Pleased With Two Wins
Some fellow onoe cracked. "How
the mighty hath fallen." and 'or
our money those five words form a
perfect description of the aerlea of
etartltng events which transpired on
the American sporta front on Satur
day and SundBy. last.
Take the case of Ernaat (Schnoi
1e) Lombardl. for Instance, and his
ludlcroua performance In the final
game of the world aeries between the
Cincinnati Reds, champs of that bush
league named the National, and the
New York Yankees, best In the major
American loop.
Mr. Lombardl. It will be remem
bered, waa considered quite a base
ball player last year. In fact, be
waa figured to be such a good base
ball player that he waa voted the
most valuable man In his league. His
big bat produced a hitting mark of
.343, tops In bto circuit, and all In
all Ernest was deemed a, very skillful
exponent of our national pastime.
While not doing so well during the
1030 campaign, Ernest still was far
from sinking Into baseball oblivion.
He caught most of ths Reds' games
and was rated at least third best In
the league, at hla position. Prior to
the series, Ernie waa tabbed aa one of
the Cincy playera most likely to star
auatnst ths Yankeea. If any of them
did.
Then came the crash. Ernie,
the mighty batting champion nf
the year before and bulwark of
the Reds' team, hit the dust. Lit
erally. And over his prostrat
bndy, draped somewhere In the
vicinity of home plate, scurried
Yankee hase-runncrs i coring
from third. As each Yankee spike
hit Into Ernie's skin, the role
lie was to play In the 1030 world
series became plainer and plainer. -He
waa to be the (oat, a goat
more goatish than any since Rog
er Pecklnpaagh booted the ball
all over the lot for Washington
In the 1U25 series.
While Lombardl was the lone base
hall "mighty" to fall over the week
end, there were any number of foot
ball great that had their props
nackea out from under them. Wit
ness Holy Cross, the east's nomina
tion for a national title. And Ford
ham, topped by an under-rated Ala
bama team. And Minnesota, perren
lal Big 10 titan. And Northwestern
and Ita Bill Decorrevont. All were
beaten and now, Instead of visions
of undefeated seasons, they are try
ing to pick up the pieces and climb
halfway back up ths pesk from
whence they tumbled.
This week's hero among purveyora
and markers of that yellow grid
guessing sheet was Pete Clark, the
goirrr-lnsurnncer . . . Pete whacked
out 10 simolrons the hnrd way . . .

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 10. (AP) In
stalled as heavy favorltea, the dazzl
ing Dukes from Durham, N. C, come
to Pittsburgh this week-end to take
up where they left off In the snow
and mud last fall with a 7-0 victory
over Pitt.
But the de-fanged Panther, which
went strictly amateur this year, won't
concede a thing while anxiously
awaiting tha big test. Saya genial
Charley Bowser, new head man of
football at the skyscraper school-house:
"Well Show for Game"
Duke seems to be a lot stronger
offensively this year and their de
fense looks Just aa good aa it did a
year ago. But I'm very well pleased
with my team'a showing against
Washington and West Virginia and
we'll show up for the game."
Regarded for yeara aa one of the
country'a outatandlng power teams,
tha Panthers last fall began to ahow
signs of alr-mlndcdness. Against the
Cowboys of Southern Methodist from
the Texas passing paradise, Pitt took
to tha akylanea for an overwhelming
victory. However, the rest of the sea
son the Panthers stuck pretty much
to power.
But this fall began a new chapter.
De-emphaslzed under a strict ac
counting agreement with the Big Ten
and minus three-quarters of laat
year's "dream" backfleld along with
moat of the regular line, Pitt defi
nitely waa relegated to the second
division In early season predictions.
Washington Beaten
A cross-country air Jaunt to Seattle,
the expert figured, would Just give
tha boys a rids and Jimmy Prclan'a
Huskies a workout. But the Panthera
won with a brilliant pasalng display
featuring the pitching of "-Dandy
Dick" Caaslano, Ions backfleld holdover.
Cam West Virginia with a team
generally regarded aa atronger than
the one beaten 10-O by Pitt last year.
Tha Mountaineers Buffered a 30-0
clawing. Coach Marshall "Sleepy"
Olenn commenting:
"We Just couldn't figure them out
Last year we oould play a 6-3-3 de
fense against their power, but when
we tried that this year they passed
us dlrzy."

SCHULZ DEFEATS
Closing time for Too Late to Clas
sify Ads la 1:30 p. m. I
FJFTH STRAIGHT
Hans (Hitler) Schulx ran his Med
ford victory string to flv straight
In tha Med ford armory last night,
setting down Pete Bel cast ro in a
wild slugging match that lasted less
than 10 minutes and ended shortly
after Belcastro mlp&ed a sonnenberg,
shot through the ropes and nigh
shattered his head on the floor out
side the ring.
The wrestling gods were smiling
at Schulz last night, for Pete, de
termined to halt the big German's
winning streak, dished out a brand
of punishment seldom seen In the
local arena. At no time did the
Nazi horror hold the upper hand
as Belcastro fired sonnenbergs galore,
slugged the German dizzy and out-
speeded and out-maneuvered his
heavier opponent.
If It hadn't been for that spec
tacular trip through the hemp there
could have been only one outcome
a Belcastro victory, decisively but
that Jaunt did occur so Schulz Is
still technically the king of southern
Oregon grappling.
Pete already had one fall when
the accident happened. He had nailed
the German's shoulders to the mat
In eight minutes, following a ter
rific series of sonnenberg 'a that
socked the breath from Schulz and
left him helpless on the canvas.
Belcastro waa well on the way to
hla second straight tumble and the
fans were whooping It up.
Three times Pete battered Schulz
to the carpet with roaring shoulder
butts, then he stood the German
against the ropes and rammed his
head into the Nazi bread basket.
It looked like the end. In some
manner, Schulz staggered to the .
center of the ring and Pete let
fly with the purported payoff, a
sonnenberg that would have snapped
Schulz In two like a stick of kindling.
Aa Belcastro soared through the
air to annihilate his foe, Schulz
sunk to the canvas and Pete, un-1
able to check himself, sailed out
through the ropes. He struck hla
back on the edge of the ring-apron,
then clattered to the hard floor
head first. Referee Earl Yoakley
counted to 30 and at 111 Pete was
attempting to regain his senses.
Pete waa worked on frantically
during the Intermission, and as the
bell sounded for the third and de
ciding fall he was barely able to
stagger to his feet It waa mas
sacre. Schuls, Inside of 36 seconds,
had practically reduced Pete to a
101-pound chunk of nothing and,
after knocking biro to tha floor
with doubled-up fists, pinned him
with a body press for the match.
One flurry, at the sevenmlnute
mark, saw the g rap piers take their
beef Into the second and third row
ringside. Pete kicked Schulz outside,
then followed him, and the brawl
waa broken up by police. When they
returned to the ring Belcastro quickly
tamed the German.
El Pulpo, famous Mexican mat
man, made his Initial appearance
here by bowing to Cowboy Dude
Chick In the middle event, but he
displayed plenty of what it takes.
The newcomer took the first fall
In the third round with his pet
octopus hold, a variation of the roll
lng body scissors, after weakening
Chick with a powerful body scissors.
Chick ended things In the fourth
heat with his airplane spin, revolving
jj umes oerore dumping El Pulpo
to the mat and pinning hira. El
Pulpo couldn't come back and that
was that.
Speedy La Ranee took two straight
falls from Dave Levin In the opener,
both tumbles coming on reverse
wrlstlocks so potent that Levin was
forced to holler when. Levin was
severely handicapped by two pain
ful bolls on hts arm, and went down
In the first and second rounds.
