San Francisco, Dec. 5. (U.R)
The sports editors and writers
of United Press newspapers In
the far west today present their
Pacific coast all-star football
team for 1939.
One of the strongest teams

tional but also national recog
nition.
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.
These were the players select
ed for the fl.st team:
Ends: William Anahu, Santa
Clara, and Jay MacDowell.
Washington.

sity of Oregon, and Phil Gas

Washington was considered
the outstanding back and Smith

back, Schlechl for center and
Smith for one guard post was
almost unanimous. Anahu was
considered the ' leading end;
Stuart the best tackle.
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.
For the first time in years,
possibly for all time, no players
from California or Stanford,
each of which had Its "worst
season on record," made the
first team.

Fights Last Night
DEFEAT KENASTON
By the expert usage of the
Boston crab hold, his favorite
grappling maneuver, Paul Bo
zell defeated King Kong Clay
ton In the Medford armory last
night for his fourth straight vic
tory since returning to Medford.
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.

OP-SM SCHOOLS
MAY FORM LEAGUE
Portland, Dec, 5. (F) A
new interscholastic league ex
tending from Astoria to Hood
River may be considered at the
annual Oregon High School
Athletic association meeting late
this month.
The proposed league would
include Astoria, The Dalles,
Rainier, Scappoose, Hood River,
Hill Military Academy and Co
lumbia Prep school.
Hill and Columbia were drop
ped from the Big Nine league
recently.

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

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.

SHOWED INCREASE
New York, Dec. 5. 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.
The state conservation depart
ment estimates that 13,947,475
pounds of game are taken annually.
