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.

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 Detroit Lions gained a 21

Promoter Mack Llllard an
nounced today that he has sign
ed Paavo Katoncn, former Pa
cific coast wrestling champion,
ito face the Gray Mask In the top
main event at Medford armory
Thursday night. 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.
Tony Ross, who was suffering
from a touch of flu last week,
promised Llllard he will be
ready next Thursday. He will
face Pat (Rowdy) O'Doudy In
the curtain raiser, beginning at
8:30

(U.R) The post public relations
office said today an investiga
tion was being held Into reports
that 100 or more members of
the women's army corps at the
post were threatening to go
"A. W. O. L. In a body" In pro
test against their dislike for the
methods of their commanding
officer.
The - public relations office
said It understood, however,
that the complaints were all "of
a minor nature, such as inevit
ably arise in any group of peo
ple" and said the Wac command
er, Capt. Dorothy Tomhave, "is
doing a fine job and has the full
backing of the post command
er." The complaints originated, it
was said, after the Wacs had
learned of the transfer of Cpl.
Marie Sayre to Fort Myer, Va.
They protested in the meeting
that the transfer was made for
personal reasons. The public re
lations office said that "natural
ly, this action was initiated by
higher headquarters and had no
personal significance."-
