BORN 30 BAYS TOO SOON
If Melvln Ramos, rated last
year best defensive play
er on the Pelican squad, had
been born 30 dayt later in
September instead of August
Snowy Gustafson would be
a happier football coach.
. When next August rolls
around Ramos will become
19 years old, Just one year
too old to play football un
der the revised rules for Ore
, gon. . But It his birthday
were in September, after
' school opens, he would be
eligible for the entire season.
The rule doesn't affect those
who reach the 19-year mark
after the season gets under-
way.
: Nevertheless Ramos,' who
plans to become a manager
later in the year, will- be
allowed to play in at least
three games next fall
against Chico, . Eureka and
Everett, Washington. School
starts in August in California,
rendering the Klamath half
back eligible for games with
California schools, and in the
state of Washington the age
limit is 20. -,
"
. ' STRONG AT ENDS
, Among the standouts for
next fall's Pelican eleven will
be Harold Weber and Marion
'Reginato, at the end posi
tions. - Weber was rated all
. conference last year and Reg
inato received all-conference
honorable mention.
In . the backfield Bob Att
acker, fanciest ball carrier on
last year's squad, will prob
".. ably be replaced by Jack
Shultz, Wildcat left half who
is rated tops by Wildcat Coach
Frank Nihil. Rollo Cheyne,
however, will give him a close
run for the left half post on
the Pelican first eleven. :'
At the other half position
Jack Mitchell and Don
Schortgen .are promising.
Mitchell was Nihil's outstand
ing blocking back in 1939. :
V ;iv MR. X FROM OCDEN
Snowy may have a first
. string transfer in Al Skeen,
160-pounder from Central
nigh at Ogden, Utah, who says
he held down a tackle posi
tion on the undefeated Cen
tral high team last year. At
' that weight, hell have to be
tough.
Another transfer who may
bear watching is Mauford
Lovelett, 160-pounder from
Milwaukee, who played guard
. on the Milwaukee team. -
The transfer route, inci
. dentally, claimed Hopkins,
promising: halfback, who will
join . the Black Tornado at
Medford next year. Eugene
Love, end, may move to Bend
and the Lava Bear hangout
before school starts next fall.

ory last night Chief LitUe Wolf,
amiaDie zza-pouna inaian wrest
ler, polished off Pete Belcastro,
the Klamath assassin, two out
of three falls before a capacity
crowd and demonstrated to the
spectators why he is rated as
one of the 10 best wrestlers in
the country.
The long-haired redskin ace
stood toe to toe with Belcastro
and absorbed every unorthodox
type of punishment Pete could
think of and still came back
with a whoop to make the Ital
ian pay for his shady tactics.
Even at that Belcastro refused
to concede the match to the
chief after the third and decid
ing fall, claiming that his
shoulders were not pinned for
the required three seconds.
Chief Attracts Czowd -
Chief Little Wolf, a stocky
man with mammoth shoulders
and a powerful physique, caught
the eye of the majority of the
huge audience that packed the
local sports arena to the rafters
from the time he. entered the
ring. Meanwhile Belcastro sulk
ed in his corner and wouldn't
even acknowledge the chal
lenges of Cowboy Dude Chick
and King Kong Clayton when
the latter two asked to meet the
winner of last night's duel in a
match next week.
Although outweighed more

Belcastro held his own with

Drop-kicks Win First Fall y
- The Klamath assassin was tak

a couple of drop kicks floored
the redskin and Belcastro fell
on his prostrate victim for the
first fall after nine minutes and
four seconds of the savage melee.

Madigan Asserts
'Personal Feud'
Caused Release
SAN FRANCISCO. March 13
(UP) The St Mary's board of
athletic control said tonight it
was forced to discharge Slip
Madigan as head football coach
because Madigan turned down
suggestions a week ago that he
resign voluntarily or take a
leave of absence.
In a second announcement re
buking Madigan tor his "atti
tude," the board denied Madl
gan's assertion he was dis
charged because of a "personal
feud" with Andrew Burke,
member of the board. The
board last night decided not to
renew Madigan's contract when
it expires March 31, 1941.
"The board . . . had hoped it
would not be necessary to dis
cuss the reasons that prompted
the decision not to renew Mr.
Madigan's contract and to re
lieve him of future duties under
it," said J. Philip Murphy, board
chairman.
"But in view of the published
statements of Mr. Madigan, the
board. The board's decision
ly amplify its first statements . .
It is a matter of regret that Mr.
Madigan's attitude has made
necessary this added statement."
"The board's action is not the
result of any feud between Mad
igan and any member of the
board . The board's decision
was made more than a week ago
and Madigan was immediately
informed of it. .
"It was then suggested to
Madigan in a letter under date
of March 6, 1940, signed by
Brother Albert, president of the
college and vice president of
the board of trustees, that he
ask for leave of absence or for
a temporary cessation of duties,
with the assurance of the chair
man of the board and of the
and started out after his unlucky
enemy. More than once the Chief
would take- that peculiar little
run around the ring with his
rival in a head lock, then jump
high in the air and throw his
victim over on his back. It
wasn't very pleasant and Pete
didn't relish a bit of the Indian's
fun. '
: Belcastro did get In a couple
of dropkicks but his 'last one
backfired and Little Wolf won
with a body press by smother
ing Pete with his massive shoul
ders. The Italian put up a vig
orous protest to Referee Ypakley
that he was not down, but the
arbiter had ruled and the match
was over.
Clara Challenged
Prior to the main event Chief
Little Wolf announced to the
audience that a woman wrestl
ing protege of his, Juanita Bar-
nett of Oklahoma, better known
as "Little Pocahontas", was is
suing a challenge to Clara Mor
tenson, world's champion fem
inine grappler, for a shot at the
crown, or any other match. In
one previous meeting Barnett
defeated Champion Clara and
since then Mortenson has re
fused to clash with the able
Oklahoma gal.
In Tuesday night's special
bout Gladys Nolan of Kansas
City and Clara Mortenson put
up a bearcat of a battle with
the latter finally winning out
to regain some of the prestige
she lost two weeks ago when
Nolan trounced her here at the
Klamath armory. It was all over

president of the college that his
contract rights would be respect
ed and his salary paid to the
end of his contract.
"Furthermore, he was told
the board would withhold any
publicity respecting his decision
for the period approximating
one week in order that he might
make the news public and thus
be relieved of any embarrass
ment consequent upon the
board's decision.
"In response of these sugges
tions, Mr. Madigan declined to
take such action. This decision
was made known to the board
through a letter from Mr. Madi
gan directed to Brother Albert,
dated March 11, 1940.
"Upon receipt of this letter,
the board had no alternative
but to release the story for pub
lication." The board still declined to ela
borate on its reasons for ousting
Madigan.
At St. Mary's, "Red" Strader,
Madigan's assistant who was
named by the board to take
over spring football practice, ar
rived at the practice field as
usual today but called off the
workout and went home because
"my boss isn't here."
Strader said he wouldn't re
turn until he was formally noti
fied of Madigan's discharge.
Madigan said the "personal
feud" with Burke was respon
sible for his dismissal after 19
years of service to St. Mary's.
The fighting Irishman, who
by sheer coaching ability and
personality almost single-handed
raised little St Mary's from a
"pile of bricks" to a nationally
known football power, said he
would not fight the ouster. He
indicated his football coaching
days are over for good.

Piluso, Chick Draw
Ernie Piluso of Portland and
Bobby Chick of Wyoming fought
to a draw in Tuesday's opener.
Chick gained the first advan
tage with a body press in 2:09 of
the fourth round while the hus
ky Portlander evened the count
with a body press of his own
midway in the sixth and final
round. Piluso left the ring with
a neck injury he suffered in
clamping on the hold that gave
him a draw.
Second bout of the evening
lasted exactly one minute and
forty seconds. Cowboy Dude
Chick of Wyoming and Bob
Montgomery of Georgia, the
contestants, were at it before the
opening gong when the latter
decided he was wasting time
and attacked the Dude from the
rear as he was limbering up in
his corner. Three times Mont
gomery evicted Chick from the
ring with dropkicks and slug
ging. When the Cowboy did get
back within the roped arena,
he promptly smeared the South
erner by lifting him to his shoul
ders and clinched the match
with his famous airplane spin.
Montgomery was unable to an
swer the bell for the second
fall and Chick was awarded the
match without further ado.

United States carried 1,556,280
