Two Highest Grid
Honors Given To
Lefty Bob Smith
All Medford joins In extend
ing congratulations to Bob
Smith, University of Oregon
halfback, whose selection to
play for the West In the an
nual Shrine charity game fol
lowed on the heels of his being
voted the most valuable player
on this year's Webfoot aggre
gation . . . those two honors
are just about the highest any
college- grid player could re
ceive, except possibly being
named on one of the bona fide
all-Amerlcan teams, and this
city Is justly proud of him . . .
Of all the fine football play
ers Medford has turned out,
strangely there hasn't been
many backs who have enjoyed
major-college grid careers . . .
only two, in fact, in the past
dozen years Bill Bowerman,
and now Bob Smith . , . the
number will be increased to
three when Bob Olson, who
has one more year of competi
tion at Oregon State, Is gradu
ated ...
Although 11 is far too early
to definitely state where cer
tain members of this year's
local football team plan to
continue their grid activities.

UP 1,365 YARDS
Michigan's Tommy Harmon
Second With 1,356 Yards
Eakin Third With 1,342
By Gail Fowler
Seattle. Dec. 14. (IP) It's so
close there probably will be a
recount, but Kenny Washington,
the great Negro halfback from
the University of California at
Los Angeles, ranks today as the
nation s leading gridiron ground
gainer of 1939.
Washington's sterling perfor
mance against Southern Califor
nia last week send him from
third to first place Just a scant
nine yards ahead of Tom Har
mon of Michigan, who In turn
is just 14 yards ahead of Kay
Eakin of Arkansas.
The blanket finish means a
thorough recount, the American
football statistical bureau, which
compiled the figures, announced.
The recheck will be made be
fore the bureau announces its
final, official figures.
Here are the figures for total
offense gains from both rushes
and passes of the three leaders:
Washington In 10 games he
carried the ball 170 times,
passed 80 times for a total of
260 plays: he gained 828 yards
rushing and 537 passing for a
total of 1.388.
Harmon In eight games he
carried the ball 129 times,
passed 94 times for a total of
223 plays; He gained 888 yards
rushing and 488 passing for a
total of 1,356 yards.
Eakin In ten games he car
ried the ball 119 times, passed
193 times for a total of 312
plays; He gained 372 yards on
the ground and 970 In the air
for 1,342 yards.
Others among the top ten in
total offense, with the number
of yards gained, are:
Junius Plunkett, Vanderbilt,
1,129; Grenville Lansdell, South
ern California, 1,119; Paul
Chrlstman, Missouri, 1,095; Jim
Lalane, North Carolina, 1,001;

Lou Ambers Voted Comeback
King of Year;
By Sid Feder
New York, Dec. 14. (P) After considerable wrangling In
the ballot box, the sports exnerts of the nation decided to
day that Lou Ambers' punches paraded Just a little bit farth
er along the comeback trail in 1939 than old Lefty Mose
Grove's "dead soupbone".
Two-ton Tony Galento also I
figured in a three-cornered bat
tle of vote's in the Associated
Press' ninth annual poll for the
leading comeback of the year
by an individual. Yet, while
these three led the list, the 73
voting exports couldn't get to
gether on any one comebacker
who stood head and shoulders
above all the others. Altogether
67 athletes were nominated.
The voters were asked to
name their choices for first, sec
ond and third places, with bal
lots counting three, two and one
points, respectively. On this bas
is, Ambers, who exploded the
fistic theory that "they never
come back" by regaining the
world lightweight championship
from Henry Armstrong, drew 13
nominations for first place, five
for second and seven for third
for a total of 56 points. This se
lection as No. 1 comebacker
thereby topped off a year in
which the little Herkimer (N.Y.)
hurricane became the first fight
er to win back the 135-pound
crown from the man who took
it away from him.
Six points back of Little Lou
was Grove, the greatest left-
hand pitcher of his generation. I
In 1938 Lefty walked off the!
mound one day with his pitch-
ing arm gone suddenly and mys -
teriously "dead". This year, the
39-year-old Boston Red Sox vet -
cran came back to win 15 games

'DAIRYMEN RALLY
TO TRIM PACIFIC
HOOPERS. 30-27
A blistering rally In the sec
ond half, after trailing at the
intermission. 6 to 14, gave Med
ford's Lost River Dairy basket
ball club a 30 to 27 victory
over the barnstorming Pacific
university cagers in the high
school gym last night.
Tonight, Pacific moves to
Ashland to tangle with Jean
Eberhart's Southern Oregon Col
lege of Education five, with
Butt Falls high and Ingle's
Cowboys slated for the prelim
inary game starting at 7:30 in
the college gym.
It was a pair of former Med
ford high stars Billy Piche
and Paul Lowcry who sparked
the Dairymen's second-half ral
ly. They each scored seven
points in the final 20 minutes
to pull their team from behind
and keep them in front.
Pacific scored first and main
tained its lead until midway
through the third period, when
three field goals one by Bill
Hoxie and two by Darrell Leav
ens plus a couple ' of free
tosses by Leavens, deadlocked
the score at 14-all. Lowery
then put the Dairy ahead for
the first time by dropping In a
two-pointer, and after Pacific's
soph flash, Roy McCabc, tied
it. again at 18 to 18, Lowery
once more broke ' loose for a
field goal to give the locals a
20 to 18 lead, which they never
relinquished.
Piche. member of last year's
Tiger state title runners-up.
then went to work in the Jourth
period. He sunk a free throw
to increase his team's lead to
21 to 18, then hit three field
goals in rapid succession to
make it 27 to 19. The colle
gians desperately attempted to
pull it from the fire In the clos
ing minutes, but Plche and Low
ery had done their work too
well and the Dairy lead was too
great to overcome.
Pacific's defense proved al
most impregnable In the first
half, with only Leavens, Plche
and Lowery being able to crack
it for field goals, but In the
second half the locals started to
sift through and sink cripple
shots.
McCabe of Pacific was high
scorer with 12 tallies, followed
by Leavens of the Dairy with
10 and Piche and Lowery with
nine apiece.
In the preliminary, Ingle's
Cowboys of Ashland, last year's
A.A.U. champions, defeated
Lewis Super Service of Med
ford. 26 to 22.
