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. . , .

from Whitman's fighting Mis
sionaries 77-74 after breaking a
74-74 deadlock with only 1:39
left.
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

college sports, the presidents also
recommended:
1. That all post-season games of
any kind be abolished.
2. That basketball games and
practice be confined to the period
between Dec 1 and March 15.
3. That baseball games and
practice be confined to the period
between March 1 and Commence
ment. Freshmen Nixed
4. That not only should no
freshman be allowed to play on
a varsity team, but also that any
transfer from a junior college
should put in a year of residence
before being allowed to play.
5. That scholarships should be
given strictly on the basis of the
student's educational ability and
his needs.
6. That in no case should any
scholarship be for more than the
educational expenses at an insti
tution. Dr. John Hannah, president of
Michigan State College and chair
man of the special committee set
up by the American Council on
Education, disclosed the plans at
a news conference.
The new athletic code now goes
to the executive committee of the
Council on Education for approval
or disapproval.
There is no indication how soon
it will act, but .Hannah told re
porters previously that he hoped
the sweeping new code would go
into effect by the start of the next
school year.
