The battle, considered the high light of the year, will start promptly at 1 o'clock. It was 44-0 last year when the Black Tornado, crippled In man power and low In morale, traveled to Eugene to meet the finest prep machine In the state. It will be no such business this season. The Tor nado, Southern Oregon conference champion, Is In excellent condition and Eugene, although still potent. Is considerably weaker than In 1038.

Tomorrow's encounter will be be tween two well-coaohed, top-notch ball teams, both featuring brilliant scoring power developed by decep tion and speed. It will be Doug Caven, Eugene's great right halfback versus Medford's unstoppable Bobby KttlnRar, the finest cutback runner to perform on a southern Oregon gridiron In the past HO years. Caven, eonaldsred the best halfback In the state, is a rugged power runner on the order of Nello Olovanlnl, al though faster and harder to bring down, Ettlnger dependa on biasing peed through quick opening holes and t aharp change of direction to roll up his yardage. Coach Prlti Kramer la an exponent of both the single and louble-wlng-back with plenty of short passes and laterals behind the Uno of scrlm msge.

IT f4V m Sport Graphs Billy Hules 8ays: Beavers' Manager Believes Clabaugh Won't Quit Game Rollle Schefter, business manager of the Portland Beavers, Is'rertalnly an optimist, or maybe he Is Just putting up a ST"i brave front and hnni ntr An munv he believes, so says a Portland newspaper, that Moose Clabaugh will "wear the spangles of the 1 Portland club ugaln next year." ' brand new state SJi-J. ?.- Rtift. ts travel south with the Nil? Rules team for spring training. The newspaper yarn quotes Schef ter as claiming the "bug" will get Moose. Maybe. But according to our information direct from the big former outfielder's own lips, there will be no more baseball In 'he Cla baugh family unless, of course, one of the two younger Clabaugh'a want to carry on several years hence. Seattle Club Loses Civic Field Diamond SEATTLE. Nov. 24. (API They took away the wigwam from the Seattle Indians yesterday. Already without a manager and soon to be without a president, lo. the poor Indian (coast league base ball club variety) didn't have much after the council decided to ban professional baseball from civic field. The hflpless tribe has played on the skinned field there since July 4. 1032. when the old Rainier valley stands burned. 3T 0 !'l' i.-j.wf -m t 'iis: W '.IB, 1 0 10 DISTRIBUTED BY QR0VEK S DAIRY PRODUCTS CO. The bespectacled slugger, who for four years belted line drives Into every Pacific Coast league park's right field while a member of the Beavers, told us emphatically that he was finished, through, washed up and concluded with the national pastime, especially the Portland Beavers. Not that he was sore at baseball, he said, but that ie knew he couldn't play forever .ind that this present state police Job was Just what he had always wanted to do. That, he explained, was his prin cipal reason for giving up the game: that and his Inability to agree- with President E. J. Schefter of the Benvers on the amount of do-tv-ml he should receive for performing. Mnnse rhi tnicd that lie urn entitled to fnr more than he nrlnallr got, and records seem ( to hear him nut. For Instance, .Inhnny Frederhk. Who win Just about the hlchest pnld hall plnver In the lengue lnt year Hml whn topped all other Port hinders, re ceived utmost third agHtn as much nlnry as did f'lahauirh. M(mp out hit .lohnnv, drove In more runs, scored more runs, and stole more bases. Maybe he wasn't the fielder, but you never heard of him getting hit on the Mend hy a flv hall Inking a bad , hop. Clabaugh, before he left here for his permanent state police assign ment In Coquille. Intimated that he received somewhere in the neighbor hood of 600 per month for twinging his big black bat for the Ducks. And, that Fredericks drew down around P00 every thirty days. Now, either salary is not to be sneezed at: however Moose can't be blamed much for squawking. Like no other profession In the world, baseball pays Its workers strictly on a basis of pure and unadulterated ability, and nothing else. If a ball player pro duces. It Is right down there In black and white In the box score, No other profession can even ap proach baseball In keeping such close tabs on Its workers. Sor If Moose was more competent than Fredericks and had the figures to prove It. this guy for one doesn't blame the big fellow for telling Schefter and his Beavers to go Jump In the lake, which was Just about what happened. never knows when he la through: that he must tilde down the mlnoi league trail until even the class D circuits don't want him hanging around. That la not a warning to Clabaugh, It la merely a statement of fact. Maybe Moose would let that happen and maybe be wouldn't. Anyway, It will be highly Interesting to note developments this spring, when the grass starta getting green, the birds begin to warble, and rookie Inflelders turn up with sore arms the second day of training camp. Steve Btrellch, current grappling favorite, Is a versatile lad. and- no fooling. In addition to playtng soc cer In his native Jugoslavia In In ternational competition, dancing in marathons In America, driving racing cars, fighting James J. Braddock be fore the latter won the heavyweight championship, and staying three rounds with Prlmo Camera, Italian Alp, when the latter was making his "road show" trip across the country, the likeable Steve is a real, honest-to -goodness movie actor. , He Just finished working In "Buc caneer" for Twentieth Century, and when he returns to Hollywood he will have a bit In a movie dealing with the life of Jesse James. He first appeared In the film "The Way To Love," starring Maurice Chevalier, the French actor. The picture called for wrestling sequences, and as the Prenchle couldn't grapple a lick. Strellch was hired as his double. He has appeared In three Mae West pictures, "I'm No Good." "Klondike Annie," and "Belle of the Nineties." Also, he has been a bodyguard for the buxom blonde, receiving gifts of a watch and ring from Miss West. Quite a guy, Strellch. And, a pretty good grappler, too. EX-MAT CHAMPION Y Hugh Nichols, former light heavy weight wrestling champion of the world and considered one of the greatest scientific workers In the game, will be In town next Monday night to clash with Jimmy Lott, Promoter Mack Lillard announced to day. The pair will meet in the main event at the armory and will mark Nichols' only appearance here. In the middle bout, Steve Strellch and Joe Smoltnskl will face each oth er In a rematch from two weeks ago when Smollnsk.1 fouled his way to an unpopular win over the well llked Steve. Popeye Pat O'Brien re turns to tangle with Phil Romano of Mexico City In the opener. Romano will be making hie Initial appearance In Oregon, and Is reputed to be a tall, rangy, clean -wrestling crowd pleaser However, Schefter has hope that Mnose will be hack aatn next spring. and he has a powerful point of per suasion on his side. And. he won't have to say s word, either. As be fore mentioned, Schefter thinks the "bug" will get Moose. If he Is cor rect, nothing on earth can stop the state police from losing a member of the game division and oaseball gaining, or rather retaining, a high ly effective worker. It has been proved many times that a ball player I WIN DOUBLE BILL PROSPECT, Nov. 24.
