MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1942 ni o mi ml t P a a e s Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Say:: Pickem Climbs Onto Limb For "Bowl" Guesses Clnn h Millar CTld WMOII gaspod iU last Prof. I. Pickem, self-styled pigskin-prophet, has been working out behind closed gates with his crystal ball In an eilort to come up with some super-duper "bowl game" picks. The anguish he suffered dur ing the wacky regular campaign was terrible to behold. As a matter of fact, If the season had lasted another week Pickem would have gone quietly to permanent residence in pad ded cell. Now, back In fine mental form, he climbs blissfully out on the New Year's Day umD ana offers the following on the games of January 1: ROSE BOWL. As proved all year, nothing Is impossible when 22 huskies start belting each other around on the grid iron. (Witness Holy Cross over Boston College, Auburn over Georgia. Redskins over Bears, etc.) Therefore, U. C. L. A. COULD defeat Georgia and Frank Sinkwich. . But as ' Pickem sees it. coast confer ence football this season was ' ' far below the national aver ' age and the Uclans won't do anything to bring It up. The ' professor likes the Bulldogs from the deep south. 27 to 13. J SHRINE GAME. Year after .year the East all-stars have the All-America ns, the West squad just bunch of guys named "Joe." Yet, consistently, the West wins - with better team 'work. Nevertheless, Pickem can't see how Jurkovlch and Kennedy can match Governall, Daley, Dove, etc. The East, by 14 to 7. . ' SUGAR BOWL. This may be the best battle of the day. Tulsa, the only perfect-record team in the nation, among the major schools, has a great passing combination (Glenn Dobbs to Saxon Judd), while Tennessee has the fine Bobby Clfera and reputation for pure savagery on the field. The plckster, out of the hat, likes Tulsa, about 20 to 14. ... ORANGE BOWL. Until the Holy Cross debacle, Boston cot lege was considered tops la the country, the "Chicago Bears" of college football. Alabama, while plenty potent, wasn't sensation al. On the theory that B. C. has forgotten the Holy Cross stunner and will return to its true form, Pickem selects the easterners, T to 0. COTTON BOWL. Georgia ' Tech. prior to facing Georgia la the final game of the regu lar season, was unbeaten and . untied. Clint Castleberry, the freshman flash, was being tab bed AU-American. Then came Georgia to spoil a perfect . season, but even so the Yel lowjacketi ended with one of the best records In America. Pickem believes they will trim a Texas Longhorn eleven that lost to Northwestern and Texas Christian. Scorei Tech 21. Texas 7. SUN BOWL. The 2nd Army Air Force Bombers from Spo kane, with a bunch of ex-college and professional stars, appear too powerful for Hardin-Sim-mona of the Border conference. The fliers to win by 20 to 8.

DUNSMUIR COACH TAKES NEW POST Georgia, TEAMS KEYED TO FIGHTING PITCH: Sentiment Grows For Under dog Ukes Role of Fran kie Sinkwich Doubtful. By Leo H. Petersen United Press Sports Editor Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 31 U.B Two rough, tough ball clubs came up to the final prelim- inaries for their Rose Bowl foot ball game today. Coaches Babe Horrell of UCLA and Wallace Butts of Georgia had their players keyed to such a high pitch that they were bickering among themselves. That's the best sign in the world they are ready for tomorrow's annual blue-ribbon classic. Butts was leary lest his squad had been sharpened too fine. "Maybe we've worked the boys a little too hard," he said. "I'll let them off easy again to day." Horrell pronounced his Bruins In perfect condition. "If we lose, we'll have no alibis," the Babe said. He also planned only a light workout for the team on the Rose Bowl gridiron this after noon. Latest odds still favored Geo gla but growing sentiment was indicated for the big UCLA elev en. The Bruins looked good In workouts yesterday and they might be a lot tougher than pre game dope indicates. The role Frankle Sinkwich, the Bulldogs' running and pass ing -wizard, will play In the game was still doubtful. He will start and Coach Butts is counting on him even though the right ankle he twisted in a workout last week is still painful. Hurta Ankle Again The All American fullback hurt his right ankle again in practice yesterday. He was running through a sig nal drill when he suddenly twist ed the weak ankle and was forced to stop practice. "Frankle Is the kind of a boy who will play a game on cour age alone, if necessary." Butts said. "He'll do all right." But the fact remained Frankle will not be at his best. He won't be able to punt or run like he used to. He can't shift quickly without pain, but he said the ankle felt okay as long as he runs straight ahead. So Fireball Frankle's role will probably be one of passing and Inspirational leadership. There is nothing wrong with his throw ing arm. Because he is the cool est player on the Georgia team. Coach Butts Is sure to start him for the steadying Influence he has on his teammates. If Frankle should falter. Charles Trlppl wil be ready to take over. Should Georgia win. he may be the hero of the game for he has been coming along fast and can run, throw and kick. For UCLA, the offensive bur den again will fall on Bobby Waterfield. His passing Is always a threat, but should Georgia's air .defense prove too tight, he can also run with the ball.

Cm Mall Tribune Waal Ada, Battle ANDY KERR TEAM GIRDS TO AVENGE PREVIOUS LOSSES Paul Governali Leads Great Array of Stars Holling bery Is Pessimistic. By Dan McGuIre United Press Correspondent San Francisco, Dec. '31 U.B Odds favoring the All-East team to defeat the West In the 18th Annual Shrine Crippled Children's Benefit game tomor row were quoted at 10-6 today. Reports from Santa Clara, where the East squad has been billeted, claimed Coach Andy Kerr had his players keyed up to avenge the sorry showing nf their predecessors in the past five Shrine contests which show three West wins and two ties. The East's rttitude was ex emplified by a statement from "Passin' Paul" Governall, Co' umbla quarterback, who stood out In a long offensive drill yes terday. After completing tosses to ends Dave Schreiner of Wis consin and Bob Dove of Notre Dame with monotonous regular ity, Governali said: "I can do better than that and I will with a little more work." Kerr has not named a starting eleven but the "A" team in prac tice has consisted of Schreiner and Dove at the flanks: All- Americans Dick Wildung of Minnesota and Al Wistert -jf Michigan at the tackles; Harry Wright, Notre Dame, and John BUlman, Minnesota, guards: Spencer Moseley, Yale, center: George Ceithaml, Michigan, quarterback; Governali and Bill Daley, Minnesota, halfbacks, and Steve Filipowicz, Fordham, full back. Kerr and his aides Dr. George Houser of Minnesota and Dud DeGroot of Rochester still are worried that Coach Orfn (Babe) Hollingbery la trying to put something over on them with his pronouncements that the West has no passer to match Governall, Daley, or Filipowicz. Afraid of Passes I haven't forgotten that the West has beaten us by passes be fore when they were supposed to lack capable pitchers," Kerr said. "We aren't going to be caught napping this year for we've had plenty of pass defense work.' ' Hollingbery, who has been known more as an optimist than a pessimist during his 20-odd years at Washington State, has gone out of character with dire predictions on the outcome of the game. "This team hasn't the balance of previous West squads," he de clared at Stanford. But the general feeling of gloom was broken when Glenn (Pop) Warner, the "old fox" of the gridiron, walked over to the practice field from his Palo Alto home and described the West as a "dream team." Hollingbery's starting lineup may be as follows: Ends. Al Beals, Santa Clara, and Nick Suseoff, Washington State; tackles, Ed Stamm, Stan ford, and Norm Verry, Southern California; guards, Bruno Ban duccl and Churck Taylor, both of Stanford; quarterback, Wlll'p Zapalac, Texas A. & M.; half backs, Bob Kennedy, Washing ton State, and Bob Steuber, Mis souri; fullback, Tom Roblin, Oregon. Stamm and Kennedy were elected co-captains by their teammates. In the overall history of the game, the West has triumphed on 10 occasions with five de cisions going to the East. Hunters are expected to add 139 million pounds of meat to the nation's food supply in the next 12 months.

(U.R) The best dog In the coun try can't hold a candle to an Alabama cyclone at chasing up squirrels for hunter. U. U. Kamp, Gadsden, Ala., said to day in a prize fib that won him the Burlington Liars' club world's championship for 1942. "Other hunters can brag about their dogs all they want to, but for the best huntin' I'll take a good old Alabama twister any time," Kemp in sisted in the whopper that gave him possession for 1943 of the club's diamond studded (10-cent store) lyre, emblamatic of the title which has been bestowed annually since 1929. Once Upon A Time "Why, once I was standing In the window of my home on Sand mountain, watching trees and buildings sailing over the house," Kemp related. "I noticed a tree going with a squirrel in it. Calling Madge, my wife, to bring me my old rifle I went out in the yard, and in the next 30 minutes( I shot 10 squirrels out of trees that went sailing over. "Now, you tell me of a dog that will top that, chasing 'cm right in front of your gun with out you moving out of your tracks! I could easily have killed more, but 10 squirrels a day ii the limit in Alabama." Kemp was the choice of the club's officers to succeed R. C. Cross, Wausau, Wis., who was the 1941 champion. Participat ing in the annual New Year's eve winnowing and sifting by which the best lie of 1942 was chosen from 6,000 entries were Club President Otis C. Hulett, Vice President Gilbert Karcher and Secretary L. J. Stang. Cited for honorable mention were Henry R. Gibbons, Port land, Me., who said he picked up his fallen arches to bridge a river and let his regiment cross; Fred F. Prior, Ashland, 111., who told how 300 passeng ers aboard a liner foiled a tor pedo attack by gripping the rail and lifting the ship out of the water, and Travis Gissendanner, Newport News, Va., who said a fall in his automobile in the Blue Ridge mountains created such a Jar in the car radio that it knocked the needle off a rec ord being played at a Richmond station 100 miles away. Hulett reported that the en tries fell off this year and urged more participation by men and women in the nation's service, although he conceded that it would be difficult to tell lies which would top some serv icemen'! actual experiences. He said the club had designated Mary Jo McCarthy, Burlington's first WAAC at Daytona Beach, Fla., as "recruiting officer" to enroll feminine prevaricators among the women's auxiliary army corps. Eliminating use of asbestos textiles In unnecessary products will save approximately 750.000 pounds of these textiles for war purposes. What Aleut 1943? . . . W ROGER W.
