in .1 vi l r rom me JDieacners py ai ugnmer The "christening juice" should be dry now, (broke a bottle of fizz-water over the head of this "sports editor's delight" a while ago,) so here we go. More hash in hashing out the Beaver Bowl win, which has been hashed and rehashed ell over the place now, but here's one faithful who really had the Staters picked all the way. He's Carl "Zeke" Curlee of the Albany chamber of commerce. (Found a couple of letters from Carl to "Maizie" Gemmell in a pile of you guess whats in, under and on Ron's old desk). Not only does Zeke prove that he prognosticated perfectly with a copy of a letter to a West Virginia friend dated Decem ber 2, but encloses a sensible comment of his own on comments made after BUI Stern's broadcast on that memorable day. "I disagree with you on the score that Bill Stern deliberately favored Duke during his broadcast of the game," says Zeke. "He did talk more about Lach, Davis and Company, but that can be discounted, for by the fact that Bud Forester, you, and other sports authorities in the Northwest fell down on your jobs, xou failed to acquaint the writing and babbling gents of national hookup facilities with the Oregon State brand of football. Bill just knew more about tuke and their football players." Proof of the perfect pick is borne out as follows "On the same field with Washington, Washington State, Stanford, California and Oregon, it is a good gamble that the Blue Devils wouldn't be quite so devilish. In a nine-game sched ule the 'Bull Durhams' enjoyed at least seven of the softest kind of soft spots while there is no such things as a soft spot in this Coast conference. They are just tough and tougher, and they go hell-bent-for-the-pig's hide from September 'till Turkey Day." "And don't think it was the rain that stopped Stanford. I tell you these, tree-toppers can stop anybody. They stopped the mysterious Frankie Albert so that his gains were minus and his passes were wild pitches. Then just last Saturday they put leg irons on two of the fanciest backs west of the Great Divide, Curt Meacham and Tommy Roblin." "I am one who believes firm ly and with reason that Mr. Lach and others of Mr. Wally Wally Wade's Blue Devils will find New Year's night a very blue night. Runners like Lach are vermicelli for these kids. They just "lach" 'em, and they Hughes Hops To Lead in Rainier Meet ik really do take 'em apart. "Because this is a cow college with an unknown coach and an unpublicized football team; be cause it is deep in the big woods with wooden-shoed co-eds and hairy-chested boys who go bear hunting with their fists; and be cause they are referred to by other Coast conference schools as 'country cousins,' they are a cinch to go into the Rose Bowl on the short end. They'd be underdogs against the West Virginia Blind Institute." "Who ever heard of Lon Stiner? Who ever saw Quentin Green- ough's classic mug glorifying a 24 sheet cigarette ad? Who ever saw Don Durdan in the "news reels? Who ever saw Martin Chaves' name on a razor blade? Who ever saw a movie of "Dethman of Ore gon State? Nobody!

Greenough is one of the best snapper-backs I have ever seen, and I've seen Vick at Michi gan, Nemesic at Ohio State, Les ter at TCU and Buck Weaver at Centre college. And now I see Greenough, and he's tops. He is the defensive diagnostician, a murderous tackier, one of the fastest men on he squad and the brains of the Jine. "Don Durdan, made out of barb wire and whalebone spiked with nitro-glycerin, is little Mr. Touchdown himself. There is no better back on this coast. Durdan is not flashy and doesn't appear extra fast, but he does everything well and is fast " enough to get where he is go ing before the other fellow. His punts rarely ever appear extra long, yet somehow another they seem to come to rest inside the ten-yard line from almost any where on the field. And he nev er gets his pictures in the pa pers. But you'll se 'em plenty after 1-1-42. "Durdan's running mate is Dethman, and Dethman is a car bon copy. The only difference is that Don is a southpaw while Bob does his chores from the right side. : .. "If there is a better guard on the coast than Chaves, a lot of people out here would like to see what he looks like. Chaves is big and rough and tough, as fast as a half-back, and as smart as a tree full of owls. Blue devils, red devils, or yellow devils, they all look alike to him. And you can bet your winter underwear there will be some teeth-chattering in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day when Mr. Chaves starts to crack the Duke ball toters.

GILBRETH DURHAM, NC, Jan. 31-P) Wallace Wade, who has never ab sorbed a bad licking in a quar ter century of coaching, would rather turn out a weak football team at Duke next fall than one composed partly of freshmen. That doesn't mean, necessa rily, that Duke wouldn't go along with other colleges If the majority favored changing the eligibility rules so that fresh men could fill the gaps in war depleted squads. But Wade personally thinks it would be a mistake. "It's true there's going to be s dearth of football material be cause of the war," said Rose Bowl Wallace. "But there are . more important things than winning football games." Here are Wade's reasons for not liking the freshman idea: 1. The kids need a year of conditioning before they're ready for the varsity squad. Otherwise, they're more likely to get hurt. 2. Freshmen have a hard enough job simply becoming acclimated to college life. Enough of them flunk out as It is. 3. Because of the war, most colleges are trying to graduate students in hurry. This means freshmen will take addi tional studies, and ifdjktball would cramp their school work. Duke probably will lose a good portion of its Rose Bowl squad to the armed forces, but the biggest loss may be Wade himself. The 49-year-old coach was i captain in the last war, and his friends say he's itching to get back into service. Wade won't comment on this angle.

Sf--Leo Durocher, who piloted the Brooklyn Dodgers to the National league pennant last year in his third season as manager, signed a new one-year contract to day and learned at about the same time that his regular third baseman has enlisted m the naval 1 corps. I nk& One-Termer President L. S.

Lavagetto, who played five sea sons with Brooklyn and for the last four years was named to the National league all-staream, took flying lessons last summer along with his fellow Californian and teammate, Dolf Camilli. Both" earned amateur pilot licenses. The third baseman informed the club that his draft board had not advised him of any contem plated change in his 3-A classi fication, but that a brother he had been supporting now had a job and that he felt it was his duty to enlist. MacPhail said he and his man ager had agreed to terms about as quick as a snap of the fingers. Although the terms were not dis closed, best estimates seemed to be that Durocher would receive about $22,500 for this year.

Marv Gilberg, who is like the little girl with the carl in being very, very good when he's good, broke up a see-saw argument in the last 10 minutes of the open ing half with a deluge of six baskets. When Gilberg started the score was tied at 11-all after the lead had switched six times, and when the half ended WSC was in front, 25 to 12. His soaring, one-hand push shot made the basket look big as a well to the gaping crowd, and the halftime lead looked sub stantial enough to last a week. But not to Oregon State. The visiting Beavers merely fed more fuel to their methodical ma chine, boosting the pace slightly and driving Washington State's Cougars nearly frantic with their control of the backboards and the ball. Sophomore Lew Beck paced the attack, Don Durdan and big John Mandic pointed the defense and Oregon State dumped in seven points before the Cougars could connect. The Beavers kept hacking at the lead until a field toss by Durdan left them only two points in ar reas at 45-43 and then Gilberg reentered the picture witth two quick goals, Gail Bishop added an other and WSC was beyond dang er, with only two minutes left to play. Gilberg's 17 points gave him scoring honors and Bishop followed with 15. Beck, who tallied 11 in the second half, led Oregon State with 14. The Beavers, who move to Moscow Monday for a two-game date with Idaho, shifted from man -to -man to sone defense just before Gilberg went on his first half rampage. They changed back- at the start of the second stanza and clung to the man-toman for the rest of the route. The victory put WSC above the 500 percentage mark again with five wins and four losses and left them into the challenge position behind pace-setting Washington. which beat Oregon Saturday night.

Bad Coons looped a Jong one hander to start the field scoring when the game was two minutes old. Scoring famine took over at that point and the game became a sloppy exhibition of passing, dribbling and shooting on both sides. The first quarter ended with the score tied at 3 to 3, four foul shots finding the netstrings along with Coons' two-pointer. Looping long shots that missed were taken by both teams most of the second quarter until See borg, with ten seconds left in the half, turned loose a left-handed do or die cast to-put the Finns on the 16ng end of a 7 to 6, yes, SEV EN to SIX half time count. Exactly two field goals were made In the first half. Two minutes Into the third quarter Love broke through to a corner to cast the Finns' eight and nine points.
