TOUto MIDfOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January I, 1145 SEES DUTY WITH SSF, STATES Bob Smith, former Medford high gchool and University of Oregon football star, Is now in Europe with the Special Service Forces, according to an article by Sports Editor L. H. Gregory in a recent Issue of the Ore gonlan. After first entering the army, Smith played football out of Fort Ord, Calif.,- the article states, but wasn't getting enough action. So he volunteered for the SSF and was sent to Klska after being trained at Helena, Mont. When his outfit got there they found out the Japs had left so Smith was still without ac tion. Exactly one year later ha was in on the Invasion of Normandy and was in the first outfit to land on the beaches there. In a letter written to his mother, Mrs. W. H. Smith, 4504 S. E. 65th, Portland, and quoted by Gregory, Smith said he used some football tactics In aiding his bunch to stalk a German outfit from the rear which had been holding up their advance. Smith said, the article states, that they captured more men than were in his company and didn't lose a man. Smith, who is a lieutenant, has a brother, George, a first lieutenant in the medical corps, and another brother, John, an air force sergeant, whose plane was shot down over Munich a year ago but managed to land In the Netherlands. No word has been received from him since, the article states, but the family has reason to believe the under ground saved him. ST.

It was a rough go from start to finish with Belcastro usually holding the upper hand by his rough tactics. First fall went to the Weed assassin with a body press after slowing Kiser down with punches to the head. The coast champion evened the score short ly after with his pet alligator clutch. During the third session Bel castro tried desperately to catch Klser in a surfboard hold but when several attempts failed he clipped the champion several hard punches to the chin and took the fall with a body press. Holding a one-fall advantage gained in the third round with a backbreaker, Tony Boss got caught in Gust Johnson's surf board In the fourth canto and was unable to come back so Johnson was declared the win ner. Bulldog Jackson kicked Milt Olson out of the ring twice In the last round of their opening match and then refused to re lease a choke hold so Referee Earl Yoakley stopped the match and. declared Olson the winner on a foul.
