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.

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.

"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.
