FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE " Wednesder. Oct. 17, 1943 Captain Darrell Riggs Probably Out Of Tornado Lineup Against Pelicans The Medford-KIamath Falls a total of 198 points to their op- football gam, to be played In Klamath Falls Friday night, will be broadcait oyer radio station XMED, beginning at 8 o'clock, it was announced today. Captain Darrell Riggs, who Is ona of the outstanding linemen In Oregon high school grid cir cles, will probably ba out of the crucial game with Klamath Falls Friday night. Coach Al Simpson said today. Riggs, 185-pound left end, suffered a broken nose In the Eureka game here last week nd, although he has returned to school Monday after a week end in the hospital, he has not reported for practice. Use of medicines to relieve the pain have left the lanky flankman "woozy" and It is un likely he will be in physical con dition to play, even with a nose guard, Simpson said. Lynn Bessonotte and Howard Whillock, starting tackles, have been battling with a touch of flu for the past few days but will probably be ready to go for at least part of the game, the mentor declared. Remainder of the team was in good shape this morning, after a couple of days of heavy workouts for the battle at Klamath Falls. Klamath Falls is sparked by a pair of backs by the names of Edwards and Redkcy who are good men in any league and are not to be sold short against tnc Tornado. Both are much faster than the average high school backfleld man and will be away for a touchdown whenever they can break into the clear. The Pelicans have played four games, breaking even with two wins and two losses. Last time out they dropped a 13-12 decis ion to Grants Pass in a Southern Oregon league clash. Medford, on the other hand, has amassed ponents' seven In winning four straight. talentToface pointers friday Talent, Oct. 17 Talent high school's six-man football team, defending county champions, will face Central Point here Fri day night.

Squires of Everett, Mass., second cook on the torpedoed S. S. Malantic, and a Mer chant Marine Distinguished Service Medal awarded posthumously. Squires clung to a rope thrown to the life boat in which he, the ship's master and nine other crewmen floated on rough seas until the other tea were safe on a British rescue craft after the torpedoing. Then he lapsed into unconsciousness and was swept away. Investment in Vic tory Bonds to support living heroes is a testimonial, too, to such men. . if i St Trwty Dlportnuni SEATTLE COURSE Fred Apostoli Not To Make' Comeback In Boxing Business San Francisco, Oct. 17 (U.R) Fred Apostoli, San Francisco, former world middleweight champion, today decided against comeback try.
