PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 19S9. Lsual Pre -Game Rose Bowl Feuding Strangely Missing This Year EVEN FOOTBALL SCRIBES SILENT Atmosphere Calm in Com parison to Last Season's Duke-Trojan Word Tiff, By Robert Myers. Los Angeles, Dec. 13. (IP) It is undoubtedly all for the best, but the pre-game Rose Bowl discussions over Tennes ice and Southern California seem strangely placid. . Here it has been six days since the two were officially selected for the Pasadena at traction and there hasn't been an insult passed. Everyone, including the rival football writers who have a way of stirring things up, is com pletely satisfied. Some have even gone so far as to predict the New Year's Day affair should be a tremendous ball game. AggUs Not Mentioned. No one out here, for in stance, has publicly centured the thought that for the second straigth year the western host has given the go-by the nation's No. 1 voted team Texas Chris tian in 1938 and Texas A. and M. this year. Most apparently, the boys figure an outfit good enough to remain undefeated and un tied two years running, down In a section where they play football for keeps, Is good enough for any bowl. That is the unmatched record of Major Bob Neyland'g Tennessee. This calm, contented, atmos phere was not always thus, however. Just one year ago the air between Los Angeles and Durham, N. C, was filled With a great number of words, most of them on the sarcastic aide or worse, as Duke headed west to meet Southern Cali fornia. By game time, what with charges, counter charges, the famous lace pantle incident and whatnot, a first class feud had been worked up, and as a mat ter of fact, the sniping be tween California and North Carolina is still going on at this late date. Other Feud Recalled. The Washington-Pitt game in 1937 started out the same way. Poor Washington, it took a beat ing for inviting oft-invited Pitt, and then took a beating from Pitt. Now comes the 1940 Rose Bowl and it appears that all the shootln' and shoutln' will be done on the playing field and nowhere else. That, as stated before, is un doubtedly as it should be. But It still seems awfully quiet around town. Til San Francisco, Dec. 19. (U.R) The western squad of 22 col lege football stars for the an nual Shrine East-West game here New Year'R day, was com pleted today. The squad, chosen from schools west of the Mississippi river, Included: Ends: Anahu, Santa Clara; Shirk and Ivy, Oklahoma; Crumbakcr,, Kansas State.

A.'s ail-American Negro back, was not invited. Unofficially it was said he was still eligible for baseball next spring and playing in the Shrine game would disqualify him. U. S.-ARGHNTINA TRADE AGREEMENT HITS SNAG Buenos Aires, Dec. 15. () Negotiations between the Unl ted States and Argentina for a new trade agreement have re ceived a setback, It was reliably reported today, because of the American delegates' insistence upon an Import quota for Ar gcntlne linseed.

Mini Football Win Over Michigan V oted Top Upset By Sid Feder. New York, Dec. 15. OT Prof. Bob Zuppke, that magic man of the Illlnl, pulled the biggest rabbit out of the hat in 1939. The nations sports experts, voting In the ninth annual Asso ciated Press poll on the year's outstanding surprises and up sets, today selected the mid season victory of Prof. Bob's well-walloped Illinois football ers over the previously hlgh-and-mlghty Michigan Wolverine as No. 1 on the list. The upset laid 'em in the aisles even more than the as tonishing comeback of the Iowa footballers in general and their 7-8 win over Notre Dame in particular, the experts 80 of of them from 28 states de cided. Third on tho list came two ton Tony Galcnto and the job of work his left hand did on Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis and Lou Nova. Tho ex perts decided that when- the barrel-shaped slugger sat Cham pion Joe on the scat of his pretty silk panties It was worth 18 points on the surprise list, and when his dainty southpaw hook flattened Nova it was worth 37 14 more, thereby giv ing Galcnto 63 i points in the balloting. The University of Washing ton's fine grid finish after los ing its first four games was good for two points. TILE CAGERS DEFEAT C.

Medford Mail Tribune CLEAN BOYS 10 MEET VILLAINS Can a pair of good, clean and scientific grapplers defeat a couple of bad-acting, villainous matmen?

The armory will be dark for two weeks during the Yuletide and New Year's week-ends.

The Clara Mortensen-Gladys Nolan rematch was made at the request of Miss Nolan, who gave Clara the battle of her life" last Monday, and the large number of customers who witnessed the two gals attempt to tear each other apart. Miss Nolan, until tho champion turned rough near the end of the match, had the better of the milling, and she fully expects to defeat the title holder when they meet again Leo Mortensen, brother of Clara and a greatly improved matman, will tangle with Eddie Rogers in the opening event, a six-rounder. i TO SCOn TONIGHT Dallas, Dec. 15.
