U. C. L. A. and Southern California togeth er December 4. Conference Mamllng W. L. Td. Pts. Ops. California a 0 Stanford 4 3 Washington 8 3 Oregon Slate 3 3 Wash.

Thackeray, author of "Vanity Fair," used the name of "Mr. Titmarsh" on the tltle-pogea of his earlv books vS&Lt? vi Sport Graphs Billy Hales Says: Axmen Facing No Walkaway Here Thursday It won't be 44-0 this year. -Much as we would like to place quotation marks around that state ment and point the finger at Sir William Bowerman of Medford high's Black Tornado, It F 7J! can't be done. tf y For the simple I vwS I reason that the Tiger mentor 1 ,w. ance. Therefore, until' the lanky head man of Medford 's neat football machine comes across with such a pre diction regarding the big Thanks giving Day clas itlly ft u lea, sic between Eugene and Medford here next Thursday, those words will have to stand on their own merit. Also In the meantime, all you who are Interested can gather around while your favorite columnist sput ters out his private reasons why he believes the current Tigers are not going to be chopped to pieces by the Axman from up north. In the first place, Coach Frits Kra mer hasn't the football club he had In 1936 not by a long sight. That Eugene outfit last season was a holy terror. It handed Medford one of Its worst defeats In history and against Willamette valley competition was just as potent. There was simply no stopping It, and It ended the sea son undefeated and untied and con sidered by far the most powerful prep aggregation In the state. This year, however, Kramer has had his troubles. Graduation hit the Axemen a stunning blow. Mar shall ("Dutch") Shields brought his Vancouver, Wn team to Eugene and got a deadlock with the Axemen. McMlnnvllle, not so hot, also tied Kramer's team. Then on Ar mis tic day Salem's Vikings blasted out a 13-7 victory In the mud and Eugene's undefeated victory atrlng, extending through almost two years, was snip ped. Oregon City followed with a 13-0 win over the Axemen last Friday to prove Salem's win was not a fluke. Regarding the Medford angle, there Is no comparison between the situa tion last year when the Tigers trav eled to Eugene for their most severe licking and this season, with the Tornado at its peak. Mtxlford was on the downgrade In its 1936 game with the Axemen. Ray Lewis, great hairback, had been forced to the sidelines with a hip Injury early in the year: Bob Olson had been de clared Ineligible; and Ardo Stocks had been knocked oxit of commission with hurts. The Tigers had been tied by Ashland and beaten by Kla math Falls and Bowerman's highly geared attack, which In earlier games had manufactured touchdowns ga lore, was sputtering and knocking along on three cylinders. Look now. The Mark Tornado Is really rolling. The team has been brought along rather slowly and Is at lat beginning to func tion with the power that was alwins there but didn't start genernllnc until the Klamath Falls battle. A alight letdown after the 0-0 tie with the Pell ram was experlrnred agulmt liend. but that was no divgruce. No team In Oregon ran hold the l.avu Henri to four tmirliili.un If they really want to turn on the heat. Then came Ashland, the squabble figured a tossup In every respect, and I Medford roared to a 30-7 victory be I hind a really great forward wall and on the wings of flying Bobby Ettln 1 ger and Jack Bowman. Then, Grants Peas last Friday night In the cham pionship game, and it was Medford copping 0-0 In almost Impossible playing conditions. On a dry and fast track, the Tigers would have beaten the Cavemen by 30 points. No, friends. It won't be 1 44-0 this year. In fact, it won't be 34-0, we sincerely believe. Eugene may win; tt will be the decided favorite, but It will be 'a ball game. Talk about your "ending In a blaze of glory" business, Mr. I. Plckem cer tainly wound up his season of foot ball prognosticating In such a man ner. It was his best week of the year, and In addition to calling the turn on the nation's big upset, the master picker hit two scores smack on the buttons. Plckem named Harvard's valiant crew to atop Clint Frank and Yale's undefeated run by a score of 14-13. The score was 13-0 for Harvard, an upset In anybody's league, and while Plckem missed slightly on the actual score, the big form reversal was pointed out. Plckem also named California by two touchdowns over Stanford: the score wss 13-0, a clean KO for the ole maestro. And, Wash ington over Oregon by two touch downs, and the final count was 14-0. another Plckem masterpiece. In all. the renowned prognosticate named nine out of of 13 encounters correctly. He called the turn on the following: Medford-GranU Pass. I Southern Method Is t-UC LA, Baylor Loyola, Fordham -St. Mary's, Ohio State-Michigan, and Pltt-Penn State, In addition to those three already mentioned. Misses were on the Idaho-Montana, Oregon State-Washington State, and Navy-Princeton affairs. So Plckem leaves you today for another year, and sincerely hopes that all of you have paid off the mortgage on the old homestead from following his Invaluable tips.

The Giants and Bears last met for the title in 1934. On that occasion, the Giants won out by donning basketball shoes In the second half and scampering to victory on a slip pery field. Yesterday the Giants went out of their way to help Chi cago get a chance for revenge by practically eliminating Green Bay from title consideration. New York, with a 10 to 0 victory over the Packers, handed Green Bay Its third defeat. Chicago's Bears now lead the west section with six wins, one tie and one defeat, and are heavy favorites to clinch the right to meet the winner of the eastern title ior the championship.
