FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
ILLINOIS GRID
ACE CONVERTED
By Walt Byen
United Press Correspondent
Chicago, Oct. 24 (U.R) A
stubby, 160-pound halfback,
playing his first season of col
legiate football, today supplied
proof that a track champion can
fit into a football uniform and
still run away from the field.
lie is Claude (Buddy) Young,
Illinois' footloose negro left
half who sprinted to national
collejjiote and liig Ten track ti
tles last spring. The 18-year-old
colored fireball, a rocket with
leg3, now is on his way to a na-
tional football title while giving
Illinois the most dangerous
touchdown threat In the Mid
lands.
Scores 60 Points
Although used as a "spot"
performer In the early games
Young has scored 00 points as
Illinois has defeated Illinois
Normal, Indiana, Iowa and
Pittsburgh, tied Great Lakes
and lost to Purdue.
In 43 ball carrying attempts,
the little man has picked ti5
S47 yards for a 12.7 average,
a shade better than the cur
rent national record of 12.2
net In 1(139 by Jackie Robinson,
U.C.L.A.'s breakaway negro
halfback who also was a con
verted track star.
Usually track champions fail
to fit Into the 11-man football
pattern. One of the more recent
failures was Fred Wolcott, Rice
Institute's dash and hurdle king
Who tried to be a halfback. But
the timing, finesse and shiftiness
needed for gridiron stardom
wasn't In Wolcotfs legs.
Tricky Back
Young, however, has been a
sensation since the opening
ga.ne, showing the change-of-paca
and tricklness that marks
a great running back. He has
rambled to at least one touch
down In each game thU season,
including a 03-yard scoring
spring against Great Lakes, a
30-yard one against Purdue and
a dash of 02 yards against Pitts
burgh. About 153 pounds of bolts,
nuts and rivets are used In the
average truck, according to the
War Production Board.

High School Youngster Has
Sensational Boxing Record
' By Jack Cuddy
i United Press Correspondent
Now York, Oct. 24 (U.R)
Brown-skinned Billy Arnold is
Just a Philadelphia high school
kid; but he's the hottest thing
in boxing hardest-hitting
youngster to come along since
the rise of Joe Louis.
Moreover, he's a "gold mine
on ,he noof" because he's a na
tural weiterweignt a sensation
al performer in the 147-pound
division, which Is the money
class of pugilism at this phase of
the war because it alone is Jam
med with top-flight civilian per
formers. Bright Future
Remember the name Billy
Arnold. He's only 18 now; but
before he hangs up his gloves
in the distant future he may
have blasted his way to a pede
stal above any previous welter
who ever tossed leather. And
that means rising above some
great welter warriors of the past
like Kid McCoy, Joe Walcott,
Jack Britton, Mickey Walker,
Jimmy McLarnin, Barney Ross,
Henry Armstrong, and even the
present Ray "Sugar" Robinson,
whom Arnold ultimately will
dynamite Into the dust before a
large crowd.
Arnold has the narrow, toma
hawk head and moose nose of a
brown-skinned Abe Attell. From
unusually broad shoulders, his
145 pounds taper down to slen
der hips and Damascus-steel legs.
He has the intelligence to make
good marks In high school in
telligence, which combined with
excellent co-ordination, makes
him a good boxer. But. above all,
he has the "heaviest" punch
pound for pound registered in
the ring in many a year. When
Block-buster Billy hits 'em, they
stiffen as If struck by a caper
ing piano. Half of them have
gone flying out of the ring.
27 Knockouts
For example, when Arnold's
thunderous right exploded on
the chin of Ernie "Cat" Robin
son In the second round at St.
Nicholas arena last night, vet
eran Robinson made a body
flight of six feet, through the
ropes, and landed on the ring
apron. He managed to stumble
back into the ring at the count
of six, but Referee Billy Cava
nagh mercifully stopped the
bout, giving Arnold his 27th
knockout in 2!) straight victories
since he turned professional.
Betters Louis' Record
Twenty-nine consecutive vic
tories, 27 by knockouts, is per
haps the most remarkable get
away record in the history of
boxing. Even Joe Louis' sensa
tional start did net equal this.
As wo recall, Joe won 27
straight, before he was belted
out by Schmcling; but four of
Joe's opponents went the sched
uled distance Jack Kranz.
Adolph Wiater, Fatsy Perroni
and N'atle Brown. Only one op
ponent ever has gone a scheduled
distance with the Philadelphia
Block-buster. Ho was Billy Fur

HUNTING LICENSElPATRIOTS BATTLE
Justice of the Peace W. P.
Tucker reported today he is
confronted with a hunting li
cense problem, concerning new
residents. Under the state game
laws a person is a non-resident
until he has resided in Oregon
for six months and must pur
chase a non-resident license,
costing $15. The regular resi
dent license costs $5.
Three cases are now pending
of this nature in. justice court.
In each case the defendant has
established residence in this
county, but has been cited into
court for non-possession of a
non-resident license by the state
police. The minimum fine is
S25.
In one case, Justice Tucker
ruled the defendant should re
turn to the store where he pur
chased his hunting license, and
be allowed to include the $5
payment on the $15 non-resident
license, leaving $10 to be paid.
In this instance the defendant
with his family came here last
July, rented a house and estab
lished residence. He also went
to the state and city police and
sought help in complying with
all auto regulations. The court
holds this showed his good in
tent, and that possession of a
non-resident hunting license
was an oversight.

is no truth in rumors that cer

rhlt Is the story of a Seabee named
Luca Cavallo, and his wallet. It's only
en inddent, really not very import
ant, perhaps, when you're thinking in
terms of global war and things like
that. But Luca's wallet was mighty
Important to him, and it caused quite
a stir on the railroad long distance
calls, telegrams, and a man stumbling
along in the driving rain when he
didn't have to. It's a human story, and
it's true.
One evening last winter a Southern
Pacific train full of Seabees was head
ed south. ("Seabee" is Navy for C3.
Construction Battalions.) On board
the train, Luca Cavallo and his pal
Pete were eating box lunches. Be
tween bites, Luca proudly showed
Pete a snapshot he had taken from
his wallet a picture of his attractive
wife and their baby, Gilda.
After Pete had r.ropetly admired
the picture, the two Seabee finished
their meal. Then Luca gathered up
the waste papers and napkins, raised
the train window end tossed the ref
use out,
Seconds later, Luca reached for his
wallet. It was ffrne! And with it, the
precious snapshot his onlv link with
home, his wife and GUde! By mistake
he had thrown the wallet out the win
dow with the waste paper!
Frantically, Luca ran throuf.h the
train and found the conductor, Joe
Olinder. He told OUnder what had
happened. There was nothing in the
rule book to cover such situstions, but
Olinder immediately swung into ac
tion. He rushed up to the headend of the
train where he could see the loccmo
tiva headlight illuminate the next
mile post. He wanted to get a "fur" on
where the wallet was lost.
As the train rounded i curve, he
sew the white mile post stand out
clearly in the blinding glare of the
headlight -a?." Indelibly It was
printed on his mind.
At the next stop. Conductor Joe
Olinder called the Oakland dispatch
er, Lloyd Lednar, and told him the
whole storv. Ladner immediately tele
phoned the Nile operator Ralph
S troupe, who got in touch with assist
ant signal supervisor Claude Lyon and
asked him it someone couldn't go out
along the right of way and look for
Cerallo's wallet.

It was a terrible night raining
hard and very cold but Claude Lyon
put on his raincoat, got in his car, end
started out.
At mile post 37 he got out of the
car and started walking along the
right of way, scanning every foot ofls
it with his flashlight.
He walked more then a mile in the
driving rain. He stumbled into four
or five water-holes, got scratched in
a briar patch, fell down e slippery
clay embankment . .. but he found
the wallet, and brought it back to his
office.
When he opened the wallet, he
found a hundred dollars In water
soaked paper money. More import
ant, he found the precious snapshot
of Luca Cavallo's wife and their
baby, Gilda.
As Lvon put the money and picture
near the stove to dry, the phone rang.
It was Mrs. Florence Spencer, S.P.
telephone operator at WatsonvilU
Junction, calling for Luca Cavallo to
see if his wallet had been found.
"Yes. I found it," Lyon answered.
"Everything s in it the money the
picture. . . , What's that? He wants
me to keep the money? Listen, Mrs.
Spencer, you tell the sailor that if he
wants to give any rewards, be can
tend that money home to his little
daughter. As soon as the stuff is dry
enough, I'm putting it ell in an en
velope and mailing it straight to him."
This story doesn't have muciv te
do with Southern Pacific's part in the
war effort. It simply shows that rail
