LONG THOUGHTS S One of the busiest men in the Hayward Field pressbox Sat urday was Clay Cooper, University of Missouri scout, who filled a stenographer's notebook with diagrams, figures and comments. -( I . t ! f ' iS. 7 w fpY II ' it II as,iiiiji VI ss-sss8sisssssaiss ! RAY WESTFALL still great punter. 'Missouri's athletic scholarship program, after which many chools have patterned theirs, is a corker. There are four -kinds, the No. 4 being the plush job for -the most-wanted lads. It includes tuition, books and fees, plus a $65 check each month to apply on room and board. All alumni donations must bo tunneled through the university committee which approves the grant. The committee goes over the boy's high school trans cript to see if he will sink or swim In college studies. Our question: How does an alumnus know if his donation will go lor a football player or a cornet player? Answer He doesn't. In comparison the Northwest conference, of which Willamette b a member, allows only 80 per cent of tuition to be paid to an athlete, plus $75 a month job with the university. Willamette's policy is not to give campus jobs, but to help get off-season, part time work for the brawny youth ... J: STRAY BITS FROM THE t'PPER BALCONY s Ray Westfall's punting average didn't suffer despite the mud. The OSC back, whose 42.2 average is fourth in the nation, got off three for 48. 45 and 39 yards. His longest were 63 against Stanford, 61 against College of Pacific and 61 against Washington. . . . Art Litchman, Oregon's energetic athletic publicity director, Sato he "narrowly escaped" being an alumnus of U. of Missouri in stead of Oregon about IS years ago. With his high school trans eropt in hand he started to hitchhike from Long Beach, Calif., to Missouri, only to be picked up by an Oregon grad. a California publisher, who had talked him into the Eugene institution before they had gone 100 miles ... The halftime "dinner" served at Hayward pressbox really iwas something U behold and hold: Roast turkey carved on the spot, pisza, sandwiches, cold ruts, cupcakes decorated with an "0" on top, fruit, coffee, milk and' coke. Big job for' the doorman was to keep us chiselers out . . . Corvallis high school set a hospitable chocolate and donuts to South down there ... Litchman also related the tlucks have played only three home games in the rain in the past 10 seasons. And that is true even in a rainy climate . . . Phil Ki el, Sweet Home's outstanding gridder last year, has been playing .svith Boise Junior college this season, a team which lost only its final game, to Pasadena Juco, 45-19, to spoil Boise's bid to get into the Junior Rose Bowl ... i Johnny Eggers, OSC athletic publicity chief, reports in the alumni magazine that basketball coach Slats Gill recommended Tony Vlastelica to the pros, but the pros said he wasn't big enough. They apparently want them 6-7 or better these days and Vlastelica is 6-5 .. . Dick Mason, OSC back, has a four-year college grade average of 3.27, qualifying him for the All-American scholastic team ... " ' BASS PROVES TO BE A FROSH HALFBACK PROFUNDO ' Readers may recall the name of Dick Bass, the swift Negro i halfback from Vallejo, Calif, who was the object of coaches' affection all over this great nation of ours. He scored 256 points and gained 1964 yards as a prep senior, earning raves , for his ability to be where the tacklrrs weren't. Bass was quoted , as saying the UCLA campus was "very pretty," but he settled i on College of Pacific, where a fabulous deal was cooked np for him. A former roommate of a friend of Bass' father told J ns that vnung Dirk preferred a smaller college, and that the ; whole Valleje first team was offered scholarships at COP , . . Well, Bass has finished his freshman season at the Stockton educational factory with 10 touchdowns in three games on runs of 59. 48. 34, 85, 57, 52. 29, 30, 52 and 2 yards against San Francisco State JVs, Fresno State JVs and San Jose frosh. His footwork .' gained 214 yards on one game in 13 carries an average of 16.4 each time he cuddled the pigskin in his dusky hands. This info comes : by way of me brudder Moon who was the Ronnie Knox of his day ' back in Kansas and who now lives quietly in Tracy, Calif., near ,' Stockton ...

OCE ath- lrtic director, told the Salem Rreakfast club this morning that ainietes can learn oisuunesiv as essilv ss honesty from a college s sports prosram which over - em - phasiics intercollegiate com peti- tico. "You can't mix profesisonalism ,m,i.nntffl and still retain values from sports." the OCE basketball coach maintained. -Schools are the citadels of de mocracv, tor where else can stu dents learn It?

Journal Sports Editor tEltSE: There was no stenographer, we re sorry to say, for he was almost too busy to tell us much about our alma mater in the Show-Me atate where Don Faurot has coached for 20 years at the uni versity and nine years before that at Kirksville Teachers. Fau rot was born at Mountain Grove, Mo., where the Jones family lived between two red clay hills by the third scrub oak from the left We can say proudly that our oldest sister once had a date with Faurot at Mountain Grove high school, in the days before he became a ISO-pound fulldack at old Mizzou. Cooper finally explained his lung irain nuc. iuiaauuri auu lis split-T will meet Oregon State in the opening game of 1956 at Columbia, and Faurot doesn't ex- pec' Tommy Prothro to change n's "ns much by then.

Salem players after the game startling facts that the Oregon Fines by the conference don't help, because they amount to only a fraction of gate receipts. A sports program founded on gate receipts soon will cause the school to get into debt, will be subject to outside pressures and will twersti'ess the wrong values, he told the Senator hotel gather- mg. I The OCE program alluws only to ainicuc scnuiarsnips, pius 41 ! jobs at $30 a month, requiring 1 real work on the campus, the coach pointed out. "We have ibeen cnt.cifed but we are as I pure as any college that can be found, he asserted. "wnue our conierrnce aoesn 1 have a transfer rule, except that an athlete has to have passed 12 hours at the farmer school, I feel that we should have ore to re move any abuses in some in stances," he concluded.
