Friel Enters
24th Season
At WSC Helm
Picks His Cougars
To Fnd in Cellar
PULLMAN, Wash., Dec. 22-iJfy-When
the Washington State Col
lege basketball team takes on
Oregon State on Jan. 4, to open the
1951-52 northern division season,
it will mark the 24th year that
Cougar Coach Pack Freil has been
a restless participant on such an
occasion.
During the crucial moments of
a game he's a nervous jack-in-the-box,
burying his head in his arms,
squirming and in general appear
ing to be a cross between Eddie
Stanky and a caged mountain Hon.
Off the Floor he's easy going and
congenial.
Besides sending his 1941 team
to the national collegiate athletic
association finals, only to lose a
close game to Wisconsin; fielding
three northern division champion
ship clubs in the past decade and
always producing a fighting, hard-to-beat
quintet, Friel has made
other contributions to the game.
Two of his most recent, the two
platoon system and a new rule to
govern defensive fouls, have been
widely received.
The two -platoon system needs
no explanation except to say that
Friel used it two years before it
became a much discussed part of
football.
This fall, Friel, in conjunction
with the other northern division
coaches, proposed to the national
rules committee that a second foul
shot be allowed if the first toss is
missed on defensive fouls now
calling for one free throw. This
group and the Pacific Coast con
ference have O. K.'d the plan and
it will be tried for the first time
in northern division play this year.
Friel's WSC career began when
he entered as an undergraduate in
1919. He won three letters each in
basketball and baseball and cap
tained the hoopsters in his jun
ior year. After five years of high
school coaching his 1927-28
north central club of Spokane won
the state championship he re
turned to WSC as head coach.
The best player he ever coached
was Ed Gayda, Friel says, and he
filles out his all-time WSC five
with Paul Lindeman, center,
Claude Holstem, at the other for
ward, and Pete Hooper and Art
McLarney, guards.
Friel, who teaches a modified
ball control game with just enough
fast break to keep the defense
honest, says this year's club may
not be as good as some previous
ones. In fact, he gives it little
chance of keeping out of the cellar,
picking Washington to win, Idaho
second and Oregon and Oregon
State to fight it out for third.
Friel promises the Cougars will
play "interesting" games, however,
but he neglects to say "interesting"
for whom.

Late this fall he announced that
Matthews would campaign as a

there were "no developments" in

Matthews, now at his home
here, has no definite commitments
at present.
"I've got to give the kid a rets,"
said Hurley. "He hadn't recovered
from an attack of flue when I

From the 29 -year-old Matthews
the only comment was: "I'll fight

Connie Mack Comments on Ball
Trends as 89th Year Reached
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22 - (P)
Connie Mack celebrated his 89th
birthday today by solving the
mystery of his birth date, expres
sing opposition to a third major
league, calling. night baseball good
for the game, and regretting he
didn't go in for farm teams years
ago.
The exact date of Mack's birth
has puzzled biographers for years.
But no more. The straight-backed
old gentleman started his 90th
year by showing all his birthday
party guests his baptismal certifi
cate. It shows that Mr. Baseball was
born on Dec. 22, 1862.
Then he answered a barrage of
questions from reporters.
"I don't think it would be a
good idea for the Pacific Coast
league to become a major league,"
said Mr. Mack..
"First of all I don't think any
of the west coast cities, with the
exception of San Francisco and
Los Angeles are big enough to
support . major league baseball.
And I wouldn't want to take Los
Angeles and San Francisco into
our present two leagues because
it would break up the Pacific
Coast league," said the president
of Philadelphia Athletics.
Asked about night baseball,
Mack said, "I think night base
ball is good for the game. We
certainly draw more people at

rumors he may not be coaching

He admitted he has had offers

However, he said: "I have been

Ill-Fated Don Black
To Get Indian Payment
CLEVELAND, Dec. 22HfP)-The
Cleveland Indians decided today
to pay their ex-pitcher, Don Black,
any money he has coming because
of the brain injury that ended his
baseball career.
Black had filed his claim for
disability compensation with the
Ohio industrial commission. The
regional board here ruled in his
favor. Black collapsed while at
bat during a game with the St.
Louis Browns in 1948.
Just how much Black will get
was not disclosed.
Black got about $40,000 out of
a "Don Black" night staged by ex
President Bill Veeck while Black
still was in the hospital.

Klamath Falls ended in a tie last

The fans went home believing

scorers determined the count ac
tually was 58-58. By that time
the teams already had showered
and were dressing. The rival
coaches agreed to leave it as a
tie.
night since it gives more people
a chance to see the games. As for
the players, night baseball won't
cut their careers. That idea is just
something that's in their minds.
Mack, who long has opposed the
farm system, apparently has mel
lowed in his attitude toward chain
store baseball. He admitted that
the Athletics should have gone in
for farms a long time ago.
