6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore Tues., Dee. 20, 1949 AH CHOO!' Ohio State Team Sniffles In 'Sun' During Workouts PASADENA. Calif., Dec. 20- (m "Suddy Cadifordia ah ehoo!" That's the sniffled reaction of Ohio State's Buckeyes after two hard opening workouts for their Jan. i Kose iiowi engagement with California. The first drill was held In a driving morning rain; the sec ond in a penetrating afternoon wind. The result: Right end Tom Watson caught a cold, and Coach Wes Feslcr said, "We may have several more cases, too." But the Buck head man defend ed the drills. "Wo needed the work, and the boys will snap out of any thing they might catch now." There was contact work right off the bat, with the first and second string linos butting heads in a long charging and blocking session. Look Impressive The boys from Ohio Impressed observers with their size, speed and spirit even under the damp ening circumstances. The Buckeyes, in turf parlance, could qualify as superior -mud-ders. They overcame a 10-point deficit to edge Pittsburgh, 14-10, in rain and goo. They also polish ed off Wisconsin, 21-0, on an off track. And with southern California In the grip of perhaps its wet test winter In at least six years, there's a chance that the Fes lerltes may get another chance to show their mudablllty against Cal, which Is slightly favored. The situation brings to mind the great goo battle of 1934, in which Lou-Llttle's lightly regard ed Columbia Lions slithered past the vaunted Stanfords, 70. No body out here, though, Is taking Ohio State or anyone in the Big ten llghtlv. Afler all. Fesler Satisfied Aside from the colds, Fesler said he was satisfied with the first day drills and planned an other double dose today. The only "crips," halfbacks Jimmy Clark and Vic Janowlcz, looked quite limber. The first string was in tact except for Bob McCullough at center, in place of all-conference Jack Llningor, still in Co lumbus with his ailing wife. Fesler made a hit with west coast writers by allowing them free access to the practices the first time this has happened since the Big 10 became a Rose Bowl "partner." He said he will keep the gates open daily. GIANTS CONTINUE SHIFTS NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (IP) The New York Giants are contin uing their face-lifting operations.

Fighter Claims Joe Louis Hits As Hard As Ever By RUSS NEWLAND OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 20 (IP) You can take the word of box er Al Hoosman that retired heavyweight champion Joe Louis "hits just as hard as ever." Hoosman, sparring partner to the Brown Bomber when he was the titleholder, made the remark last night after he was flattened by Louis in 2:16 of the fifth round of their 10 -round exhibition match. A crowd that taxed the ca pacity of the Oakland auditorium and attracted gross receipts of $19,856 saw Louis drape his six foot, five inch opponent on the canvas with a terific right to the face. The retired champ, who many think may face NBA title holder Ezzard Charles in a champion ship fight next summer, weigh ed 223 1-2 pounds. Hoosman tipp ed the beam at 211 1-2. Louis was a bit flabby around the midsection and some 13 pounds over his oldtime fighting weight. While he was somewhat slow afoot, he forced the pace from the start, with Hooseman in retreat most of the time. Louis will fight two four-round exhibitions Wednesday at Salt Lake city against Jay Lambert and Rex Layne. He was guaranteed xs.uuu lor last night's exhibition with a priv ilege of 40 percent of the gate. The fight paid off on $15,729 net, returning Louis nearly $6,300.

Watson combined six field goals with a free throw for 13 points. This was tied by Jack Detour. His seven free throw points were added to three field goals.

When he says "things are look ing up," he means that's the only direction his players can look to read the numerals on the other team's jerseys. In a roundabout way, Newby hints he It handicapped with a olub full of helghtless hust lers. And hustle they must, if they would tip the highly touted Grants Pass Cavemen, who come to Roseburg Wednesday, Dec. 28 for a non-conference tilt on the senior high school court. Newby predicts the Indians will be slower than the prover bial molasses in any January un Bowling Scores First half bowling competition in the City League ended Mon day night, with Olympia Supply co. nosing out Roseburg Jewelers by one game.

But just take a look at the senior loop's miscellaneous marks for the past season. Three major league records were broken, and four others tied, according to of ficial records released today. Eight National league standards were smashed and a half dozen tied. Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh's man with the big bat, was the Individ ual standout. He did something the old sultan of swat, Babe Ruth, couldn't accomplish by leading his league in home runs for the fourth consecutive season. More Home Runs The other two major league marks cracked were 936 home runs for the league as a whole and only 17 bases stolen by the St. Louis Cardinals. That was one in reverse. Kiner, who poled 54 home runs during the 1949 campaign, also broke two of his own league's records and tied another. It was the first time anyone hit 50 or more homers on two straight years. He also punched out 16-round-trippers in one month for the first time in history in the circuit. Stan (the man) Musial and Red Schoendienst of the St. Louis Cardinals, each broke a pair of records. Musial paced the league in base hits for the fifth straight year and in triples for the fourth consecutive season to set new marks. Highest Fielding Mark Schoendienst's records were in the fielding department. He had the longest errorless streak for a second-baseman, accepting 285 chances without a miscue and fin ished with the highest fielding mark in the history of the league for a second baseman, .987.

Phone 1103-J SoonersTop New Yorkers In New Style Oklahoma Downs CCNY By 67-63 Tally With A 'Revolving' Offense NEW YORK, Dec. 20 UP) Ok lahoma Coach Bruce Drake is a man who never uses the same basketball tactics from one year to the next. , Last night his team sprang a new revolving offense against City College in Madison . Square Garden that broke a man loose for easy drive-in shots more than a dozen times. The Sooners won, 67-63. "Shocky Needy (his scout) and I have been working on it for a couple years," he said. "This is the first time it's come out so well." Rivals Football Tactics In intricacy, the pattern rivals that of the sliding T of Okla homa's Sugar Bowl .football champions. Time and again, playmaker Paul Merchant would start off the whirling and cutting that be wildered a good City College five, hitherto unbeaten. On other courts, most of the country's major - teams came through with victories. Bradley rebounded from its Purdue defeat by trouncing Geor gia Tech, 84-60. Down south, North Carolina State blew a 10-point lead in los ing to Michigan, 54-46. It was state's first loss in five starts. All-winning Vilianova did it again, 49-45, over Loyola of Balti more. Vanderbilt upset Temple, 49-45. Notre Dame Beaten Iowa edged Notre Dame, 64-62, for the Irish's third loss to a Big ten team. Unbeaten Cornell dropped Rut gers, 78-46, for Its fifth straight. Yale overpowered Rochester, 58 37. Undefeated Syracuse staged a second-half drive to trounce Princeton, 80-48.
