Serious Rose Business
Has Funny Side, Too
By BOB MYERS
Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 28 W)
This Rose Bowl football en
terprise is serious business, a
little on the severe side as
befits its age as the grand
father of all the bowl contests.
But don't think it hasn't had
Its funnier moments, some of
them behind the scenes, and if
things keep on as they have
in the past, the Rose Bowl
might even lose some of its
dignity.
There are times leading up to
the game, you see, when things
actually get pretty dull. The
players wander around their
hotel lobbies, exchanging
whispers about whatever
players whisper about, and
little excitement can be gen
erated about a routine block
ing drill on the practice field.
That's when the warning
signal should be hoisted, for
inevitably that's when some
playful pixie gets out of his
cage and begins to chew away
at the carpets.
There was the time a few
years ago , it may now be told,
when this wild pixie got loose
and before anyone could even
call the cops there was a
thick thud, a grapple in the
semi - darkness of a hallway
and one of the Huntington
hotel's nicest chairs was bro
ken when it was struck by a
head.
The head belonged to the of
ficial family of one of the

BASKETBALL SPEEDS UP
"Too much offense and too little defense" is the objection in
iome quarters to present day basketball. Whether the critics have
a reasonable basis for their criticism of the high scoring contests
or not, it is a fact that the tendency seems to be one of trying to
outscore the opposition. The trend, so far, has pleased many,
many more fans than those who would prefer a bit more defen
sive strategy. How far the game can go in this direction before the
general public grows weary only time will tell. Basketball was
originally intended to be a sport of skill, dexterity, quick reactions
and all of that. It still calls for the maximum in maneuverability
but, too often the tendency has been "oh, let him shoot; the quicker
we will get possession and have a chance at it ourselves."
RACE HORSE BRAND RULES
The galloping type of basketball isn't peculiar to the Pacific
Coast. A perusal of a pamphlet issued by Michigan State col
lege reveals the tendency back there toward high scoring.
And we presume the upward swing is universal. Some of the
scores turned out by Michigan State and their opponents 25
years ago sound almost ridiculous when compared with what
Is happening now. Notre Dame has been a consistent opponent .
of the Spartans since way back in 1908. Scores in the early
days of competition were 16 to 23, 10 to 26, 18 to 22, 14 to 13,
16 to 17 and so on. Same has held true in competition with
the University of Michigan where the records show one game
that resulted in a 27 to 5 win for the Wolverines. The next
season the two clubs engaged in a rip snorter 14 to 13 in
favor of the Spartans. Two clubs that couldn't score more
than 20 points each in these days of rush-and-shoot perform
.. ance would quickly find themselves all alone, except for a
pair of whistle tooters.
W ANJ A PICK A DUCK?
, Picking a duck is too frequently a disagreeable chore as the
average nimrod quickly finds out. So he usually dumps his kill
on the kitchen table and clears out for more congenial company

ver, Henry P. Davis, public relations director of the Remington
company, says the cleaning of a wild duck can be a fairly easy
affair. Here is the receipt: "Purchase 10 cents worth of powdered
resin for each duck to be cleaned. Pull back feathers with one
hand and with the other rub in rosm all the way to the skin
Then, holding the duck by the legs, dip it into a pot of near-
boiling water for about 10 seconds. Allow the bird to cool. The
feathers and down can then be easily ripped off right down to the
kin." Nothing is said as to whether the resin gives the duck a
peculiar flavor so we presume

ATTENDANCE INDICATOR
If attendance for the Oregon State-Minnesota tilt is an in
dication of what lies ahead for Gill pavilion then those folks
who want to see Coast conference games had better get their
' money on the line without delay. The Gopher contest drew
7368, according to Loris Baker, assistant to Spec Keene. If
that figure is correct, then a capacity crowd of 10,200 will
cause the sports palace to resemble a stout woman wearing a
girdle a couple sizes too small. The capacity of the bleacher
eats, which include those set aside for students is figured
on a basis of 18 inches per spectator. If need be that figure
can be shrunk considerably. But there can be no stretching
of the opera type chairs on the opposite slcfe of the court. The
first conference games at Corvallis will feature Washington
State college the nights of January 3 and 4. On January 13
the Webfoots will provide the opposition. That will end the
the competition in Gill pavilion until February 3 and 1 when
, the University of Washington Huskies show up.
a big percentage of his efforts.
Immonen, a rangy lad, proved
a good backboard man, who
did an excellent Job on defense
as well as on the other side of
the ledger.
Since the title will be decid
ed on a basis of differential in
points, Taft took the first night's
honors with a margin of IS.
The Canby-Silverton opener
got off to a slow first half period
with the Foxes leading 4 to 3.
It was 10-9 at the half and al
though Canby took a one point
margin early in the second half
Coach Milt Baum's Foxes forged
back in front 22-15 at the three
quarter mark with Jim Cooper
pacing the attack.
Woodburn led all the way
over Dallas after dominating
at the end of the first quar
ter, 8 to 4. Larry Cook ae-

the situation was grave and
very hilarious. Fraetured
chairs just don't belong in the
distinguished history of the
Rose Bowl.
Already this year, with Ohio
State and California plugging
away for the game Jan. 2, the
Rose Bowl scene has been
stirred by (1) a report that
Wes Fesler had quit as Buck
eye coach, and (2) the Buck
eye squad was torn asunder by
dissension.

81-54 Iowa
Setting a blistering pace from
the floor and foul line, Iowa's
Hawks romped to a one-sided
81-54 basketball victory last
night over touring Oregon.
While the Ducks were ab
sorbing the worst shellacking
handed a northern division club
this season, Washington State
college returned to its home
floor to snap a five-game losT
ing streak. The Cougars nipped
central Washington 57-47.

Sound a 61-56 defeat at Port
land, Seattle Pacific nosed out
British Columbia's Invading
Thunderbirds 51-48 and Pacific
Lutheran topped the traveling
Idaho State quintet 56-50.
Iowa accounted for more
than its 27-point victory mar
gin at the foul line, converting
33 of the 41 shots allowed on
Oregon violations. The halt
time count of 48-26 made a
dead duck of the Oregon cause
and the northwest quintet
failed to pick up in the sec
ond half against the Iowa re
serves. Urban was the lone
Oregon player to get into
double figures, pacing the
loser's scoring with 12 points.
Oregon arrived at the field
house only 10 minutes before
game time after traveling the
last 90 miles to Iowa City by
car when a minor wreck
stalled their train at Clinton,
Iowa. None of the players
was hurt.
At Pullman, Washington State
was hard put to beat out central
Washington despite the 10-point
margin. The halftime count

New Rose Bowl
Agreement May
Result from Meet
Olympia, Dec. 29 (JP) A new
Rose Bowl agreement may be in
the offing next month, the Pa
cific Coast conference president
said here yesterday.
H. P. (Dick) Everest, Univer
sity of Washington faculty rep
resentative and recently re-elected
conference president, said the
new pact will be discussed in
New York next month at the na
tional Collegiate Athletic asso
ciation meeting.
He said he thought the Big
Ten probably would hold out for
renewal of the present arrange
ment by which no one Big Ten
team comes to the Rose Bowl
oftener than every third year.
"In that case," Everest said,
"our conference will have to
decide whether it wants to
continue with the Big Ten, to
free lance or make other ar
rangements." ,
The present tieup with tha
Big Ten ends January, 1951.
There has been considerable op
position voiced to continuation
under the present policy which
could mean the Pacific Coast
conference champion would play
the second or third place team
in the Big Ten ranking.
Everest said the recommenda
tions coming out of the New
York conferences would have to
be passed upon by the confer
ence.
