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.

BALCASTRO BEATS
COAST CHAMPION,
TONY ROSS LOSES
Pete Belcastro uncorked a
series of rights and lefts to Jack
Riser's chin to win the main
event of the wrestling card at
Medford Armory last night. 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.

VALUABLE HORSE
"Mashle," a valuable, register
ed American saddle bred two-year-old
horso belonging to Rob
ert B. Hammond of the Fern Val
ley district, seriously injured last
Armistice Day, when she col
lided with a calf in a pasture,
and crashed a front shoulder into
a metal fence post, has regained
her normal friskiness, due to a
can of sulfa drug, applied by
her master, and deft veterinary
surgery by Dr. Stanley I. Phil
lips. "Mashle," when found by
Hammond after his return from
the Armistice day parade here,
was lying helpless on the
ground, bleeding profusely, and
with the main muscles and ten
dons of a front shoulder torn
loose. He rushed to the barn
for the can of sulfa, applied it
to the open wound, and phoned
Dr. Phillips who was attending
the football game at Ashland,
who arrived an hour later. They
took'' "Mashle; to the born, and
the operation started. The ten
dons were stitched together sep
arately, and the muscle trimmed,
and replaced In its socket. The
wound was bound, and "Mashle'
retired to a box stall In the sta
ble, where she remained for
nearly two months.
Last week she started to roll
and kick, with no impairment
of gait, and only a thin pencil
like scar to show she had been
hurt. She will be turned out to
pasture soon.
Hammond said in yean ago
such an injury would have
meant the shooting of the ani
mal, which is beautifully mark
ed, and has been widely admired
by scores of valley horse lovers.
The owner says he has -refused
flattering offers for her. He be
lieves she suftalned her Injury
while racing with an older horse,
and crashed into a calf, taking
a header into the metal post.
