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:

Bob Kenaston versus Paul Bo

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

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.

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

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

guessing where the ball was Sat

won 13-0. The game was played
in a pea-soup fog.
