PAGE TWO Belcastro Meets AT 8 O'CLOCK; LAD1ESJN FREE Schulz Faces Clayton in Mid dle Tiff . Piluso, New comer, Meets Pettigrove Pete Belcastro, the grappling gent who last week ended the seven-straight winning streak of Hans (Hitler) Schulz, defends his position at, the top of the south ern Oregon wrestling heap against Cowboy Dude Chick in the armory tonight. The program will open at the new starting time of 8 o'clock, instead of 8:30. It will also be ladies night, with all purchasers of ringside or gallery tickets being given a free ducat to ad mit a feminine fan. Schulz, the big German meanie, steps down from main event billing to take on King Kong Clayton, classy Negro, in the middle event of six 10-min- ute rounds. In the opener, Ernie Piluso, 190-pound Pacific coast light-heavyweight champion, makes his first appearance here against Duke Pettigrove. Action Expected The Belcastro-Chick main go should produce a large amount of wild mat action. Although Chick prefers to wrestle clean he is not above forgetting his lily-white inhibitions when the situation demands, and against the villainous Belcastro he will be forced to toss legitimate ma neuvering to the winds. Chick is especially anxious to defeat his traditional mat foe this evening, for it was Belcastro that did what he, Chick, was unable to accomplish defeat Schulz. Pete walloped the Nazi after Chick was beaten by him, and the thought isn't pleasant to the lariat-spinning cowboy. In the middle bout Schulz will be attempting to get back in main event circles at the expense of Clayton, but he may be foiled. The Birmingham colored boy, wrestling here for the first time last week, displayed about every thing necessary in a great wres tler, and he is big enough to match power for power with the tremendously strong German. GAME HE EVER PLAYED Eugene, Nov. 6. (P) The University of Oregon football squad was happy today not particularly over the Webfoots' 38 0 victory over Washington State Saturday, the Sunday day of rest, or the prospect of meet ing Oregon State college here next Saturday and a victor after three straight losses to the Beavers. The Webfoots were hap py over the best Frank Merrl well football success story of the year. Ronald Alpaugh, third-string senior halfback, attended Frank lin high school in Portland but didn't play football. He turned out for the Oregon freshman team when he came here to the university, but again saw no grid service, and had been one of those much knocked-about varsity reserves for the better part of three seasons before he played in his first football game here Saturday. Alpaugh went into the came with something like two minutes : remaining to play, but no one ! otieed him until, with four sec ends remaining, he caught a 13 yard pass from Steve Anderron and squirmed five more vards to a touchdown.

Black Tornado, Coquille Top State Teams By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Writer As the Oregon prep football season enters the home stretch for 1039, the three stoutest up-state elevens appear to be Mil waukie, Medford and Coquille, but there is a little room for argument.

MEDFORD, HTENNESSEE ROLLS ON TO NATIONAL TITLE, BOWL BID J Michigan Bows to Illinois in Year's Biggest Upset Irish Remain Unbeaten By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 6. U.R The triumphant march of Ten nessee's mighty Volunteers con tinues to feature the 1939 foot ball season. Week after week, Major Neyland's powerful team surges on toward the Rose Bowl and the national championship, untouched by catastrophies that blast the hopes of other grid powers. When the dust settled Satur day night on the nation's field, three more perfect-record teams had their escutcheons smeared: Michigan, Oregon State and Ken tucky. But Tennessee still was unbeaten, untied and unscored upon- in six straight games this season. Vols Unscored On Major Neyland's Knoxvllle juggernaut has rolled up 139 points, an average of about 23 per game. This is an amazing performance in view of the top sy-turvy condition of football among the nation's major col leges, due to the levelling-off process, which is more notice able this season than ever be fore. At Baton Rouge Saturday, Tennessee capitalized on three scoring opportunities to blank Louisiana state, 20-0. It was Ten nessee's 19th straight victory, including triumphs before this season. But at Champaign, 111., an en-1 tirely different story was being. viritten, as mighty Michigan favorite for the Big Ten title I crumbled, 16-7, before Illinois, j which hadn't won a game this . season. It was one of the most I stunning upsets the gridiron fates ever concocted. Kentucky Tied Oregon State's defeat was more or less expected, and little surprise was registered when the Beavers bowed, 19-7, to Southern California's Trojans. Meanwhile, Kentucky suffered its first setback when held to a 7-7 deadlock by Alabama, which had been favored to win. With Michigan blasted, Notre Dame remained as the only Mid western biggie with a clean slate after beating Army, 14 0, before 76,656 fans at Yankee Stadium. Cornell, pride of the east, had difficulties in beating Columbia, 13-7. Texas A. & M., southwest ern titan, continued its steam roller pace with a 27-0 win over Arkansas. This gave the Aggies I a total of 153 points against 16 j for the opposition in seven ! straight victories this season. VAUNTED'GAELS - San Francisco. Nov. 6. IrP) University of Dayton's hard fighting little football squad headed home today after con tributing further to the far west's long list of pigskin sur prises by holding the favored Sw Mary's Gaels to a 6-6 tie. A 44-yard run to the Gael four-yard line by Left Halfback John Padley paved the way for Dayton's touchdown In the first period yesterday. The Dayton boys halted a 36 yard Gael power drive on their 11 and led at halftime, 6 to 0, much to the amazement of more than 10.000 fans. St. Mary's evened the count in the third quarter. LOYOLA DEFEATED BY SAN FRANCISCO Los Angeles. Nov. 6. UV) The University of San Francisco, bat tering back a late final quarter drive that swept to the one-fool line, defeated Loyola's Lions in a spectacular grid battle Sundav 14 to 7. San Francisco took the lead loss than three minutes after the game began when Marvin Mos conl. halfback, raced 68 yards around right end for a touch down. The conversion was good Hole in One Eugene.

Principal Leonard Mayfield announced today that, in a long distance telephone conversation with Spike , Leslie, Coquilia coach, tentative arrangements had been marie for the two clubs to play here on that date. All that remains to clinch the con test is an agreement on finan cial terms, and Mayfield said he was confident these could be completed with little trouble. Mayfield first contacted Mil waukie high, whose unbeaten jnd untied Maroons are being boomed as mythical state title claimants, but no game could be arranged because of Milwau kie's remaining schedule. Prin cipal O. D. Byers of Milwaukie told Mayfield that the Maroons were slated to play Salem on the evening of November 22, and that they had received a tentative bid from Portland to appear in Multnomah stadium on December 2 against the met ropolitan champions. However, Mayfield quoted Byers as stating that if Mil waukie and Portland didn't get together on the December 2 3ame, Milwaukie would be open for a game here on that week end. Milwaukie's arrangement with Portland will be definitely completed by next Wednesday, at which time Medford will learn whether to plan on play ing the Maroons here on the December 2 week-end. The Medford players came through the bruising Eugene game Friday night in pretty fair shape. Coach Bill Bowerman said today. Bill Chite, giant tackle, broke a small bone in his left hand and might not gel in the Ashland game here next Saturday, and Harry Thurman came out of the battle with a .severe charley horse, the coach said.

(U.R) Defeat finally caught the New York Giants Sunday when the dy namic Detroit Lions conquered the world's professional football champions, 18-14, in a heart pounding struggle before 48,492 in Briggs stadium. With this record crowd bank ed, around the home of the De troit Tigers' baseball club, the Giants came to the end of their victory trail which has lasted through 19 games since they were last beaten by the Pitts bugh Pirates and Whizzer White on October 3, 1938, at the Polo grounds.

Communications Criticizes the School Budget To the Editor: In Sunday's Tribune in a state ment by the school board appears some statements that need venti lating. They explain that the "actual tax levy will necessarily be a little higher because there is less j cash on hand this year to bal-1 ance against the budget." In the next budget we are told that they thought it best to increase "maintenance and repairs of buildings" and "capital outlay," while "there is cash on hand." One minute they are short of I Modern-Type Construction Calls For CEMENT Use This Dependable Southern Oregon Product "BEAVER BRAND" PORTLAND CEMENT Beaver Portland Cement Co.

Then the half truth In the statement: "The actual tax levy this year (1939) not the budget was lower as a total for all school purposes than any levy Medford has had for more than 15 years." Now we submit that the poor est football substitute turned out by the Medford system, if he will take "time out" knows that "levy" alone cuts no ice, but only when considered in relation to the base (assessed valuation). Any taxpayer, who has been able to pay his taxes, knows that it is the dollars he has to pungle up to the tax collector that count and also knows his taxes were higher in 1939 than in 1938 or perhaps any other year "for 15 years." The valuation was Increased as much as 50 per cent and in many instances more. I have before me tax receipts with as sessed values, rate and tax for 1938 and 1939 as follows: 1938 $2,590 rate 20.3 tax, S52.58. 1939 $3,850 rate 15.8 tax, $60.83. Or an actual INCREASE, of nearly 16. This wasn't much reduction, "made possible by the large amount of cash on hand." How soon will our public ser vants quit trying to fool the peo ple and begin to put their cards on the table? We realize that this kick will evaporate in thin air, but maybe it will cause a few voters to go to the polls next school election and register a protest that will count. Between the city budget com mittee and the school commit tee, taxes are mounting too fast. Thanks to good state government and a good county budget com mittee, we are getting some re lief.
