Failure to Drop
Baseball Bonus
Affects 36 Men
Baltimore, Dec. 9 (IP) The
failure of the minor leagues to
wipe out the bonus rule affects
36 bonus players on major lea
gue rosters representing a total
outlay of some $800,000.
Added to this sizeable bundle
are 185 bonus-tagged minor lea
gue players to increase the to
tal expenditure to well above the
million mark. It is small ponder
then the "stuck" major league
club owners went all out to ditch
baseball's most controversial
law.
Leading the fight for repeal
was Bob Carpenter, president of
the Philadelphia Phils, who own
more bonus players than "any
other club. The staunchest sup
porters of the rule and therefore
Carpenter's most bitter rivals,
were Warren Giles, president of
the Cincinnati Reds; Fred Saigh,
owner of the St. Louis Cardinals
and Bill DeWitt, head of the St.
Louis Browns.

The coach pointed out the '
advantages of attending one of

well as athletic standpoint and
said that the young fellow who
wanted to compete rather than
spend much of his time on the
bench should consider the sit

Leahy Claims Team Spirit,
Coaching
By FRANK LEAHY
Head Football Coach
University of Notre Dame
Prior to the first game of the
1949 season we warned our
readers that this year's Notre
Dame team would be very likely
to lose a few games. Fortunately,
this prediction was incorrect,
and I should like to take this op
portunity to give the reasons
why I think our team finished
the season undefeated.
First of all, the spirit and
loyalty that prevailed on our
squad played the major part in
the successful season.
This loyalty was spread
throughout the ' entire team,
and even the men who were
working for the same position
were genuinely happy when
one of their competitors had
a good day.
In our backfield Larry Coutre
was the biggest booster Bill Bar
rett, ' his substitute, had. The
same can be said about Frank
Spaniel, Bill Gay, and Ernie
Zalejski, all of whom had a
turn at the left halfback spot.
Whenever praise was heaped on
Emil Sitko he would divert the
honors by saying that it was Bob
Williams fine play calling that
made him look good.
Our co-captains, Jim Martin
and Leon Hart were always
telling people of their team
mates greatness, rather than
their own.
All of these lads are such fine
young men that I took my
thirteen year old son Frankie
along on as many trips as pos

Vikings Open Cage Year;
Win over Tigers 36-27
By DAVID BLACKMER
Klamath Falls, Dec. 9 Sa
lem high school's Viking hoop
sters powered a 36-27 triumph
over an unprepared Tiger quint
from LaGrande Thursday night
in the first game of a pre-sea-
son jamboree on the maples at
Klamath union high.
Some 800 spectators turned
out to witness the start of the
20-30 club tournament which
continues through Saturday
night.
Salem jumped off to an
early lead in the game under
the sharpshooting bucket
work of Jim Rock, but the
third quarter was the high
light of the Viking assault.
Scoring in. that period was
centered around lanky Doug
Rogers, veteran SHS center, who
garnered eight counters. Don
McKenzie, a newcomer to the
Vik lineup, collected two, Cap
tain Daryl Girod five, and Deb
Davis two in that torrid heat.
In the second came Thursdav
night, a power-packed Tigard
team fell before the Kiamatn
Pelicans, 45-33, in a speedy con
test. Albany Trophies

outstanding player trophies at
the club's annual banquet honor
ing Bulldog gridmen at the high

Oregon State college Mentor
Kip Taylor was on hand to pass
out the two trophies, and to give
the featured talk of the evening.
Doerfler and Spreen, only local
players to make the Big Six first
team, were picked for the Lions
club honor by a three-man judg
ing staff from the service club.
"There is little fundamental
difference between the college
and the high school player,
Coach Taylor asserted. "Their
aims, hopes, ambitions and de
sires are the same, their desire
to get an education is virtually
the same, and their codes of
standards are virtually parallel

fine traits that are prevalent In
such high calibre young gentle-
nen.
Another important factor
contributing to its success was
the complete relaxation with
which our team was able to
carry out their assignments.
This can be attributed to
good physical condition which
is achieved only through hard
work and self-sacrifice.
During the entire 1949 season
our lads weren't forced to ex
tend themselves for sixty min
utes until the last game with
Southern Methodist. Looking
back on that game I am very
happy that SMU gave us such
a tussle because it proved to
everyone in America the things
that we learned each day dur
ing the fall; that is, that our
team was one of the finest.
As our offensive backfield
entered their game with the
score tied, the men were re
laxed and yet anxious. Emil
Sitko carried the ball on the
majority of plays in the scor
ing drive and yet he was the
first man back to the huddle
after each play.
It was definitely a game that
caused our team to display their
greatness, and what pleased me
most was the fact that following
the contest. Grover Walker,
SMU's outstanding linebacker
who played most of the game,
said that Notre Dame was one
of the cleanest teams he ever
played against. Things like that

The high-scoring work of
Rogers, who collected 12 points
Thursday night, indicated an al

typical style of assault.
In past years, the burden of
the scoring work has been un

Rogers' total was only one under
the combined efforts of four for
wards who saw action for the
Viks in the starting contest of
the 1949-50 season.

Conference in Defense
Some time, some place, Coach
Bill McArthur of Oregon State
College of Education had heard
that the institution to which he
is attached had lower standards
of eligibility.
So during Friday morning's
session of the Salem Breakfast
club he declared requirements
at OCE for athletic competition
were just as stiff as any college
oi university in the state.
As for competition in the
Northwest conference. Coach
McArthur said he could see
no reason for "bowing down"
and humbly asking for games.
He pointed out that OCE was
able to fill its schedule of
games with teams from Ore-
make me feel that the long hours
connected with coaching have
not been wasted.
No football team is ever
better than its assistant coach
es, and the fact that Notre
Dame has been undefeated in
four years is a direct reflec
tion on one of the best group
of assistant coaches in Amer
ica. Early in the season when it
became quite noticeable that
additional work was needed in
order to completely exploit the
potentialities of our squad mem
bers, it was decided to split the
staff into two groups.
Determining which group did
the best job would be impossible
because they both did much more
than even our fondest hopes
could visualize.
The defensive strategy as out
lined by Joe McArdle, Bill Ear-
ley, and Bob McBrlde proved to
be one of the best in Notre Dame
history, while our offense un
der Bernie Crimmins, John
Druze, and Walter Ziemba caus
ed our team to be dangerous
from any point on the field.
Without fear of contradic
tion from anyone, I should
like to state that the main rea
son why Notre Dame has been
fortunate enough to go through
four seasons without a loss
Is because all of the assistant
coaches and all of the players
have been willing to pay the
price for perfection. Such an
enviable situation certainly
makes the job of head coach
most enjoyable.

Grant Gridders
Cheated of Trip
By Pigott Rule
Portland, Dec. 9 lP) The
Oregon School Activities as
sociation will not allow the
Grant high school football
team to take in the East-West
Shrine game at San Francisco
as a reward for winning the
state championship.
The Grant Dads' club drop
ped a proposal to send the
team to the game when in
formed by Tom Pigott, secre
tary of the O.S.A.A., that the
trip would violate state rules.
The O.S.A.A. rules prohibit
athletes from being rewarded
with medals, trophies or dona
tions from any source outside
the O.S.A.A., Pigott said.
Grant recently won the
state title, defeating La
Grande in the finals, 24-0.
The Dads' club had obtain
ed 35 tickets at the December
31 Shrine game for the play
ers. The trip was called off,
however, after Pigott said the
players would lose their eligi
bility. Oregon, Friday, December 9,

ton without, difficulty.
McArthur stated that he was
responsible for the football pol
icy at OCE and that President
Henry Gunn could get another
coach at any time he disagreed
with this policy.
Of this year's undefeated
squad, Coach McArthur loses
eight key men. One of the
principal reasons for the suc
cess of the club was the fact
that three of the players had
been on the club four years
and three others three seasons.
One of the reasons for not!
accepting a bowl bid, McArthur
explained, was the fact that such
action would interfere with the
basketball season. A number
of football men also play bas
ketball.
Wild Life Man
Urges Oregon Get
Game Wardens
Portland, Dec. 9 (IP) Polic
ing powers for the state game
commission were urged here
yesterday by Ira N. Gabriedson,
president of the National Wild
Life Institute.
Oregon is the only state not
having game wardens, that uses
money from hunting and fishing
licenses for support of the state
police, he said.
Arguing for use of game ward
ens, he said, "a warden under
supervision of the game commis
sion knows the reason for every
game law and can explain it to
sportsmen. And he is engaged
in law enforcement all the year
around."
A former Oregonian, Gabriel-
son is here to advise the game
commission on a program for
next year.
