B.-nP) Upon sober reflection, the Associated Press has decided to make Its annual award of a fur-lined nose guard for the season's "oddest" gridiron performance to a nameless but spirited mem ber of the West Virginia university backfleld. There were plenty of others that rated high, and for a time It looked like Referee John Oetchell, who got seriously mixed up In the Notre Dame-Carnegie Tech game, mlht fore our mountaineer hero to a photo finish for the prized trophy. But there was a dream-like quality to the tableau at Morgan town that finally swayed the Judges. - The nomination was made by mem bers of the Michigan State team, who, like all the others, were asked to name their goofiest memory of the dying campaign. They told it thus, dazedly: "When a West Virginia backfleld player In our game at Morgantown apparently overheard a derogatory remark from the stands, he raced off the field during play, dashed Into the stands in search of his critic, awatted him, took a poke at a policeman on his way back, and continued ploy without remark." Oetchell, the runner-up, will, of course, be remembered as the luck less arbiter who told the Carnegie Tech quarterback It was third down, when It was, in fact, fourth down. Notre Dame promptly took over the ball and scored the touchdown that deprived the Tartans of an unde feated season. Oetchell at least qual ified hands-down as the season's "goat." Another official figured In a divert ing Incident In the game between William & Mary and Richmond uni versity. There was a pony mixed up In it. too. The pony, William & Mary's mascot, trotted onto the fir-Id during play, and the referee slapped a 15-yard penalty on W. & M. It was a nasty situation until Capt. A. B. Marchant of Richmond declined the penalty. Among the coaches, Jimmy Phelan of Washington rated high in the bal loting after his mental lapse In the final game with . Washington State. He rushed In all of his seniors for the closing mlnut of play, and dis covered too late that he had Bob Purdue. 157-pound quarterback, play ing guard. Purdue played a very good guard while It lasted.
