Number One Game Pits
Georgia Tech With Navy
Midshipmen' Rated Equal
By Carl Lundqulit
United Press Correspondent
New York, Oct. 20 AIM The
road ahead for the nation's pre
mier football teams was due to
get rougher than a cross country
jeep ride this week-end when,
with the little obstacles out of
the way, they encounter their
most formidable opposition to
date.
The schedule Is limited, but
tho quality excellent, with every
section offering an array of
games strictly in the toss-up cate
gory.
The number one game In the
country is at Atlanta, Ga., where
the cream team of the south
land, Georgia Tech puts Its per
fect record on the line against
the Navy Midshipmen, reported
Iy chafing at the chain and
ready to unleash the power that
thus far has- been practically a
military secret. Odds are even
with plenty of support on both
sides.
Great Lakes Plays
Practically the same situation
prevails at Columbus, O., where
Lt. Paul Brown brings his Great
Lakes Naval Bluejackets back
to play the unbeaten Ohio State
Buckeyes, the team he projected
Into the national spotlight be
fore going into the service. Great
Lakes is unbeaten but tied and
rates a bare edge over the Buck
eyes in the midwest's top game.
There are a number of other
games rated as even as Polly
nnna's temper. These include
Tennessee vs Alabama in a meet
ing between perfect record
, southern elevens, with North
i Carolina Pre-Fllght against
Georgia Pre-Flight also likely
I to be a tossup. Iowa State bat
tles Missouri ior Big out su
premacy while Kansas and Ne
braska met for consolation laur
els in the same circuit, with coin
tossing the order in each game.
In the southwest, Texas Chris
tian and Texas A. & M. and Rice
against Southern Methodist are
major hazards for the pigskin
prophets. Colorado College vs
Colorado in a Rocky Mountain
fracus and Callfornla-C amp
Shoemaker on the coast could go
either way, while Cornell-Sampson,
Holly Cross-Brown and
Penn State-Colgate are eastern
games rated even or nearly so.
Purduce 2 to 1
The game likely to decide Pa
cific coast honors between
Southern California and Wash

It was a free-for-all in the
main event of Mack Lillard's
wrestling card at the Medford
armory last night with the Gray
Mask putting his fifth consecu
tive victim to the local canvass
when Butch Davidson bit the
dust. The mystery man took the
first fall after 18 minutes of
rip-roaring wrestling. Davidson
played clean until he was konk
ed on the head with the Mask's
steel-like noggin and cannon
balled to the mat.
From then on It was wide open
for the wrestlers and Referee
Earl Yoakly participated in the
fun.
After taking a considerable
beating the Mask- again lashed
out with his masked head to
send Buck to the mat. The ex
marine had to be helped from
the ring.
Llllard announced that the
forthcoming card will see the
Mask meeting an old-time fav
orite of Medford wrestling fol
lowers, Ernie Piluso. Piluso no
tified Lillard that he was anx
ious to meet the winner of the
main event Thursday night in
the Medford ring.
Along with the return of
Piluso the spectators will also
see Pete Belctstro who has been
absent from this wrestling cir
cuit for some time.
Paavo Katonen and Tony Ross
fought it out in the semi-main
event, four 10-mlnute rounds,
with Katonen coming out on top
with two falls.
Herb Parks and Tex Porter
opened the evening's schedule.
Parks' pinned Porter for the
first fall with a body slam and
press and Porter evened the hon
ors with an airplane spin and
body press.

CANDIDATES FOR
ROSEiOWL PLAY
Bruins To Be Hit Lightly In
. Shift of Navy Personnel;
Service Teams Play.
By Gene Friedman
United Press Staff Correspondent
Los Angeles, Oct. 20 U.R)
Maybe lt doesn t make sense to
figure that a team could go
through the entire first half of
its season and win Just one game
and still be a potential candi
date for the New Year's day
Rose Bowl football game. But
that was the situation with the
Bruins of the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles today and
there is enough of a story that
goes with it for it to develop
a degree of logic.
Bruins Said Strong
The Bruins broke into the
winners' circle for the first time
last week end when they gave
St. Mary s civilians a thorough
drubbing and when it was over
Coach Jimmy Phelan of the los
ers tabbed them as stronger than
either California or Southern
California.
Their opportunities will be
better from now on when the
California members of the Pa
cific coast meet in the second
go-around of their wartime
schedules.
For one thing, when the navy
shuffles its personnel about
after completion of training
courses next week, the Uclans
will suffer fewer losses than
either California or Southern
California. Although they will
lose their left halfback, Johnny
Roesch, who has done most of
their scoring, they have two
other good running backs in Vic
Smith and Jack Boyd. Moreover,
they have a big tackle, Sleepy
Markham, now ineligible, who is
receiving notices as one of the
Enough
Today in the Douglas Fir region there
stands 490 billion feet of saw timber ready
for harvest . . . enough to build 37,000,000
homes ... to literally replace every home
in America. Beside this mature stand, there
are 8,000,000 acres of junior forests, which
are growing three billion feet more every year.
The war has made huge demands upon our

standout linemen on the coast.
The Bruins get another chance
to redeem themselves this week
end against St. Mary's Preflight,
but the big game on the coast
won't be until Monday night
when the Washington Huskies
get their chance for revenge
against Southern California for
the thorough drubbing they took
in the Rose Bowl last January 1.
Southern California, tested
against major opposition, prob
ably will be the favorite since
Washington's schedule thus far
has consisted of four warmup
games, two each with Willam
ette and Whitman.
. Service Teams Rate
In a Sunday standout between
service elevens, the March Field
Fourth Air Force Fliers and the
El Toro Marines meet and the
winner is likely to be rated on
a par with any military post
team in the country. Such stars
as Indian Jack Jacobs of Okla
homa, Bob De Fruiter of Ne
braska, Vic Spadaccinl of Min
nesota, Fred Davis of Alabama
and Dick Barwegan of Purdue
for the Fliers and Cliff Battles,
pro star; Paul Governali, Colum
bia's passing ace; Bob McLeod of
Dartmouth, Bob Dove of Notre
Dame, and Harley McCollum of
Tulane, for the Marines.
