Purdue Bolts To Top of Grid Ladder
With Astounding Upset of Ohio State
New York, Oct. 22 U.R
Boop-poop Purdue rode right up
there with the nation's top foot
ball teams today after its as
tounding upset of Ohio State.
Alabama was winning not Jar
behind on the whiplash arm of
Harry Gilmi'i.
Fourteen teams In all remain
ed unbeaten and untied as the
season rounded out its first
month but their number can
dwindle sharply this week if the
Karnes follow the pattern of last
week's upsets in which Ohio
State and Georgia, among
ethers, bit the dust.
Both army and navy face dan
gerous opponents. The Cadets
play a strong Duke team tnai
expects to have key players
back in action. Navy plays the
red hot Pennsylvania Quakers
and the odds will be close.

shape up as follows:
East Army, Navy, Columbia,
Holy Cross, Temple, and Penn
sylvania all unbeaten and un
tied. Columbia sees visions of
a roso bowl invitation after its
31 to 0 trour.clng of Colgate but
has s"me stiff foes still on the
list including Penn.
Midwest Purdue and Min
nesota both unscathed with the
Boilermakers the toast of the
Big Ten as a result of their 35
to 13 pasting of Ohio State.
Minnesota was only slightly less
impressive in disposing of North
western. Oklahoma A. & M.. a
member of the Big Six confer
ence, running independent
thrashed Utah to remain unde
feated. Oklahoma and Missouri
are tied for the Big Six leader
ships, but neither has showed
impressively outside its own
loop.
South Alabama towers over
the field and if the Crimson Tide
gets by Georgia this week it has
almost clear sailing to one of
the major bowls. Georgia, with
Charley Trippl back In the line
up, was a big disappointment in
a 32 to 0 loss at the hands of
Louisiana State but can be ex
pected to bounce back against
Alabama. Mississippi Stale de
feated Maxwell Field to remain
In the unbeaten ranks.
Southwest Texas Is almost a
cinch to repeat as cattle country
champion, Texas plays Rice this
week and should keep its record
spotless.
Far West St. Mary's Is the
only undefeated team In the sec
tion but the Gaels don t come In
for Pacific coust conference or
Rose Bowl consideration. South
ern California still looks the
best In the conference and the
Trojans' prospects of a third
straight trip to Pasadena look
bright.

PASTE SHOE POLISH
Rufus Jones,, for the second
straight week, refused to meet
the Gray Mask in the Medford
armory ring. Mack Lillard has
signed Jack Lipscomb, Pacific
Coast junior heavyweight cham
pion, to face the hooded head
butting artist in the top half of
a double main event Thursday
night. Lipscomb, one of the most
cold-blooded ' and toughest mat
men ever to set foot in the Med
ford ring, will be given an excel
lent chance to halt the Mask's
winning streak.
Jones, who has offered all
sorts of excuses to keep from
facing "Old Stoneface," will go
against Angclo Martinclli, the
Buckeye Blockbuster, in the oth
er half of the dual main event.
If Jones is looking for set-ups,
he will be badly fooled for he
draws a formidable foe In Mar
tinelll. Joe Lynam, the ever-popular
youngster from Redmond who
has recently returned after
three years In the South Pacific,
meets clever Herb Parks in the
opener, a match which promises
all the speed and color of last
week's curtain raiser.
CLEVELAND KEEPS
New York, Oct. 22 (U.R) The
National football league race ap
peared today to have evolved In
to a two-man affair, with Bob
Watcrfield of the Cleveland
Rams still slightly ahead of
Don Hutson of the Green Bay
Packers.
Waterfield's superb passing
led the Rams to a 41 to 21 vic
tory over the hibernating Chi
cago Bears yesterday, keeping
the undefeated Rams with four
straight wins. It was the hap
less Bears' fourth defeat.
The defending champion Pack
ers dampened the champion3hiD
enthusiasm of the Boston Yanks
with a 38 to 14 decision sparked
by Hutson'a fine pass-catching.
in oilier games yesterday, the
Pittsburgh Steelers broke a 15-
game losing streak with a 21 to
7 victory over the New York
Giants; Detroit's Lions stayed in
the western division chase with
a 26 to 0 win over the Chicago
Cardinals, and Washington vir
tually erased the Philadelphia
Eagles' eastern title hopes with
a 24 to 14 beating.

It seems our friends in Klam
ath Falls get a kick out of re
ferring to the Medford Black
Tornado as the black wind or the
black breeze. It Is our guess
that, after that 51-0 pasting they
received Friday night, they will
acknowledge that it is a tornado
of the first order.
Medford dominated the play
In almost every department as
they amassed a total of 564
net yards from scrimmage snd
passes io Klamath's mere 53.
Medford chalked up 23 first
downs to the Pelicans three.
They tried 16 passes, com
pleting eight' while Klamath
Falls made 13 aerial attempts,
completed four and had three
intercepted.
The Tornado averaged 48.4
yards on kickoffs to 50 by Klum-
ath, who kicked off but once.
Medford's average kickoff return
(one), was 20 yards while Klam
ath averaged 22 yards. Al Simp
son's boys averaged 33 yards on
punts, kicking once, while the
Pelicans averaged 31.5 yards.
Medford's punt returns were for
an average of 9.5 to Klamath's
38 garnered from one return at
tempt. Medford drew a total of
75 yards in penalties to the Peli
can s 19.5. Medford recovered
three Klamath Falls fumbies
while the Pelicans failed to grab
up a single Medford bobble.
There were several fumbles
by each team for lhe field was
a soggy mass as if it had been
deluged by a heavy rain. The
track around the field, how
ever, produced dust when the
sound truck was driven over
it. The wet turf failed to de
moralize the Tornado although
It did hamper Bostwick's long
break-away runs but didn't
stop the terrific power pro
duced by the rampaging Med
fords. Klamath Falls had predicted
the Grants Pass game would be
a "dress rehearsal" for the Med
ford contest and we laughed long
and loud when the Pelicans
wound up on the short side of a
13-12 count. But the Klamath
Falls writer who said that knew
more of what he was talking
about than we figured. It did
turn out to be a "dress rehearsal"
and when the real thing came
along the Pelicans played their
part well.
Klamath Falls might be able
to attribute that humilating 51-0
thrashing to the fact that the
Klamath boys were having
trouble keeping their pants up.
A Klamath writer said earlier in
the season that Medford was evi
dently running up big scores in
an effort to scare the pants off
opposition but that Klamath boys
would have their pants on when
the game started.
We suggest Dave Rees give
up broadcasting either football
games or wrestling matches.
Three times during the Klam-Bth-Medford
broadcast. Reel
said, "Both teams are in the
center of the ring." We' pre
sume he meant in the center of
the field.
The Southern Oregon confer
ence picture took a change over
the week-end although this de
partment predicted otherwise.
Ashland pulled a belated fourth
quarter rally to take a 19-7 de
cision over Grants Pass which
now makes the Ashland-Medford
game here Nov. 12 loom as the
contest for the league champion
ship. Previously we had pic
tured Grants Pass as being the
thorn in Medford's side. How
ever, figures and comparative
scores mean nothing in a ball
game and anything can happen
before the thing is finally set
tled. Medford is now on top of
the heap with one conference
win and no losses. Grants Pass
and Ashland are knotted with a
win and a loss and Klamath Falls
brings up the rear with a win
and a pair of defeats.

SHARON F..WIGHT
Describing his trip from San
Francisco to Manila by way of
the Marshall Islands, and scenes
in the Philippine Islands, Pvt.
Sharon F. Wight recently wrote
to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Wright, Route 1. Pvt.
Wight, who left the United
States in August, is en route to
Japan.
The young man stated that the
bay was full of sunken ships,
mostly Japanese, and that the
countryside around Manila is
strewn with wrecked planes. The
tin roofs on native houses are
full of shell holes, he wrote, and
the brick and concrete houses are
all badly wrecked.
Describing the native villages,
Pvt. Wight wrote of the bamboo
and grass houses, built five feet
off the ground, and commented
on the fact that there were no
fences to keep stock up.
Horses Cute
"Their main way of traveling
Is a little light two-wheel bug
gy," he wrote, "and they use one
horse. Their horses sure are
cute. They are about the size of
a three-weeks old draft colt."
The soldier commented on the
train coaches, writing "They are
real small and made of wood
with no windows, just square
holes. They look just like the
first ones that ever came out."
Pvt. Wight stated that the
men had nothing to do but just
"lay around and sleep" and add
ed "we were the first bunch to
come over without rifles and we
haven't any yet, and I'm glad."
"The natives have quite a
racket here. There aren't any
bananas, cocoanuts or pineapple
growing in camp, so the natives
sell them over the fence and do
they get a good price. Two co
coanuts for one peso, or half a
dollar to us. Three pesos for a
pineapple or a dollar and a
half."
Pvt. Wight embarked Aug. 18
