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.

Oregon State College, Corval
lis, Oct. 29 A lengthy scrlnv
mage session with the Corvallis
Marine Air Base team here Mon
day night gave Oregon State's
1944-45 basketball squad its first
taste of outside competition. 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.
The ticket sale has climbed
to more than 50,000 and univer
sity officials said the attendance
might exceed 60,000. The
heralded duel between Buddy
Young, Illinois' left halfback
and national sprint champion,
and Bob Kelly, Notre Dame's
All-Amerlcan halfback candi
date, has brought requests for
newspaper accommodations
equal to the record total in 1023
when Red Grange was playing
his last year.
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.

Long Training In Safety
Precautions Aid Yankee
Airmen to Save Own Lives
By Samyr Soukl
United Press Staff Correspondent
Cairo U.R) American army
fliers recently arrived in Egypt
after months of imprisonment at
Shumen, Bulgaria, tell tales or
miraculous escapes that arouse
attention even in this land of
the impossible.
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
