PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Pilots' Victory Over St. Mary's Thrill to Oregon Of all the tradition-shattering grid victories Oregon teams have scored over those erstwhile Cali fornia big shots this season, none is so satisfying and glorious as that which the gallant Portland university Pilots of Coach Bob (Matty) Mathews shoved down the collective throats of St. Mary's Gaels Sunday afternoon in 'Frisco's Kezar stadium. Out-manned, outweighed, out equipped and "out" about every thing else, Matty's men never theless rose up and played the gigantic Moragamen right off their feet to hang up a 14 to 12 conquest. It was a great testi monial to the coaching ability of Mathews, the Old Notre Dame star, and to the flaming spirit of his underdog aggregation. Matty has claimed for two years that Portland university was definitely on the road to major football status, and this victory over St.. Mary's indicates the Pilots haven't very far to go, if they aren't already there. When Portland played Oregon Stat to a 14 to 12 Beaver win the consensus was that Matty's club was performing over its head. Portland's defeat of St. Mary's, however, reveals that Matty really has a football team, one able to take care of itself in any company. What a severe blow Portland's victory must have been to those of the sunshine state, who long have sneered, yawned and even laughed at Oregon football teams. St. Mary's always has been the darling of the Bay dis trict, and this year they were booming the Gaels as national title contenders. To have little Portland come down there and knock their pants off must ran kle no end. It It a great yaar for Ore gon teams In thetr competi tion with California elevens, probably on of the most suc cessful in a blue moon. Al ready the once-mighty Golden Bears of California have been bumped by the Webfoots of Oregon, Troy's Thundering Herd was held to a draw by the same boys from Eugene, and Stanford's once-proud In dians were blanked by Oliver's team. Oregon State has wal loped Stanford and is pointing for U. S. C. If the Beavers can sock the Trojans in Port land Saturday the collapse of the California superiority myth will be complete. For this year, anyway. One of the secrets of Medford high's fine offensive punch un doubtedly is the fine balance found among the Tornado ball carriers. They can all lug the leather, as proved In their aver age-per-carry figures to date. Billy Piche, right half, has the best mark 7.9 yards for every time he grabs the pigskin, but the spread between his average and that of Fullback John Sauls berry, whose average is the low est of the regular mail-packers, is only 3 7 yards. Saulsberry has clipped off an average of 4.02 yards evpry time he carried the apple. Here are the averages to date: Times Yds. Carried Gain Avg.

Rlterlri Tiger -Eugene Game Tops State MEDFORD, AXMEN CLASH IN EUGENE FRIDAY EVENING Milwaukie Plays Corvallis; Scappoose Meets Rainier; Klamath Tries Eureka By Fred Hampson. Associated Press Writer. Oregon's prep football fare this week is low in quantity but high in quality. About half the schools.' includ ing all members of the Portland interscholastic circuit, are rest ing for Armistice contests but it so happens that during the lull all of the undefeated, united eleven are scheduled. What looks like the hottest scrap of the week will be at Eugene where Engene plays the once-tied Medford Black Torna do. Eugene is unbeaten and un tied in Oregon (the Axemen dropped one to Vancouver, Wn.J but had a terrific time shading University high of Eugene last week, 6-0. Medford, on the oth er hand, scuttled Bend, 34-13. Up to the day it played Albany, Bend was undefeated. On be half of Eugene it should be pointed out that University high was undefeated and only once tied up to last week. Milwaukie Favored. Second billing for the week goes to Milwaukie, where Coach Merritt McKeel sics his point-a-minute maulers on Corvallis in a no-name engagement. Mil waukie, noted officially as a high-scoring outfit zoomed high in the title picture by defeating Albany. Albany was the team that wrecked perfect records for Salem and Bend. A third game of state title significance takes place at Ra nter. Scappoose, undefeated and scored on only twice in six games, plays the potent Rainiers, for the Columbia league lead. The two undefeated, united coast teams, Toledo and Co quille, should have no trouble. Coquille plays Marchfield again in the Coos league. Earlier in the season the Red Devils won, 38-0. Coquille has won six and hasn't been scored on. Toledo, seeking its sixth win without tie or loss, has nothing more serious than Philomath to worry about. Bend Meets Pendleton. The biggest central Oregon contest will be between Pendle ton, unbeaten but tied once, and Bend at Bend. Klamath Falls, many times tied but still unde feated, plays Eureka, Calif., at Modoc field. Salem goes to the coast for its annual mix with the lowly As toria Fishermen. The Dalles moves east for a battle with Mil-ton-Freewater. Roseburg will take a crack at Cottage Grove and University High (Eugene) engages a neighbor, Springfield. Suicide. Oakland, Cal., Nov. 1.

A victory for the lo cals will give them a record of three victories and no defeats, with one more game with Grants Pass to play, and will make it impossible for them to finish worse than in a first-place dead lock. Coach Riney Cook said today that the Ashland juniors had improved tremendously since his team defeated them. 32 to 0, in Ashland three weeks ago. and that he expected the game to be one of the hardest of the season.

Ore.. Nov. 1. (") Oregon State College hai waited all its football life for the time, place and circumstances for its big game with Southern California at Portland Saturday. The Beavers, who shine usu ally only in their Pacific coast backyard, now find themselves in the limelight, facing the mighty Trojans, and on the threshold of gridiron fame and shekels, the Rose Bowl. The winner' of Saturday's game, it looks from this distance, is on the road to Pasadena. The Beavers are on the small end of 3 to 1 odds, but that hasn't completely dissipated the odor of roses for them. The squad, small in numbers, got where it is today by stead fast defense and a conservative but accomplished attack. That doesn't mean the. Beavers play dull football; they simply explore the possibilities of well-grounded, carefully-planned action be fore turning to the more spec tacular and often less effective frills. . In his front line. Stiner prob ably will depend Saturday upon his "fighting Irish": John Leo vich, and Bob Pena, ends; John Hackenbruck and Walt Jelsma, tackles; Ed Schultz and Len Younce, guards, and John Tsout souvas, center. Jim Kisselburgh. triple action fullback, is Stiner's all-around backfield leader. George Peters, quarter, and the brothers Vic and Morrie Kohler, halfbacks, are Jim's most dependable aides. Joe Tomich, Gene Gray, Bob Dethman and Medford's Bobbie Olson are four of several good reasons why Stiner won't have to wear down his backfield with another "iron man" stunt. COUGARS FIRE UP FOR .
