PA03 TWO MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1937. Three Great Matches Grace Tonight's Grappling Card at Armory Y LOTT TO IN UN MELEE Strelich Gets Much Wanted Return Match With Smo- linski in Middle Event- O'Brien, Romano Open Two grappling matches, maybe three, whose calibre Is strictly "main vent" that's the setup tonight at the Med lord armory as Promoter Mack Llllard sends a half-dozen of 'his prize performers Into the arena In the weekly presentation of pain and punishment. Topping all will be the Hugh Nichols- Jimmy Lott squabble. They meet In the final event and will go a full hour or until one husky has garnered two falls. laMw middle canto, Polish Palooka Joe Smollnskl gives popular Bteve Strelich another crack at him In rematch from the sensatlonsl knock-down-and-drag-out the - pair staged two weeks ago. And, In the openor Fopcya Pat O'Brien returns after a several months' absence to welcome a brand new boy to this territory Handsome PhD Romano of Mexico City, a tall, clean and scientific wrest ler. The first two matches will con sist of six 10-mlnute rounds or the best two of three falls. Promoter Llllard expects a huge crowd tonight to witness the first and lone appearance of the great Hugh Nichols. former Hght-heavywelght nhnmolon of the world and consider' ed one of the finest straight wrestlers In the game. It was Nichols wno re moved the Hght-heavywelght crown from the brow of Bobby Chick not lone- aso In Tucson, Ariz., and al though he lost the title a few weeks later to Prank Modurk. Nichols Ja still rated one of the games top notcners. Because of contracts In the large grappling oontera, Nichols will be In southern Oregon for only this one local appearance. Jimmy Lott earned the right to face the former champion by his great ex hibition against Bobby Chick two weeks ago, when he battled the spin star to an amazing draw, and by his even more sensational conquest of the hated Joe Smollnskl last Mon day, when he out-amed and out wrestled the Palooka to win In two-out-of-three-falls. The Btrellch-Smollnskl brawl la ex pected to provide enough grappling dynamite to last for sevsral Monday nights. In their last meeting, Smo llnskl won by virtue of evory foul hold and maneuver ever written, and since then the Strelich fellow hae pleaded with Llllard for anothsr shot at the villain. Hl desire will be real ized this evening, and Llllard Is think ing seriously of moving the first four rows ringside Into the balcony. Pat O'Brien, alwaya a big favorite here, knowa little about the ability of Romano, the Mexican. Reports, ow ver, indicate that Pat will face an xtremely clever and scientific boy. The match will be a fine exhibition of clean mat tactics. TRAMPLE LOYOLA, ?.5-0 LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.

Looking back, we would say the 1037 gridiron campaign In this vil lage waa conducted In a sensational and thrilling manner. For the lirst time In history, football phllberts got. a gander at the great fall game as displayed under lights, and they responded by turning out In record breaking droves. There Is no doubt In anybody's mind now as to ad visability of night football In .Med ford. There were thrills galore dur ing this season now history, dra niiiilc moments on the stuilium ' turf thru yanked you to your feet, heart poundiug and breath abated, while some youngster down there made his bid for fume und his team's victory. There were. Jung and amazing broken field touchdown runs forward passes that stopped time Itself us they hung in the air and superb demonstrations of team co-operation. , Topping all the breath-taking ma neuvers that transpired on the field of battle, this corner believes, was that sudden and astounding "b reals ' occurlng In the Eugene game, when Doug Caven fumbled the opening klckoff as he was tackled viciously by Bob Wilson and Jack Hill, and Don MonteltU recovered the plg.sk tn for Medford on the one-yard line, it was almost unbelievable. One mo ment the Black Tornado was klck-lng-off and preparing to dig In ana hold the Eugene attack. The next. Medford was In possession of the ball Just one step from football heaven. Then, there was. that .touch down play that won the Ash land game, when Jurk Hill came off the Tornado bench In the fourth ((imrttT with his team behind, tt-7, and blasted through a gaping hole In the renter of the rl7.zly line to rrms the lt strle nlthout a hand laid on film.

J. OSENBRUGGE 132 South Riverside Medford, Oregon atopped the thundering Steve Fowler three times and took the bail on downs. It was the turning point ol the game and the Tigers went on to unleash an unstoppable attack. Pans received many thrills, al though they were unpleasant, as Bobby Deathman of Hood River put oo his one-man aerial display in the fourth period to give the Appie plckera a 14-13 last-minute, win over the Tigers. Horribly accurate. Death man fired southpaw passes with reckless abandon while Medford ions sat tenBe as one after another was completed. And, earlier In the game, a pleaaani, thrill came when Etttnger catapulted through a hole In the Hood River forward wall and went the entire distance of 60 yards to the goal line. All Season. Ettlngcr's flying heels exhllerated thousands of heart and tnrew a Dreamless silence over me packed grandstand. It was tense.y dramatic every time the great little ! leIt halfback carried the ball.

Like he did in the Eureka game, racing through a tiny hole. In the line and outdistancing all opponents to the goal, over 6J yards away. There was a terrible thrill in watching Bend's mighty Lava Bears roll steadily over the Tigers, gone rating crushing power off the tackles and moving forward In relentless sweep. Tou knew that nothing, high school team In the state, coutd stop Bend that night. Yep. It's been a great football season and we're sorry to see It end. For athletic thrills, for raw. tougn drama In the world of sports, there is nothing like football. It can carry you to the skies or drop you lower than a snake's vest. Before, this piece Is finished, we would like to describe positively the biggest thrill we ever received at a football game. 8trangely, that para lyzing moment wasn't produced by the battle we were witnessing, at al), but by a game 700 miles away. It was at Kezur Stadium In Kan FranclM.'o In 1933. Bel ore 50,000 fans, (Stanford and L'nl vcrslty of Sun Francisco were staging a rip snorting, sensa tional scoring contest. At Cort land, tfre., the thundering herd of University of Southern Cali fornia, national champs the year before and Pacific Coast title holders for three straight sea sons, were tangling with an Ore gon .state team not figured good enough to lake care of El Tro jan's water bucket. Something was strangely wrong, however; The public address system at Kezar stadium announced to the crowd the first-quarter score of the game in Portland as 0-0. There was a loud cheer by all, who were glad that the Beavers had halted tne great Trojans for one quarter, any way. The cheers rose to a roar when the big horn at the end of the sta dium stated that It was 0-0 at the half, and when It was announced that It was still a scoreless tie at the close of the third quarter, you couldn't hear yourself think. Then, with about two minutes to Dlar In the Stanford-U. S. F. battle. the public address system informed the crowd, "Here's the final score at Portland." The entire stadium became deatniy still. Whoever was handling the pub lic address system was certainly a master of restraint and dramatic suspense. Instead of shouting out the news of the year's biggest upset, a cool voice rather flatly stated, "Orrgon State nothing," then a short ' ' 1 ' i ssMsJiiiiii i''!' i nV.S&3& 51 of its improved 93-h.p.

That waa the report of the end of El Trojan's football reign, and when the stunned crowd could get breath It went the crarlest of any nlcskln ntherlns this writer has ever seen, along with the writer.
