Many Obstacles
Bar Tiger Tilt
With Portland
While everybody hopes that
Medford's Black Tornado can
somehow manage to get on the
same gridiron at the same time
with Portland's prep champions,
probably Jefferson, or Milwau
kie, depending on which wins
their proposed December 2
fame In Multnomah stadium, it
must be admitted that the
chances for such a game are so
slim as to be almost nil.
Regardless of the numerous
obstacles barring tne Dauie,
which would honestly and truly
determine the 1030 state high
school championship, Coach Bill
Bowerman of the Tigers has is
sued Mcdford's challenge to the
winner of the Portland game,
contingent on Mcdford beating
Coquille, and Is hoping for the
best. Although the possibilities
of the clash being arranged are
infinitesimal, there is still an
outside shot that the local offer
will be accepted.
Probably the largest ob
stacle Medford will encounter
in attempting to slate the tilt
is the present ruling of the
state high school athletic as
sociation prohibiting post
season games after December
2. As Medford has challenged
the Portland-Milwaukie win
ner to a December 9 game,
the state association would
have to ashcan the rules for
this occasion and give its of
ficial sanction to the clash.
And anybody who has ever
had any business with the as
sociation knows how hard,
how almost impossible, it is
to get that body to make an
exception to its regulations.
The lone hope seems to be
the milk fund angle. Coach Bow
erman feels that, if the game
were played for the milk fund,
highly worthy charity, the
state association might possibly
sanction the struggle. But even
that is admittedly a forlorn
hops.
A second big obstacle stand
ing in the way of the clash is
Portland's traditional attitude of
making the out of Portland
teams come to them. If the met
ropolitan champions succeed in
beating Milwaukie, which they
will probably do without a great
deal of trouble, It will undoubt
edly take nothing less than, an
earthquake to Jar them out of
the Rose city. We Just can't
imagine a Portland team travel
ing 300 miles for a post-season
game, even though by doing so
they would enjoy a tremendous
gain In the respect of the entire
state. Those Portlnnd clubs just
won't travel for post-senson
clashes.
Of course, If Milwaukie
should boat the Portland champs
that would place a different
light on the situation. Milwau
kie might agree to the game,
provided the state association
gave Its blessings. But Milwau
kie doesn't stand much chance
of getting over the Portland
title-holders, what with their
nine-semester men and all, so
that possibility seems highly
Improbable.
There really appears to he
just one angle which could
bring Medford a game with the
Portland champions, and that
Is the game tomorrow night be
tween Milwnukic and Salem. If
the Vikings could upset Mil
waukie, that would void Mil
waukie's provisional contract
with the Portland champions
and leave the latter without a
game for December 2. In such

case, Portland undoubtedly
would Invite the winner of the
Medford Coquille game here
Thanksgiving Day, for the De
cember 2 battle in Multnomah
stadium. Thus, if Medford beats
Coquille, the Tornado would
probably receive the Portland
bid.
What chance has Salem to
stop Milwaukie? Well on com
parative scores, it would
eem the Vikings have con
siderably more than a fight
ing chance. Salem was de
feated by Eugene by only one
point, 13 to 12, and Eugene
and Milwaukie battled to a 13
to 13 deadlock. In other
words, on paper, Milwaukie
is only one point belter than
Salem. That's pretty close fig
uring; in fact, no margin at
all. So for once, all Medford
will be pulling tooth and toe
nail for its old rival, Salem,
to win a game.
We understand that Klamath
Falls has finaly called it quits
in an attempt to schedule a
post-season game and stowed
their headgears away until 1940.
Several half-way newspaper
challenges were hurled Mcd
ford's way and Pelican fans, and
many local grid addicts, won
dered why no answer was forth
coming from the Tiger school
concerning a possible second
game with Klamath Falls. Here
is Coach Bill Bowerman's an
swer: "There has been considerable
demand from Klamath Falls,
and a few Medford sports fol
lowers, as to why Medford
school officials do not reply to
Klamath queries In regards a
football game. There is really no
reason to answer, inasmuch as
Klamath officials have not
asked for a game.
"In looking back over the
football season Medford and
Klamath Falls both have reason
to be proud of their teams.
which have unquestionably
proved themselves outstanding
in the face of all opposition. In
state competition Medford was
very fortunate this year, where
as Klamath Falls was the victim
of two bad breaks, one of which
was an unfortunate number of
ties that detracted from the rec
ognition they should have re
ceived. "Medford and Klamath played
to a tie in their league game,
which caused a deadlock In the
Southern Oregon conference. At
Medford we feel proud that the
team that offered the greatest
competition is a member of our
conference. Should an offer be
forthcoming for a game we are
not sure how it would be re
ceived. Medford would have
very little to gain by such a
game, and it Is our feeling that
either team might sacrifice its
position as leading one of the
strongest . conferences In the
state."
HUSKIES PERFECT PASS
Seattle. Nov. 21(7P1-Ener:tinff
to face sharp-shooting passers
who could hit a turkey at 30
paces, the Washington Huskies
went through their most inten
sive aerial defense practice in
several weeks last night in prep-
paration for the Thankseivine
game against Oregon.
We nren t coini tn hp rnm'Ht
napping if Oregon lives up to
us passing reputation, com
mented Coach Jimmy Pliclan.
None too strong on aerial de
fense this season, the Huskies
are also proceeding on the an
cient battle theory that the best
defense Is a strong offense. They
are whipping plenty of passes of
their own this week.

MILWAUKIE. JEFF
E
E
Dispute Leaves Door Open
, For Medford Tilt With
Maroons; Tigers Over Flu
Portland, Nov. 21. (P)
Medford high school's challenge
to the winner of the Jeffcrson
Milwaukie football game Dec.
2 for a game on Dec. 9 is pre
mature. Jefferson high officials
pointed out today.
No Jefferson-Milwaukie game
is scheduled and none will be
if Milwaukie refuses to let Jef
ferson's ninth semester men
play. Ninth termers banned by
the state high school association,
have been a source of dispute
between Portland and up-state
schools for years. The up-state
players are eligible only for
eight semesters.
Medford suggested the Dec.
9 game to settle the state cham
pionship. The challenge was
contingent on a Medford victory
over Coquille Thursday.
In commenting on the above
dispatch from Portland, Prin
cipal Leonard P. Mayfield and
Coach Bill Bowerman of Med
ford high said that they planned
to open negotiations immediate
ly with Milwaukie high for a
game here on December 2, con
tingent upon Medford defeating
Coquillo here Thanksgiving Day
and Milwaukie beating Salem
high Wednesday night. .
They explained that if the
proposed Milwaukie-Jefferson
high game on December 2
didn't materialize, because of
the ninth-term dispute, that
would leave Milwaukie with
out a game on that date. It was
the opinion of both Mayfield
and Bowerman that the state
high school athletic association
would refuse to give Milwaukie
permission to play the Portland
school if the latter used nine
term men.
However. Mayfield and Bow
erman pointed out, if the Mil-
waukie-Portland game on De
cember 2 does go through, Med
ford s original challenge to the
winner for a December 9 clash
here still stands. They explained
they were opening negotiations
with Milwaukie just in case the
Milwaukie-Portland tilt isn't
played.
Thurman Ready
Coach Bowerman said today
that all the Black Tornado reg
ulars were ready to see action
against Coquillc's unscorod-upon
Red Devils here Thursday after
noon, although one of them
Center Harry Thurman was
still pretty weak from the ef
fects of the flu. Thurman lost
15 pounds in one week, but will
start the game.
The lineup Medford will toss
against Spike Leslie's high
scoring aggregation will be the
same as that which has opened
nil the Tigers' tough battles
this season. Alden Hibbert and
Dale Howard will be at the
guards. Bill Clute and Al Bar
row at the tackles, Don Mover
and Stan Winter at the ends,
Louie Thurman at quarter, Hob
New-land and Billy Piche at the
halfbacks and John Saulsberry
at full.
Easy Workouts
The Tornado will take things
easy today and tomorrow, Bow
erman stated, with the boys
merely keeping the kinks out
of their muscles with signal
drills and pass defense and of
fense workouts. Much attention
will be paid to aerial defense,
ns Coquille boasts a fine up
stairs attack based on Fullback
Don Krantz on the pitching end
and several fine snaggers on
the receiving end.
The Red Devils, who have run
up one of the most amazing
records in state history, will
bring 20 players to Medford.
They will probably arrive Wed
nesday night.
JACKIE ROBINSON TO

BOZELL DEFEATS
Behind by one fall and ap
parently on the verge of being
conquered by Sgt. Bob Kenas
ton, Paul Bozell slapped on two
Boston crab holds in the armory
last night to defeat' the Gold
Hiller, two falls to one, in a
rough, spectacular wrestling
match before a large crowd.
Bozell's second and deciding
tumble came after 22 minutes
of rip-roaring action. With the
falls standing one apiece, Ken
aston was methodically choking
and eye-gouging the erstwhile
Black Dragon into submission,
preparatory to finishing things
with his Gold Hill swivel. Some
how, Bozell bounced off the
ropes, sonnenberged Kenaston
to the canvas and clamped on
the crab hold. The ex-Marine
sergeant was forced to give up.
Kenaston took the first fall in
10 minutes with his swivel man
euver, after roughing Bozell to
a fare-thee-well. Bozell came
back to even the score in seven
minutes with his first Boston
crab, a hold he set up with a
painful and weakening hammer
lock. Kenaston, all through the
first two falls, poured on the
rough stuff and it looked like
Bozell wouldn't be able to
weather the storm.
Ernie Piluso. Portland flash,
lost his first match in the Med
ford arena to Hans (Hitler)
Schulz, in the middle event,
when the big German slapped
him out of the ring and onto
the floor. The shock of crashing
out of the squared circle so
siuuiitru ruusu mat ne was un
able to continue wrestling.
For one round Schulz pun
ished Piluso unmercifully with
blows to the head and body and
his usual brand of dirt, but in
the second heat Ernie took con
trol of things and obtained a
fall. A sensational series of
sonnenbergs, followed by a body
press, brought the Portland
matman the fall.
Piluso, in the fifth round,
started another series of son
enbergs but this time they back
fired. After being bounced to
the canvas three times, Schulz
leaped aside as Piluso hurtled
toward him, and as Ernie
flashed past - the German cut
loose with a terrific wallop to
the back of Piluso's head. Earnie
sailed on through the ropes and
onto the floor outside, finishing
him for the evening.
In a great dropkicklng duel,
King Kong Clayton took two
falls to Herb Parks' one in the
opener. Parks, a newcomer
from Vancouver, B. C, and a
fine wrestler, used a dropkick
and a press to win the first fall
in six seconds of the first round.
He simply came from his cor
ner and fired one shot to Clay
ton's whiskers.
The Negro employed a leg
breaker In the fourth heat to
even the score, then blasted sev
eral dropklcks to Parks' head
in the fifth round and followed
it up with a press for the
match.

Texas Aggies Replace Vols
As Top Grid Team of Nation
By Bill Whit.
New York, Nov. 21. P Like a Judge at a bathing beauty
contest would pass up a knock-kneed gal, football's critics from
coast to coast this week passed up the unbeaten Volunteers
of Tennesee and named Texas Aggies as the nation's outstand
ing grid power.
It took a lot of undoing to
take Tennessee out of the leader
ship it had held for four straight
weeks in the Associated Press
country-wide poll. But the Ag
gies, just one game away from a
perfect season, garnered 38 first
place votes, 37 for second and
17 for third on 110 ballots, or a
total of 963 points In the sixth
vote of the season.
That was enough to surpass
Tennessee by 65 points, but the
surprises didn't end there. Cor
nell, pride of the east, rolled up
a popular vote of 865 points
just 33 shy of the Tennessee
total of 898. The 19-0 shellack
ing handed Rice by the Aggies,
Cornell's 35-6 walloping of Dart
mouth, and Tennesee's compara
tively narrow squeak in beating
Vanderbilt, only 13-0. all appar
ently were considered important
by the writers who participated
in the poll.
