TEXANS' REVENGE
FOR B(M SLIGHT
71 To 7 Whacking Seen By
West Coast Writers as
Effort To Humiliate Oregon
Los Angeles, Dec. 8. (P)
There was a pretty general sus
picion among the football fans
up and down the Pacific coast
today that the University of
Texas was torn by unrequited
affection for the Rose Bowl when
she humiliated the University of
Oregon with a 71-7 trouncing
Saturday.
Oregon's s,l s t e r Institution
Oregon State, Ignored Texas In
selecting Duke as a Rose Bowl
opponent. West coast sports
writers agreed that revenge
played a part in the crushing of
Oregon. Their comment:
L. H. Gregory, Portland Ore
gonlan: "Texas was simply try
ing to Impress the coast with the
mistake Oregon State made In
Inviting Duke to the Rose Bowl."
Al Santoro, Los Angeles Ex
aminer: "It seems that the rum
ors had reached Austin that the
Oregon State officials had doubt
ed the Texans' ability to whip
Oregon, therefore had not in
vited them to the Rose Bowl."
Paul Zimmerman, Los Angeles
Times: "The boys down In Aus
tin turned on the heat Just to
show that they were a little up
set In not getting a bid."
Royal Brougham, Seattle Post
Intelligencer: "The way those
Texas teams behaved Saturday,
you would have thought the boys
from the Lone Star state were
trying to avenge the massacre on
the Alamo."
This from Lon Stlner, Oregon
State coach: "Conference teams
often get so keyed up trying to
beat each other they suffer let
downs for Intersection! games.
Texas Is undoubtedly a great
club, but they wouldn't do that
to Oregon State. We're only
farmer boys but we're plenty
tough."

Bill Bowerman, Medford high
football and track coach and a
first lieutenant. Infantry, In the
U. S. army reserve, returned
here last night from Vancouver
(Wash.) barracks where he took
a physical examination for a call

that he passed the exam, said he
expected to receive his orders
to report early this week. Bow
erman said he expected to be
ordered to report for duty at Ft.
Lawton, Seattle, after being
switched to the Interceptor com

coaching and teaching duties
contingent upon his being called
into active service. Russ Ache

shall give a good account of our
selves . . .
"There Is the closest accord
with the powerful American
naval and air forces and with
the strong, efficient forces of
The Netherlands East Indies."
Some observers believed It
was possible that American war
ships had already met Japanese
naval forces in battle some
where) between Hawaii and tha
Philippines.
One or more Japanese air
craft carriers, presumably es
corted by strong naval forma
tions, were reported to have en
gaged in the opening attack
against Honolulu, and it seemed
a fair conjecture that U. S.
dreadnaughts were in hard pur
suit or actual contact with tha
invaders.
In the Far East, a British
communique said Japanese air
raiders killed 63 persons and
wounded 133 today in a violent
assault on Singapore, Britain'
"Gibraltar of the Orient," but
that Japanese troops were be
ing "mopped up" In an attempt
ed land invasion of Malaya from
the north.
The Japanese announced aa
agreement between Japan and
Thailand for transit of Japan
ese troops through Thailand
presumably for an attack on
British Malaya, site of Britain-
great Far East fortress of Singa
pore, or British Burma. Both
adjoin Thailand
Japanese troops were reported
to have landed at two point
on the Gulf of Slam, far down
the Thai coast near Malaya. '
An official British announce
ment at Singapore said Japan

Troops at two places in onusn
Malaya, near the Thailand fron
tier, had been put to flight.
Japanese forces still remain
ing on the beach were being
heavily machine-gunned, th
British said.
Domel, the Japanese news
agency, was quoted as saying
that Japanese and British troopi
already were fighting In Thai
land. A Reuters dispatch said tt
was announced officially in
Bangkok, the Thai capital, that
little Thailand had ceased resis
ting a Japanese army temporar
ily and that negotiations wera
under way.
Pan American Airways re
ported that Japanese bomber
"smashed" Wake island, and
that only garbled radio signal
were being received from tha
airway's station at Hongkong.
Meanwhile, the Japanese mas
ter plan was slowly emerging
from the pattern of attacks, and
at first glance it appeared that
the Japanese were attempting
to Immobilize the main bases of
the Anglo-American fleets un
til the Thailand-Malay peninsula
drive had gathered momentum.
