NEW YORK. Deo. 31. (API Judg
ing xrom the reaction of the coun
try's porting experts. 1934 la the
year ol the big earthquake In ath
latlo result.
There may be sharp difference of
opinion as to Just what conetltutee
an "upset" In sports, but there ap-
pears no doubt, on the baala of the
Associated Press fourth annual poll,
that the expert experienced more
and bigger shocks this year thsn ever
before. Prom Pasadena on New Year's
day. when Columbia's Llona upset
Stanford, until the Polo Grounds In
December, when the football Qtants
bowled over the Chicago Bears, It was
one big surprise alter another In
every major branch ox athletic com
petition. Olant Debacle a Shock
BUiest of all "upsets." apparently
was the football triumph of Yale's
"Iron Msn" over previously unbeaten
and heavily favored Princeton, but
the experts had a difficult time
choosing between this stunning
achievement and the collapse of the
New York Olenta In baseball or the
consequent rush of the St. Louis Car
dinals to the year's major lesgue
heights.
Arriving at a decision on "points."
based upon the luting of first, sec
ond and third chloce of surprise
packages, Yale's victory tops the list
with 126 points, one more than the
combined National league and world
league series conquests of the Cardi
nals, already proclaimed the year's
outstanding team. The downiau or
the Olanta ranks third, with M
points
Football's biggest upset, the over
throw of the Bears by the Olants for
ths national profeaslonal title, was
closely pressed by Columbla'a Rose
Bowl victory. Michigan's gridiron col
daps ws vlsw a niu5 startling than
the decline of Southern California's
fortunes. Nsvada's defeet of St.
Mary's was a major gridiron shock to
the tar west.
Baer Provides Upset
The biggest upset of the flstle year,
of course, was Max Beer's spectacular
knockout of Prlmo camera for the
world heavyweight championship.

SONS WILL PLAY
ASHLAND, Oec. 31. (Spt.) One of
the strongest Independent teams la
Oregon will be seen-' tn action here
Saturday night when the Irish Cash
Stores club of Eugene tangles with
Howard Hobson's Southern Oregon
Norman SONS In the final game for
the Hobsonltea before the two-game
series with the University of Oregon
Christmas eve and Christmas night.
Boasting a great array of former
University of Oregon talent, the Irish
will undoubtedly prove one of the
toughest hurdles the SONS will face
all year. Two former captains of
Billy Rlnehart's Webfoota lead the
Invaders. Jean Eberhart, tall center,
and Windsor Calkins, flashy guard,
head the very experienced crew which
also Includes Jim Watts, Oregon; Bill
Purdy from Long Beach Junior col
lege, and Max Rubensteln, the long
shot artist.
Most of the above mentioned were
members of the state championship
De Neffe team of last year and will
probably prove to be a vcery large
handful of basketball players.
The game will start at 9:15 to en
able business men to see the battle.
