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 ... In a return en
gnfement, Dallas walloped the
Vikings which, Incidentally, Is
the only game Salem has lost
thus far . . .
Billy Schemer writes that
Hosoburg wants in the South
ern Oregon Bnsoball league
this lummor, taking the place
ol Glendnle, which won't
have a club, according to the
writor . , . did you ever won
der what happened to Fidel
LaBarba, former flyweight
boxing champion, who quit
the ring In 1931 to enter Stan
word university? . . . well,
he's writing screen stuff for
20th' Century-Fox. and has
been for the past three years.
Al Hostnk will stop Cefcrlno
Carcia if and when they collide,
says Henry Armstrong . . . don't
whisper a word of it, but the
fellow mentioned most frequent
ly In Kucone as the successor
to Col. Bill Hayward, Oregon's
aging and not-sowell trark
coach, is none other than Wil
Horn J. Bowerman.
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.

CLASS B QUINTS
PLAY TIGHT IN
L
Undisputed leadership of di
vision 2 of the Jackson county
class B high school basketball
loop will be at stake tonight
when Central Point travels to
Rogue River. 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.
In division 1, Eagle Point
comes to Medford to face the
St. Mary's Crusaders, undefeat
ed Butte Falls jaunts to meet
second-place Prospect at Pros
pect and winless Talent tangles
with Jacksonville at the latter
town.
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.

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.

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

He also said no change of
army policy was to be partici
pated in consequence of the
change.

Turkey,

ed in Paris January 8, including
a 25,000,000 pound (JIOD.OOO.

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

conclusion of the war."
Chamberlain said that in war
time it is essential that the ma

War Reviewed

Finland has been authorized

public interest to give particu

'substantial."

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.
