Game Ends Tiger Season
By DlrK Apiilfisat
"What happened?" wm the stun
ned inquiry from Medlord football
tuns yesterday when reports were
llled from Eugene that the onee
powerful Black Tornado had (jone
down under an avalanche of t-ucn-towns
44-0 before the Eugene high
school, for the most lop-sided wore
ever run up against a. Medlord team.
The answer Is that practically
everything that could, did happen.
The Tigers took turns In fumbling
nine times, with Eugene recovering
live of the bobbles In dangerous
territory. Three Tiger punts were
blocked, two of toe blocks paving the
way for easy scoring marches. Two
Medford starters. Lewis snd Eaihart,
were lost early In the game because
of Injuries.
Axmen Smooth Machine
But, the main part of the story wss
that Medford was outclsssed ay . a
heavier, older team. The Axmen
threw sweeping, crushing Interference
at the light Medford squad that was
almost Impossible to stop, snd
marched through their complicated
plays with an almost faultless pre
cision that would have done credit
to a college team.
Those familiar with the University
City football situation said after the
game that the Axmen outweigh the
University of Orogon varsity man-lor-man,
with a backfleld that shsdes
Prink Celllson'a ball packers stvqu
pounds to the man. Aside from the
bad fumbling the Tigers played good
football, but outweighed nearly 30
bounds on the nine. Bayliss kicked
to stave off the persistent rushing.
The first Eugene tally cams early
In the first quarter. They took the
ball on their own 80 from the kick
off, and on the next play a, double
reverse sent Caven, right halt, into
the open around left end behind
hearing Interference and he had gal
loped to the Medford 80 before wing
spilled by Lewis, Medford safety. The
Tigers held there and Eugene was
forced to kick, the ball going out of
bounds on the nine. Bayloss kicked
: out to the 40, and then a bombard
ment of reverses And tackle slants
carried the ball oven from there In
five plays.
Tlfior Punt Blocked
Shortly after the next klckoff Bay
lies attempted a punt from his own
24. An Axmen lineman blocked the
kick, snd the two scrsmbled for It,
Hasg. Eugene guard, falling on It on
the five yard line. Four plays fa. led
to punch it over as the Tigers stif
fened and held.
The Medford attack time after time
apparently started to click on1; to
have promising drives end with fum
bles. At the start of the second hslf
the locals seemed to have solved the
running attack of the northerners,
and their own offense went Into high
gear as they drove to the Axmen 10
yard line only to lose the ball on
downs after two unsuccessful passes
over the goal line.
That the Medford team waj not
entirely impotent la shown by the
fact that they made seven first dwns
In the last half after only making one
In the first two quarters, while
Eugene made 11 first downa In the
game. Many Eugene drives culminat
ed In touchdowns, keeping their first
down total low.
Medford attempted nine pusses,
completed five, and had two inter
cepted. Eugene attempted 11 passes,
completed four, end hsd none inter
cepted. Ettluger In Oreat Try
The highlight of the game, as far
as Medford was concerned, came In
tbe third period, when Caven kicked
from his own 49, Ettinger, playing
saftey after Lewis left the game with
a bad ankle, taking It on the fly on
hit own 19. Ettinger had been loving
hack near the goal line and when he
aaw that the ball was s high one he
shot forward like a bullet to take It
in his atrlde.
Without missing a step he gsth
erert lu the punt and flashed down
the side lino within a foot of the
field boundary. 8o Urrlllcslly fast
was he going that he went to the
Ewne 28 yard line belore the atety
man tipped him over the line, with
out another of the Ei:ene men able
to lay a finder on the flying little
halfback. The effort bcysed down on
the 15 with Incomplete paiw-a, how.
ever.
Season rinses

for tbe Tigers, who stArted the season
with Impressive victories over Eureka.

Washingtonians Gain First
Championship in 11 Years
Alabama Expected to
Be Pasadena Choice
By FRANK GORRIE
SEATTLE, Nov. 27. ;p The Uni
versity of Washington Huskies were
well-armed snd ready today to take
over the big New Year's day Rose
Bowl assignment after riddling Wash
ington State college with, six touch
downs for a 4Q to 0 triumph In their
Thanksgiving Day battle.
The victory, the most lopsided
scored by any team in Pacific Coast
conference competition this year, gavo
Washington the championship for the
first time in 11 years, and the right
to play In the Pasadena classic.
By snuffing out the challenge of
the staters In convincing fashion, -the
Huskies closed their conference sea
son with sn undefeated record six
wins, and a tie with Stanford. Out
side of league play, they trimmed the
University of Idaho, and lost by a
touchdown to Minnesota, the highest
ranking team In the country.
, Probably Alabama. .
After conference officials formally
present Washington with the Rose
Bowl award, as is expected, it will
face tbe knotty problem of selecting
sn eastern or southern opponent.
Some say It will be Alabama, others
predict Louisiana State, and still
others say Pittsburgh. Washington
officials say nothing.
Alabama, closing Its season yester
day with a 13 to 6 victory over Van
derbllt, loomed stronger than ever as
the lesdlng candidate of the east and
south.- The only blot on AJamaba's
record of nine games Is a scoreless
tie with Tennessee.
The last time Washlntgon repre
sented the Pacific coast. In the Rose
Bowl was against the "Bama' boys
In 1620. And the Huskies have been
smarting from the 20 to 19 defeat
ever since.
Washlntgon State, the only team
that bad a chance to tie Washington
for the championship, wilted under
tbe crushing power plays of the Hus
kies. The Cougars gained only 28
yards on rushes compared with 305
for Washington, and they never were
able to cross the lV)-yard stripe,

TWO BIG GAMES LEFT III
DIZZY FOOTBALL SEASON
NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (AP) The Football Follies of 1936, one of the
dizziest gridiron comedies In "the book, headed to Ita big finale scenes to
daythe Army-Navy classic Saturday, and the Rose Bowl battle, with
Washington probably taking on Alabama, on New Year's Day.
The Thanksgiving Day renewal of . '
gridiron tradition followed the sea
son's form for surprises, and left
the Huskies with the Pacific coast
conference crown and the western
ticket to the Rose Bowl. Alabama Is
the most likely to make up the other
hslf of tbe Pacadena program, and
leave the experts with another series
of headaches.
New York university's Sweet Violets
knocked over Fordham's mighty
Rams, Texas surprised the Texas Ag
gies 7-0, Penn had an unlooked for
tough time before beating Cornell,
and the military began marching on
Philadelphia.

Alabama put on a strong rally in
the second half to down Vanderbllt's
stubborn Commodores, 14-8, with Joe
Riley's pass heaving featured.
In a season that has featured the
woozlest variety of upsets, perhaps
none wss more unexpected than the
7-6 decision New York U. pulled out
over the strongest Ford ham team In
years. Undefeated and tied twice, the
Rama went Into the battle as 4-1
shots over a team that had yet to
score a major victory.
Pennsylvania had an uphill climb
before overpowering Cornell's Sopho
mores 14-6, and Colgate's Red Raiders
ran wild against Brown, 32-0, in other
eastern features.
Down south, Tennessee stopped
Kentucky, 7-6, with a' third period
tally; North Carolina steam rollered
Virginia, 59-14; Furman furnished a
surprise In shutting out Olemenson,
12-0; Davidson downed Wake Forest,
19-6; Maryland hod too much for
W. and L.. winning 10-6; and Virginia
Poly scored early to beat Virginia
Military, 6-0.
The midwest slate was headlined
by Missouri's 19-3 win over Kansas
to take second place behind Nebraska
In the Big Six race; Detroit's 8-0
edge over Crelghton, and the 21-6
beating St. Louis handed Its local
