Mountaineer Gridiron Hero
Wins Fur-Lined iese Guard
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK, Dec. 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.
