Two thousand spectators and the Durham high school band were at the station when the Beavers' train pulled in.

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.

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." I'AGK EIGHT Docombor 21, 1011 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. Lute Coach Names Son For 'Marys' 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.
