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.

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. (U.R)
Leslie Simson, 74-year-old re
tired mining engineer and big
game hunter, was found shot to
death in his home here today in
what police reported was a
suicide.

TO PLAY ASHLAND
The football youngsters of
Medford junior high school will
attempt to clinch at least a tie
for the southern Oregon junior
high school conference cham
pionship when they clash with
the Ashland juniors at the sta
dium here Thursday night at 8
o'clock. 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.
He announced that Ivan Har
rington would referee. Barnie
Hughes would umpire and
George Robertson would act as
head linesman.

Beavers Knocking on Door
To Rose Bowl and Grid Fame
Corvallis. 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.
