The dean, a mild-looking ped agogue with a sore throut, told the officials of the National Collcgiata Athletic association a thing or two ut yesterday's luncheon. He didn't give them un advance copy of his remarks, for reasons that became ob vious almost as soon os he reared up at the speaker's ta ble and began punctuating his words by pounding his fork on tho linen. He began by startling them out of their noon lime reverie with tho suggestion that sep arate athletic associations be abolished in u II schools, nudged them into acute ottentivencss when he said, in effect, that every footbull team in the coun try was employing outright pro fessionals, and before he got through ho had a room full of men looking very uncomforta ble. Dean Gauss broke in like a OREGON SPORTS NOTES By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer Al Stump, who writes the "In- side Angle" for the Columbian at Vancouver, Wash., almost choked up with enthusiasm for the Oregon Webfoot baskctccrs after watching them bring down tho Portland Pilots. As soon as ho got his voeabu lory under control Stump wrote: If you hold any Oregon Web. foot basketball stock, hang onto it, brother, like it was A.T.&T. on a rising market. "Wo still stick to our original pick of Oregon State to pace the coming northern division mesh marathon, but we might bo talked out of it after watch ing the Ducks slaughter Port land U. 'The poor Pilots were blast ed, smeared, pulverized, over come, trampled and whipped not to mention outscored. And Ed Fitzpatrick's gang is no push over. 'Tho trouble with watching Oregon Is that you gel cramps in your neck. Same kind of af fliction a rubo from Hay Center suffered when ho . . . sees his first skyscraper. "We tolked to Hobby Hobson, sleck'hoircd Oregon coach, while his boys were warming up. He hod Honk Anderson (who got 20 points on a freak wrist-snap shot that will be murder to stop) end Archlo Mnrshik, Warren Taylor, Wally Borrcvik and Vic Town send out thcro stalking around liko so many soft-shocd cranes. " 'Some height', we said. Those guys must average 6-6 anyway.' " 'About that,' shrugged Hobby. 'But I like speed, too. Take these two boys here. Nice contrast to the others, don't you thlnkT' "Contrast Is right. Little Paul Jackson is 5-7 and Don Kirsch an inch shorter. They come about to the big letter 10 on 6-8 1 Borrevlk's bony chest. "Hobby hns the complement of speed a fast break that will equal anything Hec Edmund- son's Woshlngtons will have and that towering, devastating height under the basket. Bor rcvik, Marsh Ik (6-7) and Taylor (8-5) simply parked under .the twine as the back men In a hew Oregon zono defense and the Pilots hamstrung themselves In futile leaps for tho ball. "This Anderson, a- spindly kid standing 6-7 on knock-knecs, is nmnzing. Ho spins and flips the ball goulwnrd with a Jerk of Just tho hands and wrist from about tho foul lino. It was good for nine field goals . . . and we can't seo how the shot can be stopped." Bill Hulen of Tho Mcdford PAGE THREE thundcr-clap. He said, listen fellows, we're not fooling any body. We're still hiring half backs who move their lips when they read words of more than tw syllables. We won't bo genuine amateurs until we quit doing this, and until we make our coaches members of the faculty. The dean didn't use these words, because he Is extremely well educated and because he could not be that crude, if he wished. But that was what he meant. He was the hit of the meeting. The football coaches, who heard of the dean's remarks only secondhand and were vast ly amused, closed their annual meeting by electing . O. (Fritz) Crlslcr of Michigan their presi dent. It is authoritatively re ported that Fritz will not be coaching actively next year, but will be the Wolverine's new athletic director, succeeding the veteran Fielding H. Yost, who wishes to retire. The NCAA between being Jolted by Dean Gauss' observa tions, resolved at its closing session to raise funds to find out what colleges are breaking the amateur rules, and to boot them out of the organization forthwith.

The Joint Neu-Redlin per formances in downhill and sla lom, events counting toward the team championship, were almost enough in themselves to win Washington the inter-college ti tle, but the two Seattleites had so much support from their schoolmates, both varsity and re serve, that Washington actually gathered in both first and second places in the meet.
