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.

Solution of the annual Rose Bowl
mystery was promised "soon" by
Kenneth Priestly, graduate manager
of the University of California.
Technically the mystery la only
half a mystery for California, by
winning the Pacific coast football
conference title, received the bid to
represent the Pacific coast In the
annual gridiron classic. The other
half of the mstery Is who will play
California?
Solution of the mystery may come
In the dark of night. Prtestly said
he would announce the name ol
the chosen team "regardless of the
hour, day or night."
It is the general opinion that se
lection of California's opponent will
be made within a few days and will
be either Pittsburgh. Fordham or
Alabama. Pittsburgh and Alabama
are old hands at playing In the
Rose Bowl, and It was felt FVardnam
may pet the bid for that reason.

Curtain Falls On

Full of Thrills
The curtain has fallen for another

ble. which is

anyway, it did
right well by It
self, crashing
through to the
Southern Oregon
conference title
and winding up
the season with
a brilliant con
quest of the Eu
IIT Rnlei
gene high Axmen.
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

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. Be-
I cau8e yu realized that this might
i be tn FPot th perfect play; that
' Bobby might lug that pigskin clear
to tne ena zone, no matter now iar
distant It was. 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,
