'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

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

Duke's supporters In southern Cal- j
IfornlA were legion, however, and no
one could criticize Ita 1038 team

Tough Alignment
Southern California drew a tough

PrTTSBUROH, Nov. 30. (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.

by the Black Tornado, 28 to 10, In
-sensational scoring battle, walked
off with tbe Hons share of positions
on the mythical eleven, placing four

the Tigers, 13 to 6. gained two posts,
and Grants Pass, Hood River, Rose
burg, Klamath Falls and Eureka cop
ped one position each.
Players of Coach Fritz Kramer's
Eugene club, named by the Tigers
as the best they faced at their re
spective posts, were Bodner and
Elliott, the pair of 230-pound tack
les; Bishop, guard and Couglll, bril
liant left halfback.
Frank Redden, fullback and Lid
strcm, end. mainstays on tbe Bend

the best they played against. Steele
of Hood River was accorded the
other end post and Tomanovlch of
Eureka, the lone team to beat this
season's Tigers, was placed at the
other guard spot. Coffman, Klamath
Foils center, was named to that po

Grants Pass brilliant broken field
