Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: 'Frisco Sports Writers Unfair to Southern Cal Trojans Invite Duke to Annual Pasadena Rose Bowl Party IRON DUKES BOAST B1II7 Bulea Most lovers of warm weather and haters of winter's Icy blasts would b loathe to return to this chilly village and cli mate after a two week's sojourn In sunny Cali fornia, but not this soul. Actu ally, we were plenty glad to trade San Fran cisco's sunshine for Medford's re frigerator - like temperature, due to a combina tion of reasons at both places. For one thing, we were begin ning to get downright disgusted at the screwball antics and sickening affection sports writers of the bay district bave for California's Golden Bear football team. Or, did have, ; rather, before Southern California's Trojans were voted Into the Rose Bowl yesterday. Now that all hopes i of the Bears again playing In the Pasadena classic have faded, the football writing gentry of 'Frisco and Oakland may come to their senses and be aware of the fact that U. 8. C. also had a grid team this season and, although only tied with 1 California for the Pacific Coast conference crown, was clearly the superior outfit of the two In every respect. However, until conference mo guls ended the suspense by bal loting Howard Jones men Into the bowl and Into a $100,000 lire of the gate receipts, sports writers In the vicinity of the Berkeley campus day aft er day unleashed the most prejudiced, b Insert and unfair yarns we have ever rend, or even drew inert pos sible for supposedly clenr-thlnk-Ing rrewspnnrr men to manufac ture. Despite tho fnct that C.fl.C. soundly drubbed Califor nia (13 to 7 and 30 first downs to S, etc.) and Hons ted better comparative scores against com mon opponents than did the Bears, with the lone exoeptlon of the Vnhlngton game, the scrib blers Instiled that California should get the Ilose Bowl gnme, merely because It was a rlin nip Ion Inst season and tied for It again this year. Quick Negotiation Will Give North Carolinians First Trip to Pasadena Other Candidates Gloomy Even Prescott Sullivan of tho Examiner, usually a pretty good port and our favorite sports writer, tossed plenty of dirt at the Trojans, and it was he who came up with the prise bonehead story. After the Trojans massacred UCLA, 42 to 7 Thanksgiving day to definitely prove they were the best team on the const. Sullivan sat .down and pounded out a yarn to the effect that California could have beaten UCLA by as great a tnargln If only Coach Stub Allison of the Boors had not felt sorry for the Bruins and told his team to pull their punched and not run up a high score. California beat UCLA 30 to 7, and If we re member right, It wns a plenty tough game for the Bears. Such goings on as that were too much for yours truly, and we wore more thnn glad to walk away from San Francisco and those nutty sports writers. Why, their writings concerning the Rose Bawl situation made the partiality which creeps Into Ashland, Grants Pass, Medford and Klamath Falls newspnpers seem like boosts for the other team. In comparison. On to California DURHAM. N. C, Nov. 39. (AP) The thermometer showed It was nearly freezing, but the fragrance of roses mingles with football en thusiasm In this tobacco-manufacturing town today. Until late Into the night, Duke students, led by the 80-pleco Blue Devil band, paraded from he un iversity campus through the downtown streets, nnd the cry was "On to Pasadena" or "California, here I cornel" The Rose bowl fever hit town about 8:30 last ntght when word came that Duke would represent the east In the Pasadena, classic on January 3, However, there had been early symptoms of It for two days ovor since the Dukes de feated Pittsburgh In a snowstorm Saturday afternoon. The celebration was set off by Coach Wallace Wode's brief an nouncement: "We will accept the bid." While It was a source of much Joy to leave CnMfornln, the actual return to southern Oregon afforded us even more hspptness. Wo might even call It hilarity, nnd It wns Just that, too. You see, we had shot the works and wngered one whole dollar with a fellow who signs "I Told You 80" to his sports column In an Ashland weekly, the bet belli that we took Medford hieh over A Mi I and and gave Mr. "I Told You 80" end Ashland three touchdowns.

And by the wsy, we wonder why wild columnist emplovs such a noin de plume, nnywny? Why doesn't he sln bts name the way his mama and pnpn put It down on the hlrth certificate? Of course, we know who the writer Is, but titers are undoubt edly scares snd spores of citizens who would like to lenrn the true monicker of a perfect example of Barnum's fsnious saying. Why doesn't he get brave for Just one week, anywsv, and slick his real name over his column so that the football betting (topulnre will know where to go for some of thst easy lucre?

Concluding In six hours negotia tion that usually take a week or ' more, Southern California last night Invited the Blue Devils of Durham, N. C to play lte Trojan Warriors In Pasadena's annual post-season game, and Duke lost no time accept ing. There Is Joy in the hills of North Carolina today, for never before In the 33-year-old history of the far west classic has one of Its teams played In the Rose-Bowered Bowl In the arroyo seco. Other Candidates Gloomy But Just as there la celebrating In North Carolina, so Is there gloom In bluebonnct state of Texas and a wall for every rebel yell echoing over the rolling oountryslde of Tennessee, for Texas and Tennessee had unbeaten. untied Rose Bowl candidates, too, in Texas Christian and the University of Tennessee. Sentiment was high here In favor of little Davey O'Brien and his T. C. U. Horned Prog mates; Tennessee had a growing delegation of hopeful back ers, and disappointment was keen within the two faction when Duke's Iron dukes came up with a rush over , the weekend and won the Invitation, j Duke's supporters In southern Cal- j IfornlA were legion, however, and no one could criticize Ita 1038 team or Its record of nine straight victories with never a touchdown, never a point surrendered. Tough Alignment Southern California drew a tough nsslgnment In Duke, the team that tossed hack the chsllengea of Pitt, ColKnte, Syracuse and other .strong elevens of that caliber, and In addi tion a team coached by a man. Wal lace Wnde, who brought three Al abama ten ma to Pnsndena and left with two victories and one tie for a near-perfect record. Agnliurt this Is tho Trojnn record of never having been defeated or tied In four Rose Bowl games, three of which saw Howard H. Jones, who .spent a year coaching Duke In 1034 before coming out here, at the helm of 8. C. grid forces. Whether the present twice beaten Warhorse of Troy, which dropped de cision to Alabama and Wnnhlngton Is as good as the one that kicked over Pitt. 47 to M, in 1930. or Titian. 31 to 13, In 1033. remain to be wen.

(AP) Dancing legs and a left jab that car ried little except to stave off his foe won Billy Conn of Pittsburgh a decision last night over Solly Krteger of New York, the national boxing commission's newly crowned middleweight champion In a 13 round non-tltle bout. Krleger, fighting his first contest since taking the title from Al. Hos tak In Seattle, pursued the elusive Conn to all corners of the ring, but only once, In the furious eleventh, did he catch up and have the Pitts burg fighter In trouble. Then he landed a smashing right to the Jaw that left Conn defense less. The champion followed this with a right to the stomWh and ns Conn seemed to buckle. Krleger landed a terrific left hook that snapped back Conn's head. Conn tottered Against the ropes and Krle ger was set to blast again but. Billy dove Into a clinch and weathered the round. Krleger weighed 183, Conn weighed 165U. Closing time for Too Late to Clas ilfy Ads Is 1:30 p. m. Pnrmers To Play Hockey AMHERST, N. S. (UP) A farmers hockey league Is being formed here.
