Whether Cnfego would be ready to rumble at top speed agflinst Sou thern California In the New Year's day classic at Pasadena remained a big question.

Before the 1940 campaign ts well under way, "Silent Charley" will be 37 years old and the subject of much speculation as to whether he'll be able to stick it out through his 15th full season, with the Bengals. It's a certainty the quiet, reserved infielder won't have much to say about It himself but his record will do a lot of talking in his favor. He suffered a badly pulled leg muscle last June In the all-star game at Cooperstown, N. Y., and some of the boys said he was on the way out. But young Benny McCoy, who was expected to take Charey's place, apparently Is headed for Philadelphia. New York's great youngster, Joe Gordon, took the play from Gehr inger last summer, but Charley did not do badly. He appeared In 118 game, hit .335 and his 132 hits In cluded 16 homers, six triples and 29 doubles. Possessor of one of the keenest pair of eyes In the sport, he drew 68 walks and fanned only 18 times. He also was the best fielding second baseman in the circuit.

Strong Dallas Club fo Meet Salem Vikings Usually the "crucial" basketball games come at the end or near the end of the season. But this year the preppers are working on a different plan. As, a consequence what may develop into the hottest contest of the sea&un is slated for 8 o'clock to night on the high school gym floor. The principals Salem and Dallas. Although the season has yet to grow whiskers, and it's too 6oon to be making predictions, it would sur prise nobody if Salem and Dallas both make their way to the state tournament next March. To date, Dallas has beaten Willamette uni versity freshmen twice, while Sa lem has downed the yearlings once and beaten Silverton. Dallas made an excellent showing in the WVI league Jamboree, as did the Vikings in the No Name league Jam session. It's been a good many years since Dallas has been able to give Salem much of a battle on the basketball floor, but all indications point to a real scuffle tonight. The Dragons, directed by Dwight Adams last year and by Coach Hagan this season, are experienced veterans who know what the game is about. Their starting line-up of Dornhecker, Low, Jackson, Kliever and Peters has played together for three seasons. Against this combination Coach Harold Hauk will send a group of scrappy kids who will be noted for their ball hawking proclivities, and one, Virgil Sebern, who was rated as an all state forward Jast March. A preliminary is booked for 6:45 tonight. Friday evening Salem will meet Marshfield at 8 o'clock.

LEONS (SPORTS BAR Holbrook College End Real Man of Iron By Frits Howell Columbus, 0 Dec. 21 (&) Before wrapping up the 1939 football season . . . now how about a belated pat on the back for Chester (Red) Roush, a real iron man of the gridiron? "Red," end and captain of little Al- fred Holbrook colletie at Manchest - O., played every minute of 34 games from 1936 through 1939. Roush had never played football and had seen but one game before enrolling at Holbrook.

And you can bet a nice wad of Uncle Sam's folding money that the Tennessee Vol unteer management cut their traveling squad to 35 because there was a perfectly good foundation for so doing. A lot of criticism has been heaped upon the powers that be back In Tennessee because they didn't bundle up every man who ever wore a helmet and trans port him out to Pasadena. If those extra 15 or 18 men would have been any value to Coach Bob Neyland against the Tro jans next New Year's day, you may be assured they would have been tucked away In the sleep em when the Vols hit the rails for the west coast. With few exceptions college ath-j letlc funds are not built around the King Midas legend, although some are quite prosperous and are able to give their football heroes the finest passible line of equipment, tiled shower rooms and the best in hotel accommodations. Tennessee may have a checking account which Is large enough to put a big dent in Uncle Sam's buried treasure, for all we know. But the chances are the Vols have to make their dollars go Just as far as the fellow who doesn't have blueprints of where he is going to get his "coffee and" next week. That hundred thousand bucks which will be poured into the coffers of the Tennesseeans may be the much needed cash to lift the mortgage off the homestead. The nuisance angle, too, enters into the decision to cut the Vol squad to 35.

Probably they are touring Just for the fun of It, but Snavely said at Canton: 'The finest high school foot ball in the country Is played up here in northeastern Ohio. And if you cau turn out one athlete In 10 years as good as Don Scott (Ohio State quarterback from Canton) and sen ' him up to our university, I'll continue to think this Is a great community," Today's Guest Star Elmer Layden, addressing Tole do's downtown coaches' association, said: "It's a pleasure to be here, for I like to string along with a winner. . . . All downtown coaches are win ners, for they piay their games on Monday, two days after they've been completed on the field. In fact, I've never heard of a downtown coach losing a game." Sfagg's Club Beaten, 18-7 Honolulu, Dec. 21 (U.R) The Hea lani town team of Honolulu defeat ed Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's Col lege of Pacific touring squad last night, 18 to 7. Healani gained a 12-pound advan tage in the first period that the California team was unable to match. The Hawallans' third touch down was made in the third quar ter. The Bengals' only score came In the second quarter. The brilliant ball carrying' of Jud Atchison, former Texas university star, gave the Healanls victory over the College of Pacific football team before 8000 persons here last night. Atchison personally scored two touchdowns for the town team and passed to Morse for the third. Bill Thomas, Tiger halfback, was i moved in the first quarter with leg injury, which handicapped Pa cifies offensive. as well toss a few words Into the Kenneth Washington controversy, Those in charge of nominating the players who will make the East and West teams for the Shrine football game in Kezar stadium, San Fran Cisco, January 1, explained they had selected the best team possible "aft er considering all contributing cir cumstances." No mention was made of the great negro backfield ace of UCLA. The coaches had a reason and no doubt it was a colored one. Those In charge of intercollegiate i-ports would do well to recall the valuable contributions to athletics the negro race has made. This is especially true in the Olympic games where such men as Jesse Owens have been outstanding. That Washington Is one of the best backfield men on the coast is agreed v (m by all who have seen him per form. If the West team is to be made up of the outstanding per formers of the district west of the M 1 ssi ss 1 ppl , then why over! ook Washington? As the Coos Bay Times points out "inasmuch as the proceeds go to the Shrine hospital, where no color line is drawn, it ap pears to us that the spirit of foot' ball, and the democracy that rules the sports, is being severely violated by (hp west cost's committee." - H - ? - k k Negro Boxer Due to Clash With Austin Fights Tonight Eight Rounds Kenny Austin vs. Leo Turner Big Barlund vs. Jack Hlbbard Bud Peterson vs. AI Gay nor.

His Bucks will be at full strength Thursday for the first time since the season opened, with waiter McCartney back at wing, and Red Conn, all-coast guard, completely recovered from a leg injury. Louie Holmes, center, who last year was chosen the most valu able man in the league, has been nursing a side injury incurred in pre-season practice, but Louie seems to have completely recuperated from his hurts and now is able to hold up his share of the work.
