PAOK FOUR TrEDFORD MATT TRTBTJNT5. MEDFOItD. OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1938. lni e T" '' - 4 q e I ' IT BOWERMAN KEEPS FOR FRIDAY TILT Rejuvenated Cavemen Hard Hazard for Title Seeking Tigers Counting On Clute for Major Aid Med ford high school'! football Ti gers enter a hazardous period of their season this week when they line up sgaintt the rejuvenated Grants Pass Cavemen at the stadium hers Friday night. It Is a hazardous period because the Tigers have their eyes on the mythical state championship and when the eyes of football players turn upward In championship hopes, the boys are liable to get smacked between their oogllng orbs for an Ignominious defeat. That Is a constant fear of all coaches and Mentor BUI Bowerman Is no exception. He had a troubled look on his face today as he talked of the game coming up Friday eve ning. Grants Pass Good "Grants Pais has a good club and we can't afford to drop a gams at tbla stage of the season," Bowerman said. "Friday's game with Grants Pass is a league encounter and next week we have another conference contest to hurdle when we meet Ash land In Ashland Thanksgiving dsy. On paper it looks good for us but unfortunately football games aren't won on paper. They're won on the field and It Is on the field that the team which does not look good on paper really goes to town. So we have no Illusions of winning an essy victory." While keeping his fingers crossed, sowerman wss Jubilant for one thing: all of his regulars will be resdy to pmy in me urants pass game and the entire team, he said, Is In good oonaiuon. The coach is counting a lot on Sill Clute, the ripping, raging right tackle who'll be back In the game aiier recovering from an eye Injury uttered In practice. Clute was kept on the bench during most of the Weed battle last week on account m me injury. His eye Is well aaaln however, and Bowerman Is expecting gram wings oi nis star tackle. Montleth Has Boll Right End Montleth has been hav tag trouble with a boll but he la ooing aoctored carefully and Bower man expects to nave him In the line up iTiaay. Bob Verblck will also be hunk- i the line-up. The wrenched ankle that ps mm out or the Weed gams has mended and he will be able to get Into the fray, the coach said. The rest of the regular squad are all In good shape, the mentor added. Oranta Pass has been coming to the front rapidly of late, taking Its last three games In essy stride. It Is expected that the Cavemen will be at their peak Friday night. A capacity crowd Is expected to see the game, set for 8 p. m.

Claaaea were dlAtnlssed and stud ents gathered in pouring ratn for the crremonle. Oregon fltat will play Oregon In two weeks. Sockeye Jack McDonald socked his way to a victory over Pete Belcastro in the main event of Promoter Mack LUlard's wrestling card In the Mod- ford armory last night. The match was a slugfest from start to finish with nary a trace of wrestling visible at any time. It was furious battle while It lasted and the spectators went a little crazier than usual, which Is saying a lot for a wrestling audience. Men and women who ordinarily are quiet and dignified citizens, closed In on the ring In the last few mln utea of the brawl, waving threatening fists at the Mad Italian as he kicked the dazed Sockeye out Into the front row pews time and time again Policemen popped up from every cor ner of the big hall and quickly es tabllshed a semi-circle around the big ex-logger as he groped among the customers, trying to find his dizzy way back Into the ring. . Pete had given McDonald a vicious kick as the two gladiators and Ref eree Earl Yoakley all went sprawling off the edge of the ring In a jumbled tangle. As Sockeye tried to crawl hack through the ropes Pete let go with a Missouri mule kick that sent his foe back into the third row of spectators. Time and again Pete re peated this effective act but finally Sockeye met the rushing Pote with a clout to tho Jaw that sent the wild eyed wop flat on his back In- the middle of the ring. Using the ropes for a slingshot, McDonald sprang like panther upon the flattened Italian and held htm to the mat long enough for Yoakley to count three breathless numbers. That was the end of the match. for It gave McDonald two out of three fails for his first wrestling victory over Belcastro In the Mcdford ring. Pet had whipped him in their two previous encounters. The whole thing was ovr in about IS mtnuts. At the first gong the two feudists started throwing fists and in five minutes Pete had the first fall, when McDonald looked aside to say something to the referee. In , the twinkling of an eye Pete rushed I at Sockeye Just as he turned his heod ' to speak, socked him on the Jaw and the hefty ex-logger fell over like a giant redwood In a hurricone. After the rest period sockeye came back with a sponge tn his hand and Tony Galento Unimpressive In Technical Over Thomas , , -i Bj TED MEIER PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15. (AP) Fight fans wondered today about Tony Onlcnto's unimpressive return to the ring after an absence of four months. . Appearing In his first fight since he was taken 111 with pneumonia In midsummer, the beer-loving saloon keeper of Orange, N. J scored a three-round technical knockout over Harry Thomas, of Eagle Bend, Minn., at Convention hall Inst night. A orowd of 10,000 which Promoter Herman Taylor said paid a gross gate of $23,000 booed long and loud ns Thomas dropped to the floor five times In the third round before Ref eree Tommy O'Keefe stopped the fight after 3:20 of the round. Ga lento weighed 230. Thomas 198 Galento, ranked by the National Boxing association as the leading challenger for Joe Louis heavyweight championship, first flattened Thomas for a count of seven. The second count went to four, the third to nine and the fourth to six. The fifth time Thomas was down for eight. He tried to get to his feet, but when he fell to one knee Ref eree O'Keefe waved Galento's hand aloft In token of victory. Most of Galento's punches were left hooks and seemed light blows, but Tony explained In the dressing room afterward "I hit him on the temple. I don't know why the crowd booed. I've knocked out tougher guys with lighter punches." "Tony hit me behind the ear com ing out of a clinch. Thomas said. "That, got me dizzy. Later, I thought he was open and tried to nail him. but he got his left In Just like Louis did against me. This guy Ga lento la shrewder than he looks and he can punch, too." LON STINER HAS RIGHT TO MOURN COSTLUUILE Bobble That Probably Cost Game With California Also Lost Possible Chance at Conference Pennant By Fred llaniptfon Associated Press Writer. If Lon Stiner wants to cry over split milk this week there never was a man with a better right to do It. Had It not been for that five-yard fumble that probably cost O. S. C. a victory over California Mr.. Stlner's organization would be right In the middle of a scorching stretch battle for the Pacific Coast conference pen nant. And If Mr. Stlner's numerically weak but competitively strong com pany had also managed to stave off that one touchdown U. S. C. scored, they would now be leading the pack. And If Mr. Stlner's fellows had also shaken off their September Jitters and beaten Idaho well, they'd prac tically be In the Rose Bowl. Saturday the Orangemen ran up their colors by thumping Stsnford for the first time In history and the victory, accompanied by Washing ton's amazing win over U. S. C. put them only one game behind the leaders with still a remote chance for a tie. John Hogg. Random Glance col umnist In Baker, conjectures perti nently on the possibility of an at tempted comeback by Freddie Steele as the result of the thrashing Solly Krleger gave Al Hostak. "This may bring Steele out of re tirement," writes Hogg, "and have him try to wrest the title from Krleger. . ... Krleger has always felt that Steele couldn't lick him so he would probably give him a crack at the belt. .... If Steele stays smart he will let well enough alone." BOWLING The Ramblers took all three points from the Studebaker outfit in the city classic league bowling tourna ment play at the Medford bowling alleys last night.

Just what McDonald planned to do with the sponge he did not make clear unless he Intended to Jam It down Pete'B throat. At. any rate Sockeye did not get to use It; ho gave It a violent fling out among the spectators. Then he went to work and In four minutes of punching and drop-kicking had the Italian set up for a body press which evened the count at a fall apiece. It woa the final tumble that set off tho fireworks as both men went to work with their hard fists. Most of the time it looked like another Bel castro win ttut tho ex-logger revived Just In time to get In his victorious clout. The middle event between Prankle Schroii nnd Red Lyons never did get going for some reason or other. Rud's stalling tactics slowed the bout to a wain most of the time. Schroll tried desperately to apply his paralyzing crocodile clutch and Lyons tried Just as desperately, and successfully to keep out of It. The bout ended In a draw on a sort of minor key that left the aud ience dissatisfied. The match dragged along to the firth round without a tumble. In that canto Lyons snapped on hts vicious leg strap after Yoakley had separated tho men from a tangle In the ropes. Frankie yelled quits and Yoakley held up Reel's hand for the fall.

Heed ing the shouts of the crowd, Yoakley reversed himself and awarded the fall to echroll. At the start of .the sixth and final round Lyons Immediately clamped on his leg strop again and took the fall. It was over so fast that the audience was sore. The opener provided the evening's fnst, clever and sclentlflo wrestling as Cecil McOlll and Bobby Wagner re peated their performance of a week ago. As In the previous encounter, McOlll took two of the three falls. Wagner took the first fall In the Initial round with a shoulder stand. Wngner enme back to even the count in the second round with a body press after setting up Bobby with a series of drop kicks.

Nov. 16 (AP) The way things have been going lately, almost any team that hasn't hsd the tar licked out of It la good for at least a vote or two In the weekly Associated Press football ranking poll. Right now, however. Notre Dams Is on top of a heap that Includes 31 colleges. , Where the Irish will be In another week or two is another question. They were hardly In sight a few weeks ago. Then they whipped Army, Navy and Minnesota on successive Saturdays and earned the No. 1 ranking by a comfortable margin over Texas Chris tian, last week's leader. They play Northwestern, first conqueror of Min nesota, next Saturday, then go on to tackle Southern California December 3. 60 First Votes Notre Dame drew 60 first plsce votes from 92 sports writers who par ticipated in the fifth poll of the sea son. The total was 887 points against 786 for T. C. U.. which was picked No. 1 by 19 writers. Northwestern drew 23 points for 16th place and that combination easily makes the tussle of the Irish snd the wildcats this week's foremost gridiron attraction. T. C. V., which didn't meet such tough opposition when It bowled over Texns. apparently dropped from the lead for that reason, and the horned Frogs will find It hard to go ahead If Norte Dame keeps on winning.
