This Is the year a duke becam
king overnight, as far as the Rost
Bowl , papas were concerned.
While lb A. fana have howled dis
approval ot the selection of the
Tobacco Roadists for the little old
Pasadena tussle, They'd beller if
El Trojan had invited the Horned
Frogs, Tennessee, Duke and the
Skiboes to scamper a quarter each
against their wooden war horse.
Personally I think the Trojan
brain department is to be highly
commended on its selection for a
Rose Bowl opponent, especially in
getting the biz over promptly and
with dispatch.' Can you, mister,
think of any team playing a rep
resentative schedule in recent
years that hasn't been scored on
once daring that schedule?
When a team like Pitt's Pan
thers, rated by eastern experts as
the most powerful offensive ma
chine In the US, (which automat
ically takes in the whole globe,
can't score against 'em the Dukers
must have something in the way
of a defense. .
- o '
Action the Key.
Yes, they undoubtedly have.
That Is what Is mainly nt irking
In the collective craw of Archie
and Agnes Fan of Los Angeles.
Archie and Agnes, and even lit
tle Eggbert, had their hearts
set on seeing the Christians of
Texas In action. Get It? Action.
That's the. key word. Action.
Somehow or other I. A. foot
ball fans are almost as tinman
as their cousins hereabouts.
They don't relish, though they'll
fill the Tasadena bowl to its
rim, watching their Trojan
troops butting their heads
against a stone wall all after
noon come Jan. 2. What they'd
much rather see is Davie
O'Brien whipping passes to all
parts of the rectangle, "Gran
ny" Lansdell doing likewise,
and to be more explicit, a wide
open football spectacle In which
-.. tier
minute.
LAs Like Local Loyals.
In a way you can't blame Los
Angeles' multitudes. Football be
longs to the paying public In this
era. John Public pays, and is
rightfully Indignant when he does
not see anything but a butting
match for his sheckels. L. A. lay-ers-on-the-line
have as much right
to be disgruntled as were local
loyals who felt that the first three
Quarters of th Oregon-OSC game
in Portland could just as well
been left out.
On the latter score, several Sa
lem SDectatorS tn lout Ratnrriav'a
three-quarter standoff were quick
to second this column's relegation
of those three heats to the "lousy"
heap.
Said Don Poujade, local police
radio operator who has more
weird ideas than Orson Welles:
"Though it breaks a precedent I'm
forced to agree "with your senti
ments for once."
Writes Bob Patton, former foot
ball official hereabouts: "I cer
tainly agree with your statement
that the tilt between Oregon and
OSC was lousy. I haven't had the
opportunity of seeing many coast
conferenc e games, this year or
previous years, but as the weather
was perfect this looked like a nat
ural. And was I' disappointed! Not
a thrill In a carload. Looked as if
one was 'scared and the other
'dassen't. It seems as if the only
good football one can see these
days Is during the last five min
utes of the final quarter."
Wade no Stranger.
Coach- Wallace Wade won't
have to ask his way about when
he hits Los Angeles with his to
bacco toughies. The Duke tutor
will be cracking the Pasadena
portals for his fifth time. His
first Rose Bowl appearance was
as m guard on Brqwn univer
sity's 1910 team. Xater, as a
coach, be carried three Ala
bama teams to Pasadena, gain
ing two victories and a tie.
BestRecord?
Though there Is something awe
some about a team'that has nego
tiated a nine-game schedule un
rnrct nnnn wtitMi
r M hue uivi-
impressive: Duke's 114 points to
nary a one for, Us nine opponents
or Texas Christian's 254 as against
5 J for the Horned Frogs' ten ad
versaries? Dnke has averaged 12.1
points per game. TCU has ave
raged 25.4. Deducting the 62
polnti scored against them from
their own scoring oclumn, the
Frogs would still have a total of
201 points or an average of 21 per
game to none for the opposition;
Okeh, I'll shut up. Dnke right
fully got the nomination. But,
wouldn't yon like to have seen
those TCU's In a-c-t-i-o-n?
Duck Hunting Was

PORTLAND, Nov. 30.-y-Cen-tral
Oregon duck hunters surveyed
their limits at the end of the sea

Except for . the first few days,
about 100 sportsmen tn Clatsop

to give the latter plenty of

Semi-Final Is Hot
The semi-final bout, featuring
Sammy Shoulderblade and Walte
Sabbe, is expected to be the most
hotly contested on the card.
Shoulderblade, fighting last year
for Chemawa, gave a good ac
count of himself in the vOregon
AAU tourney in Portland. This
year a student at Willamette, he
is fighting out of the local CYO
barn. . Sabbe advanced to the
semi-finals of the Seattle tourna

four two-minute rounds route.
The balance of the bouts will be
over the three two-minute rounds

Final Choice Made for

BATON ROUGE," La., Nov. 30
(iP)-Sponsors of a national cham

lect the two teams "not later
than December 10," hut the se

growing harder as letters poured
in from backers of strong high
school squads.
Governor Leche received a rec

Creting high of St. Paul, cham

Big Ten Scans
Rose Bowl Bid
Monopoly on Selection Is
Possible; Would Add
to Its Prestige
CHICAGO, Nov. 30-P)-A pos
sible monopoly on Rose Bowl foot
ball games through an arrange
ment which would confine the
event to battles between Big Ten
and Pacific coast teams will be
discussed by western conference
athletic representatives who to
morrow will open their annual
December meeting.
Pacific coast conference author
ities have let it be known that
their attitude toward the idea Is
favorable, and several Big Ten
athletic directors see good points
in such a reciprocal agreement
one similar to the annual track
and field meet In which teams
from the two big conferences now
annually engage. -
The principal drawback, as one
athletic director pointed out, is
that Big Ten teams have to con
tinue practice through cold, Bnowy
weather before playing the contest
in midsummer temperatures. No
bis Kizer, Purdue's athletic direc
tor, has suggested that the Rose
Bowi game be advanced, possibly
to an early December date.
One argument advanced for the
idea is that It would eliminate
much bickering which often
marks selection of an eastern or
southern opponent. Southern
California will meet Duke in the
bowl extravaganza January 2, but
many California fans had hoped
Texas Christian would get the in
vitation.
Athletic directors and football
coaches meet tomorrow, with ex
ecutives of other sports slated to
get together Friday and Saturday,
Dr. Eddie Anderson, newly signed
Iowa football coach, will be wel
comed by his new colleagues. Bob
Zuppke, still football coach at Il
linois as the result of timely sup
port by illini trustees who refused
to accept the resignation he gave
to the athletic board. Is certain to
come in for many congratulatory
greetings.
