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.

7 TO 5 TO
DEFEAT IRISH IN
TOP GRID CLASH
By Carl Lundqqulst
Unitel Press Correspondent
New York, Nov. 3 (U.PJ
The smart money boys, who sel
dom see football games but are
well supplied with the "right
dope" on every major team,
conceded today that it would
take more than the "luck of the
Irish" for Notre Dame to defeat
the resurgent midshipmen of
Navy.
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.

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

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.
