Dobbs Unanimous
AAAII-Sfar Choice
NEW YORK, Dec. 15 UK
Seven youngsters, playing their
first year of professional football,
Saturday made the United Press
All-America Conference All-Star
team which contained a rookie
backfield.
Glenn Dobbs of the Brooklyn
Dodgers was a unanimous choice.
The brilliant passing, running,
and punting star was a "one-man-backfield"
all season on a club
that some of the wags re-nicknamed
the Dobbgers."
Dobbs, former Tulsa star, who
played a halfback position though
he directed the team play, was
joined in the backfield by two
Cleveland players, Quarterback
Otto Graham and Fullback Ma
rion Motley, and a Yankee star,
breakaway runner Orben "Spec"
Sanders at halfback.
The end position went to Mac
Speedie of Cleveland and Alyn
Beals of San Francisco. The
tackles were Frank "Bruiser"
Kinard of the Yankees and Martin
Buby of the Dodgers, while the
guard posts were held down by
William Eadovich of Los Angeles
and Bruno Banducci of San Fran
cisco. Bob Belson of Los Angeles
was the center.

Roosevelt Tips
Axemen, 53-37
By DEWEY RAY
The Roosevelt High Roughrlders
walked off with their gecond lo
cal basketball scalp Saturday
afternoon by 1 defeating the de
fending state champion- Eugene
Axemen S3-37 at McArthur Court.
Friday night Roosevelt barely
edged out Springfield 42-41 and
last week beat Eugene in roruana,
also by a 16-polnt margin.
Basketball was sacrificed for
rough and tumble scrapping most
of the same and superior back
board work and straight shooting
provided the Roosevelt winning
margin.
The Axemen , showed a few
spurts of form but never displayed
the smooth teamwork that carried
them to a state championsmp jasi
year. A comparison wiwi mi
Springfield performance against
Roosevelt Friday gave an indica
tion that the Eugene club may not
have too easy a time of H in the
district race.
Plentv of Foull
Kueene was charged with . S3
personal fouls but Jim Winters of
Roosevelt was tne only piayer to
collect enough fouls to be ousted
from the game. He was banished
with about a minute and a half
left to play.
The Teddies showed a well-bar
anced attack with Guard Don
Peterson rjacine the attack with 16
Doints. Center Jackson Winters
collected 11' and Forward Dick
Robertson got 10. Gene Miner led
the Eugene attack with eight
points.
Eugene's only lead of the game
was in tne first minute 01 piay
after Dick Garrett laid one in
under the basket for the first score
of the game. John Chaney pivoted
and flipped in an overhead two
hander to tie it up for Coach Rol
He Rourke's crew and Robertson
out the Teddies ahead to stay.
Jack Winters scored a freethrow,
field goal and another freethrow
1 give the Portlanders an 8-2
lead. The scoring see-sawed back
and forth until the quarter enaea
with Eugene trailing 10-18; Eu
gene pulled up to within four
points at 22-26 at the halfway
mark.
Peterson and Malcolm Bolin led
a spirited attack in the third Quar
ter that increased the Roosevelt
lead , to 41-27 at the end of the
period. The fourth quarter was a
wild affair with lots of knees, el
bows and hips. Roosevelt managed
to increase its lead, however, and
the final margin was the biggest
of the game.
The center, position continued to
be the unKnown factor tor Eugene,
witn jonn Banns getting tne start
ing call against Roosevelt. Coach
Henry Kuchera used a total of 17
men for the contest.
Eugene reserve strength failed
to tell against Roosevelt as the
Teddies offset the fast-breaking
speed of the Axemen by taking
most of the rebounds off the back-boards.

Fine Form in Practice
MELBOURNE, Dee. 15 OP)
Fank Parker of Los Angeles and
Gardnar Mulloy of ' Miami, Fla.,
looked more than ever like the
potential U.S. Davis' Cup doubles
team Saturday as they again beat
the former U.S. doubles cham
pions, Californian - Jack Kramer
and Ted Schroeder, in two sets,
6-3, 7-5.
The California-Florida combin
ation whipped Kramer and
Schroeder in another practice ses
sion, taking three out of four
sets.
Kramer, top-ranking American
player and slated for No. 1 duties
in the cup singles matches, Dec.
26, continued badly off form in
the tandem play but displayed
sparkling tennis in the - singles.
Schroeder has been giving a good
account of himself and. the latest!
indications are that he will take
over the No. 2 role in the singles
against Australia.
Both the Australian and Amer
ican squads will be named Mon
day but it appears a foregone con
clusion that the Cup defenders
will select Jack Bromwich, Dinny

as their foursome. - s
Cornell Has Troubles With Grid Slate
USC Balks; Independent Foe For October 4
Schedule-maker Anson B.
Cornell, the University of Ore
gon's graduate manager of ath
letics, returned to his desk at
McArthur Court still shaking
his head while Southern Cali
fornia and California remained
off the Webfoot's 1947 football
schedule.
Cornell treked to Pasadena,
earlier than necessary, hoping
to get the machinery working
that would give Oregon an at
tractive slate especially to get
the VSC Trojans to come north
next fall, lie not only couldn't
persuade high and mighty Troy
to move out of the southland,
but failed to book the club that
usually provides the Webfoots
with a big hunk of their .".nnual
grid budget cash.
Southern California did offer
to play Oregon in Los Angeles
October 4, but that would be
tho week after the Oregon open
er against Texas and the week
prior to tha Oregon-UCLA tarn
in Los Angeles, necessitating
two trips to Los Angeles in as
many weeks or a, sojourn of
some 10 days In the south even
with air travel. The game
against UCLA's champions ap
peared more lucrative than a
JJSC contract USC did indicate
the Trojans would come north
. to play Oregon in 1948.
Cornell said that Oregon will
consider booking an independent
opponent for the October 4 date.
In the past Oregon has met such
comparatively neighborhood
schools as Utah, Goniaga, San
ta Clara, St. Mary's and Port
land (formerly Columbia.)
In three meetings against
Utah, Oregon has always been
the victor. Against Goniaga the
Webfoots have won 5 and lost 1.
Both meetings against Santa
Clara have been victories. St.
Mary's has won 6 of 7 meetings,
and Oregon has won 5 of 6
meetings from Portland (Columbia.)
Utah is a possibility for a date
In Eugene. Goniaga may not re
sume football next fall. Santa
Clara Is the most likely, but the
Broncos played in the north last
and may wish to play at home,
St. Mary's has a date with Cal
ifornia. That leaves Portland as
a possibility.
Speaking of the proposed
Northern - Southern division
baseball playoff next spring,
Cornell said that it appeared
unlikely that the southern
schools would agree to a Coast
Conference playoff in view of
the baseball setup In the south.
USC and UCLA play in a
league with Cal Tech, Occiden
tal and Pepnerdlne. California
and Stanford play in a north
ern division with St. Mary's,
Santa Clara and St. Mary's.
Cornell predicted that the only
possibility would be to arrange
an NCAA coast playoff, provld
ir; the Independent schools
were members ac tha NCAA
Chris Arnold I versen. with the increased DODuIaritv of
"T" formation football, might well be classed as one of the
"forgotten men" of the gridiron. But the abilitv of the 205-
pound, 26-year-old blocking back from Petaluma. Calif., did
not go unnoticed by his University of Oregon teammates dur
ing the current season. They accorded Duke's blocking and
auit-wavAiiig auiiitjr wiuruic Heaviest vine in lusiory ior
ne coveiea jtioiiman f oot Dan Award.
The ex-U. S. Marine sergeant was given the first-place
vote of every member of the squad and the only thing that
prevented a unanimous ballot was Duke's own vote... . . By
winning the honor as the most outstanding senior member
of the 1946 Oregon football squad Iversen was presented
with a handsome 21-jewel Bulova wrist watch by Vernon
Hoffman, local jeweler and a former University of Oregon
swimming team letterman. The gold watch, with a very good looking
face, Is suitably engraved.
Duke has had a colorful and lengthy football- career. He played
for four years at Petaluma High, from 1935 to 1938, and was all
conference fullback the final three years. He was also a four-year
baseball catcher and handled the football throw (which replaced the
javelin) for the track team. His best toss of 205 feet was only 12 feet
under the conference record set by Vic Botteri of Vallejo High, who
later starred at California,
MAIL-A-BUCK
, After graduating from high school, Ted Gebhart, a former star
Oregon back,, and the late Guy Kennedy, father of Oregon's Don
Kennedy and a Webfoot grldman about 1914, interested Duke in
Oregon. He arrived on the campus in the fall of 1939 and immediately
won the regular fullback berth on the Frosh team under John Warren.
In 1940, his first varsity season under Tex Oliver, Duke was under
study to Chet Haliski .... and, incidentally, Haliski, and Iversen are
rated the greatest blocking backs in recent Oregon football history.
In 1941 Duke was regular varsity blocking quarterback, but the next
year he entered the marines and for two seasons was a member of
the Jacksonville, Fla., Air Station eleven as quarterback. In 1943 he
was selected on the all-southeastern service all-star team.
In 1944 Duke coached and played with the small Kinston, N. C.
naval air base, playing five of a ten-game schedule before being
shipped overseas, virtually overnight. He also caught for the Columbia,
S. C. marine baseball team. He coached a football team on Okinawa
and was discharged from the marines in March of 1946. He returned
to Eugene late in the spring and took up football where he had left
off five years previously and was the most consistent performer.
Tex Oliver, Duke's coach who is in Los Angeles until after the
first of the year, wired his congratulations and said, "Duke has earned
and well deserves his honor. His teammates and the West team should
also be congratulated for their good judgement. There is no better
man in the league.", .
MAlXi-A-BUUK.
When Duke rjlavs with the West team in the annual Shrine East-
West classlo at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco New Year's Day, it
may not mark the finish of his gridiron career. ... We understand
several professional clubs are interested, but Duke hasn't made up his
mind whether to take a fling at the pro game or help his brother
run the Iversen poultry and sheep ranch near Petaluma.
The New York Giants, who use a single-wing formation, are in
terested in Duke because of his blocking ability .... and he figures
that's what Lon Stiner will use with the West team "or I don't see
hour t .niilri hffln 'em much." Duke says. He urobably hasn't carried
the ball more than a half dozen times for the Oregon varsity in his
three years of competition. ,. ..
Duke joined good company when chosen for the Fifth Hoffman
Football Award. . . . The first such honor went to "Bullet Bob smith,
a halfback in 1939. Dick Home, an end, took the honors in 1940,
followed by Halfback Curt Mecnam m imi ana "juara rioya
"Scrappy" Rhea in 1942. . . . There was no football here in 1943 and
1944, and there were no eligible seniors last year. "
Tk. ,Q cnm cnnfiieinn rf?arriin& the VOtinB this SCaSOn. Duke,
uvm,'. Harris. Tackle Chuck Elliott End Tony Crish and Half
back Bob Reynolds were the only seniors in eligibility. . . . But at
least two others, Fullback Bob Koch and Halfback Jake Leicht, expect
to graduate before another season eliminating them from further
competition. ... So, in the voting, Leicht second highest, Elliott and
Harris tied for third, followed by Koch, Reynolds, Crish, Jim New
quist, Dick Brown, and Brad Ecklund, in that order. . . .
Regardless of Duke's decision to run the ranch or play pro foot
ball, we expect to see him often. . . . Three years ago in Jacksonville
he married Elizabeth Ann Jessen, a Eugene girl. -
Vernon Annexes
Batting Title
CHICAGO, Dec. 14 W James
B "Mickey" Vernon, spidery first
baseman for the Washington Sena
tors, formally was named the 1946
American League batting cham
pion in official statistics released
at league -headquarters Saturday.
Vernon thumped a nifty .353,
which topped George Stirnweiss
comparatively anemic 1945 win
ning mark of .309 by 44 percentage
points and further demonstrated
that the wartime honeymoon defr
initely was over for junior circuit
pitchers.
Vernon finished 11 points ahead
of another eminent ex-serviceman,
Boston's tremendous Ted Wil
liams, who- batted .342 for the
runnerup spot and otherwise was
terrific with the bat.
A rousing late season comeback
gave Detroit's Hank Greenberg the
home run crbwn with 44, topping
by three his winning total in 1940
before he entered service.
Vernon, whose specialty was
spanking the ball down the base
lines, led in two-baggers with 51.
Galloping George Case of Cleve
land recaptured his stolen base
laurels with 28, dethroning Stirn
weiss who had 18 after leading
with 55 in 1945.
Bears, Giants Clash
For NFL Crown
NEW YORK, Dec. 14 OP) The
Chicago Bears -and the New York
Giants, professional football's two
"winningest" clubs down through
the years, collide in the Polo
Grounds Sunday in the National
League's World Series, and a lot
of folks will be surprised no end
if the Bears don't bring home the
pot of honey.
The greatest crowd and the
gaudiest gate in' the 14-year his
tory of this annual championship
playoff already were a cinch
when the box offices shut down
Saturday night and the sellout
sign was dusted off, as far as re
served seats were concerned.
As a result it was' just about
a money-back guarantee that
more than 55,000 customers would
chiD in to a $250,000 melon to sit
in on the moleskin mayhem.
Former Westerners in the op
posing lineups include Magnanl,
St. Marys, and Hugh Gallarneau,
Stanford, in the Chicago back
field, and Len Younce, (Oregon
State), at right guard for New
York.

his first victory over Fritzie Zivlc
In 1941, will fight Tommy Bell of
Youngstown, O., for. the vacant
147-pound title at Madison Square
Garden.
Robinson will be a heavy favor
