Medford kicked out and Ransom brought it back to the Peerpicker 33. A series of off -tackle smashes by Ransom and up-the-middle plunges by Owen Garland brought the VOcs to the Medford 2 yard line from where Ransom went wide to. his right, cut back' over tackle and scored.

The block was so hard that Slater was carried from the field. He gained consciousness ten minutes later and re-entered the game. ; Viks Drive Ag-Jn Salem had one more drive left in her system late in the game and motivated it after Gordy Mc Morris intercepted a pass on Med ford's 22. Garland, McMorris and Bob Warren took turns at the Tornado line, and then a six-yard plunge by Louie Hough brought the oval to Medford's three. Gar land crashed over with one min ute left to play. He missed with a conversion try. The Pearpickers dominated the statistics, piling up a total of 304 yards and 13 first downs to Sa lem's 115V4 and 10 respectively.

Official statistics compiled this week, find Baugh first-in numbeiM of completions (108) and In per centage of completions (.584). Is bell also completed 19 passes while the Packers were losing to the Bears, but his percentage slipped when he needed 37 at tempts to keep pace with the consistent Redskin. Isbell More Productive Isbell continues to be the most productive, -however. He passed to Don Hutson for the Packers' only score, bringing, to 20 the number of games in which he has thrown one or more touch down passes. It was his 17th in eighth games, against 13 for Baugh. Ray McLean, the tiniest of the Bears, moved into second, place behind Hutson in the scoring ta ble, going over for two touch - downs, against the Packers -to bring, his . total for the season to 7.

Pep weighed 125 H; Wright 125. j ; Scoring the 54th straight tri umph in his unbeaten run as a fighter, Pep piled up a big early lead with the use of j a left jab that appeared to have a perma nent parking place in Chalky's face, and then galloped out of harm's way as the aging Califor nia negro chased him 'around the ring all the way down the stretch. Action Not Fast ! ' In spite of roars of approval from, the big New England dele gation on hand to cheer Willie on, the fight was a slow battle most of the way.

Huskies Given To Bust UGLA Bowl Bubble Lois ANGELES, Nov. 20 (P) Coach Pest Welch drove the University .of Washington Huskies through a brisk drill Friday, preparatory to their clash Saturday with the UCLA Bruins. It was the first outdoor workout for Washington since last Monday, when inclement weather halted them until they 'boarded a train. Welch said his team was in fair physical condition with the exception of Walt Harrison, star center. Harrison received an ankle injury In last week's game with St. Mary's Navy Pre-Dights, but will start against the Bruins. UKes Mast Wla . : .'::.:'".' ; UCLA must get by the Wash ington hurdle to stay in the race for the Pacific coast conference title. The Bruins appeared to be the standout team , of the coast until they ' stubbed their toes in Eugene, Ore., two weeks ago and ; Oregon beat them, 14 to 7. If they have regained their earlier form they should take Washington, al though the Huskies showed a lot in holding the Pre-fllghts to a tie, outplaying them most of the way. Haskles Maeh Heavier , Washington, will field a line av eraging 209 pounds, outweighing the UCLANS 14 pounds to the man, but Don Deck's' 243 pounds at right tackle accounts for much of the marked disparity. 4 i .The Huskies may put the high ly effective Bruin passing game to stern test.-' :" .

Call It a coincidence or what-' ever you like, but that "77" comes in for more consideration, as that is the number worn by "Terrible Tommy" Roblin, great Oregon fullback who could easily be the shining light of today's meeting and the difference between a win ' or loss for the Webfoots.
