Prineville at the Central-Oregon basketball jamboree last night. Defending is Robin Gerke,

The Bend Bulletin, Wednesday, Dec. 2, 1959
Sports Talk.
Football polls and all-star teams
are here to stay whether you
like 'em or not. But there's usual
ly plenty of things to find fault
with in both polls and all-star
squads.
Nolan Skiff; sports editor of the 1
Pendleton East Oregonian, for in- j
stance, can't understand why j
. Chuck Kearney, a competent two-1
way lineman for the Bucks, was j
overlooked in the recent Inter-
mountain League football all-star
squad.
Nolan also wonders why Jerry
Blevins, Pendleton halfback, was
given a second-team position.
"Blevins was probably the best
ball carrier in the circuit this
season," Skiff writes.
"It's quite possible that the fact
that both boys are juniors had
something to do with it, but most
fans still think a boy should be
picked strictly on his merits, re
gardless of whether it'll be 'his
turn next year' or not.
"There may be some squawks
from other schools also. No such
team can be perfect, but it
would seem a little wiser to add a
few honorable mentions just to
take the sting away a little from
some superior player who doesn't
even crack the second eleven."
As a team. I thought the Inter
mountain All-Star selections this
year were fair choices without
the politics that sometimes goes
into such selections.
Certainly, having the coaches
select the teams is the fairest
possible way fairer than a com
mittee of sportswriters and sports
casters, say.
But that doesn't mean I don't
have a gripe or two.
Like Nolan. I think they could
have had some honorable men
tions, or possibly a third team.

And, like Nolan, I think, there
was an injustice done.
Only my gripe is that they left
Prineville's Frank Matthews off I
the first team and gave the full-1
back slot to Pendleton's Ned Cron- j
n.
This is not to take anything
away from Cronin, who did a fine
job. But if Matthews would have
had that Pendleton blocking in
front of him, he could have set
all kinds of records.
As it was, even without aver
age blocking, Matthews was the
outstanding , offense (and defen
sive) player in every game I saw
him play.
Nolan thinks Blevins was the
best ball carrier in the circuit. I
think Matthews was the best ball
player. Period.
Cronin, a 6-2, 195-pound trans
fer from Loyala High in Los An
geles, will undoubtedly be heard
from in basketball.
H seems that Pendleton is al
ways getting some big transfer.
Cronin came via a tragedy.
Years ago there was a fellow
named Ned Cronin that grew up
in Pendleton. After high school
Ned left the small wheat center
and headed for the big city of
Los Angeles.
In time he became a famous
sports columnist for the Los An
geles Times one of the funniest
writers, sports or otherwise, that
ever pounded a typewriter.
His column, "Cronin's Corner."
made each day a little lighter.
Some columns were funnier than '
others, but every one had some
chuckles to brighten life.
Last year Ned Cronin died. His
death was mourned by the host of
friends he had made celebrities '
and average Joes alike. I

There's another transfer on the
Pendleton hoop squad that's no
stranger to Bend.
He's Dwain Suiste, a member
of Pilot Rock's B basketball
champions who cavorted here last
March.
Suiste, now a senior, started for
Pilot Rock in the first game
against Corbett and scored 13
points. In the semi-finals he had
four points, fouling out in the sec
ond half.
He managed only two points
against Mapleton in the finals.

How did he happen to wind up
in Pendleton?
Seems that Dwain got married
and the Pilot Rock school board
said nix on any more athletics.
So Dwain switched to nearby
Pendleton.
It's just possible that the coin-
cidence of a tragedy and a mar-
riage could make the difference
for the Pendleton hoop squad this
year. '

NEW VOIiK (UPI) - The Mid-
west dominates the 1959 United
Press International All-America
football team announced today al-
though Billy Cannon ran away
with individual honors.
Louisiana State's star halfback
received a total of 3.048 points in
the nation-wide balloting by 339
sports writers and broadcasters,
the largest number ever to vote
for a LPI All-America team. Can
non's showing was the second
strongest in the history of the
voting, being exceeded only by
the 3,369 points which Leon Hart,
Notre Dame end, received in 1949.
Selected with Cannon as the
finest collegiate players in the
land were:
Ends Monty Stickles, Notre
Dame and Bill Carpenter, Army,
Tackles Dan Lanphear, Wis
consin and Don Floyd, Texas
Christian.
Guards Roger Davis. Syra
cuse and Bill Burrell, Illinois.
Center Max Baughan, Geor
gia Tech. '
Quarterback Richie Lucas,
Penn State.
Halfbacks Cannon and Ron
Burton, Northwestern.
Fullback Charles Flowers,
Mississippi.
Midwest Gets Four Berths
Stickles, Lanphear, Burrell and
Burton gave the Midwest four
berths on the mythical eleven.
There were three players each
from the South and Eas and one
from the Southwest. Baughan and
Flowers, in addition to Cannon
are trom the South while Davis,
Carpenter and Lucas are from the
East and Floyd from the South
west. Geographically, that left the
Far West, Rocky Mountain and
Midlands areas witnout represen
tation on the dream team.
Cannon is the only repeater
from UPI's 1958 All-America
team. He was one of two juniors
on that team, the other being Bob
White of Ohio State. White was
injured most of the past season
and received only 201 points,
which put him well down on the
honorable mention list.
All of the 1959 Ail-Americans
are seniors and all except Carpen
ter, the lonely end who must stay
in military service, are expected
to be the most sought after play
ers by the professional football
leagues.
Fast And Heavy Line
The linemen are all fast and
heavy. The line averages 219
pounds. Davis is the heaviest 228
pounds; Burrell and Carpenter the
lightest at 210. The backfield aver
ages 194 pounds, with Cannon tho
bulkiest at 208.
There was only one close con
test for a first team berth. That
was for the center spot where
