Eugene places seven Klamath players on their all-opponent eleven and give state champion pretenders Marshf ield only four spots. They selected: Jerry Ford, Marshfield, as left end. Pat Patzke, Klamath, left tackle. Arlio Button, Marshfield, left guard. Phil Blohm, Klamath, center. Marvin Watson, Klam ath, right guard. Wayne Yan cey, Klamath, right tackle. Neil Mayfield, Klamath, right end. Ken Maine, Marshfield, quarter back. Ralph Foster, Klamath, left half. Jim O'Neale, Marsh field, right half. Don Mast, Klamath, fullback. Evidently Eugene believes the Pelicans have the stronger team and claim to the title. In Siskiyou county, north ern California, they select an all-county eleven. None of the teams involved were played by the Pelicans, but the mem bers of that team are interest ing all the same. Players se lected were: Left end, Charley Guenther, Yreka; left tackle. Silvio Sal vestrin. Weed: left guard, Mar ion Hull, Dunsmuix; center. Jerry Bianconi, Weed: right guard. Bob Giovanerti, Yreka: right tackle, Cordes Smith. Dunsmuir; right end, Vincent Padilla, Dunsmuir; quarter back. Robert Wheeler. Duns muir; left half. Don True, Yre ka; right half. Bill Slingsby, Yreka; fullback, Ivan Shaffer, Weed. t . ' Football enthusiast Phil Blod gett, who came up with a plan to end all arguments concerning state high school football titles, has also figured out a method to make his alma mater Michi gan the champion of the Big Ten conference. Working back ward from Michigan's record, he had them beating all the teams in the conference through a process of elimination. Of course, he admits, you can work this any way you want, depending upon where you start. I agree with Mr. Blodgett. It was the dizziest football season in many years. - ' Dave Bridge, city recreation director, who meets with the basketeers again this Friday evening in the city council chambers, is longing for some way to outfit his boys' with both clothes and managers. "Several teams are com posed of young boys who need the advantages of a basketball season to further their physi cal education for army uses," he said, "but we need older men to manage these boys so . the schools will okay the use of the gymnasiums to them. . Dave looks longingly at the suits the commercial league players will not be using this year there is no commercial league. "I wish these players would let us use the equipment for these younger boys," he sighs. "The commercial players can't use it. and we can."

Big Ten Chiefs Debate Playing Frosh Gridders CHICAGO, Dec. 9 (fP) The Big Ten's athletic chiefs debated today the question of whether to allow freshmen to participate on varsity teams to alleviate a threatened shortage of manpower this winter and next spring. While some schools hesitated, to back the proposed move too heartily, lest they be charged with seeking to profit by the use of outstanding first-year athletes now enrolled in their institu tions, the general sentiment was that abandonment of the fresh men rule would be for the good of the conference as a whole, assuring the continuation of the Big Ten's sports program. , The conference left no doubt of its intention to carry on ath letics to the fullest extent pos sible. What the average man likes about a girl is his arms.

In line with Scott s record of only seven fouls per game in last years Wildcat ball, this year's Pelicans will be coached in neat, clean basketball According to Scott, the state basketball tourney will be held as usual unless other arrange ments are made later. Grants Pass, he says, is the strongest team of the conference with nine lettermen returning from last year. Medford has a new coach Arnold but is probably weaker than Ashland.
