FOOT MEBFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. Mot. I, 1844 Ernie Piluso will be number eight in string of opponent attempting to atop the winning streak of the Gray Mask In the main event of Thursday night's Medford armory wrestling card. Filuso pins his hopes of achieve ment on his deadly headlock and octopus hold, a maneuver that never fails to pin an oppon ent once it is properly applied. The Portland flash has no in tention of trying to match head butts with the Mask, who has lost only two falls in his local appearances, but will pit bis kill and speed against the un orthodox style employed by the mystery man. Pete Belcastro, Weed terror, comes back to the armory arena and will face Tex Porter, for mer Medford boy, in the four round middle event. Belcastro will probably be given a match with the Mask if he can get over the rugged Porter. Ear) Malone, who displayed an array of rough tactics last week, will face a master at this type of wrestling in Bulldog Jackson in the opening bout, be ginning at 8:30. MEDFORD POINTS FOR CRUCIAL TILT Coming out of the football game with Bend last week, which they own 34 to IS, with out injuries, Medford's Black Tornado Is undergoing five days of strenous practice in prepara tion for their crucial Armistioe day game with the Ashland Grizzlies, to be played In Ash land beginning at 2 o clock Sat urday.

Medford Coach Al Simpson said his team is not selling Ash land short for the Grizzlies al ways make their best showing while playing the Tornado.

By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspendent New York, Nov. 8 (U.B It verges on the historic to find the Army-Notre Dame classls America's No. 1 football game rated as a mere appetizer for a later contest. But that's the sit uation: with Saturday's Cadet- Irish clash at Yankee stadium regarded generally as a sort of apertif before the Army-Navy sizzler at Annapolis, December 2. Army will trot onto the field Saturday, before nearly 80,000 fans, generally expected to give the green-Jersied Irish as lop sided a trouncing as the 32-13 defeat handed Notre Dame by Navy last week. This would con firm the later Annanolis classic as a genuine "meeting of t h e mighty." If Army can beat the South Bend squad by a margin bf 19 points, Lt. Col. Red Blaik will have turned out a magnificent team, indeed. Because the Cadets will be facing an Irish squad that's certain to be In spired by the tradition of the classic a squad that will go all out to keep alive the record that Notre Dame never has been beat en by" both Navy and Army In the same season. This contest should be a grand adventure In gridiron psychol spirit of Notre Dame" lift this wartime, sub-par band from South Bend In its traditionally "big game? Against Illinois and Navy, defensive defects were ex posed that remove the 1944 Irish, physically at least, from the high plane of prewar Notre Dame squads. And since the Navy contest, the team has been additionally weakened by the loss of Halfback George Terlap, through transfer. Meanwhile, they are pitted against one of the strongest machines In Army history possibly the strongest. From every angle, the annual Army game la the most import ant on Notre Dame's schedule. For years the South Bend insti tution has been regarded as the nation's No. 1 football school. It has a larger following of self appointed "alumni" by far than any other university. It's annual clash with Army has captivated the public, year after year, In a fashion never achieved by any other college contest not even the bowl games post-season af fairs that are staged long after the hurly-burly of the campaign has let down. Moreover, since 1923, the classic generally has been played In New York and generally at Yankee stadium.

The flying skill was displayed by Lt. John W. Pool of Corpus Christl, Texas, aided by Ensign Bernard Rielley of Pottsville. Pa., who wheeled into a cloud bank after the cannon shell from a Japanese fighter exploded in side their stubby-winged plane. But before evading the fighters. Pool and his gunner, Arthur Haycraft of Cedar Rapids, la., sprayed two enemy planes with tracers. Pool and his crew had been on a raid against the northern Japanese Island when Jumped by enemy fighters seven com ing low and eight or ten hover ing above in the sun. The fight that followed was short and fast; but, like all air combat in the North Pacific, the battle with guns was only half the fight. The long over-water flight home in a damaged plane still remained. Compass Knocked Out The Jap fire had knocked out the compass and other instru ments in the pilot's compart ment, but Ensign Jack Warner of Edlnboro, Pa., the navigator, went to work with the spare compass still undamaged despite the shell explosion within the plane. "I was working over one1 of the men and Pool was calling for a heading. He was in the fog and warned a course home, Warner said. "I'd never worked with this type of compass before, but finally Rielley and I got a course worked out. It must have been okay because later we got the other instruments working and were headed straight home." It wasn't until after the radio operator, Lee Lawrence of Ruth- ven, la., notified the field that the ship was landing with wounded men that the crew dis covered the hydraulic system had been shot out. Pool headed the plane down but as soon as the wheels were lowered for a landing creating pressure on the hydraulic sys tem the hydraulic fluid squirt ed from the explosion-shattered feedllne, spraying the Interior of the plane with an oily fluid.

November Sky Review and The Celestial Harp By J. Hugh Pruett Astronomer, General Extension Division, University of Oregon November skies, proverbially cloud-cOvered, sometimes break their gloom and permit us to look into the infinitudes of the great open spaces where dwell the "everlasting stars." When opportunity affords early this coming month, let us note the more prominent celestial ob jects. The brilliant planet Venus Is now setting about 1V4 hours aft er the sun so must be looked for In the southwest in the deepen ing twilight. Although this god dess of love and beauty is the brightest star-like object in the sky, she is not yet in a location to present her greatest splendor, a pleasurable anticipation of early spring. Around 7:30 p. m. we find the bright star Altair very high in the sky a little west of south. Orange Arcturus Is sparkling near the horizon considerably north of west. Our old stand-by, the Big Dipper, is now right side up holding water somewhat west of north Swinging around through the Lyra. north we find yellow Capella adding cheer to the lower north eastern heavens. Between the northeast and east the tiny com pact group of little stars com prising the Pleiades merrily twinkles near the horizon. A week from now when the moon Is out of the early evening sky, the Pleiades may be seen in all their beauty. Ordinary eyes see six stars in the group; very keen eyes, often nine or more. For the only other bright Star in the eastern half of the sky we must look In a direction be tween southeast and south where blue-white Fomalhaut is scintillating not high above the horizon. This star is in the mouth of the Southern Fish. Almost overhead Deneb, at the top of the Northern Cross, Is conspicuous although not so bright as the other stars so far located. Somewhat west of Deneb and very high in the sky, Vega, principal star In the Harp of Orpheus, is very bright. Five dim stars very near Vega out line the principal body of this classical harp, known today as "But we still needed some fluid to make up for the 'Juice' lost, so we could get the flaps down," Pool said. "Luckily we'd been too busy on the way back to drink our coffee or cans of orange Juice one of which was conveniently torn open by a shell fragment. So we poured it all Into the hydraulic fluid con tainer. It was Just enough to bring the pressure up so we could land." The crash crew stood by as Pool brought the plane In low for a perfect landing, holding the wheelless ail up until the plane slowed down and the tail clattered over the landing mat. The crew Jumped out and headed for the interrogation room. "I'll be along In a minute," Rielley said. In a moment he Joined the group. In his hand was a small crucifix.
