TOMMY LEADS NATION'S By Gall Fowler. Seattle, Nov. 30. (JP) Tom Harmon, Michigan's great back who rolled up 221 yards last week, ranked first as the na tion's leading ground gainer to day, and also holds the dis tinction of surpassing the 1938 rushing leader. American football statistical bureau figures showed Harmon totaled 1,356 yards from both passes and scrimmage for an average of 169.5 yards per game and 6.08 yards per play. In eight games he carried the ball 129 times and threw it 94 times, gaining 868 yards on the ground and 488 in the air. His ground gain of 868 yards passed the 1938 leader, Len Eshmont of Fordham, who totaled 831. After trailing Kay Eakin, the Arkansas traveler, for two weeks, Harmon zoomed into first place while Eakin was idle. Eakin has accounted for 1,150 yards in nine games. Kenny Washington of UCLA moved up from sixth- to third with 1,107 yards in eight games. E FACE UCLA TONIGHT y Los Angeles, Nov. 30.

Thanks." llliP8" .... " ..cote .r.0 tw tto YD"" IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I am tunning this announcement and paying for this advertising space because I believe that an opportunity has arisen which may or may not last very long, for me to do a service to the people of this city who. In the past, have favored me with their lire and tube business. Prices of almost everything have been going up since the first of September when things started to happen over in Europe. The experts tell us that prices are going to keep on going up. Now, right on top of a situation like that, Goodrich has just announced a general reduction in the price of tires and tubes ranging up to 14 of list prices. Even before this reduction, these Goodrich tires were certainly real value for the money, but at these new low prices they are a great buy. As long as these low prices stay in effect, I can sell you a 6.00x16 Goodrich Safety Silvertown with Life-Saver Tread that formerly listed at $15.95 for only S13.9S and give you good allowance for your old tire too. A 6.00x18 Goodrich Golden Ply Silvertown that formerly listed at $14.35 now sells for $12.35 and the Goodrich Standard that was listed at $11.95 now sells for $10.45. All other tire prices are also reduced. You know as well as I do that tires are a necessity. If your tires are wearing down smooth.lhey aren't safe for winter driving and you'll have to replace them sooner or later if you want to stay on the safe side. The Goodrich testing engi neers iell us that tires don't wear as much in the winter as lhey do In the summer, so you can have the protection of good non-skid during the winter months and still have plenty of mileage left for summer driving. How long these low prices will last, I don't know any better than you do, but when a price cut comes along in the tire line just when all other prices are going up. I say It's time to buy tires. C. O. WHEELOCK, Manager Lewis Eighth and Fron' Gray beat' a Jaw Cracked in Came Against Huskies Eugene, Ore., Nov. 30. &) Or. Hal Chapman and Dr. Or ville Waller, University of Oregon team physicians, to day announced that Jay Graybeal, triple-threat left halfback of the Webfoot team, suffered a cracked Jaw in the Washington game at Seattle last Thursday. The injury, however, could not be classed as a "break" because the Pendleton lad is able to eat and has apparent ly suffered no ill effects. A further study of x-rays taken in Seattle will definitely de termine the extent of the in jury, but the doctors did not expect to place a brace on the Jaw. they said BOWLING Commercial league bowling matches In the Medford alleys last night saw Monarch Seed and Peed take all four points from Uttrell Parts, McDonald Candy beat Rolling Pin, 3 to 1, and Plche Sports beat Mall Tribune, 4 to 0.
