Brilliance Not - Shown ; '. But : aside from those two, neither the championship New York Giants nor the dangerous Cards offered anything ,in the way of hurling brilliance, accord ing to the official averages re leased today. As a result, honors for being the best-rounded pitch ing staff in the league went again to the Chicago Cubs throwing troupe. - For the third time in his ca reer, Hubbell won the annual pitching prize the lowest earned run average. He finished' ua with a record t only 2:41 earned off his delivery per nirie inning game. In addition, he be came the seventh pitcher since 1912 to top the loop in both earned run average and -woo: and lost percentage by posting 2 8" vic tories against six defeats. Dean was the "workhorse champion" of the loop. Settling an argument that has been going the rounds since the campaign closed, the official averages showed old Diz saw more duty than any other pitcher. He served in 315 Innings, 51 games, and came up wJth an earned run av erage of 3.171, not far off Hub bell's . pace. By pitching 23 com-, plete games, he also finished what he started more often than any other hurler In the league.

No Chances Taken One workout, instead of the customary morning and afternoon drills, rounded out the Christmas program. Eaeh side chalked up brisk sessions, however. 'The east team scrimmaged for an hoar. But scrimmage formed ! no part of the west's practice. The west ern coaches, Orin Hollingberry and Percy Locey, decided to take no more chances following yester day's injury to Floyd Terry. The rangy end from Washington State college came out of a pile-up with a broken right forearm, j As a result of the accident, "Red" Elder, backfield ace from Kansas State, and Del Bjork, Uni versity of Oregon tackle ! last sea son, were drafted for double duty. In addition to their regular posi tions they began learning the routine peculiar to a flank man.

I MASh Trains for Easi-WesiEnd Job t X t - r DEL SV PAUL HAUSE-R Random thoughta of a sport writer on the day after Christ mas eve when all through the bonse not a creature was stir-' ring, not even a spoon: Fancy the disappointment of a man who sent money to a friend in Ix Angele for purchase of Rose Bowl tickets and then after several weeks received a letter from the friend inform lng him that the' duty had been put off and, neglected until there were no more tickets and advising him to try and pick some up in Seattle or Portland. Consider the plight of Otto Skopil, who in the dressing room before Salem high's game with the alumni was jestingly asked why he wasn't playing with the alumni. Should the laugh be sad or remorseful? And Howard Maple; who rolled his roly-poly self into . town the day before Christmas ' and was lacking only a white beard and a red suit, says that his first-string Oregon State Rooks will all be over slxjeet.' Conditioned, of course, on the hope that they all stay eligible. Remember Corvallis high's state champions? Howard has three of the regulars. That includes Roy Pflugrad, in our mind just us good a prep basketeer as they come. O 'Twas the night before Christ mas and Tommy Drynan discov ered that a local photography shop had on display a photo of his first young son. So he stood and captured pasaers-by to take a view. And had reason to be proud. And thinking that this King Ketchell who will fight Frank Riggi on New Year's day must be from the stable of Bad Da vies, sarcastically called The Silent One" by the news papers of Vancouver. And thinking that he mast be one of the heavyweights whom Davie told us he had who was better than Danny Pa hi. . . Remembering that Danny Pa hi and not Danny Paul. . . He has Teutonic blood in him. . . Like Schmeling. Then mulling over that Harold Hauk, with the secret society oustings, has plenty of handicaps in maung a basketball team but that the boys who beat the alumni 35 to 30 look as though they will be a good club. Thinking that they have plenty of flgBt and that they play a better team game than last year's Vikings. Thinking that a secret so ciety would be a great thing if it were really secret and then remembering that there is no fun in belonging to a really secret society. If a secret society were really secret, one could not have the prestige of belonging to a secret society. NOTICE OF HEARING OF OB JECTIONS TO FINAL ACCOUNT NOTICE HEREBY IS GIVEN that K. E.
