PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: . Beavers Display Real Greatness In Oregon Game Oregon Stat will beat Duke In the Rose Bowl. That friends, it the long-range prediction of this department, after watching those fighting Beavers grind out their 12 to 7 triumph over the University of Oregon Saturday in one of the most gruelling battlei the two old rivals ever staged against each other. Duke, of course, hasn't come under our observation this sea son, so it might seem rather foolhardy for us to go on record as progostlcating the Orange will .whip team we haven't even watched in action. Perhaps It Is, but well take that chance. And we wouldn't be surprised If large number of other citizens, who saw the Saturday game, feel the same way about the thing. Oregon State, let it be known, has a FOOTBALL team. If the Beavers lose to the Blue Devils and make us look slllyi well, all we can say Is that Duke will have to bo terrific. This Beaver eleven isn't color ful. It isn't spectacular. There is nothing razzle-dazzle about Its attack. It doesn't toss that ball around with abandon and it has very little deception on the ground, although Durden and Deathman are excellent pitchers and the club employs a nice re verse play with variations. What makes Oregon State so potent la its knock-'em-dead de fense and its almost uncanny ability to capitalize on oppor tunities arising from so-called "breaks." It's a team that plugs long, hitting harder and harder, waiting for the chance to cash in. And when that chance comes the Beavers blast. Oregon State, to us, looked Ilk a team that has what it takes to score when a score means the difference between victory and defeat. It looked to us like "clutch" team, a team that Increases in stature when the pressure is greatest. With the Rose Bowl bid and 140.000 at stake in the fourth quarter, the Beavers simply went to work In a systemllke manner and punched over the touchdown that wiped out a ? to Oregon lead and gave them the marbles. They HAD to do it. and they did. We believe that if Oregon had come back and tallied again, the Beavers would have bounced right back for anoth er touchdown. It was Oregon State's game, and no matter how many times the Ducks scored we believe the Beavers would have bettered the fig ure. That 28-yard winning-touchdown run of Joe Day's in the final period reminded us a lot of Louie Thunnan'a gallop that beat The Dalles, 6 to 0, here last year. Thuimin, remember, caught a pass In the waning mo ments and literally powered his way over the goal line, running smack-dab over two would-be tacklcrs standing in his path. That's Just what Day did to a couple of WeMoots. He broke through the center of the line, shot into the secondary and sim ply bowled over two Duck de fenders. He didn't try to dodge, change pace, or even use straight-arm. He Just shifted into high gear and ran over anything that Impeded his rwrtr to the end cone.' truly gnsa , "140.000 touchdcVYeUop.'' ' -. The Beaver vyl fa a o-3-" 1-1 defense alrodst'all afternoon, arid except for : Curt Mecham's - sensational 58-yard scoring run It completely halted the Oregon running attack. Oregon made 88 net yards from rushing, but sub tract Mecham's S8 yardcr and you have 31 net yards as the total the Ducks were able to produce through that savage de fense. It was equally effective against Oregon air thrusts, the losers completing only three out of 12 pitches. Professor I. Pickem closed his season over the week-end with nine correct calls in 12 attempts, and one of them was a real honey. He picked Ne braska to defeat Oklahoma, V to I. and that's Just what the final score was. Other right picks were The Dalles over . Medford. Oregon State over Oregon. Navy over Army, Washington over U.S.C.. Bos ton College ever Holy Cross, Fordhem over N.Y.U., Pitt over Carnegie, and Rice over Baylor. The professor misted on Cali fornia upsetting Stanford, T.C.U. nosing out S M U. and Louisiana State trouncing Tulane The peerless prognosticate! Conservative Corvallis Wild Over BEAVERS SELECT DUKE AS FOE IN PASADENA CLASH Victory Celebration Still Car ried On Stiner "Tickled" With Selection. By Call Fowler Corvallis, Ore., Dec. 1. AP) This conservative, happy little town of 8,800 people excluding more than 4,000 students car ried on its victory celebration today over the fact that Oregon State college will meet Duke In the Rose Bowl New Year's day. When the whooping and fun making had subsided Saturday night, all the townspeople and students knew was that Oregon State had won the Pacific Coast conference championship by beating Oregon at Eugene, 12-7, and had earned the bowl bid. But they didn't know who O.S.C. was going to play and neither did the handful of school officials who stayed closeted with ears glued to long distance telephone calls, nor the scribes who kept a death watch outside the door. "We've selected the team, but can't announce It until we re ceive acceptance," was the ver dict. At one time or another the rumors swung In favor of Ford ham, Missouri, Duke, Texas and a couple of others. Duke Accepts Then Sunday the officials, after getting replies to their feel ers, learned Fordham and Mis souri had closed for the Sugar Bowl. Later came the accept ance from Duke. The game will match bowl wise Wallace Wade, the Duke coach who will be making his fifth trip to the Rose Bowl, against 38-year-old Lon Stiner, youngest coast conference coach who, like his school, will be mak ing hla first appearance in the Pasadena saucer. Stiner said he was tickled with the Duke selection because "it's the only major team with an un defeated, untied record, and that ought to make a good talking point for me with my boys. They wanted Duke, too." Husky, thin-haired Lon was nervous, excited, happy and worn out all at the same time. He didn't get a chance to relax until last night when he and his wife and the families of his coaching staffs got together and concocted this parody', which just about summarizes the way the town feels: "Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way "Oh, what fun it'll be to ride "In the bowl on New Year's Day." DUKE EXPECTED BID Durham. N. C, Dec. I. (AP) Duke university is something like a kid who had peeked at his Christmas presents in advance. It's tickled pink about going to the Rose Bowl, of course, but well. It was sort of expected. So sure was the squad that It held a secret meeting last week and decided that the Rose Bowl bid would be accepted if it were received. And last night It came a bid to play Oregon Stale. There was a big celebration, nevertheless, when the official announcement was made. It was bigger, celebration than that in 1838, when the student body went oaf. Just about ' j. i .th lor Wad Jlth ftDDunHS in th ie BowL He went there first as a player on the Brawn univer sity eleven In 1018. He took his first team, Alabama,1 there In January, 1926, and It beat the University of Washington, 20-18. The next year another Wade coached eleven tied Stanford 7-7. Mis last Alabama team beat Washington State. 24-0, In 1831. Wade's 1938 Duke team was de feated by Southern California. 7-3, on a last-minute touchdown pais. Duke's 1941 team Is the high est scoring on the university's record. In nine starts the Blue Devils rolled up 311 points. The nearest approach to that was In 1937 when the Devils piled up 228 points. Duke's undefeated, untied rec ord this year is Wake Forest 43 14: Tennessee 19 0; Maryland 50 0; Colgate 27-14: Pittsburgh 27-7; Georgia Tech 14 0; Davidson 58 0; North Carolina 20-0, and N. C.

OSC Lone Defensive Eleven To Play in Various "Bowls" By Harold Claassen New York, Dec. 1. (IP) Touchdown conscious elevens predominate the selections made for the various New Year's Day bowl games with only Oregon State, Rose Bowl host, classed as a defensive unit although Missouri's No. 1 Sugar Bowl line hasn't yielded a touchdown all season. The west coast school needed 20 hours of d'scussion before selecting Duke, unbeaten and powerful enough to collect 311 points In nine games, as Its Jan. 1 guest at Pasadena. The Duke touchdown-collection la record for the Blue Devils. Simultaneous with the Mis souri acceptance, Sugar Bowl officials named Fordham as the Tiger foe In the New Orleans classic. Even before Frankle Sink- wich and his Georgia mates had left the showers Saturday after blanking Georgia Tech, 21 to 0, the Orange Bowl committee In Miami selected the Bulldogs as their southern choice. The equal ly point-crazy Texas Longhorns have been chosen,' unofficially. as the opponent. Texas A. & M.. first southwest conference school to share In three consecutive loop titles, and a 13 to 12 victor In the Dallas Cotton Bowl a year ago, returns there. Unbeaten Duquesne, Mis sissippi State and Penn State are among the possible foes. Halfback Don Durdan Is Ore gon State's chief touchdown de light while Center Quentin Grecnough bulwarks the line against which Steve Lach. the Duke destroyer, will operate. Lach was the fulcrum for the Blue Devil offensive that brought Coach Wallace Wade his sixth unbeaten and untied team, exclusive of post-season contests, since he began coach ing In 1919. It also will be his sixth Rose Bowl visit. Five of those trips have been as a coach and one was as guard of the Brown University eleven in 1818. TAKES PIN LEAD Klamath Falls, Dec. l.iPi P. M.
