Walsey has been released outright by Spokane, and Senators Boss Luby is expecting to hear from the hard-hitting outfielder any day now. Yes, Luby wouldn't at all mind having him in Senator livery neft season. Wasley wants to play here, too. . . . Our .outdoor editor and expert Don Hajrger con tinues to climb in the sports mag azine world. Frank Dufresne, VTP in the Field & Stream: family, during a recent visit told that Don has been made the magazine's of ficial generalissimo for aC outdoor sport in the Oregon-Washington area. Conseauentlv our man will have signed articles on. hunting f and fishing m jus$ about every f issue of the popular publication. Funny part of it is, Don's wife out- L fishes him at just aboot every turn . . '. Which brings to mind the dandy outdoor program on hunting and fishing, called "The Sportsman's Club," overKPTV television station each Thursday eve at 7:15. It's a goodie for both grownups and kids alike . . . The rumor was out before the football season started, same telling that this would be Howie Odea's last year as Washington football coach. But ifs a cinch its originator didn't know Just how Odell was to part com pany with the Seattle school. It was figured that he would resign and go into business, which s a smart move for any football coach. In stead, he says he's been canned by Harvey Cassill, the Huskies' athletic chief . Local Sports Provided Surprises During. 52 Another year aboet to be wrapped op, and along its coarse : came many surprises In sports. Sticking strictly with the local angle, well list a few and yoa can select the one that in your opinion rates the No. 1 spot: One would he the Santa Clara Bronc showing in the NCAA quarterfinals tournament at Corvallis last March. The Bronc cagers swept by UCLA and Wyoming to gain a spot in the national finals at 6eattle. Then there was that Jolt that came during the broadcast of the American Legion Junior Baseball playoff between Salem and Hawaii at Yakima. The Capital Posters were sailing along in great shape, being far ahead lte in the game. Suddenly came the an nouncement that the game was being protested by the Hawaiians, and bedlam came right near busting loose among the home folks listening here. Or perhaps the Senators' baseball wins over Seattle and Port--' land would rate the top spot. Both were surprising achievements. Mill City's landing of the state seftball tournament created quite a stir, and the canyon elty did right well by It too. Senators Boss Hugh Luby was involved in two dandy surprises (1) the night he got picked off third base by Wenatchee Pitcher Chuck Oubre and (2) the night he and Yakima Mgr. Dario Lodigiani tied Billy (The Magician) Bishop's hands securely with rope only to have Billy get 'em free in the blink of-an eye. OCE Grid Victory Over OTI One of Best Over around Monmouth we would imagine the OCE football victory ever Oregon Tech weald rate the No. 1 position. The Bill Mc Arthur-John Chamberlain Wolves were supposed to get licked 100-0 in that one. Then there was 7-foot, 1-lnch Swede Halbrook's decision to forego the gilt-edged basketball offers from across the nation and continue his education (and basket balling) here in the state. That was a real surprise. The surprise that Eric (The Arrogant) Peterson got at the Arm ory one Tuesday night when someone gave him a cheer (not related to the Bronx) was indeed memorable too. Post-game proceedings in Bend, in which Viking Coach Lee Gustofson played a leading part in following the Salem-Bend grid fray provided a whopper of a surprise also. Later on the Viks tied Eugene 21-21 in their spectacular touchdown duel, and that too was indeed surprising. , , The going-away present the Slfverton Eed Sox presented the town Senators in their post-oeaaon Waters Field baseball clash rates a prominent mention also, and the night earlier In the sea son that Andy Anderson smacked home run over the right field fence left the gallery aghast also. There were oddles more since last Jan. 1. But these should at least rate a little recognition In tho roundup of surprises for fast-fading 52 . .

SEATTLE m - - President Henry Schmitz of the University of Wash ington backed Athletic Director Harvey Cassill completely Satur day in the controversy that points to the dismissal of Howie Odell as head football coach. Odell said Tuesday Cassill had told him he would not be retained. The coach's three year contract Mulloy Irked AtHowAmerk Squad Selected MIAMI, Fla. m Gardnar Mul loy, the nation's No. 1 tennis play er according to USLTA ranking announced last week, said Friday he'd like to know "how to get on the Davis Cup squad." "I'm not criticizing the fellows on the squad," the 38 - year - old Mulloy said in reply to a blast from Ted Scbroeder, who said in Australia that Mulloy had never won the big ones. "I don't mind being lambasted by Schroeder and Tve never criti cized his or other players' abil ity," Mulloy replied. "But it is unfair for a player who did not support the tourna ments to be chosen over players who earned the right to play. "The last two years Schroeder was not in shape and had not been playing. He didn't deserve to be picked. He was picked over several who had played and sweat ed it out over the circuit." In reply to Schroeder! state ment that he had never won a big match, Mulloy said: "I beat Schroeder at Newport in the finals one year, or doesn't he consider that a big match?"

Schmitz statement was the first formal word that Cassill had rec ommended the discharge of the coach who tutored two Ail-Americans. Don Hemrich and Hugh Mc FJhenny. during his five years at Washington. Odell' s record this year was sev en victories and three defeats and his team finished third in the Pa cific Coast Conference race. He now is in San Francisco.- head coach of the West team which will play in the annual Shrine game Dec. 27. Termed Regrettable The president said it was re grettable that the public discus sion of this situation has centered around so - called personal dif ferences between Coach Odell and the director . of athletics when in fact the roots of the issue go far deeper." He said Odell had "demonstra ted a lack of the cooperation es sential to the welfare of any uni fied athletic program." Schmitz added it "is our conclusion that Mr. CassiU's recommendation should be approved." Now the issue goes before the University Board of Regents. Dr. Donald G. Corbett of Spokane, president of th board, has said the regents would meet during the third week in January. Cassill was known to be pressing for an earlier decision, possibly to speed the installation of a new coaching regime. The athletic director said he did not include the name of a pre ferred successor in his recom mendation that Odell be dismissed. It is widely believed, however, that Freshman Coach John Cher berg has the inside track to the job. Prep Coaches Interested The Washington High School Coaches Association, meanwhile, asked consideration for some man from their ranks. Signed by Presi dent Jimmy Ennis of Everett and addressed to Cassill, it said: "The Association, while not ap proving or disapproving the con templated coaching change at the University of Washington, would like to call attention to the many tine and capable men who are coaching or have coached in the high school field throughout the state of Washington. "We offer no individual candidate but urge that the field be thorough ly explored Schmitz said in his. statement there was no consideration of Odell 's won - lost record "nor was there any criticism of Coach Odell as an individual. He said the Alumni Association's Board of Directors supported Cas sill and that he had talked the situation over in detail with Dr Corbett, who in turn had discussed it with most of the other regents. i They at Least Dress Prettily Church League Cage Standings CLASS A LEAGUE W L.

All ended in bedlam, and a Ma- cera-Baillargeon victory last week as the duets provided the semi windup to the Tony Ross vs. Lou Thesx heavyweight title scrap. Ref Harry Elliott was tossed out of the ring, Macera had Yamato pinned and Sakata had a sleeper hold on Baillargeon, practically all at the same time to climax the wild, riotous melee. When Elliott got back' into action he gave the match to the cleanies, which cre ated somewhat of . an explosion with the meanies. Anticipating a n o ther sizeable session.
