"X think Prink did as good as could
be expected this year with the sched

someone to crab, no matter what kind

"The players wouldn't flay much

In the stadium had a lot to do with
the 33-0 defeat handed Oregon by
U. 8. C. The week before they played
Oregon State in cold rainstorm.
Then the Jump down south to that

gchulz's freshman eleven will
give Prink some new men to fill
In the vacancies next fall. Mc
Creariy of Portland and MIHIffan
of University IIIjfIi of Eugene
showed up well at halfback,
mam of Minnesota made a good
record at full. Lnndeen of Port
land at guard, Nell son or Oakland,
Calif., and the negro, Torrence,
from !ia Grande at end will be
good material for Prink to work
The playing of Bernla Hughes at
center this fall came In for soma
praise from the tall young coach.
"He's one of those '60-mlnute players'
you don't often get on team. He
deserved to make more all-ooast teams
than he did. Watch for some sen
sational playing by Hughes next fall."
Asked what Oregon' chances were
against Louisiana State college to
morrow, he declared they should be
good If the flu epidemic reports are
not true. Wlshard and Butch Morse,
first team ends, are reported HI from
the disease while en route to Baton
Rouge. It looks like some more of
the luck that robbed Calllson of men
like Ml kulak, Morgan and Kostka In
crucial games the past season. .

Associated Pretw Sports Writer.
NEW YOFiX, Deo. 16-iAP) The
wildest trading season In all base
ball history has come down to Its
climax with the close of the annual
major league meetings, but the end
of a mighty effort to stir Interest
In 1933 with new faces In new places
Is-by no means at hand.
Loath to go home after three days
of wholesale barter, a half dozen mag
nates of the National and American
leagues still haunted the lobbies of
the hotels where the tread of aching
feet had mingled with the bid, call
and asked prices on choice and medi
ocre talent.
Olant Shift Continues.
BUI Terry, young manager of the
New York Giants and ringleader In
the National league ahakeup, still
was not content with disposing of
almost half his athletes and went to
work anew on the Brooklyn Dodgers
and the Boston Braves In a three-
cornered swap.
This shift Involved Catcher Shanty
Hogan, who would go back to his first
major league love, the Braves, for
cash and perhaps a player who could
be added to Terry's bid to Brooklyn
for Dazxy Vanoe, once the right
handed pitching marvel of the league.
Involved In this same transaction
was Terry's offer of substitute First
Baseman Sam Leslie for Johnny Fred
erick. Brooklyn outfielder. Pending
definite decision on this, Brooklyn
has virtually closed with Joe Judge
for his first base services next sea
son. Judge has the permission of the
Washington Senators to make a deal
for himself with the Dodgers only.
Cronln Gets Star Pair.
Judge Emll Fuchs and Bill McKech
nle of the Braves, waited to hear
about the purchase of Hogan, and Joe
Cronln, American league counterpart
of Bill Terry In free-handed dealing,
expected an answer from Cleveland
on a proposition to swap catcnore,
Roy Spencer for Luke Sewell.
Completion ot the final deal laat
night. In which the Irrepressible Cro
nln, backed by the master-minding of
the "Old Fox." Clark Orlfflth, nabbed
Jack Russell, right hand pitcher, and
Bruce Connatser, substitute first
baseman, from Cleveland in exchange
for the slugging rookie first sacker,
Harley Boss, from Chattanooga, left
only the world champion Yankees, of
all the 16 major league clubs, with
out a single deal completed since
the closing of the 1032 season.
In that short time. 44 major league
players have changed berths, an aver
age of 13 per cent of the entire play
ing strength of the two leagues on
the basis of a 23-player limit for each
club.
Many Minors Bought.
Jn addition to this unprecedented
turnover, eight minor league players
have figured In deals. . The Boston
Braves purchased Al Wright and Dick
Oyselman from the Missions for $60,
000 and Bill Walters, a third baseman.
The Cincinnati Reds bought Clarence
Blair, former Cub tnflelder, from Los
Angeles, and Irving Plummer, out
fielder, from Wllkes-Bsrre. The Giants
took Pitcher Bill Shores from Port
land for cash and Sam Olbson. and
shortstop John Ryan from Buffalo
for Inflelder Eddie Marshall. Brook
lyn bought Linus Prey, a shortstop,
from Nashville for Earl Mattlngly, a
pitcher, and cash, for 1934 delivery.
The Senators dealt Harley Boss to
Cleveland.
The Giants, although Terry tore
the team apart, seem to have gained
little, while the experts agree that
Washington. In three deals has gained
tremendously in the pitching ftaff
and the outfield. '
The Senators, prims favorites now
to battle the Yankees to a standstill
next season, gathered In two of the
American league's ranking southpaws.
Earl Whltehill from Detroit, and Wally
Stewart from St. Louis, and added new
right hand strength In Jack Russell
from Cleveland to team with Alvln
Crowder and Monte Weaver.
A tremendous punch has been added
to the Washington outfield with the
return of the old favorite, "Goose"
Goal In. from St. Louis, along with
Red Schulte, a capable gardener.
TALENT FORFEITS
Following his failure to settle an
argument over a ruling. Referee
George Harrington awarded the Tal
ent blgh-Medford Junior hl?h bas
ketball, game to the local boys on a
forfeit. The score officially was 1-0,
although Coach Henderson's men
were ahead, 15-0, when It was called.
The argument arose when Harrlng
ton called a foul on a Medford man
and held up two fingers to Indicate
the man. Coach Southwlok of Talent
declared he meant two foul ahote. and
withdrew his team from the floor
when given only on.
In a preliminary game the Junior
high midgets trimmed the Jackson
ville midgets, 33-20. Zszuo Maruyama
and Don Krous played outstanding
games for the winners
