Hoop Hoopla: When you think
Of "fast," as pertaining to basket
ball, you think, of fleetness of
Coot . . . It Is, however,' the con
sensus of coaches and experts . ot
the game that fast hands and
fast, or "split," vision is of equal
Importance to speed afoot .
Fast hands are considered as important-
ia .basketball' as they are
la boxing; and the hoopster who
comes by a set of speedy dukes
Is fortunate , , . Ted Sarpola, the
'whirling dervish" Finn from As
toria on Oregon's current hoop
team, has 'em ... So does Scot
tie Sebern, the scrappy little, for
ward who won all-state honors
on Salem high's state champion
ship quint last year and who is
back in defense of those honors
this . . . Sebemt averages better
than two "teals" of the ball a
Came, and generally, convert's
those .."steals" into" fast dribbles
down the floor tor set-up buckets
; . . Frankle Page, who stole the
limelight In last year's state meet,
while siding Sebern at forward,
is another ' blessed with quick
paws . . . Fast hands are of as
much of anv asset offensively as
defensively, for they enable the
possessor to get off shots Impos
sible to one of slower grasping
organs.

aional football was so firmly es
tablished it was tne poncy 10
draft bie nam players with ln-
the trend now seems to be to
dispense with that racket and go
get the team players who will
help on the field . . . For instance,
Chicago's first choice in the draft
was Clyde Turner, an unpublic
ized center from Hardln-Simmons
... The only ail-American pmj
er selected in the first ten in the
draft list was Banks McFadden,
Clemson halfback for whom
Brooklyn has the first chance to

Mentor Declares
CHAPEL HILL, NC, Dee. 13-CP)-Its
the losing eoach the pub
lic generally associates with
character-building talks, but
here's a real top-notcher who
claims that "winning isn't every
thing." . t
He's . R. A. Fetxer, director ot
athletic since 1921 at the Uni
versity ot North Carolina, whose
teams during those 18 years
have batted .720 against strong
competition and hare rolled up
one of the most impressive all
sports records in the country.
"Look at it this way." said the
grand old man of southern sports
today. "We had only a handful of
major unbeaten football teams in
the country this fall, but I can't
think of all those other several
hundred college teams as failures.
"No, the real measure is how
much each team and its individ
ual members gave in ability, how
well they mastered themselves,
and how well they practiced real
sportsmanship.
"And sport and athletics, as
fine as they are. still are a part
in the broader and greater scheme
ot liberal education, which in
turn is part of the bigger task
of building character and- man
hood." When Coach Bob came here
in 19X1, he and his brother Bill
were the entire coaching- staff.
North Carolina had fewer than
200 boys out for five sports, a
single field for all five, and no
intramural or physical educa
tion courses.
Today the Tar Heels have 35
coaches, separate stadiums for
football, baseball and track, a
new 9550.000 gymnasium and
pool, and one of the broadest
physical education and athletic
programs in the south. Eighty
two and one-halt per cent of
male undergraduates take part in
some form of athletics.
This is a far cry from 1921,
when basketball and tennis had
no ' coaches, although Coach Bill
Fetzer traveled with the basket
bailers. Coach Bob also took the
court squad to New York on one
occasion in the old days, but once
the game had started the now
"dean of southern track" sneaked
off to watch the great Paavo Nur-
mi run in another part of town
It was a breach of duty for
which Coach Bob still is kidded,
but as he explained: "That team
didn't need a coach to win, and
besides there wasn't anything I
could do for them after they took
the floor."

Cream of 1939 Crop
to Keep Playing
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-UFh-
George P. Marshall, president et
the Washington Redskins, pre
dicted today that professional
football would get most of this
year's all-America players who
will be eligible to play for pay In
1940.
He pointed out that some were
Juniors and therefore not eligible.
Professional football this year
attracted the entire backfield of
the 1938 Associated Press all
America, and four of the linemen.
Only three of the eleven -Holland,
Cornell's great negro end;
Wolff, of Santa Clara and Bock
of Iowa State, didn't perform.
"There was a great shaking of
heads when these boys were
drafted by the professionals.'
said Marshall. "Most of the ex
perts said they wouldn't play, but
they did."
Davey O'Brien, the quarter
back, signed with the Philadel
phia Eagles and set a new league
record of 21 completed passes in
a single game.
Parker Hall established a new
passing record while playing for
the Cleveland Rams. He com
pleted 106 during the season.
Marshall Goldberg performed
in great style for the Chicago
Cardinals, and Johnny Pingel, de
spite injuries, helped the Detroit
Lions.
"No one," Marshall said, "can
say that Ki Aldrich wasn't one
of the great centers of the league
this year, and Waddy Young has
a fine future in the league."
Beinor played with a minor
league team and Heikkinen, after
a trial with Brooklyn, "found his
talents better suited to coaching,"
Marshall added.
Yanks Ball Team
Is Voted No. I
NEW YORK, Dec. lS-iThe
Cincinnati Reds should fed bet
ter now. . The team Which took
four straight world series games
from them was the No. 1 team of
all sports for 1939 in the opinion
of a vast majority of experts bal
loting in the ninth annual As
sociated Press poll.
In winning the honor tor the
fourth straight year the New
York Yankees rolled up the huge
total of 211 points, based on
three points for first place, two
for second and one for third. It
was the most one-sided margin in
the history of the poll.
The overwhelming choice of the
Yankees left second place the real
bone of contention among the ex
perts, with four football teams la
a tight race for the honor. Iowa,
with 37 M points, including 1V
first-place votes, finally won the
runnerup position, with Southern
California third with 34. Ten
nessee fourth with 33, and Cor
nell fifth with 26.

Former Oregon State Football Man,
Dallas Ward, Is on Vacation, But
Won't Ignore Prospective Gophers
"Well, if one walked up to me and acted like he wanted
to argue the matter, I wouldn't ignore him."
That was the answer given yesterday by Dallas Ward,
freshman football mentor of the University of Minnesota,
to the question, "Are you in the northwest in search of foot
ball material."
But Ward, who may be re-O
membered as a varsity end at
Oregon State from 1924 to 1927,
hastened to emphasize he was not
in this part of the country in
search of gridiron talent. He
stopped in Salem merely to re
new old acquaintances while en
route home after scouting the
Wash!ngton-TJSC game.. '
"We open against Washington
next fall." said Ward, who was
introduced to his interviewer by
R. S. "Spec" Kene, Willamette
football headman who was Ward's
freshman mentor at Oregon State.
"And, from what I saw of the
Huskies, we're going to have our
hands fall. Phelan is a fine de
fensive coach."
Football is played at the Big
Ten school the year around, ac
cording to Ward. No conference
rules against trotting out the old
pigskin any time4 they want.
f'ln fact," said Ward, "we get
moat of our work done in the
winter- time, using the big field
house we have. The football play
ers are divided into 'poor' and
'good' squads, and work out twlcs
weekly. Offensive fundamentals
are stressed, leaving all defensive
work until spring."
Ward, who is a native Ore
gonlan having been born at Lex
ington, Oregon, coached at Mar
shall high ot Minneapolis for sev
eral years before going to the
University of Minnesota in 1936
taking with him a number of the
boys he developed. Two of his
boys assisted the Green Bay Pack
ers to the national professional
football championship last Sun
day. Among those Ward called upon
while here were Howard Maple,
with whom he played at Oregon
SUte; "Spec" Keene; Clark
Jackson, teller In the Salem
branch of the First National bank,
and who was a boyhood buddy at
Lexington.
"We make ho effort to inter
est football talent out of the
state," Ward declared. "The en
trance requirements are so tough
for out-of-state students as to
make it practically impossible to
bring football players in. We had
but one out-of-state man on the
entire squad this year."
The tall, level-eyed ex-Ore-gonian,
who was considered a
"plenty potent" wlngman, as the
boys say, while playing under
Paul J. Schissler at Oregon SUte.
continued his Journey Mln
neapolisward yesterday afternoon.

In tbe history ot the Pacific Coast
league. ,
The Bucks have been playing
spectacularly despite the many
Injuries and illness to some of Its
players since the season started.
Bobby Rows has never had his
entire lineup available for any one
game. First, Louie Holmes was
out with a hip Injury. Then Red
Conn, all-coast guard was put on
the shelf with a bad leg. Now
Walter McCartney, leading scorer
of tbe team, is laid up with the
flu. Despite all these mishaps,
however, the Portland combina
tion -has been playing spectacular
ly. The two Buck defense men,
Sammy McAdams and Rook Suth
erland have done a herculean task
of playing almost 'the entire 60
minutes, time and again, without
relief, while Ronnie Martin, Mc
Cartney, Scharfe, Webster and
Oulette have all come through in
the pinch.

Both Clubs Shy
From 'Favorite'
For Psychological Reasons
Neither Bowl Eleven
Wants Advantage
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 13-VP-Tqt
psychological ; reasons,
neither side wanu to be the favor
ite when the football forces ot
Tennessee and Southern California
meet la tbe Rose Bowl on New
Year's day.
The boys who make tbe odds
say the game will be an even
bet, but bear stories already have
begun to be whispered across the
2.500 miles separating the op
posing camps. '
Tennessee coaches saw the flue
hand of a psychologist In a re
port from Los Angeles that Tro
jan coaches are worried because
there doesn't seem to beny way
to stop Tennessee.
George Leviaon, one-time North
western university quarterback
who scouted Tennessee for the
Trojans in their last two games,
handed in a report interpreted
as a warning that the Volunteers
should whip the men of Troy.
He said" the Vols were big and
fast, with three fine ball carriers
la George Cafego, Johnny Butler
and Bulst Warren, and that their
success was the result of a fast
line generating Immense drive.
. ' But there was another story
when AsslsUnt Coach Hugh Faust
reported to Head Coach Bob Ney
land what he saw when the Tro
jans beat Notre Dame and tied
the University of California at'
Los Angeles.
"Tennessee has never met a
team with the man-power of
Southern California," said Faust.
'They've got three big. fast teams
to throw at us and every man that
goes Into the game looks as good
or better than the other."
Faust indicated that when the
Trojans run their inside-tackle
power plays, they resemble tbe
stampede of a wild elephant herd.
"The Southern California play
ers are big and strong enough to
use sheer power alone," said
Faust, "but they are fast and mix
in a deceptive passing name. In
the Notre Dame game alone they
completed 15 of 28 passes."
He described Grenville Lans
dell, Trojan tailback, as "one of
tbe finest backs I ever saw, who
does everything well."
Faust said be believed the Tro
jans were the strongest tesm po
tentially be bad ever seen and
that included some of Alabama's
mighty powerhouses.
Nelson, Picard
Lead Golf Field
MIAMI. Fla.. ; Dec. 13HJF)
Either Henry Picard or ByroA
Nelson will emerge from the $10.
000 Miami open as the "man-of-the
year" in professional golf, but
there was-no assurance today that
either of the leaders would win
1939's final tournament.
As a record field of 220 wound
up practice for the start of play
tomorrow, Picard and Nelson
were installed as co-favorltes with
four others who are as bot as the
proverbial firecracker.
The boys who like to wager a
shekel or two on the outcome
listed both Picard and Nelson at
8 to 1, with Harold (Jug) Mc
Spaden, Ralph Guldahl, Dick
Mets and Jimmy Thomson at the
same figure.
Both tbe PGA Harry Vardon
trophy emblematic of professional
supremacy and the money-winning
leadership are at stake in
the tournament, with Picard now
at the head of the class in each
division.
Picard, the Professional Golfers
association champion, is five
polntsa ahead of Nelson, the na
tional open king, with 459 to
464, in the Vardon competition.
To beat out Picard, Nelson must
either win the tournament or fin
ish several places ahead of his
rival.
