THE KLAMATH NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OKEGON October 13, 1933 Oregon Finds New Football Sensation Maury Van Vliet, 145. Pound B c k f i I d "Unknown," It Uu dor Cover Man for Game With Wash. 1 n 1 1 o n. Youngster Won Columbia Came For Webfoota. Peli can Hare Schedule Troubles. Lewi Mo Aninch Will Start Against Frosh on Modoc Field. Prink Calllson, at thorough ly skeptical at any football coach in the country, thinks but bt Isn't quit tars ht has discovered as fins an Ore gon backtleld threat sine tbs days ot Johnny Kitsmillsr. The yiiil man, Maury Van Vllet, walked into Callison's of fice at McAr thor court two weeks after the practice season trtd. Prink, considering; the little fellow Just another can didate tor the lowest ranks ot ths reeerret, issued him a uni form and completely forgot the Incident. Today, rust en the verge ot Oregon's Important contest with the University of Washington at Seattle Saturday, this 145 pound youth from Southern California standi out at one of the key men In the Webfoot attack. e e e ' Tan Yliet came to Oregon unsolicited from some junior college la the South, and. If the Information of Bud Travis ot Eugene it correct, the Web toot coaching staff has been so spellbound by hit ability, no effort hat been made to ascer tain hit gridiron origins. Cel lison only knows his eligibility record It acceptable. Travis, who saw Oregon win a close one from Columbia Uni versity of Portland, has this story to tell about the new youngster: "Oregon has a new under over man called Van Vllet, and In my opinion he It the coming wonder ot the Pacific Coast conference. Ko one ever heard ot him until he turned out tor practice weeks after the teaton opened. "Prink saw him come oat on the field and asked him It he ould play. The youngster aald he could play backtleld pretty good because he knew how to punt and pass. "Calllson gave him the ball and told him to punt. The first ont went about SO yards and the second one soared down the field nearly eS. "Prink shifted him Into the second string backfield right away. The kid. made a touch down about every other play, threw teven ttrtlght passes that were completed for about a total of 160 yards, and kicked the varsity ragged. "Van Vllet sat on ths bench throngh the Llnfield game, the first one of the season. He made the trip to Spokane to play Goniaga, bnt still warmed the bench. One thing, though, he didn't give up. "Along came Columbia and the Webtoota simply couldn't get going. Calllson shoved Van Vllet Into the lineup, and on the first play he tmathed tackle for EO yards and a touchdown. That touchdown gave Ore gon the lead, and It appeared as though the game was safe. The Irishmen, however, tied the contest In the second half, and In went Van Vllet to save the battle. "In the last five minutes of play ha started the pass win ning for Oregon. "Watch him go against the Huskies, for the Huskies don't know a thing about him," e e With a threat like that Ore gon might disappoint the Hus kies for the sixth successlvs season. e e Schedule troubles have trav eled through the season with the Klamath Pelicans. Here the football year Is nearly a month eld, and ths Pelicans have but one more major con test for Modoc field. Ashland rather kicked over the program this week by can celling Saturday's game. Ths ftult wat tntlrely with the val ley school, and even though ar rangements were made to make the game possible, the refusal eonldn't be lifted.

No call was made, to, as far as the Pelicans knew, the game was "on." Tuesday Ashland said It had a game with Lakevlew. Lake view agreed to give way to Klamath Falls, but Ashland wouldn't budge.

"Fuel that Satisfies Plus Service" BOXING Philadelphia Player Tops American Loop As Most Valuable. By ALAN GOULD Associated Press S porta Editor NEW YORK. Oct. 11. (API- James Emory Foxx, the home run king ot the major leagues, was named by the baseball experts today as the American league's "most valuable player" for the second successive year. Yt league"have ever gained this ex traordinary distinction. Walter Johnson, when he was the "big train" ot Washington s pitching staff, captured the award in 1913 and repeated la 1924. the year he helped the Senators win their first world series. Rogers Hornsby won the National league "most valuable player" contest In 1915 and repeated in 1119. Senators Favored Foxx was selected for top hon ors again by a committee repre- aentlng the baseball writers' as sociation of America, ot which Denman Thompson of the Wash ington star acted as chairman. The slugging first baseman of the Athletics was given a brisk run In the voting by two Wash' ington rivals, Manager Joe Cron- in and Heinle Manush, but emerged with a clean-cut margin. Decisive factors in favor ot Foxx were that, in addition to retain ing tbe home run crown, h led all the American league hitters with an official mark ot .356 and topped the clouters of both big leagues In runs batted in, with 159. In the opinion of Cronln. his closest rival and a former win ner of the award. Foxx is "the greatest all-around ball player in the game today." Stars Rank Fourth Ballots were cast by eight members ot the writers' commit tee, each listing ten players In the order ot preference. Points were awarded on the basis ot ten tor first place, nine for sec ond, and so on. Foxx wss named the Ko. 1 star by tour experts and totalled 74 points out of a possible maxi mum of 80. He was rated sec ond by three writers and fourth by one. Cronln and Manush each received two first place nominations, collecting 61 and 54 points respectively. Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, Lefty Grove of the Athletics and Charley Gehringer ot the Tlgors were ranked fourth, fifth and sixth. For the first time since 1927, Babe Ruth did not re ceive a vote or so much as hon orabls mention. The selection of Foxx marks the fourth time In six years that a member of the Athletics has been chosen for the American league honor. Mickey Cochrane in 1928 and Bob Grove tn 1931 preceded the first baseman in winning recognition at the most valuable.
