The poor guys didn't know from one week to the next whether they would find their images being hung from the. highest tree on their respective school campus. It got so bad in the late stages of the campaign that many sent scouts to scan the campus, seeing if it were safe to check in at the school Monday morning ... One fel low took no chances.

Memorial Trophy ballot is in, wid we will Join umpteen-dozen others across the land in selecting college football's most outstanding player of 1955. Ohio State's How ard (Hopalong) Cassidy is as certain of receiving the award as you are of paying your taxes and; good as he may be, Cas sidy qualifies as a modern reason for old Bob Zuppke i famous quote, "An All-American is made by a long run, a weak de fense and inspired writers." In other words, the gay's name and reputation Is so well known to gents like o arse If that hell get totes from many who have sever seen him play.' Too bad the Heisman award Isn't for "year's outstanding coach" .as well as player, for our vote would then go quickly for Tommy Prothro. What a tremendous job he did with Ore gon State this year, one that surpassed even the hopes of the Beavers most ardent supporters .. . Kyle Rote Having One of Bigge$t Year$ Our good friend Bob Daley, the New York Giants publicity department, has been keeping us np to date on the individual doings of .the Gotham footballers, and it may be surprising to some to note that Kyle Bote, one of the older athletes on the - club Is having one of his greatest-years In the ragged pro sport ' The onetime Southern Methodist Ail-American has tallied six touchdowns to lead the team in that department, and has caught t 21 passes for over 400 yards, which is tops in the entire NFL. As mentioned here some time ago, Rote has been playing as a regular offensive end much of the time this season. Hence his fine pass receiving mark But he also still plays some at right halfback and has a 4.1 rushing average . , Note too in the statistics on pro football that Norm Van Brocklin, whiz of the Los Angeles Rams, is having one of his worst pitching years. He's far down the-list of NFL passers, in the No. 11 spot. Time was when Norman gave Otto Graham quite an argument for the No. 1 spot . . .

No sooner did Lenz strut into the Armory the other night, garbed in his soft red velvet get-up, including sleeves that reached clear up to his elbows, than some young femme gave forth with a squeal and spouted, "Why there's oi' Henrietta, - just as store WtTm sittihhefe .

One of the early December basketball opponents for Ore- '. goa State at Corvallis will amount to one of the biggest out fits In the nation. Et Shelton's Wyoming Cowboys have no less than seven lads on the 12-man squad who measure over I feet, S inches in height . Changes Again Noted in Cage Rule And speaking of basketball, fans will note two. radical rules changes again the coming season, along with the colleg iate adoption of the 12-foot lane (twice as wide as the now outmoded 6-footer). One of the changes calls for the 1-and-l bonus foul to be in effect throughout the game, doing away with the all-fouls-two-shot-fouls-in-the-last-three-minutes. In other words all common fouls other than those on the shoot er, or of flagrant variety, will be penalized by one free throw. If the thrower makes it,' he gets another. If he misses the first . the ball is in play, The second change has to do with stalling by an individ ual. No player may retain possession of the ball for longer than five seconds If he is attempting to stall and if he is closely guarded by a defensive player. If guilty, a jump ball is to be -, called, ' ' ' The latter does not apply during team control of the ball, and fans will still see what's called the "stalling weave" where ,a number of players control the ball. But the individual can no longer control U during a stalling situation. This .was Injected into the rales in the hope that it would cut down stalling near the end of a game. But as we see It, coaches will only teach their athletes the art of team-control stalling; and we're right back where we've been at the end of a game when the team ahead is freezing the ball . , By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Chicaso Bears, back in their onetime familiar place at the head of the professional football race, get a chance Sunday to find out how really serious is the comeback effort of the Detroit Lions. The two teams clash in Detroit in ue mgnugni game oi a six- game schedule which should throw added light on the confusing Na tional Football League activities. The Bears drove into a tie for first place in the NFL's Western Conference by crushing the Los Angeles Rams last week 24-3. The Lions, who dropped their first six games, won their second in a row by whamming Pittsburgh 31-28.

In other games, the Cleveland Browns, who lead the Eastern Con ference, entertain the Pittsburgn Steelers at Cleveland, the Phila delphia Eagles meet the Giants in New York, the Washington Red skins take on the Chicago Cards in Chicago and the San Francisco 49ers clash with Green Bay at Mil waukee. The Steelers. who have won half of their eight games, will catch a Cleveland team shaken a bit by a loss last week to the Eagles. After running up 17 points, the Browns apparently became over-confident and saw the Eagles shoot past them 33-17. Browns Hold Lead The Browns, who have won con ference titles nine straight times, still lead their half of the compe tition with a 6-2 record, followed by Washington (5-3) and Pitts burgh (4-4). '. 1 The Eagles, who were pre-sea-scn: choices for the championship, lived up to their rating for the first time last week. Their line thwarted the Browns' hard-striking offense and Adrian Burk emerged as a real double, threat-runner and passer. : ' . - .

Arnett's stunning but nullified scoring run came, on a penalty that rarely happens to a team re ceiving a kickoff. Usually the kicking team is offside.

Hunter of USC from his seat in the press box. - Frank McCormick, veteran boss of officials in the conference, said "This would have had to happen on a dramatic run like that.

" j But did you know that deposits, which build up in your engine during daily driving, soon cut down this fine response? In combustion chambers, they glow, red hot and fire the gasoline a split second before the piston reaches firing position . . . resulting in an incomplete power stroke. On spark plugs, the deposits cause short circuits and your engine "misses" Wasting still more power! High octane alone can't stop this dual power loss. TCP can. TCP, the specially developed Shell gasoline additive, neutralizes deposits as they form. It stops both pre-firing and spark plug failure. That's how TCP keeps top octane delivering split-second response. Only Shell Premium Gasoline has both TCP ami top octane. It's the most powerful gaso line your car can use! Fill up today at your.
