But when it comes to I letting our congressmen, su pervisors or councilmen know ' about It we're as silent as an oiled, mouse. Most mall otfi-. : cials receive some from peo ple who want handouts of some sort ... so the idea grows that we all want something that doesn't include economy. If we really support the man we elect v. . both he and we might be pleasantly surprised. If you don't want anything, your pub lic officials will be doubly hap py to hear about it And to all you human people a Happy New Year from Henry and Don and Jim and John and Lewie and Gail and Smitty and Helen and Midge arid Barney and Pete and Deb and all the re or us nere at Corkrum Mo tore. An Oregon farmer thought a radio in the barn might make his cows more contented . . . but the sound threw the bossies Into a panic. Guess they prefer their corn on the cob. How's the sound of your car motor? ... If it's not clicking on all cylinders, drive in at CORK RUM MOTORS, INC, 114 N. Rose St, and let us look It over . . . We can change that grat ing roar to a nice smooth hum. pi. m day night date substituting for Saurc(ay, which is New Year's eve. Kiser, the Portlandcr who at one time was the most youthful matman ever to hold the coast light-heavy crown, is a spectac ular performer who will fire away with sensational drop kicks and aerial maneuvers off the ropes against Young Detton, the brother of two top-fllghters, Dorry and Dean. In defeating Bil ly McEuin recently, Detton used a spinning toehold to beat the veteran Texan. O'Reilly won the title from Weaver In Pendleton recently and the return match ie under NWA rules that allow the de feated titleholder a chance to - regain his lost laurels. O'Reilly used a hammerlock in winning the title from Weaver, whose tepover toe hold and neok breaker holds failed to pay off. Weaver, who missed last week's "Battle Royal" because of car trouble, has posted a $100 forfeit to guarantee his appaer ance here this week. O'Reilly, since his return to the States two months ago, has lost only to The Great Atlas. The Kiser-Detton opener will get underway at 8:30 p.m. Elton Owen will referee both bouts.

Charlie Brickley, All-Time Great In Football, Dies NEW YORK, Dec. 29 UP) Charlie Brickley of Harvard, one of the greatest drop kickers in American iootDau nistory, aiea from a heart attack last night at the age of 58. He was twice an all-America halfback (n 1913 and 1914 and in his three years for the crim son set records that have never been surpassed. ' In the 1913 Yale game, at the height of the Crimson's football heyday, he kicked five field goals for Harvard's only scoring and a 15-5 victory.) Records Still Stand Two of his records still stand. His 13 field goals in 1913 were the most ever kicked by a var sity player in a single season. He also held the overall record of 34 goals out of 37 attempts for his three varsity years starting in 1911. After graduating from Harvard he entered the brokerage busi ness and in late years was an ad vertising salesman in New York. His death was discovered last night when a friend at the George Washington hotel heard groans coming from Brlckley's room and called the house doctor. They entered with a pass key and found the former grid star lying on the floor. He was pronounced dead by Dr. Alan Moody, ambu lance surgeon from Bellevue hos pital. Ill For Year His son, Charles E. Brickley, Jr., said his father had been ill for a year but would not give up work. "He Just wouldn't rest, he wouldn't give up ... he was a champ right to the end," the younger Brickley said. . Father and son had appeared in a mid-Manhattan court to have charges of disorderly con duct against them dismissed. Their arrests grew out of a football argument that turned into a fight at Reuben's restau rant, 6 E. 58th street on Dec. 14. The trouble started when a pa tron pointed out the elder Brick ley to a friend, who exclaimed, "You mean that old bald-headed man is the great Charlie Brick ley?" T kes Exception Brickley took exception to the remark, and before it was over It took 10 policemen to subdue fath er and son. Brickley laughed it off, saying "fame is fleetin . . it happens all the time." The restaurant owner, an old friend, refused to press the charges. : Although most famous for his kicking, Brickley was also an out standing ball carrier, and was also a member of the American hop-step-and-jump team in the 1912 Olympics at Stockholm, Swe den. He was captain of the Har vard football team during his last year. The younger Brickley said fu neral services will be held at Ev erett, Mass. The time is not yet set - - In addition to Charles, Jr., Brickley is survived by his wid ow, Katherine, and another son, John T. Brickley. Hot and Neat-tftW Mobil he at I ONE CALL and wo do the rest!

The beefy, but agile visiting Caveman club quickly got the range on Roseburg and turned the game into a scoring session that found the Indians trailing miserably at the end of the first quarter by a 18-4 count. Fourth quarter sparK The second quarter was equal ly untenable for Jack Newby's basketeers and the halftime tal ly saw the visitors ahead 308. Behlng 41-13 going into the fourth quarter, Roseburg strug gled to life, finally got the ball rolling In the proper direction to connect for 12 points, while hold ing the Cavemen reserves to nine points. It appeared to oe a case ot playing a better ball olub from a much stronger league. The Cavemen put the ball through the hoop more Ways than was thought possible. The only thing they didn't try was drop kicks while doing onehanded pushups. .... In the meantime, the orange and black organization scurried in vain from one end of the court to the other, looking like the vic tims of a game called "keep away." The visitors launched their drive with the. opening whistle. Orv Miller, forward, took a pass after the Jump and zipped the ball through for two points. The next four Cavemen points were 'FIX' CLAIMED Orange Bowl Queen Choice Draws Anger : MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 29 UP) Blonde and. blue-eved Ladene Van Wagoner, 23-year-old airline stewardess, was crowned orange bowl queen last night. Six other candidates for the honor stalkca out, claiming the contest was fixed. Just after the crown was plac ed upon Miss Van Wagoner's head by movie star Colleen Town- send, tne rival unaust wameq out as newsboys hawked copies of a paper announcing the new queen. The losers contended the early sale of the paper (the Florida Sun and Rivera Times) proved that earlier rumors were true that the queen had been selected long ago despite assurances she would be chosen at last night's ball in Coral Gables Country club. ' . . ; Claimed Early Sale They claimed the paper was on sale even before the announce ment was made. The paper car rieda full-page tabloid size pic ture of the queen, whose home is in Salt Lake City, Utah. . When the indignant losers left the scene, some other candidat es and their families followed. Orange, Bowl committeemen were quick , to deny the accusa tions. Orange Bowl chairman Dan Mahonev could not be reach- ed for a statement and neither could the editor, of the paper. Ernie Seiler, general manager of the Orange Bowl festival, had no comment. Accusation Denied Duke Jordan, public relations director for the Orange Bowl, de nied it was a stacked contest. "It was not In the bag for this Bin," he said. "It was pretty wen decided in the Judges' mind who the winner was going to be, but there was always a chance other circumstances mlent arise. He insisted the final judging was Influenced by applause for the 38 finalists along the parade route in Coral Gables before the coronation ball. The protesting candidates said "A majority" of the finalists would sign a petition and pre. sent it to the Orange Bowl com mittee.
