Billy Hulen says:
Tie Forseen For
Southern Oregon
Conference Title
As a result of that u to u
tie turned in by Mcdford and
Klamath grid teams in ruamoui
Falls Friday night, it appears
almost a dead certainty the 1939
Southern Oregon conference
championship will be divided
equally between the Tigers and
the Pelicans.
Unless the unforseen happens
and Grants Pass upsets the
Klamathites or Ashland rises up
to lick Medford, both Klamath
Falls and Mcdford will end the
league schedule with two wins,
and one tie. As it
stands now Medford has beaten
Grants Pass and tied Klamath,
and has only Ashland to get
over on Armistice day to obtain
a co-championship. Klamath
Falls has beaten Ashland and
tied Mcdford, and faces Grants
Pass next Friday in what should
be a breather.
If Jhe remainder of the loop
race runs true to form
Klamath beats Grants Pass
and Medford lakes Ashland
the Pelicans and Tigort will
be lied for the championship,
marking the first time in
years and years an undis
puted title-holder hasn't been
determined. In facl, we can't
remember of any previous
season the championship was
held by Iwo teams. Two years
ago Klamath and Medford
battled to a scorelosi tie, but
Ashland deadlocked the Peli
cans the same season, 6 to 6,
to give Medford the crown.
Ties are always disappointing,
especially those of the scoreless
variety, and it is no secret that
everyone here In Medford
fans, players and coaches are
not exactly pleased with the out
come of the Tiger-Pelican fra
cas. Quite a chunk of Medford
money was droppend on the
encounter, on those one-point
ipotwagers, and some of the
boys who lost a fin or a ten
are rather free with their criti
cism of several aspects of the
gama.
For one thing, there Is dis
satisfaction over M e d f o r d's
choice of plays when the team
reached K 1 a m a t h's five-yard
line in the fourth quarter and
had four downs in which to
score a touchdown. The grand
stand quarterbacks are claiming
the Tigers should have thrown
Saulsberry straight ahead for at
least three plays, basing their
reasoning on the fact that he
had been ripping the Klamath

line to shreds just prior to New
land's forward pass to Piche,
which put the ball on the five
yard stripe.
We are bold to disagree, and
to remark that, in our opinion,
Quarterback Louie Thurman
called the correct plays. On the
first play Thurman sent Sauls
berry into the middle and the
Klamath line, drawn in for the
goal line stand, tossed the Med
ford fullback for a one-half yard
loss. On the next play Thurman
called Medford's best offensive
maneuver, the play that all year
has proved the mightiest
ground-gainer the Tigers pos
sessed Piche on that reverse
around his own left end.
This was certainly the log
ical play, for it had been
tested under fire time after
lime and had never before
failed. That it did on this
occasion for a t h r e e-yard
loss doesn't prove it was tho
wrong play by any means. So
then, with third down and
eight and a half yards to go,
Newland threw a pass to
Piche which gained one yard.
On this play, as on the pro
ceeding one, what better tac
tic was available? Should
Medford have sent Saulsberry
straight ahead again, with the
ball eight and a half yards
from the goal line, on third
down, and the Klamath line
bunched to bailer down just
such a. play? We think not.
Then, on fourth down and the
goal seven and a half yards
away, there was only one log
ical play, a pass, and it was
completed from Orr to Thur
man and the latter was brought
down on the one-foot line. That
ended Medford's big scoring
threat.
More than one local fan is
sincerely certain that Piche
scored a touchdown on that for
ward pass from Newland; that
he didnt' step out of bounds on
the five-yard line. Perhaps he
did, it was might close and from
the press box it looked like he
DID score. But Referee Jean
Eberhart ruled Piche's foot was
off the field at the five-yard
marker and that's good enough
for us, and also for Coach Bill
Bowerman of the Tigers. After
the game Bill remarked that, so
far as he was concerned, "the
officiating was excellent."
I. Plckem raised his batting
average 46 points to .574 over
the week-end, calling eight
games correctly, missing throe
and seeing one end In a tie
Medford-Klamath. The prognos-
tlcator is rapidly moving toward
the charmed .000 circle and ex
pects to make it by 1987.
Correct picks were UCLA-
Montana, California-Washington
State, Idaho-Utah, Tennessee
Alabama, Notre Dame-Navy,
Northwestern-Wisconsin, Ohio
State-Minnesota and Texas A.
and M.-Texas Christian. Misses
were Oregon State-Washington,
Oregon-Gonzaga (who didn't)
and New York U.-Carncgie Tech
(also, who didn't?).
The current average looks
like this:

TENNESSEE VOTED
BEST GRID TEAM
IN WEEKLY POLL
Irish In Second Place, Ore
gon State Ranked 14th
And Oregon is Also Ran.
By Bill White.
New York, Oct. 24. (AP)
Little Mercer college of Macon.
Ga., has one consolation at
least it's going to be beaten
next Saturday, barring grld-
dom's greatest upset, by the best
team in the nation, the Volun
teers of Tennesee.
By a margin as wide as from
here to Mars, the Vols stand ac
claimed today as the finest col
lege football crew in the land.
In the second weekly Associated
Press national ranking poll, the
talented southern juggernaut re
ceived 93 first places votes out
of a possible 131 to roll up a
total of 1203 points.
Dominates Picture.
Seldom, if ever, has one team
so dominated the picture. And
not only did the nation s press
box experts pile their plaudits
on the team, but no less a per
sonage than Dr. John Bain
(Jock) Sutherland told metro
politan football writers yester
day he considered the team "one
of the most perfect I have ever'
seen." He added he didn't think
any team in the country could
score on Major Bob Neyland's
crew, let alone beat them!
If there is any team that
could beat the Vols, in the
opinion of the writers, it would
be Notre Dame. The Ramblin'
Irish got 13 votes for first place
and a total of 923 points for
second place in the weekly rank
ings. Standings of the teams (points
figured on a basis of 10 9-8-7-6-3-
4-3-2-1; first place votes in paren
thesis): First Ten.

Portable Radios
Barred From Grid
At Northwestern
Chicago, Oct. 24. (AP)
Portable radio sets were ban
ned today from football games
at Northwestern university. -
Speculators lugged all sorts
of funny looking boxes into
the stands at the Wisconsin
Northwestern game Saturday
and listened to blaring de
scriptions of races at horse
tracks and accounts of other
football games, much to the
annoyance of nearby fans.
Ted Payseur, ticket man
ager, received so many
squawks that he decided port
able sets henceforth must be
left at home.

BELCASTRO LASTS
ONLY 3 MINUTES
WITH BIG GERMAN
Hans (Hitler) Schulz ran his
winning streak to seven straight
in the Medford armory last night
bv Boston crabbing Pete Bel-
i castro into submission in three
minutes, the Italian from Weed
being unable to continue wres
tling after receiving the back
breaking hold.
As a result of last night's
match, a blood-and-thunder af
fair while it lasted, the big Ger
man has completely exhausted
the current competition and
stands all alone at the head of
southern Oregon's brigade of
brawn.
With nobody left to wrestle:
nobody, that is. who would stand
a chance to give- him a battle,
Schulz is looking forward to
meeting King Kong Clayton of
Birmingham, Ala., a 200-pound
colored boy rated one of the
best in the country. It was an
nounced last night that Clayton
would positively appear here
next week, after a popular vote
okayed the "mixed bout" angle.
Promoter Lillard said he would
try to match the Negro with
Scrulz.
Belcastra put up a whale of a
fight while it lasted, which was
quick. He shelled the Nazi with
everything in the book for the
better part of the three min
utes, but finally went down
when Schulz landed a crushing
haymaker behind the ear and
clamped on a crab hold.
The match got under way
while the boys still were pur
portedly listening to Referee
Earl Yoakley's instructions.
Schulz took a swing at Pete be
fore the bell and Belcastro im
mediately swung into action,
after hurriedly doffing his pretty
bathrobe. He attacked Schulz
in the latter's corner and gave
him the works. The German
failed to land a blow for quite
a spell as Pete hammered him
to the canvas time after time and
sent him reeling through the
ropes twice.
It was the second trip through
the hernp that built up the cli
max. Pete knocked Schulz out
side the ring and as the latter
was staggering around on the
ring apron Pete got brave and
attempted to haul Hans back
into the arena. Hans fired his
first blow, a terrific clout that
caught Pete back of the left ear,
and Belcastro hit the carpet.
Like a ten-ton tank, Schulz re
entered the ring, and when Pete
arose Schulz leveled him again,
then flipped him over and clamp
ed on the crab business. That
was all there was to it, as Pete
was too far gone to continue.
Davie Levin managed to do
something few wrestlers have
done he recovered sufficiently
from a Dude Chick lariat spin
to come back for more. How
ever, it was a futile gesture,
for Chick immediately body
slammed Levin for the second
fall and the match.
Chick grabbed the first tum
ble in the fifth round, after
both boys had displayed some
great grappling. He gave Dave
13 revolutions of the whirl. Dave
staggered to his feet as the sixth
round opened but lasted only
five seconds as Chick picked
him up and dumped him to the
mat.
El Pulpo won the opener from
Speed LaRance, two falls to one,
taking the first tumble in the
first round with a rolling body
scissors and the decider la the
third with his pet octopus ma
neuver. LaRance used a Cana
dian grapevine to grab a fall in
the second heat.

San Francisco, Oct. 24. (AP)
Charles S. Howard's great thor
oughbred Seabiscuit was stabled
at Tanforan racetrack today to
start training' for a comeback
which might made him the great
est money-winner of all time.
The six-year-old stake star,
the champion of American turfs
last year with his brilliant tri
umph over War Admiral, came
down with a leg injury last win
ter on the eve of the $100,000
added Santa Anita handicap.
Seabiscuit likely will be en
tered in one of the Tanforan
handicaps next month, and if
he rounds into shape might be
pointed for the 1940 Santa
