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.

Fans Were Right
PIERRE, 8. D., Dec. 17. UP)
The baseball fans who yelled "You
blind robber" at the umpire In
a game recently played In South
Dakota, probably were right Insofar
as the official's eyesight was con
cerned. The umpire was an Indian who
was receiving aid for the neey
blind" from the state social secur
ity department.

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.
Ray Alnaley'a feat of islng up 10
strokes on one hole In the U. S.
open golf championship at Cherry
Hills. 1

nnd elusive as a 10-ton truck, steal
