Matty Mathews, Portland U.

Oregon Stat to win their Sat
urday contests with California
and Oregon, respectively . . .
here's what Matty says of the
two: "A traditional Impossible

ovic factors should give Stan
ford a win" . . . and, "All the
chips down. Oregon Stat hasn't

Amateur Tennis Now With
out a Defending Champ
Team With Perry, Budge.
New York, Nov. 27 (JP)
Two amateur tennis thrones of
the United States stood empty
today after the BDdication of
both the outdoor and Indoor
rulers to search for the gold that
lies In the trail of the touring
professionals.
National Outdoor Champion
Bobby Riggs and Frank Kovacs,
the court Jester who wore the
Indoor crown, switched from
amateurs to pros less than 24
hours after Kovacs was suspend
ed on charge of trying to mix
the two.
Now the United States Lawn
Tennis association, which ac
cused Kovacs of having more
than one tennis racket, faces
1942 with the problem of stag
ing both Its major amateur tour
naments without a defending
champion in the men's division.
U.S.L.T.A. Won't Talk
No on could be found among
th officials of tha U.S.L.T.A.
who wanted to discuss the situa
tion today, but Riggs and Ko
vacs had their say from oppo
site sides of the country.
Riggs, who signed his profes
sional contract here, was asked
what he thought the reaction of
th U.S.L.T.A. would be. 'They
probably will feel that it's a
good riddance," said Riggs,
"they're getting rid of a couple
of headaches."
At his home in Oakland, Cel.,
Kovacs predicted that amateur
tennis would be "all washed
up," and added, "without me,
they won't have any gat attrac
tion." "I was sick and tired of tak
ing orders from the brass hats,"
said Frank, never one to, be
bashful. "They'll have to get off
the gravy train now." Actually,
Kovacs said, he came out $2.33
in the hole on his expenses this
year.
Kovacs and Riggs signed con
tracts with Alexis Thompson,
owner of tha Philadelphia pro
fessional football club, for a
series of matches with Fred
Perry and Don Budge, who
Joined the pro ranks several
years ago.

PHILS NAME AGED
S LOBERT TO
REPLACE PROTHRO
By Judson Bailey
New York. Nov. 27. OF)
Within day of each other a
24-year-old youngster and a 60-year-old
veteran have been
made managers of major league
baseball clubs proving that
whatever other qualifications
may be necessary, age Is no
factor.
The Phillies picked genial old
John Bernard (Hans) Lobert
yesterday to run their ball club
less than 24 hours after the
Cleveland Indians named Lou
Boudreau, who was not bom
until 14 years after Lobert made
his major league debut with
Pittsburgh.
The selection of Lobert was
no surprise to anyone because
he ran the National league's
rear guard for a few weeks last
season while Doc Prothro was
out beating the bushes for tal
ent and during those weeks the
Phillies played their best ball.
Lobert, who resembles the
immortal Hans Wagner in build
and who received his nickname
because ha tried to p'.ay like
Wagner when he broke In with
the Pirates In 1903, will be sec
ond only to 79-year-old Connie
Mack In age among the man
agers. Hia contract Is for one
year.
Memphis, Tenn., Nov 27.
P) J a m e Thompson (Doe)
Prothro is back In Memphis as
manager of the Chicks' South
ern association baseball club
apparently to stay.
The 48-year-old former man
ager of the Philadelphia Phillies
announced last night that he
had acquired a financial inter
est in the club and would be
vice president.
"I'm leaving the Philadelphia
club with all good wishes to
Gerry Nugent," said Prothro,
who succeeds J. Harry (Truck)
Hannah at the helm of the
Chicks.
Ex-Pelican Stars As
Fliers, Tip San Jose
San Jose, Cal., Nov. 27. (JP)
Moffett field's army football
eleven scored as many points
in the first period as San Jose
State could gather altogether,
and so defeated the Spartans,
22-13, last night to give Coach
Ken Winkelman a victory over
himself.
The genial Arkansan directs
both teams.
Halfbacks Walt Salsbury, for
merly of Klamath Falls, and
Larry Vonesh contributed the
army's opening touchdown, the
first on a 50-yard break off
tackle, the second cn a line
plunge from four yards out.
During the siege of Boston,
the American army used the
Harvard buildings as barracks
and the college moved to Con
cord, returning to Cambridge
June 21, 1776.

Game" as Navy Places Bets
By Dav

game on th Army.
Each year midshipman cadet
regiments wager bathrobes,
sweaters, cuff links and even
full dress uniforms on the out
come of the Army-Navy pigskin
feud. And Saturday'! Philadel
phia classic Is no exception.
Tradition dictates an even bet,
regardless of the strength of
either football clan. Navy is fa
vored to take the colorful 42nd
service clash and the middies
claim that Is why they're having
difficulty getting the bets cov
ered. So they're using the old army
game. To get wageri accepted,
the sailors are telling the West
Pointers to "put up or shut up."
And you don't know your cadets
if you think they won't take a
dare.
That's exactly how the mid
dies figure the graylegs will re
act. The middies have don a
good job of accumulating army'a
gray bathrobes and black sweat
ers, with Navy gaining 10-0 and
14-0 victories the past two years.
The entire regiment of more
than 3,000 blue-uniformed mid
shipmen will witness the game,
parading in Philadelphia munic
ipal stadium at 12:15 p. m. be
hind a 75-plece band. The gray
clad cadet regiments of approxi
mately 1800 will follow.
Navy's 41 gridders will be
given a rousing send-off by the
regiment at 6:30 tonight when
they entrain for Manufacturer's
Country club, near Philadelphia.
They will work out at the Tem
ple university stadium tomor

Corvallls, Ore., Nov. 27. (JP)
Bob Dethman, Oregon State's
pass-throwing left halfback, will
captain the Beavers Saturday as
they attempt to put the clincher
on the Rose bowl against th
University of Oregon at Eugene.
Light exercise was on the
card for today, yesterday's stiff
scrimmage ending the body con
tact drill for th game.
The squad appeared to be
nearing top strength with quar
terback George Peters out of
the hospital where he had been
for short time, and Coach Lon
Stiner Indicated that his regu
lars would be in the line-up at
the opening whistle.
Eugene, Ore., Nov. 27. (JP)
Special braces for half a
dozen University of Oregon
football cripples were being

Hayward, veteran trainer, as
Saturday' civil war game with
Oregon State neared.
. Injuries have played havoc
with the line. Coach Tex Oliver
said, but the backfield Is ex
pected to be at full strength.
