NOVEMBER 16. 1938. mm mm GALENTO FIASCO PUIS DAMPER ON FISTIC OUTLOOK Mike Jacobs Group Fears Egg Laid in Philadelphia May Queer Attendance at Apostoli - Corbett Clash Br Gayle Tslhot NEW YORK. Nov. 19 (AP) The local boxing mob Is In mourning over the Tony Galento-Harry Thomas affair In Philadelphia on Monday night, fearing the game In general will be dampened by the aplash. Specifically, the Mike Jacoba group la afraid the blasting given Tony's third-round knockout victory will keep many a customer away from Friday night's middleweight scrap be ing. tween Fred Apostoli and Young Cor bett III at the Garden. The fight fan Is a scary bird at best, and wasn't too excited about Apostoli and corbett to begin with, so the locals naturally think It was a dirty trick for Oalento and Thomas to flush the flock right at this time, with winter coming on. "It waa nothln' but greed," declar ed the manager of sevoral big-named , fighters. "Here we had what looked like a big season comln' up, and these mugs nave to come along and ruin It. aalonto could have waited for several montha until he had clear recovered from that penumonla and then fought a real fighter. Now he's ruined." The consensus Is that Tony's ruin ed, all right. They've yanked In the welcome mat on him In Philadelphia and any chanoea he previously had of getting In a big fight under Ja cobs' auspices are gone. The color ful Tony wll have to go back to his orange saloon, even though he gen erally Is considered an Innocent party. Most of those who witnessed the stirring event are Inclined to place the blame on Thomas for not having given a better exhibition. Oalento. all agree, i went wading In like he thought It was a battle to the death, like his last previous one against pneumonia. There will be. however, no more talk about tho globular Oalento challenging Joe Louie or anyone else ior mo ncavywelght title. There never was much sense to It, for the good natured Tony was not on his best day more than a second-rate fighter with a striking oapsclty for beer.

FRIDAY'S BATTLE Medford high school footbsll Tigers were to be eased off today In their dally practice for the Grants Pass clash at the stadium here Friday night. From now on they will coast In to the 8 o'clock opening whistle Friday night. The squad waa put through a stiff drill Monday and a slightly leas severe practice yesterday. Today the men were to have a light drill, the practice to taper off for the rest of the week, said Coach BUI Bowerman. Bowerman haa been working hard to make the Black Tornado offense click with more certainty. The Tiger defense department has been func tioning Just about perfectly all year, with the sole exception of the Eugene gBtne in which the defense of both teams crumbled and both elevens went on a scoring spree. The offense, however, has not al ways measured up to Bowerman's ex. pectatlons of his Tiger squad. It has worked well enough to hang up an undefeated record, to be sure, but In several games scoring chances have been lost when Just a little punch wouia nave put the ball over the line. bo It la the offense department tnat is receiving Bill's undivided at tention this week, for In the Grants Pass contest he wants touchdowns and plenty of them. Bowerman's idea la that Medford will need them. The team has not yet reached Its peak performance, Bowerman said and he Is working diligently to h. the squad in top form for the two remaining games, Grants Pass Friday and Ashland In Ashland Thanksglv Both are conference games and If " w to hold on to Ita claim to the state championship both gsmes must be won and won In an Impreaslve way that will leave no doubt In anyone'a mind. Of course there la grave danger of an upset and the coach la doing all he can to avert such a catastrophe. In that the Players are, with him, he said. Another sell-out for the game Is anticipated. Tickets have been mov ing at a fast clip and spectators were urged by tho school msnagement to procure their seata as early as pos sible. TS ON PASS DEFENSE EUGENE, Nov. 16.-;pA crippled University of Oreon football team labored on pass defense today In preparation for Saturday's game against Washington In Portland. Seven men were out with Injuries, rncludcd are Vic Reglnato and Larry Lance, ends; Hank Nelson and Dennis Donovan, quarterbacks: Al Samuel- son. center: Frank Emmnn. Marshall Stenstrom, fullbacks. Sid Feder on SPORTS California's Midget Center Provides Victory Dynamite By Russell J. Newland BERKELEY Calif., Nov. 16. .AP Others may reap the all-American glory but football's No. 1 success story on. the University of California campus this fall will be framed around a small chunk of human dynamite named David Andrew Queen. He's the little fellow with the big plK&kln push who ruahed Into the opening game of the season as a fourth string center and emerged as the varsity snapper-baric. Queen weighs 168 pounds sopping wet. He la 5 feet 9 Inches tall and in the class rooms tooka like a candidate for the table tennis team. On the gridiron he behaves like a wildcat with his tall caught In the cage door. He has finished every game weigh lng from seven to eight pounds less than when he started. He Is the lightest center In the 50-year foot ball history of the university. Coach Leonard B. "Stub" Allison ranks Queen as one of the greatest Inspirational players he has tutored. Queen's college football career flopped at the start. As a member of the 1937 Freshman team he played two games. He quit the sport under doctor's orders. They feared a throat Infection would develop Into some thing far more serious. Last spring he appeared for prac tice with a physical okeh. The first thing he did was break his hand. So he had no practice. In the last period of the St. Mary's game, opening the season In Septem- oer. ne went into the line-up. Cal ifornia was behind In the score. Queen's entry helped turn the tide of battle. California won. The num ber 4 substitute on the list of centers became the first string man In a few minutes of play. He Is majoring in criminology, of all things, with the Idea of taking up police work after graduation.

Name REINHART & BARKER "Medford Arrow Shirt Store' After seeing MaVk Iillard's weekly wreatllng card at the armory Monday night, a number of fans made up' a tentative program for the obliging promoter for next Monday. Beln? an accommodating soul, Ullard Is likely to accede to the fans' wtsnes as soon as he learns about them. The way the fans have it figured out. Pete Belcaatro should tangle with Red Lyons and i3ockeye Jack McDon ald should mix up with Prankle Bchroll. Red Lyons gave a disappointing exhibit Monday night, because of hie stalling tactics. Every time the sci entific wrassler Prankle Schroll got mad enough at the Red's foul rough stuff to make a pass at him. the Joplin Ghost would stick his red neck through the ropes and Frankie was too much of a gentleman to poke a man outside the ring. 80 Frankie would wait for the poltroonlsh Lyons to come back into the ring and Red would keep his neck outside the ropes until Schrcll's anger had cooled. Result was a ter ribly slow and dull match. Kow with Pete and Lyons It would be different, the fans believe. If Lyons ever stuck his neck out of the ring with Pete, the Mad Italian would clamp down on It and rap It around the ropes half a dozen times. In other words Lyons couldn't stall because Betcastro would carry 'the fight to him. And 'in such clrcum- stances a match between the two dirty workers ought to be a whirl wind. About the same thing would be true of a match between Socko and Schroll. McDonald doesn't stall and Schroll would have a better chance to show his great array of wrestling holds. Including his deadly crocodile clutch. Such a match alsd ought to be full of fireworks. At any rate that Is what the fans suggest and now it Is up to Mack Llllard. This department will tell Mack about It. Wall St. Report NEW YORK, Nov. 18.
