But the gray-haired Buc skip

Will Ohio State or California

Northwestern's Art Murakow

picks the Ohio State Buckeyes

The touring Vandals of Idaho
and Washington State broke
even with their respective foes
last night.
Idaho trailed Morningside for
14 minutes at Sioux City, then
run the tiring Maroons into the
floor in winning 66-49.
WSC's sophomores ran into
a senior defense at Kansas State
and dropped their third straight
decision by a one-sided 63-39
margin. The Cougars didn't get
a good close-in shot all evening
and had to rely on long set shots
over the close-knit Wildcat de
fense. Gene Conley, lanky cen
ter, led the scoring with 16
points but the ex-Richland prep
stcr made eight of them from
the foul line. The Cougars got
little solace from the knowledge
that their 7-5 lead early in the
game was the first time Kansas
State has trailed an opponent on
its home floor this year.

their share of the conversions

lies the reason for their defeat,
81 to 78.
It wasn't all foul shooting by
any means. Coach Johnny Lew

sufficient to win most contests,

why he thinks the spitball
should be legalized:
1. It would improve pitching
and baseball.
2. It would eliminate a lot of
wrangling and speed up games.
3. It would help second divi
sion clubs to take up the slack
and tighten the races.
Meyer conceded the return of

For Athletic Pay
Draws Comments
Kansas City, Dec. 23 VP) A
proposal that all colleges publi
cize their athletic payrolls
brought a varied response in the
Big Seven conference.
The suggestion was made by
Milton S. Eisenhower, president
of Kansas State college which is
a member of the Big Seven.
"Our alums are 100 percent
behind Eisenhower," said James
. Campbell, president of the
University of Missouri Alumni
association in Kansas City.
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson of
the University of Nebraska said
yesterday he could see no par
ticular reason for not publishing
athletic jobs lists and salaries,
but he added:
"It is difficult to get at sub
sidization which goes ont out
side university control, when al
umni and friends organize to see
that a boy gets to college, with
the idea that he will probably
play football. They do this with
out consulting me."
Several other athletic officials
in the Big Seven declined to
comment.

It was a wild finish as both
sides passed wildly and whirl

basketball science.
Willamette kept Stan Peter

In the meantime Jerry Scott

proceeded to dunk eight field

a high total of 24 points.
Doug Logue, although miss

the honors for Willamette

Willamette faced more deter

It will be his first test of the

Kell Officially
Named American
Loop Swat King
New York, Dec. 23 0J.fi)
George Kell of Detroit had four
breaks during the past season
the first two almost ruined him
but the last two made him the
American league batting cham
pion for 1949.
Kelt's first two breaks were
a broken bone in his right foot
and a broken left thumb, each
of which forced him to the side
lines. Those last two "breaks"
and the Tiger third baseman ad
mits they were just that were
two hits on the final day of the
campaign that earned him
.3429 batting mark and the lea
gue crown.
Official averages revealed to
day that Kell won the title over
Ted Williams of Boston by an
infinitesimal two ten-thous
andths of a point .It was the
closest batting race in American
league history.
Kell, first third baseman in
the circuit ever to capture the
title, played in 134 games, col
lecting 179 hits in 522 times at
bat. Playing in 155 games, Wil
liams pounded out 194 hits in
566 appearances at the plate.
Green and Scott poured in sev
en points in the next few mom
ents to give the Washington
quint a 71-67 lead.
Brouwer, Logue and Jack ;
Evans shoved Willamette back
into a 74-73 lead but Starr got
a basket and a free point
when he was fouled. Another
basket by Scott and a gifter
by Green put the Vikings in
to the lead 79-74. Willamette
managed to collect four points
in the dying moments but
time ran out before they could
square the account again.
The Willamette squad will
take time out for a bit of Christ
m a s holiday festivities before
resuming firing January 6
against Linfield at McMinnville,
the first Northwest conference
tilt.

Rumors Leahy to
Quit Notre Dame
Los Angeles. Dec. 23 (P) -
That old rumor about Frank
Leahy leaving Notre Dame so
the Fighting Irish can de-emphasize
football has cropped up
again.
Dick Hyland, Los Angeles
Times sports columnist, is the
the latest to resurrect it.
Hyland said his source is ' ab
solutely reliable and of top
drawer importance."
The columnist says the de-
emphasis stems from the fact
that Irish gridiron prowess ov
ershadows the school's scholastic
attainments.
He cites Notre Dame s science
and engineering schools
among the best and adds:
"Its chemistry and physics
professors are exchanged with
Caltech and MIT. Synthetic rub
ber was discovered at Notre
Dame; and its current germ-free
processes of experimental gene
tics has the scientific world as
interested as any Irish touch
down ever intrigued a subway
fan."

3 8-32 Win over Hillsboro
A switch in tactics at halftinie
from volleyball to basketball
paid off Thursday night for Sa
lem high's Vikings with a 38
32 victory over Hillsboro's
Spartan cagers.
Not one, but every member
of Coach Harold Hank's team
was so erratic during the first
half that literally dozens of field
goal attempts were missed.
During the first period, the
Vikings were able to collect
only four points, two on a
field goal by Doug Rogers and
the others on gift shots by Jim
Rock. The Hillnien, however,
collected a dozen.
At halftime, Salem was in the
hole by eight points with the
scoreboard reading 20 to 12.
Then the Vikings changed
thier assault. Their shots paid
off and their defense was
tightened by the addition of
Larry Chamberlain at guard.
Rock. Rogers and team cap
tain Daryl Girod collected a to
tal of 13 points in the third
quarter while the Spartans were
held to-four. The totals gave the

There will be no attempt on
