MEL. WASUEY
HHJ he land here?
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 . .

he'd like to know "how to get

"I'm not criticizing the fellows

from Ted Scbroeder, who said in
Australia that Mulloy had never

"I don't mind being lambasted

"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

In reply to Schroeder! state

Schmitz statement was the first
formal word that Cassill had rec
ommended the discharge of the
coach who tutored two Ail-Americans.

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.

miracle if he plays.
Offensively Pool will lean on
Towler, who l-d th? league in
rushing and who accounted for
nearly half the Rams' sizable
ground yardage. Towler will play
at both left halfback and fullback
The other key offensive perform
ers will be Quarterback Norm van
Brocklin, league - leading passer.
and Bob Waterfield, who led the
league last year.
Pool said he would start Van
Brocklin but would lean heaviest
on the one who was the sharpest,
most confident.
His other backfield starters were
scheduled to be Right Halfback
Vitamin Smith and Fullback Tank
Younger.
Japs here last week. Such is the
opinion of -Matchmaker Elton
Owen, who has the tag team re
match capping his Tuesday night
wrestling card. .
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. Owen re matched the
teams and ordered that the title
trophy be at stake.. -Ross
himself will appear In the
