Kansas Slate Grid
Coaches Resign
MANHATTAN, Kas., Jan. 20
M "Personal difference" be
tween a head football coach and
hit first assistant brought their
resignations today at Kansas State
college a school that never has
fired a gridiron tutor.
Professing both personal and
profeslonal respect for his aide,
Head Coach Wea Fry said he re
signed "because this school has
always maintained a position
above discords of this nature "
Stan Williamson, line coach, ex
plained his withdrawal had been
demanded by Fry six weeks ago
but added: "I am too dazed by the
whole thing to know what really is
happening."
M. F. (Mike. Abeam, athletic
director to whom the resignations
were sent, commented:
I thought I had a swell com
bination an outstanding offens
ive head coach and a great line
roach. Now it is all shattered be
cause of a personal difference. Not
once in our conferences during the
past two days has either man
criticized the other's professional
ability."
None of the three would define
the "personal difference," but it
will be aired tomorrow at a meet
ing of the faculty council on athletics.
Fry came to Manhattan with
Lynn O. Waldorf in 1934. The two
brought Kansas State it only Big
Six championship that fall before
Waldorf moved to Northwestern
in 1935.

ly fast teams this season, with
emphasis placed almost entirely
on speed and a heavy barrage of
field goal attempts.
Last year the Eugene games

rated by the national champion
Webfoot players as their out
standing encounters of the year.
Oregon won by 57-to-49 and 58-to-42
scores.
Both games will begin at 8
o'clock. Reserved seat tickets will
be on sale all week at the A. S. U.

Oregon State Defeats Idaho
In Defensive Hoop Fray, 20 J
MOSCOW, Idaho, Jan. 20. C4)
Those tall, consistent men from
Oregon State college, front run
ners in the Pacific Coast confer
ence northern division basketball
race, ecVed out the University of
Idaro Vandals by a 20-to-18 score
here tonight.
It was Idaho's seventh consecu
tive defeat and the sixth victory
for Oregon State, which has lost
but one game, that to Washington
State college.
A strategy of stalling, which
went against them in the first half
and left Idaho leading1 at the mid
point, 14 to 10, paid dividends for
the O. S. C. Beavers midway in
the final period by tempting the
anxious Vandals to foul.
Vandals Grab Lead
Idaho was never behind In that
opening stanza, although State
tied the score at 3-all and 8-all.
Both teams departed radically
from the slam-bang northern di
vision stylo to maneuver for cer
tain shots and check closely on de
fense. The Beavers won the war of
waiting with brilliant defensive
play through 15 minutes of the
second half, holding Idaho point
less while they edged up to take
a 15-14 lead on Valenti's Held
goal and free throw.
The Staters themselves had gone
scoreless for seven minutes. Hunt
er at last breaking from the foul
line to tally as he raced under the
basket.
Hilton Ton Scorer
Most of Idaho's 12 fouls were
markel up after Oregon State took
the lead. Atkinson, Idaho's guard,
was benched for four offenses, all
charged in the second half.
Individual scoring honors went
to Otis Hilton, Idaho, with seven
tallies. The Mandic brothers,
Frank and John, srored five each
to top Oregon State. Only cix men
saw action for each team.
