PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen iayi: Pete Propoei Schulz Rematch With No Referee Pete Belcastro is a persistent person. Defeated twice In a row by Hans Schulz, the Teutonic terror, Weed's Italian bone-bender still believes he can liquidate the Nazi. Belcastro is so certain he's a better man than Schulz that he has approached Promoter Mack Lillard with a proposition he feels will give him the oppor tunity to prove his superiority over the Hun horror. Pete's proposition is that the pair be rcmatched next Mondny nightWITH NO REFEREE IN THE RING TO HINDER ALL GOINGS-ON. Enlarging upon that plan, Bel castro further stipulated that the referee be planted outside the ring to keep Schulz inside; that the official be available only to declare a fall when one or the other grappler gives up Inside the arena (there would be no three-second-count falls), and the match be of a no-time-limit variety. In other words, Pete explain ed to Lillard, he wants to get the German in that ring with no referee to bother with and with unlimited time In which to work him over. Lillard likes the proposi tion, and believes he can In- . duco the local boxing and wrestling commission io anclion It. The promoter '' hasn't contacted Schuls yei, but he is confident the Ger man will agree. "He's so conceited," Lillard said of Schuls. "that he'll undoubt edly go for the match with no questions asked." For some time now a move ment among several wrestling fans has requested that matches be started a half hour earlier, at 8 o'clock. Instead of 8:30 Lillard has given the matter serious consideration and has decided to put the question to fans attending next week's pro gram. By hand-clapping, the customers will vote on whether to start the matches at 8:30, 8:13 or 8. This writer is going to cam paign for the 8 p. m. starting hour, and cordially Invites all grapple clients to join in. By starting at 8 o'clock the matches, most of the time, would be end ed around 9:30 or at least 10 o'clock, instead of the usual 10 o'clock current windup and sometimes 10:30. In our opinion, most fans In Medford eat early dinners and are ready to strike out for the armory long before 8:30. We believe almost all fans would rather go earlier and get home earlier, by at least a half-hour, than continue with the present starting and geteing-home time. The 8:30 starting time for boxing and wrestling cards It almost universal, granted, but It Is a tradition born In cities where fans eat late dinners and are forced to travel considerable distances to reach the arena. This Is an early-dinner town and almost everyone Is within a five-minuto ride of the arm ory. Medford matches also are staged on Mondays, when a guy doesn't feel ex actly frolicsome after the week-end. and would like to get a good night's sleep. This BendMeclford football game coming up here Friday night may not be a pink tea. If it's like the one the two teams staged at Bend last year it will be nothing short of murderous. The Tigers managed to stop the Lava Bears last season. 12 to 6. but the casualty list was terrific. Not only for the locals but for the Bends, as well. In fact, if memory serves correct, the Lava Bears got slightly the worst of it. what with six of their comrades carried off the field. Carried is the correct word. Coach Bill Bowerman of the Tornado said after the game it was the most savagely. foutihl high school fracas he ever saw. Defeated by Albany last Fri day, 6 to 0, the Lava Bears won't be In a nice frame of mind. That was their first defeat in six starts and they won't like it And, Just to put this on record and tip off the Tigers to what they MIGHT face. Bend was penalized a total of 90 yards in the Albany game. The penal ties, as reported in the Albany newspaper, were as follows: four 15-yardcrs for clipping, one 15 yarder for roushlng and three for offside. Without a doubt the Eldon Cone team plays hard, tough football. How good Is Bend? Well, they have won five out of six ?sme, scoring 148 points to their opponents' ' 27. They beat Hill Military I Di Maggio Voted Most Valuable YANK OUTFIELDER WINS HONOR OVER FOXXOHOSION Feller Places Thirdjoe Gor don Ninth DiMaggio Hits .381 to Lead Circuit. By Tom Slier ChicBgo, Oct. 25 AP) The American League's most valu able player for the 1939 season was Joe DiMaggio, the star of stars on the New York Yankees world championship club. His selection by a committee of 24 members of the baseball writers association of America emphasized once again the fact that power dominated the Junior circuit. DiMaggio's past season with the Yankees was the best of his four in the big-time, his bat carving out a .381 mark, tops for the league. He knocked out 30 homers and drove home 126 runs, by far his most brilliant season. Polls 280 Points DiMaggio polled a total of 280 points out of a possible 336, getting 15 first place votes out of 24. Each first place vote coun ted 14 points, second place votes counted nine points, third place eight points, and so on down to 10th place which was worth one point. The Yankee centerfielder got three second-place votes, three third, one fourth and one fifth. Jimmy Foxx, Boston's slug ging first baseman and most val uable three times already, was second in the voting with 170 points although only one writer gave him a first place nod. Bob Feller, Cleveland pitcher, col lected three first place votes and a total of 135 points for third place. Williams Fourth Ted Williams, Boston rookie gardner, and Charles Ruffing, Yankee pitcher, placed fourth and fifth, respectively, with 126 and 116 points, but neither was given a first place ballot. Bill Dickey, Yankee catcher, rated sixth at 110, including three top votes. Dutch Leonard, Washington pitcher; Bob Johnson, Philadel phia outfielder, Joe Gordon, Yankee second baseman, and Mike Kreevich, Chicago out fielder, rated next in that order with 71- 52, 43 and 38 points respectively. Leonard, who won 20 games for a sixth place club, and Kreevich, got one first place vote apiece. BUCK BERRY AT FULL IN Eugene, Oct. 25. (AP) Buck Berry, an erstwhile halfback, was shifted to fullback on the Oregon eleven yesterday as Coach Tex Oliver worked his club for Saturday's battle with U.C.L.A. nt Los Angeles. Berry held the position for half an hour or so before turning it over to the regular fullback, Frank Emmons. Observers saw the move as an indication that Strenstrom, who alternates with Emmons, might no be ready for action. Stranstrom Injured a leg muscle in the Gonznga game. BEAVERS PLAN AERIAL ATTACK FOR COUGARS Corvallis, Oct., 25. (AP) Oregon State college, unbeaten leader of the Pacific Coast eon ference, concentrated on attaelt during yesterday's Yehearsnls for Saturday's league game with Washington Stntp here. Coach Lon Stiner worked steadily on passing, despite rain and a soggy ball, and said Mtor ward the Beavers would do a lot of pitching and he hoped catching against the Pullman team.

Give At Least J Chest Headquarters M ain Street at Central Avenue TIGERS CRIPPLED FOR BEND BATTLE; HIBBERT IS OUT With its casualty list reading like a report from the western front, Medford's Black Tornado grid squad is hobbling and limp ing through very light practice sessions in preparation for the invasion Friday night of Bend high's Lava Bears, central Ore gon power-house. "I hope we can put a ball club on the field Friday," Coach Bill Bowerman said today, "but it looks rather doubtful." The brutal Klamath game last Friday night took a terrible toll in Tiger injuries, sending one regular definitely to the side lines for the Bend game making two more first-stringers doubt ful starters and banging up four others to such an extent that their effectiveness will be great ly hindered. Alden Hibbert, regular left guard, suffered a fallen arch against the Pelicans and is on crutches. He is out for one week, maybe two. Harry Thurman, center, hurt both legs and received a general going-over that may force him to watch the fracas from the bench. Louie Thurman, quarterback, got a pair of charley-horses, and probably won't start the game. He may not be able to play at all. Al Barrow and Bill Clute, tackles, may not start because of hurts suffered in the Pelican battle. Barrow injured his side and Clute hurt a knee. Billy Piche, right halfback, and John Saulesberry, fullback, will probably play despite pain ful and slowing-down injuries. Piche hurt his hip and Sauls berry got a nasty crack on one knee. Calling on his reserves, Coach Bowerman has been working Jim Wallis in the center position to take the place of Thurman. Dean Grimes will fill in at left guard for Hibbert. Dale How ard, right guard, has been shift ed to the. blocking quarterback position to replace Louie Thur man, and Jack Florey has been moved up to the right guard spot. Ray Johnson and Bob Stead are available for right half if Piche isn't fit, while Ike Orr may start at full if Sauls- berry doesn't come around in time. Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads Is 1:30 p. m. AMERICAN NEIGSSBOR Player in Eugene -Unihi Game Features Prep Grid Slate This Week By Fred Hampson Associated Press Writer The Oregon Webfoots will be on the road again, but Eu gene has a pretty good substitute feature this week end. Eugene High, one of a half-dozen undefeated, untied Oregon elevens stakes its record against a tough cousin, University High of Eugene, Thursday night. The U-Hi eleven is also unde feated but a 7-7 tie with Albany stands against it. That same tie, however, is enough to make Friday's hostilities paramount among the up-state preps. Al bany is the team that wrecked no-loss records for Salem and Bend on successive week ends. Last week University ran Rose burg ragged 26-7. Lost To Vancouver The axmen are also rolling. Last Friday they spotted Cor vallis a 6 point lead, then went on a scoring splurge and won 37-6. They defeated McMinn ville, Tillamook and Oregon City before losing an interstate game with Vancouver, Wash., which, of course, didn't count in the state tabulations. While this neighborhood quar rel is going on Milwaukie's high fliers who consider anything less than five touchdowns, a slump, meet Albany, at Milwaukie. This will be the third straight Fri day on which Coach Tom Swan son has met an unbeaten team. Three weeks ago he spilled Sa lem and last week, Bend. Klamath Favored In the Southern Oregon cir cuit Klamath Falls was favored over Grants Pass at Klamath. Bend will try to get back in winning stride at Medford. The powerful Pearpickers, still un beaten, were tied last week by Klamath Falls. Two strong East siders play when The Dalles in vades Milton-Freewater.
