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.
The gamt was scheduled sev
eral weeks ago, and tbe Ash
land principal was to Inform
the Klamath officials within
the next day or so It there were
any reasons why the game
couldn't be plsyed.
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.

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.

A man to match the roughness
ot Al Karaslck, George Wilson,

an ex-AU-Anierlcan from the Uni

will be given an opportunity to

can upset the Lion from Portland.
Karaslck, the most tuccesetul

over Wilson (or two reasons. The
Lion seeks to avenge a defeat at
Portland last week, and he alto
wants another chance to clssh

leading contender for ths belt,
Ktrtalck lost to Sonnenborg on

The Wilson - Karaslck match
continued to hold high attractive
ness to Klamatb Falls wrestling

man from Seattle would be able
to shake the long ttrlng ot vlc

Wilson will have a five-pound
weight advantage. He will go
Into the ring at 195 pound, to
Karaslck at 190. .Mack Llllard,

the finest match of the season.
