PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Pelican Gridiron Prospects Don't Glitter As Usual Like Medford and Grant Pass, whose prep gridiron pros pects for 1B40 nave Deen more or less analyzed in this column as of recent dates, the situation facing Arthur (Snowy) Gustaf son at big Klamath Union high school is not one to bring on thoughts of November claims to the mythical Oregon state cnanv oionship. Guitafson. the ex-Oregon State colleger, is in somewhat the same canoe carrying Bin Dniwnnin of the Black Tor- nado and Loren Tuttle of the Cavemen. A whole flock of reg ulars from Snowy's 1939 un beaten but tied-plenty Pelicans are looking the world in the eye armed with nothing more than high school diplomas, and Gustafson apparently must do some heroic stuff If the red and white Klamathites are to equal last season's capable crew. Eight 1939 lettermen are back for more action at ' Klamath Tails, but not all of them were regulars last season. Gustafson lost plenty of stars at the spring commencement exercises, and on paper, anyway, this year's Pelican eleven is due for a de cline. It may be sharp fall and it may not, depending on what success Snowy has in mhinnins together a club com posed of rather Inexperienced lads with a fair sprinkling of stripemen. Snowy, himself, terms his material a "complete mystery." Three better-lhen-felr end make Qustafson'a building Job a soft touch at those positions. Leading the trio of returning veteran ilankmen is Harold Weber, all-conference. Eugene Love, who also played seme quarterback last year, and Marion Reginato are the two other ends who are blessed with considerable working knowledge of the autumn madness. Only two lettermen are re turning for duty In the middle of the forward wall Don Rose, guard and BUI Edmundson, tackle. That leaves three vital positions to be filled by boys up from last year's Wildcat squad, or from the varsity re serves. In the backfield, Gustafson will construct around Bill Chrls tianson, left half; Don Shortd gen, right half and Bob Miller, quarterback. Love, in case he Is needed more behind than on the line, may be taken off end and shoved back there with the ball toters. Two transfers, fel lows by the name of Patterson and Howell, are being counted on. Patterson is supposed to have made all-state end in Mon tant for two years, and Howell is said to be a promising half back from Washington state. Glancing at the above, it wouldn't seem to appear that Klamath Falls can figure on a terrific won and lost record this fall. Not with the schedule Gus tafson has lined up for his charges. It Is a toughle. all right, with nine ball games and the first one coming next Fri day night against Chico. Cal.. high at Klamath. Last year Chico unleashed a last-period aerial flurry to hand the Pel icans their first of four tie games. Two more mean battles come In rapid succession be fore the Pelicans get an open dale on October 4. On Sep tember 20. Commerce high of Portland travels to Klamath Falls, and en the following Friday night, September 27, the Eugene high Axemen col lide wilh the Klamathites on Modoc field.

For, despite the rather gloomy paper prospects of the Pelican aggregation, that Is cer tainly a man-sized schedule And. we ask you, would Mr. Gustafson go out and produce a slate like that If he didn't foresee something better than a mediocre machine? Not if we know Snowy, he wouldn't. Ashland next. pals, which will clean iid this preseason series concerning the quartet of Southern Oregon loop football rreatinns. They'll be on their own, then.

By BUI White Ww York. Seot. 10. (IP) Rnhhv Ritoa was greater In de feat today than he ever was in victory. The little fellow had Just seen his most prired possession, the national singles ienni cnam plonship trophy, handed to Don McNeill of Oklahoma City. All afternoon the gallery of 7,500 at Forest Hills had ap plauded wildly when Don came off with a fine shot and only mildly when Bobby did. Ho hadn't been a DODular champion and he knew It. So when the presentation cere mony was over, ana iron was nriarl with back'SlaDDing pats, Bobby walked through the gathering dusk away worn me crowded pres marquee, across tha rnnrt nn which he had been beaten, to a dressing room under the stands and for tne nrsi time he was the popular kid he should be. Crowd Applauds Tha rrnwH cave him a sincere burst of prolonged applause, nartlv heeauae he had been beaten but more because they knew that In the past year ot Ma raian ha hadn't been treated as a champion should. And heart-sick as he was, he walked off in that Charley Chaplin man ner of his with a big grin on his face. McNeill should be a popular champion, for the forcing, dash ing style of game he played to day in knocking Bobby off his throne, by scores of 4-0, 0-8, 6-3, 6.3, 7-3, is bound to be more popular than Riggs' purely de fensive style. 'DARK HORSEMtADS EARLY QUALIFIERS; BUD WARD FIRES PAR Mamaroneck, N. Y.. Sept. 10. 0P Dick Chapmon of the home club lopped three strokes off the Wing Foot Oolf club par with a brilliant 69 today, to take the lead in the 36-hole qualifying test of the national amateur golf championship with a total of 140. By Qayle Talbot. Mamaroneck. N. Y., Sept- 10 P) They said this was one amateur championship no "dark horse" would stick his nose in to, because Winged Foot was too long and exacting a course for any except the real star shoot ers. Yet Maurice McCarthy, Jr., of Cincinnati was at the head of the procession when play re sumed in the second qualifying round today. McCarthy's 70 In yesterday's opening round caused a good deal of surprise, for nobody had given much thought to him. Maurice was a power a decade ago, but he made his last real bid in 1931, when he reached the semi-finals. Right on McCarthy's heels, with 71's were Dick Chapman of Winged Foot, John Cree of Buffalo, and Tom Whlteway of Cleveland. They were the only others to take any liberties with Winged Foot s par of 72. Most scores ran so high, in fact, that it looked like a brace of 77 s would gain admission tonight to the select group of 64 who will qualify for man-to-man combat. Seven equalled par in their first tour of the course, includ ing Marvin iBudi Ward of Spo kane, the defending champion, and a S to 1 favorite to repeat Scolty Campbell, Seattle, shot a 75.

They folded their tent yester day and abandoned the lead to Detroit by dropping a 2-1 de cision to the Chicago White Sox. While all the other clubs in the circuit were idle, the In dians undertook to gain an edge over their rivals by playing their "cousins," from whom they had won 16 out of 21 pre vious games. But Lefty Thorn ton Lee smothered them with four-hit pitching. This was the seventh setback in eight games and forced the Indians out of first place for the first time since August 11, leaving the clubs lined up like this: Team: To Won Lout Pet.

Then Thursday the world champions were down to start a three-game series in Detroit while Boston's still ambitious Sox open a smiliar series against the tribe. The Indians planned to lead with their ace, Bobby Feller, in an effort to stop .the surge of the Yanks, who had won 17 of their last 21 games. If he could not then Cleveland's chances were at the vanishing point. There was a single game in the National league too, the New York Giants battering the Brooklyn Dodgers 7-4.

Cal., high here Friday night, September 20. "The squad as a whole Is far from beefy," Bowerman said, 'although they aren't feather weights. Just rather light, I would say." i Not a great deal of business was done yesterday, the boys working on their blocking and tackling and passing and punt ing. They'll follow a similar pattern for the remainder of the week, the head coach stated. About 10 new Tiger aspirants turned out to augment the squad which returned Saturday from a week's training session at Lake of the Woods. Bower man said several of the new comers showed promise of de veloping into good players. DOCTOR WINS OREGON SENIOR GOLF TITLE Portland, Sept. 10. .T Dr. C. H.

' ev - .'A'X'ti Timber Products Company Niasoee V' FNO "OHTH NA7ARIAN TOSSES ERNIE PILUSO FOR SIX WINS IN ROW Promoter Mack Lillard was today anxiously scanning the grappling horizon for an oppon ent to toss in there against big Mike Nazarian next Monday night, and he wasn't overly con fident of being able to obtain anybody capable of making the mean Armenian work up a good sweat. As a result of last night's brawling main event, in which Nazarian hammered Ernie Pi- luso into submission in two straight falls for his sixth con secutive local victory and his second in a row over Piluso, Lillard found himself somewhat in the same situation at that facing Mike Jacobs, the New York fight promoter. Both im pressarios seem to have run out of opponents for their ace work men. Like one Joe Louis, Na zarian apparently Is too good for his field. Nazarian did that thing to Piluso in a match that lasted only a little over 12 minutes. He made Ernie give up for the first fall by whipping on a ter rific Japanese leg-strap after pulverizing Piluso with foul punches and other illegal ma neuvers. Then, three minutes later, he pinned Piluso for the second faU and the match. The climax was spectacular. Piluso launch ed a sonnenberg off the ropes, but Nazarian was ready for him. The Armenian flipped Ernie over and fell on him, and Ref eree Earl Yoakley tolled oft the three count with much haste, the fans seemed to think- Yoak ley had hardly said "three" be fore Piluso squirmed oft the canvas and applied a Boston crab to Nazarian. But it was too late; Yoakley already had given the match to Nazarian and although Piluso raged and the fans roared, it stood that Whitey Wahlberg. the Minne sota newcomer, made his debut in fine fashion. He grabbed a gruelling two-fall-to-one victory from Jack Hagen in the middle event, in a match that sparkled with clean and scientific wrestl ing. Wahlberg got the first fall in the second round with a trio of neck-snappers, but Hagen evened the count in the third with a powerful headlock that forced Whitey to holler "when." Wahlberg used a shoulder stand to clinch the bout In the fourth canto. Steve Nenoff, alias Tiger Tas koff, dropped the opener to George Wagner on a foul In the third round, after Wagner won the first fall in the second stanza with a mighty dropkick to the Nenoff chin, followed by a body press. In the third round Nen off, a mean character, failed to heed the referee's warning to cease his illegitimate tactics, and the match was given to Wagner. Promoter Lillard said today he would do his best to sign a worthy toe for Nazarian next week. RAIN CANCELS BEAVER SALEM BASEBALL GAME Portland.

Picnickers who don't believe that dust belongs to a picnic will., welcome., the., sprinkling system to be completed next month at the McKee Bridge park, already one of the most popular forest service parks In the country. Water la being obtained on a section of the Albert Young property adjacent to the park known as the "China Diggings," and a crew of 12 CCC men from Star Spike camp under the di rection of D. C. Mills, is work ing on the project. Although the excavation is under way primarily as a test of the water supply, the opinion was expressed by Forest Ranger L. C. Port that an abundance of water will be available. Between 8 and 16 gallons a minute al ready Is supplied from one small hole, the ranger said. The water hole will be dug five or six feet deep, and a one-inch pipe will tap the 12-foot box lining the spring. Eight hundred eighty-one feet of pipe will carry the water to the grounds, and with three or four branch pipes, it Is esti mated that a total of 1,500 feet will be used. A Bagley bucket, operated with a Caterpillar, is used for the digging operations. Owing to general tramping over the grounds by users, the ranger said that a lawn will not be sown, but the park will be kept damp, additional shrubs will be planted, and flush toilets will be installed- It is expected that the work will be completed by the last of October.
