    Webfoots Meet Willamette
Pity Poor
Little UO
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1— (AP)
.—Poor little Oregon. It didn’t get
to go to the Rose Bowl.
So Oregon will just get around
$118,500, while California, the
team that will go to the Rose Bowl
will get maybe $96,500.
Oregon’s Cotton Bowl playoff is
expected to be $112,000.
Chairman Dan Rogers of the Cot
ton Bowl Athletic association esti
mates Oregon’s 42 V£. per cent share
of the New Year’s Day game in
Dallas will total that amount. The
bowl has a capacity of 67,000 seats
at $4.80 a head.
The Rose Bowl division never
lias been made public, but the gate
—at $5 a head except for 20,000
student tickets at $2—will be about
$390,000. Added to this an estimat
ed $100,000 for television and ra
dio rights. Expense's and the bowl
rental may reduce this to $360,000.
This will be divided equally be
tween the Coast conference and the
Big Nine. Of the coast’s $180,000,
California will get half.
Of the other $90,000, the confer
ence commissioner's office will get
$25,000. The remainder is split
among the ten conference members
.—about $6,500 a share.
California’s total thus will be
about $96,500. Oregon also will get
its $6,500 Rose Bowl share. Added
to the Cotton Bowl take, it will
make $118,500 for Oregon.
Poor Oregon.
Roger Wiley has been the regular
center for Oregon for four years.
Back At the Old Stand
VETERAN JIM BARTELT will see lots of action tonight when the
Webfoot eagers clash with the Willamette Bearcats in Salem.
Bartelt, a three-year letterman from Ashland, can play either guard
or forward, and will probably play in both positions before the eve
ning is over.
Doak Walker Wins Heisman Trophy
NEW YORK, Dec. 1—(At')—
Doak Walker of Southern Metho
dist has been selected as winner of
the Heisman trophy as the year’s
outstanding college football play
er, it was announced today.
Walker, an All-America half
back in 1947 and strong contender
for repeat honors this season, will
be awarded the Heisman Memorial
trophy by the Downtown Athletic
club of New York.
First junior ever to win the tro

3 935, Walker won with a total of

Bearcats Ready To
Try For Upset Win
Tonight will be the preview on what’s to come in the North
ern Division race this year, for Oregon anyway. John Warren
will take his boys onto the floor of the Men’s Gym in Salem at
eight to battle johnny Lewis’ ever-dangerous Bearcats of Wil
lamette.
Warren isn't too confident, remembering the Bearcats up
set win a year back. The Salem
team has lost only one regular
from that tough outfit, and are
especially effective on their
home floor.
Oregon, on the other hand,
has lost three regulars and a
semi-regular, with the departure of
Dick Wilkins, Stan Williamson, A1
Popick, and Reedy Berg. Jim Bar
telt’s injured ankles, which have
kept him out of practice for six
weeks, make him a doubtful starter,
and he is one of the two regulars
back, along with Roger Wiley.
Wiley will be at the pivot post for
sure tonight, and the guard spots
will be filled by lettermen Bob Lav
ey and Kenny Seeborg. In case
Bartelt doesn’t start, Paul Sowers,
flashy transfer from Vanport, will
move into one forward position.
The other forward is up in the air,
with 6-foot 8-inch Bob Amacher and
Sophomore Will Urban both in the
fight for it. Both are good back
board men and either may start.
Lewis is expected to start the two
Johnson brothers, Bob and Jim, at
forwards in hopes they can repeat
the upset of last year, primarily en
gineered by these two. Both are
good scorers and know how to work
on the boards.
At center will probably be Doug
Logue, a 6-foot 5-inch freshman
from Astoria, who will have a diffi
cult time with Wiley. A good man
on the boards, Logue is not a big
scorer.
Both guards from last season are
still around, Ted Johnson and Tom
Warren. Either one can go on a
wild spree and rack up the points,
besides doing a workmanlike job in
backcourt.
The Webfoot starters will have to
produce or watch the game from the
sideline, according to Warren, who
will be taking 20 men to Salem.
“With this the first game, I’m going
to do a little experimenting, just to
see what I have,” the Webfoot coach
added.
Others making the trip besides
the possible starters include Jim
Bocchi, Leroy Coleman, Paul Coop
er, Bob Don, Lynn Hamilton, Jack
Keller, Art Milne, Johnny Neeley',
Don Peterson, Rod Slade, Jerry
Switzer, Dick Unis and Dale War
berg.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1—(AP) —

ters that Fresno, Calif., had filed

ing it. I
