Uollingbery on Skillet in San Francisco
San Francisco scribes, often a spear-barling lot who don't
care much where the spear falls, have been drawing a bead on
on? Orrin (Babe) Uollingbery the past week. Although Uollingbery
has been oat of the coaching bis for many years, and is now a
prosperous Yakima Valley businessman, he still has quite a bit
to do with the annual East-West Shrine rrid classio In that ho
help line up the talent for the West squad.
What the SFers are chirping at is this: How come three Wash
ington State College (Babe's old school) players made the team this
year when only three players from the entire state of California were
named to it? They point out that WSC had a lousy record for the
season and that the class of western football resided in their Golden
6tate.
One of the scriveners, outspoken Prescott Sullivan of the Exam
iner, went so far as to demand that Hollingbery be banished from
the Shrine game as one of its officers so that such nonsensical pranks
cannot again occur.
It does seem rather odd that Washington State College alone
would have as many lads in the game as the whole state of Cal
ifornia. Quite amusing to we north westerners too, eh? Bat Holling
bery is being lashed in the Bay Area prints because of it, and it's
understandable.
Sander Took like Star$ to North-South Game
Nary a UCLA player participated in the Saturday game, the
reason being that Coach Red Sanders was mentor for the North vs.
South Shrine game of Christmas Day at Miami, Fla., and took two
of hii Bruin stars with him, namely Don Moomaw and Ernie Stock
rt. Moomaw was voted outstanding player of the game.
The same mentioned San Francisco scribes would have It
. known that their resident Shrine officials are quite miffed be
- cause Sanders took the likes of Moomaw and Stockert to the
Miami game instead of to San Francisco. Bat knowing Shrlners
as we do, no one was really Irked. After all. the Miami clash was
a Shrine Hospital for Crippled Children benefit also. Just as was
Saturday's sortie at -fian Francisco. ...
Getting back to Hollingbery, he isn't what you might call a really
popular gent in this area either. He's the gent who is being blamed
for the move that keeps the Tri-City WI League franchise at Kenne
wick, blocking its transfer to Eugene. . . .
Quito a program the local Junior C of C has lined up for
Jan. IS in the Willamette Gym. Main event will of coarse be the
appearance of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, playing
the local Marion Motors City League outfit. On the extraeuriealar
side will be (1) a preliminary game featuring the barnstorming

featuring top-drawer pinr pong experts and (3) an act by one
Jacques Gordon, a world-famous French uni-cyclist who travels

The tag team duets of Mr. Sakata-Toi Yamato and Antonio Bail-lorgeon-Lu
Macera collide again Tuesday night at the Armory in a
rematch stemming from the wild and disputable squabble they had
here last week. They'll cap Matchmaker Elton Owen's card, which
will also include a pair ox pre
lims.
Of considerable note is the fact
that Tony Ross will do, the ref
ereeing of the main event, after
he voluntarily appears in one of
the prelim mixes.
Tony got into the . post-match
fireworks last week, after the Jap
duo had been declared winner via
disqualification over Baillargeon
and Macera by Referee Bronco
Lubich. The cleanies figure they
got a raw deal via the verdict and
have been clamoring for another
shot at the Oriental exponents of
the Judo chops and sleeper holds.

In the scoreless third period, Ore
gon State's Sam Baker got off the
second longest punt in the 28-year
history of the game when he
booted the ball 71 yards from
scrimmage to East's four.
Don Rhoden, of Rice, who played
a tremendous defensive game, in
tercepted a pass by O'Connell early
in the fourth period, on the West
31. It led to a touchdown.
Washington's Heinrich connected
with Barker for 20 yards to the
East 49 and then hit Vessels with,
a perfect 24-yard strike. Vessel
rambled on 25 yards for the touch
down. Bob Reynolds converted to put
the West into a 20-14 lead. It looked
then like an almost certain win for
the West.
The field was wet and soggy and
rain was pouring down when the
East put the ball into play on its
own 29. Field general O'Connell
whipped the ball to Paul Dekker,
big end from Michigan State good
for 18.

Billy had his hands out for it. Bob
Reynolds of the West dove and
batted it down.
O'Connell then caught Dekker
again for seven and McAuliffe went
through for three to the five yard
marker. Bill Reynolds 1 swept

winning point.
