CC Athletic Leaders
PORTLAND Srcial Oregon
Technical Institute was the center
o( conversation here Saturday in
one of the longest and drawn-out
Oregon Collegiate Conference ath
letic directors and coaches meet
ings in the history of the five
chool conference.
The conference meeting opened
at !) a.m. Saturday, and was fi
nally closed at 4:43 p.m., seven
hours and 43 minutes later.
Oregon Tech's football ineligi
bility case was the main topic on
the day-long agenda, and the Mile
High Campus will pay heavily for
their mistake if the conference
presidents adopt the recommenda
tions made by the athletic direc
tors and coaches.
After OTI rolled over the other
four conference teams in the re
cent football season, including a
66-7 win over Oregon College of
Education, Tech school officials
forfeited all of the OCC games
played by the Owls end declared
the school's first championship va
cant because they found that four
Oregon Tech ball players were
ineligible due to misinterpretation
of conference rules. After the an
nouncement by OTI director Win
ston D. Purvine, the .Mile High
Campus waited until yesterday's
meeting to see what possible ac
tion might be taken.
Judging from the conference
meeting, the athletic directors and
coaches were not satisfied with the
Owls giving up the conference title
and forfeiting the games. The Ore
gon Tech delegation, headed by
.lack Brookins, dean of instruc
tion and acting as athletic repre
sentative, and athletic director Rex
Hunsakcr, were i busy answering
questions and explaining the po
sition the school found itself after
the recent investigation.
Four recommendations were
made by the athletic directors and
coaches during Saturday's meet
ing as a result of the Oregon
Tech forfeiture. These proposals
will be passed on to the Oregon
Collegiate Conference presidents'
meeting scheduled here Decem
ber 15. Official action will be tak
en on the matter at this time.
During yesterday's meeting,
four of the five schools did all of
the- voting, with Oregon Tech
standing by awaiting the decision.
Portland State. Southern Oregon.
Eastern Oregon and Oregon Col
lege of Kducation are the other
OCC members.
The four recommendations'
were:
1. OQE be declared the Oregon
Collegiate Conference football
champion for 1938. (This motion
was made and seconded by A!
Akin and Ted Schopf, football
coach and athletic director at
Southern Oregon College. I
2. The coaches accepted the ex
pression by Oregon Tech that the
spirit and letter of the OCC consti
tution will be adhered to in the
future. (This motion was made
and seconded by Joe Holland,
athletic director at Portland State,
and Schopf.)
3. The ineligible Oregon Tech
ball players all will lose one year's
eligibility at OTI. (This motion
was moved and proposed by Bill
McArlhur, football coach of Ore
gon College of Kducation.)
4. All Oregon Tech ineligible
players were eliminated from all
star consideration. (This motion
was also moved by McArthur.)
In all, the only recommenda
tion that shocked the Oregon Tech
delegation in attendance was num
ber 3. This suggestion by the
coaches originating from Mc
Arlhur means that the four boys
involved in the eligibility case will
lose next year's Oregon Collegiate
Conference football eligibility. All
four of the boys are juniors this
year, which means their football
days are over if the president s
council accepts this recommenda
tion. This proposal seems a little se
vere in the light of Oregon Tech's
explanation of the problem. Pur
vine. in making the official fan
nouncen:ent Wednesday, Novem
ber It), said "It is a school mis
take and the boys are not at
fault."
The morning portion of the meet
ing was open to the members of
the press, but at 12:15. the group
met in "executive session" he
hind closed doors. Although no one
in attendance would comment, it
is understood that Hunsaker and
the Oregon Tech coaching staff
came in (or some bitter criticism
on the part of the other confer
ence athletic directors and coaches.
Archie Dunsmoor, elected to the
post of president of the athletic
directors and coaches association,
failed to comment on the closed
door meeting at 3:38 when the
executive session broke up. The
Eastern Oregon College football
mentor did say however, "These
four recommendations were made
because of OTI's non-conformance
of conference regulations."
Brookins. when reached after
the meeting, said, "The action of
the conference coaches was fair.
We were given a good hearing
and all the details were dis
cussed." Hunsaker. not quite as satisfied
with the outcome as Brookins.
thought the action taken against
the boys was completely out of
line. "This was a school mistake,"
Hunsaker remarked, "to why
should these guys (athletic direc
tors and coaches) penalize them .
(the boys) for something they had
nothing to do with. These kids
arc innocent, and under no cir- .
cumslances should they be hurt
and lose a year's eligibility. They
have already paid a high price for
the 'error." the Tech athletic di
rector and football coach com
mented. Hunsaker added, "I only hop
the conference presidents will real
ize this fact and free the boys of
any punishment."
The last hour of the conference
meeting was used to pick an all
conference team. The coaches se
lections will he announced next
Sunday.

"SSi CLAYTON HAVNOW
The Pacific Coast Conference may be dead, but there
v as still enough kick in the long-standing circuit to make
a mockery out of its last few months of life. The schools
of greater learning in Los Angeles, University of Southern
California and UCLA took it upon themselves this past
week to see that the Coast Conference didn't die without
a parting salvo.
Most everyone acquainted with the PCC knew that
our friends in the deep southlands were somewhat on the
disagreeahle side. But never did these trusting souls think
that the Trojans and Uclans would pull the low hlow that
put an end to any chance Washington State College had of
praying in a post-season bow l game.
USC and UCLA of all people used a conference tech
nicality to stop the Cougars from accepting a howl offer, if and when
any such offer was made. Trojan and Bruin officials expressed
"sorrow" in bringing up the forgotten item and therefore buried a
request by WSC to accept a bowl bid if the chance arose. And the
so-called sorrow came right from the heart you bet.
The most amusing part of this ri-
diculous story is that . USC and
UCLA are using the same rules
that they repelled a short time ago
when called upon the carpet for il
legal recruiting and unethical prac
tices. It's these same rules that
USC and UCLA blame for the
breakup of the Pacilic Coast Con
ference. It's these same rules that
USC and UCLA said are not proper
to govern an athletic conference.
Why then, do the Trojans and
Uclans take such pride in standing
by these "no-good" PCC rules and
hold Washington State back from a
possible New Year's Day post-season
football game? Your guess is
as good as ours.
We doubt if California and Wash
ington, the other two members of
the "Big Four" are very proud of
their counterpart. It's something to
be proud of. Even Calilornia ana
Washington gave their stamp of ap
proval to such a plan. Could it be
that the "Big Four" is coming
around to the point where even in
a league with only four members
which hasn't been officially
formed the count is two against
two? And the two against are USC
and UCLA, as usual.
There are some wondering why
Washington State even asked per
mission for such a venture. Why
do they need to? There is no more
Pacific Coast Conference. There
are no more conference rules to
f o M o w. Who w ould slap them
down? As long as WSC is a mem
ber in good standing with the NCAA
nothing could be done.
So, why did W!SC ask? The peo
ple in Cougarville thought it was
the proper thing to do.
The final statistics of the past
Pacific Coast Conference football
season arc interesting.
California, the team to represent
the PCC in the Rose Bowl this
cqming New Year's Day, won the
conference title with a good offense
and no defense. This sort of throws
cur theory of defense-above-offensc
to the birds.
Oregon on the other hand, led the
loop in total defensive figures, and
finished halfway down the final
standings in fifth place. Washing
ton State, the team that just missed
the invitation to roses, settled sec
ond in total offense and second in
total defense for a happy medium.
California gained an average of
914.9 yards per game. But the Cali
fort.ia defense gave up an average
of 320.1 per contest. Cal's defensive
pfforts were second lowest only to
Stanford. Oregon's defense limited
forces to an average of 204.1 per
game.
The Rose Bowl game should be a
dandy for scorekeepers if Cal and
Iowa play their usual game. Iowa
Is the nation's leading offensive
team, having averaged 405.9 yards

Is there a trend In the National
Football League to play a little de
fense this year?
In the past few seasons, NFL
fans have been treated to some of
the highest scoring football ever
known to man. Games ending in
43-40, 40-46, 45-42 and other such
margins were not uncommon. But
this year, there seems to be a vote
here and there in lavor ol delense.
Going into today's five league
games, there have been four shut
outs in the NFL. Blanking a pro
football team in the scoring col
umn is not the easiest task to per
form. Especially with the long field
goal kickers and the ' explosive
wide-open offenses that are now
employed by the 12 league mem
bers.
Following are just a few scores
that indicate the NFL also plays a
little defense:
New York 30, Washington 0:
Pittsburgh 24, Philadelphia 3: Bal

ate of Klamath Union High School
and now a senior at the University
of Colorado, was named to The
Associated Press' Big Eight All-
Conference team this past week
Jack is a senior and has won his
third football award for the Buffs.
The ex Pelican lineman was
named as a first team all-confer
ence tackle along with Oklahoma
tackle Gilmer Lewis. Jack, who
sunn's 6-3 and weighs 217, was
picked over several very fine Big
Eight tackles, making his selection
a real plum.
Two other highly publicized Colo
rado linemen, Bob Salerno and
John Wooten, both being boomed
for all - American honors landed
honorable mention nositions.
Himelwnght has reportedly
turned down an offer to play in
he Senior Bowl game later this
year. He has planned to wrestle
this winter and if he accepted the
Senior Bowl bid he would receive
a monetary reward and thereby
become ineligible to wrestle. It is
possible that he will receive anoth'
cr bowl bid of some fashion.
Jack was also tabbed by United
Press International on its 10.iB nil
American team in the honorable
mention list. That in itself is quite
a feat.

In OCC Cage Season
By CLAYTON MANNON
Herald and News Sports Writer
A new champion is expected to
be crowned in the Oregon Collegi
ate Conference basketball race
now facing the five conference
members this season. But the Ore
gon Tech Owls will go down swing
ing . if they are to be displaced
from the throne room they have
occupied the past two years.
Coach Walty I'almberg s o w i s
are in the middle of a drastic re
building program, and are feeling
the effects of heavy losses by last
spring's graduation. Meanwhile.
Portland State and Eastern Oregon
are on the upswing in basketball
power.
Southern Oregon and Oregon Col
lege of Education, the other two
conference members, are just sit
ting back and waiting to see what
happens when the firing starts in
January. While Portland State and
Eastern Oregon seem to draw the
most pre-season support for title
chances, the other three schools
will be watched closely during pre
season competition which starts
this coming week.
Palmberg s defending champions
could establish a precedent by win
ning the third consecutive champi
onship for the Mile High Campus.
But standing in the path of a
thrce-in-a-row effort on the part of
the Techmcn are the Wolves and
Vikings.
Coach Sharkey Nelson's PSC
squad has Johnny Winters, the
great little all-around all-conference
star and last year's confer
ence scoring leader to guide the
Viking cause. With Winters will
be John Fredrick and Stan Wen-
cr, the latter a 6-6 center, bacn
from last year's squad. Also show
ing lots of promise and slated to
be one of the finest basketball
players in the conference's history
is Bcrnie Jones, a Detroit eager
who comes to the Northwest via
Citrus JC in California.

engulfed by swarms of Merrill

charged onto the field to boost
their heroes high in the air.
Following his laughing dip in the
showers, winning coach Keck
roared his approval of the way his
club had handled their inspiring
march to the state championship.
Everyone of them played a won
derful game. You can't single out
anyone who tried harder than the

Keck concluded.

After all, I don't think we have to
