The "Big Four" of Notre

By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor
Game Aftermath
Too many married men, lack of leadership on the field and
Jealousies among the players, are a few of the reasons being
advanced for the lack of success of this year's University of
Oregon football squad. The season as a whole must have been
a big disappointment to Coach Jim Aiken, who, although he
didn't expect the Webfoots would duplicate their successes of
last season, had reason to believe that wins would be just as
numerous as defeats. . But there are plenty of persons at Cor
vallis who will swear that Oregon's showing last Saturday was
due to just too much Beaver. Nevertheless, the benching of
Johnnv McKay and Darrell Robinson, due to injuries, hurt the
Webfoots' cause. Both are expert pass snatchers and their ab
sence no doubt played an important part in the Webfoots' poor
aerial showing. Robinson played for a brief period but McKay
didn't get into the contest. Another McKay (Governor Doug)
got into the contest as a pre-game orator, but his remarks went
unheard as some 23,000 persons were bent on seeing a pigskin
battle. The guy who arranged the day's program should have
known better than put the chief executive on such a spot. The
fewer preliminaries, the better, on such an occasion.
Next Time Try the Train
After spending more than an hour in that bumper-to-bumper
parade between Eugene and Junction City and
viewing the antics of some drivers who should have been
arrested on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon,
we have considerable respect for the S.P. slogan, "Next
Time Try the Train." Three or four wrecks, a number of
near-misses and the appearance of a number of wrecking
cars certainly were not conducive to one's peace of mind.
We understand that the special train made the 70 miles
from Eugene to Salem in an hour and 20 minutes.
Defense and Offense All Stars?
This platoon system of football has a tendency to gunt up the
works in the selection of all star outfits. As one former grid-
der recently remaned, "it's getting to be a game of specialists.
Something on the 1 order of the medicine men one physician
knows all about internal medicine, another can cut your gizzard
out with neatness and dispatch, while a third will have abso
lutely nothing to do with an earache. While there are a few
players who go 5d or 55 minutes, the old "iron man" is a thing
of the past. The minute the ball changes hands four teams go
into action, two leaving the field and two hustling out to take
their places. So, it would seem that the pickers must come up
with two all star clubs one strictly noted for its offensive tac
tics and another for its ability to pile up the opposition . . .
What an opportunity the basketball coaches have by way of
confusing the scorekeepers by adopting the offensive and de
fensive styles of playl Makes one dizzy even to think of such
a thing.
Credit Where Credit Is Due
The name of Amos Alonzo Stagg has become synonymous
with expert football coaching and ability to develop charac
ter But, as is often the case of those who work In the back
ground, the name of Stella Robertson Stagg has seldom
been seen In print. She Is the woman whom Coach Stagg
married back in 1908 and who has been his constant com
panion ever since. - We are indebted to Bob Fenix, finan
cial vice president at Willamette university and a close
friend of the Staggs, for a clipping that recently appeared
in an eastern paper concerning the veteran coach who as
sisted a son during the season at Susquehanna university.
The article of a full column, reveals Mrs. Stagg's interest
In her husband's occupation.
Begins in 1908
Mrs. Stagg, now in her 74th year, got her initiation into the
grid game in 1908 when the official "charter" for the Chicago
Tribune accepted a post in the west. It was suggested that
Mr. Stagg take over the assignment until such time as a man

folded on the field. She became fascinated with the job and de
cided to continue on in her novel position. In those- days be
fore photography played much of a part in football, it was the
practice of newspapers to print charts of the game in lieu of
action shots. '
Never Misses Practice .
Her work brought Mrs. Stagg Into close contact with the
game and she rapidly became a vital part of her husband's
' work. She never misses a practice and with notebook in
hand jots down those things she sees on the field that she
feels may be useful to her husband and son. During Coach
Stagg's 14 years at the College of the Pacific, Mrs. Stagg
kept a running account of every single play made by Paclfio
as well as the opposing teams. On a few occasions she
has actually served as scout for her husband. Stagg has
always shunned publicity but his successes brought him
into the limelight, nevertheless. As for Mrs. Stagg, her
eomment when approached for a story has been, "You
want someone more colorful than I for a newspaper article."
and Army still dominate the
picture. They run 1-2-3-4
with California edging past
Oklahoma.
Ohio State, California's Rose
Bowl foe, won that right by
7-7 tie with Michigan. Thev
share the Big 10 title but Mich
igan can't go to Pasadena this
year according to the regula
tions. The win boosted Ohio into
fifth place in the poll.
Michigan is a strong sixth,
followed by Rice and Minnesota.
Next come Baylor and Tulane.
They ousted Southern Method
ist and Virginia from the top
10. Baylor moved up on a 35-
28 win over SMU and Tulane
bombed Virginia from the un
beaten ranks, 28-14.
Only three teams drew as
many as 1,000 votes, figured on
the basis of 10 for first, nine
lor second and so on. Notre
Dame maintained a comfortable
lead with 1,459 to 1,266 for Cal
ifornia and 1,173 for Oklahoma.
California. Ohio Slate Mli-hi-
'gan and Minnesota ended their
regular seasons last week. All
the others in the top 10 finish
this week except Notre Dame.
The Irish have a Dec. 3 date
at Southern Methodist.

Chicago, Nov. 22 (JP) The
football season's first bowl
game the Philosophy Bowl
will be played at the Univer
sity of Chicago today.
Since the school dropped
football 10 years ago, the
game on unused Stagg field
will be strictly a classroom
classic. Fifty of the beefiest
and strongest students in a
philosophy class will clash as
the Aristotelians vs. the Pla-tonians.

Newark, N. J., Nov. 22 UR
Joe Louis who says he Isn't
making a comeback but keeps
taking on new bouts, will step
into the ring again tonight
against young Joe Cheshul in
a 10-round no-decision fight.
For this second in a series
of six no-decision bouts, Louis
has trimmed his weight down
just a shade to 226 pounds
from the 229M he carried
against Joe Baksi in Boston
November 14.
Cheshul, a 24-year-old for
mer divinity student from Bay
one, N.J. doesn't figure to hurt
Louis much. He's a. clever
boxer, but punches delicately.
He has won 24 out of 27 fights
since be turned pro three
years ago, and his speed may
cause Louis to huff and puff
a bit.
Oheshul, at 187, will weigh
39 pounds less than the ex-champ.

It will be the Woodburn wal

Bears Called 'White Hope'
To End Coast Bowl Famine
The California football team
which started its season with
mediocre prospects sudd e n 1 y
loomed as the Pacific coast's
"white hope" today in its deter
mination to end its Rose Bowl
victory famine. '
For three years the western
teams have absorbed humiliating
lickings from the Big Ten in
vaders, but Cal vowed a differ
ent story for its Jan. 2 duel with
Ohio State. And, what's more
this spirited optimism was sup.
ported by the coast's football experts.-
University of Southern Cal
ifornia Coach Jeff Cravath
played both Ohio State and
California this season, tying
Ohio State 13-13 and losing to
Cal., 16-10. He said, "Cali
fornia will beat Ohio State,
but it is going to be a tough
job. The Bears will win be
cause of superior strength in
the backfield. I would say
the lines are about even."
Coach Lynn Waldorf said his
California scouts have seen Ohio
State in action three times this
season and that the Bears are
ready. Scout Harold Grant de
scribed Ohio State as "A good,
sound football team."
"Over all," he said, you could
describe them as having a rug
ged line with fine ends, fine
punting, good running and good
passing.
Also, they are a good second
half team. They appeared to me
to be SO percent stronger the
second half against Michigan
than they were in the first half
Just as California has been
most of its games this season."
