Just after the fourth period opened the West broke the deadlock with a field goal. John Sylvester, Ktce In stitute end, toed the leather through from the 10-yard line. The successful place kick touched off the eastern powder keg and within the space of a few minutes, during the late part of the content, the war riors from the east raced all over the field, Intercepting two passes and recovering one fumble and converting each "break" Into a touchdown. The flrat score resulted from the recovery by Charlie Waslcek, Colgate tackle, of a fumbto by Bill Lam, Colo rado halfback. A few plnys later, Irwin Intercepted a pnsa.

IN THE HEART MUSTANG OUTFIT TO TUNEOF 7-0 Rushing Invaders' Passers Smears Aerial Circus Grayson Hamstrung by Close Guarding Foes By PAUL ZIMMKRMAN ( Aaeociated Prew Sport Writer.) PASADENA, Cftl., Jan. 3. (P) Stan ford led the west a long way out of the football wilderness today. In a game the Pacific coast hoped would herald the return to high In tersections.! ranking in 1630. Coaoh Claude (Tiny) Thorn hill's eleven came back yesterday ln the Rose Bowl to halter the hitherto untamed Mustangs of Southern Methodist, 7 to 0. The ilg red team came back after two dlatreaslng defeats ln the laat two years of Rose tournament play to vindicate Itself. One determined thrust late ln the first period turned the trick, but ln the long run a valuable lesson on pass defense, learned at a costly price on the Rose Bowl sod a year ago made the lone touchdown stand up. Passers Rushed. It was the fierce rushing of the pass throwers of Coach Matty Bell's famed aerial circus that figured o largely tn the upset which surprised a heavy share of the 85,000 persons who crammed Into historic Rose Bowl Fittingly enough, it was a pass that paved the way for Stanford's touch down. It was a 22-yard throw, BUI Paul man to atooky Jim Coffls, that put the ball lu scoring territory and the Indians took full advantage. from tho 18-yard line, where Coffls was tackled as he grabbed the throw, Bobby Orayson and Bobby Hamilton packd the pigskin to the two-yard stripe and Paulman slid off tackle to score. James (Monk) Moacrlp prompt ly and accurately kicked goal. While Stanford never could quite muster up the strength to cross the Mustangs' goal thenceforth, the In dians quite effectively prevented the champions of the southwest from do ing much about the situation either. S. M- U. Drive Falls. One lapse came In bhe second pe riod and Southern Methodist took full advantage of it. Starting on their own 26, Coach Bell's players, led by the brilliant Bobby Wilson, drove 75 yards only to be disappointed. The crowning feat of this parade was a forward 'Jouble lateral pass play that ate up 34 of these yards and almost became a touchdown play, Wilson, playing up to his all-American name, flipped a 10-yard forward pass to Harry Shu ford. As the Stanford secondary closed ln on Shu ford he tossed a lateral to Maco Stewart. The end ln turn re layed the ball to Bob Plnley, who finally was pulled down on the five yard line. On the next play a fum ble gave the ball to Stanford. Southern Methodist threatened first shortly after the game opened when Wilson took Paul man's first punt and j reversed his field to pack the ball beck 28 yards to the 27. He almost got away to score on this amazing display of broken field running. The Texans. however, could not make good on their chance. The first play lost three yards and then Coffls Intercepted Wilson's Initial psss or the game to stop the advance. Methodists Lose Punch. Southern Methodist never seriously threatened after that, although Shu ford came near Intercepting a Stan ford pass late In the third with an open field ln front of him. Again, early In the fourth, the Mustsngs moved to the Stanford 34, but once more an intercepted pass balked the Invaders. Stanford enjoyed several scoring op port unities in the second half, but the Mustangs had U raj son bottled up most of the afternoon and none of his teammates could do anything about further scoring. Paulman's interception of an aerial sttempt on the S- M. U. 18. midway through the third, me do one of these possible, and Moscrlp tried a place kick from the 25 without success. Another interception, the sixth of the game for Stanford, gave the In diana the ball on the 12-yard line In the last minute ot play, but once i again they were getting nowhere when the final gun barked, bringing ft 1 stream of wild, rioting fans onto the turf.

The surprising thing Is not that the SONS lost, but that they led the great Webfoot team through most of the fir it hair. The Normal school team can be proud of this also: Even though Orpgon wnlloped them lust night It took a hoard or former SONS stars to do It, Howell, Patter son, Courtney, Scott, O. Hughes, XV. Jones, B. Jones and Mcian being former Norma, player. In yesterday's Rose Bowl game, two All-Americans were the focus of the eyes of the world Bobby HOm Grayson, Stan roras great luu bnck. and Bobby Wilson, rabbit legged halfback from Southern Methodist. And both proved that they were really Ail-Americans In the performances they turned in. Wilson easily out- gained Grayson, for Stanford was so busy throwing S. M. U.'s passing attack out of gear that they hadn't the time to stop all of Wilson's sal lies, while the Tcxans had nothing much else to do but stop the power ful Orayaon's running plays. But even bottled up as he was, Grayson did some great work. Two other All-Americans were n the game, Moscrlp, Stanford end, and Spain, 8. M. U. tackle. Spain didn't particularly shine, but Mos crlp did. crashing ln fast on every play to stop those dangerous passes, and tackling high to cut down on the lateral pass threat. Topping. Stanford's other end. proved to the world that If It hadn't been for Moscrlp, he himself would easily have made All-American rating. At times this year his performances surpassed even Moscrlp's, There should be several mo mentous events In the 1836 sporting world. For one thing. It seems certain that Joe I-ouls will he crowned hen vy weight rh n pi on of the world, nlways providing he ran maneuver Jim my Breddock. present champion.

And. as one or tn sports writers have already pungently remarked. some fool allowed Schmellng to witness the slaughter of Ufccudun Louis' hands a short time ago. Uzcudun and Herr Max have had It out several times already, the bouts usually going the full 1& rounds, and with very little advan tage either way. And Schmellng doesn't relish that kind of a thrash ing any more than you or I would.

Two cases In point are Earl Harry (Dutch) Clark of Colorado college, for a small school representative, and the Rocky Mountain conference, as a sample of the too-of ten -Ignored "uusn leagues." Clark, who got his schooling at Colorado college, a small endowed school of 500 students located In the mountain resort city of Colorado Springs, has Just completed another banner year as quarterback of ',he professional champion Detroit Lions. Not only has Clsrk been named all America quarterback among the pros, but be has been recognized generally as the greatest all-around player ln the Nation si league.

Many observers wondered at Sports Editor Alan Gould's choice, asking, "Who's Clsrk?" and "Where's Colorado college?" Howard Harps ter of Carnegie Tech wss the more popu lar choice for all-America quarter back that year.

CHRYSLER IRKED ECONOMIC UPTURN RECORDED HERE DURING 1935 (Continued from page One.) ed the substantial advance that was made ln 1935. There was a general expansion ln business, though In some lines prices were slow ln keeping psce with the result thst while volume was higher profits were held to a narrow margin. The Improvement was reflected ln the business of Medford banks. At the local branch of the First National Bank of Portland about 1,000 new savings accounts were opened during 1935 and deposits increased about 30 percent, officials stated. Rental of safety deposit boxes, which officials said was an ' excellent Indicator of conditions, Increased more thsn ten percent. Loans under the federal housing act ran well Into the hun dreds and bank debits, which Indicate business activity or turnover, showed an Increase of about 30 percent over the f934 record. ' Refinancing of Irrigation districts was looked upon as an outstanding 1935 feature which would greatly help the economlo progress of southern Oregon this year. Optimism Is Evident An Increase in deposits of 80 per cent and In loans of 60 percent was reduced during 1935 by the Medford branch of the United States National Bank of Portland. The volume of transactions, officials said, showed i sharp Increase over that of the pre vlous year. In December, 1934, we looked for ward to 1935 as promising better con ditions," commented George T. Prey, bank manager. "Now we find our pre dictions have come true. 'Naturally we are looking ahead to 1936 for still more noticeable im provements ln business ln general. There is an abundance of credit avail able throughout the country and It la my observation that Industry and business men In Oregon, especially southern Oregon, are showing an en couraglng optimism." The Farmers & Fruitgrowers bank recorded an Increase of 33 percent in deposits during 1935 over 1934, increase of 23 percent In loans and of 35 percent ln Investments, that Is, in the United States government bonds and warrants account. It was stated by Fred E. Wahl. cashier. Fo"resees Continued rpswlng "We are well pleased with the show ing made since 1933." said Mr. Wahl. "Naturally we anticipate continued improvement this year and are look ing for a very substantial gain ln de posits because conditions are so much better now than at this time a year ago. On the foundation laid In 1935 we shal1 continue to build In 1936. "The natural trend Is upward. Peo ple are ln the buying mood and the more they buy the more turnover there will be In local capital. Now Is the time for merchants to build up their inventories because prices of goods will not be any cheaper. Mer chants should stock quality merchan dise because the public Is now doing quality buying. We sntlclpate profit able business over the next three years and merchants who do not take advantage of conditions will not move forward with the times." Hazel B Stoner. assistant cashier 8f the First State Bank of Eagle Point, reported an Increase of about 20 per cent in general banking business dur ing 1935. "The turkey market was outstand ingly good this year and that helped materially," she stated. "Other lines showed betterment too. We are for tunate In Eagle Point in having a di versification of interests and all were better off in 1935 than in 1934. There was no doubt about the Improvement. It was reflected at the bank ln more accounts and larger accounts." Beat Year Since 1930 The Pacific Telephone &: Telegraph : company showed 3526 listings on De cember 1. an Increase of 217. or 7.17 percent, for the first n months of 1935. This was the largest gain since 1930, it was said by R. B. Hammond. company manager. While prices still left something to be desired, the pear Industry headed toward stability ln 1935 and the large crop represented the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars lor Mrtwwv " Tnwr " a. 38 NORTH RIVERSIDE labor, materials and hauling charges, most of this money remaining in the Rogue river valley. Shipments of pears and apples were estimated by packers to be the largest since 1930. To the end of the year 1,351 cars of boxed and 016 cars of eann.ry pears had been shipped with about 800 can of packed pears still held hen la storage. One hundred eighty-two cars of apples were shipped to the end of 1935. Large Expenditures Boxed pears and apples In 1935 In volved an outlay of $240,000 to $250, 000 for packing house labor, ISO, 000 to $90,000 for picking labor and $80,000 to $90,000 for hauling costs, packers estimated, making a total of $400,000 to $430,000 for those throe Items. In addition to those expenditures, from $190,000 to $200,000 was spent for new crates, made ln Medford; $5,000 to $10,000 for replacement lugs; $65,000 to 75.000 for paper; $65,000 to $75,000 for pads and liners, besides a large outlay for nails, labels, psste, acid, water bracing, strips and elec tric power. It was estimated. In addition to boxed fruit more than 11,000 tons of Bartletts were de livered to canneries at an expendi ture estimated at $40,000 to $50,000 for picking and hauling charges, be sides another large outlay for sup piles. To handle the large crop the South ern Pacific railroad put on extra clerical and labor forces. The Med ford Ice & Storage company figures prominently ln the valley fruit In dustry, having a $500,000 plant with a storage capacity of 330,000 boxes. It pays out about $1,000 a month for electric current alone. Expansion Noted The turkey Industry continued Its remarkable expansion during the past year. 1935 reaching a new peak, ac cording to County Agent R. G. Fow ler who predicted that 1936 would easily set a still higher record. About 35.000 turkeys were market ed in 1935. Mr. Fowler stated, bring ing $175,000 to the growers. Approxi mately 10,000 birds are still being held for marketing during the next few months, he related, estimating that the entire 1935 crop would net the farmers about $200,000. The tomato Industry also took a dectded upward trend In 1935 when tt was discovered that the Rogue vslley could produce a big, red, luscious tomato possessing qualities not ob tainable elsewhere. The importance of this crop was indicated when the Bagley Canning company of Ashland finished the season with an output of 1.431.666 cans of Rogue tomatoes, the largest tomato pack of any can nery of the northwest. Under encouragement of the Jack son County Chamber of Commerce farmers planted a larger crop of sweet Spanish onions ln 1935 than ever be fore. About 150.000 sacks of 100 pounds each were raised and market ed as aealnst 30,000 sacks for 1934. A good price was obtained, the crop netting the growers about $200,000, the chamber of commerce calculated. More potatoes also were raised lu the valley in 1935 than ever before and the entire crop of 46.000 sacks sold at an average price of $2, brinp ing the producers a total of about $92,000. Experiment Station Helps A substantial aggregate sum of money was also realized from walnut, peaches, apricots, melons, grapes, vegetables and other agricultural pro ducts. Much of the credit for the good showing msde by agriculture goes to Prof p. C. Relmer and the southern Oregon experimental station where many notable accomplishments in blight control were registered. Tourists also brought a substantial amount of money to this section dur ing 1S35. A. H. Ban well, manager of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, asserted that the tourist trade was worth well over a million dollars to Medford. He predicted that with several new associations organ ized during the past yesr to publicise Oregon the tourist traffic would be considerably heavier in 1936 than in 193S, Biwness at the postofflce also showed a pick-up in the psst yenr.
