The Irish Coach, Frank Leahy, and the president of the university -the Reverend John Cavanaugh— were asked for their reactions. Here they are: Says Leahy: “I’m sorry about the season and I’m sorry about that new title. We seem to be extremists —either very high or very low. We’ll simply try hard to do better in the future.” Says Father Cavanaugh: “We don’t feel at Notre Dame that our team was the flop of the year. Our team played to win and played the best it could. After that the score is not, so important. One team always has to lose. We lost four games. The Rose Bowl Champion Michi gan-lost three. Would you consid er then that Michigan should be ranked flop number two of the sea son ?” Fighf Force Studied PORTLAND (CP), Courtesy of Station KUGN) There may be an explanation tonight in Portland - reasons for Billy Smith's eight round walkout the other night in a bout with Archie Moore of Toledo, Ohio.

Wegner Leads Frosh Scoring With High Mark Guard Kenny Wegner of Roose velt High in Portland has scored 40 points in three games (a healthy 13.3 average) to take the scoring honors for Coach Don Kirsch’s Ore gon Duckling basketball sauad. Although Wegner scored only five points during the opener in which the Frosh seized a 49-44 de cision over the Portland Frosh at Portland, he found the mark for five field goals and three free throws for thirteen points in the following contest, a 66-42 Oregon triumph over the Linfield Frosh. Wegner received 15 free throw opportunities in the latest Frosh performance—a 66-55 win over the Oregon College of Education var sity—and he dropped 12 of them through the hoop, adding five field goals for an impressive 22 points.

The Frosh now have a 12-game winning streak which has initiated with an amazing 81-19 massacre of Redmond High last season. The streak has seen other impressive victories; 68-54 over the Marshfield Pirates, 70-47 over Hillsboro, and 70-27 over a hapless Klamath Falls squad.

Aiken Fortunes Drop NEW YORK ((fP), Courtesy of Station KUGN)—The fair-catch rule seems certain to be reinstated and some changes may be made in the unlimited substitution rule when the college football coaches convene at Dallas next week. The fair-catch was eliminated in a rules change this year and by mid-season most of the coaches were screaming for reinstatement of the regulation. They said their safety men were taking a batter ing. No really major change is ex pected in the unlimited substitution rule, which made possible the two platoon system, but some minor hitches may be taken in it. WAA Meets, Plans Women’s Athletic Association President Bonnie Gienger called a meeting of all house athletic man agers representing WAA organiza tions last night.

SPORTS STAFF John Barton Sam Fidman A1 Karr P. W. Johnson BILL RILEY AND HIS ORCHESTRA DANCING EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING 9:30-12:30 WILLAMETTE PARK moved irum a, gutuu jjwiuuu ^ last year’s Husky squad, and Doug McClary, 6-foot, seven-inch sopho more standout. Center will be Bob Houbregs, who also stands six feet, seven inches tall. Soriano at Guard Guards for. Washington will be Louis Soriano and La Don Henson, who has been moved from a for ward spot since last season. The games this weekend jvill fea ture the fast break versus the fast break, which is a style of play » new to either school, Oregon Elfl used this type of basketball ever since Howard Hobson first hit Eu gene, and former Husky Coach Hec Edmundson was famous for his em phasis on a race-horse game. Under Art McClarney, who re tired from the Washington coach ing staff at the close of last season, the Huskies used a slower, smooth er type of ball, but present Coach William H. H. “Tippy” Dye has again introduced the fast break to Washington. Duck Coach John Warren may alternate his charges frequently in an effort to wear the Huskies down. He has good reserve material for this use in Mel Streeter, Curt Bar clay, Jim Vranizan, and Ken Hunt. Washington Depth Dye, of course; may use his depth of strength for the same purpose. Men like Keith Jefferson, Duane Enochs, Russ Parthemer and Jack Ward give the Purple and Gold mentor plenty of reserve strength. Also fairly untried as yet is the much talked of “Slippery” Joe Cip riano, sophomore guard. After the Washington series, the Webfoots will next meet San Fran cisco university Friday, Jan. 12, in the San Francisco Cow Palace. The same floor will be the scene of the Duck-St. Mary’s college battle the next night. Oregon’s first ND home game this season will be against Idaho on Jan. 19.
