PAOE TWO DROPKICK FAILS AND PETE LOSES TO El A guy like Pete Belcastro shouldn't fool around with inch dangerous maneuver as a drop kick, especially against grapple opponents of Ernie Tiluso's cali lier. Those double leg socks are highly potent when they con nect, but when they fall to find their mark the result is liable to be disastrous for the gent on the firing end. That's Just waht happened in last night's armory main event. With the falls standing one apiece and both gladiators brawling madly in an attempt to get the clincher, Belcastro let go with a terrific dropkick. It was the payoff, all riRht. but not for Pete. For Piluso, as clever as they come, nimbly dodged away and the Weed Ital ian crashed flat on his back near the ropes. Ernie lust drop ped on the stunned Belcastro and pressed his shoulders to the mat for the match. The final fall took four minutes. The two boys went 13 min utes before Belcastro grabbed the first tumble with a leg-strap and a body press. Pete used the ropes to pood advantage on this fall, hooking Plluso's foot under the lower strand to In crease the leverage. Two minutes later Piluso tied the score, whaling away with ' several sonnenbergs that stretch ed Belcastro like a carpet. When Pete was ripe Ernie pinned him with a press. As in all Belcastro bouts, the thing was fast and furious and rough. Piluso grappled clean for awhile, but finally was forc ed to resort to off-color stuff to hold his own. From then on It was a madhouse. Mike Nazarlan registered his third straight victory in the mid dle event by outslugeing and out-roughing Sgt. Bob Kenaston .in a brutal brawl. The big Armenian used a wrlstlock and press to get the first fall in the second round, with Kenastm equalizing the match, in the third heat with a somersaulting headlock and a body press. They both threw caution out the window In the fourth canto and slugsed it out, with Nnza rian finally clamping on a ham merlock that forced Kenaston to the canvas and Into defeat. Clean Jack Uagen of Shrcve port. La., made an unsuccessful debut In the opener, losing a scientific duel to Otis Clingman, a last-minute substitution for Jimmy Goodrich, who was un- able to get here in time for the match. Clingman body-pressed Hagen i for a fall in the first round, but the newcomer evened it up in me second with a fine head- lock and a body press. Cling man employed a shoulder stand In the third to win the match.

The southpaw halfback, who airplaned to New York City this week to join the New York Giants, has a glittering Medford high school tnd University of Oregon grid career behind him, and people who know say he has everything that goes to make up a professional star. Probably Bob's most valuable asset, so far as the play-for pay game is concerned, is his for ward passing ability. In pro ranks they toss that leather around like it is a live bomb, and when it comes to partici pating on the pitching end of aerials Bob has few equals. Th Smith to Graybenl pass in combination at Oregon was 'something to behold, and on reason it was so affective was the fact that Smith tossed with his left tlippsr. Ha was un cannily accurate at short, me dium and long range, and with those great professional receivers he should cause much consternation in the ranks of opposing secondary's. Besides being a highly cap able air artist, Smith is a pretty fair power runner, a very fine blocker and a good defensive workman. He is fast and smart, and should fit nicely into the pro system, with its tremendous amount of forward passing and ground deception. Whether he will follow In the steps of BI'.I Morgan and Bcrnie Hughes, former Medford high linemen who tore up pro loot- ball for a number of seasons, remains to be seen. Every In dicatlon points to his success, and he'll have several thousand southern Oregon grid addicts pulling heart and soul for him. At long last authentic Infor mation has arrived here con cerning Ted Kerr, that dandy catcher-outfielder the Medford Craters picked up from the Sa le mSenators early in the sea son and who later signed a con tract with Ogden, Utah, of the class C Pioneer league . . . Ted, according to word received from Charles E. Chapman, head of the Cincinnati Reds' organiza tion on the coast, has been farm ed out to a loop of lower classi fication, but Chapman was un able to say to what circuit Kerr was sent , . . "Kerr got into parts of a few games before ha left Og den." Chapman wrote. "He was at bat six times, with one hit, but that hit was a horns run," ... Cy.spman didn't say, but our supposition is thai Kerr was lowered to a class D league . . . tha boy is still under 20 years of age. and from what he showed here he would seem to be a fine prospect . . Here is the longest-range foot ball forecast made to date: Dock Walker, writing in the Minne apolis Times-Tribune, predicts lh. in ! nn.a f , V. n It'a.hUnlnn cn,,thrn fnltfnrnin rnnin tvill meet the Texas Aggies in the Rose Bowl . . . Mr. I. Pickem selects the Green Bay Packers i to overturn the collich all-tars I in the Chicago charity show later in the mouth . . . No personal disparagement is I meant to those Big Lakes ball players, who piobably are a nice bunch of kids, but i( the powers' that be bring another such club to Medford for a two-game series, baseball here will be kill- i ed for the remainder of the sea son. 100 CUBIC FOOT LOAD 2123 TRTBUNT.
