Billy Hnlra sayi:
Caples, Bowman
Cut From Oregon
Scholarship List
. The sports grapevine reports
that Bill Caples and Jack Bow
man, ex-Tiger grldders who
were members of the University
of .Oregon frosh squad this sea
ion, have been cut from the
athletic scholarship list . . .
Caples, a blocking back, didn't
see any action for John War
ren's aggregation, while Bow
man played only In one game,
the last Washington Babe tilt. . .
Explanation of their being
chopped off the Oregon "pay
roll" isn't any too clear, but it
la believed that Webfoot offi
cials simply figured neither
player was quite good enougn
for varsity football . . . Bowman,
besides being a lightning-fast
left halfback, is also a fine track
man, a hurdler, and the word of
his, and Caples', elimination
from the ranks of athletes being
helped through school comes as
a distinct surprise . . .
Caples and Bowman played
for the 1938 Black Tornado
and both were considered pro
mising college prospects . i .
this writer, among many local
parsons, figured both were
cinches to make good at the
Eugene institution, but appar
ently we were wrong ... of
course, if they stay In school
and turn out for varsity ball
' it is Just possible they may
. yet cut the mustard, but the
odds are overwhelming
against It . . . when you are
sliced from the scholarship
list your swan song is sung to
the last chorus . . .
Our pardon to St. Mary's high
of Medford for recently calling
.Butte Falls the defending Jack
son county class B basketball
champions ... to keep the rec
ord straight, the Crusaders won
the title and Butte Falls copped
the district 14 tourney In Ash
land and jaunted to the state
tournament ... the race tms
year, in league 1, looks to be
among Butte Falls, St. Mary's
and Talent, and in league 3 be
tween Jacksonville and Central
Point . . . several other clubs
may step in, though, and pro
vide white hot competition . . .
The linotype operators will
probably toss this right back in
our face, but just in case they
don't here is an All-American
team to end all such animals,
and try to pronounce the names:
left end, Yudikaltls, Fordham;
left tackle, Occhiello, Brown;
left guard, Buechianicre, Indi
ana; center, Ludwlnowlesci,
Connecticut; right guards, Sa
basteanski, B o w d o i n; right
tackle, Yauckoes, Boston col
lege; right end, Domaszewskl,
Springfield; quarterback, Matu
szevzak, Cornell; left halfback,
Trlandofilou, Rutgers; right
halfback, Chlzmadia, Penn
State; fullfack, Yushkowskl,
Georgetown . . .
Another "white hope" got his
bubble busted Friday night
when old Steve Dudas, who has
taken so many lickings he isn't
right smart, grabbed an eight
round decision from Patrick
Edward Comiskey, a 19-year-old
sensation who had won 22 of his
last 24 fights by KO's . . . Dudas
punched Comiskey silly, and
thus another Joe Louts challen
gcr" fell by the wayside . .
the more we hear of these other
heavyweights the more certain
we become that Marse Joe will
till be champion in 1998 .
Sidney Wooderson, English
man who holds the world's
record for the mile run. is a
member of the London auxili
ary fire service, one of Great
Britain's air raid units . , .
Junior Golding, a halfback
for the Eufaula. (Okla.) high
school team, scored 224 points
this season. 71 of them in one
game . . . Don Moytr, end on
the Medford high football
team this year, is playing a
regular guard position for
Grants Pats high's basketball
quintet . Moyer transferred
io the Cavemen school whan
his parents moved there .
Only five football teams in
modern history have matched
Tennessee's perfect record of
not being beaten, tied or scored
on during a season . . . the other
teams were Texas A. and M. in
1917 and 1919, Colgate In 1932.
DePauw of Indiana in 1933 and
Duke last year, although the lot
ter's perfect record was marred
by a S to 7 loss to USC on Janu
ary 1 of this year . . . prooably
the most famous of the unscored
on clubs was Fielding 11. Yost s
point-a-minute Michigan aggre
gation of 1901, which tallied
SSO points in 11 shutout wins
. . . In 1888 Yale scored 612
points in 13 blankings . . .
Team Battle Tops Last
CHICK.
MEET HON
AND PAULBOZELL
Gladys Nolan in Rematch
With Clara Mortensen
Rogers, Mortensen Open.
It's Bobby Chick and King
Kong Clayton teaming against
Sgt. Bob Kenaston and Paul
Bozell in a gigantic cleanie ver
sus meanie tandem battle to
night in the armory as Promo
ter Mack Llllard presents the
last wrestling program of 1930.
The four grapplers will go for
an hour or until one team ob
tains four falls.
In the special seml-wlndup,
Miss Gladys Nolan of Kansas
City,' a blonde tigress and a
pretty one, gets a second chance
to defeat Miss Clara Mortensen,
world's woman lightweight
champion. The two gals will
scrap for 43 minutes or the best
two out of three falls.
Opening the program will be
Eddie Rogers, master of leg
maneuvering, versus Leo Mor
tensen, brother of Clara and a
fine straight matman. This bout
will start at 8 o'clock sharp.
Fireworks Expected
The team match, first to be
staged here in many months,
is expected to produce a large
quantity of spectacular mat py
rotechnics. The two legitimate
gents, Chick and Clayton, be
lieve they can whip the two vil
lains, Kenaston and Bozell, by
scientific measures, but If they
find such Is impossible they
plan to break out their own
brand of dirt. It is the general
opinion among local mat ob
servers that the former pair will
be forced to forget their clean
tactics in order to stay in the
ring with' the two bad boys.
The Mortensen-Nolan rematch
has created a tremendous
amount of Interest among wres
tle patrons, especially the fem
inine fans. Last week Miss Nolan
came within a whisper of de
feating the champion and prob
ably would have done so had it
not been that Miss Mortensen
turned unscientific in the clos
ing minutes of the match and
tossed foul punches with wild
abandon. This time the Kansas
City miss plans to get in the
first wallops.
Strictly legitimate Is the
theme for the opener, between
Leo Mortensen and Eddie Rog
ers, for both boys are clean as
a whistle and care nothing about
the brutal aspects of the game.

OF
(continued irura page one)
wood Hale Broun, born of
Broun's first marriage to the
late Ruth Hale, newspaper wom
an and feminist.
Broun joined the Roman
Catholic church last summer.
His wife was at his bedside
when he died.
Broun's family moved to Man
hattan when he was a child and
he spent his boyhood In the
brownstohe-front section west
of Central Park. His father.
Heywood Cox Broun, founder
of a printing business, was well-to-do
and Broun himself in later
years was listed in the New
York Social Register. .
Also Wrote Books
He wrote books 'The Boy
Grew Older," "Gandle-Follows
His Nose," "The Sun Field," and
with Margaret Leech a biogra
phy of Anthony Corns tock. His
newspaper pieces were also pub
lished in book form.
But his aims, for all whimsy
and self-kidding, were deadly
serious. In the first years of the
depression he ran a "Give a Job
Till June" campaign and found
jobs for 1,500 persons. In 1931
he1 produced a cooperative re
view, "Shoots the Works," to
help unemployed actors. He was
master of ceremonies. Once
when a reporter went to inter
view him during the show'-s run
Broun pressed the man into ser
vice as a tap dancer.
In the years since 1933 when
he helped organize the News
paper Guild he had joined the
picket lines in a score or moie
of cities.
Mayor La Guardia, informed
of his death, said: "I have lost a
close personal friend. He was a
clear thinker and a courageous
writer, a rare combination in
these days."
Governor Herbert H. Lehman
said: "His death is a great loss,
not only to journalism, but to
the public as a whole.

Richmond, Va. (fP) Morton
Adelanski, a deaf-mute newsboy,

when "his story" appeared in
print. Adelanski startled the
paper's employes, recently,
when he rushed in gesturing
wildly, pointing across the street
making motions of filling his
pockets, and pointing to a tele
phone. The idea went over. Po-
ice were called and the paper
got a first hand account as of
ficers nabbed persons robbing a

The major college hoop squads
don't seem to give a whoop
about playing the home folks
this week.
In a program that boasts some
75 headline clashes, the inter
sectional aspect is the Import
ant one.
Oregon Loses Thriller
Metropolitan basketball writ
ers still are trying to find ad
jectives to describe the thrills
of the first Madison Square
Garden doubleheader in which
Long. Island. University ran. up
its 40th straight in an overtime,
58-35 spell-binder over Oregon,
and the Oklahoma Aggies
showed a world of precision-
built power in overwhelming C.
C. N. Y., 38-24.
The double-header feature,
catching on like wind-blown
wildfire, plays an important role
In the east's program during the
week.
Tonight at Philadelphia, the
Oklahoma Aggies and Oregon
play LaSalle and Temple re
spectively. Tuesday Oregon plays Balti
more U., and the Oklahoma Ag
gies tangle with Duke.
Coast Teams Go East
The far western teams are
moving all over the landscape.
Oregon, disappointed by its loss
in the Garden, will wend
homeward by way of Detroit
and LaFayette to meet Wayne
and Purdue after the Baltimore
and Philadelphia stop-overs.
Washington State opens at
Purdue Thursday and plays
Bradley at Peoria the next day.
The University of Southern Cali
fornia, bound ultimately for a
Garden appearance, has dates
with Purdue and Notre Dame,
the latter on Friday night, the
same night as the meeting be
tween Michigan State and Cali

French tourist authorities who
are trying to get the restrictions
lightened, they hope for some
thing of a season despite the
war.

Vander Meer, Northwestern
Gridders Top Sports Flops
By Sid Feder
New York, Dec. 18. (Ph-The most resounding "flop"- In
1939 sports, the country's sports editors decided today, was a
toss-up between the collapse of Johnny Vander Meer's double
no hit pitching arm and the gridiron woes of Northwestern's
Wildcats. .
Voting in the Associated!
Press' ninth annual poll of the
year's biggest disappointment,
the experts came up with a
point tie In trying to discover
which took the biggest nose
dive. Vander Meer was voted
the No. i upset on 11 of the 74
ballots and Northwestern drew
the top spot on nine, but oh a
point basis three for a first
place selection, two for second
and one for third they were
deadlocked at 37 points.
Vander Meer, after shattering
all pitching records In 1938 with
two straight no-run, no-hit per
formances as a rookie with the
Cincinnati Reds and winding up
with 15 freshman victories, ran
into a combination of the sopho
more jinx and an assortment of
ailments this year. He finished
the season with only five vic
tories and nine setbacks and
tossed only eight complete
games.
Northwestern's well - publi
cized Bill de Correvont and
company were hailed as a sure
fire hit in Big Ten circles, with
championship possibilities. Yet,
the Wildcats turned out to be
wild only at the dinner table,
won only three of eight games
and were blanked In four.
Third on the list of disap
pointments came the Cincinnati
Reds and their sorry, world se
ries showing.
As a sport, baseball had 14
