Billy llulen Says:
OHSAA Full Of
Purists Bent On
Sports Reform
rnnb r.lanelll certainly scrib
bled mouthful In Sunday'! Ore
gontan when he took tome
nice healthy swings at the Tu
Valley claw B basketball loop
for passing a set of resolutions
prohibiting the presentation of
ali-star awards to outstanding
players and opposing the pub
is. m, Ku tha IOranda Evening
Observer of Individual points
made by the cagers during the
basketball season.
Frank remarked: "Which
leaves us to wonder Just what
the poor player is going to get
for his athletic effort a nice pat
on the back for making some
coach's system look good? Or
maybe three cheers and a tiger
from the rooting section, which
promptly will forget his name
the year he graduates."
The Oregonlan sports writer
goes on to say that "there's been
a tremendous effort from various
sources to put the damper on
the glamour of athletics for high
school players as Individuals."
That la true, but thank good
ness It hasn't occurred as yet
In this neck of the brush, and
wilth the nreaent hitfh school ad
ministration it NEVER will, we
are certain.
Like Glanelll, this department
I. .. . aKanlnMlv nn I III ioT thOSA
purists who would de-emphasize
and relorm nign scnooi spuria
to the point where an Individual
gets nothing more tangible for
his prowess than "a four-bit let
ter to wear on his sweater," and
where ..competition.. In ..general
inks to practically the intra
mural level.
Tha Oregon High School
Activities association is packed
full of thasa purists, sicken
Inglr lammed with learned
gentlemen who would lika to
see prep sports reduced to pink
teas, with tha dear little boys
tunning about tha basketball
court or tha gridiron merely
for the fun of It and with all
Intense competition elimi
nated. -
' ' The OHSAA is on record as
apposing any plan or, manner of
4atrnunM( . a siaie sooioau
' championship team. At its win
ter meeting it even condemned
championship. In short, it doesn't
want to hear mentioned that hor
rid word, "championship."
Not all OHSAA representa
tives are of this calibre; there
are many broadmlnded and sane
high school educators who feel
differently. But there are enough
of the former to swing legisla
tion the way they want it, and
until they can be overcoma by
ballot this situation will remain
as is.
We have never had the du
bious pleasure of talking with
on of these purists or reform
ists or whatever you want to call
them, so don't know what their
argument is against red-blooded,
healthy and mentally stimulat
ing competition of the serious
type. But we do know how and
why men like E. H. Hedrick,
city school superintendent and
Leonard B. Mayfleld, high school
principal, feel about the thing.
Their Ideas coincide exactly
with ours. They believe that
competition, and not the "pink
tea" type, Is one of the greatest
assets prevailing for the building
of character and strong bodies
among the country's youth.
. They behave that it is a
basie American characteristic
to find out who is the best in
any line of endeavor, that it is
an Inherent American trait to
match wits and strength for
the highest honors obtainable.
That's why they are complete
ly opposed to the OHSAA a
theory of no championships.
And now, mora than ever,
with this nation approaching a
life or death "competition'1 with
European madmen, they know
tl.at what America's youth needs
Is not a lessening of the spirit of
rivalry, but more of it and still
more.

BIG TEN CHAMPS
TOP TEXAS AGS
Duke Placed Third In Week
ly Poll Oregon State,
17t!i, Highest On Coast
By BUI Boni
New York, Nov. 25
Minnesota's Golden Gophers,
unbeaten and untied and un
beatable, since their season Is
over ride high again today In
first place in tha Associated
Press football ranking poll.
Winners of 17 straight games
and their second successive
western conference champion
ship, Bernie BU-rman's boys
were made first choice by 93
out of 113 sports experts
throughout the country. Six
teen writers ranked the Gophers
second, thiee listed them in
third place and one rated them
fifth, for a total of 1 124 points
out of a possible 1,130.
With one more poll to go,
Minnesota appears a good bet
to retain Its 1940 No. 1 ranking
when the final votes are counted
next week.
The Gophers' only serious
rivals are two more of the
country's four major all-winning
teams Texas A. and M..
which still must protect that
record against Tecas In Thurs
day's climactic Southwest con
ference engagement and against
Washington State December 6.
and Duke, the Southern confer
ence powerhouse which, like
Minnesota, has completed Its
regular schedule.
Irish Fourth
The Aggies, given only two
first-place votes to Dukes 13.
got 41 votes for second and 40
(or third in accumulating 922
points. Duke was omv 10 points
behind in third place. Notre
Dame, unbeaten but tied by
Arm. also retained the fourth
position it was voted a week
ago. Tha Irish got two votes
for first and 778 points, on a
basis of 10 for first, nine for
second, eight for third, etc.
Unbeaten and untied Duques
na moved up a notch to fifth,
changing places with Michigan.
The Wolverines, though tied
with Ohio State In their game
last Saturday and also in the
final Western conference stand
ings, considerably outdistanced
the Buckeyes In the poll, which
gave Ohio State only 71 points
and 15th place.
The rest of the first 10 con
sisted of Missouri, the Big Six
champion, moved up from
eighth; Fordham, back In the
charmed circle on Its walloping
of St. Mary's; Northwestern,
probably the best 1941 football
team that lost three games, and
Texas. Outside of Texas, all of
these except Fordham have fin
ished their seasons. The Rams
play badly battered New York
U. on Saturday.
Mid-West Dominates
While the middle west domi
nates the race with five teams
among the first 10, three major
football circuits are not repre
sented the Southeastern con
ference, which makes Its best
showing with Vanderbllt in 12th
olace; the Paciflo Coast confer
ence. with Oregon State Its
leader In 17th place, and the
east's "Ivy league " with Navy
In 11th place. Each of these
has a chance to Improve Its
standing this Saturday, when
Vanderbilt, beaten only by Tu
lane, meets Tennessee; Oregon
State play Oregon with vie
lory probably meaning a trip

Modest Sooner Quarterback
Finally Forgets Anonymity
Norman, Okla., Nov. 25. AP It took the coach and tha
whole first team to get that sterling character, the modest quar
terback, to run, but when he did the field was full of touchdowns.
The sterling character, Orville I
Mathews, Oklahoma's signal
master mind and fastest on the
hoof in these parts, was threat
ened last week with a splinter
collecting job on the bench un
less he called his own number.
All season he submerged his
own talents in a wave of mod
esty, did lots of blocking and
tackling, and left the headlines
to his mates, although the quar
terback is an Important runner
in the Sooner system.
But Saturday Mathews reeled
off a 58-yard touchdown gallop
down the middle and another 27
yarder to pay dirt at the business
end of a pass against Marquette.
Oklahoma won, 61 to 14.
He caHed himself only four
times on rushing plays but
ground out 85 yards, which is
not bad mileage on any kind of
gasoline. He might have been
running yet but a hip injury
sent him limping off before the
half.
Coach Dewey Luster said to
day that it took more than his
own orders to cure the great
little team player's passion for
anonymity. There was, for in
stance, Tackle Roger Eason, who
abetted the conspiracy.
Eason went around fixing
Mathews with a fishy eye and
growling: "Listen, little man,
call yourself against Marquette
or you'll be callin' for help, and
I ain't kiddin'."
