Smith Candidate
For Wert Squad
In Shrine Game
Not every football player in
.the country is fortunate enough
to be a member of a team in-
vited to compete in one of the
various "bowl" games on the
'first of the year, but for many
senior gridders this fact causes
them no disappointment, what
soever. 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.

TULANE, AGGIES
SIGNED TO MEET
L
Rose Bowl Rivals To Be
Named After Games Sal
Tech .In Orange Tiff.
By the Associated Press.
. 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

a lot of people wander off the
grounds with a lot of unsnent

The manufacturers reported
only a meager output of tin sol

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.

LOOPS TO
KEEP TERRITORY
By Gayle Talbot.
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.
They are barred from compet
ing in tournaments and matches
under the association's auspices
"pending final action by the exe
cutive committee Feb. 9, it was
announced in the monthly bul
letin today.
Details of the alleged viola
tions were not given.

More Forward Passing Chief
Gridiron Trend, Poll Says
By Hugh S. 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

into its own as a weapon of
offense. This was noted, for ex
ample, by Yale's coaches. A Big
Six observer reported the quick
kick had become practically a
part of every team's routine in
that conference.
Such widely separated col
leges as Holy Cross, Marshall of
West Virginia, Arkansas and the
University of Portland used the
quick kick effectively.
