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:

Kenny Washington, U. C. L.
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.
Argentine experts were tc-
ported to have objected to the
quota although they were will'
ing to grant a reduction of tar
iffs. Cm Mat! TrtbuM want ad.

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.

CLEAN BOYS 10
MEET VILLAINS
Can a pair of good, clean and
scientific grapplers defeat a
couple of bad-acting, villainous
matmen?
The answer to this question
will be told in the armory ring
next Monday night when Bobby
Chick and King Kong Clayton,
currently the two finest legiti
mate workmen in southern Ore
gon, face Sgt. Bob Kenaston
and Paul Bozell in a four-out-of-six-fall
team match the first
such brawl to be staged here
in several months.
The program, which also will
feature Woman Champion Glara
Mortensen meeting Ondys No
lan, blonde tigress, in a rematch,
will be the last until January
8. The armory will be dark for
two weeks during the Yuletide
and New Year's week-ends.
Chick and Clayton are con
fident they can whip the two
villains in a tandem affair and
Kenaston and Bozell are just as
certain they can take the clean
ies apart.
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

Sharp-punching Tony Olivera of
San Francisco, recognized in

his ten-round decision over Lou
Salica of Brooklyn, N. Y., last
night, had big ideas today for
taking undisputed possession of
the title.
Olivera must meet . Georgia
Pace of Cleveland for the crown

would land a bout with the
National Boxing association
champion, who is recognized in
46 states.
The aggressor almost all the
way, Olivera took several hard
blows in the first three rounds
last night, but began to score
in the fourth and wound up
the battle with a clean edge.
He weighed 119 to Salica's
117.
The bout was one of three

and brought in $6,200.
