MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREOON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1937. Conference Title and Rose Bowl Bid Hang on Palo Alto Struggle PAGE TEN COAST LIMELIGHT California. Three to One Favorite Washington ' Favored Over Oregon 0. S. C. Picked , to Win SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19. Traditional rival of far weatrn foot ball, California's Golden Bears and the Stanford Indiana, wlU fight It out to morrow for the Pactflo Coast conference championship and an In vltatlon to the New Year's Day Rose Bowl classic. Though rainy weather was In pros pect, a sellout, crowd of 89,000 was expected for the outstanding game In the west. Other conference con tests will pit Oregon against Wash ington at Seattle and Washington State against Oregon State at Cor vallls. In an Interactional game at Los Angeles, the Bruins of U.C.L.A. will meet the Southern Methodist Mus tanks from Dallas, Tex., and a battle of passing was expected. S.M.U. was the favorite. University of Montana's Grizzlies, strongest In yesrs, were expected to keep their record unblemished In a game with University of Idaho at Moscow. It's Real "Big Game. The 43rd annual contest at Palo Alto will be a "big game' In fact as well as tradition. A California vic tory or a tie would gain the title for the Bears; a Stanford win would leave the teams tied for the cham pionship, with the Rose Bowl repre sentative to be chosen by a ballot of conference members. California, undefeated but tied by Washington, was a 3 to 1 favorite. Stanford lost to Oregon and tied Ore gon State. Stanford partisans reason that the Indians are on the upswing and might reach their peak against the Bears, while California has been at top performance all season and might have a letdown against the Indians. Both In Form. The Bears were considered unstop pable before Washington held them to a scoreless draw, but In their 26 to 0 victory over Oregon last Sat urday they were back In powerhouse form. Stanford also showed surpris ing power last Saturday In rolling over Washington State, 33 to 0, At Seattle, Washington's Huskies, who hammered down University of California at Los Angeles, 36 to 0. last Saturday, were favored over Uni versity of Oregon, which took a shel-1 jacaing oy tno same count irom Cali fornia. Oregon State, In third plaoe In conference standings, was given an edge over thrice-beaten Washington State at CorvaUts. E Bobby Et linger, great little climax runner of Medford high's Black Tor nado, has been choeum by members of the undefeated and untied Bend high team as one of the best bucks they played against thts season, ac cording to news reports from the east ern Oregon city. Ettlnger was the lone Tiger player named on the Lava Bears' all-opponent team. One other Southern Ore gon conference performerKin math Palls' Harding, center waa selected by the Bend tenm.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says: Pickem Records Final Guesses of Football Season With today's masterful prognosti cations of the week-end's football en counters, both near and far, I. Pickem passes out of the picture for another year. Ho may also pass . J out of his mind i along about 0:30 p. m. tomorrow, although there Is one school of thought In Med ford that believes Mr. Pickem has been out of his mind all season, therefore making It Impassible for htm to pass out again. To get down to serious business, Mllr flute Pickem has spent extensive research work on tomorrow's gridiron grum bles and has decided that, be re use of the "mud pie" condition that will probably affect numerous fields of battle, upsets will be the order ofthe day. Favored teams will find themselves glued to the ground while the underdogs will only have to get In there and hold tight for a score less tie, or something. For the last time this yeer. Pickem crosses his fingers, and his bridge before he gete to It, and lets loose with the following: Mrilfnrd-Orants Paw. MMford's Tornado should blow to the snt Wnctloii of everyone tonight at (.rants Pass, but a sloppy field may slow thing up somewhat. Anyway, It's fhe nowermnnltes to cop the conference crown by a score of 12-0. Stanford-California. Whoops, my deah, what an upset this could be. Pickem can hardly resist the tempta tion to call an Indian victory, but the Golden Beers seem to have too much on the ball. It'll either be a Csl win by two touchdowns or a Stanford conquest by one point. Pickem picks the former occurrence. Oregon-Washington. Poor Prink CaJllson. The Huskies are rolling as of yore, which means a 13-0 Wash ington victory, much as It hurts Pickem to "predict." Oregon State- Washington State. Joe Gray should pass the Beavers to a narrow win over the Cougars. Say, fl-0. Idaho-Montana. It's too bad Mon tana's Grizzlies aren't in the coast conference this season. A guy named Popovtch will "pop" the Vandals of Idsho by two touchdowns to none. UCLA - Southern Methodist, Al though those Mustangs from Texas ore no longer riding high, wide and handsome, they'll have enough through the sir to whip the Bruin. 13-7. Baylor-Loyola. Los Angeles gets a glimpse of what a top-ranking South west conference ball club looks like. BUly Patterson will bewilder the Lions with his shsrp forward passing to give Baylor a 30-0 win.

Pittsburgh 20, Penn State 0. 7-0, IN LAST MINUTES BY E A 68-yard power drive climaxed by Quarterback Don James' smash over the goal line from one yard out gave Coach George Harrington's Med ford Junior high football team a 7-0 victory over the Grants Pass Juniors yesterday afternoon at Van Scoyoc field.

P. STRUGGLE FOR LOOP CROWN Victory Tonight Will Give Locals Title Loss Will Throw Honor to Klamath Teams in Top Form Lineup. Grant pass Welch ' Pro volt Ma sale Rey notes , Conner Norton n Mooere Beck Anderson Madden Mud, that great leveler of football teams, will greet Medford high school's favored Black Tornedo to night as they move against the Grants Pass Cavemen at Grants Pass In the final and championship game of the 1937 Southern Oregon con ference race. The battle will start at 8 o'clock sharp. "The field was like an over-satu rated sponge, and the grldders skid ded around on the surface like an automobile after a blowout." Such Is a newspaper description of the playing field on which Coach Loren Tuttle'a Cavemen held their last workout yesterday afternoon, a dirt field that will undoubtedly be ankle-deep with the slimy ooze as the Tigers and Cavemen throw thlr Sunday punches in the conference finale. although long since eliminated from championship consideration. Grants Pass holds the key to this year's .title team. If they can knock off Medford. the crown will rest on the collective heads of the Klamath Falls Pelicans, undefeated by tied twice. If they can tie the Tigers, then Klamath and Medford will be forced to share the championship. A victory for Coach Bill Bowerman's aggregation will return the pennant to Medford after a one year's ab sence. In case the Grants Pass field Is muddy, and there seems to be no hope that It will be otherwise, the Cavemen will have a tremendous ad vantage over Medford's highly-geared machine. Relying on the straight ahead power with very little decep tion. Tuttle's team will be little han dicapped by the wet and greasy pig skin. On the other hand, the Tor nado's brilliant offense Is built around lightning-fast ball handling In the backfleld, split-second timing, and a certain amount of razzle-dazzle. A slippery football and uncertain foot ing will check the Tiger attack. Regardless of playing conditions. Medford will enter the game heavy favorites to defeat a Grants Pass team that has won only two games all year, a 13-0 conquest of Yreka and a 13-7 non -conference victory over Ashland. The Cavemen have lost to Klamath Palls, North Bend. Ashland and Eureka, and have been tied by Roseburg. Both teams are reported In excel lent condition for the encounter. For the first time this year, Grants ! Pass will present a vsrsity outfit free j of Injury. Medford, with the excep- ! tlon of Hubert Santo, tackle. Is also In top shape for the championship , bid. Coach Bowerman has eased off In dally practice since the Ashland game with an eye to conserving the Tigers' man-power, and reports his ball club ready to fire, mud or no mud. j The Black Tornado, about thirty- five strong, will leave Medford at 6:30 thts afternoon. Hundreds of lo cal fans are expected to attend the game.

(AP) The University of Washington wa charged today with "star buying" for Its football team by California's an nual muck-raking "New Razz berry Press." The pink "newspaper." published for distribution today before the big game between University of California and Stanford, is an off-camput suc cessor to the old "Razz berry press' banned by the university for Its In discretions. The new, secretly printed paper, has no connection with the university. "At the pre&ent time." It asserted, "Cal is getting the short end of the conference deal because she obeys the Bowling Ball Backfires to Bang Player's Right Optic CHICAGO, Nov. 19 (AP) John Hlckey Inserted a swollen thumb and two fingers into a 16-pound bowling ball, threw a calculating glance at the distant ten pins, took three or four quick steps and let fly. The ball didn't get away from the swollen thumb. It described ' a wide arc and thudded against Hlckey's right eye. That ended his bowling for the evening but more excitement waa in store. His fellow teammates separated the unconscious Hlckey from the ball, GETS OUT OF HAND BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 19. (AP) Berkeley streets surrounding the University of California campus were littered with debris today after a night of what police described as "vandalism" by persons celebrating the big game between California and Stanford Saturday at Palo Alto. Police said 25 persons were ar rested: only eight of them were uni versity students. The police asserted their offenses Included turning in false fire alarms, and egg and apple throwing. An electric sign of a thea ter was damaged by a barrage of apples. Six officers were pushed aside as celebrants rushed a theater and pushed an automobile Into the lobby. Tires on automobiles were deflated and the machines pushed on car tracks. Street cars were rerouted around the campus district. YALE NEEDS VICTORY TO KEEP TRADITION NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Nov. 19. JP) Anything but a victory against Harvard Saturday would give Yale football prestige a large black eye. But If John Harvard should not only upset the dope-bucked, but hold the Ells scoreless In doing It, the dose would be doubly hard to take for the big boys blue, since It would end Yale's amazing 34 -f?nme scoring streak.

The size of the bill hurt worse than the wound and Hlckey yelled proportionately. The arrival of three squads of police In response to a call from a frightened nurse had a calming In fluence on everyone. Hlckey collected 10 from his friends and paid the bill. v Today Hlckey listed bowling among the more dangerous sports. SIX CREMATED IN 1- PORT COLUNb. Colo., Nov. 19.
