Llebowltz, Ward Howell, "Pat" Pat

"Chief" McLean. Willie Jones. Bud
Jonea and John Lewis. With the ex

these stars have at one time or an

night, the SONS were dogged by poor
luck on both field and crippio anoia,

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

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.
Victory hungry after defeats by Co
lumbia and Alabama In the 1sjc two
Roee Bowl games, the Stanford root- I
era tore down the goal posts and
splintered them Into souvenirs, I
The triumph put the west out In
front by two game over the 21 years
of play, with nine victories against f
seven defeat, discounting ths two I
service games of the world war period, j

Confronted last nlpht by the im
presstva array of manpower which
has made the University of Oregon
one of the most dangerous threats
in the coast conference, the SONS
of Ashland mode a remarkable dis
play of gam en pa , only to lose 63-27.
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.
Into a ring, a thing that Isn't
nearly as eay as It sounds.
For one thing, he Is supposed to
meet Max Schmellng before he is
entitled to a champlonnlp shot.
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.
Another momentous sports ac
complishment that will come, at
leant partly, in the new year la
that sport writers from one end
of the country to the other will
lenin to spell (iarmlsch-Parten-klrchen,
the scene In Germany

the hinterland get a chance to make
good on their own and make the all
star pickers sorry they were too tlmtd
to get off the beaten path ln making
tnetr selections.
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.
Proved As Pro
The Associated Press named him nil
America collegiate quarterback ln
J&28. 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.
But Dutch, after a season as back
field coach for his alma mater, Joined
the Portsmouth Spartans, where ln
his second year he was rated all
America pro quarterback. Then he
coached a season at the Colorado
School of Mines before rejoining his
pro coach, Potsy Clark no relation
to become the pro league's hottest
player with the Detroit Lions, suc
cessors to the Portsmouth Spartans.
In (he 1035 season Clark was the
National league's leading scorerrand
was among the leaders In forward
passing, ground gaining and drop
kicking. No longer do skeptics Inquire
"Who's Clark?" He's proved his merit :
ln the fastest competition known to !
football. Ask the New York Giants,
who watched him tear off one 40-yard
broken field run for a touchdown ln
the championship playoff game, which
Detroit won, 26-7.
" Mountaineers" Make Good
Clark's home conference, the Rocky
Mountain, oddly enough, provided
seme of the finest help he has re
ceived at Detroit.

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

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,

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.

amount of money to this section dur
ing 1S35. A. H. Ban well, manager of
the Jackson County Chamber of
