About The Oregon statesman. (Salem, Or.) 1916-1980 | View Entire Issue (Jan. 8, 1952)
Former Indiana Star Makes Return From the standpoint of prestige, we. imagine the entire Pacific Coast is disappointed over Forest Evashevski's decision to leave Wash ington State as football coach and return to the Midwest at Iowa. The man's name and ability was a credit to the .coaching end of the grid sport here in the Northwest.' But then, on the other hand we don't imagine the other PCC men tors are too unhappy over Eva shevski's departure. In two year's time he built the WSC Cougars into a soft touch for no one. He was a hard one to beat last au tumn, and was getting tougher as he went along. One doesn't mind stiff competition in any sport. But in these days of win-or else in football, it's always nice to see the tough guys playing in another part of the country. . . . Fairly good bet as possible successor to Evashevski at WSC would be Mel Hein, the all-time great college and pro center who got his start at Cougarville under Babe Hol lingberry. Hein as line coach for the Southern Cal Trojans last sea son earned a goodly share of the credit for the fine campaign the Trojans had. . . . Speaking of football, the new high school dis- tricting plan in the state can be blamed for the new trend in scheduling at the Vik Villa. Whereas the Salems once played the tough ones (Medford, Klamath Falls, Hillsboro, etc.) along with their Heague games, they now face such teams as Sweet Home, Gresham and Leb anon instead. Sweet Home, in this district, is the latest addition. And to make room for the game with the Huskies, the Salems had to drop their annual Big Slk Leaguer with Springfield. At the rate things are going, the day will come when such annual non-district foes as Eu gene and Astoria will be lopped off the schedule also. ... Ever wonder just what "big time" football of the present day actually costs? We spotted an item in Dick Strite's Eugene Register Guard column on the topic, and if Dick's figures are correct which we believe they are), the abbreviated profit and loss statement on the U of Oregon's 1951 grid campaign is presented herewith: Cost of football, $160,000. Receipts, $145,000. Deficit, $15,000. But with Oregon to get around $20,000 as its share of the Rose Bowl pie,N the net oper ation for the season will amount to a slight profit for the school. . . . These are the figures for Oregon. They may be considerably more, or perhaps less for other "maior" schools. But at any rate' they show that football is mighty big business these days, a Jot bigger than many folks realize.. Little wonder that such schools as St. Mary's, -Loyola, San Francisco, Portland U, etc.,' dropped the sport because they couldn't make ends meet. ... Vttndtds Looked Sharp in Dotening Huskies Nothing flukey about Idaho's stunning victory ever Washing ton al Seattle Friday. We saw both Vandal-Husky clashes. The Friday nirhter was a matter ef fine all-around play by Idaho, and particularly on defense. The Vandal defensive maneuvers had the Huskies out ef stride throughout, and Coach Chuck FlnJey had his squad "up" to a soaring level - for the game. Idaho is plenty big and has a-sound ball club. Flnley is playing two platoon this season, a, la Jack FrieJ at Washington State, and it ' was hard to tell in Friday's game just which of the two Vandal nits was the better. On. Saturday night Tippy Dye changed both his. offense and de fense! from- the night before, and the switches: worked with much effectiveness. Both games were torridly played battles, but were clean throughout.' rv . !"-.-- What with Washington's top pointman Bob Houbregs injured in the Friday night clash, some folks immediately figured he had been wounded purposely. This is an absurdity Houbregs was injured when he came down to the floor after making one of his leaping hook shots.. He twisted an ankle when he hit, and it was serious enough that he could hardly walk the next day. The injury is in the Achilles tendon, a' very bad spot for athletes. This is no prediction, but it won't be surprising if Houbregs is badly handicapped much of the season. . . . Crowd of 5,800 With Vidio, 11,000 Without It' The shall-we-or-shall-we-not argument Involving the tele vising ef collegiate athletic contests had a big fat answer over the weekend in Seattle also. The Friday night game was televised theughout the Paget Sound area. The attendance at the game was &S00. Saturday night's game, with no television, drew a near-ca-' pueity gathering ef over 11,000. Pro-television authorities had what they felt was an answer, however. Snow and ice was everywhere Friday night, while n Sat urday night most of the .white stuff had disappeared and rain was falling, a much better night during which to brave the elements. . . Regardless of which team wins the District 11 basketball title (Salem, Sacred Heart, Silverton, Woodburn, Mt. Angel, etc J; things will not be easy in the first round of state tournament play at Eu gene March 18-22. The District 11 champ is to face the No. 16 titlist in the opening round, and from present appearances the No. 16 team will be either Lincoln, Jefferson or Roosevelt of Portland, all de cided toughies. . . . Incidentally, should you want to order your prep cage tourney ducats early you can now get them via mail Order through the Oregon School Activities Association, 1010 Broadway Bldg., 715 SW Morrison, Portland 5, Oregon. ... Sudden thought: Should Bob Houbregs' Injury be of such nature that he's hobbled, up for the season, the more ardent U of Washington fans will bear watching else they all Jump into Lake Washington. Losing Houbregs on top of losing Don Heinrich for the entire football season may be too much for 'em to take. . , . Philomath at Salem Academy . . . Capitol League in first Sound Basketball Action The initial league action of the season for the Capitol Basketball Loop takes place tonight on two fronts, Cascade Union High and Salem Academy. At Cascade the resident Cougars will open 'with the Stayton Eagles. At Salem Academy the Crusaders do their inaugurat ing wiin ine rnuomau warriors. The Sacred Heart Cardinals, fifth member of the league, will be idle tonight. They swing into action Friday at the Salem Armory with the Staytons. "On the strength of their respect ive showings . in the league jam boree ' last month, - and in pre league games, Joe Boyle's Stayton Eagles and Dale Parnell's Cru saders rate favored roles in the openers. Sacred Heart won the jam," with Salem Academy fin ishing a close second. Bernie Hill's Philomaths weren't too impressive in the jamboree, but may have improved considerably since then. X. rating of the teams in the circuit by the coaches finds Leo Grosjacques' Cardinals selected as the title favorite.- But stiff com petition is expected to come from both Salem Academy and Stayton before the race is long under way.

Burke, a veteran of tournament play despite his 28 years, missed a five-foot putt for par four on the 18th green as the assembled thousands in the stands let loose a groan that was more a roar of sympathy.

The win gave Coach John Lewis' Methodists their third straight conference triumph and a clean sweep on the early-season road trip. Willamette whipped College of Idaho twice over the week end. Guard Dick Fain tossed in a bucket to give Whitman the 74 74 tie with time fast running out, but almost immediately the Bear cats' Doug Logue, whose game to tal of 20 tied him with Fain for scoring honors, was fouled in the act of shooting and hit his first charity toss to make it 75-74. Logue elected to take out of bounds in place of a second shot and the Lewis club then began a successful stall in the remaining minute. Out of a scramble Dick Hoy cast in a field goal in the last seconds to give the WU crew their final margin. Whitman, sparked by Fain and Bud Kight, stepped out to an 18 15 first-quarter lead but Willam ette, with Logue, Ted Loder and Dick Mase carrying most pt the load, zoomed to a 37-34 inter mission advantage. The third quarter count favored the Bear cats 59-51. The Methodists found them selves in a dilemma as the tilt hit the home stretch, Loder going out on fouls at the tailend of the third chapter and Lou Scrivens following early in the fourth chapter. That put new life in the Whits and they roared up only to be denied in the final mo ments. Mase was next to Logue in the 'Cat scoring column with 18 and Loder had 17. Runnerup to Fain's 20 for Whitman was Kight with 17. The Willamettes will arrive back in Salem Tuesday to start preparations for their next action against Linfield at McMinnville Saturday night.

This would be $2,000 a year more than Evashevski was receiv ing at Washington State College where he resigned Sunday after filling two years of his WSC con tract.

How soon Houbregs will return to the suad after that depends on how the leg responds, the phy sician said. The leg was injured in a fall Friday night against the Idaho Vandals in Seattle.
