OREGON SPORTS NOTES
-.-.- By FRED HAMPSON
P ' Associated Press Staff Writer
The dismissal of Coach Jimmy Phelan by the University of
Vashington has elicited a variety of comment from Oregon and
Vashington sports writers. Perhaps one of the most revealing
s that of Al Stump of the Vancouver Columbian, a recent Wash
ngton undergraduate and a friend of dozens of past and present
Vashington players.
Sez Al:
'This corner has said again
nd again that the cold reserve
'tawny Phelan threw up be-
ween himself and his hirea-
Land gridders is the fundament
al i reason Washington teams
laven't performed up to actual
trengtb and the reason now
vhy J. P. is out in the cold.
J, "Cold-Blooded" . .
"Phelan chose to view Husky
ootball as a cold-blooded busi
est proposition, ignoring the
luman element. Here is what
counle of s a u a d members
aid1: Elmer Berg, qb: 'Person-
lly. I thought Jim s football
as sound and that he knew his
tuff ... If there was any
weakness it was the failure of
he coaching staff to get close
the men . . . There was just
bit of coolness which made
ome of us wonder." An un-
amed '41 varsity regular:
rhere was something lacking
which I believe was com-
lete cooperation between
caches and players . . . Maybe
,nat was not Jim's fault, but I
Ml if we had had a closer un-
erstanding we would have won
lore games'."
Most of the other scribes
ally to the defense of the re
lated Phelan. Harry Leeding
the Oregon Journal points
ut ' that Phelan's record since
ae round-robin schedules went
ito effect was the best in the
sague, 29 victories, 14 defeats
nd three ties, for a .641 ner-
entage. As Leeding says
:iat U a terrific record for
ound-robinlng.

ot the 84 sports writers partici
pating In the Associated Press
poll. The Panthers rolled up 144
votes, 114 of which came from
38 first place tallies on the basis
of three for first, two for second
and one for third.
The Long horns, a surprise
winning, tying or losing, re
ceived 16 first place votes and
a total of 84 points. Some of the
writers Just called Texas the sur
prise of the year, others men
tioned the Longhorns 7-7 tie
with Baylor, their 14-7 defeat
at the hands of Texas Christian
and the 71-7 victory over Oregon
in the final game of the season.
Billy Conn had Joe Louis on
the run for 12 rounds in their
June title fight and then lost
to the brown bomber in the
thirteenth. For that gallant
trip to the midwest, California
entertains a barnstorming Mis
souri quintet tonight, Utah
charges into the plains country,
and Bradley Tech repays the
compliment by visiting the moun
tains. All in all, the coming two
weeks will be ones of time-tables,
field goals and free throws for
various college students while
their non-athletic brethren are
at home absorbing mother's
cooking.
On the west coast either Ore
gon State or Washington is ex
pected to replace Washington
age. He never finished at the
bottom and never at the top
(barring 1936). One title in a
decade wasn't enough for the
Husky constituents.
Washington has long had a
reputation for being cantanker
ous, hyper-critical and down
right wolfish toward its football
coaches. Phelan worked, others
point out, in the uncomfortable
position of one whose job was
always insecure.
However, he did last 11 sea
sons which Is eons compared to
the average tenure in high
pressure football. Bagshaw be
fore him was hounded constant
ly but he lasted and lasted. We
have an idea that despite the
rather sudden dismissal of Phe
lan, the average college football
coach would look upon the
Washington job, wolves and all,
as fairly attractive and reason
ably permanent.

MARTINOVICH TOPS
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 OP)
Phil Martinovich of the New
York Americans is pro football's
leading field-goal kicker for
1942. American league records
show that his nine field goals
stand, the Pittsburgh Kid was
rated third with 3!) points. In
cluding four firsts. Bayvlew's
unexpected victory in the $100,
000 Santa Anita handicap was
good for 21 voters, two more
than Vic Ghezzi received for his
unexpected triumph In the PGA
championship tournament.
The ease with which the New
York Yankees triumphed In the
American league and the short
work they made of the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the world series, with
the help of Mickey Owen's costly
ninth-inning muff in the crucial
fourth game, came in for 18
tallies.
The Yanks topped by three the
collapse of the Stanford football
team, after going unbeaten in
1940, and by four Buddy Baer's
surprise showing against Louis
in May at Washington.
State while in the Southwest
conference Rice and Arkansas
are favored for the title the
Razorbacks held undisputedly a
year ago. In the east Dartmouth
seems headed for its fifth
straight Ivy league flag. Long
Island, Rhode Island State and
City college of New York are
other eastern powerhouses.
Iowa State, defending co
champion, looms as the Big Six
titlist with Oklahoma and Kan
sas always in the running. Ten
nessee, as long as it has Bernie
Mehen, is the choice in the south
western circuit.
this season beat by three Clark

Martinovich's longest boot, 44
yards, was a yard better than
Hinkle s best.

following publication of new,
rubber - restruction orders thati

sports officials, shop keepers:

At Chicago, for example. L. B.

"It stands to reason that if the
ban on civilian use of rubber re-!
mains in effect it will result in
the utter cessation of golf and
tennis, two of the main sports'

Although major league base-!
balls have rubber cores, the ;
horsehide sphere received little
attention, since Ed Barrow,

But no such condition existed
