Upset-Minded Wildcats

The Linfield Wildcats, while
definitely out of the North

picture, will be gunning for
Willamette's Bearcats at Mc
Minnville Friday night.
Linfield's upset decision over
Pacific last week, a circum
stance that was of material
assistance to Coach Johnny
Lewis' quint, indicates the
Wildcats are a force to be
reckoned with and the fur is
expected to fly in this, the
third encounter of the 'season

Cardinals Turned Back
By Columbia Deep Freeze
The Sacred Heart Cardinals
lost to Columbia Prep in
Portland Thursday night, 44
to 31, and in so doing ran into
an unusual situation.
Columbia Prep, after scoring
a 22 to 17 lead in the first half,
started a stalling game midway
of the third period and during
the fourth quarter took but two
shots. At times they merely held
the- bail and made no effort to
cats at McMinnville early in
January, 58 to SO and then
repeated the performance on
the local floor the next night
55 to 40.
After experimenting to a
considerable extent against
Oregon College of Education
last Tuesday night, Coach
Lewis is expected to start his
so-called regulars against the
Wildcats: Ted Loder, Dick
Brouwer, Doug Logue, Hugh
Bellinger and Lou Scrivens.
The night of February 14,
Willamette will entertain the
fast moving Portland univer
sity Pilots.
switching to basketball, be
cause of the lesser costs, in
stead of attempting to match
the more powerful and alleg-
erly "pure" major universities
as a gridiron attraction.
It works like this: The little
schools can't afford competitive
bidding; therefore they haven't
good teams, and so they don't
attract the paying customers.
What are some of the big
name teams of basketball?
That's easy City College of
New York, St. John's (which
doesn't even have a football
team), Seton Hall, St. Louis,
Canisius, Bradley, Bowling
Green, Depaul and others of
their Ignominious gridiron ilk.
St. Louis has dropped foot
ball because if its grid deficit.
Now Canisius has followed suit
after losing .$35,000, and is shift
ing its attention to basketball in
hopes of. rescuing the athletic
fund. St. Bonaventure has drop
ped $135,000 in thre years and
only recently lost its highly-re
garded coach, Hughie Devore, to
New York university, which
couldn't lick Vassar on an off
Saturday.
This is not to say that St.
Bonaventure is quitting foot
ball. But the sport didn't pay.
Could that have been because
of competitive bidding against
such as Notre Dame?
It all points up the number of
prevaricators who assertedly are
complying with the NCAA san
ity code, or, as some people fac
etiously refer to it,, the "sani
tary" code limiting aid to ath
letes.
Only seven schools confessed
voluntarily that they were giv
ing more than the alloted aid
to athletes when the NCAA sent
out its fill-it-in-on-your-honor
questionaire. These schools were
Eoston College, Villanova, Vir
ginia, Maryland, VMI, VPI and
the Citadel.
Nothing was ever a better re
commendation for enrollment
If your son goes to one of those
schools, or is going there, you
can be certain that he'll learn
the meaning of honor as well as
get an education.
For NCAA officials admitted
that: "We are not silly enough
to believe that everybody else
is complying."
Which makes the so-called
"sinful seven" gentlemen of
honor and means that the
rest have their haloes on so
tight they must have head
aches. get into action.
The preliminary was won by
Sacred Heart's "B" string, 44
to 28, with Vern Daniels scoring
21 points for the winners. He
potted 16 of them in the first
half.

Boxer's Future

The boxing future of Harold

heavyweight, will be determin

commission medical' advisory

This was announced yesterday
by Commissioner John da Grosa
at a hearing following Johnson's

Dempsey-Firpo Brawl Most
Dramatic Bevens Listed
By JACK HAND
New York, Feb. 10 MV-For
throbbing sports drama, the
primitive Dempsey-Firpo brawl
of Sept. 11, 1923, ranked tops
In the Associated Press' mid
century poll.
Almost 27 years later, the
events of that savage first round
still pack the raw drama of a
life-or-death struggle between
two jungle beasts.
When Luis Angel Firpo rose
from his seventh knockdown
to bull Dempsey across the
ring and knocked the world
heavyweight champ into the
press section, he touched off
an argument that may simmer
for another SO years.
Did Firpo, the huge "Wild Bull
o the Pampas," actually win
the title that wild night at the
Polo grounds?
The record books say "no."
Many ringsiders say "yes." They
insist Dempsey never would
have "climbed" back into the
ring if friendly boxing writers
hadn t helped.
Some claim Dempsey was
not badly hurt when the hulk
ing Firpo, swinging his iron
fists like a club, sprawled the
champ over a newsman's type
writer. They say a right hand
punch to the shoulder caught
Dempsey off balance that

St. Mary's Officials Get
Unique Bid for Coach Job
San Francisco, Feb. . 10 U.
Officials of St. Mary's, looking
for a new head football coach,
had this wistful appeal to con
sider today:
"Dear Sirs:
"Since Joe Verducci has left
as head coach of the football
team, I would like to say that
my father would be very hap
py to take the job.
"He has never been a coach
before, but he knows enough
football to fill a book. We lis
ten to almost every football
game and when one team is in
a tough situation he tells me
what they should do.
"I only laugh at him, but he
turns out to be right.
"My father and Frankie Al
bert almost think alike. And I
betcha you'd like Frankie Al
bert as a coach. My father
knows plenty of trick plays
rope and tumbled out.
Others insist a dazed Dempsey
never would have beaten Ref-
eree Jack Gallagher's count if
it hadn't been for the boosts by
ringside reporters anxious to
get rid of a 192 Ms -pound burden.
Dempsey should be the best
source. Here's what he said
recently when interviewed after
he was named the best fighter
of the last SO years:
"I didn't even know he had
knocked me out of the ring
until I came to on my stool
between rounds," said Jack.
"I thought I had been knocked
out."
The brief second round, last
ing only 57 seconds, was almost
an anti-climax. Firpo missed
his big chance in the first when
he hesitated momentarily after
Dempsey's return. A Dempsey
right almost dropped him for an
eighth time just before the bell.
Dempsey at his destructive
best wasted no time in the
second. Aroused by the threat
of the 3 to 1 underdog he
floored Firpo for a five-count
and then stretched him out
with a left to the head fol
lowed by a chilling right to
the chin.
No other phase of the AP 50
year toll drew as many different
answers as the question of "most
dramatic."

'Win for John' Inspires
Ducks for Beaver Clash
(By the Associated Press)
Oregon had its inspiration to
day now can they do it?
"It," of course, being to knock
over the Oregon State Beavers
when the two quintets clash to
night at Eugene in one-half the
Northern di v i s i o n basketball
slate.
The other half of the eve
ning's conference bill is being
served up at Pullman where the
fourth place Idaho Vandals seek
to do a little king-pin knocking
of their own against the division
leading Washington State Cou
gars. Oregon's "inspiration" was
delivered yesterday when
Team Physician Dr. George
Guldager ordered Coach John
Warren to the hospital with vi
rus pneumonia. Guldager said,
however, that Warren's condi
tion was not serious but that
he would be bedded down un
til next week.
Warren's absence puts the
coaching chores up to his assist
ant, Don Kirsch, for both to
night's clash with OSC and to
morrow's non-conference meet
ing with St. Mary's.
The Ducks had more than a
"win for John" clamor to stir
them to one of their "on"
nights. A victory would lift
them out of the division cel
