MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1939. PAGE THREE Last HUSKIES RETAIN MOST OF BATTLE LOSE AT F Landsell's Pass Brings Win; NTAdams Kicking Thrills; Reserve Power Gives Edge Los Angeles. Dec. 2. (JP) Southern California's mighty Trojans plunged along today on the high road to the Rose bowl, but it took a dramatic touch down in the final two minutes to crush the University of Wash ington, 9-7, in a game that pos sibly qualifies as one of the most exciting In the Pacific Coast conference. Off to a seven-point lead in the first quarter, Washington fought the mighty men of Troy to a standstill for some 58 min utes as 50,000 fans marveled at the sensational stand of the under-rated team from the north west. Then the Trojan fireworks be gan to explode. The big blow-off came when Quarterback Crenvllle Lansdell made a dramatic re-entry into the game with the ball on the Washington 16-yard line, one minute and 45 seconds to go. He took the ball, fired a pass Into the end zone, and big John Stonebraker caught it for the winning touchdown. The extra point was kicked, but it wasn't needed. Working on a theory that if one triple threat star doesn't deliver, another may, Coach Howard Jones sent in a second. When he failed, he sent in num ber 3 man. When number 3 tired, number 1 Lansdell, In this case rushed back, and .there went the Huskies' hopes of running its winning streak to six years in a row over the El Trojan warhorse. . Sixty yards the Trojans went on this last quarter rampage, the Washingtons so tired from the battering they could hardly drag themselves off the ground after a play. Ambrose Schind ler. No. 2 quarterback, started the drive, and put the Trojans in scoring position with a pass to left halfback Bob Hoffman. He barged to the 16 before the Huskies brought him down. Then came another pass. It fail ed. Then came, Lansdell.

(P) Pushed around all season and for two quarters of its final game today, the Stanford foot- ball team exploded in the third period to march 66 yards for a touchdown which paved the way for a 14 to 3 victory over Dartmouth. Victoryless until today, the . ducted in the same manner as westerners appeared well on the last year, it was decided at a road to perpetuating their rcc-' meeting of all school represent or as Dartmouth, registering atives in Central Point yesterday a field goal the first time it j morning, with the same teams got the ball, shoved its op- composing the two leagues. 2 I P IU 0wn e "?la ' ?L y CVery offens,ve! The 10,603 fans who watch ed the moist, fog-veiled battle at the Polo grounds had no rea son to believe that Dartmouth would be defeated as the teams left the field at the half. Never had Stanford been in Dartmouth territory, and twice it was forc ed to dig in to repel thrusts from its five-yard line. Bill Hutchinson had dropped back to the Stanford 20 from the 13-yard line to boot a field goal early in the first quarter, to give the Big Green a 3 to 0 lead. - Midway in the third Quarter the dormant Stanford offense came to life.

GIVE DAD AN OVERCOAT FOR CHRISTMAS PRICES SLASHED Reinhart & Barker 9 to 7 MEET BOZELL IN IAIN MAT EVENT King Kong Clayton, the dark boy from Birmingham, with the extensive grappling equipment, attempts to halt the three-match winning streak of Paul Bozell, a bad actor from Los Angeles. in Monday night's main event in the local armory. The pro gram, featuring three excellent grunt and grumble duels, starts at 8 p. m. sharp. In the middle encounter Sgt. Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill, an other sour - dispositioned indi vidual, takes on popular Bobby Chick, returning to southern Oregon after a two years' ab sence. The opener pits Herb Park's, classy Canadian, against Popeye Pat O'Brien, who hasn't been in this neck of the timber for almost three years. The top tussle will be of one-hour dura tion or the best two out of three falls, while the first two strug gles will go six 10-minute rounds or the best two for three tumbles. Clayton, a perfect physical specimen and well-liked by the local customers, is confident he can put a stop to Bozell's sweep through the ranks of current matmen. The Negro plans to unleash an attack featuring dropkicks and sonnenbergs. and he believes he is sufficiently clever and shifty to foil Bo zell's attempts to slap on his favorite hold, the Boston crab. The colored streak of light ning has lost only one match since coming here a month ago that to Hans Schulz and the manner in which he whipped Kenaston last week leads to the belief that he stands a very good chance to do the same to Bozell, although the latter will boast a weight advantage and will undoubtedly resort to foul tactics, as usual. However. Clavtnn has nrnvnl capable to coping with any and all underhtanded tricks. In fact, when necessity arises, the Negro has shown he can dish out the dirt with the worst of them, and if Bozell starts the rough s" ff Clayton is prepared to finish it. The Kenaston-Chick center squabble figures to be much the same sort of a match, with Bobby facing the Kenaston bru tality and being forced to turn u n o r t h o dox in self-defense. Chick's airplane spin is expect ed to be as much of a deter mining factor as KenRston's Gold Hill crab or swivel.
