NEW YORK, Dee. 17. (AP) Over coming their difference In height with a great exhibition of guarding. City College's diminutive basketball team staved off a last half rally to defeat the favored University of Ore gon five tonight, 38 to 36. More than 18.000 fan crowded Madison Square Garden for the city's first doubleheader of the season. Northwestern met St. John's In the other gnme. Completely bottling up th Oregon attack In the first half with a style of defense that refused to let the westerns get set, the New Yorkers built up a half-time margin of 19 to 14. The Wobfoota never scored field goal In the first 16 minute, but kept In the running with eight shots out of ten free throws, After getting three field goals near the end of the first half Oregon en mo back strong In the second period and tied the count at 30 all with nine minutes to play. Yet the Beavers re fused to be downed and Al Souplos and Babe Adler provided a small lead to which they clung tenaciously. Bob Anet of the visitors was high acorer with ssven foul shots and three field goals for a total or 13 points, one more than Dave Slperetcln of City College, who wan forced out of the game 14 minutes before the ffn lsh because of personal fouls.

Central Vander Meef Two No-Hit Games in Row Voted Second in Year's Sports NKW YORK, Dec. 17. ( AP) It Is late In the afternoon of Saturday, October 33. Carnegie Tech's football team Is playing Notre Dame and, In the fourth period, the score Is 0-0 It Is Carnegie's ball, near mld-fleld, and aa the Ski bos move Into their huddle Quarterback Paul Frledlander turns to Referee John Oetchell, aska: "What down Is It?" "Third down." says Oetchell. Frledlander calls for a running play; It fall short of first down and, aa the players come out of the pile- up and Carnegie prepares to line up for a fourth-down punt, Oetchell awards the ball to Notre Dame on downs on Carnegie's 46-yard line, the Irish score the game's only touchdown throe plays later, and the Tartans absorb their lone defeat of the year. That quick mental reverse by Oetchell from third to fourth down was tabbed the season's principal sports oddity by 38 of the 70 con tributing sports editors in the eighth annual Associated Press poll. While few of the critics attempted to rate the "freak Incidents" In the usual 1-2-3 order, and a ranking there fore was Impossible, there was a far greater vote for Getchall's mo mentary lapse than for any other Incident. Second place among the 1938 oddi ties went to the two successive no hit, no-run games pitched by Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Rods. Not far back were the 3-3 football tie between Virginia Tech and Vir ginia Military, the collision of Stan Hack and Billy J urges of the Cubs while chasing an easy Infield roller (It cost the Cubs two runs In the second world aeries game), J. Smith Ferebee's awesome series of golf marathons, and Monty . Stratum's hunting accident that ended so dis astrously with the amputation of the Chicago White Sox pitcher's leg. Out of a mesa of contributions that Included the nomination of "almost any ruling by the New York State Athletic commission," there were other such freakish happen lngs as: Southern California, trailing Wash Ington by 7-fl (the final score) late In their gome, electing to kick rather than try for first down when It was fourth down and only a foot to go. Detroit beating Santa Clara by the extra point, 7-6, the oddity aris ing from the fact that Detroit Coseh Gus Dorals had suggested before the game that it be played without the try for point.
