Billy Hulen Says:
Eberhart Claims
Rostock Better
Shot Than Hank
Ernie Rostock, a ilender
sharpshooter who does his
bucket-blasting for the Eastern
Oregon College of Education at
LaGrande, is. the current
scourge of the Oregon Intercol
legiate conference. Some bas
betball folks even claim he is
the hotte thing to perform in
either major or minor collegiate
circles since Hank Lulsetti car
ried Stanford to the pinnacle.
' When Rostock doesn't pro
duce 29 points per evening, he
is having an "off" night. Most
of the time his personal point
total hits the 30 level, and often
it goes even higher. The boy,
apparently, is good.
, "I'll say Rostock is good," re
marked Jean Eberhart yester
day. "He's so good we feel we've
stopped him when he's held to
15 points."
: The lanky Southern Oregon
College of Education athletic
director, whose Sons quintet is
leading the Oregon Intercol
legiate conference with 10
straight victories, , actually be
lieves Rostock is a better shot
than Luisetti was.
"Rostock, of course. Is not
the all-around basketball
player Lulsetti was at Stan
ford," Jean explained, "but
when It comes to pure shoot
ing ability I think he has a
better eye.
"Lulsetti was great In every
respect, dribbling, oall-handling.
guarding, and was very, very
tough under the baskets. Ros
tock can't match Luisetti along
those lines, but I really believe
be is a better shot."
Eberhart said the E.O.C.E.
flash does most of his scoring
while racing down the floor at
top feed, casting off with either
hand and from all angles. "Give
him the least little opening and
he's through It like lightning.
Up drifts the ball and It's usual
ly two points."
Although Rostock has proved
a terrific headache for his op
position, he can be pretty
thoroughly shackled. At least
the Sons did It once, on Decem
ber 13 at Ashland. In this game,
won by the Sons, Eagle-Eye
Ernie was held to three field
goals and two free throws for
eight points, by Joe Spayde,
Sons guard. The previous night
Ernie had accumulated 33
markers.
How did Spayde take care of
Ernie? Well, Eberhart told us,
but as the Sons have two more
games to play with E.O.C.E., the
revelation of Spayde's and
Eberhart's method at this time
might be detrimental to the
Sons' cause, so It'll have to wait
until the season is over. Suffice
It to say that Spayde will try it
again February 9 and 10 at
LaGrande.
Incidentally, the Ashland
college Is going at a torrid
pace. In the Sons' 10 victor
ious conference games they
have averaged 54 points to
their opponents' 37.4. with
center Bob Mulder boasting a
13.2 point per-game average
and Wes Davis following with
10.6 per contest. Bobby Hoefs.
the ex-Butte Falls star, has
averaged slightly ever i
points per tilt.
In the Sons' last four games,
against Albany college and Mt.
Angel, they had the remarkable
shooting percentage of .371.
That's really "batting" out the
baskets. They'll try to keep It
up against Oregon College of
Education In Ashland next Fri
day and Saturday nights.

282 TO WIND UP
IN SECOND PLACE
Winner Receives $1,000
Prize Money Al Zimmer
man Ties For 5th At 286.
By Russell Newland
San Francisco, Jan. 27 VP)
Benny Hogan, the best golfer In
the country for money, marbles
or chalk the last two years. Is
well on his way to making it
three terms in a row.
In the 1942 golfing gold rush,
Benny the par-buster already
has staked out two claims and
made them pay. His latest feat
was a mud-splattered victory in
the San Francisco open. He won
$1,000 first money with a nine-under-par
279.
For 72 holes Hogan battled
a soggy, slippery course to lead
the way from start to finish.
Less than three weeks before
he won in the Los Angeles open,
worth $3,500 plus an extra
$1,000 from the play-off gate
receipts with Jimmy Thomson.
In between the wins, he
picked up extra change In a
two-way tie for second place
in the Oakland tournament. His
total winnings for the first
three PGA-sanctloned tourneys
IS ,779.
Never Behind
The Hogan method has paid
dividends by walloping par to
a frazzle. He let fly with a
telling lead-off 32-33-65 In .the
first round of the San Francisco
open. It was seven under stand
ard figures for the 3636-72
California club course. The rest
of the clan couldn't catch him
from then on.
After the first round, the
event was suspended for two
days due to practically unplay
able conditions.
Returning to action, he fired
a 71, and in yesterday's last two
rounds posted 72 and 71 re
spectively. Three strokes behind Hogan,
charging like the Light Horse
brigade, came Sam Snead. The
Hot Springs, Vs., ball belter
brought In two dazzllns rounds
of 69-68 to take second money
oi sou with a total 282.
Lawson Little finished third

Northern Division Schools
Won't Waive
Spokane, Jan. 27. VP) Northern division Coast conference
schools faced war-induced athletic personnel cuts, reduced oper
ating budgets and greater economies it was agreed here yester
day at a meeting of conference members, but It was deemed
Inadvisable to waive the rule barring freshman participation in
varsity athletics.
Earl Foster, Washington State
college graduate manager, said
the athletic directors and grad
uate managers of the six col
leges and universities took no
vote on the freshman rule
waiver as the opinion appeared
unanimous enough to make it
unnecessary.
Conferees pointed, however,
to reduced revenues already felt
by the schools and agreed that
cuts in personnel and salaries
are In prospect. Likely to feel
the economy axe are school
publications which will prob
ably be reduced in size, number
and frequency of publication,
although It was agreed to con
tinue them as long as possible.
It was decided to continue the
athletic schedule already laid
out and. In addition, to place
added emphasis on Intra mural
athletics for health building.
Besides Foster, other con
ferees were Kirk Badgley and
Doug Fessenden of Montana
State university; George Greene
and Gale Mix of the University
of Idaho; Anson Cornell, Uni
versity of Oregon; Percy Locey,
Oregon State college, and Ray
Eckmann and Carl Kilgore of
the University of Washington.

STINER, AIDES
GET PAY BOOSTS
Portland, Ore., Jan. 27 (AP)
Rose Bowl pay lifts came to
day to Oregon State college
Coach Lon Stiner and members
of his staff. -
The- state board of higher edu
cation voted to offer Stiner,
whose 1941 eleven trounced
Duke university, 20-16, in the
transplanted Rose Bowl game at
Durham, N. C, a four-year con
tract calling for $7000 a year.
The board also approved $2000
special pay to be paid within six
months for preparing the team
for the Rose Bowl trip and game.
Stiner's present contract, which
expires at the end of this school
year, carries a $6600 annual sal
ary. Rumor had linked Stiner with
several coaching jobs now open
at other schools but the Beaver
coach recently denied he was
seeking another post.
Members of his staff got raises
up to $480 per year.

Lefty Larry French
Sets Sights On 2C0
Major League Wins
Los Angeles, Jan. 27. (AP
Larry French, at 34 is one of
the most prosperous major
league ball players. But Larry
Is ambitious to win 200 games in
the big time, so he's going back
for two or three seasons.
The good-looking southpaw
needs 18 victories to reach 200.
He figures he can pick up 14 of
them next season. He'll have to
reverse his 1941 record to do
that, but he's confident
"My arm wasn't any too good
last season," explained Larry.
"But I've been taking regular
treatments this winter and it
feels fine now. I think I'm good
for about 14 wins with the
Dodgers this year. Inasmuch as
I'm only 34 I ought to be able
to pitch two or three more sea
sons." ,.
French did very little last sea
son toward hitting that 200
mark. He won only five games
while losing 14. But then, he
was with the Chicago Cubs until
late August and they didn't give
him or any of their other flingers
much help.
