PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1939 Sport Graphs Billy HhIbd aayi: I. Pickem Back To Harait Grid Fan of Medford (nnrt Edltor'a Note: That guy. Mr. I. Pickem, Is back again despite our beet etlorta to have him "liquid ated" during the paat nine months, which he spent In hie mountain hideaway, poring over huge piles ot football data and gazing Into hie erystal globule. He staggered Into the office early this morning, his arms weighted down with thick bun dles of grid "dope" and a leer on his vacuous msp, and demanded the nt Ihli tvnewrlter. We knew What waa coming but, after two years ot trying to prevent the eo-called prognostlcator from using this space as an outlet for his gridiron pre dictions, and being unsuccesaful al ways, we capitulated as gracefully as possible snd retired to the crying room to sulk. So Mr. I. Pickem took over and now you can have blm. with our most heartfelt sympathy.) FASTJIACKFIELD Seven Vets Will Open For Tigers; Same For Weed Game Called For 8:00; Ceremonies At 7:15 Greetings, grid phllberts. This Is I. Pickem, your screwball plckster. back for another three months of the world's most astounding foot ball prognostications. As In the past two seasons, I. Pickem will give you each and every Friday the results of the most Important games to be played Saturday throughout the na tion a dozen of them each week. The weekly dozen, as usual, will Include one upset battle, and It has been this latter service which has skyrocketed I. Plckem's reputation to the very pinnacle of the country's ether selectors. (Pickem, last year, ailed the Washington win over U . O.) Without further ado, I Pickem presents this week's predictions. There Is only a half-ration today because only preliminary skirmishes will take plaea this week-end. The heavy fir ing will start next week and Pickem will then begin heavy study of the 'crystal ball and reports of his special agents planted on every college cam pus In America. Here they are; MEDFORD HIGH VS. WKF.D HIGH Although both cluhs will be playing their first 11)3!) games and both are somewhat of a mys tery, so far as an actual report of strength Is concerned, 1. Pick em can't sea anything but a Black Tornado conquest, perhaps easily. The Timers defentrd Hie rallfornlans Inst year, 30 to 0, and the crystal htiil says It asnln will bs at least that much for the Red and Black. KLAMATH HIGH VS.

Medford high ichool's Black Tornado grid ag gregation embarks on Its nine-game 1030 campaign under the stadium llqhts tonight against the Weed, (Cal.) Cougars, champions of the Siskiyou county conference for the past three years. The battle, first of the season In Medford, starts at 8 o'clock sharp following the open ing night ceremonies In which all football teams In the city will par ticipate. Pre-gnme festivities will get under way at 7:15. Coach Bill Bowerman said today that only one position In the Tigers' starting lineup remains In doubt. This Is at fullback, where Ike Orr and John fiaulsberry have been wag ing a violent battle for the opening nod. The coach said he would post pone naming the starting fullback until game time. Won Last Year The 1039 Tornado, Southern Ore on conference champs and one of the state's most powerful outfits last season, will move against the club which they defeated last year, 30 to 0, with a team weight average of 175 or 173 pounds, depending on which fullback hears the opening whistle. If Saulsberry starts, the Tigers will averoge 175 pounds. Orr's appearance In the lineup will de crease the average to 173. Saulsberry tips the beam at 100, while the soph from Rogue River weighs 165. The Medford forward wall, boast ing four veterans and three new comers, will average 178 plus pounds. 1 The backfleld, with Saulsberry at I run, win average 160; with Orr at full, 163ia. The Tiger mentor stated the en tire squad, with two exceptions, was i In excollent condition for Its 1030 ! inaugural. Alden Hlbbert, veteran j left guard, la definitely out of the j grtmo with a bruised shoulder. Don Moyer, first string right end, won't start the encounter but ho may get in later. Moyer surtered a cleat wound on his hand during a recent practice scrimmage. Burks Are Fast Fast, versatile backs wilt operate behind a blg-ln-t he-center line. Louie Thurman, last year's fullback, has been shifted to the blocking quarter back post. Billy Plche. the 166-pound speedster, will toke care of the right halfback position, and Bob Newland, trlple-thrcater, will be In the key left half spot. Plche and Newland are lettermen, the latter a two-stripe winner. Bob Leonard, up from Junior high and Vorn Hoots, the young racing car driver, will hold down the thinks. Neither hits had previous prep ex perience. At the tackles will be BUI Chi to, 350 pound giant, and Al Bar row, loo, both of whom are return ing regulars from last season. Dale Howard, one of the best linemen de veloped here In several years, will be at right guard, and Dick Hewitt, with no previous experience will be in Hlbbert's left guard hole. Howard is a two-year veteran. Although no definite information has been received from Weed, a check of this year's Cougar roster rtgnlnst that of Inst sen son reveals the Callfornlnns will have seven reg ulars to throw at the Tigers. Tom Ki-gg and Jim Brunello, ends; Dick Schontz and Ocorge Mcllne, tackles; Tony Bilottl, center and Olno De Bortoll and Jim Patella, backs, saw action In last year's game against Medford. Like the Tigers, Weed has not played a gome this season. To 81inw New Attack The Black Tornado will exhibit a new attack In ltji opening game, an attack Conch Bowerman brought back from Harvard Coach Dick Harlow's summer session In New York City. The system includes both single and oouoio wlnguack formations, plenty of reverses and deception coupled with power, and a wide variety of pasnes, both forward and lateral. The Tiger backfleld will employ the Notre Dame shift on single wing back msiipuvera, and a balanced line. Orld squads of the four grade schools, two squads from Junior high and the siiphs and varsity from sen ior high wilt participate in the opening ceremonies.

WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY f i f' V pi'c-i Ca-'-dfl Cf. NEW HAVEN CONS.. V 8 A N FACES NAZI IN Taro Ito was first. Then came Joe Smollnskl. Now It Is George Wilson, the fine, clean grappler who waa onoe a, grid Iron hero, who will face the Nazi menace Hans (Hitler) Schula In next Monday night's main event In the Medford armory, and hundreds of fans are wondering whether Wil son will succumb to the Germnn'B brutality as did Ito, the popular Japanese matman and Smollnskl, the big Pole. 60 far Schuls has had little serious opposition In his conquest of south ern Oregon wrestling. Ito was beaten easily snd Smolintkl, although mak ing things warm for a spell, lasted less than 10 minutes against the ruthless Relchman. Thus, It Is be coming s grave question among the grappling gentry as to whether any one of the current Mack Llllard bone-bonders Is capable of halting the onrush lng German. Following Schulz decisive victory over Smollnskl, Promoter Llllard re ceived a score of requests that Wil son be given the opportunity of facing the powerful Hun. Llllard ap proached Wilson on the matter end It didn't take George more than two seconds to assure the promoter there was nothing he would more enjoy than meeting Schulz. in the squared circle. Schulz quickly but laconi cally, and with a slight sneer, said It was OK with him. The hopes of Medford fandom for a Wilson victory are based on the belief that Wilson's sonnenberg's and flying tackles will more than make up for Schulz cruelness and utter disregard of everything sportsman like. They believe when Wilson fires his flying shoulder blocks the Ger man will fold In the middle and go down for the count, and Wilson Is In strict agreement with those thoughts. Two other fine matches are slated for the weekly program. Joe Smo llnskl meets Dave Levin In the mid dle event and Billy Venable tangles with Stanley Mayslack In the opener Mayslack Is & clean-grappling new comer reputed to be one of the ; aie's better drawing cards.

Sept. 33 ( API If one man has told me In the past 34 hours that Joe Louis waa slipping, that soft living has dulled his aim and that ha no longer la the Brown Bomber of a year ago, then her have been a dozen. Some of them must be classed as expert observers of fighting men If then, la any such animal. They say they saw the symptoms i In the course of the negro's fight with Bob Pastor night before last. They don't think that the "old" Loula would have let any man aur vlve five knockdowns In the first four minutes of fighting and then stick around until the 11th stanza before going down for good. So I asked Jim Braddock. Big. popular Jim is the man from whom Loula won the title a little over two years ago. He should have a pretty good Idea. Doea Loula qualify as a truly great fighter. I asked blm, and has ho passed his peak? "Get this," said the former cham pion. "He la the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring. He Is the greatest fighter you will ever see In your life. He's as good now as he was the night he fought me. Why should he be slipping at 35? "No, 1 saw hi mind working. When Pastor survived those first two rounds Louis decided to wait and nail him. After all, that Bob can take a good punch. And he's tough to hit, because he can move both ways. So Joe didn't waste many punches. He Just waited, and the next time he hit Pastor that was the end of It." Braddock opinion 1 good enoiish for me. I think Louis Is the great est fighter I'll ever see. I still get Boose pimples at the start of each fight, when the bell clangs 'and Joe comes slithering out after hla man. Others say they get the same feel ing, as If something terrible were about to happen. Domestic Courts OSAKA.
