Hlty nnlea
If an Idea advanced the other day
by Harry Hlnmnn la carried out, the
worrlea of Secretary of State Earl
Snell regarding
the yearly color
scheme of Ore
gon's auto license
plates are at an
end. The Issue
will be put
squarely up
the football
teams of Oregon
State college and
the University of
Oregon: to them
will go the hon
or of deciding,
on the field of
battle, what
combinations of
color will bo used each year to dec
orate the plates.
Harry, advertising mannger of
Mann's department atore and a rabid
sports fan. Rave birth to wh:t seems
like a red hot Idea when he saw the
new 10311 Oregon license plate black
and yellow, close to the Oregon state
college color of hlaek and orange.
Suddenly, the Idea struck him that
the coloring of the plates could be
determined, year after year, by the
stnte'n two major gridiron aggregations.
Hurry's entire plane ) lmp)
lhl: K;ili year, let the rotor or

vice vena, or If Oregon state
'honld win next eiiMn, the into
Keen! would he nrmige with
hlnek numeral, or tlce vrrsti.
Because It has lieen the custom to
clmne the color of the plates each
year, Harry explained that such could
be continued, more or less, hy slmply
changlng the color of the background
and numerals, should Oregon or Ore
gon State win two years In succession,
For Instance, if Oregon State won two
seasons In a row, the platea could be
orange with black numerals one
year and black with orange numerals
the next. In case the two teams
tied, the platea would retain the
coloring determined by the team
which last won, with a shift, of
course, In the background and num
eral hue.
So far as we are concerned, It la a
great Idea. It Is a natural. What
could possibly be a better method of
determining the color of Oregon's
license plates than by letting the two
state Institutions do so through the
medium of their football teams?
Both combinations of colors, yellow
and green, and orange and black are
highly suitable in all respects. How
about it, Mr. Snell, or whoever
chooses the colors? Can you think
or a better method?

It won't be Ions now until college

Both these boys will say goodbye
to Medford high school the coming
spring, and both are definite college
material. So are Montelth and Ver
bclk. ends, for that matter, but their
lack of weight will undoubtedly keep
them out of negotiations with Paci

DEFEAT LOU NOVA
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. (AP) The
moat significant heavyweight fight on
the apathetic Indoor season will go
on in Madison Square Oardcn tonight
between Lou Nova, a promising
youngster from Alameda, Cal.. and
Tommy Purr, a doddering ancient of
24 from Tonybandy. Wales. The prize
is ine aouotful pleasure of fighting
Joe Louis for tha heavy-weight title
sometime next year.
The only obstacle between tonight's
victor and the stiff left Jab of the
chnmplon Is Max Baer. The unpre
dictable one beat Parr last wlntor
and If Tommy wins and gets another
shot at Louis, there will be plentv
of hollering from Baer. But there
has been something less than a uni
versal demand from another Louls
Baer fight.
The bookmakers have made Parr
the favorite and five will get you sev
en If Nova wins.

Carnegie Tech's Victory
Over Pitt Is Mo. t Upset
By Herbert VT. Barker
NEW YORK, Dee. 16. (AP) Csrnegle Tech's football victory over
Pittsburgh waa ranked offldaly aa No. 1 upset of the 1938 sports sea
son by the 70 sports experts participating In the Associated Press eighth
annual poll today, but analysis of the returns reveal that the outcome of
the heated National League pennant race actually was the biggest surprise.

This apparent paradox was brought
about by the fact that the sports
critics who mentioned the National
League race approached It from two
directions. One group suggested that
the Chicago Cubs' fast finish was the
biggest surprise. Another group took
the position that It was the collapse
of the Pittsburgh Pirates which was
most astonishing.
With points awarded on a 3-2-1
basis as each expert made three nom
Inatlona to the "upset" list. Carne
gie Tech's 20-10 triumph over Pitt
was given a total of 53 Vi points to
top the list. Thirty-one points went
to the Cubs for their pennant victory
and 25 to the Pirates for their col
lapse. Combining the Cubs and Pi
rate's points would produce a total of
56 points, a half point more than
was credited to Carnegie Tech.
In the actual tabulation which
ranks Carnegie Tech's feat at the top.
Joe Louis' one-round knockout of
Max Schmcllng was rated as the next
biggest surprise. Then followed the
Cubs' pennant victory: Seabtscult's
victory over War Admiral In their
match race: the Cincinnati Reds' fine
showing In the National League race;
tnc pirates' collapse, and the Chicago
Blackhawks' triumph In the Stanley
cup hockey playoffs.
All told 54 surprises were mention
ed In the bsllottlng, with football
contributing 19 and baseball 12. Box
ing and golf followed with six each.
