Unitversity of Tulsa out N of the
football sticks into the big time
in two years, Is shooting for the
moon this fall. One look at the
powerhouse ' squad , taking " shape

' convinces the experts that a third
' straight undefeated season and the
pick of the bowl bids are not out
of - Tulsa's reach. , JT;
Frnka, after two ' consecutive
trips to the Sugar Bowl, knows the
opposition will be making' a spe
cial effort to knock him -off this
year. But it's hard to be pessi
mistic about Henry. His sensa
tional 4-F gang . roaded thrcugh
1943, losing only a 20-18 thriller
to Georgia . Tech . In the Sugar
' Bowl .and it returned almost in
tact to be blended with a wealth
of new1 material. Frnka's new ma
terial includes some top prep
school stars.

- PCC pow-wow: The Northern division, Pacific Coast conference
" boys gather 'round at Astoria today for the annual pre-f all and winter
meeting, and since the top and only topic appears to be basketball,
the session will probable break all records for briefness. Tis said the
NDPCC members will again engage in nothing but basketball com-
petitively and the modernistic ar

Washington Husky cage power,
thanks to the trainee program,

ington - Oregon clash, "Uncle"
Hec.Edmundson chewed his gum
only faster and tossed the might
iest of the Husky might against the
rest from there on ouVworse luck.
. '. . There's" nothing which says
Edmundson can't do it again this
time, although the convening
members may argue like the dick

Greys Haven't Hung 'Em Up for Season -
Head Chapel Officer Frank W. Jto'gers of Warden George Alexan

two and possibly three more games slaJedA Sunday the Vancouver
rire uepanmenx -wmte jsiepnants'.come down and the following
Sunday it's the "Kern Sign" nine of Portland. Weather permitting,!
the Greys would like to play-even" more games if competition can
be found . . . And that's not all. Rogers says the OSP boasts a very good
softball team which has broken even in a series with the Keith-
Browns, Percy Crofoot & Co., and in one game Crofoot had a hard time
beating "The Prison Softies" (their official handle) 1 to 0. The Softies
ive a couple games lined up, too next Sunday the Pepsi-Colas of
'Corvallis and the week following the Portland Police Department the
latter boasting one recognizeable Leonard Younce as slugging per
former. Just like the Greys, the Softies are seeking additional outside
competition also. In fact they Wouldn't mind playing a "road" game or
two. before the summer is out . . . About Crofoot he pulled one of those
"They'll Do It Every Times? when the K-Bs had a game scheduled not
'long ago. Just as the team was getting set for the battle Mrs. Crofoot
presented the wmdnuller with a future windmiller. A 7-pounder ac

Jones
vs. Nelson: Would Make
Great Match, Opines Corcoran
NASHVILLE, Aug. 31-
Bobby Jones and Byron Kelson.
Two magical names of golf, sepa
rated by a couple of decades.
Graying '.Fred ?Corcoran,' PGA
tournament manager, bridged the
20-year gap with reflective gray
eyes today and concluded: "Jones
against Helson? what a match it
would be. I would be the Demp-sey-Xiouis
battle of . golf. If . they
played a 12-hole match, honest, I
wouldn't bet a nickel on the out
come. X believe it would be a dog
f all." r
. Corcoran said he was at Jones'
heels in most of his major tri
umphs. He has watched Nelson
rise to the crest of modern gshot
makers. "On his record, you would
have to give Jones the edge," the
PGA manager asserted. "Bobby
won 13 major titles before his re
tirement i and was runnerup to
other mala events. Kelson has on
ly two major titles to his record
the US open and PGA.
Tut Nelson squares off against
golfs best almost every week and
licks them much of the time. Jones
played only four big tournaments
a year." - . f; -? : ' ; " -,' -
Tht edge Corcoran gives Jones
en l.'s record he declines to give
the Georgia wizard on the golf
eours?. "You'd have to rate t i
t f)SQ off the tee. Alf great golf
frj are strong eff the tce-lons
and straight Nobody was ever
better in this department than
Jones and Nelson. . r
"Id give Nelson the edge with
his long irons and Jones rates a
little better close to the mens.
As for putting, you'd rate both
as just fair, sinking the long ones
wnen they have to. As for tern
peraments, Jones' was the great
est competitor I ever saw, always
rising to the occasion. Nelson is a
great competitor, too, but of an
other sort. He's dogged and me
chanical." r
