For there is the annual East-West Shrine game in San Francisco beckoning, and for those who are chosen to repre sent their section in what is probably the most colorful and dramatic classic of them all. the ultimate in gridiron glory is reached. This year the Shrine commit tee in charge of the charity struggle is aiding coaches of the Eot nnd West teams in select ing their player personnel. This committee, in turn, has enlisted the assistance of sports writers in the different sections in get ting a line on outstanding sen iors eligible for the New Year's Day clash, and we nave ucc honored by a request to name who, in our opinion, should be chosen from Oregon to play for the West. Incidentally Jonn rtea dy, former Medford resident, is working on the Shrine game publicity. ' So, without wasting any ilm. we immediately mailed back our choices for the Ore gon seniors we believe should be named to help battle the East. They were Jay Gray beal. Oregon left halibacki Bob Smith, Oregon right half--back) Jim Stuart, Oregon tackle and Eberle Schulti. Oregon State guard. Of course, with Oregon State hopping to Honolulu lor a tilt with Otto Klum's Hawaii unl Tersity outfit on January, 1, Schults probably won't be able to play In 'Frisco, but we put hit name down anyway, just in case. . Those three Webfoots, how ever, will be perfectly free to line up with the West squad of Babe Hollingbery and Biff Jones. And, according to the grid grapevine, they are almost cinches to be selected.- Smith and Graybeal have been told to keep in condition, and Stuart can hardly be kept off the quad. If Bob Smith does get a berth on the West aggregation, he will be the third Medford boy o honored, in the 14 year his tory of the game. Bernie Hughes and Bill Morgan both played In the Shrine clash following their last years at University of Ore gon. Smith, Oregon's most consis tent ground-gainer this season and a deadly southpaw pitcher, had a field day against Wash ington State. As the Cougars are coached by Babe Holling bery a blind man can see that Bob is almost certain to be se lected to play for the West. As for Graybeal, leaving him off the squad would be like Ignoring Red Grange on your all-time All-America. The Jackrabbit pasted, ran, kicked and received aerials, and for broken-tield running he had no equal on the coait. Hli most valuable attribute, though, was his ability to boot place-kicks, and that's just what both West and East teams are looking tor. Sev eral garnet In the past have been decided by those three pointers, and the coaches of the two squads are making no secret of the tact they definitely want to have at least one guy handy, who can thump the leather over the crossbar. Stuart and Schultz were out standing linemen for the Web foots and Beavers, respectively, and the former is almost certain to be called up for West duty. Schultz will be, too, if he is available. REDS TRADE SCARSELLA FOR PITCHER AND CASH Cincinnati, Dec. 6. liP) The 1 first Important player deal of ; ine rjaseonu convention was i closed today. The National champion Cincinnati Reds sent Lcs Scarsella and a "email j amount of cash" to the Boston Bees for Pitcher Jim Turner, j Scarsella was a reserve first baseman for the Reds last sea I son.

It's Tulane against the Texas Aggies in the Sugar Bowl at New Orelans New Year's day, and the backers of rival bowl games probably are wondering how they can match that at traction. Those two teams, a pair of the nation's most powerful, were matched last night after a day filled with wavering and indecision. Now most of the other teams that were so anx ious to do a little post-season playing' are trying to make up their minds where they will go. Trojans Favored. The Rose Bowl rivals, of course, won't be picked until after Saturday, when the Southern California-U. C. L. A. game will decide the Pacific coast championship. To has ten things along, the confer ence president has arranged a telegraphic vote Saturday night to name the west s representa tive. U. S. C. ii expected to get the call, and the most likely easten team is believed to be Tennessee, provided the Vols get past Auburn Saturday. Georgia Tech already has ac cepted a bid to the Miami Orange Bowl, and Arizona State of Tempe will play In the El Paso Sun Bowl, but so far they haven't lined up any opponents. The Cotton Bowl had to start all over again when Tennessee and Texas A. and M. turned down its offer of $170,000 to be split between the teams. UCLA USC FUSS CERTAIN SELLOUT Los Angeles, Dee. 8. (P) One of. those very sad experi ences in the life of a college graduate manager is about to happen here. Memorial Coliseum, which on ly seats 103,303, apparently isn't going to be large enough to hold all the people who want to see the grid battle Saturday oeiween southern California and the University of California nt Los Angeles. If things pan out as most probably they will, graduate manager Bill Ackerman of UCLA will be able to stand around the big stadium nrnimri 2 o'clock game-day and watch a lot of people wander off the grounds with a lot of unsnent money in their pockets.

U.R Ernat Hemingway, novelist, war cor respondent and outdoor enthus iast, is resting up between wars in Sun Valley Lodge, writing a new novel and indulging in his love for hunting and fishing. Hemingway took time out from his piscatorial efforts to announce he would cover the European war as soon as it be came interesting end not any sooner. Meanwhile, he has a novel to finish, and a lot of fish ing to do. not to mention taking pot shots at pheasants and ducks.

BLONDE TO MEET I Promoter Mack Lillard an nounced today that Gladys No lan of Kansas City, Mo., a good- looking blonde lassie weighing 140 pounds and standing five feet six Inches, would furnish the opposition for Clara Morten sen, world's lightweight woman wrestling champion, in the Med ford armory next Monday night. The two feminine wrestlers will go 45 minutes or the best two out of three falls, in addi tion to the regular three-match male program, which will be announced tomorrow. Miss No lan, Lillard stated, is an expert at applying arm and hammer locks. Chicago U.R There will be few war-Inspired toys for Amer ican children this Christmas. Manufacturers said, in consen sus, that youth still is interested in tricycles, put-together sets, miniature automobiles and mod el airplanes. A survey of 187 toy makers disclosed an estimated $211,250, 000 will be spent for children's gifts before midnight Dec. 24." The gifts will be improved styles of familiar playthings for the I most part. The manufacturers reported only a meager output of tin sol diers, military drums and Don guns. In most cases the tovs had been ordered before war broke out, but manufacturers insisted there had been no change in types of the toys demanded. On the other hand, they said, there had been no intentional de-emphasis of warlike toys. Learns to Count. Chatham, Ont. (U Rl Bozo is a cocker spaniel, nut not of the ordinary type. His owner. Ira L.

Fred Lennard, Medford A.A.U. representative, will be in charge of the meeting. Several teams from Medford have signified their intention of entering the proposed loop, and quintets from Ashland, Jackson ville, Central Point and other county towns are expected to join. The title was won last year by Ingle's Cowboys of Ashland, who competed in the state A.A.U. tourney in Port land. WEBFOOTS READY TEAST Eugene, Ore., Pec. 6. (JP) The University of Oregon's mi gratory basketball team, which won the national collegiate championship last season, was getting its duffle together to day for another 7,500-mile cage tour. The defending N.S.A.A. titl ists embark on this year's coast to-coast pilgrimage with only one mcmocr of the lofty quin tet which last March belted over Ohio Stale at Evanston in tne U. S. final. The sole holdover is John Dick of The Dalles. Ore., a forward. Nevertheless Coach Howard Hobson has an other potent Webfoot team, and while he scarcely expects it to retain the big cup, he promises it wouldn't surrender without a fight.

Cincinnati, Dec. 6. (P) The minor leaguers, asserting their independence, will slam the door right in the face of the big leaguers at the final meet ing of the little fellows today. This is the most important development of the baseball con vention up to now, mainly for the reason there have been no trades or deals OI any sort worth mentioning. They still are dodging and weaving. The presidents of two of the top minor leagues. George W. Trautman of the American as sociation and Frank Shaugh nessy of the International, in tended to make certain today the big leagues never would be able to invade their territory. .This will mean, in effect, that the make-up of the two major leagues will remain the same from now until the end of time that no matter how earnestly one of the St. Louis clubs might wish to transfer its franchise to Minneapolis or Newark or In-1 dianapolis, it won't be able to do it. The baseball rule now reads that any big league club that wishes can move in upon any class AA city with the payment of only $5,000 and an additional sum to "compensate" the in jured team. Today's amend ment will change all that and hog-tie the big leagues for good. Trautman and Shaughnessy spent long hours yesterday and last night preparing an edict saying it would cost a big league team at least $100,000 a grab off a promising minor league town, and maybe more. RULED INELIGIBLE New York, Dec. 6. (IP) C. Gene Mako, former Davis Cup player, and Wayne Sabin of Portland, Ore., have been ruled ineligible for alleged violatioh of amateur rules by the United States Lawn Tennis association.

Fullerton, Jr. v-... vf rtAA a i ai natrftlnnmpnt nf the forward pass as an integral part of a well-rounded attack, rather than , as a mere tnreai or me soie oiiensive weopuu, was mc H "-'-pal trend of the 1939 football season noted today in the an nual Associated Press survey of what is what on the gridiron. Together with that went the more liberal use of the kick, especially the quick kick, as an offensive weapon and the fur ther development of varied de fenses to meet equally vanea attacks. The spectacular but danger ous lateral pass suffered another decline in popularity, and ob servers in most regions declared it was as dead as the Chrysan themum haircut. Only the Rocky Mountain area, where teams took advantage of a dry season after the rain and mud of 1938 to cut their fanciest di does, reported any great use of the lateral. But coaches and qualified ob servers nearly everywhere saidl there was more forward passing, I or that it was "more effective."; In several cases, the reports were that fewer passes were1 thrown, hut. that. th Bains wprp' greater. This was especially true in the south and southwest. The drop kick as a means of producing field goals and points after touchdowns experienced a slight revival; field goal at tempts were more frequent, and in many places, punting came IS MM Hirsch-Weis "WHITE STAG" Ski Clothes Down Hill Ski Pants Colorful Ski Sweaters Warm Ski Underwear Buy your Ski equipment from Experienced Skiiers They know what's Right! 0$? -CLOTHES SHOP 42 into its own as a weapon of offense.
