Horse Pen
May Be Cage
Meet Site
SALEM. Jan. I W) There la
a distinct possibility that the
state high school basketball
tournament next March will be
held In the horse show building
at the state fairgrounds, Instead
of in the Willamette university
gymnasium, where it has been
held for 23 years, Sports Editor
Ron Gemmell of the Oregon
Statesman said today.
The building would seat 8000,
but capacity could be increased
to 16,000 if additional seats were
Installed. The Willamette gym
nasium seats about 2500.
It would cost $3500 to Install
a removable floor in the horse
how building and to install cas
ket stands.
Gemmell said it is almost cer
tain that the tournament would
start March 10, a day early, mak
ing the meet last four days in
stead of three. This would make
It unnecessary to have more
than four games a day.

By JACK GUENTHER
DURHAM, N. C Jan. 2 (UP)
In a thrill-a-minute game which
had to be seen to be believed,
Oregon States' team of destiny
Thursday wrote the happy end
ing into the rags-to-riches foot
ball story of 1941.
Ridiculed as a strict defense
unit which couldn't run, couldn't
pass and couldn't spark up a
fighting spirit, the twice beaten
Pacific champions proved their
ability to do all three by turning
back the finest team in Duke
history for a tingling, 20-16 win
in the "exiled" 28th renewal of
the Rose bowl classic.
They call the Oregon boys
Beavers, and a busy bunch of
critters they were. They skipped
and rammed and flicked passes
with an ease and a finesse which
completely baffled the record
crowd of 56,000 persons who
thronged the bowl's temporary
home in Duke stadium.
The Beavers baffled Duke
pretty thoroughly, too. First they
doggedly marched 52 yards in
the opening period for the touch
down and conversion which put
them in front, 7-0. Then they
broke up a 7-7 tie in the third
with a long run and a long pass
which carried them 55 yards to
a second score for another lead
at 14-7.
Looped a Pats
Duke came back to knot the
count a second time at 14-14 a
few minutes later, but once again
the Beavers convinced the rain
pelted crowd that they could be
just as good as they wanted to
be. They ran back the kick-off
22 yards, picked up five more
on a penalty then put on' the
play of the day f or cjincsher. .
Bobby Dethman, one of the
many thorns Duke found in this
Rose bowl game, faded back
way back and looped a soft,
wobbly pass to Gene Gray. The
latter was surrounded by Duke
defenders, but he dodged, ' he
ducked and he didn't stop until
the play had covered 62 yards
for the winning touchdown.
Those are the bare facts of
the 1942 playing of the grand
daddy of all the New Years day
games, but you could scatter
superlatives from now, until next
December and you couldn't do
justice to the wildest and wool
iest game the city of Durham,
N. C, ever saw or is likely to
see again.
Oregon walked on the field
rated as a 1-3 underdog and
drew hardly a cheer but soon
produced plenty of gasps. They
hit Tom Davis, who took the
opening klckoff for Duke, so
hard that he fumbled. They
kept the ball for all but a min
utes of the period and climaxed
a 52-yard drive by breaking Don
Durdan 15 yards for a touch
down after lining up for a fake
pass formation.
When Duke did get the ball.
Easterners Will Lick West,
Says Mascot Jerry Glynn
By ROMNEY WHEELER
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2 UP)
Little Jerry Glynn says the East
will win and that ought to tell
most people where to put the
blue chips in tomorrow's 17th
annual Shrine East-West charity
all-star football game.
Jerry, a 14-year-old kid who
looks no bigger than a minute,
is the East's self-appointed mas
cot. If his luck is as good as it
has been in the past, . the East
erners have the decision wrapped
up and packed away before they
ever go onto the turf of Sugar
bowl stadium. For Jerry never
has been with a losing team.
His latest Job was helping his
high school football team win a
scholastic championship, and he
can reel off other achievements
if you give him half a chance.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 2 UP1
A speedy Butler university bas

Oregon State Beavers, 35-29, de
spite a height advantage enioved
by the Beavers. Butler led at
halftime, 21-8.
John Mandlc. Oregon State
center, led scoring with 12
points, followed by Forwards
Norris Bnd Schumacher of But
ler with 10 and 8, respectively.
the Blue Devils flashed the pow
er which carried them to nine
straight victories and the south'
em conference championship.
After Oregon had put on a sec
ond drive and raced to the Duke
21 before losing the ball, the
home team zipped 70 yards In
nine plays to tie up the ball
game the first time.
Davis and Big Steve Lach
gained 65 yards by themselves,
with Lach reversing around end
for four yards and the touch
down. Bob Gantt added the
point, and although the Blue
Devils had first down on the
five yard line when the gun
ended the half neither team
scored again until the thrill-
packed third period produced
three touchdowns.
Oregon made the first, and
the stands wailed in dismay
again. After driving 64 yards
only to be held on the Duke 11,
the orange-shirt ed northerners
moved 55 yards in three plays.
Gray skirted his left end for 24
yards then Dethman passed 30
yards to George Zellick and
Warren Simas again added the
point Then, in four minutes
time, the game went into an up
roar. Duke took the kickoff to its
36 and Lach used that deadly
reverse for 39 yards to the State
25. Hrere Oregon was penalized
24 yards for roughness and Win
ston Siegfried plunged for the
score on the first try and Tom
Prothro converted, making it a
deadlock again, this time at 14
14. But State was far from thru,
and a minute later the Beavers
were in front a third time.
Statistic Edge
It was Dethman pitching again
this time , on that 62-yard gain
to Gray and the safety scored
by Duke late in the fourth
quarter when Mike Karamazin
tackled Don Durdan behind his
goal wasn't enough to catch up
with the 20 Oregon points. The
game in effect ended with that
Dethman-Gray aerial, but every
last one of the 56,000 spectators
stayed to witness a hectic finish.

Lon Stiner Happy His "Boys

DURHAM, N. a, Jan. 2
(UP) Youthful Lon Stiner,
who arrived from the west
coast eight days ago complain
ing that his Oregon State foot
ball squad was underrated,
smiled happily in the dressing
room Thursday night and said
quietly that he was glad "the
boys showed 'em."
"I guess everybody knows
now that we play in a mighty
tough league," Stiner said as
he guarded the dressing room
door against milling crowd
of well wishers. "The boys
played fine football. I think
we looked pretty good out
there today, against a great
Duke team." .

Sugar, 2-0
73,000 Watch Safety Nip
Missouri in Rain Drenched
Contest at New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2 (UP)
Through a blanding sheet of rain,
two big mnroon-Jerseyed linemen
poured on top of a Missouri
punter in the first six minutes of
the Sugar Bowl game Thursday
and the kick bounded around bo-
hind the goal line and became a
safety which gave Fordham a 2-0
victory over the Big Six cham
pions. The lone score of one of the
wierdest football games ever
played came with dramatic sud
denness and the horrible weath
er conditions prevented most of
the 73,000 spectators from see
ing what happened. The few who
did see what happened didn't
understand it.
With rain coming down in
sheets and torrents and Mis
souri back on its own 10-yard
line Don Greenwood, Tiger sub
stitute end, dropped back to punt
out on third down. He barely got
the ball in his hands when Alex
SantiUi, 195-pound tackle from
Everett, Mass., came tearing in.
As the wet ball left Greenwood's
toe, it bounded into Santllll's
chest and careened crazily
around the end zone as Fordham
and Missouri players clutched at
it with muddy fingers.
Stanley Ritinski, 185-pound
left end from Luzerne, Pa., got
to it first. He dived at the rain
slogged ball and had it almost
in his possession. But he was
slithering across the Tuddy end
zone at about the same time he
got possession of the ball.
It All Happened
Ritinski and the ball finally
wound up across the end zone
line. The only question was
whether Ritinski had possession
of the ball before he went out
of the end zone. The officials
ruled he didn't. Therefore, the
flay was ruled a safety giving
Fordham two points.
It all happened at 5 minutes
and 29 seconds in the first per
iod. The rest of the way the mud
caked players battled with might
and main to score, but neither
was able to cross the other's 19.
The heralded offensive kick of
both teams was bottled and
corked by the most atrocious
weather imaginable. The rain
held off until a minute before
the game started. With the sun
still shining, it began to sprinkle.
Before many minutes, the rain
was coming down in silver sheets
that drenched players and spect
ators alike. It continued to rain
during most of the game, and
at one time in the third period
a scattering of hall stones also
peppered the bowl.
Missouri made two heroic ef
forts to pull the game out of the
fire in the second half. On the
kickoff Bob Steuber, Tigers' big
right halfback, almost broke
away, racing to Fordham's 48 on
a 34-yard run. Next, Steuber ran
to the Rams' 20 but he was called
back to the 33 for having stepped
out of bonds.

Orange Bowl Thursday as ho led

Sinkwich did everything but

stand-out aerial battles of the
season. He sparked Georgia's
three-touchdown first-period as
sault which put the Bulldogs
out in front 19-7. And only

Big Mass College Athletic
Program Launched for War
By CHARLES DUNKLEY
DETROIT, Jan. 2 P The greatest mass athletic program In
American college history was launched today In the Interest of
physical fitness and wartime morale.
Tho Intensive program was drmnndvd of the nation's football
coaches ond athletic leaders by Elwood A. Gelges ot Philadelphia,
newly appointed executive to John B. Kelly, United States di
rector of physical fitness.
Gelges Jolted the athletic leaders Into action by declaring that
the physical condition of the nation's men was deplorable; that 80
per cent of those examined for
military service could not oc
accepted because of their sub
normal condition, and that It wus
time the colleges and universities
realized the Importance of "com
pulsory competitive ond non
competitive activities."
"Unless the deplorable phy
sical defects are corrected,"
Gelges warned, "our military
and naval forces will be un
necessarily hampered In the
creation of an efficient fighting
machine."
Gelges' demand was for com
pulsory physical education and
athletics for all students so they
would bo prepared for tho rigors
of military duty, when and If
called.
Gelges carried his demand to
the College Physical Education
association, which is meeting
here concurrently with the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic asso
ciation and tho American Foot
ball Coaches association. His
plan calls for expansion rather
than obrldgement of collego ath
letics. '
In response, the athletic lead
ers who came to Detroit with a
wartime question program of
"what will the government ex
pect us to do?" pledged whole
heartedly to plungo Immediately
into an expansion of athletics
and physical education, with em
phasis on mass participation
rather than spectator interest.
There will be no curtailment of
football schedules next fall, or
baseball next spring or of any
other sports.
