HUSKIES ON TOP
San Francisco, Oct. 29 (U.R)
The "run for the roses" was on
in full swing today as wide
open as the proverbial barn door.
Banged around by the Univer
sity of Washington Huskies on
Saturday, 13-7; and 33-6 a couple
of weeks before that by San
Diego Navy, the Trojans of the
University of Southern Califor
nia appear just about out of the
Y running for their third successive
bid to the Pasadena Rose Bowl.
Definitely "in" are the Hus
kies and the UCLA Bruins. Offic
ially, Coach Ralph (Pest) Welch's
club is leading the Pacific Coast
conference standings with four
wins and one loss. Tied for sec
ond are UCLA and El Trojan.
But the men of Troy are in for
another tough time this coming
Saturday when they face some
thing a little different in the way
of competition in untied and un
defeated St. Mary's Gaels. Coach
Jimmy Phelan's club is favored
to win this one and with a week's
rest under its belt it should be In
fine fettle.
The Bruins, who whipped Uni
versity of Oregon Friday night
by a 12-0 count are idle for the
next two weeks. Then they, too,
must entertain the galloping
Gaels from Moraga.
y UCLA and USC also clash
with each other in the final game
on Dec. 1 so that puts Wash
ington in the spot where it can
win the bid, hands down, by
getting by Oregon, Oregon State,
Idaho and Washington State, in
that order.

state championship.
Upstate sports writers are be
ginning to concede Medford's
Black Tornado the state football

imagine it hurts them. North
Bend, the only other undefeated
class A team in the southern Ore
gon district, swept over Myrtle
Point, 39 to 6, Saturday. It ap
pears the Bulldogs and Medford
will battle it out to see which
team represents district 2 in the
race for state laurels.
McMinnville has a tight grip
on district 3' northern divis
ion crown while Columbia
Prep of Portland is also un
beaten but was held to a tie by
Central Catholic Friday night.
Corvallis is a definite contend
er for the district 3, southern
divitien title, although Cottage
Grove boasts a perfect record
against smaller schools. They
rolled over Roseburg, 21-0, in
their biggest test to data and
will have to be considered for
the stakes.
In district 1, Hood River and
The Dalles appear far ahead in
the race. LaGrande and Baker
loom as outside possibilities, but
aren't generally ranked along
with the Columbia river teams.
Grant still dominates play in
the Portland city league, making
up district 4. The Generals

Grants Pass completed three

Of Medford's total yardage,
215 of it was picked up on

The largest crowd in Grants

five and six thousand, saw the
game. Several fine compliments
were paid to Medford by Grants

league season half over, six of
the 10 teams still were in the

appeared the fight would con
tinue down to the final game.
Green Bay, Cleveland and De

one in the western division, and
Boston and Washington each had
won three and lost one in the
east. Philadelphia Eagles were
close behind with two-and-two.

the Cleveland Rams their first
loss, 28 to 14, before a record
crowd at Philadelphia. Both
teams scored during the last 50
seconds of the game.
Excellent passing paced Wash

New York.
Green Bay, the defending
champion, rode over the Chicago
Cardinals, 33 to 14. Don Hutson
scored 21 points for the Packers.
Detroit made good use of the
"breaks" to defeat the Chicago
Bears, 16 to 10. An intercepted
pass gave Detroit its first score.
A Boston touchdown outweigh
ed two Pittsburgh field goals in
a 10 to 6 victory. The touchdown
was set up by an intercepted
pass in the last period.
