PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1939. Sport Graphs Bill; Hulen iayi: Tornado Reveal Rallying Ability In Opening Game One of the most pleasing points In the Medlord high school foot ball picture, noted by curbstone quarterback Friday night when the xii7Pr owned their 1030 season with i 21 to II conquest of Weed, was the ability of the Black Tornado to get down to toucnaown .hiii it wu Imperative. Three times the Tiger elmply had to manufacture point to win ine h.u me. and three tlmea they Pitched ud their brltchei and gen crated sufficient power to get those tallies. In short, the locals came ,, tuhlnrl twice at 0 to 6 to make it 7 to 8 and at 7 to 13 to make It IS to 12 and then to matters ther had what It takes to break a IB-all tie with six minutes to play and win the strog- ale. Naturally, ths downtown coaches enjoyed their usual field day after the tilt, and out of the mass of eeoond-guesalngs, criticisms, praises and general alrlnga of opinion, this fact emerged as the most popular consensus the Tigers still possess that traditional Medford character istic of being able to com up from the rear and go on to win. uks Medford teams In the past they are doubly dangerous when th go ing get tough. So far as Bill Dowerman was eonoerned, th Tiger turned In a satisfactory first-gam per formance, lie was neither over Joyed nor down-ln-the mouth at the Tornado's Initial exhibi tion. He figured the boys showed flashes of fine things to come, but at the same lime he noted many weaknesses which will ' have to be corrected If the Tigers are to wad through their killer schedule with more than mediocre success. Bowerman was pleased at th gen eral defensive performance of the line. He liked Newland'a punting, .which averaged 40-plua yards In five boots. He liked th ball-carrying of Ike Orr, playing his first high school grid game, and he was aat lsfled with the operation of the backs as a whole. On th other hand th mentor was far from pleased with the of fensive performance of the for ward wall. Ther waa very llttl downtleld blocking, he pointed out, thus working a hardship on the backs, who several times found themselves past the Una of scrim mage but trapped by th Weed seoondary, ' Concerning the play of Medford'a Inexperienced ends, Bowerman said they didn't do badly in light of th fact that It was their first prep game. He aald th tackles were partly to blame for the yard age Weed made on wldo sweeps around the flanka, explaining that the ends were forced to play In close to narrow the apace between them and the tackles, who didn't shift correctly with the Weed of fense. Mr. X. Plckem, world's foremost grid prognoetlcator, was In his us ual form on the wock-ond games. Making his first appearance of the ' new acason, Plckom correctly called the turn on one gam out of alx. Some people might acoff at this record, might even make of It a hilarious Joke, but Mr. Plckem la content with the thought that If Weed had beaten Medford hta aver age would have been fiero. As It Is, the old percentage Is almost as high as Lefty Oomes's batting aver age. Nothing spectacular, under stand, but , good, substantial .167. Yea, that Mcdford-Weed game ended as Plckem predicted, with the locals on the long end of the score. The other five "picks." were not so hot. Not even warm. In fact. Oonzaga didn't beat Wash' Ington state. Portland u. was up set by Montana State and the San Diego Mnrlnea cracked Willamette. Klamath and Franklin high of Port land tied, Instead of th Pelicans winning, and Ashland deadlocked Yrrka. Instead of copping. BEARCATS LOSE 26-0 TO MARINE ELEVEN SAN DIEGO, Cal..

Promoter Mack Ullard, answering ths requests of scores of local fans that Wilson be given the oppor tunity to blast Bchuls Into oblivion, ha slated the two gladiators for th on hour main event. Th fea ture attraction tops an all-heavy-welght program, one of th first ever to be presented her. Newcomer In Action Joe Smoltnskl, baby-faced Pole, tackles Dav Levin, former heavy weight title-holder, In the six-round middle event. Starting th evening will be Billy Venable. tn mean bov from Texas, In action against Stanley Mayslack, 320-pound Checho slovakian from San Francisco. This will be Mayslack's first shot at tn grappl gam In southern Oregon, and If reporta from tne nay aw trict are correct he will prove a popular muscle-mangier. He Is olean and scientific, Llllard explained, and a great crowd-pleaser. Wilson, ths well-liked ana cepacia ex-ndlron atar, has his Job cut out for him against the Nar.1 ter ror, who has calmly and easily de- commissioned Taro I to and Joe Smollnakl since coming her to send spectators Into a frenzy of hatred by his cruelty and high powered foullngs. Wilson comment Wilson realizes Just what he will have to contend with when he squares off against Schulz, but he has faced other mat maniac ana more than taken care of himself and he see no reason why Schulz's special brand of dirty work ahould be any different. Wilson knows he'll have to absorb brutal punishment such as halr-pulllng, eye-gouging, kneeing and Illegal punchea. He Is aware, also, that Schulz Is rugged enough to withstand a considerable amount of his own sonnenberglng and flying-tackle maneuvera. But, Wilson Is confident that, sooner or later, the glgantlo German will hit th deck from the effect of the Wilson body smashes and this Is th plan of attack oeorge has mapped out. He will keep firing until something caves In. The middle bout, like the head liner, should provide thrills and chills for the clients. Smollnskl, de feated by Schulz last week. Is snort ing and fuming to finally win a motch and he'll turn on the works against Levin, a gentleman grap pler. The cleanle versus meanle sit uation will hold forth lrf this tussle. The opener will feoture two scien tific matmen In combat, as both Venable and Mayslack care nothing for roughneck tactics.

MS WIN Harry Leggett Pitches Med ford To 5-4 Victory Hoffard, Lewis Lead Bat ting Assault On Crippen. Paul Hoffard 'a Medford Craters brought their 1939 Southern Oregon leagua baseball season to a roaring climax yesterday at Grant Pass by defeating the Merchants, b to 4. to win the third and deciding game of the Shaughnesay playoff finals and gain possession of the Dom Pro vost president's cup, emblematic of the playoff championship. The victory, produced by the fine flinging of Harry Leggett and the hitting of Manager Hoffard and Dick Lewla, topped a lata -season drive that saw the Craters belt over Crescent City In th playoff eeml-flnals. then take two straight from Orants Pass after dropping the first tilt of their title series. Med for finished third In the regular league pennant race, while Grant Pass and Crescent City ended In a tie for first place. Game Clinched Early The battling Craters landed on their erstwhile nemesis Steve Crip pen for all their five runs In the first two Innings, then successfully fought off a Granta Pasa rally that fell one run short of deadlocking the score In the eighth Inning and threatened to tie It up In the ninth. Leggett. smart righthander with the sharp curve and change of pace, waa In great form. He allowed 10 hits, but so tough was he In the clinches that the Merchant were abla to tally only In th first and eighth frames. He fanned two and walked one. Crippen hung up 10 strikeout and allowed eight hits, but the Oratera bunched four of their safeties In the first two innings to chase acros enough runs to win. Three Granta Pass errors also aided the locals In their early splurge. Rally Halted With the Craters leading 5 to 4 In the last half of the ninth, Granta Pass staged a desperate attempt to yank It from the fire but Leggett waa more than equal to the task. Cook, plnch-hltting for Pennell, sin gled to center and Lannlng sacrificed him to second. Ostrom singled In field, putting Cook on third, and the tlelng and winning runs were parked on the bags. Leggett came through by forcing Joe Gray to pop to shortstop and Gordon Howerton to fly out to center, retiring the side. The Craters hurriedly hopped on Crippen In the first frame for three runs. Pointer, leading off, drew a base on balls, and when Catcher Wood erred on Calvert's sacrifice bunt Pointer went to second and Calvert to first. Hoffard singled to center, the first of three blows he collected, and Pointer tallied. Tommy White's sacrifice fly to left scored Calvert. Lewis then singled Infield and Hoffard crossed the plate. After the Merchants scored once In their half of the first on singles by Pennell and Ostrom sandwiched around an error by Hunter Dixon, Medford oame right back In the second heat for two mora runs and the ball game. Leggett Triplet . Leggett exploded the fireworks with a triple to center, the only extra base hit of the afternoon, and scored when Shortstop Ostrom booted Cal- B3?to """" ' ' Aon In Tonight's Top varfs smasb. Hoffard then whacked hi second straight single to center tnd Calvert aplked th plat. That ended Medford's scoring as Crippen tightened up and scattered lour hits throughout the succeeding seven frames, but those runs were suffi cient. For six inning th Merchants couldn't do anything with Leggett's delivery and It began to look aw though that one run In th first frame was all the Grant Passers wen going to get. Leggett allowed only two hits In that stretch, a single by King and on by Oray. Th Merchanta suddenly came to life In the eighth Inning, bunching four hits with three Medford defen sive mishaps for three runs. Gray, Howerton. Crippen and King rapped successive singles to left field. With Dixon. John Oltzen and Pointer com mitting errors, the outburst manu factured three tallies and chopped Medford's lead to 9 to 4. but that was all ths Merchants could do as their ninth Inning uprising was choked off.
