Oregon' Major
Prep Teams Face
Tough Week-End
Oregon's prep football Rianls,
those few remaining undefeated
and untied aggregations who
still are able to cast longing
eyes toward the mythical state
championship after hard early
icason campaigning, face stiff
competition this week-end. So
stiff that one or more may drop
out of the running, knocked olf
by capable clubs whose records
are already besmirched by a tie
or a defeat but whose potency is
none the less undiminished.
The spotlight of interest lo
cally, of course, will be centered
on Klamath Falls, where Mod
ford's Black Tornado risks its
undefeated and untied record
against the thrice-tied but un
beaten Pelicans Friday night.
That Klamath Falls will provide
the Tigers with their toughest
game to date is an accepted fact,
and nobody in this section is
conceding a Medford victory
without a terrific battle.
Another fine undefeated
and untied slate goes on the
block when Bend high's pow
erful Lava Bears, who clash
with Medford here a week
from tomorrow night, travel
to Albany to take on Tommy
Swanson's surprising Pirates.
Bend has copped five straight
games and is gunning for the
stale title, but the Lava Bears
will have their hands full In
Albany, defeater of Salom last
week by a 26 to 0 score.
Mil waul; ie, considered the
atrnngest team in the northern
end of the state, outside Port
land, goes against an Oregon
City outfit figured to have a
fair chance of emerging on the
long end of the score. Milwaukie
has won four straight and hasn't
been scored on.
Eugene's A x m e n, another
Medford opponent later in the
season, takes on Corvallis in a
game which will provide a defi
nite basis of comparison between
the Axmcn and Tigers. Medford
beat Corvallis, 31 to 14, three
weeks ago. Eugene is unbeaten
In three starts against Oregon
competition, but dropped a 19
to 0 tilt to Dutch Shields' Van
couver, Wash., preppers last
week.
In the southern coast sector
Coquillo, unbeaten and unscorcd
on, tackles Myrtle Point. A
game that will eliminate one of
the state's ranking teams will
take place at Pendleton between
that team and LnGrandu. Nei
ther club has tasted defeat or
tie, Pendleton having won three

Itiney Cook's grid youngsters.
Opening kickoff is slated for 8
o'clock.
With two victories in three
starts this year, including a 32

ARMSTRONG PLANS
T
Seattle, Oct. 19 (A P) Homi
cide Henry Armstrong, the busy
little negro welterweight cham
pion, who was poet laureate of
his St. Louis high school 10 years
ago, hopes to hang up his gloves
in one more year.
Then he'll retire to a life of
beating out rhythm in verse, in
stead of on somebody's ribs. He
wants to write, both poetry and
prose. A bard rather than a
bombardier. A mitt-slinger turn
ed minnesinger.
"I figure in one more year I'll
have enough money to bring me
security. Yeah, social security,"
he grinned. "Then I'm going to
quit. 1 haven't had much time
for writing, what with all this
fighting. But after 1 retire I'll
have plenty of time for it."

A rare treat is in store for
local horseshoe players and fans
when Ira Allen, one of the finest

in an exhibition Saturday after
noon at 2:30 at the Medford

For the last three years Allen
lias won the annual open Coast
tournament in Santa Cruz, Cal.
Last year he copped the Golden
Gate open in San Francisco,
averaging 76.4 percent, and he
also won the Northern Califor
nia tournament in San Fran
eiseo last year, averaging 75.8.
Allen will engage in exhibi

ability to pitch ringers.

Game at 8 P. M. Friday
Medford's high-powered Black
Tornado grid machine, winners
of four straight games this
season, heads for Klamath Falls
tomorrow to face the unbeaten
but thrice-tied Pelicans in a
game which probably will de
termine the 1939 Southern Ore
gon conference championship,
won the past two years by Med
ford. The game starts at 8 p. m.
on Modoc field.
Coach Bill Bowerman of the
Tigers said today that all play
ers were in fine physical and
mental condition for the an
nual southern Oregon "civil
war." A few of the boys have
minor bruises and aches from
the tough Eureka game but all
are ready to see action.
No startling changes will be
made in the Tiger lineup from
that which opened against Eu
reka, the coach said. Billy Piche.
right halfback, will be back in
his regular position after sit
ting out one game because of
an injured leg. At fullback will
be cither Ike Orr, sophomore,
or John Saulsberry, battering
ram senior. Remainder of the
backfield will be Bob Newland
at left half and Louie Thurman
at quarter.
In the line Don Moyer and
Stan Winter will be at the ends,
Bill Clute and Al Barrow at
the tackles, Dale Howard and
Alden Hibbert at the guards and
lterry Thurman at center.
Tigers Leave At Noon
The Medford squad, with its
coaches, will leave Medford at
noon tomorrow in a school bus.
The team will not take a work
out on the Modoc field turf
before the game, Bowerman
said. Several hundred local fans
are expected to follow the team
later in the day.
Snowy Gustafson's Pelicans,
fresh from their 39 to 0 victory
over Ashland last Friday, are
reported to be in excellent
shape for the Medford invasion.
The Klamathics will line up
with Walt Saulsberry at quar
terback, Bobby Anacker at left
half, Ramos at right half, Rush
at full, Webber and Love at
ends, Barnctt and Heitman at
tackles, Wilson and Slaymaker
at guards and Coffman, 230
pound giant, at center.
Mayfield Only Ineligible
Quashing reports here that
two other Klamath players, be
sides Lee Mayfield, had been

WAR OUTGROWTH
OF
G
Marriaae of Marshal
Blomberg Started Chain
of Events Says Henderson
London, Oct. 19. (AP) A
government white paper hinted
today the marriage of Ger
many's then war minister, Mar
shal Werner von Blomberg, to
his stenographer on Jan. 12,
1938, started a chain of events
which precipitated the present
war.
Sir Nevile Henderson, in an
other account of his ambassador
ship in Berlin, told the British
foreign secretary, Lord Halifax:
"In my report on the events
0'of 1938' 1 drew your lordshiP's
dllt'iiiUM lu me iai -i uatiiiiig anu
unfortunate results of the Blom
berg marriage.
Brought Disaster.
"I am more than ever con
vinced of the major disaster
which that in itself minor in
cident involved, owing to the
consequent elimination from
Herr Hitler's entourage of the
more moderate of his advisers,
such as Field Marshal von Blom
berg himself, Baron von Neur
ath, Generals Fritsch, Beck and
others."
(Von Blombcrg's marriage to
the blonde Erika Gruhn, a car
penter's daughter, was witnessed
by both Hitler and the No. 2
Nazi, Col. -Gen. Chermann Wil
hclm Goering.
(Colonel-General Werner Von
Fritsch, then commander-in-chief
of the Reichstag, was said
to have acted as the spokesman
for the officer's corps, in pro
testing to Hitler the marriage
was socially "impossible."
(The result was that Hitler as
sumed personal command of the
armed forces and ousted von
Blomberg, von Fritsch and 13
other high-ranking officers, in
j general shaKcup ol uic socially-
conscious corps,
(Von Fritsch, who remained
in the army without a command,
was killed Sept. 23 in the siefie
of Warsaw a siege which Sir
Nevile now intimates might
never have occurred had it not
been for the von Blomberg af
fair in which von Fritsch took
so prominent a part.
(Gen. Ludwick Beck resigned
last October because he refused
to see eye to eye with Hitler,

it was reported, on the Austrian
and Czechoslovak occupations.
(Baron Konstantin Von Neu
rath lost control of the Ger
man foreign policy at the time
of the general arm reorganiza
tion, and eventually was rele
gated to the position of "pro
tector" of Bohemia and Moravia
in former Czecho-Slovakia).
Sir Nevilc's report to Lord
Halfix added that after the Von
Blomberg denouement of Fell-
ruary, last year, "Herr Hitler
! became more and more shut off
from external influences and a
law unto himself."
Hitler's Decision
Hitler decided upon war with
out consulting any advisers, Sir
Nevile said, observing, "the tra
gedy of any dictator is that as
he goes on, his entourage stead
ily and inexorably deteriorates.
For lack of "freedom of utter
ance, he loses the services of
the best men.
"All opposition becomes in
tolerable to him. All those there
fore bold enough to express
opinions contrary to his views
are shed one by one, and he is
in tlie end surrounded by mere
yes men whose flattery and
counsels alone are endurable to
him."
He commented that, "Herr
Hitler and national socialism
are the products ol the defeat
of a great nation in war and
its reaction against the confus
ion and distress which followed.
. . . It would be idle to deny the
great achievements of the man
who restored to the German
nation its self-respect and its
disciplined orderliness.
"The tyrannical methods
which were employed within
Germany itself to obtain this
result were detestable but were
Germany's own concern."
