Place in State Weight Lifting mXm " DULL A- We, who saw the Oregon-Oregon State game, were not ter rifically impressed by its action despite the etherized dramatics evidently manufactured by As td' John Carpenter. As our boss pointed out yesterday, the larger portion oi the dear old Pelicans battles this year car ried far more for the spectator's dough than Saturday's civil war. - Oregon, supposedly because of Tommy Roblin's absence, dem onstrated an astounding lack of even a reasonable facsimile of an attack. But for Curt Mech era's 53-yard trot in the third quarter, the Webfoots were ade quately throttled by the Beavers' shifting defense and their own horrible ineptness. - The Staters looked like an of fensive ball club just once in their fourth quarter 60-yard march for the clinching score. And then we cannot understand how Joe Day, at a virtual stand still at the scrimmage line, man aged to break away from Tack ier Val Culwell for his final gal lop to the goal. You, Klamath people, are more fortunate than you realize in having an average good high achool team and Chuck Stan field's tween-halves demonstra tions to witness throughout the fall. .. By the way, Oregon Staters, none of you who ventured a guess via this column last Fri day hit it right on the nose.

The Golden Gophers, as had week in November, finished in osition accorded them a year BOWLS IN BRIEF HEW YORK, Dec. 2 (UP) The bowls in brief: Rote Bowl, Pasadena. Calif. Oregon State versus Duke. Sugar Bowl, New Orleans Fordham versus Missouri. Cotton Bowl, Dallas. Tex.. ' Texas Aggies versus Alabama. Orange BowL Miami. Fla. Georgia versus unnamed op ponent. This bid went to Texas but was declined by the Loaghorn players. MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 2 (UP) Twice-beaten and once-tied Texas Christian university, which has conquered seven ma jor football teams this season, including Texas, will meet the University of Georgia in the Orange Bowl here on New Year's day, it was announced Monday night Bowl President W. G. Ward made the announcement a few hours after Texas had declined a similar bid to play here. Geor gia accepted the invitition Sat urday. TCU will be making its fourth appearance in six years in a bowl game and has yet to lose a post season encounter. The Horned Frogs last appeared in a New Year's day game in the Sugar Bowl in 1939, when they trim med Carnegie Tech, 15-7. Howard Grubbs, TCU athletic director, telephoned acceptance to the Orange Bowl committee and said .southwest conference officials had approved the game. This year TCU a vaunted at tack, which has clicked only spasmodically, reached its peak when it turned back the then No. 1 team of the nation, Texas, 14-7. In its last start, TCU nosed out Southern Meth6dist, 15-13. The Frogs have lost to the Texas Aggies, 14-0, and Fordham, 28 14. Rice tied them 0-0. Leading the opposing Geor gia Bulldog team will be All American Frankie Sinkwich, the broken-Jawed halfback who has led his team to its best record since 1928. Georgia has lost only to Alabama, 28-14, and was tied by Mississippi, 14-14. The Bull dogs' eight victims have been Dartmouth, Columbia, Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn, South Carolina, Mercer and Center. Beside The Headpin Sr "LADYBUO" Just as I predicted, Junior is on deck feeling pretty chipper and has some mighty interest ing dope on Thursday night's league play. Cummings Fur Shop, Town Shop, and Daggett insurance are in a three-way deadlock for first place each with 15 wins and 12 -losses. The O. K. Transfer, Swan Confectionery and Eddie's Place are in the same fix for second place, each with 14 wins and 13 losses. Interesting? You bet. Junior also had on his list a new name Washington Best Coast Team in 5-Year Average By GAIL FOWLER CORVALLIS, Dec. 2 (JP) Washington, Southern Califor nia, California and Oregon State. $j.is FULL QUART appeared likely since the second first place to retain the No. 1 ago, just as they retained the western conicrcnce cnampion- ship they won in 1940. Of the 96 sports experts throughout the country who took part in this week's balloting, 84 plunked for Minnesota ajid one other split his vote between the Gophers and Duke. As a result tne Gophers, with nine second-place votes, an other for third and one for fourth, polled a total of 945 H points out of a perfect 960. Duke's Blue Devils, Rose-bowl bound to meet Oregon State, got 94 for first and 7254 points, and Duquesne, only other big-time unbeaten and un tied team in the land, 309 23 points for eighth. Points were awarded on a basis of 10 for first, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc. In the two biggest bowl games, the voters make Duke a heavy favorite over Oregon State, given only enough points for twelfth place, while rating the Fordham-Missouri Sugar Bowl clash virtually a toss-up. Fordham got 329 23 points in sixth place, Missouri 328 in a seventh. Notre Dame, Texas and Michigan, in third, fourth and fifth, and Texas A. and M. and Navy, in ninth and tenth, completed the first 10. Gone from the 1940 honor roll are Stanford, Boston col lege, Tennessee, Nebraska, Mis sissippi State, Northwestern and Washington. Holdovers, besides Minnesota, are Michigan and Texas A. and M. Kelly, in his ballot, came closest to the week's ranking. He named the first three teams in order, then followed with Missouri, Fordham, Texas A. and M., Duquesne, Navy and Michigan. LOS ANGELES. Dec. 2 (UP) Minnesota's mighty Golden Gophers were placed first in na tional rankings by Deke Houl gate, football statistician, in his final selections Monday night. Houlgate placed Navy second, Alabama third, Duquesne fourth, Notre Dame, fifth, Michigan, Mississippi State and Texas tied for sixth, Duke, the eastern rep resentative to the Rose bowl, ninth and Pennsylvania, tenth. Oregon State, the western honor-bearer at the Rose bowl, was rated in a tie for 14th with Ohio State and Temple. for lead in high average that sure-armed, sharp - eyed gal, Maggie (I mean) Margaret Ma- honey. The rest of his info is that Eddie's Place still holds the lead for high three-game series of the season; that Royal Crown Cola still holds high single game; that Doris Cheyne still holds high individual series and that's 572 (how's that for some thing to shoot at?); that Marty McCollum jumped into the lead for high single game with ' a 215. Who's next? Well, with things the way they are and all, Junior and the rest of us are expect ing most anything, for Thurs day night Cummings Fur Shop and O. K. Transfer are match ed. Town Shop and Lorenz Company play their three games together, Swan Confectionery and Daggett Insurance roll 'em out and Eddie's Place and Royal Crown Cola spill the pins on the same two alleys. Junior has been writing let ters to Santa Claus but I guess he's keeping it a secret. What do you suppose he wants? I'll guess with you. Those are the four top teams in the Pacific Coast conference according to a check of com posite standings since the round robin, eight -team football league was instituted in 1936. Next year Idaho and Montana will be included on a full-time basis and make it a 10-team af fair. Bud Forrester, publicity man for the 1941 conference cham pions at Oregon State, dug up the. figures. Although USC and UCLA play this Saturday, the outcome won't affect the com posite standings. Here they are: Won Lost Tied Pet. Washington ......25 14 3 .641 So.

Dec. 2 (UP) When you settle down to pick the winners of the coming bowl games, don't mte Duke off the in formation you've gathered from Blue Devil teams of the past particularly the one which lost to USC in Pasadena's rose fes tival three years ago. For times have changed in Durham, N. C, and so have the football styles. The authority for this news is a gentleman who should know, if anybody does. His name is Wallace Wade, he coaches the Duke team and he has played in more post-season games than almost any two other men in his busi ness. Take it -straight from Wade. Duke of 1941 is cut from a different pattern than the Dukes of 1940. 1939, 1938 and all the other years. I buttonholed the Blue Devil coach in a dark comer of a West Side restaurant just four minutes after he had been in formed that his team had offi cially been invited west for the second time in four years, and he explained the difference in little more than a sentence the defense has given way to the offense at Duke, and the Blue Devils no longer punt and pray. "In 1938 we had a fine punt er in Eric Tipton and so we just kicked and kicked and waited for the breaks," Wade explained between big bites of venison. "We didn't play very spectacu larly, but we did all right. We were unbeaten, untied and un scored on until the Trojans put over a touchdown in the last 40 seconds of the Rose bowl game. "This year we aren't operat ing on the same theory. The best way I can describe the present team is that it Is nicely balanced and it accents the of fense. Instead of waiting to cap italize on the other fellow's mis takes for our touchdowns, we go right after them now and keep the ball ourselves. You can see that in the 331 points we have scored in nine games." "Lach has been compared with Ace Parker by coaches and newspapermen and pretty favor ably, too," the Duke coach con tinued. "All I can say about that is Lach is a better all around player than Parker. I don't mean that he is a better offensive threat. I mean that he is as good a blocker as he is a passer or runner. "Lach is a natural athlete. He could probably win the starting call at every position on the team except one the tackle spot held down by Mike Karmazin, probably our best lineman. The team In general Point-Gettin' Teams Dominate New Year's Bowl Game Choices By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK, Dec. 2 (P) Touchdown conscious elevens predominate the selections made for the various New Year'g day bowl games with only Oregon State, Rose bowl host, classed as a defensive unit although Mis souri's No. 1 Sugar bowl line hasn't yielded a touchdown all season. The west coast school needed 20 hours of discussion before se lecting Duke, unbeaten and pow erful enough to collect 311 points in nine games, as its January 1 guest at Pasadena. The Duke touchdown-collection Is a record for tho Blue Devils. Simultaneous with the Mis souri acceptance, Sugar bowl of ficials named Fordham as the Tiger foe in the New Orleans classic. In contrast to previous years, It was a bevy of high scoring backs rather than a non yielding line that brought the New York Rams to the heights. Even before Frankie Sinkwich and his Georgia mates had left the showers Saturday a f t e r blanking Georgia Tech, '21 to 0, of 410 pounds. Blue Devils Alter Style Stress Attack Is fairly solid although the re serves aren't overly strong. I can't say what our chances against Oregon State will be, because I don't know much about Oregon State." If you go by the record, the chances will be pretty good. Wade has gone to the Rose bowl five times before, as a player for Brown, coach for Alabama Rich Santa Anita "Cap Draws Horii bf Year, Day LOS ANGELES, Dec.

However, there's no need to wait to assure racing fans that Whirlaway, Bay View, Challe don, Meissen, Mioland and Por ter's Cap, for instance, were nominated. Whirlaway, Warren C. Wright's great winner of nearly everything offered a 3-year-old, Is horse of the year. Bay View, the $118.40 to $2 winner of the $100,000 Anita 'cap last March, is the horse of a day.

The fuel capacity of the 80 ton B-19 bomber is 11,000 gal Ions, approximately the capacity of the average railway tank car. the Orange bowl committee in Miami selected the Bulldogs as their southern choice. The equal ly point-crazy Texas Longhorns have been chosen, unofficially, as the opponent. Texas A Sc M, first Southwest conference school to share In three consecutive loop titles, and a 13 to 12 victor in the Dallas Cotton bowl a year ago, returns there. Unbeaten Duquesne, Mis sissippi State and Penn State are among the possible foes. Even though Oregon State Is listed as the lone defensive bowl participant, It ran up scores of 27 and 33 against Montana and Idaho, respectively, and finished the season with 123 points scored to 33 permitted. Halfback Don Durdan is Its chief touchdown delight while Center Quentin Greenough bul warks the line against which Steve Lach, tho Duke destroyer, will operate. Lach was the fulcrum for the Blue Devil offensive that brought Coach Wallace Wade his sixth unbeaten and untied team, ex clusive of post-season contests, since he began coaching In IBID. W HI 'AiH -'i- ..--j -r . A.'i and coach for Duke, and he has been beaten only once then In the last 40 seconds. And one thing he told me may be taken as a tip that In his heart he doesn't expect to be beaten again. "The thing I admire most about the present Duke team is its poise and consistency," he said. "The boys never let down once in nine straight games al though every time they were favored a condition which makes them prone to careless ness. And dont think that just because we ran up big scores that we played a push-over schedule. "Remember that Colgate. North Carolina State, Tennessee and those other teams all beat some pretty fair squads them selves. And remember that every time a southern team goes against Duke it goes shooting with everything It has." Barry, Horrell Prepping for Grid Finale LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3 (TV- It looks very much as If Coaches Sam Barry and Babe Horrell were pepping their charges to give Angclenos an all-out scoring spree in their 1941 football finale Saturday. Although Southern California outgalned Washington on the ground last weekend, Coach Sam Barry put his Trojans right back to work . on ground plays and came up with a few new ones, for good measure. Across town. Coach Horrell sent the University of California at Los Angeles Bears through their whole offensive repertoire '. . . and also pitched in a couple of new potential touchdown get ters. For every pilot there are 10 other men in the air corps. For every man in the air, there are five on the ground, It also will be his sixth Rose bowl visit. Five of those trips have been as a coach and one was as guard of the Brown university eleven in 1916. Fordham, famed as the home of the seven blocks of granite a few years ago, counters this sea son with Steve Fillpowlcz, a pass-throwing fullback; J I m Blumenstock, a broken field speedster; a horde of loose-hipped sophomlrcs, and Jim Lans ing, an outstanding end.
