TO KLAMATH FOR
WOOD AND WEHRLE GET
67'S TO PACE FIELD
Ti
By Russ Newland
Oakland, Cal., Jan. 12. (TP)
Two players who would be
described in horse racing circles
as "superior muddcrs" set the
pace today as a reduced field
of 12B teed off in the second
round of the $5,000 72-hole Oak
land golf tournament.
Fancy 67's, three under 'par,
executed under such trying cir
cumstances as rain, some wind
and plenty of stnnding water,
put Craig Wood, blonde profes
sional from Mnmaroncck, N. Y.,
nd Wilford Wehrle, amateur
from Racine, Wis., in the fore
front. . Wood had a 85-32, Wehrle
82-35.
The Sequoyah course par is
70. Nineteen of the 214 starters
equalled' or bettered that fig
ure. For a rain-pelted bunch
who like to golf in fair weather,
It was considered a feat worth
talking about long after dark
ness hrl chased home some of
the tail-cnders with unfinished
rounds.

Medford h I g h's basketball
Tigers open their Southern Ore
gon conference cage season
against the Klamath high Pell
cans at Klamath Falls tonight,
and follow It up with a non
conference clash with the same
quintet Saturday evening.
The Tigers, with Coach Russ
Acheson and Student Manager
Jimmy Elliott, left Medford In
automobiles early this afternoon
and will spend tonight In Klam
ath, returning home after the
game Saturday.
Acheson said the locals would
open with Fred Gunnctte and
Walt Krcsse at the forwards,
Bob Newland at center and
Billy Piche and Verne Johnston
at the. guards. Other players
making the trip were Reed and
Glfford, forwards: Holmes, cen
ter; and Fawcctt, Williams and
Crosby, guards.
Crosby, the coach stated,
won't be able to play In the
game tonight as he Is being dis
ciplined from the office for
"skipping" a couple of classes
this week. He will be available
Saturday evening, however.
The games will provide a
basis of comparing the relative
strength of Medford and Ash
land quintets, who are expected
to fight it out for the district
9 championship and statp tourn
ament berth. Ashland defeated
the Pelicans, 20 to 18.
With his first start here In
three years made highly suc
cessful by a slashing victory
over Dude Chick last Monday
evening, Prince Silaki Ali Has
san Mehalikis, one of the game's
better legitimate workmen, tests
his mettle in next Monday's
main event on King Kong Clay
ton, a colored boy from Birm
ingham who is rapidly becom
ing one of the best-liked torso
tuggers of the past few seasons.
Like this week's top struggle,
which was a sparkling exhibir
tion of clean and fancy mat
work by a pair of master wrest
lers, the upcoming feature at
traction on a fine card should
again provide the ultimate in
orthodox, but none-the-less
thrilling grapple action.
It goes without saying that
Clayton knows all the answers
as regards straight business in
side the squared circle; his sev
eral matches here having
proved him a fine, clever wrest
ler. As for' Mehalikis, he has a
national reputation for his
sparkling ability, and he lived
up to it against Chick on the
last Mack Lillard shindig.
While the top bout will most
certainly be on the strict up
and up, the same can't be said
for the middle nor opening tea
parties. Chick meets Bob Mont
gomery in the center face-off,
and the latter is well known
to have villainous tendencies
when the going gets tough, as
it Is bound to do when the cow
boy starts working.
Joe Smolinski, the winlcss
Polish Palooka, swears he is go
ing to beat somebody soon and
remove himself from the role
of trial horse. He goes against
Zlm Zimovich of Finland on
next Monday's card and the lo
cal addicts are unanimous in
their opinion that Joe will still
be looking for a victory after
the match.

At least one thing can be said
in favor of Stanford's hiring of
Clark Shaughnessy as its head
football coach the Palo Alto
institution is gradually working
up the scale.
We make the bold prediction
that inside of five years, per
haps by 1943, the Indians under
Shaughnessy will crash through
to three grid wins in one season.
This may sound like a lot of
optimistic tripe to many close
followers of the Stanford foot
ball fortunes, if they can be
called such, but we offer the fol
lowing data as proof that the
Cardinals' stock is certain to en
joy a sensational rise under their
new mentor;
In 1939, which means the cam
paign Just' past, . Stanford won
one (1) gridiron combat with
Claude (Tiny) Thornhill at the
helm.
During this same season, the
University of Chicago, from
whence Shaughnessy hails, power-housed
its way to two (2) foot
ball conquests, thus enjoying ex
actly twice the gridiron success
that Stanford did.
In conjunction with these en
lightening facts, it might ncre be
emphasized that Chicago's two
victories were scored over such
big-time clubs as Wabash and
Oberlin, whereas Stanford's lone
chance to cheer was after the
Dartmouth game."
I is true that shortly after the
season was completed the Uni
versity of Chicago decided to j
abolish football. The reason for !
this move wasn't, as many per
sons believe, due to the low
standard of Chicago football. In
stead, the Maroons gave up the
game because they had won
more than their share of Big
Ten titles sr.d wanted some of
the other schools to catch up.
Getting back to our original
theme, we forecast a sharp up
swing in Stanford's (mis)-for-tunes
under the inspirationol
leadership of such a successful
grid tutor as Shaughnessy.
Shaughnessy undoubtedly is
what the boys call a "winning
coach." Through his veins runs
the fire of victory. No defeatist
complex plagues him like it does
Buck Shaw, whose Santa Cl-.ra
rnnms hnve ineloriousl v drooped
two games in four years and who I
was available, incidentally lor i
the Stanford coaching Job !
Stanford's new mentor will be
a vast improvement over Tiny
Thornhill, who, during his stay
cn "the farm," managed to place i
only three consecutive elevens in
the Rose Bowl. Last season s
records irrevocably prove that J
Shaughnessy will have It all ,
over Thornhill, for didn't his I
Chicago team thunder to two '
victories as against one accumu
lated by Tiny's men?
We think, without a shadow of
a doubt, a new era is in store
for Stanford; a glorious gridiron
period in which the mighty In
dians will go on the rampage
against such football powers as
Chico State. Nevada, the Cal
Aggies and San Francisco. They
might not win 'em all, but those I
other clubs will know they have I
been in a football game, by j
garsh! I

Comes a warning from Nick
Altrock, who started the whole
thing in the first place, that base

horseplay and "sideshow" enter
tainment with the actual playing
of the game.
Recalling words of the late

told him that his stunts wen
"great stuff, but don't let them
interfere" with the game Itself.
Altrock stated:
"Sideshow promoters would
