COMPLAINT DEPT.
- ?T6day wo have rebuttal to
Our opinion of last Saturday's
Oretfon-Orecon State game. Mr.
Glonn W. Peil ol P. O. Box 882,
Klamath Falls, thinks it was
great contest "one great Ore
gon team against anotner great
Oregon team.--?Mf.
"Pell says:
"Referring to (your) article
of December 2 concerning
the Oregon-Oregon State game.
I want to go to bat for our Ore-
son teams.
"Any, sports fan would dislike
the Inference in this particular
' statement 'We cannot under
stand how Joe Day, at a virtual
standstill at the scrimmage line,
managed to break away from
Tackle Val Culwell for his final
gallon to the goal.' The phrase
ology of the above statement in
fers that Mr. culweu migni nave
held -on if he wished. If that
were - so, there were other mo
ments in the game when points
could have been conceded more
cleverly for instance, with the
ball- on Oregons one-yard line,
fourth down, Ashconi of Oregon
broke thru and spilled Shelton
for-no gain, and gained posses
sion of the ball.
'Hven if (you) believed what
(yol) implied, (you) should have
left publication of that fact to the
'Pardon the Yawn' boys of Cali
fornia. ..
; "In reference to the statement
of a 'dull game' Oregon State is
rated as one of the best defensive
teams on the coast and being
such, ;it blocks and obscures the
outstanding plays which star in
dividuals on opposing teams
vjould otherwise put into effect
t thrill the spectators. 'Even
All-American Frankie Albert'
couldn't make his plays click
against the Beavers. Lon Stiner's
team is built on strength of the
eleven,-, who work as a unit, de
pending upon no one outstanding
star, thus, altho lacking some
c&lor of other clubs, is out to
Win.
"There are still football fans
vfho enjoy the good fundamental
ball which' Coach SUner is noted
for.. , ...y.y
' "As I see it it was one great
Oregon team against another
great Oregon team, with but one
thought to win."
jHmmmm, Mr. Peil. First off,
we did not mean to infer that
Mr. Val Culwell deliberately al
lowed Mr. Joe Day- to gallop
unimpeded toward the goal line.
We do not think that in a game
between Oregon, and Oregon
State, of .all schools, any Oregon
pjayetjjvould allow any Beaver
trj gallop anywhere unimpeded
Iffhe could possibly help it and
vce-versa.
iNo matter if there's a Rose
ttywl at stake for one of the
tqams, the gentlemen just don't
dve each -other that well.
Mr. CulWell's miss Just didn't
lciok like good football. Perhaps,
lipe the Other Oregons, he was
over-footballed from the prev
ious week's Washington battle,
os had been overdrawn for the
aflnual "crucial."
jSecondly, if we believed what
lift. Peil thought we implied,
there is no good reason why its
pointing out should be left to the
"Pardon the Yawn" lads of Cali
fornia or anyone else.
Thirdly, relative to the game
Fine taste, low price,
consistently good since repeal.
No wonder millions say:
' 1 ..imLr f i I . : I ,

when buying bourbon, and that
name's "Windsor." You'll find II a

With three players each, Stanford and Washington State topped the Pacific

V Br BUSS NEWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4 W) Giant linemen and compara
tively light but fleet and versatile backs make up the Associated
Press' all-Pacific coast football team for 1941.
Aside from Quentin Greenough, 185-pound Oregon State cen
tes, the men up front bulk better than 200 pounds. The backfield
provides speed in Pete Kmetovic, outstanding passing and punting
in Frank Albert and Bill Sewell and a charger in Bob Robertson.
: The 17th annual consensus
being "dulL" But for Mecham's
breakaway for 53 yards, and the
Beaver drive for their final score,
it was dull. The first half was a
marvel of inaction in offensive
football.
It was uninteresting to most
fans perhaps in the way a no
hit no-run baseball game in
which a pitcher mows down the
opposition is uninteresting to all
but a very small minority of un
derstanding fans. But dull never
theless to the majority.' .
' Defensive football may win
games but offensive football wins
customers. .
Fourth, Mr. Peil says Oregon
State is rated as one of the best
defensive teams on the coast.
According to the American
Football Statistical bureau, the
Beavers rank third behind Cali
fornia, Stanford and Idaho in
combined rushing and passing de
fense, third in rushing . defense,
and SEVENTH IN PASS DE
FENSE.
Yet Oregon completed only
two passes Saturday. According
to the figures, then, the fault
evidently lay in the Webfoot air
offense. :
To us the whole thine was
kind of anti-climactical.

on the 1941 all-Pacific coast
team also is distinguished by
the fact that northern players
dominate it for the first time.
Five southern boys were named
to the varsity eleven. The north
also placed six men on the sec
ond team and eight on the third
squad. . v' - ",
Every player in the far west
was eligible but the sports writ
ers, coaches and officials who
made the selections, chose a first
team composed of Coast confer
ence candidates.
. . OSC Places One
Although Oregon State won
the conference championship and
the Rose bowl nomination, it
placed only its star center,
Greenough, on the first eleven.
The .dethroned champion, Stan
ford and, Washington State, the
league's giant killer, each put
three jnen on the varsity. In
closing games, Washington State
tripped up Oregon, Oregon State
and Stanford.
. The varsity team has the
equivalent of three ends with
the WSC pair, Dale Gentry and
Nick Susoeff at the positions and
Bob Reinhard, California tackle,
available for such duties. Rein
hard, showed pass catching clev
erness on tackle eligible plays.
Nine seniors and two juniors
were named, Susoeff and Charles
Taylor, Stanford guard, being
the only 2-year men honored this
season.
Holdovers from the 1940 all-
coast included Reinhard, Stan
ford's two backfield aces, Frank
Albert and Pete Kmetovic and
Ray Frankowski, Washington
guard.

That was the way many ob

might be added that USC has a

a couple of better than average

Confidence oozed from the

the odds favoring their rivals.

Fordham Admits
OSC Invitation
To Rose Bowl
NEW YORK, Dec. 4 (UP)
Fordham was officially recog
nized as football champion of
the east Wednesday but all the
edge was taken off the good news
when Ram spokesmen admitted
for the first time they were
offered the Rose Bowl bid but
couldn't accept it because they
had signed with the Sugar Bowl
sponsors eight hours earlier.
Just a few minutes after the
Rams were awarded the Lambert
trophy which is emblematic of
the eastern title Fordham Pub
licity Director Tom Deegon said
Oregon State had tendered Ford
ham the Pasadena invitation at
8:30 a. m. Sunday morning. The
Rams had closed their deal with
New Orleans at 2 a. m. after
awaiting word from Corvallls,
Ore., most of Saturday night.
"The Oregon officials said
they were very sorry that Ford
ham could not represent the east

Tho awarding of the Lambert
trophy came as no surprise. The

was ranked second over unde
