(1 a- EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. Not. 3. 1944 Tl FOOTBALL TEAMS Bnhert Wall! United Press Staff Correspondent Los Angeles, Nov. a iu.rj Generally speaking It has been an unhappy season for Califor nia's three Pacific coast confer ence football teams and it isn't likely that things will get better until they get worse. First of all, because of a lack of first-rate opposition, they have been restricted In the main to playing each other or meet ing service teams In the area. Against each other no one team has had any sustained domina tion and against service teams they have been cuffed around like scrimmage dummies. Teams Underdogs Tomorrow each of the three teams, California, Southern Cal ifornia and University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles is the un derdog in games with top flight service clubs. Later on they'll be matched against each other again and the "cut-throat" busi ness is likely to resume. The improved Southern Cali fornia Trojans take time out be fore their final stretch drive to oppose the once-beaten San Diego naval training squad. Troy's brilliant offensive back, Gordon Gray, has received a naval transfer and will not be available, which switches the odds in favor of San Diego In a closely rated game. Bruins' Chance Slim For U. C. L. A. tomorrow is likely to be an even rougher day. The Bruins, who have lost each of their three games with service teams, this time face an aggregation rated stronger than any of their previous military opponents, the 4th Air Force Fliers of March field. California, deflated by Wash ington's Huskies last week, are not accorded much of a chance gainst Alameda Coastguard. In the only other west coast game, the Fleet City Blue jackets are rated easy victors over the youthful St. Mary's Gaels. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT Br United Press Boston Henry Chmlelewskt, 160. Portland..

Underdogs for the first time In two years, Notre Dame was on the short end of a 7 to 5 price for tomorrow's meeting of the teams at Baltimore in the top football game of the season to date. Army Choice Trouble also appeared to be ahead for all but two of the 12 perfect record college and serv ice teams. Only Army's Cadets at 5 to 1 over VUlanova and the Randolph Field Fliers at the same price over North Texas Aggies were conceded victory without complications. - Georgia Tech rated only 7 to 5 versus the hard-luck Duke Blue Devils, rated a. much better team than their one victory in five starts would indicate. Wake Forest is 7 to 6 over improving Clemson and Yale's Bulldogs 8 to S in the traditional Ivy-league contest with Dartmouth, while Mississippi State is 2 to 1 over Kentucky, Buckeyes 6 to 5 The Ohio State Buckeyes face an Indiana eleven that Coach Bo McMillin has been pointing for the game and are only 6 to S to win. Three other games in volving perfect record teams were posed as even. Michigan State was conceded no edge over Missouri. Oklahoma A. & M.'s Coyboys and Norman, Okla., Naval was a toss-up with both teams unbeaten, and Bain bridge, Md., Naval was even money against North Carolina Pre-flight on Sunday. Purdue Favored In the East's other games, the Pennsylvania-Michigan intersec tlonal bout at even money was a highlight with Rochester-Case also listed "no choice." In other Big Ten ' features Minnesota and Northwestern were rated a toss-up while Pur due stood as 7 to 5 choice over Wisconsin. Iowa was 7 to 8 over Nebraska in an lnter-con-ference game while Oklahoma was 8 to 5 to defeat Iowa State In a Big Six meeting for the league lead. Kansas State was even-ste'phen a g a i n st Little Wichita. Tulsa, deflated by Ok lahoma A. & M., was even money against Iowa tre-fllght.

The TOGGERY 34 No. Central Avenue B. C. MacKanna Arthur D. Hesi ARMORY ARENA The Gray Mask extended his winning streak to seven at the expense of Paavo Katonen in Medford Armory last night. It was the third straight defeat for the Finn at the hands of the Mask in the Medford ring. Katonen, except for a few brief minutes, was on the offen sive from the beginning of the match and gave his hooded op ponent a miserable evening un til, while throwing a series of sonnenburgs, the former coast champion ran into a drop kick which bounced him on the back of his head and left him dazed. The Mask lifted him by the hair to apply three violent head butts and then Jumped onto Ka tonen's middle which left the Finn out cold. Referee Earl Yoakley and Promoter Mack Llllard pleaded with the Mak to grant Katonen an extra five minutes but he re fused to do so and was granted the match on default. Ernie Piluso took two falls out of three over Earl Malone, who was making his first ap pearance at Medford, Malone started out clean but soon re sorted to dirty tricks. Piluso paid him back dearly, however, when, with falls standing 'one each, Piluso hung Malone's neck In the ropes and then ran to the opposite side of the ring to tighten thtm. When he was fi nally freed, Malone jvas easy prey tee a body slam and Piluso was declared the winner. Bulldog Jackson and Tony Ross' went to a draw in the opener. Each gained a fall. E Twenty-two Medford high football players, accompanied by Coaches Al Simpson and Ed Kirtley and Manager Don Wal dron, left this morning for Bend where the Black Tornado will face the Bend Lava Bears in a district 2 clash tonight. Simp son reported that his team Is in good condition for this game and that the regular star tine lineup will be as strong as at any time this season. Bend will throw a formid able record at the Tornado to night in a game that Medford must win to maintain its unde feated record in a race for semi final play-offs for the dlsrict crown, and a right to enter state championship finals in Portland Dec. 2. i; I In other games Ashland trav els to Roseburg and Klamath Falls foes to The Dalles. Three-Man Commission Seen In Place Of Baseball Czar By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspendent New York, Nov. 3 U.R) After considerable investigation, we have come to the conclusion that a three-man national com mission instead of another "czar" will succeed Commis sioner Kenesaw M. Landis as the dominant power in organized baseball, when aged Landis re signs because of health. Chairman 'of the national commission probably will be Leslie M. O'Connor, who now is secretary and treasurer of the commissioner's office. The other two members will be Ford Frick, president of the National league, and William Harridge, president of the American cir cuit. A somewhat similar three-man board governed baseball from 1903 until 1920, when Landis became commissioner vested with supreme powers follow ing the "Black Sox" scandal. No one knows exactly when Landis will retire; but he Is ex pected generally to step down within the next year. He will be 78 November 20. He has been ailing for years. At present he is in an Illinois hospital, which he entered shortly before the world series. He was unable to attend either the series or Wednesday's draft meeting ac Chicago. His office says he went to the hospital merely to rest. However, it's still uncertain if the ancient "jedge" will be able to sit in on the annual major league meetings at New York, December 6 to 8. It is possible that Landis would have retired before now, had he been uble to set the stage so that "his man" O'Connor would have succeeded him. At least that's the opinion of per sons who should know. We are informed reliably that Landis insists upon O Connor as his sue 'cessor because of O'Connor's knowledge of the duties of the commissioner s office, his famili arity with baseball in general, and his legal background. However, there is a potent faction of major league club owners that is bitterly opposed to O'Connor not through any lack of confidence in the secretary-treasurer's ability or in tegrity but because they fear O'Connor would be sure to carry out certain Landis policies which they have fought for years particularly with refer ence to the operation of farm clubs.
