PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRTEUNTE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen sayi: Babe Horrell Ha Fine Firt ' Year At Bruin School Iowa's Dr. Eddie Anderson may be the "coach of the year, and more power to him, but for our money one of our own fa cifie coast grid tutors Babe Horrell of University of Call fornia at Los Angeles certain ly deserves more than a passing salute when the honors are awarded for fine coaching jobs turned In this season. Horrell stepped Into the Bruin post this year when Bill Spauld' ing became athletic director. He had assisted Spauldlng for sev eral campaigns and, although everybody realized he would most certainly prove an excel lent head coach, even his most loyal supporters couldn't pre dict he would take his team so far, right down to a title struggle against the mighty Tro Jans. The Bruins, on pre-season dope, were strictly a second- division club. They were to be, supposedly, weakor than last year's team, which lose three games, including a 7 to 42 massacre at the hands of U.S.C. But when lht 1939 climax was reached, there were Hor rell's boys, with an undefeat ed record, battling the three deep Trojans for the Pacific Coast conference champion ship and Rote Bowl bid. And my, how close they came to upsetting the Jonesmen within two yards of doing so, to be exact and If there Is such a thing as a moral Ylctory, U. C. L. A. certainly scored one of those animals in that ssro-iero battle Sat urday before 103,300 clients. It was a brilliant ending to Horrell's first season at the helm of the Uclans, who finish ed unbeaten but tied four times, three Inside the conference and once outside, by Santa Clara. It should cam for Horrell, who was an ail-American guard at the University of California, a nice raise in salary. And a long-term contract, If he hasn't one already. By tying U.C.L.A., Southern California won its way Into the Rose Bowl, by virtue of having only two deadlocks on Its rec ord, compared to the Bruins' three. Tennessee, by defeating Auburn, 7 to 0, completed an undefeated, untied and un-scored-upon regular season and promptly received the other Pasadena bid. All of which surprised nobody, as for the past month or so it hnd been obvious the Vols and Trojans would wind up in the Tourna ment of Roses clnsh. Neither club looked overly hot In their final games, and we wonder if perhaps they might have been playing under wraps. Especially Tennessee, for Auburn hadn't showed much all season and was figured easy picklncs for the powerful Vols. Yet, it took a 40-yard touch down run by Sophomore John ny Butler to give Tennessee the triumph. It Is Just possible that Major Bob Kcyland told his boys not to show anything unless it was absolutely ncces sary. Undoubtedly there were U.S.C. scouts in the stands. As for the Trojans in lhelr U.C.L.A. game, though, if they were bent on winning by straight football thoy cam close to disaster. One point did strike us concerning the Southern Cal attack! they didn't throw nearly so many forward passes as has been their custom all season. Per haps they were attempting to keep the pitching arms of Nave and Lansdell covered up. Pete Coscarnrt, the ex-rort land second baseman, Is the most highly-prized member of thelHrooklyn team . , . Boss Larry MacPlini! had this to say of Pete recently: "Every time I talk about a possible trade.

King Kong Clayton gets his second crack at rough, tough Paul Bozell, Woman Champion Clara Mortensen displays her feminine mat prowess against Gladys Nolan, Bobby Chick takes on Eddie Rogers and Sgt. Bob Kenaston goes against Leo Mortensen, brother of Clara. That's the all-star grapple pro gram Promoter Mack Llllard has lined up for clients visiting the Medford armory tonight. It looks like one. of the best cards of the fall and winter season, and the lmpressarlo hint ed that it might be well for fans to obtain their tickets early, as a huge crowd Is ex pected to turn out. The first match will get under way at 8 o'clock sharp. The match that has downtown experts already talking to them selves is the Clayton-Bozell re turn brawl, slated for the top spot. The boys will go one hour or the best two falls out of three, and if a great majority of fans are correct, Clayton is due to get even with Bozell for the defeat he suffered last week when the latter slapped on a pair of Boston crabs to gain a hard-fought triumph. . Clayton Confident. Clayton Is a rather silent col ored boy; he never does much talking, so when he claims he will take Bozell to the cleaners, grapple addicts are inclined to listen. The Birmingham Negro is confident he will turn the tables on his slightly dirty op ponent, although Bozell, also never one to do a great deal of popping off, merely sneers at the Clayton threat. The two gals will take off between the semi-final and the main event, going 43 minutes or until one or the other ob tains two tumbles. Miss Mor tensen, well known here from several previous local engage ments, figures to defeat the Kansas City miss, although the champion admits she may have a time doing so. Miss Nolan, a pretty blonde, will have a slight weight advantage over the tltleholdcr, at 140 pounds to 136. The challenger expects to cause La Mortensen no little trouble with arm and hammer locks, her favorite and most potent maneuvers. Clean Match Scheduled. One clean and sparkling match is slated, that between Bobby Chick and Eddie Rogers, the leg artist.
