Final Returns in Nation-Wide Poll Make Few Changes Runner Tops Ruth for Sixth Place in Rating PUT SCHISSLER ON SPOT IN SALARY CUT WRANGLE By ALAN GOULD Associated press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Deo. 30. (AP) Addi tional returns In the Associated Press' nation-wide poll on the out standing American athlete of 933 failed today to disturb the final ranking-order of the list headed by Oene Sarszen, winner of the American and British open championships with record-breaking golf. The slightly revised figures, how ever, tightened the contest for posi tions in the top flight and broke a sixth place tie In favor of Bill Carr, Olympic 400-meter champion, over the one and only Babe Ruth.

The honor laat year, went to Pspjr Martin, world series hero of the St. Louis Cardinals. Track Stars Popular The voting disclosed the popular ity of Olympic track atars. Three of tfiem gained places In the first ten. An odd contrast w-, that Eddie To lan received 84 votes for his double victory In the Olympic sprints, whereas his dusky rival, Ralph Met calfe of Marquette, got only one vote In recognition of his sweep In the national championship spring honors In the Olympic tryouts, where he beat Tolan at both 100 and 300 me ters. Olln Dutra, professional golf cham pion, had his total increased to five votes In the late balloting, but the rush to elect Sara sen left most of the other golf talent out In the cold. Few Footballers Named Harry Newman, Michigan's all America quarterback, waa the only football star to get much attention. Don Zimmerman of Tulane, all Amerlcan back, got- two votes and one of his running mates, Warren He lien of Pittsburgh, received one. So did Lawrence Ely of Nebraska, all America, center. Outside of Tony Osnsoneii, light weight king, the professional boxers were largely Ignored.

Kerr and Coach Paul Schiaeler of Oregon State college re garding the salary of the gridiron tutor will precede whatever action the atate board of higher education will take towards slashing Schissler's 666-66 a month salary. This was agreed by the board at i the late session Monday after Schiss ler's protect that bis salary had been cut without his permission drew vig orous expressions of disapproval from the board. Chancellor Kerr stated openly: "I am greatly disappointed in his atti tude." Bchlssters communication to the board was brief. He enclosed a copy of his contract with the note in which he complained that hta wage had been reduced from 6666.66 to 586 a month. The reduction waa In keeping with the uniform reduc tions given all faculty members. It was assumed, board members and Dr. Kerr said, that he would consent to the cut as the others had. 'I think that In Coach Schlaaler contract there must be some recip rocal agreement to the effect that he must perform his duties," Dr.. Kerr explained. "Otherwise he could sign the contract and receive his salary without performing what he had been paid for. We have some recourse." This wss taken to mean that if Schlssler Is to remain at the helm at the present salary, results', and good ones, must be had from the state college team. Schlseler now Is In the eaat and further dlacusaloh of his status will wait until his return. NORMAL QUINTET DEFEATS OREGON INVADER 43-26 Sons Hold Reinhart Crew On Even Terms in First Half Pile Up Lead in Finale Giant Jones Stars ASHLAND, Dec. 30 (Spl.) Uni versity of Oregon basketball squad's first invasion of the Rogue river re gion proved a dismal failure here last night, as ths Webfoots opened their annual barnstorming tour by taking a 43-3S spanking from Coach How ard Kobson's Southern Oregon Nor mal quintet. In a preliminary Ash land high school defeated Jsckson vllle high, 38 to 10.

Willie Jones, slx-foot-flvs Sons forward, led the last half scoring spree and emerged with high point honors, hav ing 18 digits to his credit. Teachers Carry Fignt. Even with only two weeks' practice and having a lineup without a single lnttsrman, ths Ashland teachers whom Hobson not so long ago characterized "the greenest squad I have aver seen," carried the fight to Oregon s entry !n the Pacific coast confer ence. The great height advantage possessed by ths Sons mora thsn m&de up for ths smoother floor play of the visitors and forced the Web- foot defensive men to foul repeatedly In their attempts to keep Hobson's giants from dropping In cripples. The gsme. as a whole, was one oi the most thrilling ever played here, as both teams used variations of the fast break and maintained a lightning fast pace throughout. After the Sons had held a one- point lead at half time with ths count standing. 30-16, It was not long before the rangy Jones, with excel lent support from Cliff McLean, Ward Howell and Dick Jocklsch, began sinking baskets In rapid succession on a pivot ahot from around ths foul line.
