Sport Graph; Billy Hulen aayi: Bearcat Griddert May Play Marine Here Next Season Hold your breath, everybody! Little old Medford may pro vide the setting lor a bonafide, A number 1 collegiate football clash next autumn. This gridiron struggle, In case it is staged here, will be be tween Spec Keene's Willamette university Bearcats and the San Diego Marines, perennial power house of southern California pigskin circles. The projected game, of course, is still only in the form ative stage. As a matter of fact, it is right now merely an idea in the head of Willamette's Mr. Kecne. But, there are certain promising aspects of the sllun tion that augers well for Mcd ford's chances of landing the fracas. The news that Medford had a chance for the game was con talncd in a letter received by Harry Hinman from his son Bob, regular end on the Wil lamette eleven last season and due for another sparkling cam paign this year. , Bob, an ex-Mcdford player, wrote that Willamette and 'he Marines are definitely slated to tangle next season and that Keene would rather like to bring the game to Medford if financial details could be ar ranged to the satisfaction of all concerned. Willamette lost to the Marines in San Diego last season and the 1840 clash is a return engagement. The Willamette coach. Bob wrote his pappy, considers Medford the best football town in the state, and feels that the proposed game here would draw a crowd large enough to "make" the guar antes to the two teams. Some thing in the neighborhood of $1,500 is understood to be the sum, said chunk of dough to take care of both elevens. If such a game should be played here, it would be the first genuine college grid strug gle ever to be held In Medford. Of course, the Ashland norma) school has made several appear ances on the local field, but those game were more on the junior college calibre and not strictly collegiate. A letter has been dispatched to Keene requesting all Infor mation concerning the possiblll ties of the tilt being brought here, and an answer is expected shortly. "Till then, palsies, keep your fingers crossed and do some high-powered hoping that things work out. The Dallas Dragons appear to be the most powerful prep bas ketball team in the Willamette valley, maybe in the entire northern end of the state ... in their last start they knocked over Chemnwa, 41 to 23, and any quintet that con beat those Indians by such a score must have something . . . Dallas has lost only one game this season, to Snlem, which plays Medford In a two-game scries here next week-end ...

UKIST HE KONG; JOE LOSES AS USUAL Prince Silaki Mehalikls, mu sician, author, high diver, ama teur military expert and about anything else you can name off hand, proved that he is also quite a wrestler by grabbing a neat two-out-of-three fall victory from King Kong Clayton, the colored flash, in the main event of last night's Mack Lillard grapple shindig in the Medford armory. It was a fine match, as clean and sparkling as they come, and it found Mehalikis, noted for his scientific ability, at the top of his form. The Prince had his capable hands full with Clayton, another lad with an extensive reputation for bril liant tactics, and it was only after the hardest kind of a bat tle that he was able to come up with the third and deciding tumble. The finisher came after 10 minutes of breathless action, with the falls standing one each. Clayton, sensing a victory, was employing his potent chin lift and appeared to have the prince in a bad way. The latter sailed to the canvas three times, but somehow he managed to find strength to fire a sonnenberg that flattened the Negro, after which he leaped on Clayton and applied his famous cumel lock. Clayton gave up for the match. The prince, after 12 minutes of exchanging practically every known hold in the book with his opponent, slapped on a leg strap that forced Clayton to holler when. This was the first tumble. Four minutes later the Blrm Ingham colored boy evened the match. He broke loose from a prince hammcrlock and began using his chin lift. He grabbed Mehalikis by the jaw and hoist ed him skyward, the prince flopping to the mat squarely on his back. After three of these potent maneuvers Clayton was able to land on the prince and pin his shoulders with a body press. Bob Montgomery got tough with Cowboy Dude Chick in the middle event and the usual thing happened Mr. Montgom ery got a large dose of the lar iat spin and the match was all over. After winning the first fall In the second round with pain ful hammcrlocks, Montgomery started slugging and cutting up and Chick, biding his time, fin ally got his chance and swung the Georgia bully to his shoul ders in the fourth round. Chick revolved 16 times, slammed Montgomery to the carpet and pinned him with a press. Mont gomery was unable to continue, although he drunkenly stagger ed around and gesticulated for Chick to "come on." Good old Joe Smollnski ran his string of consecutive defeats to 12 in the opening event, this time losing in a slightly differ ent manner than usual. He foul ed out to Zim Zimovlch, the end coming in the fourth heat when Joseph refused to refrain from choking the daylights out of the popular Finn. A hammerlock gave Smolln ski the first fall in the second round, but Zimovich tied the score in the third canto with a body press following sonnen bergs. In the fourth Joe simply grubbed Zim by the throat and squeezed. After about five min utes of this, with KelVree Earl Youkley pulling Joe off his gag ging opponent, the ref awarded the match to Zimovich.

The clubs are tied at the top of the heap with three victories and no defeats. Other division 2 struggles will find second-place Gold Hill moving to Phoenix and Sams Valley playing at Kerby for un disputed possession of the cellar spot. Neither quintet has won a game.

All games start following 7:30 preliminaries. statement, "Naturally I plan to start the season with the same lineup I' had last year" will bring joy to a lot of Yankee hearts and to Ellsworth (Babe) Dahlgren's in particular. Joe made that remark yesterday while here to check over the Yanks' rookie list with presi dent Edward Barrow. Di Maggio, Selkirk, Keller, Gordon, Rolfe, Dickey, Ruffing all appeared certain to start again where they left off last fall. The lone figure of first baseman Dahlgren seemed to be the exception. Babe, who took over base ball's toughest Job when he re placed Lou Gehrig that fateful day last May, frankly hadn't measured up to the rest of the Yankees at bat. Afield, he Is perfection and has made the Yank infield again a coordin ated unit almost without a de fensive weakness. But McCarthy's statement, plus the knowledge that Babe is seriously trying to Improve his hitting by taking lessons from wise old Lefty O'Doul, means that the cavalcade of players who suddenly decided to become the Yanks' first base man can now go back to the bull pen or the bench. E INELIGIBILITY HITS 14 GAEL FOOTBALLERS Moraga, Cal., Jan. 16. (f) Football Coach Edward P. "Slip" Madlgan was an unhappy man today. Fourteen St. Mary's football players have been "flunked out" for scholastic de ficiencies, putting a definite question mark on tho Gaels 1940 pigskin prospects. "It's tough that had to hap- pen," Madlgan said. "We ve lost enough players by the regular route of graduation without los ing any more for other reasons." He was quick to deny the Gaels' 22-day post-season tour of the United States and Mexico might have contributed to the poor grades.

THE TAILOR 111 CAST MAIN wi 95 QUART PINT No Policy Conflict Hore-Belisha said there had been "as far as I know, no con flict of policy with any of my colleagues." He declared he turned down Chamberlain's offer to make him president of the board of trade, a post which Hore-Bel-isha's successor Oliver Stanley, formerly occupied. His refusal was made "be cause I could not feel assurance that the consideration which had persuaded the prime min ister to make the change would allow of my energetic dis charge in the national interest of the other office." Chamberlain asserted he had not heard of any serious differ ence of opinion between Hore Belisha and the army council or any member of it, and no serving officer at any time ever said one word to him which, 2. Economic and was inconsistent with his dutv ; agreements among to his ministerial chief. He also said no change of army policy was to be partici pated in consequence of the change. Pressure Denied . Denying he was faced with the alternative of releasing the minister or of receiving the res. ignations of officers holding security, financial Turkey, France and England were sign ed in Paris January 8, including a 25,000,000 pound (JIOD.OOO. 000) loan to Turkey for the pur chase of armaments. 3. The position of Belgium and The Netherlands is "not en viable" and "they are undoubt edly wise to neglect no measure which may contribute to their high office, Chamberlain said 4. The Mediterranean area that story is pure invention has happliy been spared so far from beginning to end. "I did not want to lose Hore Belisha," Chamberlain went o.n, "and therefore I offered him another very important post. . . . I much regretted his decision (not to accept), but I respected it and do not make any com plaint." Echoing the words of Hore Belisha himself, the prime min ister added: "I Judge all matters by one criterion alone whether they will or will not contribute to ward an early and successful conclusion of the war." Chamberlain said that in war time it is essential that the ma chinery of government work with a maximum of efficiency and a minimum of friction. War Reviewed Reviewing the war. Chamber lain made the following points: 1. Export of war materials to Finland has been authorized and although it is not in the public interest to give particu lars, the amounts involved are 'substantial." from suffering and the horror inseparable from war. "I trust," said Chamberlain, "that this will long continue." 5. "While there are as yet no definite indications that might warrant any optimistic forecast of a peaceful settlement in the near future, we have welcomed the recent action by the Japan ese government in the direction of relaxing some of the restric tions (in China) which have from time to time caused dif ficulty and tension in relations with third powers." The armament loan to Turkey was agreed upon late last Octo ber at conferences which paral lelled military staff talks fol lowing signing of the Turkish-British-French accord. Chamberlain told commons Germany apparently is pursu ing "a policy of deliberate de population" in Poland, and it appeared that intellectual lead ers were being singled out. for execution. .a ahd Half A Mixed Load Dry Slabs & Rough Blocks Only $7S Valley Fuel Co.
