TAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY", DECEMBER 7, 1942 Sport Graphs o Billy llulen Says: Coast Conference Elevens Good To Outside Enemies 1 Probably never has Pacific Coast conference football suf ' fered so much in comparison with the brand played else- ' where In the nation as It did in , this war year of 1842. The only coast circuit clubs which didn't get their ears ' knocked off by intersections! ' opponent at least one were : California, Oregon and Wash- , Ington. Perhaps the fact that they didn t play any "outside ' competition has something to do with it. Wait, though, there Is another team that didn't bow to a for eign foe. Oregon State tied Michigan State, 7 to 7, In its lone lntersectional contest, and that's a better mark than any of the other western seaboard elevens those that did engage in such struggling can point to. Of 10 lntersectional battles Joined by Pacific Coast loop out fits, our boys hung up the gaudy record of one victory, eight de feats and one deadlock. And, thty weren't a bit par ticular to whom they lost. Tsams from lh middle west, in deep south, the southwest and ev.n that "minor leaguer lsh" Rocky Mountain confer nee administered wallopings to the lads this slda of the Sierra Nevada and the Cas cades. Only tha eastern sector failed to get In on the pickings. El Trojan of U. S. C. topped all the rest in the matter of being kind to lntersectional op ponents. The Los Angeles eg gretation obligingly dropped three affairs in as many tries, opening with a 13 to 27 loss to Tulane, followed by a 12 to 28 give to Ohio State and ending with a zero to 13 present to Notre Dame. ' Stanford went tha Trojans one better as regards margin of defeat at the hands of Notre Dame, the Indiana doing It by 0 to 27. UCLA, In one outing of lntnr fectlonal flavor, failed by one point to tie Texas Christian. The score was 6 to 7. Washington State got away to a good start by downing Michigan State, 25 to 13, but ended on a sour note when they traveled to College Station and played Texas A. and M. to a 0 to 21 verdict. The Cougars, at least, can boast they alone of the coast conference elevens were able to whip on lntersec tional opponent. Idaho and Montana, tha loop's "breather" members, dipped In to the Rocky Mountain confer ence for a couple of tilts, and the results followed the pattern designed by their big brother teams. Idaho lost 10 uian, to 13 and Montana fell to Brlgham Young, 6 to 12. It has indeed been a sad year for coast conference football, and a party to be held In Pasa dena January 1, 1043, won't brighten things. We feci sory for the coast team which wins Its way to the Rose Bowl. Be it U.S.C. or U.C.L.A. or W.S.C., the beating It will receive isn't going to be pleasant for the citizenry re siding on the shores or. the blue Pacific. It would be different, mar be. If Frank Sinkwlch broke a leg between now and then. But this probably won't hap pen. This time It will be Georgia doing the marchlnq through, and all we poor coast people can do is sit back and take It.
