DeViff Urges Move on Pasadena Gov. Olson of California Instructs Tournament Directors to Cancel New Year Festival. SACRAMENTO, Calif. Gov. Culbert L.

Olson telegraphed Pasadena authorities Saturday night, forwarding a request of the army that the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and. the Rose Bowl game between Duke university and Oregon State college on New Year's day be canceled. Dave Foutz, secretary to the rovernor, said the governor telegraphed Pasadena's city directors that Lieutenant General John L. De Witt, commander of the Fourth army, believed the tournament and the football game should be railed off "for reasons of national defense and civilian protection." The governor sent the following telegram to A. I.

Stewart, chairman of the city board of directors of Pasadena. "General John L. De Witt commanding general, western defense command, has requested that the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and Rose Bowl football game scheduled for New Year's day be not held and that arrangements be abandoned for reasons of national defense and civilian protection. "I join with General DeWit In this demand, which is supported by requests received by Gen. DeWitt and myself from groups of the civilian population of the Pasadena and Southern California area.

5 PJ. Out of the mail bar comes a note from Howard Moffitt, former Iowa U. cae stalwart and now coach at Vinton. Howard is high on one of his lads, John Fowler, of whom he wrote: This boy is the best point-retter I have coached. He plays a forward and during his sophomore and junior years averaged 13 points a rame.

This year we have played two games and he rot 16 points against University high and 21 against La Porte City. Last year he won the Tri-Valley scorinr honor, breaking the existing record. I hope to get him at Iowa as they could use some of those From Henry Gundling comes a letter urging this column to keep beating the drums for greater alumni support and organization behind the Iowa Hawkeyes. He suggests: "I would like to make a motion that a meeting be called for all interested Iowa fans, alumni and otherwise, for the purpose of expressing views and of coming to some conclusion beneficial to the cause. Perhaps some of the coaching staff could be present to give its slant on the picture so that an intelligent approach to the may be attained." The idea was sound and was about to be pushed when the war broke and forced all sports subjects into the background temporarily.

But it offers an approach to the problem that could bring great benefits if handled judiciously. When told that the Raiders had acquired him, Phil Seghi said: "Good. Now if a few of my friends and all my enemies turn out next summer, we should fill the park." Last week in the Indiana-Wabash game, the Hoosiers missed 29 of 44 free throw chances while Wabash missed 35 of 43 gratis tosses. And in the same week, De Paul invaded Purdue's big fieldhouse and missed every one of 11 free throw chances Red Face dept. Fritz Crisler tells this one on himself: "Last summer," says Fritz, "Paul Brown of Ohio State and his staff attended a coaching school wheie I was an instructor.

I gave out several plays I hadn't been able to make click. To my surprise, the Buckeyes used some of my plays in tying us last fall."

IS Hawks Open Victory Over IOWA CITY (AP) Showing plenty of scoring punch after a lazy start, Iowa's Hawkeyes opened their' 1941-42 basketball season with a 52-31 victory over Washington of the Missouri Valley conference here Saturday night before 5,000 fans. The triumph was strictly a team affair for the Hawkeyes, but it was the smooth ball handling of Vic Siegel and the accurate eye of Tom Chapman that set the club in motion after a ragged opening. Chapman was high scorer with 15 points and sparked a late drive in the first half when the Hawk-eyes were leading by a scant 13-12 margin. Free throws kept the Bears in the running the first period and when the final whistle sounded the visitors had sunk only eight from out on the floor, four in each half. Iowa built steadily from a 24-18 halftime margin after the Hawks' defense finally found itself and held Washington without a goal until nearly half the second period had elapsed.

Jack Darnton slipped one in from the side while Iowa was sporting a 40-21 lead. Milt Kuhl, six-foot six inch center, was another important cog in the Iowa machine, sinking 10 points. Siegel, high scorer on the team for the past two seasons, made eight Washington was lacking completely in any kind of offensive game and its defense opened wide after the first ten minutes of play. Coach Rollie Williams substi- GEORGE ASTROSKY PHIL SEGHI East Waterloo Clips Riders In 21-20 Duel If and when the Hollywood movie moguls decide to weave a story around a basketball team they can use the Roosevelt-East Waterloo game for the basic theme. In a Mississippi Valley conference affair played on the local floor, Saturday night, the two outfits played give-and take for 28 minutes, but the Riders finally succumbed to the brisk play of the visiting Trojans, 21-20.

The East team, sparked by Roger Stephens, displayed a snappy offense and a well woven defense. Dick Kelley's field goal four minutes before the finish will long be remembered by the Trojans, for it was this bucket that won the game. Not a single point was scored after Kelley hit, although if the Riders had gained composure enough they might have tallied. From the outset it was obvious that the two outfits were closely matched and that it was going to be a nip-and-tuck battle. Emory Sample was the first player to connect from the floor and his true-to-form shot went clean through the bucket.

Right here is a good time to praise the floor work of Stan Davis, who was the king pin on rebounds for the Riders. Davis started for the first time this year and alternated with Johnny Sebern until he was forced to leave the game on fouls. Although Marty Thorson didn't score a point all evening, he was (Continued on Page 2, this Sect.) Hose Bowl Teams Invited To Play In Soldier Field CHICAGO (INS) An invitation to Oregon State and Duke to play their post-season football game in Chicago was extended Saturday night by Evan J. Kelly, brother of Mayor Edward J. Kelly and director of special events in the Chicago park district.

Kelly proposed the game be played in Chicago's lake-front Soldier field, with a seatirig capacity of 100,000, as a boost to "civilian morale." He stated: "We extend an invitation to the Rose Bowl contestants to play the game in Chicago. "We have the facilities to keep the field clear in event of snow. "We want to do all we can to bring the game here as we feel it will be a fine thing for civilian morale to have this Rose Bowl game played." Washington Dismisses Jim Phelan and Staff SEATTLE (AP) Rav L. Eck- mann, University of Washington athletic and student activities director, said Saturday that Football Coach James Phelan's contract would not be renewed for 1942. Neither will those of Phelan's assistants, Chester "Cotton" Wilcox and Ralph "Pest" Welch.

He stated a new coaching staff would be employed and that, while Phelan, Wilcox and Welch are paid through next March 31. their dismissals were effective Saturday. Later the university news service asked to have the statement changed from "dismissal" to "termination of services." Phelan declined comment. He came to the university in the spring of 1930 from Purdue, where he had coached since 1922. His 1929 team won Purdue's first Big Ten conference football championship.

He crowned his Washington career with the Pacific Coast conference title in 1936, (Continued on Page 1. this Sect.) Gaxetu phoioa. FRED WINTER Honors 11 pion. He qualified for both the U. S.

Trail-j ing Lawrence, 37-33, with seven minutes to play, the Kohawks donned their fire helmets in earn- est and poured in baskets like water into a burning building to win, 48-40. I Lamprecht Starts It Hank Moss acted as chief In those glorious seven minutes as he collected 10 of his 22 points. The grand finale, which gave Coe its first Midwest conference victory, started when Bob Lamprecht hooked in a field goal.

Then Moss dribbled around his guard with a change of pace that fooled everybody, most of all the guard, for the tying points. From there on It was Coe's game. Paul Tschirgi hurled a pass half the length of the floor and Moss grabbed it at full speed, dropping the ball through the hoop as he sped under the bankboard. Dick Miller, Viking forward, interrupted proceedings long enough for a free throw before Lamprecht was back with a one-handed pushup from in front of the basket. Moss added three free throws and a field goal while Tschirgi counted once from the floor.

That was it. because nobody paid much attention to Bill Crossett's final basket for the Vikings. Tied Seven Times. L'p until those closing minutes, it was a nip and tuck game, with four points the widest margin ever to separate the Lawrence's 37-33 advantage was one of the big gaps, while Coe's 16-12 lead in the first period was the other. The score was tied on seven different occasions, the first time being at 19-19.

Percy Locey, Oregon State college athletic director, said cancellation of the game rested with his college and a decision would be made after the tournament committee acted on the request to call off the Rose parade.

He said the college desired to cooperate fully with the army but wanted to get a better picture of the army's views before taking action. Locey asserted that, speaking as an individual, he believed that unless the danger were great, Americans should have diversion and continue their sports events as the British had done. Governor Olson's cancellation demand will probably apply also to the East-West Shrine charity football game scheduled New Year's day at Kezar stadium in San Francisco.
