I I 3?2lGE FOUR BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFOKD. OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1933. Tigers Trample FAST PASS SMITH Medford Comes From Be ; hind In Last Quarter- Defeat Bitter To Pelicans Playing In near-zero weather on a ellppery, muddy field, the Medford nigh Tigera yesterday came from be hind at Klamath Falls and, with five mJnutea to go, started an 80-yard march that ended with a touchdown and a win, 19-14. in one of the great eat exhibitions of a fighting recovery ever turned in by a Medford team, before a crowd of less than a thou sand people. Medford scored on the ft rat play of the game when, after talcing the klcnoff on the 11-yard line, the Tl gera smashed into the Klamath line - and Xrfwis, carrying the ball, cut back over guard and raced 89 yards be hind perfect Interierenee. Klamath came back fast and. with the best team they have presented In a Medford game in years, unched over a touchdown on line plays after a bad exchange of punta had given them the ball on the 30. They con- Terted on a pass. Immediately after the start of the second quarter the Tigers carried the ball to the three-yard line, wnen penalty moved them back to the seven, fourth down ana goal 10 go. a play starting at end developed Into pass, with Smith chucking a south paw heave to Hinman to score. Smith rammed over the extra point on a buck, charging hard enough to jar Table Rock, With a seemingly safe margin, the Medford offense slipped and slid and akldded through the rest of the quar ter, and also through the third quar ter without making a talley. Late In the last frame Klamath mustered a last apaamodlo effort and carried the hog hide straight down the field on power bucks to the three-yard Una, from where It waa run over after three attempts. The conversion waa passed over to put Klamath In tho lead for the second time In the game. With five minutes to go, tho Tigers started their last drive and, during the dying minutes of the game, pulled verythlng in the book. On the gummy field the faat Medford attack failed to get going for sustained marches, but on that last drive every thing worked and they clawed their way straight dovn the field. The winning pass was close. But the Medford squad, after watching the Pelican defense all afternoon, obvi ously knew what they were doing, and a fast pass from Smith to Kunaman In the corner caught Roger, Klam ath half, napping, and the brilliant Medford end waa dropped only after the ball had been shoved over the line by six Inches. A howl of Indignation against the referee's decision resulted, and after the game a group of about 30 Klam ath high students, tear streaming from their eyea, awaited the referee outside the dressing room armed, with rocks and Icicles to avenge what they considered an insult, but no violence resulted. Medford outgained. out passed and outfought the heavier Klamath ag gregation, but their smothly timed plays, worked to split-second accu racy, were thrown out of gear by the mlsearble field and the freezing weather which kept the fans at home, huddled about their fires. Bob Smith, half; Ray Lewis, quar ter; Erickson, guard; Baker, guard, and Kuncman turned In the best per formances of the day, with Smith playing football that would turn the average college coach green with envy. On every play he was one of those to be on the bottom of the pile and, try as they might, the Klamath team couldn't escape his slashing tackles. IS It was a line play. Smith smashed Into the play at the line of scrim mage, and if It was a pass, he was there to knock It down. His abil ity to be everywhere at once wan un canny, as he turned In the bent game of his already rrmarkablo career. At one point during the frame he kicked off, raced down the Held and made the tackle, and all oftcrnoon ha fired the Medford defense. "The greatest defensive high school player 1 ever saw in my life." was the way one of the Klamath conches summed up Smith's performance Lewis, on hla spinning dervish-like slants Into the line and off-tack lo waa easily the outstanding offensive threat along with Smith, sticking to his interference ar, though glued, and then breaking Into the open for long sallies. To his clear-headed calling of signals from tho hnMbark post goes much of the credit for the win. Little Bakrr, the smallest man on the squad, was in the Klamath back field continually, regardless of how many men they put on him. and Santo and Blair, when they could find footing on the gooey field, were outstanding. The only Injury for the locals hap pened when PTalpy. playing a hrada up it a me at right end. went out In the last quarter with one broken rib and four cracked onw, which will keep him out of uniform for at least veveral weeks. Blair's old side in Jury was aggravated. Shortly before the game started the entire Medford squad were equipped with woolen underewnr, and earn man was given a pair of clnth gloves The big bus which took the squad to Klamath waa backed onto the field and the motor kept running throughout the game so that th players could keep from freezing to 10 KMAN IS VICTORY MARGIN ontn wnue not in action.

Eighty-five thousand fan saw th game. California scored touchdowns In the second and fourth quarters to surpass two points gained by U. C. L. A. on a California aafety In the initial quar ter. By token of th victory, th Bears stood at the head of the Pacific con ference and took the inside track for the western bid for the Ross Bowl In Pasadena on New Year' day. California successfully oottled up Chuck Cheshire, U. C. L. A.'s stellar halfback. Although Cheshire spurted for short gains throughout and made brilliant returns of punts, he could not get away. U. C. L. A. hopes ran high in the first quarter when Don Fowler, small California quarterback, stood on his own goal and tried to handle a fiO yard punt from Fred Funk, Bruin right half. Sherman Chavoor, U. C. L. A. center. Joined with quarterback Bill Murphy to toss Fowler back of th goal and gain two points for their team.

The Bea-.s' other touchdown wis a contribution from Floyd Blower, vet eran quarterback, and Jack Brlttlng ham, right end. California got the ball on U. C. L.

A. fullback, no doubt handicapped his mates. Dean Esrl Miller of U. 0. L. A. explained that the aueatlon of Key's Identity and eligibility had com up for discus sion two years straight. U. O. L. A. decided Just before game lime not to nlav Key and possibly endanger relatione between the two state uni versities. Key comes from Texas ana it has been rumored he played col leglat football there.

The O. fl. C. subs were leading 6 to 3 after five minutes of the aeoond half but Coach Lon Stelncr did not deem the margin sufficiently aafe. Late in the third quarter, the Beav ers' star half back, Joe Gray, and a half dozen other first-string per formers were sent in to put the game on Ice. Gray ran back a punt 80 yards for a touchdown soon after entering the game and engineered another drive which resulted In the final tally.

On third down, sharpshooter Pllney whipped one to Mike Layden who caught the ball as ha Jumped across tha goal line. This brought the acore to 12- to-13, and you could almost hear the heartbeats of the unbellevin spectators as Fromhart dropped back to try for the tying point. Hif placeklck failed and the Ohio Stat thousands roared. A stouter team that Notre Dame would have- folded completely st this point, but with only two min utes to play, and with the odds 1.000 to one against another and winning score, they atartrd the drive which won the game. Notre Dame's victory waa made all- the more amusing by the man ner in which Ohio State dominated the play in the first half. The game was but five minutes old when Rank Antenucel intercepted Lay den's pass and flipped a lateral to Frank Boucher, who, taking the ball on his 35-yard line, raced 65 yards down the side lines to score.
