"One of them is that Joe Gordon will be the No. 1 second baseman of the major leagues in 1939. He had it right from the start last season, but had to get over a feeling of awe.

MYERS PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 30 (itfVAs the Duke end Southern California football teams slacked down today in preparing for their encounter in the Rose Bowl, the gridiron experts, fully equipped with parachutes, be gan the long crawl that leads to the end of a limb. Confidence, muted like a trum peteer's Instruments, issued from the rival camps after today's workout, but predictions on the outcome of this twenty-fourth annual struggle were pVased with caution and carefully wrap ped with reservations. Odd Theories Advanced Many theories hare been con cocted to base comparisons on the strength of the Immovable Dukes and the mighty Trojans. The oddest seemed to be the one that dealt USC an edge because the Trojan war horse kicked over California. 13 to 7, California defeated Georgia Tech, 13 to 0, and the best the Dukes could l,et over the Tech eleven was a 6-0 decision. Just how that should make CSC the favorite over Duke seems remote, in xlexr of among other important trifles, the fact that Duke played Tech last No vember 15, the USC-California gane was November f, and the Cal-Georgia Tech atfair was staged December 26, a month after both had finished their i ormal seasons. Just as logical, because it doesn't make any more sense, would be to say Duke has an edge because they defeated Geor gia Tech, Tech tied Alabama and Alabama walloped CSC. Comparative Scores Confusing To add that California whip ped Alabama last January 2 and USC slapped down California con tributes nothing but more con fusion to the matter. Someone figured out a USC victory because the Trojans went up against 10 opponents who von 51 games out of 91 played, while the Duke foes won 36 out of 73 games, which, they claim ed, gave tougher aspects to the USC -schedule than that waded through by the Dukes. Everyone agreed on one thing. It will be a hard fought battle. Sporl Netcs Complete reports of local and national sports events tvery day.

Bill Osmanski, line cracking fullback from Holy Cross, was still out of uniform as coaches Bernie Bierman and Andy Kerr sent the Eastern boys through signal drill In a single workout. Osmanski'8 shoulder, badly bruised during scrimmage a few days ago, continued to respond to treatment but it was considered doubtful he would be of much val ue to the team Monday. East's Kicking Specialists The duties of place kicking for points after touchdown will be shared by Louis "Bill" Daddlo, Pittsburgh end, and George Faust, Minnesota quarterback. They also will be called upon for any field goals attempted. The two pat In a long session at their specialty, hitting the mark well above aver age. Although lineups were not an nounced, it was pretty well estab lished Marshall Goldberg, Pitts burgh ail-American, would open the game at his favorite position, left half. , Bottari Left Half In the same spot on the West ern team will be Vic Bottari of California. The western squad, drilling at Palo Alto, spent two hours polish ing its offense and defense. Orin Hollingbery, co-coach with "Biff" Jones, said the players had learned their assignments thor oughly and that from now until game time it was merely a matter of ironing out the rough spots. Between 5 and 30 plays will be employed in the West's attack. Meanwhile, officials of the game predicted it would attract close to the 59,000 capacity of Kezar sta dium.

Yousah, what perfect skiing over the Christmas holidays, with just the right amount of new powder snow, and fast wow ! The leading financial experts of the world claim supply and demand govern prices of all com rrodities. Well, I guess that the hundreds of skiers who waited for bus rides at Government Camp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. last Monday can explain why prices raised from 3-for-$l to 50 cents per. Skierj wouldn't mind bo much the price, but when they have to stand around six or seven hours waiting for a chance to spend iourbits you can hear plenty of grumbling in many a language. No foolin'. Yes sir, it's hard to wake up and go to work during the week, but just try and keep a skier in bed on Sunday. Some of the boys are looking for twin alarm clocks one for Stevie and the other for Egan. Are their faces red! A couple of our local fans had a little tough luck a few dajs back and got battered up some, t-ut you can't keep a good skier down. Sorry fellows. But there's lots of time left and we'll be "skiing" you again soon. Who said something about the weaker sex? Horse feathers. None of the girls have been hurt yet. Keep it up, gals, make it a record. If you want to see some real thrills, action and high speed skiing, don't miss the events of the Portland day tournament blated for next Monday. The races will start from Lone Fir and run into the Alpine trail at the west end of the Lodge, fol low the Alpine to Corkscrew canyon where they will branch eff onto the Blossom trail, then aown.it to the upper creek which will mark the finish. Grid Gambler Held Parasite Coaches9 Meeting Is Told Practice Harmful but Can't Be Helped By EARL HILLIGAJf CHICAGO, Dec. S0-(i!P)-Gam-bling la Intercollegiate football's -No. 1 parasite," the nation's gridiron coaches were told today at the closing session of their 18th annual meeting. The public relations committee of the ' coaches association, in a report presented by L. P. Jordan of Amherst college, said the wide spread distribution of odds cards is harmful to the collegiate sport, but added: "There is little we can do other than refsse to predict winners of games." Player Insurance Urged The committee also reported a "callous indifference" in some lo calities to the problem of taking cars of football injuries and urged coaches consult with athletic di rectors on the possibility of taking out liability insurance. The re commendation also was made that five association coaches col laborate in writing a series of ar ticles on the sport next fall, with earnings to go to the association's treasury. Glenn F. Thistlethwaite of the University of Richmond, chairman of the association's stabilizing committee, reported coaches gen erally apathetic toward a study of ways whereby their positions could be made more secure. Only 12 coaches of 60 polled sent re plies to the question. Zuppke Retention Lauded The report commented on the "Zuppke case," pointing out that the recent refusal of the board of trustees at Illinois to accept the resignation of Bob Zuppke, veter an Illini coach, indicates that schools generally are taking long and loyal service into considera tion when attempts are made to oust football mentors. There is a general conviction, Thistlethwaite said, that recent years have shown an increase in the number of coaches given fac nlty rating and a decrease in the number of dismissals. Lou Little, Columbia university coach, was elevated from the first vice presidency to the position of president of the association, the post held through 1938 by Harry Stuhldreher of Wisconsin. The National Collegiate Athlet ic association wound up its three day session by re-electing Presi dent William Owens, professor at Stanford university, and Dean F. W. Nicolson of Wesleyan univer sity, Middleton, Conn., who has been secretary-treasurer for about 30 years.
