Wolfe Takes 10- iounder
From Nunes in HeodSiner
There wasn't a single knock
out on the entire card, but sev
e r a 1 hundred followers of the
game of fisticuffing saw the best
boxing program at the armory
Tuesday night that the Veterans
of Foreign Wars have staged in
many months.
Lou Nunes, the squat gladi
ator with the clipped hair from
southern California, whose an
tics indicated he has been intro
duced to professional wrestling,
lost the 10 round main event to
Dick Wolfe.
Wolfe, content to let his
opponent wear himself down
by his bull-like rushes across
the arena, absorbed the left
haymakers to the body with
out difficulty during the ear
ly rounds. One of these melees
opened a slight cut over the
Indian's right eye and started
e trickle of blood from his
nose. That was in the third.
Then, in the fourth both went
tumbling through the ropes onto

HE MAY BE RIGHT
Coaches are notoriously pessimistic individuals and their dole
ful predictions customarily fall' on unsympathetic fans. So when
Slats Gill, Oregon State's top man in the basketball world, moans
on an off the record basis that he can't see another northern divi
sion championship this season, few are inclined to take him seri
ously. Nevertheless, perhaps Slats knows whereof he is talking
and time may bear him out. He's an expert basketball diagnosti
cian and should be able to predict just the. amount of progress a
given individual will make toward perfection. But unforeseen
elements always enter into the picture, tending to either break or
make a ball club. Slats considers the chief obstacle in the road to
another championship lack of height among his available candi
dates. He makes a pretty good case foi himself too as he con
trasts his men against those of the opposition. However, in Ed
Fleming and Bob Edwards, he has a pair of 8 foot, 6 inchers.
Edwards, Corvallis high graduate
the state title to the Spartan institution, proved somewhat dis
appointing in his freshman year and there is the possibility he
may be held out of competition for another season. Considerable
disappointment has developed in local circles over the inability
of Oregon State and Willamette to get together on their custom
ary series of home and home cage games. The University of Ore
gon, too, is shying away from a clash with the Bearcats. Could
it be that the Webfoot directors see the possibility of a third suc
cessive defeat at the hands of Coach Johnny Lewis' squad?
HONOR BASKETBALL
. It hasn't been adopted as a league program, but directors
of the Salem. Church Basketball league plan to experiment
bit with officialless games. The initial experiment Is due for
the night of December 10 at the YMCA with members of the
' First Christian and First Presbyterian teams taking the role
of guinea pigs. Fred Cords, physical director at the "Y" who
is familiar with "honor basketball", having contacted it in
Kalamazoo, Mich., explains its operations. The players are
responsible for calling fouls which they personally make.
They do not call them on any of their own team mates or on
the opposition. ; ; . J
SUPERVISOR RULES
A person who is designated as. "supervisor", either takes his
place alongside the scorekeeper or timer, or occupies a position
above the playing floor. The supervisor keeps a record of the
fouls each player calls as well as those the supervisor believes
should have been called. On jump balls, at the start of the game
or the subsequent quarters or following a held ball, the supervisor
designates one of the substitutes, usually the nearest one to the
(pot, to toss up the ball.
TROPHIES AWARDED
In league play where the honor system is used exclusively,
the top trophy is awarded the team that has called the greater
number of fouls. Smaller trophies go to the individual players
who are high in this department. Lesser trophies go til the
league winner and the runner up. Cords believes the system
has great possibilities in the development of true sportsman
- ship and in the operation of basketball by and for the players.
He poi- 's out that handball and volley ball are played with
out a 'ecting official and sees no reason why basketball
shouldn't be operated in a similar manner.
the floor as the result of Nunes'
jet propulsion activities. Neith
er was slowed up by the occur
rence. Wolfe took the decision large
ly because of his cleaner blows
many of which anticipated
Nunes' rushes.
Brave Junior, a redskin
from northern California, who
was first introduced to Salem
fistic fans at the time "Monty"
Montgomery was locally pro
minent, decisioned Larry Rea
gan in six rounds.
Reagan kept pace with his In
dian opponent during three
rounds but the pace was loo fast
for the Hermiston scrapper.
Reagan tired badly in the fifth
and sixth and was virtually out
on his feet at the final bell.
Another bout where neither
was a bit reluctant to mix mat
ters was the Davey Ball-Al Cliff
four rounder. Ball took the nod
from Referee Packey McFarland
even though Cliff displayed vast
who was prominent in bringing
improvement over his previous
appearances here.
Joey Ortega won a. Tour
round decision over Tony Dac
ci in a substitute bout for the
heavyweights who were ori
ginally booked for the spot.
The Bobby Carr-Freddie Bur-
rage four round curtain raiser
was called a draw.

New York, Dec. 1 (IPi The
nation's top four football jug
gernauts Notre Dame, Okla
homa, California and Army
appropriately enough gained six
places on the 25th Associated
Press All-America team.
Notre Dame, the No. 1 team
by the widest of margins, dom
inates the 1949 team with three
men. They are the Irish co-captains,
End Leon Hart and Tackle
Jim Martin, and their rugged
bull-necked fullback, E m i 1
Sitko.
Oklahoma's representative is
Wade Walker, a 203-pound
tackle from Gastonia. N.C. Cali
fornia's Bears, the Rose Bowl
hosts, have Rod Franz at guard
for the second straight year and
Army made the mythical array
with its brilliant all-around ath
lete, Qaurterback Arnold Gal
iffa. Two repeaters in the back
ficld are the prize triple threat
men from the southwest and
south, Doak Walker of South
ern Methodist and Charlie
(Choo Choo) Justice of North
Carolina, respectively. This
is the third straight All-America
for Walker and the second
for Justice.
The other three places went to
Clayton Tonnemaker, Minne
sota's 245-pound center; Guard
John (Bull) Schweder of Penn
sylvania and End Jim (Froggy)
Williams of Rice.
With Notre Dame gaining
three places the team strength
lies in the midwest, the others
from that section being Tonne
maker of Minnesota and Walker
of Oklahoma. The east and
southwest each placed two play
ers on the first team with the
south and west coast getting one
spot apiece.
All Men Are Seniors
It marks the first time since
prewar football that the entire
team is made up of seniors
which is significant in that fu
ture All-Americans, barring un
foreseen conflicts, will include
down to earth collegians instead
of players who have performed
all over the gridiron map with
Armv and Navy service teams
before concluding their collegi
ate careers.
The 1949 team, chosen after
recommendations by more
than 250 sports editors, AP
staff writers, college coaches
and radio broadcasters, is a
truly veteran groun. The team
age is 22.8 years and the
weight average-199.4 pounds.
The youngest player chosen is
Leon Hart, also the heaviest. Yet
the 21-year-old 248-pound giant
he's six-four from Turtle
Creek, Pa., is the one unanimous
selection in that not one dissen
ter could be found.
Linemen Were Versatile
In this day of the two platoon
system and high scoring games,
Hart was a stickout on a great
Irish team. Like the other line
men on the team he played both
on offense and defense. Besides
being a brilliant tackier and
blocker, he was used as a ground
gainer on end around plays and
turned in many sensational
catches of passes
An example of Hart's value
as a team man was best shown in
the Irish battle here against
North Carolina. He caught one
of Bob William's passes and
though he was tackled, went an
additional 10 yards and then
tossed a lateral to Bill Barrett
for a touchdown that broke
6-6 tie and helped turn the game
into a rout.
"As our co-captain with
Jim Martin, Leon has pro
vided wonderful leadership
for the Notre Dame team this
her of the squad at 6 feet 5.
Loder Is 6 feet 3.
Against this aggregation CP,
S. will floor an experienced
squad of two 6 feet 4 forwards,
a 6 feet 7 center and two ex
tremely fast guards. All are
either seniors or juniors. The
forwards are Brown and Rinker;
center, Gibbs, a transfer from
the University of Washington;
guards, Stevens and Angeline.
The Bearcats in recent scrim
mages with Page's have done
reasonably well.
Chico State will engage the
Bearcats here the nights of Dec.
9 and 10.
