American football selection for 1037 than did the fellers who made it. Would appear, off band like, that the j choosers were aware . of their discrep ancies in judgment and fignred to cover up by giving5 the Wil lamette go-getters a nice send off anyhoo. Under the byline of Alan Gonld, AP snorts edi tor, and milder a New York cred it line front whence the elec tion trickled oyer the 'wire, tU said: '"Seldom has there been a better ero of small-coUefge backs. So swift waa the. race for honors that one of last year's choices, big Dick . Weis gerber of Willamette.! failed b repeat. Weisgerber and bis "in ning mate, Billy Beard, shared, offensive honors for h 1ttl Oregon school, but did not onlte measure up to the claas of their main rivals on the season s ords. f Trio Accorded Mention, , Becken, from the press account, evidently battled it out with Doug Oldershaw, Santa Barbara faiaie guard who made it for jthe second successive year. Says the dispatch, "the only repeater in (the line is Doug Oldershaw, brilliant guard from Santa Barbara, who edged out another west coast! contender, Elliott Becken of Willamette. The three "Cats have some conso lation, howeverr Beard and Wels gerber were two of the! five backs who were given honorable men tion, and "Tootle" was the only guard so recognised. Perhaps "Tootie" will have Oldershaw mumbling "On, Pshaw? afore the final gun barks in the Willamette-Santa Barbara State game Christmas day, and thereby prove to all and sundry that it was a terrible mistake to leave him off of the little all-Amerlcan. One for the Bookl Reed Clark, Lebanon high school athletic tutor (since Us graduation from the University, of Oregon in 1930, has pulled the fastest one of the year. In the just-past grid season tle Lebanon Berrypickers, under . Clark's guidance, went through a season undefeated. Now, at the culmination of such an au spicious season, Clark has re signed. If that doesn't set a new all-time, all-American prece dent for coaches, we'll buy a ' holly wreath for the Sphin. x Most coaches, when they are lucky enough, and good enough, to hang up n record sacb as Clark's, begin casting eyes to ward 'greener and more fertile coaching fields. Not 1 so Reed. He just says. In effect, "thar ue Is (the record),: and here I blow.' In his resignation an ' nouncement, Clark says he Is - going to take a position with Hears Reebwck and Company ia its new store in Klamath Falls. That the little city that puts out the . biggest strawberry short cake In the world every berry season will miss Clark e little is evidenced by his . record and what he has accomplished for the Berrypickers daring his regime in Lebanon. In eight football sea sons Clark's teams have won two championships and placed second in four years of competition in the Willamette league. Lebanon has won the "B" division cham pionship ever since 'the league's conception In 1938. In eight sea son's Clark's football teams have won 42, lost 22, and tied 11. Sev en wins, no defeats and three ties is Tils 1937 record, his best. As toria, Albany and Corvallis all tied the Berrypickers this last season. Besides his record, Clark leaves : to Lebanon a crackerjari new gymnasium, a lighted football field and a host of ez-hlgh school athletes who would be a credit to any coach or community. . Jack Haek. the youngster who has been playing a lot of end for Wlllam- i ette this year, is one of Clark's proteges. - I Alumni Organize Independent Team MONMOUTH A group of- for mer Monmouth high school bas ketball players have; organized themselves un er the sponsorship of Barney's grocery and areplay- inr j games with other inaepen dent teams.

Dec. 10H5V The University of Idaho Vandals "went to town" tonight against ths basketballers of Whitman col lege with a. 56 to 35 victory. A ' fast passing combination Winter to Smith to Barrett, and a dead eye on the resulting short shots was the deciding factor in the Idaho victory. i Only in the first period, when Whitman started the game's scor ing, and tbe count was tied four different times, was the contest la real doubt. In the second the Vandals pulled away to lead 34 to 22 at half time. I Cantaln Johnson, Idaho for ward, was the high scorer of the game with 20 points. Mike Reser. Whitman nee, was second with 1'- ' earcats Ball Hawking Decides Fray Oilers Take Long Lead in Firs Half; White la Sparkplug of WU What the Eearcat hoop team lacked in smoothness of play, they more than made up in downrigM aggressiveness and ballhawktng ability as they, sparked by EONS transfer Bob White, poured on th pressure to overtake and beat Un ion Oil on the Willamette court last night, 29 to 26. Playing a roush pattern the first half, the Bearcats were down 12 to 7 at half time. The half waa seven minutes old before Weaver. 'Cat guard, hoisted one in from the gift line tor Willamette to break the ice on its side of the scoring ledger. The Oilers by then, with Inman, Bailey and Willie Jones, connecting for one field goal apiece, and the taller Jones' converting a gifter, had 7. The whole first canto was characterized by over-caution on the part of the 'Cats, and it as not until White, a husky six-foot two-inch bomber from Isortb Powder, entered the fray that Coach Howard Maple's maple court crew started clicking. It was hard sledding for the Willamette quintet all the way, however, finding it difficult to penetrate into the hoop through ths tight defense offered by tne Oilers. Beard Looks Good Billy Beard, the triple-threat pigskin artist, displayed court ability last night beyond what he has ever shown. Fast, shifty and an accurate ball handler. Beard was in the thick of the fray all evening, and was perhaps the only ball player on the floor to play an errorless ball game. While both teams threw tbe ball away num- erous times, none of the bad flips ma . l,. I i t- 1 couia De creauea to tne Dionae ball hawk. The second half was seven min utes old before the 'Cats overtook the Oilers. With Weaver. White, Beard. Gastlneau and Nunneu kamp splitting the hemp, Willam ette forged ahead 23 to 19 as the stop watch ticked past the eight minute mark. From there tbe 'Cats, were never headed, although Bud iones poured one in from the floor and Grenier lifted one from the free throw line to bring it np to Oilers 25, Willamette 26 with but two minutes to go. White drove in for a cripple and Neunenkamp sank a gifter to put the game in the bag. With Bruce Shaffer poking lu left-handers for 13 points, the Willamette Freshmen took a 36 to It decision from Brooks Clothiers in a preliminary game. J. Kelly sparked a brief attack tor the Clothiers that saw them creep tip within five points shortly after the beginning of the second canto.

Dec. 10-fc!P)-Putting two and two together be tween glimpses at the incoming mail: Fired Big time college foot ball coaches expected almost any thing to happen this winter ex cept the dismissal of Harry Kipke at Michigan. Harry correctly guessed what his team would do last fall and then got the gate. "I'd have been as much surprised if they'd bounced Stub Allison of California," says Columbia Lou Little. "Seems as soon as a fel low's named head of the National Football Coaches' association he gets fired. Pray for me. I get that job two years from now and my contract's up the same time I take office." The general guess is Kipke quarreled with Fielding "Hurry Up" Yost who got him his Job. It is doubtful whether Kipke keeps on coaching. He doesn't want to leave his new Ann Arbor, Mich., home and he has a couple of good business offers which would give him just as much money and not so many headaches. The saddest part of the Kipke story is that Michigan didn't hold up the an nouncement of his dismissal until he had finished his banquet tour. which included a Michigan alum ni dinner at New York tonight. And yet some people insist col lege football coaches are over paid for their heartaches and headaches.

Kramer, secretary of the Wil lamette Valley Interscholastic league, announces that New berg; has withdrawn to affiliate with the Washington-Yamhill county circuit and that Chemawa has been added to keep the league at its full, eight-team strength. While Silverton always found Newberg a good opponent, of Chemawa's addition to the o league. Silverton, Woodburn and Chemawa have long been friend ly rivals in athletic circles and the local games between Silver ton and Chemawa have been at tended as well as any league game outside of that between Sil verton and Woodburn. The tra ditional rivalry between Silver ton and Chemawa is a thing dat ing back over 20 years. This change is schedule auto matically cancels pre-season games scheduled between Silver ton and Chemawa and gives Che mawa all Kewberg's dates in the arranged schedule. Silverton is now endeavoring to have the dates set with Che mawa filled by some other team. First of these was, December 30 when Silverton was to have play ed Chemawa at Chemawa.
