BEND BUMMN SPORTS GENERAL NEWS CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER THE 33rd Year LaBrucherie Resigns as UCLA Football Coach Los Angeles, Dec. 14 iU'i Three weeks ago UCLA students carried football Coach Bert LaBrucherie on their shoulders and cheered him. Today UCLA was seeking a new coacn. LaBrucherie and his entire staff resigned last night and the UCLA board of athletic control accepted the resignation "with apprecia tion for the services they nave." The resignations climaxed the most hectic season in the" vounc history of UCLA. At the start of the football year the Bruins came through with one smashing vie- lory ami men ran out 01 gas, oeat 8 ing only two other weak teams w on their 10-eame" schedule. The word of LaBrucherie's res ignation hardly had become pub lic before talk returned to Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns as a possible successor. Brown earlier in the year had been men tioned for the job but at that time UCLA firmly denied it was con sidering a change. Assistants Also ((nil Whoever replaces LnBrucherie also will be in a position to pick his own assistants immediately. In addition' to the head coach, the athletic control board received and accepted the resignations of assistant coaches W. P. (Dutch) Fehring, Shelby Calhoun and Ned Mathews. There had been no hint as UCLA ended Its football season that the Bruins were considering a replacement for LaBrucherie. The student body was not after his scalp. In its "big" game with cross town rival Southern California, the Bruins lost by a single touch down, 20 to 13, and the showing of tne ucx,A players was their best of the season. It was after the UCLA-SC game that the students carried LaBrucherie out of the dressing room to an impromptu rally. '- But LaBrucherie commented af ter his resignation was accepted: "I saw the handwriting on the wall. That's all there was to it." Future at Stake Chicago, Dec. 14 Hi'i Leo Dur ocher's future in baseball was at stake today in a hearing in which Commissioner A. B. 'Chandler must decide whether the New York Giant manager is guilty of violating the major league tamp ering rule. There were indications from Chandler that Durocher might es cape serious punishment, al though there is nothing to keep the commissioner from throwing the tempestuous pilot out of base ball for life if ho thinks his ac tions were detrimental to the sport. Durocher said he would enter a flat plea of "not guilty" to charges that he approached Fred die Fitzsimmons about a coaching job while Fitzsimmons still was under contract to the Boston Braves. Durocher, Fitzsimmons and Ed gar Feeloy, treasurer of the Gi- MiDDYs' Baseball r ' t ants, were scheduled to meet with Chandler at 11 a. m. (CST1. However, regardless of what de cision Chandler makes in the Du rocher case, it will not be an nounced at this lime. He will stu dy the evidence presented and make known his findings later from, his headquarters in Cincin nati.

Game Commission Continues Improvement at Summer Lake Approximately 2,500 acres of alkali flats are being turned Into marsh at the Sumner lake water fowl management area as a re sult of an extensive water con trol project constructed this past summer, according to informa tion from state game commission headquarters in Portland. Water is being diverted from Ana river into canals leading to the new ar tificial lake which will form an other nesting area as 'soon as aquatic food plants have a chance to grow. Control is provided over water in existing marshes also, thus increasing the nesting habi tat and supply of aquatic vegeta tion. Cost of the project was about $69,000, of which three-fourths was paid by the federal govern ment under the federal aid to wildlife restoration act. Previously the total area of 13, 650 acres at Summer lake was di vided into 1,000 acres of open lake, 2,000 acres of meadows in terspersed with ponds, 600 acres new! more the the of Tonight at new NEW ALSO And, You'll Agree, the 1949 See it NOW at Hand Motor Co.
