Billy Hulen Says:
Prof. I. Pickem
Due To Open 1941
Season Tomorrow
Flash: Professor I. Pickem,
peerless pigskin prognosticate
has sent word by carrier pigeon
from his summer hideout In an
unnamed area of southwestern
Oregon that he will arrive in
Medford with his crystal ball,
slide rule and other forecasting
equipment in time to make Fri
day's edition of this paper with
the first of his weekly dozen
grid predictions during the 1941
season . . .
Medford's Black Tornado will
depend solely on the "T", Notre
Dame shift and occasional punt
formations this season, forget
ting about that A-formotion Bill
Bowerman tentatively planned
to Install in the attacking pat
tern . . . the coach explained
that A-formation, employed with
great success by the New York
pro Giants, was too complicated
to develop in the short time the
Tigers had to prepare for the
current campaign , . .
We always knew Frank le
Albert of Stanford was quite a
quarterback, but until reading
this week's Satevepost article,
"He Clowns To Touchdowns,"
we didn't realize that he was
'Super Man," "Mandrake the
Magician" and King Football
himself all rolled into one ... If
southpaw Frankle really Is as
colossal as the piece indicates,
it appears the Coast conference
race is all over and the Shaugh
nessy crowd is already in the
rose Bowl again . . .
Remember that old sidehill
gridiron In Ashland, on which
the west goal line possessed a
considerable altitude advant
age over the east end sons,
and everybody thought the
team "going downhill" had a
big edge ever the defensive
eleven? . . well. Bill Bower
man punctured that theory
the other day with the per
fectly logical statement that,
actually, the team "going up
hill" bad the advantage be
cause Its blockers were lower
than playera of the club head
ing "downhill" ... Bill ex
plained that effective blocking
can be done only by getting
and hitting lowei than the op
position . . thus, is dissipat
ed another hoary myth of the
gridiron. . . .
i In our humble opinion, the
cne ' thing the Black Tornado
Heeds more than anything else
Is a good punter In the back
field, a guy who can blast that
leather for distance when neces
sary, a chap on the order of
Stab Newland, probably the best
kicker ever to wear the red and
black . . . the club appears to
have everything else, potentially
-size, defensive strength,
breakaway boll carriers, a fine
passing attack and brains ... of
course, if all games could be
like the Weed affair, in which
the Tigers were forced to punt
only once, the lack of a punting
back would not be cause for

worry , . , but we're afraid some
time during this season a long
distance kicker will be wanted
desperately . . ,
Because of 10 games, which
were either postponed, cancelled
or played in terrible weather,
the Klamath Falls Pelicans of
the Oregon State league lost In
the neighborhood of 800 pota
toes the past season . . . that's a
shame, and worse than the Cra
ters did, although the latter club
had more than its share of can
cellations and games played
under positively lousy weather
conditions in one of the craziest
springs and summers ever to hit
this sector . . .
Medford had Klamath Falls
well scouted when the Peli
cans trimmed Portland's
Grant high last Friday night.
7 to 6, by virtue of a point-after-touchdown
booted by a
student manager who had
never before set foot on the
turf In a varsity game, and
the scout's report was that
the Hammer eleven displayed
"very sharp blocking in the
line" ... the Klamaths, ac
cording to the. Tornado scout,
looked much more potent than
they did against Chico the
week previous . . .
Lasl Untested Teams
Play This Week-End;
Pelicans Face Axmen
By Matt R. Kramer
Associated Press Staff Writer.
Oregon's regional leaders clash
Friday and Saturday In a series
of games that send tht state's
last untested high school teams
into action.
In western Oregon Eugene
opens its season, attempting to
stave off the invading Klamath
Falls Pelicans, two-time winners
already. Salem also will open.
Journeying to Milwaukle for a
No Name league contest
Sweet Home will provide
Roseburg's initial opposition.
Tillamook will play at Oregon
City and University high of
Eugene will brave the Albany
Bulldog attack.
In eastern Oregon a dark
horse Pendleton team tackles
the booming Milton-Freewater
Pioneers, who have posted two
wins with an offense gaudier
than the widely-adopted "T".
In inter-state games Nampa, Ida
ho, will vie at Baker Friday and
La Grande will go to Boise Sat
urday. Astoria, edged out by Roose
velt of Portland last week, will
attempt to spill The Dalles'
hopes of an undefeated season.

White Salmon will venture to
Hood River, and Prinevllle will
try again In its 10-year attempt
to upset Bend. Winner of the
state football tournament last
year. Bend lost heavily to gradu

(By Associated Press)
Sacramento failed to capture
the Coast league baseball cham
pionship after holding a 16 game
lead at midseason, but the So
lons are beginning to redeem
themselves in the post-season
Shaughnessy playoffs.
"Pepper" Martin's Sacramento
gang was in top position in
the battle for the President's cup
today after their second victory
over San Diego last night. The
Solons won 3 to 0, while the
Champion Seattle Ralniers went
down before fourth-place Holly
wood, 4 to 1.
The Solons pounded out nine
hits off San Diego Pitcher Wally
Hebert, bunching five of them
when runs were needed.
Turpin Blasted
Hollywood accounted for all
four runs In the first Inning
against Seattle, getting five con
secutive hits from Hal Turpin.
The Ralniers got their run In the
first, but Freddie Gay checked
them with tight pitching after
that.

SHIFTS EXPECTED
IN TIGER LINEUP
FRIDAY
Jim Glenn May Start At
Guard Against Corvallis,
Stan Smith At Tackle.
Coach Bill Bowerman of the
Black Tornado was undecided
today on the lineup he will send
against the gigantic Corvallis
high Spartans here at 8:15 Fri
day night in the second home
game of the season and the last
until October 24, but he indi
cated there might be a few
changes from the array that
opened against Weed last week.
Jimmy Glenn, 193-pound
guard-fullback who played most
of the Weed contest at the lat
ter post, may open at right
guard if Cliff Jones, 166-pound
fullback, is available for action.
Cliff's father Is ill in a Yreka,
Cal., hospital and Cliff was not
on hand for yesterday's practice
session. Bowerman said that if
Jones were here Friday night,
he would probably take over
the starting fullback position,
with Glenn moving into the
line.
Dlppsl or Orr
The left tackle berth will be
filled by either Ray Casebeer
or Stan. Smith, and it will prob
ably be Smith If the ankle he
sprained in the Weed game is
OK. At right halfback it will
be Steve Dippel, the sophomore
flash who tallied three touch
downs against Weed, or Ike Orr,
who is suffering from a Charley
horse.
The other positions are pretty
well set, with Bill Wall and
Curt Hopkins at the ends. Bud
Moyfield at left tackle. Bob
Mitchell at left guard, Stan
Winter at center. Bob Stead at
quarterback, and Cato Wray at
left half.
Drills on downfield blocking
have taken up most of this
week's practice time, and Bow
erman is not satisfied on the
manner in which the club has
been reacting. "By actual count,
we have had two downfield
blocks all week," the mentor
moaned. "They are getting down
there all right, but they are Just
running right on past the de
fensive backs.

WALKER'S TRIPLE
E TO TITLE
Braves Beaten, 4-2, When
Dixie Hits With Bases
Full Cards Beat Pitt.
By Judson Bailey
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The Brooklyn Dodgers are on
the threshhold of the National
baseball league's king row to
day. Another victory for the
"Bums" against the Braves at
Boston and a defeat for the
St. Louis Cardinals at Pitts
burgh would turn the trick.
This may not happen today,
but it shows how close the
Dodgers finally have come to
clinching their first pennant in
21 years.
Both of the rivals won yes
terday, the Brooks 4-2 at Bos
ton and the Redbirds 4-0 at
Pittsburgh.
It was Dixie Walker's 31st
birthday and he celebrated by
slamming out a triple with the
bases loaded in the seventh inn
ing to bring Brooklyn roaring
from behind. In this inning Joe
Medwick beat out a hit, Reese
singled and pinch hitter Lew
Riggs loaded the bases when t,
force play on his grounder
failed.
Then up strode Walker, who
hadn't made a hit all day. Left
fielder Max West edged in close
behind his shortstop hoping
Walker would lift a little
blooper as he had In the third
Inning. Instead Walker rifled a
liner over West's head to clean
the bases. That was the ball
game, although the Dodgers
added another run in the next
inning for good measure.
Reds Clinch Third
The remaining positions In
the National league were finally
settled in the other games. Cin
cinnati clinched third place as
Bucky Walters pitched a six-hit,
2-0 shutout against the Chicago
Cubs, although the Reds them
selves were held to four safe
ties. The New York Giants sew
ed up fifth place by sweeping
a doubleheader from the Phils
4-1 and 2-0, with Tom Sunkcl
pitching two-hit ball in the
nightcap. He had a no-hitter for
seven innings.
In the American league the
New York Yankees pummelled
the Philadelphia Athletics 7-2
with Joe DiMaggio hitting two
home runs and Atley Donald
hurling a six-hit game.
Thornton Lee pitched a two-
hitter as the Chicago White Sox
edged out the Cleveland Indians
2-1 and the St. Louis Browns
downed Detroit 3-1 although
outhit 10 to 6.
The Boston Red Sox whipped
the Washington Senators twice
7-2 and 3-4. Charley (Broadway)
Wagner allowed only four hits
and Dom DiMaggio hit a grand
slam homer in the first game.

Louis Expects to K0 Nova
Inside of 8 Rounds Monday
By SID FEDER
Greenwood Lake, N. Y., Sept 23 t,JP) Simply because he's
the kind of a guy who doesn't like to work overtime, Joe
Louis expects to knock out Lou Nova inside of eight rounds
in the Polo Grounds ring next Monday night.
Joe doesn t come right out in
meeting with a prediction as to
'when they 11 be lugging Louie
the Yogi out of there. Joe
doesn't pick the round any more,
ever since he made a slight
error ore day in 1938 by tabbing
himself to kayo Max Schmeling
in a large hurry in their first
fight. That was a bad one.
But the bomber gave you the
tip-off today as to how he
feels about this outing. He tore
through his training ritual up
here in the Ramapo hills like a
pedestrian crossing Broadway
against the lights. He sailed
right over sparring partners and
drove through his floorwork as
if he was getting ready for an
eight-rounder instead of the full
15-round derby route. A couple
of sports writers mentioned the
fact.
"Eight rounds?" he countered
"Say. that's an awful long
night's work, ain't it?"
As if he felt he needed some
thing special to counter the
cosmic punch or dance-with-the-dynamic-stance
that Nova will
put on display for the 50,000 or
so folks sitting in on Monday's
proceedings, Joe has added a
new wrinkle to his own reper
toire this time. You notice it
when he moves in to cuff his
sparmates around. It's a little
head bob and weave.
Not much, you understand,
but about like the small swagger
of a fellow who's just put over
a parlay on a pair of 20 to 1
shots. It doesn't help his attack
any, but it should put a little
more handicap on a sharpshoot
er trying to nail the Bomber on
the whiskers.
HAWAII DEFEATS
ELEVEN
Stockton, Calif.. Sept. 25. (.T)
Punching over two touchdowns
on long sustained drives, Uni
versity of Hawaii trounced Col
lege of Pacific 14 to 0 last night
for the second victory of its
mainland invasion.
The Rainbows uncorked a
deceptive passing attack and
moved 70 yards to score in the
first quarter. Nolle Smith, 160
ound halfback, plunged across
, from the three-yard line for the
i tally.
j John Naumu scored the sec
j ond touchdown on a seven-yard
! run in the fourth quarter, after
I Hawaii had marched 76 yards.
Naumu also added the conver
, sion.
Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's
Pacific Tigers threatened only
I in the last 30 seconds of play.
1 Camicia passed 37 yards to the
Hawaii seven-yard line but two
: more passes went incomplete in
the end zone and the game
ended.
Hawaii defeated Portland uni
versity, 33 to 6, for the first
victory of Its barnstorming tour
last week.

While the betting fraternity
