But a vote of th' 10 member schools gave the unde feated Bears the Rose Bowl bid, even though Oregon had seven conference victories and Cali fornia only six. The Oregon coach made it clear that actual bowl negotia tions remained with his athletic department and the Cotton bowl and officials of SMU which is assured of being the host t!am in the bowl. Asked when he would take his team to Texas if the bill is approved, Aiken replied: "If we get the bid and ares al lowed to play, I'd like to take the boys down 10 days ahead of time."

Sltits "fi Scratches BY FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor Gloomy Gil Is Critically III In Connecticut Hartford, Conn., Nov. 27 Gilmour Dobie, famous foot ball coach whose record for turning out undefeated teams never has been equalled, is crit ically ill in the Institute of Liv ing here. Known to generations of fens as "Gloomy Gil' because of his doleful, seldom-fulfilled predic tions of disaster for his teams, the 68-year-old Dobie has been a patient at the institute, a pri vate hospital for nervous disor ders, for the past three monttis. Dobie's last coaching assign ment was at Boston college from which he retired in 1938. He al most lost his life in an automo bile accidenf which followed a "victory dinner" for his first B. C. team in 1936. A car in whii;h he was riding crashed into a bridge, and Dobie suffered a brain concussion, a fractured jaw and deep lacerations. He turned out 11 undefeated teams in a row for North Dakota Agricultural college and the University of Washington before he came east in 1917 to coach at the Naval Academy. Dobie switched to Cornell in 1920 and remained there 16 years, turning out several undefeated teami;, before he went to Boston college. "How I could use a boy like that," sighed Johnny Lewis as he watched Frankie Page perform the other night with the Page Woolens. The Woolens, hoping for another state AAU title, were engaged in scrimmaging the Bearcats and as usual .Page came up with the ball whenever the big oval became a free agent for a moment. The Willamettes "outstaggered" the Woolens as Lewis described the finish, but the ball hawking and the shooting of Page was a feature of the evening's program . . . This year's Bear cat squad of casaba chasers cannot be classified as giants, but they do have moderate height. However, the greatest altitude occurs among the ranks of the freshmen such as Doug Logue the 6 foot 5 youngster from Astoria and Chuck Robinson, 18-year-old Gresh iiti boy who is four inches over six feet. The Willamettes include four seniors Bob Johnson, Bruce t K9TKPP inn nnn mum mruaras ana i nixi narrpn. Liie 11a . pound guard. Jim Johnson, who at 210 pounds Is the heaviest man is a junior as is Ted Johnson from Astoria. Other juniors are Al Fedge of Salem and Pete Bryant of Astoria. Reg Waters, 6 foot 1 forward, and a transfer from Central junior college is one of the three sophomores. The others are Dick Allison, Salem and Neil Richardson, Dallas. Freshmen listed are Jack Miller, Allan Bellinger and Hugh Bellinger all of Salem; Richard Brouwer, Portand; Ted Loder, Milwaukie; Chuck Robinson, Gresham; George Matile, West Linn; Claude Nordhill, Newberg and Lou Scrivens, Portland. Milwaukie would like to become affiliated with the Big Six league or some high school athletic group of equal importance, we learned from a resident of that community during a recent fanning bee. It seems Milwaukie high has grown tremendously in recent years and teams that were formerly in their class have been a bit hesitant about meeting them. As a result the Maroons Cjnn I l AItl have been hard pressed to fill out schedules that were well bal- ""'9' Up WITn anced. Perhaps Milwaukie would stick it out this time if given a berth in the Big Six or some similar circuit. But, too often high schools have been anxious to become associtcd with the so called big time loops when they are strong only to seek other company when the going gets tough. However, an institution with an enrollment of better than 1000 should be able tn take care of itself in most of the scholastic competition of the state. Emphasis on football has taken the play away from the golf .. courses In recent weeks but the club swingers may be expected to come to life shortly. The next event, the "Winter Slicker" tournament is expected to tee off before or about the middle of December, at the Salem course. This affair will run for eight or ten weeks with the contenders operating on a bans of two men to the team. At least one manufacturer of athletic equipment is convinced that the use of plastic football helmets leads to no moie injuries than those manufactured from leather or other substances. The matter was discussed at considerable length by the rulr". commit tee last spring and it was decided then to make definite recom mendations this winter. The annual reports of the football coaches committee on injuries show that the percentage of injuries is exceedingly small. Furthermore, of this small ratio of injuries, the greater number are to the knees and ankles. These accidents ie tiiincipaiiy causes, according io aaia, Dy me smiting ol the players in action.

This is indicated in Coach John Warren's announcement of a tentative lineup tor the game. The probable starters as listed by the Webfoot mentor includes Bob Amacher and Paul Sowers, forwards; Roger Wiley, center; Bob Lavey and Ken Seeborg, guards. Both Amacher and Wiley tow er 6 feet 8 inches and are well over the 200 pound mark in weight. Wiley, a pre-war cagci. saw service with the Webfoots in '43 and then came back to play in '47 and '48. Lavey and Amacher have had two years experience; Sowers and Seeborg one each. In the meantime Coach John Lewis continues to drill those candidates who remained in town through the Thanksgiv ing vacation.

OREGON Grants Pass. Medford, and again Grants Pass scored in rapid succession after the open ing kickoff last night. And that was the game. Medford, an al most perennial victor over Grants Pass and holder of an early season 7-6 defeat of the cavemen, threatened only once more. In the third quarter Med ford reached the cavemen's 10 yard line, but was held there. It was Medford that furnished the most dramatic play, how ever. Fullback Jack Morgan took a Grants Pass kickoff on his own goal line, and scampered the full length of the field to paydirt. Grants Pass opened the scor ing in the first minute and a half. Center Dick Warren block ed a kick, and the bali went out of bounds on Medford's 17.
