f NEW YORK, Dec. 24 (Wide
World) How come? It'i been
wholt day since Spike Nelson
quit and nobody yet has hinted
that Jock Sutherland has the in
side track for the Yale coaching
Job. . . . Don Barnes says the
Brosn had a "real solid offer" to
move to Los Angeles and the
sponsors of the plan were willing
to guarantee a minimum for
clubs traveling out there. . . .
After getting the Louis-Baer
ticket sale started, Mike Jacobs
has gone to Miami for the holi
days. . . . Remember how the
California scribes blasted Duke
for not taking a band to the
Rose Bowl in '39? . . . Oregon
State isn't taking one to Dur
ham, either, but Davidson col
lege is lending, its footers to the
Beavers for the occasion. . . .
Golf -ball manufacturers say any
shortage will hit the cheap balls
first, because they take just as
much rubber and don't last as
long as the 75c and $1 pills.

Coach Wallace Wade would
rather suffer from a new head
cold after the Rose Bowl game

about headaches Instead of head
oolds. Scoop? Is Wade used to
them?

Nat Fleischer finally has his
"all time ring record book"
ready for delivery. .... It runs
544 pages, twice as long as orig
inally planned. . . . Biggest de
lay was caused by the printer's
natural mistake in calling it the
"muddleweight' class. . . . Verne
Miller, Harvard's 292-pound tac

because of his size. . . . Might
have been more accurate to say
"uniforms dont fit."

Arrive
At Duke
Staters Train-weary
From Transcontinental
Trek; Stay at Chapel Hill
DURHAM, N. a, Dec. 24 (VP)
A travel-weary Oregon State
football team arrived here today
to begin preparation for the
transplanted "Rose bowl" game
with the Duke Blue Devils New
Year's day.
Two thousand spectators and
the Durham high school band
were at the station when the
Beavers' train pulled in.
After a breakfast at a down
town hotel at which Coach Lon
Stiner of the Beavers, Coach
Wallace Wade of the Blue Dev
ils, Dr. R. L. Flowers, president
of Duke, and other notables and
the Oregon State footballers
were introduced the visitors mo
tored to nearby Chapel Hill
where they will bivouac.
Stiner said that his boys were
unusually tired after the long
trip from Corvallis, Ore., but
that a practice session was sched
uled this afternoon at the Uni
versity of North Carolina's Ke
nan stadium.
At the breakfast, where Stiner
said "We'll be on the receiving
end of this grand southern hospi
tality until New Year's day," Ma
yor W. S. Carr gave the princi
pal welcome address.
- Carr also appointed Capt. Mar
tin Chaves of the Oregon Staters
"acting mayor of Durham."
Wade, reticent as usual, was
content with an introduction at
the breakfast.
"A Merry Christmas to the
Oregon State football team
with reservations about the Hap
py New Year," placards in the
hotel breakfast room proclaimed.

Lou Novikoff Dizzier
Than Dizzy Dean's Best
By TED MEIER
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24 Lou Novikoff. outfielder for
the Chicago Cubs, is dizzier than was Dizzy Dean at his prime.
That's what Jimmy Wilson, manager of the Cubs, said here
on a visit. And he ought to know. For Wilson was a team
mate of Ole' Diz on the St. Louis Cardinals and last year
managed Novikoff, known as the "Mad Russian."
Novikoff was the leading slugger in the Pacific Coast
league in 1940. He came up to the Cubs with a lot of fan
fare last spring. But his hitting was virtually nil and his
fielding worse. He was farmed out to Milwaukee where his
clouting earned him another chance.
"I don't know whether he will make the grade or not,"
Wilson declared. "He is still caught off stride and fooled by
a change of pace outside, hits in front of the ball and beats
it into the dirt, although on some days he knocks the pill out
of the park without half trying."
"Still, he's quite a guy," Wilson went on. "He's given
me a lot of laughs and I can't stay mad at him."
"During the spring (Npvikoff was hitting a mere .190) when
he was going bad I asked him have I hurt you in any way?'
He thought a moment. 'Yes, you broke my heart.' 'What, I
said in surprise! What did I do?' 'You took me out for a
pinch hitter he replied."

Cleveland Named
1941 Disappointment
By ORLO ROBERTSON
NEW YORK, Dec. 24 (AP The doubtful honor of being
dubbed the No. 1 disappointment of the year goes to the Cleve
land Indians without murh of an argumont.
By a mnrgin of almost two to one, the Indians beat out Lou
Nova of the cosmic punch in the opinion of 83 sports writers
participating in tho Associated Press' annual poll. Thirty-one of
the experts said the Tribe's slide into a tie for fourth place, 28
games back of tho champion Yankees of the American league,
after finishing only a gnmo out of the top spot in 1940, win
proof that Roger Pecklnpnugh's boys deservo tho distinction.
Lou Novn, who after a groat
buildup was knocked out in the
sixth round by Champion Joe
Louis last summer, received 16
votes. One writer split his bal
lot between Nova tho Yogi and
tho Indians.
The remaining votes were
scattered among 16 athletes and
teams. Louis Norman Newsom.
the big Detroit pitcher, better
known as Bo Bo, was the No. 1
failure in the opinion of eight
writers. Newsom won only 12
and lost 20 games and his earncd
run average slipped to 4.61 last
season after ho pitched the Tig
ers to the American lenguo pen
nant in 1940 with a 21-5 record
and an earncd-run mark of 2.83.

TACOMA. Wash., Dec. 24 (VP)
Coach Cliff Olson of the Pacific
Lutheran football team thought
a lot of his boys, and his wife
agreed.
So when they picked a name
for their newly-adopted son,
what should it be but Marvin
James?
The Marvin was for Olson's
two "Marvelous Marvs," Tom
mervik and Harshman, graduat
ing seniors and the big stars of
northwest small college football
the past two years. Marv (Tomy
gun) Tommervik has won a half
back's berth on the Associated
Press Little All-American foot
ball team both the past two years
and Fullback Harshman, honor
able mention the past season.
The James was . for Dave
