One day both Jim Aiken and Lon Stiner t. . Y. . ... X i f I Sir: 1 ' I PHIL fCJtBOE As for SUner, there were a few howls heard last autumn ; when his Beavers weren't coin anywhere in particular, j But his supporters stood by him, and not merely to be in position for a snatch at his scalp. Lon has been with OSC since 1933. and holds coaching seniority over every other skipper In the Coast confer ence. Which, in these days of beheading coaches is a fine record in itself. That he has stayed on at Corvallis for so many years is another tribute to the non -blood thirsty alums. Usually the alumni of a school that doesn't finish 1-2-3 in leagne play every year hol i ler to the high heavens for a new leader. Not so In Stiner's case, for it seems that those who count are in full realization that in his ; IS years at OSC he has won 73. lost 47 and Ued 16 for a quite re ; spectable .608 'battinr average." i ', No doubt there are those few who howled last fall who would help uy Stiner a one-way ticket to Nebraska. But there are a great many more who are just as glad he has decided to staV at Corvallis as there ;are those Oregon faithful who are decision to suck around Eugene. i 4 I : Turo-Yecr Contract Puts Sarboe 'In at JTSC I Another conference mentor who seems to have at long; last put a stopper on the "we-wanna-new-coach" yakking at Washington State Js Phil Sarboe. Cougar faith in the man was surely stressed when they signed him jjp again for not one, but two years. Home from the football wars and looking fit enough to go bear hunting with a switch is Len Younce. captain, right guard r and place-kicking vet with the New York Pro Giants. Len was banged up a bit over the season and missed a few games. But he's shaken the wound completely and looks right now as if he could - go 60 minute at full throttle . . . Any day now they'll be announ- eing that Charley Petersen is the new mgr. at Wenatchee. Tis all ; eut and dried . ' ' Oregon State's well loaded Rook basketball team open up Mon Iday night in a prelim game to the OSC-Idaho varsity rassle with a jclub that should test its metal but.quickly. That would be 3ud Page's Lebanon Warriors, a right sharp prep crew. The Rooks are; loaded all right, but Carlos (Cub) Houck of Salem is reluctantly not one of the cartridges. Houck crippled his lame knee again, so will undergo an op eration for misplaced cartiledge. He'll miss out on the whole season. Another "name" absentee on the squad is Sammy Baker, te football mighty: Sam apparently got fouled up with his book work and is schol asticajly ineligible ... None of It for Amos Atonxo Staeg I One wee sidelight on the- recent footbaircbaches conclave at San Francisco came when Amos Alonzo Stacg. dean of .'em all. entered the auditorium where one of numerous ana on vacation, a lew of the coaches were imbibing of other than Coca Cola. The Grand Old Man of the .game, who has never taken a drink or smoked a cigarette, took one look, shoot his head, turned and left the place .... j - Big Bob Amacber, half of the pair of six-foot, eigh&inchers on the Webfoot cage crew, parted company with same crew "after differences with Coach John Warren." according to the Ore-on Daily Emerald. As last seaen proresed. the former flillsboro high lad looked as if he were to truly blossom into quite a college basketeer ... The new FFC rule that will forbid football coach es and players from occupying bench terrain less than five yart's from the sidelines will cause a mild shift in "Operations Aiken", next time. James and a good fistful of his gang usually kneel so . close to the line they get their knees white ... Rowdy Rufe Jones, the negro rassler, is at it again. In endleton the other night, Rufe irked one spectator to such a pitch tfcat the fan uncorked both his emotions and a bottle in the darkie's direction. The bottle conked Rufe on the head and sent him to the hospital for a two stitch sewing job. The spectator's accuracy cost him $54.50j an assault and battery fine .... So better not throw it, armory chums - -just .ban .pntp it and thin About What jrpn'4 Jik to do I . . . --"- were all but one, and the; next they were very much back again and "happy to stay in OregorC It's easy to sit' back and second guess both gents, and its just as easy to agree they were wise to cling to current assignments. .Take Mr. Aiken first: After all he has done in two seasons for the university, both spiritually and financially, it was indeed silly to even think the "U" would let him get away in the first place. He's put more gold in the Oregon football coffer in two years than was found there in 22 bfore. That he should get tome of it, in the form of a "big time" sized contract was a foregone conclusion. And after all, that was unquestionably what Jim was angling for when the Ne- braska talk came up. The guy was entitled to a fat raise, used the right method in operating on it, and cot it. i breathing freely again after Aiken's j banquets was to be given.
