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.

Billy Hulen Says;
Smith Can Follow
in Footsteps of
Hughe, Morgan
Along about December 1, it
may be possible to add the
name of Bob Smith to the list
of local gridiron huskies who
have enjoyed more than medi
ocre success In professional foot
ball's "big show" the National
pro league.
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.
