24 BINGHAMTON PRESS Oct 6. 1950 I North, U-E Game Rated Even Match Cornell Gains Big Edge In Pre-Game Vandalism Syracuse (fl5) Cornell 1 and Syracuse Universities, football opponents this Saturday, awoke this morning to find their rivals' names painted in brilliant colors on cam pus buildings. A Syracuse University spokes man said that "Cornell beats Syracuse" had been painted in big red letters across Archbold Stadium's new press box, and that "Cornell" had been smeared in red on ticket Battered Orange Team Is Underdog By the United Press booths and the university library steps. Es. -5- Strapped by injuries to key play Fs if.

-rmtm. i SrM J'v-m 1. s- -j ers, Syracuse University upset-minded eleven rates a definite second choice to Cornell for their big clash in Archbold Stadium tomorrow. Topping the weekend card, the annual Upstate attraction is ex pected to draw more than 30,000 fans to the Syracuse bowl. Cornell's senior-dominated crew is a two-touchdown favorite to make it four in a row over Syra- oiica nrkl nU lncn't' Immar tMoiAMf in the classic since 1946.

UlVt U.Mil bU IAKUS The Orange's main hope for an upset rested on the passing arm of veteran Bernie Custis. Cor v. "Beat Cornell" in large orange letters appeared this morning across a highway underpass near the Cornell campus, and the university said the one word, "Syracuse," had been painted on tht steps of Baker Laboratory. The Cornell Sun, a daily student newspaper, reported that the traditional Cornell Syracuse rivalry had taken "tangible form." It said "A party of Cornellians painted 'Cornell 1950' In blazing carnelian on Archbold Stadium Wednesday night. The Sun added: "The marauding party, which accomplished their spectacular feat of advertising, is reputed to have been followed by another foray dispatched from Ithaca yesterday afternoon.

"A third group left Ithaca lata last night seeking further adventure in the Orange stadium. "When contacted by telephone last night the editor of the Syracuse Daily Orange (university newspaper) said that a party had reportedly set out from Syracuse to avenge the dastardly deed." At Syracuse street and campus signs born Big Red "C's." In addition to the red paint work, the university said, vandals had knocked down hundreds of freshly laid bricks in a wall being built behind new stands at Archbold Stadium. They also dug a large about 15 yards across, in the middle of the football field. A university spokesman said it was the first time that such vandalism had preceded a game between the two friendly Central nell's ground defense gave up only 60 yards in its opener against Lafayette. Overmatched against powerful Army in its (debut, Colgate moves North vs.

U-E? As the national betting line out of Minneapolis would report: "It's 6 to 5, take your choice." That's about the best odds one can get on tomorrow afternoon's battle at North Field which is the conference debut of Ty Cobb's 1950 debut and the home field debut of Gordy O'Reilly's club. If a fan should wager your six on North with an eye to picking up five, he'd do so with the assurance that Joe Tino and Joe Garbarino will be functioning at full power. TINO, GABARINO REPAIRED Tino's shoulder Is no longer hurting him. As a result U-E may see an aerial barrage go up as the Indians attempt to repeat last year's 19-13 win which Joe Gian-netto pulled out of the loss column with a last-minute flip to Charlie Fox. Garbarino, whose 80-yard dash supplied six of North's 13 points in the 13-0 win over Middletown last week, hurt his leg shortly after that, but that has healed now.

If, on the other hand, the six chips favor the wagerer is going with a team that is unbeaten, after its only start, against non-conference Hornell. U-Es attack will be headed by the quarterbacking of Dick Bierly and the running of Doug Bowen, an attack that scored four touchdowns its first time out LINES WILL DECIDE The backfields are so evenly matched, in fact, that comparative performances of the two lines will decide the game. North has looked good up front this something the Red and Blue did not do in losing to South-side and in beating Middletown. Its pair of tackles, Mike Med- ziglan and Dave Hartley, is the biggest in the league and if the guards, Andy Lisick, Harry Van Why and Cince Miceli can play as well as their sidekicks have this week, U-E won't go through North. U-E, which O'Reilly calls much superior to Cobb's '49 team leads North, 6-4.

Tiger chuckled. "That Mr. O'Leary. (John OXeary, manager of Strand Theatre.) No wonder I looked familiar. I just walked by the Strand and he says, 'Haven't I seen you someplace.

And I says to him, 'Sure you seen me. My picture played here just two weeks ago. You know, 'Panic In the We perked up. THATS who Tiger was. Tiger joe Marsh.

We'd seen his picture too. It had Richard Widmark and Paul Douglas In it too. But It was Tiger Joe's picture. He was the boatswain who ot mobbed. "There we were, he recollects, "12 miles off the coast of New Orleans.

And I told those three guys, "Don't take it easy on Ten times. Gadge made 'em do it before be was satisfied." "Gadge" Is Elia Kazan, the fine director who is an old friend of the wrestler's. Got him his first Hollywood job. "I was up in Manitoba and Kazan and Zanuck were having trouble finding a bailiff for Then Gadge" thought of me. Three-fifty was all they offered me, meaning I'd be losing 700 a week.

But I knew if I made good, It'd pay. I got 500 in 'Panic' and when they start shooting 'Zapata, I don't know what Zanuckll pay. I'm an Mexican this time, a character actor." When Tiger arrived in Hollywood Kazan explained the bailiff role to him. "Do you think you can do it?" he asked. "With you directing.

I can play the damn lead," Tiger admitted to his buddy, Elia the Academy Award director. They told Tiger all he had to do was walk in and say, "He isn't out there, your honor" in his best Mississippian. Tiger is actually a Chicagoan named Joseph Samuel Maru-sich but he knew better'n that. "He ain't out there, yer honor," Tiger said. It took 20 takes to make It authentic but once he got it Tiger had made his first picture a success.

His and Jeanne Crain's. Actually movies are old hat to the former Mr. Marusich. who may have been wrestling since he was 16, but has not let it interfere with cultural advancement. Not since he was stage-struck.

That was in Cleveland one night when he wasn't grappling. He grapples about four times a week and has grappled everyone who ever grappled. Londos down to Gorgeous George, via Strangler Lewis, who he considers "the The Angel and Tony Galento. But every time he comes to town, he's billed as a newcomer. "I was billed as a newcomer in Rochester last week," he chuckles, "and just a year ago I wrestled there and wound up in the hoosegow." Well, back to Cleveland.

He wasn't grappling so on of his friends asked him if he'd like to see a play. He'd never seen "I said, 1 don't guess I like it' but when I heard Jean Muir was in it, I went, and it was great. I wired Jack Herman, my matchmaker at the time, 'Cancel everything. I'm going to New York to see some plays. So Tiger Joe Marsh, who got the name because he used to make such vicious faces when he batted that his sandlot buddies called him JoJo the Tiger, went to New York.

Now he's seen them all. Someone In our office asked, "Did you see 'Streetcar (Streetcar Named Desire)." And Tiger exploded: "Did I see Streetcar? Why I turned down a part In the film. I could a been the guy what fights with his wife upstairs. That Marlon Brando, (the lead In the show) great friend of mine, great guy. Joe has also been on 12 network radio and TV shows, of which Grand OI Opry was his favorite.

But the play's the thing wit him. "I know the stuff pretty good" he admits. "I went to New England to summer stock and saw that show 'The King's Maid with Teresa Wright. I said it wouldn't go. Ha.

It folded in Baltimore. It would have taken a theologian to figger it. Tiger Joe isn't a harsh critic, however. He wrestles Lucky Simonovich here Saturday and he's never heard of the guy. "He's a fine wrestler with a great knowledge of the game.

"His replacement may fight just as hard and have as much spirit, but that experience is something you can't replace overnight." Fitch has been second-string center since -the season started and has seen some action in the pivot post. Macan has been playing at the guard slot, but was moved over to center after the injury to Meade. That will be the only change in the lineup as the Wildcats seek to add to their streak of 20 straight games without defeat.
