BEAVERS' RECORD BOWLING I0NAL IS Durham Duel Will Be 20th Out of Bounds 10 Won, 8 Lost, 1 Tied So Far. Freshmen Will Play On Varsity Elevens Is 1942 Prediction Los Angeles, Dec. 18. (IP) Prof. John Olmsted of U.C.L.A., president of the Pacific coast conference, predicts that fresh men will be playing on varsity squads In the far west beginning next fall. He said the matter would be taken up at the June meeting of the conference. It was men tioned at the recent Palm Springs confab. During the first world war freshmen were allowed to play on varsity teams," he recalled. With many of the older col lege men being called into the service it looks as if the same procedure will be followed for 1842." He expects the freshman par ticipation to be discussed at the National Collegiate Athletic as sociation meeting in Detroit De cember 30 and 31. He will attend. TURNS OUT 40.000 Fort Sill, Okla.

Too UM to Claaalry 12:S0 P By Fred Hampson Corvallis, Ore., Dec. 18. (.IP) Oregon State; which entrains tomorrow for North Carolina to play Duke on New Year's day in the transplanted Rose bowl game, has behind it a tradition for being only so-so in Intersec- tional football. The Durham duel with Duke will be the 20th intersectlonal engagement since OSC went in for football. Of the previous 19 none has been in the Rose bowl the Beavers won 10, lost eight and tied one. Two victories were against opponents hardly of major foot ball status, the Hawaiian all' stars and the University of Ha wail, beaten during an island voyage In 1939. Nebraska Tough The Beaver record would be a lot better If Coach Lon Stiner had side-stepped a trio of games with the University of Nebras ka, his alma mater, in 1933-35- 36. The Huskers whipped OSC 22-0, 26-20 and 32-14. Long be fore Stiner ever thought of coaching at Oregon State, Neb raska took a couple of falls out of the Beavers, 17-7 in 1917 and 14-0 in 1924. Disregarding Nebraska, the western Rose bowlers look pret ty good intersectionally. Cer tainly the school has a record for upsettlr.g eastern favorites. OSC skyrocketed Pacific coast grid stock in 1933 by winning a stunning decision, 9-6. over a powerful Fordham team that was being nominated for na tional honors. That game came after OSC had held the long unbeaten Southern California Trojans to a scoreless tie using only 11 men. The team was hailed as the giant-killer of the year but a week after the Ford ham game It stopped off at Lin coln to play Nebraska. That ended the glory. Unbeaten Duke s January 1 rival began playing intersec tionally In 1913. The Oregon Aggies (the nam was changed to Oregon State in the late 1920s) of that vintage knocked over the Michigan Aggies 20-0 at Lansing. Later In the same year Syracuse came to Portland and won 28-0. Among Oregon State's best In tersectional showings: 20-0 vic tory over Marquette in 1926, 25-13 win over New York uni versity in 1928 and a 14-7 win over Detroit university In 1929.

Betty Newell, Little Housewife Who Won National Golf Diadem, Rated Woman Athlete of Year TURKEY SHOOT AT CENTRAL PT. CLUB By Harold Clausen New York, Dec. '18. P) Betty Hicks Newell, the 105 pound housewife from Long Beach, Cal., who came east to win the national golf title in her first trial, is the woman athlete of the year. The 10-year-old , shotmaker. who already has turned pro and given up all chance of retaining the crown, was placed first by 24 of the 66 sports editors who competed in the Associated Press' annual poll. Her 101 points, compiled by giving her three for each first place ballot, two for second and one for third, shot her far ahead of another bride, Mrs. Elwood Cooke, whose tennis campaign ing brought her 69 points. The . former Sarah Palfrey Fabyan was ranked the United States No. 1 woman racquet wielder earlier in the week. Mrs. Newell replaces Alice Marble, professional tennis queen, at the head of the list. Miss Marble, leader in both 1939 and 1940, was inactive much of the time since early spring and she slumped to fifth place with 38 points, in con trast to the 216 of a year ago. Third and fourth places went to a pair of young beauteous swimmers, Nancy Merki nosing out Gloria Callen, 46 to 43. Others in the top nine were Patty Berg, golfing professional; Helen Crlenkovich, swimming; and Mrs. Babe Didrikson-Zahar-ias and Betty Jameson, golf. For the first time in recent years Sonja Henie Topping, darling of the figure skaters and movies, failed to draw a re sponse from any of the sports critics. One of the voters. Urban Muenz of the Jamestown, N. D., Sun, gave one vote for Marion Miley, "who always went down fighting, be it in golf or other wise." Miss Miley, one of the nation's better golfers, was slain as she and her mother surprised robbers in their clubhouse home at Lexington, Ky., late in Sep tember. Unless a change In defense plans dictates otherwise, the Central Point Sportsmen's club will hold a turkey and mer chandise shoot at 10 a. m. Sun day, rain or shine, at its traps just north of Central Point. The management said there would be plenty of turkeys, bacon and other commodities. The public is invited to attend. This will probably be the last shoot on the Central Point grounds as the club intends to consolidate its activities with these of the Medford Gun club at the latter's new range on the Crater Lake highway, the man agement said. Activities of the Central Point club will be somewhat curtailed during the war emer gency but the club "will posi tively be kept alive so that we can take up our unfinished work of conservation when the time comes," said the manage ment. "Until such time, the club puts its whole facilities at the disposal of the Jackson County Council of Defense. Cigarette Tax Foes Failed to Tell Cost Salem, Dec. 18. (IP) Attor ney General I. H. Van Winkle held yesterday that referendum petitions against the two-cent per package cigarette tax, pass ed by the 1941 legislature, were insufficient because the State Retail Grocers' association, spon sors of the referendum move ment, failed to detail its expend itures in its campaign against the tax. If Secretary of State Earl Snell accepts the ruling, the tax would become effective. How ever, a court fight is expected. Prospect Prospect, Dec. 19.
