the goal dash for the completion of
a 73-yard play.
The bewildered Trojans found
themselves backed soon after on their
own 18 as "General" Washington
continued his mound work, but the
threat ended when a fourth down
pass flew Into the dust Incomplete.
From the start, Troy's great quar
terback, Grenvllle Lansdell, his block
ing mate, big Bob Hoffman, and Full
back Bill Sangster, ran the Bruins
ragged.
Howard Jones' sturdy front line,
well-stocked with good reserves, never
permitted the Bruins to reach scor
ing territory. Once and only once,
did the Bruins get as far as the 30
and there after a Trojan fumble.

"Haven't Made Up Mind"
Says Mentor Webfeet
Lose Early Lead To
Arizona.
TUCSON, Ariz.. Dee. 4. CAP)
Coach Prince CHltson of the Univer
sity of Oregon said tonight he hsd
not "made up my mind' as to
whether he would resign as mentor
of the Webfeet football squid.
Callison. whose team lost 20 to 6
todsy to Vr University of Arizona,
denied reports current In Portland
quoting him as saying he would quit
If the webfeet lost the final game of
the season. '
"I didn't say I would quit If we
lost today, and I didn't say 1 would
n't quit." he commented. "I haven't
up my mind."
TUCSON. Ariz.. Deo. 4. (AP)
Striking with brilliant scoring thrusts
In the second and third periods, the
University of Arizona Wildcats over
powered the Oregon Webfeet. 30 to 6.
to close the season for both teams
before 9.500 spectators here today.
Oregon Jumped Into an early lead
on a spectacular 90-yard touchdown
dash by Halfback Gerald Graybeal.
who raced behind almost perfect In
terference, but the Wildcats hit their
stride In the same second period to
score twice and take a 13-6 advan
tage at half-time.
Quarterback Sidney Woods engi
neered the second period Arizona
attack, scoring the first touchdown
on a 40-yard slice off tackle. He
then turned the ground-gaining as
signment over to Fullback Walter
Nellsen after an Intercepted Oregon
pass gave Arizona the ball on the
Wildcat 49.
Three crashes Into the line, featur
ing Nellsen and Halfback Brnko Sml
lanlch, brought Arizona to the 35.
From there Nellsen. a 210-pounder,
crashed through tackle, eluded the
Oregon secondary and carried Gray
beal on his back tUe final 10 yards
to the goal line. He then split the
uprights on a place kick conversion.
The Webfeet enjoyed a short-lived
advantage in the third period when
Neilsen'a hurried punt carried only
a short distance to the Arizona 32.
Graybeal battered his way to the 17
on three plays, but the Arizona line
stiffened and Oregon relinquished the
ball on downs at that point.
Smilanlch and Nellsen again hit
their stride. Power plays brought
Arizona to the Wildcat 45. Nellsen
found a wide hole In the line and
raced 50 yards to the Oregon five
before he was brought down from
behind.
Smilanlch tossed to Harry Parker,
end. for the final score. Nellsen
converted.
Arizona was denied another touch
down in the fourth when Smilanlch
intercepted an Oregon pass and gal
loped 45 yards to the goal line, but
the ball was brought back and Ari
zona penalized for clipping.
Desperate Aerial attempts by the
Webfeet proved futile in the closing
minutes.
Oregon registered nine first downs
to eight for Arizona, but the Wildcats
gained 289 yards from scrimmage to
115 for the northerners. Three passes
netted Oregon 49 yards, while two
aerial thrusts gave Arizona 13 yards.

CHICAGO. Dec. 4. (F) There was
plenty or smoke and a lot of Ire In
the baseball trading business today
a the shopping center shifted from
the minor league meeting In Mil
waukee to the major league arena In
Chicago.
Though the American league turn
all the deals at Milwaukee. Indica
tions today were that the long await
ed swap of Brooklyn's Van Mungo
was all but ready for official an
nouncement. The best guess today was that the
New York Gianta or Chicago Cubs
would get Mungo. The Gianta open
ed up a bit by selling southway pitch
er At Smith to the St. Louis Cardin
als and getting Catcher Tom Padden,
ox-Pittsburgh pirate, from the Cards.
Padden will go to the Jersey City
horse of the player mart was
Pittsburgh. When the disappointing
1937 season closed. Mn natter Pie Ttay
nor said his club was ready to shoot
the works with almost every player
on the club. So far. no one has had
a peep out of Pie but he may swing a
big deal around Paul Waner and Arky
Vaughan any day now. The Boston
Bees also were doing a bit of fine
gum shoeing and an Important deal
may be pulled by shrewd Bob Qulnn
Tho American league, apparently,
was Just beginning to trade. Manager
Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox cer
tainly must do some more shopping
now because he has wound up with
almost an entire lineup of right hand
ed hitters, one of tho surest routes to
second division In baseball. The Bos
ton Red Sox, It Is known, want to
get a deal for Jimmy Foxx; Cleveland
wants a catcher and is fairly certain
or landing RoJIle Hemstey from the
St. Loula Browns; the Yankees,
though sitting tight, would spend a
pretty penny for a good pitcher. De
troit, apparently. Is well fixed now
that it obtained Pitcher Vernon Ken
nedy from the White Sox, who got
Marvin Owen and Gerald Walker.

STRELICH MEETS
POPULAR MR. LOTT
Jimmy Lott versus Steve Strellch;
Red Lyons versus Joe Smollnskl
that's the white hot grnppllng dish
cooked up by Promoter Mack Llllard
for Monday night's presentation In
the Armory. And for an appetlur,
Phil Romano and Mike Burke, meet
ing In the opening event.
Lott and Strellch, two extra clean
and scientific battlers, are billed for
the top tangle, a one hour set-to.
but the Lyons-Smollnskl middle
brawl is the business causing all
local grunt and groan phllberts to
He awake nights Imagining all sorts
of possible happenings when the two
tcrlfflc vllllans square off.
Smollnskl, In his current southern
Oregon stay, has not been overly
successful In the matter of winning
matches, but the reason has not
been a lack of unorthodox ability on
the part of the Polish Palooka. ff
possible, the hated palooka is more
of a louse right now than over be
fore, and If it weren't for the fact
that Lyons Is no mean louse him
self, it would be pure suicide to stick
a grappler In there with Smollnskl,
raging mad from the Strellch defeat
last week.
While the middle event Is expected
to Jar the city with Its grappling
explosion, the main go between Lott
and Strellch will probablj be one of
the cleanest and most scientific
matches of the season.

field today to pile up a 43 to 0
score, one of the worst beatings ever
Inflicted on the local school.
Fifteen thousand fans tat through
sunny weather as the maroon pan
talooned football rnldcra from the
plains of the Ione Star state did
practically everything but swipe the
uniforms of their bewildered rivals.
Touchdowns were rolled over with
a regularity that grew monotonous
as the game p regressed .
Left halfback Dick Todd, starring
In the role of a super-yard gainer,
led the most devastating rout wit
nessed on a northern gridiron this
season. It wasn't confined to one
man, however.
In the last two minutes of play,
after the lowliest substitute had
been given his chance. Coach Homer
Norton switched his all-American
left guard. Joe Routt, to left hall
and the 193-pounder from Chspel
Hill enjoyed the greatest thrills ot
a spectacular playing career by barg
ing through two Una plays and a
total 13-yard gain.
The San Franciscans, who held
the Texons to fairly respectable count
of 38 to 14 last year, dlon't have a
chance this time.
They made three first downs and
33 yards from scrimmage compared
to 17 first downs and 239 yards
for the Aggies.
