PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1943 Fumhlitis Disappears In Practice Sessions Play ere Confident of Win By Lisle Shoemaker . United Press Correspondent ' ' Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 29 (U.R) filowly but steadily the word is getting around that Coach Jeff Cravath's Trojans from USC are exceedingly good risks in their roles of 2-1 underdogs against Washington's Huskies this Satur day. We put on our spying gar ments to track the thing down and are now able to report it is more than a rumor. Th word came straight from the Trojan Warhorse's mouth right at Bovard Field in Los Angeles where the Cravothmen do their daily workouts. The Trojan players them. selves think they're going to win and that's a good sign for USC roosters who practically gave up uie minute the game was signed. Here's the way it simmers down: The men from Troy haven't lost in collegiate compe tition this season, dropping only to two tough service teams the Fourth Air Force Terrors and the rugged San Diego navy team. ' Then there's the angle of their recovery from their long and serious siege of fumbling. This is probably the key to the Trojan win attitude. It Is no secret the Trojans were fumbling durins their regular season practice schedules. But In these last days of workots the Troymen have found they can hang onto the Dau and stUl work their T-for- matlon. .Saena Spearhead Although Cravath has been quoted widely as promising an almost exclusive passing offense, our spying report hint other wise. j no starting eackiieid is a running backfield built around little Eddie Saenz, the unherald ed '"scat" running lefthalf who leads the Trojans in ground gaining tor the season. ' .' Ainslie Bell, the "mystery' quarterback so called because He's played so little in the regu lar season you have to look up the roster to find out how be spells his name definitely gets the starting call. This, probably, Is Cravath's chief strategy plan. It means that regular quarterback Jim Hardy will stay in the stalls un til the setup reaches the bub bling point. Just what that point la has the experts over the coals and will remain Cravath's eeret until unfolded. Bell Is the better passer, Hardy the bet ter runner at least the more experienced runner. Defensively the Trojans are aet Actually, they haven't wor ried as much about their own goal line as they have about in vading Washington's taered ground. . Football Briefs Miami, Fla., Dec. 29 (U.B Coach Bernte Moore of Louisi ana State executed a neat re verse today and admitted that his Bayou Bengals actually 'looked good" In a lively work out for their Orange Bowl foot ball game with Texas A. & M.
