QUARTER fraUST 1 tonkot AT TEX OLIVER'S TWIST Reasons for Stanford's victory over Nebraska have been chewed and rechewed as thor oughly as a cow's cud since the 1941 Tournament of Roses brawl, but none of the sport sters have hit upon the secret of Shaughnessy's success more ex actly than Tex Oliver. The Oregon mentor paused here the other night on the way to Eugene after taking in the Rose bowl tilt. Over the dinner table he explained that he gave up the NCAA meeting at New York because his Oregon Web foots clash with the Stanfords first crack out of the box next fall. "You know," he mused, "we coaches could solve a lot of prob lems if we could figure out one thing how to make a slow football player catch a faster . one." Not meaning to discredit Shaughnessy for his magnificent Job of coaching this year, Oliver . summed up the Rose bowl game just that way. It was speed, imply too much get-up-and-go, that outclassed the Cornhuskers. Take that beautiful punt re turn by Kmetovie that turned the tide of the game and took the fight out of the mid-western ra. He'a not the fastest man en the squad taking a back eat to Gallarneau but Kme tovic'i sprint ni limply a mat ter of superior speed, plus su perior shiftiness and terrific blocking on the parti of his In- . auan mates. That punt return, we're told by another Informant (not Oli ver), was the only planned play ..the Indiana worked out especi ally for the Rose bowl game. Yea, Kmetovlc'i punt return .was run off exactly according to blue prints. He shook off two ' taeklers, reversed his field be hind the B 0-yard line, and set out down the opposite sideline with the whole Nebraska team craft ily thrown out of position and perfect targets for Stanford blockers. This same Informant learned from Stanford players that Cie Indians have memorized not less than 176 plays during the year they had that many at their fin gertips during the Comhusker fame. Oliver elaborated on his the ory of superior speed. Not once, but three times, he said, Nebraska backs were not only through the secondary but out In the clear and headed goal ward during the early part of the game. They lacked the . speed to take advantage of these scoring chances. Each time they broke away they were over hauled from the rear. Honkers Split Series With Bend Cagers LAKE VIEW It seems to be a habit for the Lakeview Honkers to split each two game series they play with the Bend Lava Bears. Last year the Honkers lost to the Bears Friday night but won Saturday during the Christmas holidays. Three weeks ago in Bend, the Honkers won Friday night but lost Saturday, - and last weekend, the Honkers lost Friday night, 22-26 and won Saturday night, 27-20. Friday, the Honkers were de- , cidely off on their shooting, missing "set-ups" time and again, while the Bears coolly made dif- flcult shots. Joe Barry paced the Honkers Friday with nine points to be high scorer for the locals while Ferneau was high for the Bears with 12 points, six count- , ers each half. The Lakeviewltes took ad vantage of the Bend squad's poor passing and shooting the second ' night, and emerged after an ex ceedingly fast last quarter with the long end of a 27-20 score. High point honors for the - Honker quintet were divided ' Saturday, both Dclos Price and Flap Lovcnborg scoring seven points, while Eby, Bend forward, , netted 10 points to be high. TACOMA, Jan. 7 ffl Athletic relations were resumed between the Pacific Lutheran college ,,and the College of Puget Sound . after a three-year lapse Mon . day night when the Lutes de- feated the Loggers 43-31 in a basketball game.

Four Bouts Will Narrow Title Race James Meet Raburn; Beicastro To Battle Mike; Drawing Slated Numbers will be drawn from a hat tonight to determine the order in which four big bouts are presented in the Pacific coast wrestling tournament's quarter finals at the armory. The bouts: Pete Beicastro vs. Mike Nasarian. Jesse James vs. Billy Ra burn. Dan McShain vs. 0 1 1 s Clingman. Ernie PUuso vs. Red Ly ons. With each of the matches possessing the earmarks of a main event, a bang-up card is in the offing for what is ex pected to be the largest crowd yet to attend a tournament pro gram. A defeat tonight means elim ination from the title race. The eight grapplers have earned spots in the quarter- fin als through long elimination rounds, but each will enter the arena tonight with a clear rec ord. All of the four bouts will be finish affairs, with no time limits. The winners will be the first matmen to gain two out of three falls. Topping the list as potential ly the wildest bout on the pro gram is the Pete Belcastro-Mike Nazarian affair, In which Bei castro will be defending the coast diadem he won but nev er before defended. The title was taken from Beicastro by the Northern California Wrest ling ' association some time ago and has hot been put on the block prior to this tournament Beicastro Is rated a slight fa vorite over Nazarian, but many local fans would rather see the mad Armenian eliminate the unpopular Italian ruffian. The James-Raburn bout stacks up as an exact opposite,- offer ing the best of scientific com petition. Rabum is being watch ed for a possible upset win over the clever, speedy Greek Adonis. Dangerous Danny ' McShain will meet one of the toughest scientists in the business when he tangles with Clingman. The Texan, by winning, would score a decided upset, and possibly a very popular one. Ernie Piluso reenters the tournament tonight against a big, rough matman who has posted several tournament wins. Lyons, the Joplin Ghost, will be a tough opponent for the popular Klamath wrestler, who is rated as a strong favorite, and one of the chief contend ers for the coast crown. The card gets underway at 8:30.

Big Bill Tilden Still Draws 'Em in Net Game By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (JP) Alice Marble has embarked up on her career as a tennis pro fessional, with the launching of a financial as well as an artis tic success, but for your "buck ten" fan, 47-year-old Big Bill Tilden still is the player who draws 'em through the turn stiles. "Queen Alice" entered the play-for-play game Monday night in Madison Square Gard en by downing Mary Hardwick, England's best, v8-6, 8-6, despite ragged control. A surprisingly good crowd of 12,371 contrib uted to a gross gate of $25, 614.50. But, while the customers ap plauded politely and cheered virtually none at all for Miss Marble and Miss Harwick, they went "all out" as Big Bill took X M White. Staf Skiuu lime!

WHITMAN LOSES WALLA WALLA, Jan. 7 VP) A second-half rally gave the Bastern Oregon college quintet a 53-51 victory over Whitman college basketball team last night. Whitman led at half time 27-23. Three of Whitman's regulars were missing from the lineup. the court and blew a 6-4, 6-3 decision to Redhead Don Budge in the companion feature. They kept right on roaring as Bill and Alice came through, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3, in the mixed doubles. They whistled and checr-d and stomped when the "old man" of the net game made a good shot. They sympathized with loud "tisk-tisks" or "too bad. Bill," when he missed They loved his antics for in stance, when he was 'way out of position for a Budge place ment and threw his racquet at the ball, or when "he was far too slow going after a deep lob and retraced his steps with an exaggerated limp, leaning on his racquet as a cane. v Last night's stand was the first of a tour scheduled through more than 50 cities. Bulla Wins $ 10,000 Knights Win From Timber Quint 33-17 Patike, Crane Star em Bly Townies Slap Down Merrill Indians, 55-21 , Hoopstcrs of the Knights of Columbus, although somewhat bewildered by an effective Weyerhaeuser attack and a close-knit defense that kept them bottled up In the first half, came back strong In the second period of a Commercial league game last night at the Klamath armory to win going away from tho Tlmbcrmen, 33 17. The KC outfit, playing with out the services of its rugged pivot man, Emil Strotheidc, seemed unable to penetrate the tight man-to-man defense set up by Weyerhaeuser team in the initial period. On the other hand the Timber crew, paced by J3uck Ferguson and Al Motion who did all the scoring for the losers in this session, was getting the ball off both backboards with consistent ease. In the second half the KnightJ scored in the first few seconds of action on a tipoff play from Paul Crapo to Earl Brooks who dropped a layin shot through the basket to put the KCs ahead for the first time, 13-12. After that the winners were never headed as they methodically rolled up their 18 point margin before the game ended. Twenty-four personal fouls were called during the rough encounter. The Lutherans of the Church circuit outplayed the Latter Day Saints in last night's opener and posted a 26-17 victory over the previously-undefeated LDS quin tet. Win for the Lutheran club put that aggregation in a two way tie with ' the Saints for leadership of the Church league. Each team now has a record of three victories and one defeat in four games to date. Swanson and Schroeder. cen ter and guard, respectively, for the Lutherans, as usual were the big guns in the winners' at tack. The former added 10 points to this individual scor ing leadership while Schroeder annexed eight counters. Hugh Kidwcll was high for the LDS squad with five points. Bly Townies completely over whelmed the hapless Merrill Indians in the evening's second encounter. 55-23, running up a 32-5 advantage at the rest period. Bud Patzke and Ray Crane, Bly guards, accounted for 31 points of the winners total. Patzke had 16 points while Crane looped in 15. Wilbur Haskins of the Merrill contingent was particularly ef fective in the second period when he scored 12 points to bring his game total to 14, third high for the tilt. Rumminr: Luthewan (H) Pot.
