Civil War Blazes Tonight at 8 Is Joe Is or Is Joe Ain't Signing; Cleveland Slices Salary by $7500 CLEVELAND, O.— (UP) —Sec- ] ond Baseman Joe Gordon said Thursday he had received his 1950 contract from the Cleveland Indi ans but added “I'm afraid I don’t like it.” Gordon, whose hitting fell off last year despite his 20 home runs, said “The contract they mailed me cut my base pay $5,000 and elimi nated a bonus of $2,500. It makes me wonder is they really want me. Doesn’t seem consistent.” The former Yankee star and one time Oregon great said he still hadn’t made up his mind on the question of retirement, but strong ly indicated by telephone from his home in Eugene that he would play again if he can reach a suitable fi nancial agreement. He received approximately $35, 000 last year. •i ! Now at this NEW LOW PRICE of only 00 ■ THE MOST WANTED FLIGHT JACKET! IT’S MADE OF FINE QUALITY GABARDINE. IS PILE-LINED (FOR WARMTH).

There .are actually only two chances of possible injury on the Webfoot team as it heads for Gill Coliseum this afternoon. Reserve center Ken Loomis has been bothered through the week by a mean ankle, but Train er Tom Hughes said earlier in the week that the joint will not give Loomis any trouble, should he play. The other possibility of injury lies in the back of Paul Sowers. Hughes again ventured the opinion that there is very little chance of further injury there. The muscles which were strained have been completely patched up, he said. Sowers will continue to wear his protective “corset” under his jersey, although it is completely unnecessary. Hughes stated that the pads in the garment would merely serve as added protection because Sowers often comes into rough play under the boards. Coach John Warren will prob ably start his regular quintet of Sowers, Will Urban, Jim Vranizan, Ken Hunt, and Mel Krause. Mel Streeter and Jack Keller may get the nod over Vranizan and Hunt, however. If the Beavers throw up a zone defense at the Ducks to cut down the danger of the fast break, War ren may alter his line-up accord ingly. Should the Ducks need to fall back to casting long shots from the outside, the responsibility will probably go onto the shoulders of Sowers and Krause, the two dead eyes of the squad.

Phone in vour reservations Husky Stock Boosted As Anse McCullough Re-enrolls at Seattle anse McCullough, star Husky passer in 1948, who re enrolled at Seattle Thursday to considerably boost Washington’s 1950 grid stock. Frosh Swimmers Badly Needed Frosh swimming Coach George Moorehead sent out a call Thursday for all interested freshmen to meet with him at 4 p.m. today at the swimming pool. Moorehead, who has three strong point-getters already on his squad, is particularly in need of men who can handle the breaststroke and backstroke. The total possible points in a swim meet are 72, and the medley event, which consists mainly of backstroke and breast stroke, accounts for 23 of those points. The Frosh are slated to make their first dive into competition Jan. 28, probably against a high school squad. A home-and-home af fair has been arranged with Salem High School. SEATTLE (UP)—Football for tunes at the University of Wash ington appeared on the upswing to day with the announcement that Anse McCullough, 1948 Husky star, had re-enrolled at the * Seattle school. McCullough, who left college during the 1949 spring training, said he wanted to turn out for foot ball this year. The flashy Chaffee (Calif.) Jun ior College quarterback led 1948 Washington passers with 53 com pletions out of 105 attempts for 618 yards. Four of his aerials resulted in touchdowns. He also was the best punter on the ’48 edition of the Purple and Gold gridiron squad with a 42-yard average. Washington football followers were definitely enthusiastic about McCullough’s return. Teamed in the backfield with Don Heinrich, Don O’Leary, F.oland Kirksby, Jim Wiley, Hugh McEl henny and Henry Tiedemann, the University of Washington could produce a powerful running and passing attack this fall. SF State College Hunts GridjBoss SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Rich ard (Dick) Boyle resigned as head football coach of San Francisco State College today after his sixth season at the helm of the ’Gators. Dean of Athletics David J. Cox announced that the former St. Mary’s All-American will remain at State to “Handle administra tive duties and special assign ments” in the physical education department. Cox termed the resignation “a matter of necessity" due to “the ex panding physical education pro gram here and the need for an ad ministrative head.” The college already has extend ed feelers for the grid spot to “at least four prominent coaches," Cox added. San Francisco State wound up its 1949 season with three wins and one tie out of eight games. Two of the three wins came on the last two games when the ’Gators upset a new campus at Lake Merced on the edge of San Francisco in the near future. Giant Rook Hoopsters Open Campaign Today Corvallis—Oregon State's fresh man basketball team, with only a week of practice behind it, will open its 1950 campaign against strong Hood River high school in Gill Coliseum today at 4 p.m. Valenti will field one of the tallest OSC freshman teams in re cent years.
