Newspaper Page TextFootball Freaks Fill '46 With Goofy Grid Events Field Pared To 80 Yards NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (Pj The whacky weekly results probably should rate as the prize oddities of the regular 1946 football cam paign but there were enough Screwy nuppeuuiKa on mio to make even some of the beaten coaches smile. The elements had a hand, In a couple of unusual occurrences out in the west. The Utah-Colorado A. and M. game at Fort Collins, Colo., was delayed by a storm. The periods were cut and the snow, cleared from the field. was piled in the end zones. So when a team reacnea me lu-yara line, the ball was moved back to the 20-yard line, the 10-yard line became the goal and the space between the 10 and the regular goal line was the end xone. It was snowing but it was a blustery cold day when Washing ton and California hooked up in Pacific coast conference con test Gerry Austin, Washington's -vUiii'd string quarterback, didn't figure he would see any action In an important game like that so he put on an extra set of long underwear to make himself more comfortable on the bench. Hot in Longiet . But Washington's first two quarterbacks got hurt and Aus tin was sent into the game. He got hot in more ways than one and reeled off two touchdowns. The extra set of longies was dis carded at the end of the half. Paul Crowe, St. Mary's half back, was an awfully mad gent for a while in the California tilt. With a clear field ahead and en route to a touchdown an official ran into his path and Crowe went sprawling to the turf. Crowe wasn't as burned up as Stanford on one play in the Washington State set-to. With Stanford on the offense an arbi ter took a position so close to the play that the Indians couldn't shift. By the time the official withdrew and the shift was com pleted, the play was stopped and Stanford was penalized five yards for taking too much time. Credit With Assist Quick action on unexpected plays brought up a number of other oddities. Bowling Green of Ohio capitalized on a freak play to whip Canisius 13-7. With Cani , sius ahead 7-6, Jack Freitas flung an apparently nopeiess unio pass into uic vtuiiaius citu &uuc v.aiii- sius' Bug Agnew knocked it earthward but it struck Darrell Braatz, lying on his back, bound ed off him and into the hands of Mark Welker, also on the ground, for the winning touchdown. Something akin to that hap pened at the Idaho-Marquette game. A Marquette back fum bled on his own 20 and rolled the ball back 15 yards while trying to pick it up. When he finally got the handle of the ball and turned around, Idaho play ers were swarming in on him. So he passed the ball into the end zone where a surprised team mate grabbed it for a touchdown. Youngsters Count Other oddities include Miami of Ohio playing Miami of Flor ida, driving reporters and radio announcers half batty trying to figure ways to make their de scriptions sound clear; Louisiana State beating Tulane 41-27 with all ten touchdowns scored by freshmen. And then there was Baylor which would have liked its little oddity to have happened to some other team. Baylor won the toss before every conference game they played. They lost every game.

JKi" 4" or KLAMATH MACHINE and LOCOMOTIVE MILL SUPPLY DEPARTMENT Spring and Elm Handbook Of Racehorse And Track Lore Of all the handout literature that finds Its way to this desk the best is a booklet which 1 am adding to my personal library, which up until now has consisted of three copies of "Forever Amber" and the 1946 football rules. Name of the book is "Call Me Horse," a collection of fact and fancy about the track and horses and horse plavers gotten together by Tom R. Underwood and John I. Day, of the Thoroughbred Racing association. It was sent gratis, but comes as near being worth 25 cents as any of the current works of literature, pocket-book size. "Call Me Horse" is a thin volume of 117 pages, priced $2, with such information of value to anyone with a passing interest in the nags as these bits: Whirlawav's lifetime winnings of $561,161 is high, Sun Beau's $376,744 - ypars until Seabiscuit totaled $437,730." Man o' War dragged down only $247,465. Domino, another good horse, won only $193,650, but when Man o' War and Domino were racing purses were mighty slim, com pared to nowadays. They were even slimmer in the 80s. The first thoroughbred to top a hundred grand was Miss Woodford, who won 37 of 48 races for $118,270. Firenzi (circa 1884) came in first in 47 of 82 gallops for $112,586. Kincsen, greatest of German horses in the same era, won only S99.800. A bangtail called Los Angeles, started 110 times in 1885, finished ahead of the field 48 times and brought home $97,416 for his boss, but down in Mexico, also a great horse racing country, in 1910 a nag called Pan Zareta started 151 times, placed first in 76, and only won $39,082. That's hardly enough to class him as professional. Won't Be An Atomic Bomb For 15 Years I can't seem to put this book down. Man o' War as a colt was bought for $5000, Alsab for $700 . . . In 1903 at an Australian race three horses finished in a dead heat ... in a runoff they again finished in a dead heat and the owners split the pot. Salem, New Hampshire, paid a town debt of $194,000 and put $52,000 in the bank when a race track opened there . . . There were 359 dead heats pictured in photographic finishes in 1945 . . . In 1885 at Newmarket, England, four of five horses in a race ran a dead heat ... Spendthrift, a great horse in old Kentucky, had a brother named Miser . . . Back in 1773 an English nobleman named a colt Potatoes and instructed a 6emi-literate stablehand to paint the name on the horse's stall . . . The boy wrote "potoooooooo" and the horse was registered and raced as Pot-8-os . . . Thoroughbred Racing association assigns names to owners, with the reservation that any one name used can't be used again for 15 years ... so there won't be a bangtail racing under the cognomen of Atomic Bomb at least until after 1960 . . . the name was assigned to Mrs. Elizabeth Graham's Maine Chance farm, intended for a colt there ... But Mrs. Graham changed her mind and tabbed the colt Admiralgeneral . . . and Admiralgeneral died in the Arlington Park fire early this year, so both names are on the shelf for 15 years.

Promises To KO Lesnevich PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10 (IP) Billy Fox, fresh from his 42nd knockout in 42 professional fights, promised today that he'd flatten Gus Lesnevich in Feb ruary and lift the light-heavyweight title. Blackjack Billy tangles with the Cliffside. N. J., titleholder at Madison Square Garden Feb ruary 28. The 20-year-old Philadelphia fistic sensation unleased a bar rage of body blows last night to knock out Shelton Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, at 1:51 of the fifth round of their scheduled 10-rounder at the arena. A crowd of 5682 who paid $17,976 watched the Fox, 176, stumble through a first round in which Bell, who scaled 173, danced in and out of close quar ters with sniping jabs. But Fox kept moving in and staggered the Ohioan with a right to the jaw in the second. From then on in Fox pounded his foe relentlessly, sending -him Friendly Helpfulness To Every Creed and Puns Ward's Klamath Funeral Home Marguerite M.

Notre Dame Best, Going And Stopping NEW YORK, Dec. 10 iP For the first time In history, the aerial-minded Southwest conference has failed to produce the nation's "passlngost'' college football team. That distinction belonged today to Oklahoma A. and M. col lege, which hurled 252 forward passes during the 1046 season, more than any other collegiate eleven. Statistics released by tbe National Collegiate Athlutlo Bureau also disclosed that Nevada compiled the best yardage averago on passes, that Pennsylvania's passers were the most accurate and that the fans who saw the most passing were those who fqllowed the nil-victorious Georgia Bulldogs. Oklahoma A. and M., among the passing leaders of recent years, tossed 11 more passes than Arizona State at Tempe, the second high-throwing team, principally because the Okluhommii wore spending most of their time this year trying to come from behind. Georgia, in addition to com pleting Die most passes and the most touchdown passes, also had more passes thrown against it than any other team. While the Bulldogs were completing 112 of 206 tosses, their 10 opponents were burling 217 forwards, com pleting 84 of them. Thus those who sat In the stands when Georgia was on the field saw an average of more than 42 passes thrown per game. Notre Dame, the country's No. 1 team, led the nation in com bined offense and also compiled the best defensive records to be come the first team in 'history to take top honors in both depart ments. The fighting Irish rolled up 3061 yards on the ground in nine games to lead the list in rushing and covered 911 yards on passes for a total of 3972 and a combined average of 441.3 yards per game. On the defensive side, Notre Dame held its nine opponents to an average of 141.7 yards per game by both rushing and pass ing. Oklahoma completed the sea son with the best defensive rec ord against running plays, hold ing 10 opponents to an average of 58 yards per game on the ground. Holy Cross had the best defen sive record against passes for the second straight year with an average yield of 53.7 yards per game. Texas Mines took the punting title, averaging 41.2 yards on 64 kicks in nine games. UCLA, the only Pacific coast team to earn mention among the top 10 in each division, was fifth in rushing offense with a 259.8 yard average per game.

Dr. Herman Wtxler, Director Cazell Gets Return Bout Big Ike Cazell, heavyweight of the local rassling ring, gels an other crack at that tough nut, the Grey Mask, In the mainliner of Thursday night's card at the armory. The match between the two big guys will be on a winner take all, straig-ht time, to be de cided by two falls out of three There will be only two-minute rest period for the gladiators after each fall. In a concession to Cazell, who has a terrific amount of trouble with arbiters, the men have de cided to allow the referee to re main out of the ring and come in only when one muscler concedes a fall or something drastic goes wrong. Last time the Mask and Cazell met Ike had the fight won but was disqualified and sent to the showers for bickering with Ref eree Norval Stockstill. The bick ering went to the point where Cazell booted Norval out of the ring. Preliminary to the big scrap will be two smaller sized bouts. In a four rounder, Buck David son will tangle with the Bronx ite, Sammie Cohen, and in the three-heat opener Billy, Fox and airplane-spinning Billv Wcidner are slated to get together. 3 Beavers Picked COR V ALUS, Dec. 10 (IPy Three Oregon State college foot ball players have accepted invi tations to play in the annual East-West New Year's Day game in San Francisco.
