Content for tho txansfar, Locay aaid, waa obtalnad from tho Pacific Coait confaranco nd tho Tournamant of Roses. San Tranciaco. Dec. 13. (AP) The west's famoui new year a football classics tho Rose Bowl nd the East-West games hunt ed temporary new homes today as war refugees. Military expediency demand ad blackout of the games. The army waa firm. Sponsors agreed to cooperate fully and cancelled ail local arrangement. Then, as Pasadena and San Francisco kissed dreams of thousands of tourist dollars good bye, official! went to work to find other quarters for the or phaned sports spectacles. Offara Solicited Where the games might be taken was anybody's guess. Percy Locey, director of ath letics at Oregon State College, the West's Rose Bowl representa tive, said he was "receptive to offers" of a place to hold the game, a feature of tha annual Pasadena Tournament of Roses. And he got them. Officials of Duke University, Oregon State's choice to represent the east, sug gested that the game be played at Duka Stadium, at Durham, N. C, "with Rose Bowl sanction or otherwise." Chicago, New York, and Kansas City were mentioned as other possible sites. There appeared to ba plenty of takers for the East-West game, too. Atlanta, Chicago, Spokane, and Norman, Okla., home of the University of Oklahoma, all were reported to have been In touch with East-West representatives. A decision on the East-West en counter, an annual benefit for the Shriners' Crippled Children's hospital here, was expected to day. Heavy Loss Seen The financial loss incurred could only be estimated. Based on last year'a figure, Duke would have received about 1100.000 from tho Tournament of Roses association. Oregon State would have taken $57,000 and nine other Pacific Coast conference members would have received $7,300 each. The association, owner of the Rose Bowl, would have netted $71,000. The asso ciation still owes $40,000 on the bowl. Sixty thousand tickets have been sold to the Rose Bowl game for approximately $264,000. The money will be refunded by indi vidual check. Oregon State, which already has spent about $20,000 for promotion and other preliminary work, will foot the stamp bill. There was no one to say what division of revenue will be made ahould the game be played else where. Tickets to 90 per cent of the 60,000 seats in Kezar Stadium, alte o( the East-West game, have been sold. Purchasers will be re imbursed in full. A reserve fund built up over the 18 years the game has been pl-ycd will as sure the crippled children's hos pital against curtailment of ser vice for lack of finances. Shriners' officials said approxi mately $20,000 already had been spent for promotion and equip ment. This, too, will ba paid out of reserves. In Chicago. Andy Kerr of Col gate, coach of the eastern stars, aaid It waa unlikely that the East-West game would be staged In Chicago's Soldier Field be cause of the normal January weather conditions.

W) The schedule makers of the National Football league disappointed fol lowers of the New York Giants in not pitting their favorite team against the Champion Chicago Bears, but everything is all right now. i Tha league's representatives in the nation's two largest cities finished tha season's play by winning their respective division titles, automatically placing them as finalists for the championship encounter. The title game will be played next Sunday in Chi cago's Wrlgley field. Tha Giants knew they were one of the finalists a couple of weeks ago but the Bears only yesterday captured the western section honors by humbling the Green Bay Packers, 33 to 14, in a playoff. The Giants were among the 43,325 fans at yesterday's third Bear-Packer clash. They learned what some of the league's other clubs discovered by tha trial and error method this year that the Bears often are vulnerable, some times for 10 minutes, sometimes fot one or even two periods, and once this season for the whole SO minutes (the Packers beat them, 18-14. on November 2). Yesterday the Bears were open to attack for a full 15 minutes, during which time the Packers slipped over a surprise touchdown.

IS. (VP) Big-time golf's great stretch-runner, Byron Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, sprinjed ahead of Ben Hogan to win first money, In the $10,006 Miami open, but the little Hershey, Pa., star's second place sewed up for him two of the year's most coveted honors. Even though he took a 72 and blew his three-day lead, Hogan gathered in a $1,230 check that sent his year's tournament win nings to $17,333 more money than any other pro can win this year. He also received 30 points to ward the Vardon trophy the pro's emblem of year-around tournament excellence to run his total to a new record of 524. With only two P. G. A. -sponsored tournaments left, the sec ond place golfer, Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va., did not retain even a mathematical chance of overtaking Hogan. Nelson burned up the fairways on the last nine and wound up with a brilliant 69 for a 72-hole total of 269, five strokes better than Hogan and six ahead of Slammln' Sammy.

Young, Inexpensive Coach May Gel Call To Succeed Phelan Seattle, Dec. IS. .(VP) The Post-Intelligencer said today that despite the clamor for a "big name" coach, University of Washington officials may pick a man from the northwest as suc cessor to Football Coach Jimmy Phelan. Athletic Director Ray Eck- mann somewhat unexpectedly terminated the services of Phelan and his two assistants, Chester (Cotton) Wilcox and Ralph (Pest) Welch Saturday. Tha paper said an authorita tive source told it that: 'The war is almost certain to place mark ed restrictions on football until the emergency is over. The sub sidy is bound to be reduced. With that thought in mind, the logical move would appear to be to obtain the services of a young fellow just commencing his coaching career. "There would be no big sal ary demands. Under restricted conditions such a coach would have an opportunity to prove his ability and grow up with the in stitution." Blackoul Headlights Blamed in Collision AI Main and Ivy Sis. First collision of cars attrib uted to blackout lights was on record at city police station to day. Kenneth Ballweg, 28, 1207 East Main street, and Norman Burreson, 23, Gold Hill, operated the cars that collided late Sat urday night, at West Main and Ivy streets, according to the re port. Ballweg, driving east on Main, reported he had his head lights "painted to meet blackout requirements," and Burreson, driving north on Ivy, said he did not see the car, the report showed. State police last week pointed out that it is Illegal to drive a car with blacked-out headlights outside of blackout perioda and that only emergency or other of ficial cars are permitted to oper ate during blackouts. The po lice said vehicles which must be on streets and highways both during and outside blackout pe riods may use two spotlights out side the periods and the regula tion blacked-out lights during blackouts. Regulations regarding traffic during precautionary blackouts were published in the Mail Trlb- "c ' ' rriaay ana local police '.d "otoi-ti to clip the r,lcIe out nd rules.

Y WORKER CABLES WON DEC. 13 Additional residents here re ceived word today of the safety of relatives on islands in the Pacific war area. Mrs. Harold Looper, 4 IS West Second street, received a cable gram dated December 11 saying that her husband, who is em ployed on Midway island, was all right. The terse message said: "OK. Love." Th. island has been under Japanese pres sure since the outbreak of war December 7. Mrs. Lewis Thompson, clerk in justice of the peace court, also received a brief cablegram this morning from her husband. Sent from Midway island yes terday, the message read: 'OK. Love." Mrs. Thompson said It was her understanding similarly cheer ing word was received by local relatives of other defense work ers on the Pacific isle. Justice of the Peace W. R. Coleman Saturday received a letter from his son, Russell, a resident of Honolulu tor many years, written a day or so after the Japanese attack. The air raid came as a com plete surprise, while most of the mid-Pacific city was sleeping late on Sunday, he wrote, adding the bomb explosions were at first mistaken for target prac tice. The population was in a dazed and nervous condition for a day following, the letter said. Americans were urged to flu the sea with ships and the sir with planes to conquer the foe.
