This. that, etc:
Final statistics for the Michigan State football season reveal that
the Spartans tallied exactly one field goal in their nine games, that
being of course the boot by Eugene Lekenta in the dying seconds of
the Orecon State came to provide
a 17-14 verdict for the MCS's.
Lekenta tried four for the season.
That's the only one he made good.
. . . On the other hand, the na
tion's' foremost collegiate touch
down machine turned out 45
touchdowns in nine games, to but
12 for the combined opposition . . .
Speaking of capable football
teams, the U of Iowa Frosh were
so impressive in Big Ten compe
tition during the season just fin
ished that the circuit's office
launched an investigation. The
school came out of it with skirts
clean. When Forest Evashevski
went to Iowa he made prominent
mention of the fact that he was
going to build Hawkeye football
into something big. The 1952
freshman team could be the foun
dation . . . None of those dread
ful four - games - in - five - nights
jaunts into the Palouse country
for either Oregon or Oregon State basketeers this Winter. Bojh the
WebXoots and Beavers will split up the Inland Empire trip, play
ing two games each voyage. Oregon plays at Idaho January 16-17
and ajt Washington State almost a month later, February 13-14. Ore
gon State plays Idaho t Moscow January 23-24, and doesn't take on
the Cougars at Pullman until February 20-12. Washington will make
two separate trips into Oregon "lor games -with the Webfoots and
Beavers, but both Idaho and WSC will play the UO's and OSC's during
the same respective trips. The Vandals and Cougars both undergo
the four-in-five routine, in other words. Washington also will split
up its Inland Empire jumps, playing at WSC in January and at Idaho
In February. The Huskies also have a three-game series booked for
the Hawaiian Island late in January . . . And since the cage sport
is once more with us, we suppose you've already heard the rumor
thit Slats Gift at OSC is after the Olympic Games bid in 1956. Said
rumor sez Slats will have Swede Holbrook as a senior then, and will
have held out Tony Vlastelica for a year so that he will also be
eligible. We don't know how or why such yakkety-yak gets started,
but somehow it does . . .
- II alb r oak Passe First Test in Fine Style
Speaking of Holbrook, the fabulous 7-foot, 1-incher. he has
, his collegiate basketball baptism Monday night, and came through
It In great style. We've always been among those who have in
sisted Halbrook will one day be one of the greatest basketeers in
the land. After watching him in his first whirl as a collegiate
freshman, we're now even more convinced.
He proved in his commencer that he can hook with both hands,
that he's a capable reboundist, that he has good "tip-in" touch,
that his stamina is good and that (this is most important) he can
stand the rugged bumping and banging that automatically comes
In rebound play beneath the baskets in college-style play.
. The big boy sailed through his first test in very impressive fashion,
which is unquestionably the reason why his coach, Paul Valenti,
sports little other than broad smiles this week . . .
Don Kirsch's Oregon Frosh blossomed with what appears to
, be a future great also in the former Cleveland High whiz, Jerry
Ross. He looked absolutely terrific against the Rooks Monday
night onre he got started, and we imagine Varsity Boss Bill
Borcher feels good all over when he watches the talented sharp
shooter go at it . . .
What Happened at End of UO-OSC Thriller
The confusion in Monday's UO-OSC varsity clash at its riproar
ious end was one of those things that couldn't, be helped. The game's
time piece was faulty throughout the night, and the official timer
had no gun to bangat the end of the periods. He didn't even have a
whistle, and had to shout when time was up. The buzzer on the
icoreboard was working only part time.
As the game came to what was supposed to be the climax,
OSCs Reg Halligan pumped in two free throws which put the
Beavers ahead by one point. Oregon put the hall in play and Ed
Halberg capped a feverish few seconds by hooking in a two-pointer
that epparrntly put Oregon ahead one point. Oregon State then
put the ball in play and took it to the far end of the scream
filled pavilion before the harassed timekeeper could signify that
the game wai over. He did it via shouting. He had no gun or
whistle.
Then came the question, "Just when did time officially end?"
The timer, who said he hadn't timed a game in 15 years, told that he
was watching the clock when time expired and didn't know exactly
where the ball was. He didn't know whether Halberg still had it in
his hands or whether the Webfoot forward had pushed it toward the
basket.
Since the decision, according to rule, Is entirely up to the
official timer, and since he didn't know the actual whereabouts
of the ball when the time ran out, there was nothing left to do
but call for an overtime. Both Coaches Borcher and Gill readily
agreed to it, and rather than start out with one team leading the
other by a single point, we declared It a S3-3 tie as the five
minute overtime began.
Thus began the basketball season Monday. And its a safe bet
there won't be another game ending like that in years 'n years. If
there is, we hope we're in Alaska . . .

Cats 'Scrim9,
Opener Near s
In the words of Coach John
Lewis, Willamette's basketballers
looked good in spots and not so
good in others during a Wednes
day night scrimmage with alum
ni stars.
This hot and cold tendency is
something Lewis hopes he can
work out of his men before their
season's starter against OCE's
Wolves at the Jefferson High
School gym next Tuesday night.
Pete Reed, the 6-3 freshman
center candidate from Scappoose,
drew praise from the Bearcat
mentor for his rebound display
and some effective shotmaking in
the scrimmage. Dick Hoy, soph
lettermen forward and-a probable
starter Tuesday, also showed good
scoring -punch and worked well
under the boards. Others drawing
praise were Duane Shield, soph
guard prospect and Bob Shepard,
currently rated a shade ahead of
Reed in the battle for the post
spot.
Dick Mase, standout forward
with one week of inactivity be
hind him because of a sprained
ankle, is slated to return to drills
today. Mase, however, is not like
ly to see much action in the open
er against the Wolves.

Michigan Head
Defends Bowl
CHICAGO OF) The University
of Michigan's president has in
directly defended the Rose Bow
football game.
In a message to the School's Chi
cago Club, President Harlan H.
Hatcher declared Tuesday night:
"I can say that Michigan, as an
institution, has suffered no harm
whatsoever from its participation
in Rose Bowl games. It has not
lost a thing from such participa
tion." Michigan scored sweeping victor
ies in two of the six Rose Bowl
games thus far played between
champions of the Big Ten and Pa
cific Coast Conference.
The president of neighboring
Michigan State College, John Han
nah, has led an effort at a presi
dential level to abolish all Bowl
eames and recently predicted the
Big Ten would not renew the cur-1
rent Rose Bowl pact which expires
with the 1954, game.

L
should consider fully an unsuccess
ful attempt to outlaw racing in
Oregon at the November elections
a move seen as designed even
tually to kill the sport in the United
States. ;
M. J. Alhadeff, general manager
of the Washington Jockey Club
which operates the Longacres
trade In Seattle, said -that "al
though racing survived this major
blow, we still are concerned."
Longacres Concerned
Alhadeff was a speaker at the
opening session attended by 100
officials from the 37 member TRA
tracks.
Alhadeff said that when the
Oregon anti-racing move came up
the Washington Jockey Club was
concerned because it was in a
neighboring state, and Longacres
was alarmed at the attack on the
industry.
"If the anti-racing formula in
Oregon had been successful, rac
ing in the entire nation would have
been in jeopardy."
It was in Portland that the fight
began, after Portland Meadows
track suffered a disastrous flood
in 1948, he said.
"It was in this area and against
this background that anti-racing
elements made their initial attack
in what is now conclusively known
to bo a ' national campaign to
destroy the racing and breeding
industry in the United States."
Several Groups In Fight
The Longacres general manager
said the Oregon Council of Church
es, aided by money from Various
theater interests and several front
organizations such as the Citizens
Against Commercialized Gamb
ling (CACG), spearheaded the at
tack. The anti-racing bill was "a con
stitutional amendment prohibiting
lotteries, bookmaking, and pari
mutuel betting on animal racing."
Alhadeff noted that lotteries and
bookmaking are illegal in Oregon,
while wagering had been legal
since 1933. He said this "vicious
bill, fraudulent in construction,"
was like asking "should the sale
of narcotics and ice cream sodas
be prohibited?"
