Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hnlen layi: I. Pickem Take. Final Swing At Gridiron Game With today'- peerless grid picks, I. Pickem pulls in his , neck, packs away the trusty crystal ball and calls it quits for another football season. He 11 make one last, quick appearance just before the Rose Bowl game between probably Tennessee ana U.S.C., but today really winds up this year's prognosticating program. There is a dearth of encoun ters billed for tomorrow after noon, so Pickem is forced to present only half of his weekly dozen. But, what tomorrow lacks in quantity it certainly makes up for in quality. The following games are tough and Pickem doesn't expect to do much better than hit six for six. Washington-U. S. C: It has been six long years since How ard Jones managed to send a team on the field able to whip Jimmy Phclan's Huskies. Last year Washington surprised even Its most rabid rooters by up setting the Trojans, 7 to 6, and I. Pickem called the turn. This year, however, he hasn't the nerve to again name Washing ton, and the game is called like this: Southern Cal. 13, Wash ington 0. Stanford-Dartmouth: Ending one of their worst seasons In his tory, the Stanford Indians travel clear back to Hanover, N. H., to take another licking. Dart mouth hasn't looked any too strong of late, but it should have enough power to beat the Coast club with ease, about 20 to 6. Army-Navy: About the only claim this clash has to glory is the huge crowd that's certain to attend and the fact that it's the biggest "natural" of the season. Both outfits are below par, but Pickem believes Army will eke out a 7 to 3 win. Tulane-L.S.U.: Tulane's Green Wave is rolling toward a "bowl" game and should engulf a bct- ter-than-average Louisiana State team. The clash figures to be one of the most bitterly-fought In the south this year, and any thing can happen in a game of this kind. It's still Tulane thought, by a 14 to 6 tally. New York-Fordham: Another traditional struggle between two great rivals. Fordham was a slight disappointment this season and New York univer sity did better than was expect ed of it. However, we'll stick with Jimmy Crowley and his Bams. Fordham, by 13 to 0. Southern Methodist-Texas Chrlstinn: This Is the big "blood" battle of the southwest and its simply a matter of take your choice. Pickem's cherce is Southern Methodist, after an aerinl battle de luxe. Score: 27 to 14. E TO DEFEAT OILERS Eugene, Dec. 1. (IP) The University of Oregon basketball team, defending national inter collegiate champion, was forced to the limit last night to defeat SiRnal Oil of Portland, 47 to 43. The Webfeet, after trailing most of the first half, tied the count at 23-23 at hulftimc and then went on to win In the last tivo minutes. Ted Sarpola of Oregon and Chuck Patterson of the Oilers tied for high point honors, with 14 each. The score was tied several times In the second half. Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Aili ta 1:30 p. m. Snider Dairy k Produce Distributors, Medford. Phone 203. 111 I rtYl 1J swstssiOBBiHK Tennessee and EXPERTS PREDICT ROSES FOR VOLS, F Trojans, Tulane Expected To Win Bids In Final Games; Few Tilts Left Br Judion Ballsy New York, Dec. 1. (IP) Half filled now, a couple of football bowls are going to be tanked right up to the brim before the week is over if the same form that held good in yesterday's juicy Thanksgiving day menu doesn t spoil before Saturday, The Texas Aggies completed an undefeated season of ten games with a 20-0 conquest of their old rivals, the University of Texas Longhorns, and the mighty Tenneesee Volunteers caged the Kentucky Wildcats 19-0 to extend their undefeated and unscorcd upon string right up to the final fray of the season. These developments, as half of the country observed the cal endar holiday, gave the two win ners everything they needed to get to the Rose and Sugar bowls except the railroad tickets. Un til they get them, figuratively at least, nobody will know just which will go where, but the best brains arc booming Ten nessee for Pasadena and the Aggies for New Orleans come New Year's day. Tulane To Play L.S.U. The other halves of the casts in these two spectacles are like ly to be filled to the satisfaction of the public on Saturday when Southern California attempts to hurdle a Washington eleven and Tulane tackles its bitter foe, Louisiana State. Providing U.S.C. and Tulane triumph, their assignments for next New Year's day already are laid out for them. The Tro jans will be hosts in the Rose bowl and the Green Wave will receive at the Sugar bowl. While attention already has turned to the gridiron's post season activities, there still are some attractive morsels of the regular program remaining. The prospective Rose bowl rivals have games pending on December 9, Southern Cal against UCLA and Tennessee against Auburn. The Army-Navy vaudeville performance Is booked for Phil adelphia municipal stadium to morrow with more than 100,000 patrons expected. In New York there'll be Stanford and Dart mouth, and N.Y.U. against Ford ham. In Boston the fans will have Boston college and Holy Cross In one of the fiercest of feuds. On other sectional fronts the rambling wreck of Georgia Tech, tied for the Southeastern conference title, will scrap with Georgia; undefeated Duquesne bumps into Detroit, and South ern Methodist and Texas Christ ian and Baylor and Rice col lide. Yesterday's firing cost Rut gers its first defeat as the Brown Bears scored twice in the final period for a 13-0 decision. Colorado Wins Title One confcrenccc hamplonshlp was settled as Colorado cap tured a wild 27-17 fracas from Denver in the Rocky mountains' Big Seven. Alabama's slow-starting steam roller flattened Vnnderbilt 39 10, oncc-benton North Carolina walloped Virginia 10-0, and Florida escaped with a 7-7 tie against Auburn when the game ended with the Tigers on the two-yard line. Nearly every national pnrk in the United States showed an In crease In the number of hikers on forest trails. The overnight pack-horse type of hiking gained especially in adherents.

The sergeant is a tough baby and most fans will be pulling for the elder Chick boy. TEXAS AGS SAVE COACH'S JOB BY By Felix R. McKnight College Station, Tex., Dec. 1. (JP) Ten football games ago a tired man started the season at Texas A. & M. with his neck in the guillotine. Today Homer Hill Norton has an unbeaten team, a certain post-season bowl bid in the of fing, the southwest conference title and more than a light clam or to shift his talent to other places. Rain and mud slowed his massive warriors, but yester day, while 40,000 wet custo mers shrieked, his Aggies whipped the University of Texas 20-0 to close a perfect ten-game season in which stout opposi tion scored only 18 points. Today Coach Norton left fog- enshrouded College Station on a duck hunt until Tuesday. Then the Aggies, while not of ficially confirming any rumors, are expected to vote a prefer ence for the New Orleans Sugar Bowl game. Admittedly eager to play in the Rose Bowl, the Aggies were believed to harbor a feeling they were running second to Tennes see's Vols. Reliable reports were that Norton had been approached by a major Pacific coast school. He had little to say aoout such re ports. HUGH FDR ARMY-NAVY Philadelphia. Dec. 1. (JP) The city tingled with excitement today as football forces of the Army and Navy trained sights on their annual gold braid clas sic. Encamped at suburban coun try clubs, the rival contingents staged dress rehearsals each grimly confident' of winning to morrow s skirmish on the dyed Rrccnsward of municipal sta dium. Downtown hotel lobbies be gan swarming with the van guard of the 100,000 persons who are expected to se the game. j Everyone seemed bursting with good spirits save the spec ulators. Thoy arc gltiMi over the dictum that tickets sold at more than $4.40 each would be turned down at the gate. Resorting to such subterfuges as the "gift" of a ticket with a tie that sold for as much as $10, the scalpers made modest headway. Still, many fans were chary of such dealings, and so left the smart boys behind the proverbial eight ball. The betting gentry Installed Army as the 7-5 favorite, but the Gobs from the Navy yard were willing in quite a few cases to lay even money that their colleagues from Annapolis would scuttle the West Pointers. Tricks Pear Trees. Mobile, Ala. (Ul'i Unusual ly warm fall weather has caused pear trees here to bloom. Mrs. H. B. Wharton said the tree in her back yard had more blooms now than it did last spring and an orchard on Moffett road put out thousands of blossoms. GLASSES Dr. R. M.

Los Angeles, Dec. 1. (JP) Those University of California at Los Angeles Bruins still are a big threat in Southern Cali fornia's Rose bowl campaign, and so are the Washington Huskies, whose long jinx over U.S.C. will get a stiff test in the coliseum tomorrow. The unbeaten Bruins finished off Washington State, 24-7, last night with a burst of fourth period touchdowns, and go into their final Pacific Coast confer ence game December 9 against the toughest of them all, South ern California's powerful Trojan eleven. Until that encounter, the Bruins are a Rose bowl con tender. Once again, as it has been all season, the Uclan victory rested on the prowess of Kenny Washington, Negro halfback star. It was Washington who put the Bruins in front last night with a touchdown pass, good for 44 yards, and who moved them into the lead again in the final period with another scoring strike, good for 26 yards. Robinson Helps Jackie Robinson, K e n n y's dusky helpmate, caught the last pass, and late gave a brilliant exhibition of broken field run ning to score once and set the stage for the fourth touchdown, but it was Washington who put the game on ice. While the rival grid teams remain in seclusion, the Uni versity of Southern California holds its annual "home-coming week" banquet tonight, with athletic officials of the Univer sity of Washington honor guests. Trojans Favored The unbeaten 'irojans remain favored to win tomorrow's Pa cific Coast conference struggle, but a hard battle was expected from the Washington eleven. SAN JOSE LOOKS San Jose, Cal., Dec. 1. (JP) San Jose State, unbeaten and untied in 13 games, was looking around today for an invitation to play in some post-season "bowl" game after winding up its season with a 12 to 0 victory over Drake university last night. A crowd of 13,000 saw the high-scoring Spartans boost their season's point total to 324 against 29 for their opponents as they knocked over a fighting Drake team with the usual of fensive trickery cooked up by the veteran Glenn S. "Pop" Warner, advisor coach at San Jose with head man Dud De Groot. Coach "Vee" Green of Drake praised San Jose as "one of the finest teams we've met in years." Use Mall Tribune want ads.

Bob Kenaston last Monday night, King Kong Clayton earned a main event wrestling berth, and he gets it next Monday eve. Standing by his promise to Clayton, Promoter Mack Lillard has matched the Negro gladiator with big, tough, undefeated Paul Bozell, and the struggle Is ex pected to cause more real grap pling interest here than any in a long, long time. Clayton has lost only one match since coming to Medford a month ago and fans are al most unanimous in declaring him the finest all-around mat- man of the current crop. Bozell, on the other hand, is bigger and probably slightly stronger and will have the further advantage of being able to employ a "sud den death hold the Boston crab. Bobby Chick, older brother of the famous Dude and former light-heavyweight champion of the world, returns after a two year's absence to meet Kenaston in the middle bout. Bobby, since leaving here, has made a sweep through the east and middle west, and comes back in per fect physical condition and with a reported number of new man euvers, which he may need against the Kenaston tough fel low. Another old favorite PoDeve Pat O'Brien will be seen in action in the opening go, when he faces Herb Parks, the sweet- wrestling Canadian. O'Brien, al though getting along in vears for a top-notch athlete, is one of the smartest gents in the busi ness. He still can go at too speed with any of the younger boys and Parks may have his paws overflowing with O'Brien.
