PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen lays: Pickem Selects Beavers, Broncs, Stanford, Gaels With the stretch drive of this 1939 football season looming Just ahead, I. Pickem has en cased himself in upset-proof ar mor and hereby challenges the nation's grid teams to take their best shots. After picking Iowa to top Notre Dame last week, it won't matter now whether the prog nosticator loses every game from here on out. ties called one super form reversal and the sat Isfaction gained from doing so will be sufficient to cushion any and all shocks from futuie misses. This week-end's schedule is far from easy, but on the other hand Pickem is far from being a slouch at this prognostication business. The weekly dozen fol lows: Oregon Stale-California: The Beavers are bruisod and battered and might not be in lop mental condition after their Webfooi battle, but . they'll ccore twice to Cal's none. Stanford-W.S.C: In a "who cares' struggle, Stanford will add to Babe Hollingsbery's cup of woe by defeating the Cougars. 7 to 6. Santa Ciara-U. C. L. A.: This one should call for the flip of a coin, but as we are just out of that commodity it's Santa Ciara from the hat, 13 to 7. Georgia Tech-Alabama: From the hat again, Pickem selects Tech to dam the Crimson Tide, 14 to 13. Tulane-Columbia: Lou Little's Columbia club hasn't a chance against one of the finest Tulane teams in years. Tulane by 20 to 0. Fordham-St. Mary's: Kicked around all year, and given no chance to stop Jim Crowley's mighty Rams, the Galloping Gaels of St, Mary's will spring lho week's gigantic upset by knocking Fordham into the Hudson river. Yep, Shis is Pickem's weekly form revers al. Coast teams, especially St. Mary's, seem to go plumb goofy whenever they get on Broadway, and this game will be no exception. Patto this down and don't forget it St. Mary's 6, Fordham 0. Holy Cross - Carnegie Tech: Holy Cross has too much power for the Skibos, and should win by two touchdowns. Minnesota-Iowa: This is Pick em's second, and minor, upset of the week. Iowa to wallop Min nesota, i:i to 6. Pittsburg-Ncbraska: A tough battle, with Pitt nosing out bv 7 to 3. Princeton-Yale: The Tigers figure to be too strong for Yale, about 13 to 0. Notre Dame - Northwestern: The Irish will bounce back from the Iowa affair to stop DeCor revont and his Wildcat, mates, 7 to 0. Tennessee - Vanderbilt: The Vols of Tennessee, by four touchdowns. GUARD WILL CAPTAIN HUSKIES TURKEY DAY Seattle, Nov. 17. (IP) Hop ing it's a good omen, Coach Jim Phelan designated Frank Gar retson, a guard, today to cap tain the University of Washing ton football team against Ore gon here Thanksgiving day. Garretson was captain for the California game, one of the two conference tilts the Huskies have won. Yesterday's stiff workout in dicated Oregon will face a new assortment of passing plays as its Turkey day dish. Dse Mall Tribune want ada. Scngrnin's 7 Crown lllrmlrd lii-kry.

MP) Pacific coast football hits the home stretch this Saturday with only three major games indicat ing a general slackening of busi ness. Two Pacific Coast conference encounters of little significance likely will be overshadowed by the non-conference clash at Los Angeles between Santa Clara, the class of the independents, and the University of California at Los Angeles Bruins. U.C.L.A. Unbeaten U.C.L.A. is the one team on the coast which challenges Southern California s richt to a Rose Bowl bid, and like U.S.C., has only one tie against its rec ord. Santa Clara toppled St. Mary's Purdue, Stanford and Mary's, Purdue, Stanford and The Bruins couid lose to San ta Clara without affecting their conference standing, but a de feat nevertheless might influ ence the selection of a Rose Bowl representative should U. C. L. A. finish in a tie for the conference championship. Southern California is idle this Saturday with its tradi tional battle with Notre Dame a week away. The two conference games pit California against Oregon State at Corvallis and Washington State against Stanford at Palo Alto. Beavers Favored Oregon State's stirring 19 to 14 victory over Oregon last Sat urday puts the Beavers in the favorites' spot against thrice beaten California, but the W, S. C.-Stanford clash is too close to predict. Each has lost four games. San Jose State college hooks up with Loyola at Los Angeles and Fresno State plays Whitticr at the hitters field in night games tonight. Other games tomorrow in clude St. Mary's game with Fordham at New York, Eastern Washington against Gonzaga at at Spokane. FOOTBALL FATALITIES DECREASE FROM LAST YEAR; EIGHT SO FAR LaFayette, Ind., Nov. 17.

Bozell, who doesn't wear a mask anymore, is master of the Boston crab hold and is expected to give the Gold Hiller a terrific tussle. DeCorrevont Has Spark of Greatness, Cleland Claims Young Bill DeCorrevont, who was the most publicized high school f03tball player in history university two years ago, really but develop into a first-rate college star, in the opinion of TIance H. Cleland, president of company, who returned to his from a two and a half week s While In the middlewcst Mr.' Cleland saw DeCorrevont per form twice in the Minnesota Northwestern game at Minnea polis on Nov. 4, and in the Purdue-Northwestern clash at Evan ston, 111., last Saturday and he is high in his praise of the youthful halfback; who once drew over 100.000 spectators to sec him play a high school game in Chicago. "In the Minnesota game," Mr. Cleland recalled, "the score was tied at 7 to 7 with only a few minutes to play, when Coach Lynn Waldorf put DeCorrevont in the game. On the first play he took the hall, swept around Minnesota's left end and ran 'fit yards for a touchdown. Of course he had some great block ing on the run, but he displayed uncanny ability to elude tack lers. Once in the clear he simply outran all the opposition to the goal line. After the game 1 heard Bernie Uierman. Minnesota coach, state that DeCorrevont was a splendid player." In the Purdue game, which the Boilermakers won. 3 to 0. DeCorrevont was unable to get away, Mr. Cleland said, although he did make several nice punt and kickoff returns. Mr. Cleland left here Oct. 31, traveling by automobile to Port land and thence to Chicago by by rail and from there came to train. He returned to Portland Mcdford by auto. BEAT LESNEVICH New York, Nov. 17. (-P) Handsome is as handsome does and in this case "handsome' (in the person of Billy Conn. Hie Pittsburgh Adonis) should do very well for himself. For Billy will be an over whelming favorite as he lays his light-heavyweight title on the line tonight against Gus Les nevich, rugged Cliffsidc, N. J scrapper, in a Madison Square Garden show. The fight will be Conn's sec ond defense of the title he won from Melio Bettina last July 13 in the same ring. Promoter Mike Jacobs esti mates a sell-out crowd will watch the first Garden fight since old Tony Canzoneri hit the canvas and the end of his comeback trail two weeks ago against young Al Davis. The bat tle tonight should draw a gate of about S50.000, Jacobs hopes. Montreal, Nov. 17T (U.P A Montreal, Nov. 16.

MLUSO GRAPPLES IN HANS SCHULZ If Ernie Piluso, the Portland mat flash, can get over his mid dle event set-to with big Hans Schulz next Monday night in the armory, Medford fans will be unanimous in declaring the Ital ian-American one of the finest grapplern ever to step foot in a local ring. As it is, most wrestling ad dicts have a sneaking suspicion that Piluso is just about the best all-around matman they have ever seen. After watching him blast Duke Pettigrove into help lessness twice in a row the gen eral opinion is that Piluso, ex Multnomah club star, is in a class by himself, so far as the ordinary run of grapplers is con cerned. In Schulz, Piluso wiil be fac ing his toughest customer. though, and by defeating him he will rocket to the extreme peak of fandom's admiration. Piluso requested the Schulz match, despite the fact the German will outweigh him by about 45 pounds. Ernie claims that Schulz is rather slow and awkward and expects to have little difficulty in conquering him. Following this middle event, Paul Bozell and Sgt. Eob Ken aston of Gold Hill will tangle in the main event. Kenaston is re turning to Medford after an ex tensive trip through southern California and the southwest, and writes Promoter Mack Lil lard tint he is in excellent con dition. A newcomer to southern Ore gon will be seen in the opener when Herb Parks of Vancouver, B. C, 185 pounds of short, heavy-set and flashy grapple flesh, meets King Kong Clayton, the sensational Negro.

Missouri. and Christman have come a long way since the Ohio State defeat, but this corner takes Ok lahoma. Dartmouth-Cornell: A touch of Ivy here. Dartmouth probably will rebound from the Princeton defeat, but unbeaten Cornell rates the call. Tennessee - Vanderbilt- After last week, who knows where the lightning will strike next?

Duke-North Carolina: Two great southern conference pow ers collide. We'll take North Carolina and suffer the conse quences. Notre Dame - Northwestern: The edge and it isn't much belongs to Notre Dame. Iowa-Minnesota: It's danger ous to pick against the Hawk eyes with Nile Kinnick around, so charge this selection of Min nesota to sheer stubborness.

The Tigers are slowly but surely recovering from a mild epidemic of flu, which laid low A, four regulars before the Ash land game. But, while those regs and four reserves are back in school and taking light work outs, another first-stringer Tackle Al Barrow was sent home yesterday with a very sore throat. He will probably be fit for the Red Devils, however, un less complications develop. Back in uniform are Harry Thurman, center; Billy Piche, right half; Bob Leonard, and Don Moyer, left ends and Kav Johnson, right half. All are rath er weak and shaky on their legs and whether all will be able to go against Coquille still is prob lematical. Coach Bill Bowerman plans only light drills between now and Thanksgiving, in order to give the convalescents every opportunity to regain their strength and spirit for what may 4 be the hardest game of the year. : f sa plliJ SS8S -ft .00 ap -Si .so ap Park Ave Hotel 823 S.H part Part land CRIMSON Met.
