IX MZDFOltD MAIL TRIBUrTB
WET GRID MAKES
MEDFORD ELEVEN
SLIGHT FAVORITE
Portland, Ore., Dec. 1 U.PJ
The Railblrds side-glanced at
the weatherman today and put
Medford down as a slight fa
vorite to beat La Grande at
Multnomah stadium here to
morrow afternoon in the game
to decide the state prep school
football championship.
- Said the weatherman In his
latest forecast for Portland and
vicinity more rain. More rain
means a probable muddy field.
And a muddy field means that a
slight edge must be conceded
the southern Oregon outfit
whose line averages 100 pounds
to the man compared to the 170
pound average for the La
Grande line.
' So reason the Railbirds.
But La Grande didn't seem
impressed by the argument to
day as it continued prepara
tions for the big push tomorrow.
Paying little heed to the Rail
birds or to anyone or any
thing else except their urge to
get out there and win tomorrow,
each team today was confident
of victory.
The elevens that won the
semifinals both arrived here
yesterday, and lost little time in
getting the feel of the Multno
mah stadium gridiron. Each
squad was reported in top con
dition for the contest.

TWO STRAIGHT
Gust Johnson, Pacific coast
Junior heavyweight wrestling
champion, lived up to all expec
tations at Medford armory last
night when he took two straight
falls over Harold Davidson, in
the main event of the weekly
program.
Davidson started out fast and
gave the champion considerable
trouble with a little wrestling
and a lot of illegal maneuvers.
Before long, however, Johnson
found the opening for which he
was looking and slipped out of
a headlock to come up with a
surfboard hold which forced Da
vidson to yell quits.
Davidson made a game effort
to come back, but his arms were
practically useless and Referee
Earl Yoakley stopped the match
and declared Johnson the
winner.
Bulldog Jackson and Herb
Parks got a fall each in the mid
dle-bout.
Tony Ross, a cleanle In previ
ous appearances here, opened
up with a lot of dirty work and
won from Tarzan Totvln with
three back-breakers and a body
press In the third round of the
opener.

TAKEN BY DEATH
El Paso, Tex., Dec. 1 U.B
Albert B. Fall, former secretary
of the interior, died yesterday
old and almost penniless, but
confident to the end that history
would some day clear his name
of the part he played in the no
torious Teapot Dome and Elk
Hills oil scandal that ' rocked
President Harding's administra
tion. His body was found last night
by Sisters at the Catholic hos
pital where- he had spent the
last two years. Fall, who was
83 years old last Sunday, had
been under treatment for arth
ritis which had crippled him
until he could no longer walk.
Fall virtually disappeared
from the public eye in 1928
when he was convicted of brib
ery in connection with the leas
ing of the Elk Hills oil reserve
to Edward L. Doheny, wealthy
California- oil man and one-time
prospector friend.
