Billy Hnlen says:
Tigers To Lose
Eight Regular
Via Graduation
Old Man Graduation will
take a terrific swat at Mud
ford's fine 1939 football squad,
and If Bill Bowerman, Ed Kirt
ley and Russ Acheson can come
up with another mythical state
championship outfit next season
they will deserve a very large
basketful of plaudits.
The awarding of diplomas
next spring will send no less
than eight regulars of this year's
aggregation into the cold, cruel
world. The forward wall will
be shattered completely between
the ends, with tackles Bill Clute
and Al Barrow, guards Alden
Hibbert and Dale Howard and
center Harry Thurman bidding
adieu to old Mcdford high. The
wreckage in the backfleld will
be even more terrible, with full
back John Saulsberry and half
backs Bob Newland and Billy
Piche receiving sheepskins to
frame.
All that will remain of this
season's first string, when the
boys are called together for
spring practice, will be Stan
Winter and Don Moyer, the Jun
ior ends, and Louie Thurman,
blocking quarterback. However,
quite a few reserves, who re
ceived valuable experience this
campaign, are due to return for
more action and the situation
may not be quite so disastrous
as it appears at first glance.
It has been a glamorous foot
ball season; from the view point
of the spectators one of the most
exciting In many years. It has
had everything; every thrill in
the book has been produced by
either the Tigers or their op
ponents. It has been especially
satisfying because victory has
been Medford's in all but one
game, but regardless of that it
would still have been a grand
autumn.
Probably the most wildly dra
matic struggle was that against
Eureka, when the Tigers blasted
over two touchdowns in the last
two minutes of play to break
12 to 12 tie and win, 24 to
12. This game had the customers
biting their fingernails from be
ginning to end as first one club
then the other struck for pay
dirt.
The most savagely-fought en
counter was against Eugene
high's Axemen In Eugene, which
the Tigers won, 20 to 6. It almost
made your blood run cold to
watch those two clubs attempt
to annihlliate each other with
vicious tackling and blocking.
Ona of the beat Individual
performances turned In by a
Madford player was Bob New
land's amaiing puntkig exhi
bition In the Klamath r'alls
game. In nine boots the left
halfback averaged 42.5 yards,
an average any college klckor
In the land would be proud
to own. Incidentally, during
the entire seaaon, Newland
hung up an average of 39.3
yards on his punts, of which
there were 32 for a total of
1,265 yards.
This upset-picking of I. Pick
em's is getting almost too good
to be true. About one more cor
rect call of a form-reversal and
the prognosticator will pass out
with amazement.
The latest superb pick of
Plckem's was Michigan's upset
of mighty Ohio State. It was
his number two reversal, stuck
In the weekly dozen in case
Notre Dome failed to whip U.
S. C, his major upset. It turned
out to be a good thought, for
El Trojan refused to be over
turned by the Irish.
All told, Pickem hit seven
games over the Thanksgiving
week-end, missed three and
two ended In ties. Correct calls
were Medford over Coquille,
Milwaukie over Salem, Grants
Pass over Ashland, California
over Stanford, Minnesota over
Wisconsin, Princeton over Navy
and Michigan over Ohio State.
He missed when Southern Cat
beat Notre Duine, Yale upset
Harvard and Washington beat
Oregon. Tics were Iowa-North-western
and Oregon State
UCLA. The average went up five
points to this:
Won Lost Tied Pet.

Paul Bozell Grapples Ernie Piluso in Main Event
MATCH IS RATED
TOSSUP; BOZELL' !
HAS CLEAN SLATE
Clayton Wrestles Kenaston
In Middle Event Parks
And Ed Rogers in Opener.
Paul Bozell, the Boston crab
master and Ernie Piluso, the
current light-heavyweight cham
pion of the Pacific coast, head
line tonight's all-star wrestling
program in the Medford armory,
and local fans are expecting one
of the most evenly contested
struggles of the past several
months when the two fine grap
plers come together.
, King Kong Clayton, Negro
flash and Sgt. Bob Kenaston of
Gold Hill meet in the six-round
middle event. Opening the card
will be Herb. Parks of Vancou
ver, B. C, and Eddie Rogers of
Michigan, a couple of clean,
scientific workmen.
Bozell Undefeated
Bozell, in his two matches
since returning to Medford after
a long absence, has remained
undefeated, while Piluso, In
three local starts, has lost one
squabble to Hans Schulz, the
big German. The pair are con
sidered the finest wrestlers now
displaying their stuff in south,
ern Oregon.
Tonight will mark Piluso's
first chance to go in a main
event, and he plans to make
the most of It. Although the
Portland flash will be out
weighed by about 13 pounds by
Bozell, he believes he can over
come this disadvantage by su
perior speed and a more versa
tile attack. Ernie has no favor
ite maneuver, unless it be a
potent dropkick, but relies prin
cipally on his vast knowledge
of all the scientific and legiti
mate tricks.
On the other hand Bozell,
while admittedly slower than
his opponent, boasts a more po
tent pinning hold in his Boston
crab, one of the best in the in
dustry. The erstwhile Black
Dragon also Is inclined to turn
slightly rough, a development
which makes his crab hold all
the more effective ih that he
clamps it on after his opponents
are befuddled from the off-color
tactics.
Clayton Ambitious
Expected to turn into almost
as good a match as the main
event will be the Kenaston-Clay-ton
center encounter. The form
er, with his Gold Hill crab and
swivel, figures to extend the
flashy Negro to the utmost, but
with prospects of a main event
bout in case he wins Clayton
will go all out in an attempt
to make Kenaston holler when.
BEAVERS OUT AS
L
Los Angeles, Nov. 27. JP)
Oregon State college faded as
Rose Bowl possibility Satur
day when the powerful Beavers
were held to a 13-13 tie by
UCLA.
The tlo ended the Orange
season save for a trip to the
Hawaiian islands during the
Christmas-New Year's holidays
for two games.
UCLA scored In the second
period on a 12-yard poss from
Washington to Mathews. Som
mers converted. The Beavers
came baek In the same period,
pounding 64 yards to a tally,
and Younce converted.
Oregon State took its lead in
the second half and threatened
to swamp the Uclans but after
driving 49 yards for a second
touchdown and failing to make
the extra point the Orangemen
lost their steam. A fumble In
side the 10 yard line cost the
Beavers a second score and In
the last two minutes the UCLA
team put on a final drive of 79
yards for the tying score.
GONZAGA DEFEATS
. 7 TO 0
Portland, Ore., Nov. 27. W)
Gonzaga, reverting to ground
power when rain and a swampy
field made passing and decep
tion dangerous, punched over
one touchdown on Portland U
yesterday and won, 7 0.
Cecil and Ray Ilorc and Tony
Cenadco alternated at hammer
ing away at tackles. Even so
Goiuaga was aided by a break
when they scored their sole
touchdown early in the second
p od. A bad pass from center
cost Portland the hall on the
Pilot 39-yard line. From there
Gonnsa scored in seven plnys,
one of which was a 13 yard run
by C. Hare.

COACHES SELECT
IG 10 ALL-STAR
I AGGREGATIO
Chicago, Nov. 27. (if) Com
bining a line packed with veter
ans with a backfield notable for
its natural talent, the 1939 west
ern conference all-star football
team was selected for the Asso
ciated Press today by Big Ten
coaches.
To only one star went the
honor of being a unanimous
choice Nile Kinnick, the bril
liant Iowa all-around back. But
close behind was Don Scott,
husky quarterback on Ohio
State's title eleven.
Paired with Kinnick at the
other halfback position was
Michigan's brilliant Tom Har
mon, while the fullback post
was given Wisconsin's star bat
tering ram, George Paskvan.
Every position in the line was
awarded seniors. The end posi
tions went to Esco Sarkkinen,
the great Ohio Stote flanker,
and Erwin Prasse of Iowa.
Coaches were extremely well
agreed on the talent of big Win
Pcdersen, Minnesota tackle.
Paired with him was Illinois'
James Rcedcr, a fine tackle even
though his team had a rough
year.
Hal Method, Northwestern,
and Vic Marino of Ohio State
won the guard positions after
a hot race.
John Human of Northwestern,
center on the 1938 second team,
was moved up to the first team
this seoson by the mentors as a
reward for his consistently fine
play.
INITIAL CASABA

two regulars from last season's
runners-up for the state cham
pionship, will report to ' Coach

L TITLE
Importance of MilwaCikie
Jeff Game Dimmed By
Tiger's Win Over Coquille.
By Fred Hampson
(Associated Press Writer)
Medford's long shadow will
lie across Multnomah stadium
field at Portland Friday when
Jefferson and MUwetukie, both
unbeaten, play for what some
folks consider the Oregon high
school football championship.
Medford advanced its claim
to the Oregon throne more sub
stantially last week than did
either the Portland or No-Name
league champions. While Jeff
polished off nothing more ser
ious than Washington high in
the last Portland interscholastic
encounter and while Milwaukie
walloped the m u c h-walloped
Salem Vikings, Medford dyna
mited the last unbeaten, untied
recorcTIn',the""statIhe Pear
Pickers shoved over a touch
down on Coquille to win, 6-0.
Medford already has issued a
challenge to the winner of the
Milwaukie-Jefferson game for a
contest that would be certain
to be acclaimed a state title af
fair. The Jeffs and Maroons
were too busy getting ready for
each other to worry about any
later post-season business.
La Grande Waives Claim .
The only other major team In
Oregon that survived the season
without- a loss in state play, La
Grande, has more or less waived
its claim by passing up a prof
ered post season game with Pen
dleton for the Blue Mountain
league title. La Grands also re
jected a game with Medford.
The Tigers have disbanded.
All league championships that
hadn't previously been decided
were claimed last week. Eu
gene, by turning in an 18-7 vic
tory over Albany, tied Milwau
kie for the No-Name pennant.
Milwaukie finished its league
slate thumping Salem, 33-0.
Thursday, Thanksgiving No.
2, and Saturday will be mop-up
days. Albany meets McMinn- ;
ville, Corvallis plays Salem and i
Oregon City meets Tillamook in i
three No-Name games that have
no title bearing, and Chemawa
meets West Linn to finish the
Willamette league schedule.
Grant Plays Eugene j
A game between Silverton, I
once-beaten Willamette league
champion, and once-beaten Bea
verton, Tualatin-Yamhill leader,
will be held Friday.- Woodburn
will take a crack at the Colum
bia leader, Rainier, November
30 at Rainier. Scappoose takes
on Newberg and Grant of Port
land plays Eugene. i
New York, Nov. 27. (P)
Lloyd Madden of the Colorado
School of Mines, a Rocky Moun
tain conference champion, is
still college football's most po
tent offensive threat.
Although he didn't play last
week, his 117 points continued
to top all touchdown makers'
efforts by the same margin of a
week ago three points over
Don Lieberum of Manchester,
who also has scored 19 touch
downs but who hasn't matched
Maddcn's three conversions.
Lieberum, too, was Idle.
Tommy Harmon, the Michi
gan magician, was the busiest
of the top men this week. He
scored once against Ohio State
and booted three extra-point
placements to increase his year's
stint to 102 for top ranking in

FULL CREW RAIL
LAW KNOCKED OUT
Philadelphia, Nov. 27. (IP)
Pennsylvania's "full crew" rail
road law was declared unr-nn.
stitutional by the state supreme
court today.
The high court's decision af
firmed a ruling of a county
court, which found the meas
ure, pushed through the legisla
ture during the Democratic
Earle administration, violated
both the state and United States
constitutions.
The law demanded extra
brakemen on long trains.
The lower court decision sus
tained the contention of the
Pennsylvania railroad and 49
other carriers in the state that
the law would not promote
safety.

BY BAKER POLICE
Baker, Nov. 27. (AP) State
police officers are in search of
a drunken hit-hiker, who shout
ed "My name is Jack Davis and
I'm heading for Haines."
The man Is alleged to have

tance frvm Baker the car he

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
PLANS TO SLASH
L
By Douglas B. Cornell.
Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 27.
(fP) Budget Director Harold D.
Smith, upon his arrival here
today for a conference with
President R o o s e velt, asserted
again today efforts were being
mad eto whittle down substan
tially the government's expen
ditures for non-military activi
ties. But, he added, it Is a whale
of a job."
Smith carried a brief case
containing the budgets for the
treasury and justice depart
ments and the Panama Canal.
He said a presidential decision
was necessary on the house ap
propriations subcommittee
which handles the treasury sup
ply bill.
An army bomber brought tne
budget director from Washing
ton and he said he expected
to fly back to the capital late
today, after his talk with the
President.
What the net result of the
talk would be he was uncer
tain, but the administration
must add $500,000,000 to ex
penditures for defense and
prune down other portions of
the budget wherever It Is feas
ible. That the government will run
"into the red" again appears
certain. But Mr. Roosevelt has
said there was a possibility, as
compared with this year, of cut
ting the deficit In half.
To accomplish that result, he
said, would require a new tax
to finance the higher cost of
defense. It would require, also,
he asserted, a continuation' of
the present Increase in federal
tax receipts, budget reductions
in non-defense items, and con
gressional adherence to what
ever budget is submitted.
The budget will cover the
year beginning next July 1. It
will estimate for congress how
much the administration be
lieves the government u s t
spend during the year and how
much money will tinkle into
the treasury's tills to foot the
bills.
LAY BARN BLAZE
Waterville, Nov. 27. (AP)
Two 13 -year-olds who went in
to a neighbor's barn Instead of
behind it to experiment with
tobacco, were a chestened pair
today and their parents were
somewhat poorer.
They got sick and wobbled
home, leaving lighted cigar
ettes which fired and destroyed
the barn. The parents agreed
to pay for the barn and its con
tents and officials agreed to file
no charges against the youths.
Estranged Mate Kills,
Pounds, Four People
Philadelphia, Nov. 27. UP)
A young man crept Into the
home of his estranged wife early
today, shot to death two women
of her family, wounded his wife
and her father, then took his
own life.
. Detective Peter McCormick
said Stanley Krygier, 38, sent
bulletes into the hearts of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Josephine
Nieckoskii, 45, and her 17-year-old
daughter Florence, as they
ran for a stairway to escape.
Auto mishaps account for only

This Is How We Financed
Our Christmas Shopping...
Lest than a week ago Bob and I were having a sad
case of doldrums! Reason? No ready cash with which
to buy Christmas gifts, and we just couldn'i let our
selves get in debt. Then Bob thought of th .Hiified
Ads and without telling me, he placed an ad mention
ing the things like Mary's baby carriage and Brother's
three wheel bicycle, our old gas heater and Bob's old
golf clubs which we had no more use for. Sure
enoug! Bob sold everything and handed me the cash
with which to Christmas-shop for the family. We're
happy. And the folks who bought those former posses
sions of ours at low cost will have a merrier Christmas
too.
