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

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.

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

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. Duns
muir, Calif., will slay Ashland
at Ashland.
Sandpoint, Idaho, Oct. 25
