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.

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

Nile Kinnick Named Year's
Outstanding Male Athlete
By Sid Feder.
New York, Dec. 11. ?) By a margin just about as narrow
as Iowa's football victories over Notre Dame and Purdue, all
America Nile Kinnick was named the outstanding athlete of
1939 by the nation's sports experts today.
In as close a battle of ballots . 1
as the Associated Press annual
poll ever witnessed in its nine
year history, the Hawkeyes' 60
minutebackfield ace won out
over jolting Joe DiMaggio, the
New York Yankees' "Mr. Base
ball," by the narrow margin of
eight points.
Of the 61 experts who voted
for the three outstanding male
athletes, amateur or profession
al, 21 selected the Iowa young
ster with the pleasing personal
ity as their top choice; three
picked him for second place and
ten for third. Votes were count
ed on a basis of three points for
first, two for second and one for
third.
Kinnick's total was 79 points.
DiMaggio, first-place choice of
11 balloters, had 71. Joe Louis
drew five first-place votes and
