Sport Graphs Billy Hulen sayj: Viger-Coquille Game To Decide Mythical Title Eugene's feat in tieing Inky Boe and his touted Milwaukie Maroons, 13 to 13, relegates that December 2 clash between the Portland prep champs and Mil waukie to strictly secondary importance, so far as the myth ical state championship situation is concerned. Bv the same token, the Eutfene- Milwaukie deadlock focuses the spotlight of state interest on the Thanksgiving day struggle here between Coquilles unbeaten untied and unscored-upon Red Devils and the undefeated but once-tied local Black Tornado. Any way you look at it, the winner of this latter game can lay potent claim to the state title. Regardless of what Klamath Falls thinks, if Medford defeats Spike Leslie's coast team the Tornado will have a more log ical right to the mythical cro.vn than any other team in the state. The boys on the other side of the Greensprings can cry their eyes out; the fact still will re main that the rest of the state will look upon Medford as the top grid outfit of them all. Why? Well, for one thing, the Black Tornado decisive ly walloped Eugsne. by a healthy 20 to 6 tabulation, and if it hadn't been for an absurd number of penalties the locals would have tallied probably once, maybe twice, more against the Axemen. . For another, Coquille has by far the finest record of any club in Oregon. In eight straight games the Red Devils have averaged over 40 points to their opponents' none A By beating this aggregation the locals will become one. of the three lone teams in the state f with no defeats and only one tie on its record. LaGrande and Milwaukie are the two others, but Medford has played by far the hardest schedule. I. Pickem actually picked an other upset over the week-end, and as a result he is going bareheaded today because there isn't a hat in town big enough to cover his inflated cranium. The fprm-revcrsal was produced by good old Iowa, which for the second straight week lived up to Pickem's advance ballyhoo. Two weeks ago it was Iowa knocking off Notre Dame; Sat urday it was Nile Kinniek pitch ing his Hawkcycs to a 13 to 9 setback of Minnesota. This was Pickem's "minor" upset, which saved him face when his "major" reversal St. Mary's over Fordham failed to occur. However, minor or ma jor, it's still an upset and the prognosticator is smugly satis fied with his week-end labors, which saw him hit eight out of 12, with one a tie. Mr. Pickem picked correctly Oregon State over California, Georgia Tech over Alabama, Tulane over Columbia, Holy Cross over Carnegie Tech, Princeton over Yale, Tennessee over Vanderbilt and Notre Dame over Northwestern, the latter being right on the nose at 7 to 0. He missed on Stanford Washington State, Pitt-Nebraska and St. Mary's-Fordham. The average jumped 11 points to the following: Won Lost Tied Pet. 60 33 9 .645 LEADS SCORERS New York, Nov. 20 (fP) If the I ' iplj of Golden, Colo., elect Coach Johnny Mason mayor, they will have to erect a statute to his ab'est pupil, Lloyd Mad den.

Bob Kenaston versus Paul Bo zell, Hans (Hitler) Schulz against Ernie Piluso, Herb Parks taking on King Kong Clayton that's the triple-decked, all-star mat lineup presented In the Medford armory tonight by Promoter Mack Lillard. Although it Is not ladies night, and all femi nine fans must lay their cash on the line with the other pay ing customers, another capacity crowd is expected to witness the program which opens at 8 o'clock. Only one 100 per cent clean and legitimate struggle is slated to occur, the other two brawls being earmarked for rough and tumble exhibitions with at least one gent in each match kicking over the traces and unleashing plenty of unorthodox stuff. The lone "clean" affair on the card will be six-round opener between King Kong Clayton of Birmingham, Ala., the. flashy, capable Negro, and Herb Parks of Vancouver, B. C, a newcomer to southern Oregon. Parks, according to Lillard, is very fast and colorful, weighing about 185 and being short and heavy-set. He is one of the finest wrestlers in the north west and the promoter expects him to make a solid hit with local mat addicts. The main event featuring Kenaston and Bozell is expected to develop into what all Kenas ton matches usually turn out to be a super colossal slug fost, with nothing barred but legitimate maneuvers. The Gold Hill badman is returning to Medford following a successful jaunt through southern Cali fornia and the southwest, and is said to be in the best con dition of his career. He will have to be, many fans believe, to compete with Bozell, the fromer Black Dragon, who dis posed of Schulz in short order last Monday. Perhaps the best match on the program will be the middle event, slated for six rounds. between Schulz and Ernie Pilu so, the Portland Italian-American, who is Just about the most popular muscle-mangier now working this section. Although he will be out weighed by many pounds, Piluso is confident he can black out the Nazi meanie. Piluso thinks Schulz is slow and awkward, and in general not much of a wrestler. He will attempt to prove his theory and the con sensus is that he will be success ful, notwithstanding Schulz' vast weight advantage. Use Mnll Tribune want Ada.

Tornado Challenges Winner Of Milwaukie-Portland Tilt In an effort to settle once and for all the mythical state prep football championship, Coach Bill Bowerman of the Med ford Black Tornado today issued a public challenge to the winner of the Milwaukie-Jefferson high cember 2 to a game in Medford on December 10, provided that Medford defeats Coquille's Red Devils here next Thursday after noon, Thanksgiving Day. In issuing the challenge fori the game, to be played in Med. ford, Coach Bowerman stated that the Black Tornado had, in years past, traveled six times to play for the mythical title, and that he believed it was about time for other contenders to come to Medford. "We will meet the Milwaukie Jefferson winner on almost any terms," the Medford coach stat ed. "I would suggest that the game be played for the milk fund, or some charity, but re gardless of the basis on which the game could be arranged we would like to play either team and will make any reasonable concessions to do so." Coach Bowerman pointed out that the state high school athle tic association would have to of ficially sanction the game before it could be played, as the rules now prohibit any post-season games after December 2. How ever, he said, this might be done THE ey. i ry . . . PAUL I4MI "IXMNHVI" WHUKIY THAT o Portland gria clash on De if the game were played for the milk fund. The coach announced that Jean Eberhart, athletic director of Southern Oregon College of Education in Ashland, would referee the Medford-Coquille game here Thanksgiving Day, with Joe Gray of Grants Pass, head linesman, and Dale Lillebo of Coquille, umpire. The Coquille game will start at 1 o'clock sharp, and all tickets sold for the La Grande or Mac high game of last Friday, which was postponed, will be honored.

San Francisco, Nov. 20 (JP) Pacific Coast football fans turned today from a dull pig skin week-end to expectations of two "big games" next Sat urday an important clash be tween two top conference teams and a renewal si the far west's most bitter gridiron rivalry. While the traditional enemies, California and Stanford, clash before a near-capacity crowd at Palo Alto in an insignificant game insofar as the conference is concerned, the undefeated Bruins of University of Califor nia at Los Angeles will enter tain Oregon State in a game that could put the Beavers right up there in the Rose Bowl running. Boavers Win Five Oregon State, 21 to 0 victor over California Saturday, has won five games and lost one that to powerful Southern Call fornia, 19 to 7. U.C.L.A., tied 14 to 14 by a weak Stanford team several weeks ago but otherwise unbeaten in the con ference, held the strong Santa Clara Broncos to a scoreless tie Saturday. Southern California, topheavy favorite to take the conference crown and the Rose Bowl bid despite an early-season tie with Oregon, was idle last Saturday. The Trojans hook up witn Notre Dame at South Bend this week in their annual get-together. They're celebrating Thanks giving Thursday in these parts, and two games are on the turkey day slate. Portland Plays Gonzaga At Seattle, Oregon will play University of Washington in an other conference game with little significance. At Fresno, Calif., San Jose State and Fresno State, each undefeated and un tied, will meet Thursday after noon. Santa Clara will play Loyola at Los Angeles Sunday while Gonzaga goes to Portland Uni versity.
