FLIP OF COIN WORTH 7 POINTS
We've had a rare story tucked away in the bark of the mind
ever since Gus Dorais. the famous Nntin Da
Dorais, known as the 1913 passer
lonicu uui Dy no means invented the pass, also coached at Con
zaga university.
This tale came tp us by way of a former Idaho coach, James
A. "Babe" Brown, who played in a 1922 game between Idaho and
Gonzaga. Stockton, a Gonzaga halfback, was tackled near the goal
une ann me Dan squirted over
the goal where Sib Kleffner of
Idaho fell on it. A long argu
ment resulted over whether it
was a touchdown for Gonzaga or
a touchback (which gives no
points but would have given Idaho
the ball on the 20).
In ane of sports' most un
usual moments, a game was
decided by the flip of coin,
Dorais' team winning the toss
' and the game, 14-7.
No one has said whether ifc was
heads or tails. That Kleffner is
is the father of Flip Kleffner,
Idaho's outstanding fullback of
todav. '
I.KAHY, GOING BUT
NOT FORGOTTEN
Frank Leahy will have to be
pessimistic about something be
sides Notre Dame's football for
tunes, now that he has revealed
his retirement. One fall, for ex
ample, he declared soberly he
didn't see how the Irish could
make a first down, so they proceeded to have an unbeaten season.
Leahy was found to be the gratious type, when, some time
back he granted an interview in Boise courteous, sharp and easy
to talk with. Culled from his conversation are the following bits of
"Notre Damc-ology":
Material doesn't just pour into South Bend because boys
dream of playing for the Irish. "We can get all we want of
what I'll call the Class B boys," good boys but not great like
the kind of greats needed to win at Notre Dame. The univer
sity really goes out after 22 freshmen each year, but not being
able to offer as much as other big time-schools, Leahy asserted,
saying there were only 22 scholarships available.
About 80 per cent of Notre Dame players arc Catholics. There
are five assistant coaches to help handle the squad of 100 which
dwindles to 75, and Leahy claimed his squad had one of the high
est general I.Q. in the nation. No one can enter Notre Dame unless
he is in the upper third of his high school class, and that applies to
athletes, too, Leahy asserted.
STRONG SALEM BOY AT O.S.C.
George Meyers of Salem has been listed by Oregon State
coaches, as one of the two Rook griddcrs with the best chance
of playing varsity next season. Meyers, a big tackle, also is a
heavyweight wrestler and shot putter who placed second in the
state prep meet last spring, i The other frosh mentioned was
Leon Hunter of Central Catholic . . . Spotted in Wagner's restau
rant in Corvallis: A 7-foot-3 picture of Swede Halbrook on a poster
to promote the March of Dimes campaign. A tube for dimes runs
the full length of the picture, with a capacity of 1,827 dimes . . .
NO SOFT SCHEDULE FOR SALEM v
A season's record to date of 8-6 doesn't sound like much
unless one analyzes Salem high school's schedule. Probably
no other team came up with such a sloncy path. The Vikings
have lost to Milwaukie, rated No. 1 in the last state poll;
Corvallis, rated No. 2; Marshficld twice, rated No. 3: Roosevelt
(split in two games). No. 4: Eugene, No. 5; and tomorrow night
will play Corvallis again and Grants Pass, rated No. 7, here
lriday and Saturday
Does that end the misery?
(rated No. 6 before Salem skunked
again, with lowly Springfield thrown in. That represents seven of
the top 10. Coach Harold Hauk doesn't believe Roosevelt belongs
as high as No. 4.
STRAY STRAWS
PCC football schedules of 1957 and 1958 were released last
week, in case one is keeping his date book, and it shows Oregon
State opening against USC both years; Oregon opening against
Idaho each time; both Oregon teams play all eight members (only
Oregon, OSC and WSC do); and Idaho plays only three each
year . . . When Lebam, Wash., played at Salem Academy recently

Make No P
No Chance
To Add to
Club Power
Salem Senators made no plav-
. er deals at the Western Inter
national league directors meeting
at Lewiston over the week end
I because offers of trades would
not have helped the Salem base
ball team.
That was the report brought
back Sunday by Hugh Luby, gen-
, cral manager, and Bruce Wil-
j liams, Senator club president.
The 10 clubs all were wanting to
strengthen their teams but deals
probably won't jell until along
toward spring training, Luby
said.
Raised Salary Limit
In other official action, di
rectors tentatively approved a
154'game schedule to open
April 29; raised the monthly
salary limit by' $600 to SB000
for all players; voted to keep
all home gate receipts; re
moved the limit of 12 on num
ber, of veteran players on the
roster; raised the roster total
from 16 to 17, excluding Nat
ional Defense Service players
who are allowed at the rate of
one per four others; decided
that games rained out in the
first half would count in the
second half standings; abol
ished the transportation pool,
Salem opposed removal of the
veteran limit, keeping of all the
home gate instead of 60 per cent
as before and ending of the
transportation pool, buf was out
voted on each issue.
"Salem won't suffer," Luby
pointed out, "because we feel the
Senators will be well supported
by home fans. Our reason was
to protect clubs going on the
road with meager funds." Voting
with Salem were Vancouver and
Tri-City.
The transportation pool for
merly was built uqj from one
cent from each admission going
to the league pool, which was
divided at the end of the season
according to miles traveled. The
change will cost Salem about $300
a season, the general manager
noted. '
While the veteran limit will
be used by some to pick up old-1
timers. Salem intends to have i
mostly limited service and rook- i
ies, Luby observed.
Schedule Changes Due
Yet to be altered on the split
season schedule adopted is the
adding of games on May 31 (af
ter Memorial day) and July 5
(after Independence day) and to
arrange for all July 4 and 5
games to be played in the United
States. That, Luby pointed out,
was because those dates mean
litllc in Canada.
The keeping of all home gate
receipts will mean that each club
must concentrate on home pro
motions, for teams which draw
poorly at home will have less in-' second place in the Capitol lea

Great high school basketball
players who don't click in
college competition probably
lack one or two fundametnal abil
ities which make them easy tar
gets, the Salem Breakfast club
was told this morning at the
Senator hotel.
Al Lightner, Pacific Coast con
ference referee and sports edi
tor for the Oregon Statesman,
explained that a player must be
an all-around performer if not
tall and husky, at least a dvna-
mo, a long shot specialist, play
maker and feeder.
Lightner, whose talk covered
prospects of Northern division
teams, added that perhaps a lad
who was a prep star has only
one good shot, can't dribble with
both hands, is easily checked or
I can t handle defensive assign
1 ments.
A Shrewd Bunch
These Northern division
coaches are a shrewd bunch who
play every game as though it was
a national championship' con
test, " he said. They "sit up
nights" charting new defensive .
or offensive patterns. Lightner i
concluded. It s one of the tough
est leagues in the nation, he as
serted. So far, Washington has done
the best job of stopping Swede I

chase headed into its second, half
Monday and only one thing was
certain the eventual outcome still
is uncertain.
The University of Oregon Ducks
have the inside track at present,
leading the five loop members wilh
a 6-2 record and a chance to
widen the breach Tuesday and
Wednesday nigiits. .
The Ducks host on those nights
the Washington Stale Cougars,
who, for the most part, nave been
completely ineffective this season.
Oregon State, the second-place
team at 5-3, takes over host chores
for the Cougars Friday and Sat
urday nights. At the same time,
Idaho, in the No. 3 spot with 4-4,
travels to Seattle and a two-game
scries with Washinglon.
Washington Slate holds down
fourth place wilh a 2-4 record.
while Washington's Huskies bring
up the tail-end of the standings
at 1-5.
Oregon Slate, pre-scason favor
ite to cophe division title, found
prosperity too hard to take after
last Friday night's 52-41 victory
over Oregon and dropped a 42-40
decision n in the second game of
the series Saturday night.
The Ducks took control of the
final game of the scries early in
the first half and managed to stay
ahead the rest of the wav. al
though the Staters pushed the
another in front. Idaho tried
only one and Halbrook scored
more than 120 points in four
games.
Strong zone defenses have
kept scores down in the Oregon-
UhU meetings, Lightner observ
ed, and all OSC opponents have
made Halbrook earn his points.
WSCS upset of Idaho has made
Oregon and UbU coaches pork

Washington, taking on an inter

Karl Voegtlin was the big gun

BYU caught fire at the start of
the fourth quarter and narrowed
the gap to one point, at 50-49, with
