Pickem Like Medford, Oregon Troy and Montana Eugene Makes Tornado Slight Favorite in Clash Tonight , 5,000 EXPECTED TO ATTEND GAME Heavy firing is slated for the football front this week-end, but I Pickem feels equal to the task of meeting come what may and all and sundry upsets. With the season average over the .600 mark, the grid prognostl cator is actually becoming con fident, and it wouldn't surprise him a bit if he hit 12 for 12 on tonight and tomorrow's bat tles. (Not much, it wouldn't). Here they are, the dozen peer less picks, and if Pickem misses more than one lay it to over confidence: Medford-Eugenes Ii won't be a picnic for the Tigers, up there in Eugene tonight. If it rains the Civic field dirt grid iron will play havoc with the Tornado's high-geared attack, and regardless of the weather ii will be a close, bruising ball game. Pickem likes Med ford, 13 to 7. Klamath Falls-Eureka: The altitude will effect Jay Wil lard's Eureka eleven, making it less potent than would be the case at sea level, but Pickem can't see anything but a Eureka victory, 7 to 0.

Oregon State-Southern Cali fornia: This may be awful close, despite superior Trojan man power, etc. The Beavers have a terrific line and if their of fense can manage a touchdown anything can happen. From this corner it looks like U.S.C., by 7 to 6. Santa Clara-Stanford: Tiny Thornhill's Indians haven't what It takes to stop the Broncs. Santa Clara by a shutout, 13 to 0.

Rye and Bourbon $1.00 pt., $1.95 qt. Eugene, Oct. 3. CP) The football spotlight will be focused on Eugene tonight when Medford and Eugene hmh schools, two ot Oregon's leading undefeated (within the slate) elevens battle it out for mythical championship recognition. In prep school cir cles the game looms as important as Saturday's collegiate skirmish between OSC and USC in Port land. Coach Bill Bowerman's Black Tornado will be a slight favorite by virtue of last week's 34-13 victory over Bend. Comparative scores, however, against Corval lis, only mutual opponent, favor Fritz Kramer's Axemen. Wide Open Game Clear, cold weather is expect ed to make the game a wide open offensive battle, as spec tacular as Medford's 25-19 vic tory over Eugene in the south last year. A crowd of 5000 is expected to pack Eugene's civic stadium stands. The Black Tornado, unde feated in six starts this year, left Medford at 8:30 this morning in a special bus. All the players, Head Coach Bill Bowerman stated, were in fine fettle for the clash. Same Lineup The mentor nlnnned nn chance in the stnrtintr linnun whlph hne opened most of the games this season. Winter and Moyer will be at the ends, Clute and Barrow at the tackles, Hibbert and How ard at the guards, Harry Thur man at center, Louie Thurman at quarterback, Bob Ncwland ana uiny fiene at the halfbacks and John Saulsberry at full. E JfcV v 1 - , V 1 brother Bruins from Los Ang eles whacking the big Golden Bear, 21 to 7. Washington-Montana: The crystal ball says this one Is the upset, with Montana sur prising the Huskies in Seattle, of all places. Washington did not show much against Stan ford, and who is Stanford? Montana has been pointing for this game, and the Griz zlies will win by 13 to 6. Notre Dame-Army: At last the Irish should win a game by more than the margin of a place-kick or extra-point con version. Notre Dame, 27 to 0. Ohio State-Indiana: The Buck eyes will bounce back from their Cornell defeat to whip In diana, 10 to 6. Tennessee-Louisiana State: If L.S.U. doesn't stop the power ful Vols no team will, this year. Pickem doesn't think the Tigers have what it takes, and calls Tennessee to cop, 14 to 0. Fordham-Ilice: Rice can't Ret going and Fordhnm bent Pitt last week, so it's the Rams, by 20 to 7. Princeton-Harvard: First of the Big Three clashes may be a battle, but Princeton should win, 21 to 14. BEAVERS LEAVITOR MULTNOMAH WORKOUT Corvallis, Nov. 3. UP) Coach Lon Stinar and his Oregon State college griclmcn left here shortly after noon today for Portland, where they will hold a short workout at Multnomah stadium. Stiner said his team, with the exceptions of Ends Ray Vandiver and Leeds Bailey, was in good physical condition for its contest Saturday with the University of Southern California. Vandiver and Bailey will not see action, he said. Use Mull Tribune want arts.

CRACK AT JOE LOUIS Madrid, Nov. 3. (fP) Max Schmeling wants another crack at heavyweight champion Joe Louis "when I can get it." The big German said as much today when he arrived here by plane from Barcelona. He looked in top-notch condition and said he weighed 193 pounds, compared to his usual fighting weight of 100. "I still think I can beat Louis," Schmeling added. However, Max doesn't plan to go to the United States just now. He explained that he was here to look over the ground for a movie, which his wife, Annie Ondra, plans to make in Spain. New York, Nov. 3. fP) The reported presence of M a x Schmeling in Spain, supposed'y enroute to these shores, had created a baffling mystery in local fight circles. At last account nobody had yet offered a sensible solution, and practically everybody had (ried. Only one thing was cer tain: The former heavyweight champion was not sent for. If Max is indoed on his way, then it's his own idea. "I dont' know a thing about it," declared Promoter Mike Jacobs. "If he gets here I might be able to use him. But I don't know. It depends on how people feel about it."

Closing tlmo for Too Late to Clas sify Ads Is 1 :30 p m. 10 38 TO 0 Led by a pile-driving fullback, fnninin Cliff .Tnnps MeHfnrH junior high's flashy gridders scored six loucnaowns to crusn an outweighed and under-manned Ashland iuninr team at the stadium last night, 38 to 0. In a previous game the locals de feated the Lithians, 32 to 0. The yellow-clad lads of Coach Rinev Cook, clicking smoothlv and taking advantage of almost every break, smashed over two touchdowns in each of the first three periods. Jones tallied three times and Isaacs. Diroole and Barker once each. Medford's first score ca ne three minutes after the same ODened when Jones nnnnH.,H across from four yards out. A few moments later Jones broke off Ashland's right tackle for 34 yards to the one-yard line and Barker carried it over through center. In the second Quarter the Mtd. ford line crashed through to block an Ashland mint on the Ashland 35 and Jones scooped up the crazily-bouncing pigskin on the 30 and raced the remain ing distance to the goal line. A short time later Steve Dipple, quarterback, intercepted an Ash land pass on the 50-yard lino and returned it for a touchdowi,. Jones got his third touchdown in the third quarter, hammering over center from the eight-yard line. A forward pass, Barker to Isaics, was good for 35 yards and a touchdown just before ti:e inira period ended. Although outplayed in every department, the Ashland innirr managed to accumulate consider able yardrge with a clever fake punt maneuver and forward passes. However, they never i-e-rioi.sly threatened the Medford goal- line. BEAVER-TROJAN E San Francisco. Nov. 3. (P) Talk of a western representative for the Rose Bowl classic already was in the air today as the Pacific coast football spot light turned on Portland s Mult nomah stadium for the import ant clash between Southern Cal ifornia and Oregon State col lege. It's the most important of three Pacific coast conference games tomorrow, and likely will go a long way in deciding which will play in the New Year's day classic, although one or two other teams still can't be counted out. Southern California, deep in reserve strength and boasting a steam-roller offensive which! rolled over its last three op ponents by three-touchdown margins, will be the favorite over an unbeaten and untied Oregon State team which is on the victory march for the first time in years. U.S.C. has an early-season tie with Oregon on its record. Rainy weather at Portland, or at least a muddy field, might serve to make it anybody s ball game. Another Important contest pits University of California at Los Angeles Bruins against Uni versity of California. The other conference game brings Washington State's thrice-defeated Cougars to Eu gene, Ore., for a game with Uni versity of Oregon, and in a non conference affair Washington takes on Montana at Seattle. Stanford plays University of Santa Clara in another non-conference game at Palo Alto. Barker Picks Southern CaL, Oregon, Broncs and Bruins By Herb Barker New York, Nov. 3.

For two years Lillard has at tempted to sign Piluso for a Med ford appearance but always the popular junior heavyweight was forced to decline because of pressing engagements in the nor thern part of the state. Ex tremely popular, Piluso had been billed almost solid in Portland, Salem and Eugene. Piluso is an Italian-American, weighs 190 and is a fast, clever grapplcr. He was a star amateur wrestler and weight lifter at Portland's Multnomah club be fore turning professional four years ago. Monday night's program will be headlined by Pete Belcastro and Dude Chick, traditionally bitter ring foes. Fresh from his thumping of Hans Schulz last Monday, Belcastro will enter the ring a slight favorite over the lariat-spinning cowboy, but fans are looking for one of the hard est matches in months. King Kong Clayton and Schulz, determined to resume his winning streak which was broken at seven straight by Bel castro, will come to grips in the middle event. It will be ladies night, with all purchasers of a ringside or balcony ticket being given a free ducat to admit a feminine fan. The matches will start at 8 o'clock sharp, instead of 8:30. WEBFOOTERSTAKE LIGHT DRILL BEFORE SATURDAY Eugene.
