PAGV STX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Medford Still Remembers 1936 Loss to Eugene Medford and Ashland Junior High Teams Clash Tonight The last time a Medford high school football team jaunted to Eugene to play Fritz Cramers Axmen, the local boys didn t do so well. In face, on that bit ter occasion in 1936, the Black Tornado suffered one of its worst defeats in history. The score was 44 to 0. No such butchery will take place Friday night when the Tigers and Axmen line up for the kickoff in Eugene. The game is considered a tossup in every respect, and if there are two touchdowns difference between the two clubs at the game's end we, for one, will be mighty sur prised. Our choice to win is Medford, but by not much and lifter a scorcher. Since that 44 to 0 annihilation of the Tigers, Bowcrman's lads have done themselves proud as regards Eugene. In 1937 the big Cramer eleven came to town on Thanksgiving Day and was slop ped, 13 to 7. Last season, as you all remember, Medford got its hands on the ball last and made It two straight with a 25 to IB conquest. Those two victories eased somewhat the anguish caused by the 1936 massacre, but Bowerman is a man with' a long memory and ha can't for get. It was the most lopsided defeat the Medford coach has ever been forced to gulp down, and ha still bristles when the Axmen are mentioned. A vin over the Eugeneans this sea ton, making it three In a row. will not only put the Tigers close to the top in the state, but make Bill Bowerman a very happy gentleman. Some little brothers of former All-Amcricnn grid stars are liv-l ing up to the family name: Bill Goldberg is flashing for Davis Elkins, young Joe Osmanski is filling brother Bill's shoes nicely at Holy Cross and Mike Francis, brudder of the famous Sam, Is rated a coming star for Nebraska . . .

(P) Broadway saw one of its favor ite sons reach the end of the road in Madison Square Garden last night and it wasn't a pretty sight. Old and ring-wise Tony Can zoneri, veteran of 166 stirring battles, was belted into oblivion by the stinging left hand of a young Brooklyn kid, placid Al Davis, in the third round of a scheduled 10-rounder in the some arena where his fight with AI Singer set an attendance rec ord back in 1928, the same ring where he lost the featherweight title to Andre Routis, the same ring where he won the light weight title from Singer in 1930. Hopes It's Last Fight Afterwards the Canzoneri dressing room was like a tomb in sharp contrast to the stuffy quarters where Davis changed into street togs. "Well, it had to come some time," Tony mumbled through a cut lip. His followers nodded sadly. He said he hadn't any plans but when asked if this was his last fight he looked glumly up and said, "Gosh, I hope so." His right eye was badly dam aged from the blows of Davis, the smiling slugger. A momentary roar from the crowd of 12.750 greeted the end of the Canzoneri saga, and they filed out almost as though they were passing T o n y's bier, shocked and stunned that the end had come so quickly to their idol. Left Starts Downfall Early in the third round, Davis knocked Tony wobbly with a thunderous left hand. Tony flopped to the floor, but managed to get up at the count of three. The husky Davis hurt led across the ring and blasted him again with another flurry and floored him again with a numbing left. He struggled up at six, but Referee Arthur Donovan, wav ing the eager Davis away, put his arm around Tony, and led him to his corner. The fight ended officially at 2:13 of the third round, and drew a gate of $30,793.09, of which Davis and Tony will take about $8,500 apiece. Danzig has an area of 754 square miles little more than half that of Rhode Island, small est state in the United States, with 1.248 square miles. Danzig has a population of 407,000 per sons fewer than 44 of the United States.
