Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: I. Pickery Takes Final Crack At Gridiron Games Professor I. Pickem, peerless prognosticated makes his final 1941 appearance today (loud cheers), and as Lady Luck would have it this week's batch of foot ball fracases look like the tough est the pickster has yet encoun tered. But due to numerous reverses during the season, and many falls from the limb, Prof. Pickem has become hardened to misfortune, and anything that may happen to his dozen selec tions this week will leave him cold and unmoved. In short, he is a veteran at the business of calling them wrong. So, until next year, the Prof, says adieu, and hopes both his readers haven't lost as many chips on his prognostications as he has himself. Here they are: MEDFORD-THE DALLES. All season Professor Pickem has placed the finger on the Black Tornado, and only once was the finger bitten by the Ashland Grisalles. He fervent ly hopes It is nipped again to ' night, and this time by the 'Tigers, for the Prof predicts 'that Medford will be defeated by The Dalles In their clash at the latter town. It looks to him like It will be two great prep elevens tangling in an even-up affair, with The Dalles having a hairline ad vantage because of playing at home and because Captain Curt Hopkins will not be available to the locals. The Dalles, by 13 to 7. OREGON. OREGON STATE. The Ducks might flap their wings with enough vigor to drive away all the Beavers' imell of "roses." It's strictly a tossup, but Pickem will string along with the Orange mainly because of those numerous Ore gon injuries. OSC 0, Oregon 3. STANFORD - CALIFORNIA. This Is another traditional battle that could go in any direction, but the Golden Bears don't ap pear to have what it takes to stop the Indians. Stanford, by 13 to 6. ARMY-NAVY. The gobs' su perior manpower and Bill Bu sick should turn the tables for Annapolis, but by the narrow margin of 7 to 0. WASHINGTON-U. S. C. Off their performance against Notre Dame the Trojans figure to be plenty hard to handle. However, Pickem'll take a flier on the Huskies, by 13 to 0. TEXAS CHRISTIAN S. M. U. With a prayer on his lips, the peerless prognostlcator selects the Mustangs of S.M.U., SI to 19. I rue (J0&i3CiO Folks, Listen!

Boston. 20 to 0. TULANE-LOUISIANA STATE The Green Wave has been ebb ing and flowing all year, and Pickem believes this is one of the weeks it goes to town, Tulane, by 19 to 7. FORDHAM-N.Y.U. The Rams will really pour it on their an cient Violet rivals. Fordham, 33 to 7. PITTSBURGH - CARNEGIE TECH. Both are "de-emphasized," but Carnegie was more in earnest. So. Pitt, by 26 to 12. OKLAHOMA - NEBRASKA. Oklahoma is the slight betting favorite here, but Pickem'll risk a slim vote on the Cornhuskers, 7 to 8. RICE-BAYLOR. In the South west conference anything is possible. Realizing that, Pickem still likes Rice to the tune of 20 to 14. KNOCKS OUT FOE San Jose, Calif., Nov. 28 (JP) An unexpected flurry of hard blows last night excited Joe Louis, heavyweight boxing champion, so much that he knocked out George Glambasti ano, Los Angeles heavyweight in the third round of a scheduled four-round exhibition at munici pal auditorium. The business blow, a left hook flush to Giambastlano's Jaw, came after one minute and 24 seconds of the third round. The excitement developed after two rounds of colorless boxing in which Louis shuffled slowly around the ring toying with his sparring partrTur. Suddenly in the third round, Glambastiano decided to ex change a few blows with the champion. He did and Joe re taliated with a Sunday punch. TOMMERVIK LEADS ALL IN OFFENSE Seattle, Nov. 28 (IP) Mar vin "Tommygun" Tommervik, 1940 little all-America halfback at Pacific Lutheran college near Tacoma, Wash., will wind up his senior year as the greatest total offensive gainer in minor college football. American football statistical bureau figures released today show Tommervik has gained 1,762 yards from passing and rushing in eight games, and still has a game left against College of the Pacific at Tacoma tomor row night in which he hopes to be the first to amass 2,000 yards in one season.

Seagram 5 Ctotom Wrihlif-. 6 Proof. shx .Vet. m T?iy State 5 AS ELEVENS GIRD FOR BIGJATILE All Seats Sold Hayward Fixes Braces And Splints For Injured Oregons Eugene, Nov. 28 At least half of the 20,900 football fans fortunate enough to hold "high premium" tickets for Saturday's Oregon-Oregon State classic will get wet, according to weather forecasts made here this morn ing. But regardless of weather conditions and the inevitable poor footing of Hayward field, the lighter weight OSC eleven continues as a S-to-4 betting fa vorite to win this 45th meeting between the two traditional lntra-state rivals. Eugene hotels and local tour ist cabins have been reserved for weeks, and late comers have been forced to seek accommoda tions as far north as Junction City and south to Cottage Grove. No General Admission There were 16 tickets still on sale when the office closed last night, but these "horseshoe du cats" were gobbled up early this morning. There was little specu lation, but mid-field tickets were selling at $15 per pair. There will be no general admission for the game here tomorrow. Through the assistance of Colonel Bill Hayward, track coach and retired trainer, Tex Oliver is expected to be able to use most of his "cripples". Hay ward has fashioned special braces and splints for the in jured Webfoots. Only Ray Se gale, regular guard, and Bill Regner, regular end, are expect ed to be out of the starting line ups. The entire squad is suffer ing from injuries, but few are other than those naturally accu mulated during a heavy sched ule such as the Webfoots have played. "BEAT OREGON" Corvallis, Ore., Nov. 28 (JP) Campus fever began to soar today in anticipation of Satur day's football game at Eugene between the possible Rose Bowl ers, Oregon State, and their final hurdle, the University of Oregon. "Beat Oregon" signs appeared on cars, windows and as cut-off lines In the Daily Barometer, student 'newspaper, but Rose Bowl talk was hushed. The traditional rivalry be tween the two schools was all the students needed to work up enthusiasm, and talk of bowl possibilities was with a crossed finger tone and a weather eye Q OG 0QG eraln neotrml spirit. Sea gram-Diwi -4 Favorite to Defeat Webf oots Tomorrow out for Coach Lon Stlner, who has frowned on its mention in his presence. The Beavers will enter the game at full strength, all regu lars and, first-string reserves be ing ready for the fray.

Men rorpnraftno. New York LONGHORNS BLASTll AGGIES, 23 TO OAS By Austin Bealmear New York. Nov. 28 (JP) The fading football season is facing its last big day with the problem of producing opponents for most of the bowl contests and settling several family feuds. Yesterday's second edition of the Thanksgiving holiday fur nished one major scrap in which once-mighty Texas returned to form and kicked Texas A. and B. right out of the ranks of the unbeaten and untied by the score of 23-0. For the second time in years, I Coach Dana Bible's Longhorns rumea a perieci record ior ineir rivals at A. and M., although this time the Aggies had the southwest conference title safely tucked away. Another southwest entry, tail end Arkansas, kept its season from being a total flop by whip ping Tulsa, champion of the Mis souri valley, 13-6. Fullback Jack Faubion scored all the touchdowns for Okla homa A. and M., which trounced Wichita (Kas.) university, 33-13. Elsewhere in the southwest, Arkansas Teachers nosed Arkan sas Tech, 7-6, McMurry blanked Oklahoma City university, 7-0, and Ouachita stopped Hender son State by the samo score.' Louisiana Tech crushed Cen tenary, 39-7, and Chattanooga whipped Mercer, 40-14. Tennes see Tech shut out the Middle Tennessee Teachers, 6-0. Florida A. and M. scored a 27-0 victory over Xavier of New Orleans, Norris Brown dumped Clark, 32-0, and LeMoyne triumphed over Arkansas State, 7-0. Tomorrow's headliner is that annual classic at Philadelphia between a talented navy team that will be playing its last game for Coach Swede Larson and a scrappy army eleven that will be completing its first season under Coach Earl Blaik.

USED CAR LOT NINTH AND BARTLETT STS. Football Briefs Palo Alto, Cel., Nov. 28. (JP) Stanford settled today on a starting backfield lineup 73 per cent first string, and the betting odds on an Indian victory in tomorrow's big game against California still, stood 2V4 to 1. The final strenuous workout found Frank ie Albert, Pete Kmetovic, Eric Armstrong and Bob Crane in the ball-carrying department. Coach Clark D. Shaughnessy indicated that is the way they will take the field in the test that means every thing to Stanford's Rose bowl hopes. Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 28. (JP) Sophomore Billy, brother to veteran tackle Bob Reinhard, appeared today to be invested with a large measure of Cali fornia's hopes for "big game" victory over Stanford. The younger Reinhard, a left halfback, can run faster than any of his fellow Bears, is a skilled passer and tias perform ed brilliantly on regular occas ions through the season. In the past two days, said Coach Stub Allison, the sopho more ball carrier has progressed remarkably and now stands No. 2 In the left halfback lists. Sen ior Al Derian is nominated to start the game, but Allison in dicated that Reinhard would be thrown into action at the cli mactical moments.

Soggy Field Expected for Medford-The Dalles Clash Medford's Black Tornado arrived In The Dalles early yes terday afternoon to find that Amotan field, scene of its cli max clash with the unbeaten and untied Indians tonight, was wet and muddy and would probably offer insecure foot ing at klckoff time, according to a telegram received from Russ Acheson, assistant coach. Russ wired that, although the i weather was clear and cold, the! gridiron was soggy from recent1 rains. This factor was expected to prove advantageous to The Dalles, who outweigh the Tigers 10 pounds per man, ac cording to Acheson. The Tornado squad, when it stepped off the train in the Columbia river city, was met by The Dalles band and hun dreds of business men and stu dents, and escorted to its hotel. Acheson wired that the betting on the game was even, although most fanatics in the home town believed the Indians would win. However, Russ observed, The Dalles hasn't forgotten the 41 to 0 beating they received from Medford in 1928, and the 6 to 0 blanking they suffered here last season in the semi-final game of the title playoffs. There will be no change in Medford's original starting line-; up, according to the telegram. ! This means that Bill Wall and : Darrell Monteith will open at the ends, Stan Smith and Bud Mayfield at the tackles, Wes j Davis and Bob Mitchell at thej guards, Dan Winter at center, Bob Stead at quarterback, Ik? j Orr and Cato Wray at the half-1 backs and Cliff Jones at full back. The 24-man squad held a light workout on Amotan field yes terday afternoon. Acheson 1 wired that "the team is in fine condition and the spirit is high." 1 but at this hour, even the bet-: ting fraternity was split on the ; odds. The sorriest spectacle In town ! was the ticket speculator. Every one wants to go to the football ! game, but tickets were snapped ! up weeks ago through the reg-1 ular West Point and Annapolis ! channels and few found their way into the hands of the mid-1 die-man.
