I PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen sayi: I. Pickem Calls Medford, Oregon And Notre Dame In order to get In his whack at several important Turkey Day grid clashes, Mr. I. Pickem is releasing his weekly dozen ultra special selections today, instead of Friday. Not all the games In this weeks list are being played on Thanksgiving, but some of them are and the master prognosticator Just couldn't pass up the opportunity of tamng nis best shots at them. This Is the time of year when traditional battles are as plen tiful as upsets have been this season, and as a result the games are getting harder to pick. On the other hand, J. Pickem is get ting better as the campaign wends it merry way to the bitter end. Everything considered, It's about a tossup, with the games being tougher and Pickem being better. Read em and weep: MEDFORD - COQUILLE This intersectional gigantic will be played her tomorrow - afternoon, with the winnah becoming the stale's number one prep outfit. Pickem - hasn't seen the Red Devils perform, but he has Medford's Black Tornado, : and all ha con say is that , Mr. Spike Leslie's crew bet ter be good. With all the 1 locals in good shape and ach ' ing for some body contact business after taking things easy for almost two weeks, Pickem predicts that Coquille will get thumped. But the Devils should score. If their , pass attack is as good as re ported. The turn is called: Medford 20, Coquille 7. MILWAUKIE - SALEM. This one will be played tonight, and Pickem looks for the Inky Boe Maroons to do an el comeback after being deadlocked by Eu gene. Unless the Vikings go plumb off their beans, it should be about 13 to naught in favor of Milwaukie. ASHLAND - GRANTS PASS. Ashland's final chance to win one game this season will pass without accomplishment of that feat. The Cavemen, despite con siderable flu In their neck of the woods, will trip the Grizzlies, 7 to a.

Opening kickoff is slated for 11 a.m. At stake in the struggle will be the cellar championship of the loop. Neither club has won- a conference game, both being de feated by Medford and Klamath Falls. In a previous tilt of non- conference variety. Grants Pass defeated the Ashlanders, 12 to 0, and will be slight favorites to make it two in a row. L FOR UCLA Corvallls, Nov. 22. (IP) Oregon State college finished home practice for Its final Paci fic Coast conference game today and boarded a train for Los Angeles and Saturday's battle with UCLA. A victory would assure the Beavers of second place and would leave them within reach of the title should Southern California lose a game. Although the squad contained innumerable briiises from the last three games with USC, Ore gon and California, only two players were considered of un certain value Saturday, Leonard Younce, end, with a swollen el bow, and Walt Jelsma, tackle, with a damaged knee. UCLANS GIVEN SLIGHT Los Angeles, Nov. 22. (P) Football observers studied the possibilities of the Oregon Stute U.C.L.A. game scheduled Satur day and predicted one of the hardest fought battles of the season would be waged in Mem orial Coliseum. The Uclans should boast a more potent offenso than dis played In Its scoreless tie with Santa Clara, and with Jackie Robinson due to play, they wore given a slight edge In this de partment over the oncoming Reavers.

Phone 1300 for Towing or Wrecker Service Bnnywnere Anytime t 'wis Super Service BOTH TOWNS GRID CRAZY; CROWD OF 4,000EXPECTED Red Devils Score 320 Points To None For Opponents; Game Starts 1 P. M. This town of Medford becomes the prep football center of all Oregon tomorrow afternoon, Thanksgiving Day, when Bill Bowerman shoves his roaring Black Tornado in there against Coquille high's point-crazy Red Devils, a Coos county miracle team that has heaped up a total of 320 points to their opponents' none in eight straight victories. Before an expected 4,000 Tur key Day clients, these two state i title contenders will line up for a 1 o'clock kickoff In a clash destined to place the winner In the role of number one claim ant for the mythical Oregon championship. Not since 1934, when the lo cals battled Washington high of Portland to a 6 to 6 deadlock, has the Black Tornado come so close to reaching the state's prep pinnacle. And never has a Spike Leslie-coached Coquille eleven hung up such an amazing record. 600 Coquillert Coming. Because of this, both towns have gone football crazy. Med ford fans are in a dither of ex citement; they have been eat ing, sleeping and talking foot ball for the past week. In Co quille approximately 800 rabid supporters are planning to fol low their beloved Red Devils to Medford. The local school sent 300 reserved seat ducats to Coquille and they were, gobbled up in two days. In addition, about 200 Red Devil students are coming for the game and probably 50 more general ad mission fans. Both teams are in fine condi tion for the struggle. Coach Bowerman of the Medfords said his team had almost entirely recovered from the flu epidemic of the past two weeks. All regulars, with the possible ex ception of Alden Hibbert, guard, are ready to go. Hibbert has a bad cold, and If he Isn't able to start the game Dean Grimes will open, the coach said. The Tigers will romp through only a limbering-up session today. The Red Devils, 26 strong, will arrive in Medford late this afternoon and may take a light workout on the stadium turf either today or Thursday morn ing. Reports from Coquille say the Leslie aggregation is In the best shape of the year. Passes Expected. The game is expected to de velop into a wide-open, high scoring affair. Both clubs boast potent aerial and running at tacks, with Dee Krantz, full back, and Everett Smith, right half, leading the invaders, and Bob Ncwland, John Saulsberry and Billy Piche pacing the Tiger ortensive. The Tornado will have a substantial weight ad vantage in the line, with the two backfields being about even. Local prognosticators have been tearing their hair in an attempt to get some gauge on the rela tive strength of the two clubs, who have played no common opponents. Medford and Co quille have, however, played opponents who have played each other. This angle figures two ways: Medford is 25 paper points stronger than Coquille on one basis, and the Red Devils are six paper points better than the Tornado on the other. Tigers Favored. Medford beat Grants Pass, 38 to 0, and Grants Pass beat North Bend, 13 to 7. Coquille shel lacked North Bend. 19 to 0. which makes Coquille 13 paper points better than Grants Pass, or 25 paper points weaker than Medford. On the other hand, Grants Pass defeated Roscburg by only a 8 to 0 score, while Coquille was murdering Roscburg. 48 to 0, which makes Coquille 42 paper points stronger than Grants Pass, or six paper points better than Medford.

(IP) After 12 years of diagnosing and treating Stanford's football injuries. Dr. E. F. "Fritz" Roth answers the question, "Shall I let my son play football?" "Why, surel He is playing football." Dr. Roth's son, "Fritz, Jr." plays tackle for the Palo Alto high school team. "Football Is safe," said the medico who has been the Stan ford team physician since 1927. "I would a lot rather have my son scrimmaging in his spare time after school than running around on the highways in some kid's rattletrap. Besides he comes home tired at night and goes to bed."

The Palo Alto physician, who calls his work at Stanford a hobby, contends "there Is no such thing as an 'athletic heart'." While a man plays foot ball hi3 heart does become en larged walls thicken with mus cle and the organ pumps more blood. But the heart reverts to normal without injury when football days are over." As a rule, Stanford football players are healthier than the average student, the doctor contends. Treasurer Drops Dead. Astoria, Ore., Nov. 22. (IP) Newell E.
