Take Pair
From East
By Tht Associated Press
Basketball teams from Oregon
State college and the University
of Washington retrieved some
of the Pacific Coast's fallen ath
letic reputation which suffered
during the football season when
the two quintets defeated eastern
teams Saturday night at Buffalo
and Philadelphia.
At Philadelphia the Huskies
decisively outplayed and out
scored Temple, exhibiting spec
tacular shooting and smooth
floor play that amazed the al
most 6000 spectators to win 64
86. The Temple squad played on
even terms for tha first 15 min
utes but the Huskies pulled away
to lead 36-26 at half time and
increased this to 46-27 before
the Owls found their scoring
eye again.
Chuck Gllmur and Doug Ford,
hooting with either hand, led
scoring with 18 and 10 points
respectively, for the westerners.
Not as decisively victorious
was Oregon State over St. Bona
venture at Buffalo, but the Ore
gonians led throughout, running
up a 16-8 lead midway in the
first half behind the one-handed
shooting of Georgo McNutt and
Paul Valcnti. Scoring rallies
of the Bonnics were nipped and
the western team finished on the
winning end of a 38-33 count.
t Frank Zabowski of St. Bona
venture shared scoring honors
with McNutt with 11 points each.
CHANCE FOR STAINBACK
NEW YORK If the Yankees
cannot make a deal for a right

A wide-open passing game was

Two coaches of leading south

of them was pessimistic abou,t
his chances.
Delicate Dell Morgan, the big
230-pounder who guided the
Texas Tech Red Raiders to nine

By SID FEDER
DURHAM. N. C, Dec. 29 UP)
The governor of North Carolina
may have told the governor of
South Carolina the answer, and
a couple of hundred thousand
Dixie fans probably agree, but
to Coach Wallace Wade this
rambler Rose bowl game is all a
mystery.
In fact, the slim soft-spoken
Sage of the South wouldn't feel
at all hurt right this minute if a
competent Swami gave him the
low-down on the collision of his
Dukes and Oregon State's Beav
ers in Duke stadium Thursday.
To Dixie partisans who figure
Duke goes along with death,
taxes and fried chicken as sure
things, this stand of Coach Wal
lace is just so much of that stuff
you slice thin and put between
two pieces of bread, but Wade
says the whole picture just
doesn't add up.
"I don't see how I can be any
thing else than a mystery," he
pointed out today as the van
guard of a sell-out crowd of 56,
000 poured into Tobacco town.
"After all, whatever we know
about Oregon State, and what
ever they know about us is all
second-hand information. We're
both playing a guessing game."
Now this is not a crying towel
act. Coach Wade just can't
make a prediction, although you
can plainly see that if his boys
don't win this one, he's going to
be mighty surprised.
"Yet," he went on, "the Pa
cific Coast champion has beaten
the eastern representative in the
Rose bowl three straight years
now. And I can't see that there's
so much difference this year that
they're making us 1 to 3 favor
ites to change the East's luck.
Be that as it may, no one
around this football-wacky belt
shares Coach Wade's mystifica
tion, and those who saw this
Duke team sweep its season
point out that the chief reason
the Blue Devils are a cinch is
because of their ends. Of course
there's Steve Lach carrying the
mail, but the local experts talk
about the Duke end-around plays
that hit the jackpot and the
enemy defenses in game after
game this year.

Don't take my word for it.
That's what the rival coaches,
Don Faurot of Missouri and
Jimmy Crowley of Fordham, and
the players on both clubs all

Jack Crain Paces 'Gray'
In Annuol Grid Gamo
By FORREST CASTLEBERRY
MONTGOMERY. Ala., Dec. 2!)
(UP) Tho South, in top form
under the inspired running unci
passing of Texus' Jack Cruin,
whipped the North 10 to 0 here
Saturday in the annual "Blue
and Gray" game between college
stars uf the two sections.
A crowd of 15.50U partisan
fans from this side of the Mason
and Dixon line saw the fourth
annual post-season contest, a
scries In which the standing now
is two victories each.
Crain doniiniitt'd the game
for the gruy-clad southerners,
setting up a field goul chance in
the second period with a 115
yard run, and making a 22 yard
broken field dush in the third
quarter to put the bull in touch
down territory. He climaxed
his day will) un 18-yard puss for
the final touchdown in the lust
period.
Close behind Crain for honors
was little Junic lloviuus of Mis
sissippi. In addition to effective
running and passing he was an
effective tackier.
Costly penalties or intercep
tions cost the northerns their
few scoring chances and the
"Blue" team defense was spotty.
Only once did the North make
a serious threat. In the fourth
period big Jackie Hunt of little
Marshall college gained 24 yards
to the eight on a puss from Andy
Tomasic of Temple. The South
held for three downs and then
Tomasic was thrown for a 20
varri loss bv Georffe Fruits of
Clemson. '
Bosh Phtchard, VMI back,
passed effectively for the South
and his recovery of u fumbled
quick-kick, on the North 37, set
up the final score.
The Southern victory came in
a game which began slowly with
tentative line tries and in the
second half became a wild melee
of passes, fumbles and trick
plays.

"Tradition and priorities de
mand that we again voluntarily

Capt. Rickcnbacker. "The 500-1

ture of rubber, fuel, oil and many
intricate motor parts as well as
