If Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Day
of Seaside, parents of Oregon
State's Joe Day, camp on the
Rose Bowl turf from Christmas
time on, don't think it unusual.
The couple started for Eugene
to see the Oregon-Oregon State
game last Saturday and reached
a point some 116 miles from the
Duck city when their car broke
down. Repairs had Just been
completed as the radio an
nounced the kickoff.
Ma and Pa Day arrived Just
In time to see Joe's game clincher
in the fourth quarter. Somebody
asked Pa Day how he liked the
game.
"Like It?" he shouted. "You're
only a fan I'm his father."
Two candidates for mythical
eoach-of-the-year laurels tangle
Saturday in Tacoma when the
Cougars face the Texas Aggies.
They're Homer Norton, pilot
of the Ags, and Babe Holling
bery, WSC mentor.
According to the AP, Norton
lost nine of his 1940 machine
yet won the 1941 Southwest con
ference championship. His one
defeat was at the hands of
mighty Texas. And it was only
his second defeat In 30 games.
Hollingbery took "the rem
nant of what was a remnant to
begin with," then lost more than
20 players no klddin' during
the 1941 season by way of in
juries, withdrawals and con
scription, and emerged as the
coast's giant-killer.

' SKI MONTAGE
The Toronto ski club, started
in 1922 by a handful of enthus
iasts, now numbers more than
5000 members. The club proper
ty is at Summit, 20 miles north
of Toronto, and has night ski
classes on flood-lighted hills . . .
, . . Most famous of the skiers
in the 15th Infantry is Private
Walter Prager, ex-Dartmouth
coach. A Swiss, he has won
scores of championships through
out Europe . . . Paul Lafferty,
former coach of the University
of Oregon ski team, is a captain
in the regiment and one of the
outfit's reigning big shots . . .
Another ski trooper is Peter
Pringsheim, a Bavarian and ex
member of the German national
ski team. Pringsheim spent six
months as an instructor in the
German army. .. Still another is
Wladyslaw Thomas Mietelski,
34-year-old Pole who was bom
In America but spent 10 years
in the Polish army's ski troops. .
. . . Then there's Lieut. Johnny
B. Woodward of Seattle who was
an instructor of the ski patrol
and last year took fourth place
in the annual Silver Skis race
on Mt. Rainier . . . One who will
probably soon be transferred
into the ski troop is Private Ar
nold Fawcus, an Englishman
who's skied in European compe
tition and was assistant winter
sports director at Yosemite Na
tional park. ...
, i . Others are Sergeant Thom
as Pearce who spent five years
carrying mail and supplies on
skis over a 12-mile California
mountain route; Private Tony
Knutson, once of Kristiansand.
Norway, and combined langlauf
Jumping champion of the north
west in 1938; and Private Tom
Hill, former director of the ski
school at Mt. Hood's Timberline
lodge.

DARE
Dave Sanderson, the stocky
Eugene Daily News sports editor
who knows high Jumping as well
as he does a calendar, paid for
our weekend in Eugene and on
Mount Hood Saturday and Sun
day for which we are tremen
dously, and finally grateful.'
' But David is not finished. This
week in his column he publicly
has challenged us to a golf match
on any course we name for any
amount per hole.
Which is practically only a
slight variation of the old army
game. This correspondent's best
score is a somewhat specious 91,
compiled one day two years ago
when we were playing alone.
David is adriot enough to have
entered the Oregon State Ama
teur last summer on the coast.
We will accept his dare, how
ever on these conditions: That
the business be properly handi
capped by neutral parties and
that on the same day or the fol
lowing he meets us in a downhill
race from Crater rock to Timber
line lodge on Mount Hood or on
any comparable distance on any
course he wishes.
Stakes will be double the
amount won or lost on the golf
match. :

Frankowski Only
Coast Player Named
1941 All-Star Features Mobile
Line, Backs With Power, Passing
By JACK GUENTHER
NEW YORK. Dec. 5 (UP) A mobile line with the speed to
belie its 202-pound average from end to end and a compact back
field which combines straight power with passing good enough
to bewilder any type of defense that's the United Press All
America football team for 1941.
It is a team chosen by sports editors and football writers
who have seen every important player from one coast to the
other and it is a team dominated by the midlands and on the
south. Between them these two sections provided nine players to
one for the east and one for the Pacific toast.
It is a team without a stand-
out star.
Bill Dudley, of Virginia, the
nation's leading scorer, drew the
greatest number of votes with
598, while Endicott Peabody,
2nd, of Harvard led the linemen
with 540.
Minnesota, generally consider
ed the mythical national cham
pion, was the only squad to place
two men on the first team.
Here is the team by positions:
End Holt Rast of Alabama, a
thoroughly rounded player who
calls his team's signals and is
rated by Frank Thomas as the
"best end 1 ever have coached."
He is comparatively light but
he plays a slashing game on de
fense and ranks as one of the
best blockers in the south.
Dot is Junior
End Bob Dove of Notre
Dame, a willowy youth at his
best when he is picking the
passes of Angelo Bertelli out of
the air and sprinting for great
gains through the enemy second
ary. He is a junior.
Tackle Dick Wildung of
Minnesota, another junior who
has been a regular starter for
two years despite Bernie Bier
man's well known aversion to
unseasoned men. An almost un
animous choice as the top lines
man in the Big 10 and a boy
whose mind is as alert as his legs.
Tackle Ernie Blandin of Tu
lane, the biggest man on the
1941 United Press
Ail-American Team
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (UP) The United Press ail-American
football team for 1941. Under the point system the mon

Guard Endicott Peabody of
Harvard, the player Swede Lar

but he was rated as the best
lineman on the field no matter
who Harvard played.
Guard Ray Frankowski of
Washington, a low-slung bulldog
who is the heavyweight wrestl
ing champion in the Pacific
coast conference. He is fast
enough to guard against passes,
recover fumbles and lead his
mates down field under punts.
Center Darold Jenkins of
Missouri, a driving offensive
center with a flair for down
field blocking which makes
many of the Tigers' long runs
possible. A superior student and
inspirational leader.
Quarterback Bill Dudley of
Virginia, one of the great offen
sive backs to rise from a small
college. He averaged six yards
a play on rushing, eight and a
half on passing and gained 2439
yards in nine games. Plunges,

Smith Difference
Halfback Frank Sinkwich
of Georgia, who gained 1102
yards rushing to miss the all
time record by only 20 yards,
and added 713 more by throwing
52 completed passes. Starred in
every game although he played
with a brace on his broken jaw
most of the season and spent
several weeks on liquid diets.
Halfback Bruce Smith of
Minnesota, who, although ham
pered by Injuries, finished fourth
among the offensive men of the
Big 10, sparked hus team's only
touchdown against Michigan,
routed Iowa and Wisconsin and
in general was the difference be
tween a good Minnesota squad
and an outstanding one. He av
eraged 105.2 yards per game.
Fullback Bob Westfall of
Michigan, who can spin better
than any fullback in America
and through this trait laid the
groundwork for many of Har
mon's runs last year by keeping
the defense bunched. He didn't
play a single bad game in three
years.

The Aggies come out of Ta

southwestern conference, one of
football's tough leagues. They
have lost only one game.
The Cougars move down from
Pullman as one of four tooms
tied for second ploce in the Pa
cific coast conference scramble.
But they bring into the game a
record of five straight wins and
realization that if it hadn't been
for a pair of one-point defeats
earlier in tho year they would
be heading for Pasadena around
Christmas time for the Rose
Bowl. They hold a victory over
Oregon State, the western Rose
