Six teams are represented on the first squad, with University of Southern California, consid ered the strongest team on the coast, winning three places; Santa Clara, king of the inde pendents, and Oregon State, beaten only by U.S.C. this year, getting two each; Oregon, a team that started fast and then slumped, placing two; and U.C. L.A., which plays U.S.C. for the conference title next Satur day, and University of Wash ington getting one each. Lansdell Best Quarter.

Zimmerman Gats Votes. One of the features of the poll was the support given for Leroy Zimmerman, top scorer of San Jose State's undefeated team, heaviest scoring college team in the nation. Other San Jose players and stars of Fresnc State, College of Pacific, Port land and other so-called "small er schools" also caught the at tention of the selectors.

(P) Jack Dempsey leaves by Clipper plone today for Manila to ref eree the title bout Dec. 19 be tween Glenn Lee of Nebraska and Ceferino Garcia of Mlnla, recognized in New York and California as middleweight champion. The former , world's heavy weight champion, arriving by plane from New York yester day, again expressed the belief the present champion, Joe Louis, will "last for a couple of years at least." "There's nobody In sight to beat him," Dempsey snld. "After a couple of years Louis will fade because he Just naturally will not have hod enough fighting." Dempsey said he liked Billy Conn, the light heavyweight champion, as a heavyweight prospect. MIGRATORY BIRD STAMP SALE UP Sale of migratory bird stamps at the Medford post office this year indicates a substantial in crease in number of those hunt ing dueks and geese. Aeeording to Postmaster Frank IVSouza 677 stamps were sold tills year, compared with SOS last year, an increase of 1(19 or XI per cent. The hunting season, which ends today, brought good bags for most gunners, according to DeSoua. who said geese were much more plentiful this year.

Bozell's two falls came after Clayton had taken the first tum ble of a hard-fought match, eight minutes after the opening bell. Punched around the ring and blinded by Bozell's eye- work in the clinches, the Negro flash suddenly cut loose with a series of dropkicks that flat tened Bozcll, then wound up the outburst with a shoulder stand for the fall. Seven minutes later the erst while Black Dragon had his first fall. He roughed Clayton from pillar to post and when the time was ripe he grabbed his legs and flopped him over and bore down with the crab hold. Clay ton was forced to give up, and to clinch things Bozell gave an extra lunge. It was probably that extra lunge that enabled Bozell to end things a short time later, for when the gong rang for the third fall King Kong was in such bad shape that Paul had little trouble in finishing the match. He came out and pound ed Clayton across his aching back. After five blows to Clay ton s back the latter was ready for the payoff and Bozell gave it to him in the form of another crab hold. The match was extremely rough, with Bozell pouring it on and Clayton, evidently be wildered by such tactics, being fairly easy prey for the bad boy. Only once did the Negro take control, in the first ten minutes of the match. After that it was all Bozell. Bobby Chick, returning to Medford after a two year's ab sence, garnered two straight falls from Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill. Ho got his first pin in the third round with a reverse jack knife, and won the match in the fourth round on a foul, when Kenaston refused to stop a ter rific and foul body attack. Kenaston raved and ranted In the ring long after Chick had gone to the dressing room, but Referee Earl Yoakley stood pat on his decision and Kenaston receipted for a fine, large booing at the hands of the crowd. Eddie Rogers took two out of three falls from Herb Parks In the opener, in a great scientific match. Rogers gained the first fall in the second round with a body slam, Parks came back in the fourth round to even the score with a series of dropkicks and a body press, and Rogers took the deciding fall In the fifth with an alligator clutch, I following a beautiful dropklck to the whiskers. It was announced that Clara Mortenson, world's lightweight woman champion, would appear here next Monday night against a first class opponent, probably Mrs. Paul Bozell, who Issued a 'challenge to the champion from ! the ring.

Small Leagues Sinful, Is As sertionMagnates Make Large Talk, No Deals. By Gayle Talbot Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 5. (IP) In the absence of any real news, the hero of the minor league and major league base ball convention here will have to remain Judge William G. Bramham, the czar of the little fellows, who at the last account at least was viewing with alarm. The minor league chieftain spoke loud and importantly late yesterday, saying there was skullduggery within his king dom in the form of fake con tracts, and that basebalL faced some bad days indeed. No one, as a matter of fact, was very much excited over whether Judge Bramham had or had not discovered some fast work inside his organization, but his remarks at least offered a diversion. His report upon the sad state of affairs in baseball in the minor leagues enabled the boys for the time being to forget that the big leaguers still had made no trades. Judge Supplies News They still are here all of them and they have been jaw ing since Saturday. One lobby is full of magnates and rich, blue cigar smoke. Potentially there might be a baseball player deal every 15 minutes, the way they talk. But they make no trades, whatsoever, and Judse Bramham supplies the news. One interesting thing was the disclosure of General Manager Larry MacPhail of the Brook lyns that they had at one time offered $200,000 cash for Joe Medwick of the St. Louis Card inals. MacPhail, incidentaly, said he still had that much money waiting for Medwick. Tells of 'Fake Contracts" Judge Bramham to get back to the most exciting man of the meeting said he knew one club "owned by a millionaire," that was paying, its players a lot more than the figures called for on the contracts sent into him. He said this was sinful and that, furthermore, Judge Landis prob ably would catch on to it and j punish the sinners. It Is surpris-1 ing what a bluff Landis has on baseball in general. Sometimrs they wonder why they hired the little gray-haired man in Chi-1 cago. He's a terror. j Veteran Cyclist Hanford, Cal. (U.R) J. E. Rich-; mond, publisher of the Hanford !

Texas Aggies Top Football Poll; Vols, Trojans Follow New York, Dec. 5. IP) You can take your pick among Texas A. and M., Tennessee and Southern California as the na tion's best 1939 football team, but right now the experts ar picking the Aggies. They completed their regular campaign last week with their 8. Iowa . .-...138 tenth straight victory, while 9. U.CL.A. 99Va their two leading rivals have to 10. Duquesne 90 play a couple of dangerous riv- Second ten 11. Notre Dame, als Saturday before they can 88 Vi; 12. Ohio State, 82; 13. breathe easily, sit back and wait Georgia Tech, 62; 14. Boston for bowl bids, It may have been a wait-and-see attitude on the part of the football experts participating in the season's next-to-last Associ ated Press ranking poll that made them list the Aggies, Ten nessee and Southern California in that order, Texas A. and M., rated first by 28 of the 87 voters, polled 763 points of a possible 870, Tennessee, moved into second place with 19 first-place votes and 741 points, and the Trojans came in third with 18 firsts and 709 points. The remarkably close call Southern California had against Washington last Saturday, win ning 9-7 in the last two minutes of play, apparently influenced the experts considerably. A week ago, after their triumph over Notre Dame, the Trojans shared the lead with the Aggies. Tennessee was fourth last week, but bounced back again after its decisive victory over Ken tucky. Southern California's rival in the season's windup this week end is U.CL.A. and the rankings reflect the general forecast for the game U.S.C. overcoming stubborn opposition to win. Ten nessee faces Auburn, a possible upsctter, with its backfield starts, George (Bad News) Ca fego and Johnny Butler, injured.

IP) The popularity of that well-known "triple threat" a good game, a clear day and the popular priced tickets was reflected again this year in an increase in college football attendance. Based on reports from 69 representative schools through out the nation, an Associated Press survey today showed a 333-game attendance mark of 7,570,150 for 1939, compared with 7,489,785 for 341 games a year ago. That Is a gain of barely one per cent for the en tire country. The far west showed a gain of 4 per cent, due largely to a grand U.CL.A. team which drew about 400,000 the largest crowd to see any one team in the country. That Includes an estimated 101,000 for next Sat urday's game with Southern California. Michigan's Gam Take Lansing, Mich. (U.R) Michi gan's 600,000 small game and deer hunters annually bring home wild meat with a butcher shop value of nearly $3,000,000.
