Willamette to Play Nevada in Finals Tonight at Reno

FOR THE FIRESIDE BOWL FAN
' Copies of the official Rose Bowl program have arrived in
Salem 58 pages from the DeSoto advertisement inside the front
cover to the Cadillac ad inside the back cover. That's traveling
in pretty fast company and it remains to be seen whether
Oregon State is in the Cadillac class in football. Opposite the
Cadillac ad it informs us that
parking is free around the 100,
809 capacity stadium; there is a
jail near Tunnel 28; the press
box is on the same side as most
of the Oregon State rooters; an
emergency hospital is located at
tunnel 27, with nurses; and a
fire department handy.
The bowl is 77 rows high and
the tunnels extend from row 27
to 42. Seats in each row are
numbered from left to right, 1
to 101 or so, so if you're sitting
in the section served by tunnel
20, row 62, and seat 104, you
will be in the southwest side
about opposite the 30-yard line. . .
Iowa gets the front half of the
program and Oregon State the
back, with big pictures of the
players and of the campus at
Cornvallcy.
ONE OF THE ZOOM BOVS
VISITS
Cadet Jack Bishop will leave
tomorrow to return to Pensacola,
Fla., after some Christmas "shore
leave" from flight training in the
Naval Air Fnrrp. Since he nlaved
two ind a fraction seasons with Willamette university's basketball
team before joining last winter,-he naturally gravitated to playing
on the Whiting Field quintet as a teammate of Wes Malcolm, an
ex-Willamette athlete who is an ensign commissioned two months
ago.
If lucky, they will be chosen for the Naval Air Station
Training Command all-star team which will enter the all-eastern
Navy playoffs in Chicago, then go to the all-Navy playoffs in
Los Angeles ... On opposing teams in the command are Bill
Kundrat, former College of Idaho basketeer, and Dick Wilson,
Oregon State player of last year, ,
Bishop, a Salem high school product, still is 6 feet 6 inches
tall, a height which doesn't eem to bother him when he climbs
into a cockpit. He has six months to go before going on active
duty with a commission and in four months will graduate into jet
planes the gadgets which fly over Wichita as the pilot inhales
and are over Little Rock as he exhales , . ,
ODDSj AND ENDS AND STUFF
One of the more interested spectators at the Rose Bowl game
in Pasadena next Tuesday will be Waller Cline, native of Iowa and
long-time resident and businessman of Salem. Mr. and Mrs. Cline
left by automobile Wednesday intent on seeing his native Iowa's
icam lane uie imi a gum. , . .
Iowa Coach Forest Evashevski's 3-year-old son is named
Tom Harmon Evashevski. 'Evy' was Harmon's blocking back
during their days at Michigan . . . We'll have to take back our
too-quick comment earlier that Oregon State couldn't find
46,000 people in Oregon to buy Rose Bowl tickets. We hadn't
considered the many alums elsewhere who would grab their
share of four. The past week we've helped dispose of eight
, that Salem people found they couldn't use, but that's all . . .
EIGHT MAKE CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICA
Time for our annual summary of those controversial All
America football teams and we find that eight players were picked
bv everybody who is anybody. It's always complicated by Look s
insistence on naming 22 players and by the Sporting News refusal
to name John Witte of Oregon State. The vaunted baseball bible
liked Wiggin of Stanford at tackle instead, but Witte made 11 of
12. We will try to list only seven selections, however.
Unanimous choices were Kramer of Michigan at end, Walton
of Pittsburgh at end, Tubbs of Oklahoma at center, Parker of
Ohio State at guard, Glass of Baylor at guard, McDonald of Okla
homa and Majors of Tennessee at halfback, and Brown of Syracuse
at fullback . . . Horning, Notre Dame quarterback, was named to
a first team only by United Press and Ploen, Iowa quarterback, only
by National Broadcasting Co. (gamc-of-the-wcek TV producer) . . .
And who but the Associated Press would pick Bossclcr of
Miami at halfback? We have a lot of respect for the AP's
aystem of regional boards, who were the only ones to pick
Don Heinrich of Washington in 1952, who is doing quite well,
thank you, with the Eastern division champions, the New York
Giants.
In 1953 the consensus All-Americans were Stan Jones, Maryland
.acklc; Johnny Laltner, Notre Dame quarterback; Paul Giel, .Minne
sota back; and Paul Cameron, UCLA tailback ... In 1954 they were
Alan Amechc, Wisconsin fullback; Howard Cassady, Ohio State
back; and Ralph Guglielmi, Notre Dame back ... In 1955 they
were Kramer, Michigan end (repealer this year); Beagle, Navy
end; Pellegrini, Maryland center; and CaSsady, Ohio State back . . .
Last year onlv Frank Leahy thought McDonald of Oklahoma
rated the first team good old farsightcd Frank. This year
there is no doubt in anybody's mind. The 1956 chart of Who's

Capital Journal Special Wrllcr
Whin thP Kew York Football Giants defeated Philadelphia a couple
of weeks ago to win the Eastern Division pro football championship,
it was the culmination of a building program that began almo.st from
scratch here in Salem in 1954 I "
As a 'result, there will be much
more than usual interest in the
World's Championship game this
Sunday when the Giants tangle
with the Chicago Bears
This game is attracting unusual
interest in pro football hotbeds
across the nation, too, and not
because it's a couple of new teams
in the big one, as it may seem to
the recent TV fan. On the con
trary, the stepped up interest is
because the two most famous
team in pro football are meeting
once again for the championship.
Regular Playoff Foes
For the first 14 years of the
championship playoffs, from 1933
through 1946. there were only two
years when the Giants or the Bears
or both were not in the champion
ship game. Each won eight divi
sional titles while the other cities
averaged one a piece.
It's been a major rebuilding job
for both teams for ten years
since they met for the big prize
in HMfi.
The player draft system, which
gives the lower clubs first choice,
bit the two team. The All-America
Conference and the Canadian lea
gue also served to level them.
The Giants' first try failed them
although they defeated Cleveland
twice in 1950. That was all the
Browns lost that year and they
then edged the Giants in a play
off of a tie for first place.

landed Bob Schnelker, quite an

lot of ways. From a kid who
burned and sulked when he con
sidered fans and scribes un
reasonable. Feller became a
smoothie who talked easily about
his setbacks as well as his trl
umDhs. He made adjustments in his
pitching, too. Three years in the
Navy during the second World
War took the edge off his speed.
But the batters looking for a fat
one soon found themselves biting
on a new repertoire of curves and
sliders.
Feller's record is a cinch to
earn him a spot in baseball's Hall

Division championship, Mara
said. "But our chief rival always
hat been and, I suppose, always
will be. the Chicago Bears. We re
the two oldest teams in the busi
ness and certainly me oiaesi
rivals."
Recalls "Sneaker" Game
Mara, who had followed the
Giants from the bench since his
father purchased the tattered
club for $2,500 in 1925, recalled
the games wilh the Bears most
and spoke with particular relish
of the times the wants were auie
to give "Papa Bear'' (owner and
ex-coach George Halas) a bad
time.
Of course, he spoke most
highly of the one time in four
such meetings .or the cham
pionship that the Giants emerg
ed victorious. This was the
famous "sneaker" game of lf34
when the temperature stood at
nine degrees and the field was
a sheet of ice.
The Bears came Into the game
with a 13-game win streak and
were heavy favorites, but in the
second half the Giants appeared
on the field in basketball shoes.
Trailing 13 3 going into the
last quarter, the Giants began to
get the feel of their unusual foot
wear. They ran wild for 27 points
in the final quarter and a 30-13
victory.

FELLER'S FEAT RECALLED
CLEVELAND (UP) Bob Feller,
great Cleveland fircballcr who re
tired Friday, set an all-time major
league record of 18 strikeouts
against the Detroit Tigers on Oct,
2, 1!)38 yet lost tho game I
consecutive years of All-Star
honors.
The Bears had the top back, ,
the legendary Bronko Nagurski.
Despite the fact the 230-pound i
Nagurski was a nightmare for
New York for years, all seemed
to hold him in the highest of per
sonal and professional regard.
"Like Ileim. he was a very
gentle and likeable guy." Mara
stated. "He'd break a player in
two, if one dared tackle him
alone, and then he'd apologetic
ally help pickup the pieces."
"The only back I ever saw that
ran his own interference," Owen
said.
Bronko Broke 5-3-2-1
Nagurski set hack history in
one memorable Giant-Bear battle.
Coach Owen, considered as one of
the greatest defensive coaches of
all time, decided that a team
should use something besides the
inevituble 6-2-21 when the other
team had the ball.
He had an extra linebacker on
his squad and thus plotted a
revolutionary 5 3-2-1 to spring on
the Bears,
Nagurski took one look at the
seemingly undermanned line and
called for the hall. The middle-
linebacker alertly moved in for
the kill.
"About 12 or 14 yards iin
fleld they began digging this
unfortunate fellow out from
under Nagunki and the rest
of the secondary," Mara re
called. "Thev carried him off
the field and that was the end
nf the five-three until Owen
found another linebacker sev
eral years later.
Most of the time It's been a
knockdown dragout fight between
the two teams for over 30 years.
Howell Has Axe to Grind
Aside from the great rivalry
between Halas and the Maras
and the hectic 17 17 tie they
played earlier this year, there's
another angle in Sunday's game.
In H4H the Bears great
