There' a beega da reason,
Tony, why the Northwest, con
f erence doesn't hare any more
' of the, shall we say 8TLNG,
than it does;
There's not enough of the
back of .'the circuit, and that's
- why it has been on the brink of
destruction for the past several
. years. '
Take the forthcoming basket
ball season fr instance. Yon
don't hare to take it .very far to
fathom what I mean.
ATiC nf Pr.T. Knntm.
Everyone and his mongrel pooch
knows what each of the northern
division. Pacific coast conference
cluba has in the way of material
for the coming casaba campaign.
and what is expected of each.
It is known that Oregon is the
defending champ, has talent ga
loreincluding no less than three
flying Finns from Astoria, and is
given more than an outside chance
not only to repeat bat to annex
the coast championship.
It Is known that Slats Gil over
at Oregon State is going to have
another of his cagy cage clubs.
and will once more make at least
partial use of a fast breaking sys
tern that was used so well in the
Ed Lewis and Wally Palm berg
years, ,
, It is known that Jack Friers
Cougars are one of the best squads
to represent the Palouse education
mill since the regime of Huntley
Gordon, et aL
It is known that those Huskies
of Hec Edmundson's on at Wash
ington are again being dreaded as
they are annually, and that Hec
is definitely set to challenge Ore
goa's championship hopes.
It is known that Idaho prob
ably will be' the weakest Quint in
the northern division circuit, but
by no means weak.
In general, it is known that the
northern division of the Pacific
coast conference expects one of
the tightest races of its history;
that each of the tire clubs should
be better this year than it was
last;, and that in the last lap Ore
gon, Washington State and Wash
ington are expected to .fight it out
for the pennant, with Oregon State
having an outside chance.
Publicity Poor.
Now- Tuny, what do yon know
about the teams, that will com
pete in the Northwest loop?
Outside of Willamette, can you
name one pUtyer on any of the
' other Northwest c o n f e r e nee
teams? Do yon even remember
what team it was that last year
gained a co-championship with
Willamette?
Lack of publicity is the chief
reason why you can't answer
those questions, Tony. With the
exception of Willamette and
Whitman, publicity depart
ments in the Northwest confer
ence are as scarce as will be
Roman noses . in Germany if
Hitler continues In power an
other five years.
The sports public likes and
wants plenty of this so-called
lip service. Though he often
condemns the sports publicity
man for overemphasizing the
prowess of the club or individ
ual he is at the time advertis
ing to high heaven, the average
sports follower eats ft up and
begs for more.
Staters May Slash.
In Bud Forrester's Oregon State
prospectus, that hit this desk a
couple ot days back, Bud has this
to say in regard to the possibility
ot a fast break being used by the
Orangemen this year:
"There's been a lot of talk
about Gill changing his offense to
a 'fast break' this season. Slats,
who is generally considered the
master of Pacific Coast basketball
coaches, is amused at this gossip.
He's always been known to use
the type of offense that would
work best against a particular op
ponent. Last season those teams
that used a fast break made the
most of 'Us great advantages.'
Slats, of course, didn't use a fast
break last season because he won't
use any type of offensive or defen
sive maneuver unless he's sure
he'll have a definite advantage.
In 1933, .when Oregon State
won the Pacific Coast conference
championship, Slats had as fine a
fast break as the coast has ever
seen. Big Ed Lewis was the leader
of a fast break that would give
any fast break of last season an
interesting evening. Again in 1935
Wally Palmberg led the best fast
breaking offense in the league.
If it happens that Oregon State
has players who really can fast
break this season, that type of of
fense undoubtedly will be a part
ot Oregon State's game."
"13" Still Evident.
"Positively the last straw,"
said "Spec Keen when he
learned that "Doc' Power had
broken n leg.
After a football season that'
saw about every member of bis
quad in the hands ot "Doc" for
treatment of breaks, bruises,
contusions, torn ligaments etc.,
to find "Doc," himself packing
n cast only served the more to
bring to "Spec' the knowledge
that this is his "ISta" season
at Willamette.
"I suppose Ira next, laughed

Gus Welch of Carlisle Fame Looks
For School at Which to Play Team
Of Volunteer Crew of Footballers
WASHINGTON, Dec 20. (AP) Gus Welch the old
Carlisle Indian who stepped out as coach at American univer
sity today found himself with a flock of football players but
no school at which to play them.
"Ever since the country found out that I had only 13
players at American university, said Welch, "I ve been get
.Qting applications from sympathe
tic American boys who want to
help me.
Gus whipped soma letters from
his pocket.
"Here's one," he said, "from
three football players in a south
ern hlah school. They're the whole
side of a line. They offer to play
for me next year."
He dug deeper and brought
out another letter.
"This is from a 2 C 0-pound Tex
as guard," he said. "He says to
giro him a scholarship and my
line troubles are orer. No team
gained a foot through him all
fall."
Gus then produced his ace of
fer.
"This one," he said, "is from a
whole team. Eleven players and
two subs. They" all want to come
and playl for me."
The Indian who used to thrill
the east with his speed when he
played for Carlisle was talking
fast. He quoted from the letter
" 'We are a junior college
team,' he read. 'We ran up 272
pounds last year to onr oppon
ents none. We don't want to be
snapped up by colleges scattered
throughout the nation. We want
to play together.' "
Gus shook his head sadly. There
was a tear in his eye as he contin
ued to read.
"Bring ns with you," said the
letter-writing gridder, "and see
ns play. You will experience en
during fame as a coach."
With his pockets stuffed with
the letters Gus said goodbye, and
instead of doing what lots of
coaches are doing right now
looking for players went out to
look for a Job,

Rose Bowl Plans
Of Troy Changed j
Bad Weather Keeps Stars j
From Getting Training
for Duke Tilt
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20.-(&)-Southern
California's Rose Bowl
training plans took on a different
aspect today as the Duke univer
sity football team prepared to
leave North Carolina for the Jan.
2 clash in Pasadena's tamed sta
dium. Two weeks ago Coach Howard
Jones mapped out a comparative
ly light training schedule, fearful;
his Trojan war horse would be
over-drilled by the time the Dukes
hit Pasadena.
Today, however, with hardly a
good practice behind them after
continued bad weather, Jones is
afraid the outfit will be under
conditioned. Whether he will go ahead with
hia plan of not scrimmaging the
squad before the game Is problem
atical. The headman called the
Trojans out for practice today,
but the prospects were that It
would be a duplicate ot yester
day's session, which turned out to
be a water fight and nothing
more.
The veteran mentor walked
onto the field and sank to his
shoe tops In water. Before he
could call the thing off, the rol
licking grldders had begun the
merry game ot tossing eaeh other
into the puddles ot water around
the field. It was great sport, but
hardly the right practice for the
battle with the Iron Dukes.
Baseball Attendance Is

NEW YORK, Dec. 9-JP-Professional
football was th
standard-bearer for a general in

est in pro sports that was the
chief 1938 sports trend noted by
the 70 critics who took part in
the eighth annual Associated

Improved showmanship in
football, baseball and racing
helped boost these rpectator
sports to the leading position,
while baseball attendance was
aided considerably by growing
interest among women fans.
Both baseball and football drew
attendance increases from tha
trend toward more night games.
Among -more than 50 trends
noted during the year, it also
was pointed out that rules
changes designed chiefly with he
spectator in mind had drawn
added customers through the
turnstiles for hockey, basketball
and colege football games. Coin
ciding with the greater drawing
power of the spectator sports was
a decided upswing in such par

Says He'll Stay With
Came Much Longer
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20. WP)
-Connie Mack, beloved manager
of the Philadelphia Athletics.
looked forward today to his 76 th'
birthday come Friday and assert
ed he'd stay in baseball until "I
don't know my business or trade
a .300 hitter for a .200 hitter."
"People ask if I am tired of
baseball' said Mack. "I ean only
give one answer! There is nothing
in baseball I dislike.
"What's more, I'll stay in the
game as long as my mind Is clear.
They say when a man advances in
years his mind isn't so clear.
When I reach the stage where I
don't know my business or trade
a .300 hitter for a .200 hitter,
then you'll know I'm unfit. Until
then, I'd like to stay around
here."
Actually, Connie will be 78 on
Thursday the 22nd. For years he
believed his blrthdate was De
cember 23 until last -year when
someone dug np records In the
East Brookfield, Mass., town hall
showing he was born a day ear
lier. He's going to stick to the De
cember 23 date for his celebrat
ing, nonetheless.
The veteran leader enjoys excellent-health
and is active and
vigorous.
