TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE GET REAL TEST NEXT SATURDAY By Jack Cuddy United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 23 (U.R) Un tested Army and frosh-fuelled Pennsylvania, current football biggies of Hie cast, will demon strate. Saturday against formld able opposition whether either is a genuine contender, for na tional laufcls. Army smacks Into rugged Duke before 57.000 at the Polo Grounds, and Pcnn's Juveniles Joust with Navy's vacillating vet erans before 73,000 at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Both brawls re assured sellouts. Cadets Favored '. The West Point Cadets will be favored over Duke because of their Impressively unblemished record for a quartet of contests with mediocre opponents North Carolina, Brown, Pittsburgh and New London Coast Guard. In those four games the soldiers rang up an oddlng-machlne total of 250 points against a paltry 14 for the opposition, who re sijted as effectively as toy tanks gainst o bazooka. Meanwhile, twice-beaten navy probably will be a slight favor ite over Pennsylvania despite the lattcr's perfect record against Duke, Dartmouth, and William and Mary. Belting men fear Penn's lack of line depth against the deeply-manned outfit from Annapolis, potentially perhaps the most powerful eleven on the nation's gridirons a strong wea-l twin that is lust ahout readv to explode after a hnlf-scason of power-wasting and bad luck. Y New York, Oct. 23 (U.R) The Green Bay Packers ended at least temporarily today the ''get-rich-quick" success story of the amazing Cleveland Rams and moved on looking for other Na tional Football league opponents to conquer. The Rams, a motley collection at best, threatened to do in foot ball what the St. Louis Browns did in baseball, but Green Bay Vooled their aspirations and fur thered Its own yesterday with a 80 to 21 victory, Its fifth straight without defeat In league com petition. The New York Giants, com bining a slamming offensive with a stout defense, maintained their leadership In the eastern division with a 23 to 0 triumph over the Chicago Cardinal-Pittsburgh Steeler combine. Tho Phliaielphln Eagles. pro Tiding a success of long runs by fleet backs and a 50-yard field goal by Quarterback Roy Zim merman, won easily from the Boston Yanks, 38 to 0. Joe Aquirro calmly kicked a 82-yard field goal In the final period to give the Washington Red Skins a 17 to 14 triumph over tho Brooklyn Tigers In a ame that was closer than had been expected.

The match was finally signed after continued Insistance on the part of the Finn who has been clamoring for the bout for several weeks. The Mask, who nearly Incited a riot last week in beating Buck Davidson and was cracked over the head with a chair while leav ing the ring, is a master at head butting, Katonen, on the other hand, is no slouch when it comes to using his noggin and also is an expent at using the reverse chin lift- which has been the downfall of several of his foes. Ernie Piluso will come back after several months absence from the local arena and will clash with Herb Parks In the middle match.
