FOUR -MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday Oct 23. 1944 n, Tl According to figures, the com- lng Mcdford-Grants Pass south ern Oregon conference iootDau eame. scheduled for the Med- ford turf Friday night, should be an even battle. The Cavemen de feated Ashland by three touch downs last week while the Black Tornado was dropping Klamath Falls bv a like margin. Ashland and the Pelicans fought to a 12-12 tie which puts Grants Pass and Medford on an even keel. Jerry Clark, Tornado back field ace, will be out of the game because of a bursted blood ves sel in his thigh, causing a bad Charley - horse. Bessonette is nursing a sprained ankle and it is doubtful if he will start against the Cavemen. If not, Bill Plaskett will be moved to the tackle spot with Klrcher filling in at end Tornado Coach Al Simpson Is debuting some changes In the backfleld and may send either Stelle or Llndley, who made good showings against the Pell cans, into the starting lineup at quarterback., Bob Watson, who has been handling the ball from the T-formation, may go to right half. There will be practically no average weight difference be-! twecn these two teams, the Cavmen line coming close toj Medford a 188-pound average end their backfleld about the eame as the Tornado's 164 aver age. CLASH THURSDAY The wrestling match for which touthern Oregon fans have long waited will be offered as the main event at Medford armory tomorrow night when Paavo Katonen meets the Gray Mask in a one-hour two out three fall clash, Armory customers have been asking Llllnrd to put these two head butting specialists together for .several weeks but It was not until Kntonen personally made a request for such a match that the promoter agreed to do so. Tactics of the Mask have near ly started several riots at the arena and lost week an Irate (an cracked him with a chair as he was leaving the ring. The hooded mystery man has been accused of having something In his mask and if some wrestler doesn't remove the hood soon, the fans are liable to undertake the task themselves. A match expected to contain all the thrills of clean and scien tific grappling will pit Ernie riluso with Herb Parks, Cana dian champion, In the four round middle bout. Tony Ross reported that he has sufficiently recovered from a touch of influenza to meet Howdy O'Doudy, In the three round opener. Tlrls match will go to the mat promptly at 8:30. EEARS IMPROVE TIMING FOR WASHINGTON GAME Berkeley, Calif., Oct. 23 (U.PJ University of California Bears have continued to show improve ment In timing and are right on top for their game with the Uni versity of Washington Huskies here Saturday afternoon.

Al' though no official score was kept, the young Orangemen showed considerable scoring punch. Coach A. T. (Slats) Gill started Hal Puddy and George Sertic at forwards: Ted Hen' ningsen, center, and Bernle Mc Grath and Jack Slmms, guards. Hcnningsen was the only non letterman In the starting com' binatlon and he saw lots of ac- tion as a sophomore reserve on the 1B4Z northern division champion Orange club. Every member of the Beaver squad had plenty of opportun ity to show his ability under actual game conditions before the evening was over. Gill hopes to arrange several more scrim mage sessions with nearby teams before the Beavers open their pre-season slate against Willam ette November 24 and 23. Irish - Illinois Game Expected To Draw 60,000 Fans Champaign, 111., Oct. 2SM.n More than 50,000 football fans will invade Champaign Satur day to see the midwest's top football attraction, undefeated Notre Dame vs. Illinois.

Quakers Point To Upset Victory In Clash With Navy New York, Oct. 25 U.R) Pennsylvania's boy-p o w e r e d Quakers, the surprise team of the eastern football season, will try to come home against Navy Saturday on a "single wing and a prayer" and Coach George Mungcr is optimistic enough to think It may get there. Penn's assignment against the "bound-tobe-bolling" Navy mid dles probably Is the least en viable of the day, but Mungcr and his beardless boys are tak ing it In stride, much in the same manner that they ap proached their other upset vic tories In their unbeaten and united record to date.

Salem Cop Kicking Giants Toward Pro Football Title By Walt Byers United Press Staff Correspondent Chicago, Oct. 25 (U.PJ The heavy foot of a Salem, Ore., policeman has kicked the moth balls off of one of the oldest defensive plays in football and as a result is booting the New York Giants towards the east ern division championship of the National Football league.

First Lt. Thomas M. Judd, 24, Washington, D C, told me how his long training In safety pre cautions saved his life while he was unconscious. Judd's plane was knocked out by a Messerschmitt sneak at tack. A shell-burst in his cock pit slammed Judd's head against the instrument panel knocking him out. Somehow he got out of the plane and pulled his ripcord, although when he came to, float ing downward, he could remem ber nothing after the explosion. Explosion Opened 'Chute Judd told me the story of Sgt. Robert Renner of Weeping Wat er, Neb., tail gunner of a Lib erator which was rammed in midair by a Bulgarian fighter. The Buigar who did the trick became post-humously a na tional hero. Americans who wit nessed the crash take the edge off his heroism they say his controls jammed and he had no choice. Anyhow, Renner saw the enemy fighter bearing down on his Lib. and realized the crash was Inevitable. The next thing he knew, he was drifting to earth alone ... his plane and flying mates gone. Renner was the sole survivor of the Lib saved by a freak of the explo sion that blew him clear of the wreckage and ripped open his parachute. From other fliers I learned of the escape of the unidentified pilot of a Lightning fighter after a 20 mm. shell exploded in his cockpit. The P-38 went out of control and the pilot wrenched at the cockpit cover only to find that it was jammed and would not move. Crawls Out Shell Hole So, with his plane streaking to ward earth, the pilot proceeded to crawl through the hole torn in the fuselage by the shell. It was a tight squeeze and before he could get his feet clear, the plane had dived 10,000 feet and he had a bare margin of safety left. But he made it. Judd matched that with the tale of a sergeant whose cloth ing caught fire from burning gasoline as he baled out of a stricken bomber. Floating down, the sergeant could feel the agony of flames creeping up his back toward his parachute straps. Just as the straps burned KYLE'S RESTAURANT CHICKEN AND STEAK DINNERS Open B p. m. to i a. m. Phone Central Point 472 for reservations. On tha Pacific Hiqhway at Central Point.
