The "March of Dimes." or the nation's annual drive to wipe out Infantile paralysis. Is on again. And once again the world of sports has boon asked to do Its part. A year ago. thanks In great part to the many sports events staged over the soon try. a record of aid for polio victims was made. But i ..... . i. .. uvwrcr c w m . summer the worst Infantile paralysis epidemic In Js years. Through Grantland Kice, dean of American porlswrtters. we have been asked to once more eaofet In the annual drive to raise funds in Marion county through the media of athletic events. In the past we have asked all high schools, junior highs, colleges and Independents w ho plav basket ball to set aside at least part of their receipts of one of their games for the Marlon County Sports Polio fund. The local bowling alleys, wrestling and GRANTLAND RICE boxing promoters snd golf course were called upon also. The re sponse Has grsnd. and the fund was richer by almost 20t through the efforts of these Marion county people after the last drive. That SZOvw went a long way toward making It poaaible that polto strirken bors snd girls would be able to walk and run again. Half of all funds donated In Marion county stay right In the county to battle Its cases of the disease. The other half goes to the national foundation to combat epidemics and to aid In research and education which will one day wipe out the disease entirely. No one will twist your arm if you overlook pitching' In to help this year's drive. We know that you know the value of the dimes and dollars you might give and what they can do. So how about It, sportsmen of the county how about staging that basketball game or slicing off a chunk of the gate receipts for your shows or simply teas la a donation, and soon! Either mall your donations to the Mar ion county chapter of the Red Cross or to us here at The Statesman. Make checks payable to the "Infantile Paralysis Fund. Marion Coun ty." and. believe us. even thin dimes will be welcome and appre ciated. Buty Week for Football Argument So It never rains but what It pours? Take a look, and then duck: Oregon. Oregon Stale and Willamette U, the state's topmost col leges, battle football woes la rapid succession the Dacks via a replacement for Tex Oliver, the Beavers with the Locey-SUner squabble and the Bearcats with Walt Erickson's resignation. Ore gonlaa Man Lair Gregory, who Is fatalist enough to believe all athletic sadness comes In gobs of three should have some fun with that trio. The Loccy-Stiner beef. If that's what It can be called, hasn't been settled yet And with the way things have been going, about the only way the OSC Institution can now convince the public that ae ill-feeling exists between the two Is to get them together, sur round the background with cooing doves and olive branches, get Locey to plant a big kiss oa SUaer's unf arrowed brow and take a panoramic picture of the whole thing. Then release the plx for all the public to see. Otherwise, about the only relief the school will have ts to accept, a resignation from either Locey or Stlner. Should the strained relation continue to be unremedied. It's our guess that Locey will do the resigning, not Stiner. The bigger boys of OSC go for their Lonnle Stiner In a rather hefty way. It seems too hefty to let him get by with leaving the place. Departing Mr. E rick ton Holds a Record Rather than go to lengths, say a few thousand words. In yielding the reason for his resignation. Walt Ericksoa accomplished the task In one simple but straightforward sentence, I discovered that coaching no longer held the same interest for me that it had prev iously." Thus the Bearcat boos, rather than worry himself bald headed over It by fighting the situation, admitted after ope year that he had lost teach with the art of coaching during his six years way from It and decided he would likely live longer were he to give It up. Smart man. - It might also be mentioned that Ericksoa probably is the only college coach la captivity who had bat esse year of It. and In that year woa himself a conference championship! Tho "Pied Piper" we wrote of the other day has already gone to work It seeoaa. Meaning that Dick Sinovtch. a hot pitching pros pect at which many a pro club has ogled thoughtfully, and the lad who Is to hurl for tho town Senators eons baseball season, was actually plucked off the rortlaad. sandlois by Jack Wilson, new Solon skipper. There will be others, too Just wait and see. . . . And at long: laat the Be a vers-Sens tor bare finally begun signing baU play er. Wo were begin a lag to think the Ueup was sound asleep, fig ring no help for either the Beavers or Salens waa necessary for 1947. As far as tho upstate end of the family Is concerned, sorely tho Bcvo bigs know that only about half of their 1946 attendance of 163.64 will bo tkeir reward If they don't produce another hot flag contender. ...

A capacity throng of nearly 7000 will be present to see the Official Urged Aid to Play ers Smith Asketl NCAA Be Frank, Not 'Pure' LARAMIE, Wyo., Jan. 16-lPi- One voice called for open, regu- i lated aid to athletes at last week's convention of the National Col-; legiate Athletic association but j the cry for frankness was lost in the surge for "purity," it was disclosed today. Dr. Wilbur Smith, student health director of Wyoming uni versity and 1946 president of the' NCAA, challenged the collegiate body to approve a frankly regu- j lated, official scholarship plan rather than tolerate growth of an j alumni "hand-out" system. In-, stead , the convention went strongly for a code restricting sanctioned aid to athletes and providing schedule boycotts against non-conforming schools. Dr. Smith said that several col legiate athletic conferences "are now quite well organized in the matter of giving aid to ath-, letes" and implied that they should be allowed to handle this and other problems themselves with the NCAA dropping its judi-J ciary role and becoming an ad-: visory group. He declined to am- ; plify his written statement in an , interview but did say that in his i opinion the conferences which j gave the greatest amount of rec- j ognized and regulated aid to ath- I letes are "the most honest." He j named no specific conferences.
