MATHIAS IS FRIENDLY, MODEST ,
Bob Mathiaa ia going to be one of the Marine corps moat
modest members when he is
ternity next July for a two-
year visit He was the Ideal
guest at McMinnville's annual
Quarterback club frolic the
football banquet this week.
' He survived incessant ques
tioning, his speech delivered in
a soft but firm voice, enjoyed
a post-banquet discussion with
Linfield and Mac High play
ers, and graciously related his
Olympic experiences at a re
ception for senior Linfield
gridders and coaches. .
For a lad only one day less
than 23 years old, Mathias has
accomplished more already for
U. S. diplomacy than all the
politicians we know.
SHAW BETTER
THAN CAMERON
' Gleanings from his sideline
talks:
"Shaw (Oregon quarter
back, is terrific. I think he's
better than Cameron (of
UCLA)."
"It would be fine if Russian politicians were as nice as
Russian athletes," referring to the Soviet Olympic team.
Winning the Olympic decathlon the second time was a
greater thrill than the ftrst time, In 1841 when he was only
IT. His hardest event was the 1500-mtter run, lust short
f a mile, because it climaxed twe days of grind. Events
requiring most work to perfect were the pole vanlt and
javelia throw.
He ia majoring in three subject! at Stanford drama and
speech, pre-medlcine and education giving him a choice of
teaching, coaching, or radio and television when he gets out
f the Marine corps.
He probably won't compete for a spot In the next Olym
pics. He made hia decision while coming home from the Olym
pics in 1952 not to turn out for football, told Coach Chuck
Taylor, who said it was up to Mathias but Stanford would be
glad to have him back. Stanford coaches put no pressure on
him, but Mathias indicated that some alumni did.
Olympic team scoring, quite an Issue in the American
press, was almost Ignored by competing- athletes, since the
Olympics stresses individual efforts and doesn't recognlte
team standings. ,...,..-..-.. .- -
De-emphasis of football could hurt attendance, but play
era should compete for self satisfaction and love of the game
rather than to please the fans.
BUT, SIR -VASSAR IS FOR DAMES
A Chlco State fan who objects to the protest lodged by
Linfield college people against tacticts and sportsmanship
shown by the Chlco State coach recently has penned a card
t Dr. Harry Dillin, Linfield president:
"Dear Fantywalst: We are negotiating with Vaasar for
a football gam tor Linfield."
PORT MORTEM ON DUCKS
Quoting a San Francisco Chronicle columnist BEFORE
the Oregon vs. California game last Saturday: "California
shouldn't have much trouble with Oregon. Oregon, we think,
has shot its bolt. It wouldn't surprise us in the least if the
Bears scorch the pinfeathera off the Webfoots by 30 points
and up. Oregon, we submit, is tired after making a couple
of heroic stands; whereas, the Californians are beginning to
flex their muscles again."
After the game: "If you ask us, the Bears should
thank their lucky stars in heaven that the thing ended in
a scorelese tie . . . The Bears looked quite ordinary against
the Ducks. If anything, Oregon looked better . . . Hftw
Oregon came up from nowhere in pre-season reckoning is
good for the balance of the conference between north
and south."
GILL UNLIKES FREE THROWS
Slats Gill isn't as unconventional as Kansas' Phog Allen
but the Oregon State coach's ldess on free throwing would
be smiled upon by Allen, who
as Gill at Beaverville.
Gill auggested to the 30-Staters here that instead of (lv
ing tree throws for fouls that
one throw is given now; two points for two throws. Advan
tages, he believes, would be that the game would be speeded
,up and more enjoyable to watch, and adds that now "we spend
half our time teaching our boys
didn't nave to do that we could
. The extra free throw when the first one is missed goes
against one's sense of Justice, Gill averred. A proposal to
assess an extra penalty lor fouls tends to put a premium on
ball control. All one would have to do is hang on to the ball
until they fouled you, then make the foul shot and get the
ball out of bounds. It would spoil it for the fans, he thinks.
WHERE'D THE GIANTS COME FROM?
Gill also explained why there are so many tall players
these days. Every tall high school boy in the U.S. is now tried
out because of the advantage of height in basketball. The
average American boy is perhaps an inch taller than a genera
tion ago. but otherwise no more tall boys than there always
have been. The gold still la where you find it.
