Dec. 20. (A) From a perspective of 44 years, Ty Cobb looked buck on baseball today and observed the game haa grown lens attractive. Friday was the 44th birthday of I the Georgia Peach, who spent more than -O years in major league base' ball. Me celebrated quietly ot home with his family a custom be has never varied tince hia marriage in "To me the game seems to lack a t-ort of spontaneity now he said. "The close plays, base running and other interesting features have been lessened by the orgy or home run un ting. "Hack before the days of the lively Imll the outfielders played ueurer the infield and figured in some fast throws and hairline decision plays. The present came needs more com- petition, more clone scores and harder fought game. The lively bull has served to eliminate some ot tuese at tractive points. Doesn't Draw "Years ago I remember when crowded stands greeted a seventh place club late in September. Kiev were out to see real baseball with all the old tricks of the came. Nowa days oily the leaders and the first division clubs nlav to full stands. J y hiH no comment to make on the draft, question recently discussed at i ne nuseoaii meetings hut ob served the elimination of the sticri fici fly would affect the game very little. Cobb is content now to rest and play. He's getting pleasure aplenty out of romping around with his fam ily. Cobb said his negotiations with the Philadelphia Nationals had been ended, "I've been considering other pro positions but haven't found one yet iuni sounds good, ne anued. "The expense end of the game has advanced fur ahead of the attendance. The first division teams find the came profitable but it isn't such good busi ness for the others." Although Ty is out of baseball ac tually, the old lure is there in inter est. He'll either go to Florida when the spring trnining camp trek begins or he may decide to watch some club training in California. All-stars Win In Fr'e Scoring Tilt The T. M. C. A.

John J. McEwan, former head football coach at Oregon and now in charg. of the football destinies of Holy Cross, a Jesuit college, dropped into town Saturday for a several days' vacation in and around Eugene. Mc Ewan figures on catching up on his hunting and fishing and will take things easy tor a while. "Cap" had a good season at Holy Cross. The team liaun t oenten Mar vard in years, and they stepped out and trimmed the lamhridge hoys witn n score of -7 to nothing. The Holy Cross eleven won every game this season except the one with Lordham. who went undefeated in the East until they lost to St. Mary's of California. "Cap" doesn't expect to have as good a season next year, however, as he will have to work with too much young material, but he ex pects to have hie best team in 1932. As to hie prospects after that, he is unable to say since a coach can't look more than two or three years ahead due to the uncertainty of ma terial. McEwan had gone to Holy Cross under h one year's contract but be cause of his success this season, has been signed for three years more. Can ikes it back there, but says the fishing isn't so good in those parts and he expects to do a lot of it while here. He stopped In Portland for Sev ern) days nnd went duck hunting down the Columbia, and the shooting was fine. '"You can say that I'm glad to be here, and that my visit has al ready been an enjoyable one," said Cap when interviewed Saturday. He had a whole cluster of friends around him at the time. If the ex Oregon coach doesn't enjoy his visit, it won't be because his friends aren't glad to see him. Colbert and Christensen, Oregon's nil-coast linemen, left the other dny for California to get ready for the Christmas East-West classic at Keznr stadium. The game, sponsored by the Sliriners, is to be a charity affair, and advunce indications point to a stadium full of spectators. Johnny Kitzmiiler. Oregon's "Flying IUitcli n.an" and "most valuable Pacific Coast player for 1030," will play in the backfield, so Oregon will be well represented in the lineup. Ihe game features the outstanding players from the West against a similar group from the East, nnd ranks in importnnce with the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena on New Year's day. Kitzmlller has been spending hie time at the Olympic club in San Francisco while training for the game. He stayed down there after seeing the Notre Dame-Southern California game at Los Angeles. Colbert and Christensen returned to Eugene and started for San Francisco afoot. The two big men, who were teamed as the "quarter ton tackles" last year, pal around together most of the time and they' decided to save car fare by hitch hiking. According to word received here Saturday, however, they fell in with a driver who was going dear through to San Francisco and they rode all the way witn mm. The driver must have been glad for the chance to enrry the big players to the scene of e)ie game, but it must have worked something of a hardship on his car. Christensen nnd Colbert iimke up n load anytime. It will be E SOUTH FOR ROSE I0UR1MEIUI61E PORTLAND. Ore.. Dec. 20. W Twenty-five Washington State Col lege football players, and the eudless retinue that attends a big-time team, dropped into Portland today on the way to Pasadena and the New Year's classic witli Alabama. Champions of the Pacific Coast conference, the Cougars expect to have their hardest game of the year with the much touted Crimson Tide of Alabama, undefeated in the Southern conference. Special "homecoming" parties were staged here for two Portland boys. Mel Hein. all-American center, and Lylc Haskell, end. A breakfast of hamburger was served on the station platform to Butch Meeker,' the LtMJ-pouna cougar mascot. Coach Babe Hollingbery was not llscussiii? methods of attack today, but it was said he has developed a pass defense, strengthened Ihe for wnrd wall although it has shown no sign of weakness, and worked up tlie aerial and ground defensive. The Cougars have gone through two weeks of hard practice nnd will get more of it before tlie game on .w enr s day. .Many or tnem er,nea the grind with bruises and minor injuries, nlthoiigb none was badly hurt. Mel Hein. center, and Olenn Edwards, treated roughly in the Villnnovn game Nov. 'JO. will be back in form within n dny ot so. llollingliery said both probably will get in the starting lineup. remembered that the big boon-com panions carried took at vnuer mse all summer, only to be replaced by a team of mules when the football sen son stnrted. St. Marv's high school basketball team, coached by Father Leipzig, has won all three of Its "B" league gnmea this year, and is looking forward to tl, ,-iii with Snntn Clara Jnnunrr 5. The Catholic team bent Elmirn with ,.nri of 21 to 14. Thurston with n score of 2R to 0. and Coburg with a 20 to 1rt score. Plain, old fashioned enthusiasm has accounted for much of the team's success, since Joe Berg er is the only regular who returned from last year's team. Most of the players have had little experience, but Father Leipzig is highly pleased witn their work and is expecting them to make an even better showing as the season progresses. Lud Wray was fired as coach at Pennsylvania after the boys re fused to play because they charoed Wray was harsh with them. What Penn wants is a Wray of sunshine. It's too bad Lud Wray couldn't be named coach of New York univer slty. Then they might nickname him Violet Wray. The funs like action In wrestling inntcbcs. and that's why Herb Owen is hilling six fust little men for his Fri day card. With six like O'Reilly. Mor rell nnd Vangler on the mil. mere shouldn't be any dissatisfied custom ers. These boys have mode the main events tough sledding for the big wrestlers, for they put on such fast prelims that the mnin shows have looked slow and dull. It's high time tlie little boys get a break, and Owen's action will be applauded by almost cverv gniiiiiling fun in town. M'EWAN! Bff I 1 1 Here'a Capt.
