Large Turnout Greets
Dallas Basket Mentor
Dallas One of the largest
turnouts of recent years greet
ed Coach Gordon Kunke of Dal
las high school last week when
he sounded first calls for bas
ketball practice.
' After a few days the squad
was cut to 40, including the B
squad of Coach Ken Jacobson.
Four lettermen are back as a
nucleus for this year's squad,
and transfers and others up from
the B squad will add strength to
the first team contingent.
Wes Ediger, 6-foot, 1-inch

has a starting berth nailed down.
Other lettermen are Ray Olson,
captain of the football team and
all-conference tackle for 1949;
Jake Janzen, and Larry Cook.
Olson plays center, Cook is a
guard and Janzen a forward.
Transfers putting in a bid for
starting spots include Ron Grif
fin who hails from Albany and
was left halfback on. the foot
ball team. Although a diminu
tive 5 ft. 8 inches, Griffin is
speedy and is seeking a guard
position.
George Clark hails from Taft
high school where he played B
team ball and Herschel Sjolund
came from Olympia, Washing
ton, just in time to turn out for
practice. Sjolund, a sophomore,
played on the Olympia B team

New Rule Enables 0SC
To Win Pilot Opener
Portland, Dec. 2VP) Oregon
State spurted in the closing min
utes here last night to down the
University of Portland, 51-46,
before the largest basketball
crowd ever assembled in Port
land. The game, opening the bas
ketball season here, was wit
nessed by 4500 fans in the Port
land ice arena. A portable floor
was moved in atop the ice to
make the contest possible.
Oregon State led through
most of the fray, but five min
utes from the end saw Port
land climb to a 46-41 lead.
' Then Oregon State rallied, led
by guard Bob Payne.
The Staters got head, 47-46,
then coasted. The new rule, ap
plying in the final two minutes,
that gives a fouled team a free
throw plus possession of the ball
enabled the Staters to pull away.

By FRANK LEAHY
Head Football Coach
University of Notre Dame
Tomorrow brings to a close
the regularly scheduled games
for 1949. It has been a wonder
ful, although perhaps the most
unpredictable, year for fans and
players alike.
Interesting to note was that the
three major offensive systems
discussed at the start of the sea
son were employed by the teams
which ended up 1-2-3 in the As
sociated Press poll. That is, the
Single Wing, the Spit "T" and
the conventional "T" all remain
ed popular as California, Okla
homa and Notre Dame each
utilized a different form of at
tack.
Closing out the current cam
paign will be four games, the
one we are primarily interest
ed in taking place in Dallas,
Texas. Our game with South
ern Methodist is definitely the
big game of the year for
Notre Dame.
Of the thirty-six men we are
taking to Dallas, 20 of them will
be wearing a Notre Dame uni
form for the last time. It is al
ways with a great regret that we
think about our seniors leaving
us, as coaching the same young
men for four years causes me to
become closely attached to them,
and to think that I will see very
little of them for the rest of their
lives makes me realize no
more than ever, what a priv
ilege it has been to work with
these lads.
The seniors who will play
for Notre Dame tomorrow
have been on our squad for
four years and have never
known defeat. Very definitely

the law of averages is against
us, and we are opposing a
team coached by one of the
finest men in the business.
I know that Matty Bell will
have his Mustangs up for this
one, and my sincere hope is
that our players have enough
determination to play just sixty
more minutes of the football
they are capable of.
While on the subject of sen
iors playing their last game Sat
urday, we should like to stress
point about lads of foreign
parentage who have represen
ted Notre Dame on the football
field for many seasons. Many
people poke fun at Notre Dame
becauase of some of the un-
prounceable names that have
appeared in her lineups down
through the years.
However, we are extremely
proud of these boys, and we
feel that they are to be highly
congratulated for the many
sacrifices they have made to
achieve a college education.
Several of these lads come
from homes where English is not
even spoken, and when they ar
rived in college they found it
was necessary for them to work
much harder than other boys
in order to grasp the subjects.
Yet down through the years we
have had very few boys of for
eign descent flunk out of school.
Many of these lads get up
early in the morning and
spend all of their spare time
with the books in order that
they may become well-educated
American citizens by the
time they leave school.
In our opinion, these young
men are to be greatly admired.
I shall always be happy to have
the boys with the long names on
any football team with which I
am affiliated, because in many
cases the long name is synony
mous with long hours of hard
work and sacrifice, and for these
two attributes there is no sub
stitute. In the other games of the
day two of the upset teams of
last week-end take on tradi
tional rivals. South Carolina,
fresh from a victory over
Wake Forest, opposes the Cita
del, while Auburn, wthich tied
a strong Clemson team, will
meet the Crimson Tide from
Birmingham.
Our opinion is that South
Carolina's victory over Citadel.
However, things don't look that
promising for Auburn, as "Red"
Drew has brought Alabama a
long way this season and we ex
pect them to subdue Travis Tid
well and company. The day's
final game should see Arizona
State at Tempe avenging last
year's defeat by Utah State.

One of the larger crowds of
the season (predominently Ore

day morning for a showing of
the Oregon State-Oregon foot
ball pictures during the weekly

"Bump" Elliott, assistant to
Coach Kip Taylor of Oregon

the pictures in the nature of
explanatory remarks. At one
time when "Cub" Houck of Sa

remarked that Houck would
prove to be an excellent per
former during his junior- and
senior years at OSC.
Coach Johnny Lewis of Wil

before the end of the season but
did not know how they would
