Tiger - Pelican Clash Here Tonight Carries Conference Interest MEDFORD RELIES ON POWER TO STOP SPEEDY INVADERS Victory by Klamath Will Clinch Championship Huge Crowd Promised for Seasons 'Big' Game Before 6,000 cltlznu at the stadium tonight, this question will be an swered : Can Medford high school's Black Tornado football machine, defeated once and tied once, generate enough of Ita potentially terrlflo power to defeat the Klamath Falls Pelicans, or will It be stopped and Its mechan ism sspaehed by the blinding speed. the amazing grid magle and the sav age defense of a team that has piled up the tremendous total of 109 point In five undefeated trips to the post, while holding all opponent to six markers? The question will be answered out there on the green stadium turf In front of the greatest crowd In Med ford history, a crowd whipped Into a frenzy of excitement by the proa pect of witnessing one of the most dramatic football duels ever staged between the two schools. Only twice In the past 30 years haa Klamath Falls beaten Medford, but tonight the aggregation of Snowy Quatafson win march onto the field a decided favorite to whip the Tigers of Bill Bowerman. The klckoff la at 8 o'clock. K. P. Grants Odds. Bettors, here and In Klamath Falls, are offering seven points, even mon ey, to those who like the Tigers' chances, or no points and odds of 1 to 1 that the Pelicans finish on the long end. Some rabid Pelican supporters sre even giving away 13 points to those who figure the Tigers to win. Coach Bowerman said today that his team waa "ready for the ball game." Further than that, he would not go. He stated that Don Gillespie was starting In the quarterback posl-, tlon because Bill Caples hsd a slight ly Injured leg, but explained that Caples would see plenty of action. 'Klamath Falls, already being talk ed as state tltllsts and scoring-record breakers, will be outweighed nearly 18 pounds per man by the Black Tornado, the heaviest team Bill Bow. crmnn has coached since he came hero three years ago. The Pelicans will average a fraction over 182 pounds, while the Tigers will weigh In at close to 187 pounds. However, Medford'a weight advantage Is ex pected to be offset by the superior speed, of the Klamath team as a unit. Fast Field Seen. The weather forecast for tonight Is for continued fair, which means a dry and llghtnlng-fast field, made to order for those speed-burning Pell can ball-carriers, who slash through quick-opening holes In the line after goln-; through their play-development hocus-pocus behind the line .( scrlnw mage. If. by any chance It should rain, the Tigers would be benefited, depending aa they do upon power plays down the middle and off the tackles. Both teams are young, and started the season plagued by inexperience. Only Angus, quarterback, and Blwer, end, were regulara on last year's Klamath club. Stelnselfer, Ramos and Anderson, backs; Webber and Wllsnn. itunrdK; and Server, renter. if YOU ARE THIS TYPE YOU'LL LIKE THIS BOURBON THAT'S ffijk I Broad Creep of a J t.s . vl K I P wih good lute paN y. 4 yj I ftndgood jmltcmtnt. 1 i a a& -t hwpftoUtyne VW r '"-' 4 j&gfy mi Ti m who po worth- fciTW fcia while thing.

I PINT I mm 85c QUART SH t .5.1 tiillalle In Oregon are returning lettermen for the Peli cans. For Medford, only Don Monelth, end, and Wally Erl, guard, were var sity regulara In 1037. Returning let termen are Oene Miller, end; BUI Clute, tackle; Dale Howard, guard; John Prentice, center; and Bill Ca ples, Bob Kewland and Jack Bow man, backs. The remainder of the Klamath and Medford teams consist of sophomores and others who are playing their first year of varsity football. K. F. Can Clinch Title. Klamath Falls can clinch the Southern Oregon conference cham pionship tonight by beating Med ford, last year's tltteholders. With victories already chalked up over Qrants Pass and Ashland, the Pell cans close their league schedule with this game. Tonight will mark the flrat conference test of the Tlgera, who still have Grants Pass and Ash land to play. A victory for Medford will make the Tornado an overwhelm ing favorite to gallop on through Ita conference slate undefeated. Although not knowing Just what to expect, because of the fact that Medford has practiced behind locked gates all week and tho suspicion that Klamath Falls has been saving tin real offensive attack solely for this game, observers of the situation pre dict that ft will bs a battle of speed versus power, of razzle-dazzle versus more-or-lesa straight football, with both teams blocking and tackling viciously. ' Tigers Carry Power. The Tigers, packing dynamic power in the straight-ahead blasts of big Louie Thurman. Bob Newland. Bill Caples, and plenty of break-away speed In Jumping Jack Bowman and Bill Plchc, are figured to pound the Klamath line, and shoot an occa sional shot outside tho tackles. Tho Tigers shift In the backfleld, and employ many spinners and reverses, though not so intricate a variety as does Klamath. Any one of the Pelican backs are potential touchdown - makers from any spot on the field, and that will be the problem of Medford's big and tough line to keep those brilliant ball-packers from getting loose. A Klamath Falls report yesterday stag ed that Bob Anackcr. 140-pound thunderbolt, was out of the gnmc with an Injured hip. Even without Anacker, the Pelicans will boast su perior backfleld speed, although Med. ford's Jack Bowman will probably be the fastest single player on the field. Both teams want that "Jump" touchdown, and because of that, any thing Is liable to happen. Although neither club has done much forward passing this season, they both might fin the air with footballs tonight If the respective forward walls throt tle the ground attacks. It may turn Into an aerial duel. In fact. It may turn Into anything and everything. Huge Crowd Looms. With all reserved seats sold out early In the week, general admis sion tickets of an unlimited number will go on ssle at the stadium ticket office at 6:48 tonight. There are 3.200 general admission seats avail able In the east-side bleachers and In the grandstand, and room for 2.000 persons to stand along the side lines. Last year, the two teams battled to a Ravage scoreless tie In Klamath Falls. In 1036, tho Pelicans won here by virtue of a field goal In the last minute of play, 3 to 0.

Oregon State's Beavers, the chumps of September who became Octo ber's heroes, will lose to Washington State tomorrow at Portland unleu Coach Howard Jones of V. 8. C, Is wrong. Proctor Jones' boys have p 1 ay ed with both teams and- Howard picks the Cougars. Howard has been wrong before and we choose to believe he will be wrong tomorrow, but there is warning In his prophecy. He feels that the Cougars are better than their four defeats, that they are about due to win a game, and this will be It. .The augury li not very flattering to a Beaver team that has Just pulled Itself out, of the ruck: by beating Washington's highly esteemed nose divers, because anything that may be said for the Cougars can also be said for O. S. C. They not only have Improved but liave had a sip of vic tory 'c heady nectar which should stimulate them no end for the quar-r-l with the Cougars. But there are angles that make the four-time beaten pa louse rs look risky. First they have a tradition for beat ing Oregon State In Portland. No W. S. C. team has lost to O. S. C. In the Rose City since 1019. Second, Holllngbery's teams usually age well. This one may be punk but It Isn't getting any worse. It did a pretty fair Job of curbing Stanford and It hobbled U. S. C. for three quarters. Finally the Beavers are expected to win, and this season has been dis tinguished by the unexpected. Oregon State has come a long way since Its Ineffectual tussle with Idaho. The good range line Is nicely mesh ed with a smart backfleld of Mercer, the brothers Kohler and Klsselburgh. And the team they're playing tomor row Isn't as tough as the one they belted over last week. Small dose California grid devouta who passed up the Oregon -Stanford game for Callfornla-U. C. L.

For the past three weeks It has been as easy to gain through the southern California team as through a bank vault. Troy has yielded only one first down In three games and that on a forward pas- Interference penalty. Oregonlans who view Coach Jones' prophecy for a W. S. C. victory over Oregon State as a slur should read on down. He also picks Oregon o beat Fordham. Behind Oregon State's victory over Washington, we are told, was a depre cating Seattle newspaper article in which the Beavers were referred to as a crowd of farmers who didn't be long in the same ball yard with the Huskies. This reportedly worked O. S. C. up to a high fever and resulted In one more humiliating loss for the Washingtons. It makes a nice story and adds drama and gives the game a touch of the old Horatio Alger color, but wo choose to think that Oregon State won because they had the best team. Seattle writers never have been very complimentary to Oregon State. Why this particular slur should have helped an upset la not quite clear. It probably made the Stlnermen mad, all right, but they won because they had a football team that played bet ter ball than Washington's. r. 1 M T Y 1 1 ROOf '90 f STAGING UPSET, HY Washingtonians Would Put Crimp in Bears' Rose Bowl Plans Phelan Under Fire, Needs Victory By the Associated Press A University of Washington foot ball team, which hasn't won a game In four starts, hopes to furnish . the Pacific coast conference with a real upset this week by dumping the title defending University of California at Seattle Saturday. - California, undefeated tbla season and apparently headed for another New Year's day session in the Rose Bowl, is listed as a 2' to 1 favorite to take Washington,' but the bettors are going on statistics and not mem ories, ' Huskies Determined .
