OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1939. 1 03,300 Fans See Mighty Trojans Held to Scoreless Tie by Uclans T MEETS IIS ITCH IN FIERCE GAME Bruins March 78 Yards In Scoring Threat Negro . Back Star Of Battle. Memorial Coliseum, Los An goles, Dec. 9. (P) The Unl verslty of Californla-at-Los An geles all but wrecked the South' em California Rose Bowl spec ial today, but the Cardinal and Gold of Troy moved on to the Pasadena post-season classic at ter a furious two-hour battle with the Uclans that ended in scoreless tie. The result left the University of Southern California with two ties against its record, and the Bruins of UCLA with three in Pacific coast conference play and one outside battle. The formality of the confer ence naming USC as its repre sentative in the Rose Bowl was to be attended to later. A record-breaking crowd of 103,300 spectators, the most who , ' ever saw a football game west of "the Mississippi, watched the two home town adversaries struggle on near-even terms throughout the game. The favored Trojan machine, geared - for an uninterrupted march to the Rose Bowl for the second straight year, made one mighty scoring effort in the first period, and the Puissant Blue of UCLA brought the roaring crowd to its feet with a 76-yard thrust In the final quarter. Between whistles, the two un defeated teams tore into each other like unacquainted wild cats yet only one serious pen alty was called. It was a clip ping foul ruled against USC. For once, the yardstick ac curately measured the ability of the two elevens. The Trojans made 11 first downs and the Uclans, with Halfback Kenny Washington turning in a bril liant 60 minute game, had ten. USC had an edge in yards gained, but the Trojans found line as big and tough as their own in this Bruin forward wall. Gathered under skies bright one moment and cloudy the next, the huge throng saw the Trojan powerhouse start off with a bang. With Quarterback Grenville Lansdell in the driv er's seat, S. C. moved inside the Uclans 23 yard stripe. UCLA held for downs, took over on its own 22 and then Washing ton fumbled on the 28. Bob Peoples made five, Lans ( dell passed for four, and soon , Peoples banked his way to the Bruin 11, Lansdell then took the ball, crashed over the battered right side of the Bruin line and as he reached the five he was tackled from behind. The ball , flew out of his hands and over the goal line. That was the only scoring threat of an SC team figured to down the Bruins by convincing margin. The second and third periods rattled off quickly, but neither squad could get into scoring position. Late In the last frame, after Doyle Nave had maneuvered the Trojans into Bruin territory, the UCLA lads took the ball on their own 20, Jarklo Robinson, Washing ton's halfback teammate, reeled off 13 and Kenny added ten more. Fullback Leo Cantor ad ded a yard and the Bruins crossed the mldficld stripe, on Washington's IB-yard pass to End Don MacPhcrson.

Another pass went for five, to Ned Mathews, and Washington went through the line for 3 to the Trojan seven. Cantor barged over the Trojan right tackle for four, and Cantor carried it to the two. Here the Trojans fought off the thrust Washington was stopped cold and Cantor was knocked back to the four. On fourth down, Washington's pass over the goal line was knocked down by Bob Robertson, SC halfback. In the dying moments of the game the Uclans came back across the neutral stripe,- but desparate pass by Washing- ton was Intercepted and the game ended soon after. RICE WITH EASE Dallas, Dec. 9. (IP) Oft beat en Rice Institute took one more punch on the chin today, South ern Methodist landing a 13-6 wallop, but it came within six inches of being surprisingly great. The big blue and grey ma chine picked to lead the south west conference chase was im bedded in the cellar after to day's closing game, not a cir cuit victory on the books. Runs and passes netted Rice 205 yards to the 118 gained by Southern Methodist on running plays only, but the big Rice line permitted Methodist charges in the fourth period to permit a blocked kick that made all the statistics go by the board. For the third time this season all in crucial spots, sophomore end Roland Goss of Southern Methodist charged In and hurled his flying body against Olle Cor- dlll's kicking leg. The ball bounded down to the eight, cen ter Ray Pope picked it up and ran for the clinching touchdown. PRO TEAM AFTER TENNESSEE STAR Milwaukee, Dec. 9. UP) The Chicago Cardinals, with first choice in the National pro fessional football league's an nual draft meeting, picked George Cafego, Tennesee's great halfback, as the man they want ed most to bolster their 1940 team.

TENNESSEE WINS OVER AUBURN, 7-0 BUTLER SPARES Now Wait For Rose Bowl Bid Tiny Halfback Sparks Way To Victory Knoxvllle, Tenn., Dec. 9. (JP) Tennessee's o r a n g e-shlrted Volunteers, a touchdown-tight team if there ever was one, cli maxed a spectacular gridiron campaign today with a 7 to 0 triumph over an Auburn team that gave its all but not enough. The Rose bowl, an elusive honor for the grldders who have fought under the direction of that old army strategist, Ma jor Bob Neyland, hung in the balance as a gallant defensive Tennessee team, which knew what to do and how to do it to win, crashed through to its 23rd straight triumph and wait ed for an expected invitation. As the color-capped Tennessee band whipped into a jazz-jittery presentation of "Califor nia, Here I Come," while a gathering of 20,000 witnessed the climax to a thoroughly-convincing season, the expected in vitation to Pasadena s tourna ment of roses was apparently only a matter of course. The sophomore sensation, slender Johnny Butler, sparked the payoff victory for the second-stringers, who have borne the brunt all season of a Ten nessee team that capitalized on opportunities. , Tennessee "felt out" the Tigers in a drab first period, but, apparently realizing that points were needed to gain a claim to the Southeastern con ference championship and a clinch on the Rose bowl, a sec ond team was rushed in and produced dividends. Butler dropped back to fake a pass. He wheeled wide to his left, feigned a forward toss just back of the line of scrimmage, dodged a would-be tackier and then tucked the pigskin under his arm and raced, ahead. Momentarily checked at the 25, he squirmed out of a trio of tackles and sprinted for a "touch down. That touchdown might easilv be termed an $83,000 scorlne Jaunt.

In the sense that feminine grap pling fans will be admitted free, but the Medford armory will probably be jammed to the rafters tomorrow evening with members of the fair sex anx ious to witness Miss Clara Mortensen, world's woman light weight champion, return to match arm and headlocks, and maybe some hair-pulling, with Gladys Nolan, a capable blonde miss from Kansas City. The two gals, positive top notchers in the wrestling Indus try, female division, will face off for 45 minutes or the best two out of three falls. They'll go to work between the semi windup and the main event, and if the match is anything like those others In which Miss Mor tensen has taken part in here, the fur will fly and the cus tomers will receive more than their money's worth. The woman champ is really a fine grappler. She has met and defeated the best in the country, and in Miss Nolan she expects to face one of her most dangerous opponents. The latter, weighing 140 pounds, has been a consistent challenger for La Mortensen's title, and although this won't be a championship match it will furnish Miss Nolan the opportunity of obtaining B large measure of satisfaction by defeating the crown-wearer. Topping the four-play pro gram will be King Kong Clay ton and Paul Bozell tangling in a rematch from their gruelling struggle of last week, when Bozell broke through the Negro's defense to whip on a couple of Boston crabs and win the match. Clayton asked for another chance at the powerful ex-Black Dragon and the latter agreed. Supporting matches to the main go and the women's ex hibition will see Bobby Chick meeting Eddie Rogers and Bob Kenaston grappling Leo Morten sen, brother of Clara, A coin will be flipped to see which of the pair open the card.
