Referring to his first season as head coach at MSU, when the Spartans had an unsuccessful 3-6 record, then to the next two winning seasons, Daugherty said: "Assistant coaches should get some of the credit for the last two seasons, because I gave them the credit for 1954." Five players from the national champion Oklahoma Sooncrs were on the North squad which defeated the South all-stars last Dec. 26 In Florida, including a couple Ail-Americans. Daugherty was one of the North coaches and he told the audience, with tongue in cheek, that the Oklahomans were "slow and awkward boys but we coached them hard." EACH TO HIS OWN CHOICE Reaction was varied to the selection of Jim Bailey for the Bill Hayward award as outstanding Oregon sports personality for 1956.

It was surprising to many but a worthy one and we've been analyzing the probable reasoning of the judging committee of 50. We would have bet the two-ounce piece of roast beef we had on our plate that Tommy Prothro, Oregon State coach, would be chosen, AU-American tackle John Witte a close second. The idea, we 'thought, was that Prothro had kept the state in the public eye from September to New Year's Day by winning the PCC championship and Rose Bowl bid. About a dozen of the 50 judges are closely linked to football, which isn't many. The possible reasoning of the others may have been that (1) Oregon State had the honor last year when Slats Gill, basketball coach, won the trophy; (2) Prothro and his Beavers won the PCC championship in a year when penalties knocked down three other schools: (3) Bailey, University of Oregon miler from Australia, carried Oregon colors when he shocked the world (on national television by upsetting John Landy last summer for the first under-four -jninutes on American soil.

4 Nevertheless, It was a case of placing the stress on one Incident 't or feat rather than one over a period of months. His Olympic Games qualifying and entry was not for Oregon Win or lose, Bailey remained the same jolly and friendly person, he always has been and deserves slncerest congratulations. Witte, we learn can tell you the time of day from four different vrist watches presented to him in post-season appearances. He 'got one from Look magazine, one from Collier's magazine, one from the NEA Ail-American board and the one that each OSC Rose Bowl player received. Anybody want to try to find out what makes him Joe Ziegler, Portland Beaver general manager, was thrown by ftate into an advantageous position on the podium.

Representing the absent Luis Marquez, Beaver outfielder chosen as one of the 12 finalists, Ziegler happened to find himself between two great high school pitching prospects Mickey Lolich of Lincoln High and Bill Oerding of Roseburg Prothro probably would have liked to have been over one seat himself, next to Marshfeld's incomparable Roger John-ion The busy beaver, Ron Ail, promotor of auto racing at Holly-wood Bowl and elsewhere, keeps his ulcers In an uproar with a few dozen winter responsibilities.

The colorful, white-thatched figure who traditionally led Pioneer Day parades on horseback was 85 at his death.

He was the one who in recent years sold property so that the Oakway Golf course could expand. In 1893, according to the story, a group interested in football 'at the University of Oregon hired Young to coach them, because he had played football at school in Portland (Bishop Scott academy, now Hill Military school). This was about the same time that Willamette University was starting the sport. The Ducks played their first game against Albany college, after some intersquad games, and within six minutes after the klckoff had a touchdown and won 46-0. Eugene took to the sport rapidly.

Oregon played only four games that season, losing 18-0 to Oregon Aggies, 12-0 to Portland and tied Pacific, 0-0 It was the next season, in 1895, that Oregon first played Willamette, winning 8-4 and 6-0 and going undefeated in four games under Coach Percy Benson.

Johnny Podres Still Has His Back Trouble But Foes Reminded of Ailment When He Won Series NEW YORK Wi-Pitcher John ny Podres still has trouble with his back. But before Brooklyn's opponents perk up, they might recall he also had back trouble in 1955. All he did that year was win the Dodgers' first world baseball championship.

A phone call to Witherbee, N.Y., brought the information that Podres was out ice fishing on Lake cnamplain, of what we call Lake Champlain ice fish," he said later, "They run about seven or eight inches apiece." it wasn easy to switch the conversation to baseball and a bad back. "It's been pretty good," said John. "But I still have a little trouble with it. Like when I go fishing and sit down quite a while. After I stand up, it feels a little better.

"They told me in the Navy I might-have to have an operation. I suppose I will eventually but there's no telling when. It might be two years and it might not be for five or ten." How did Podres feel about the statements by Manager Walter Alston, who said he might use John in relief if his back bothered him like it did at Montreal? "Whatever Walter says goes." Podres said. "I just hope it will be all right. I going South about Feb.

NEW YORK UV-Which will it be? Hot Rod the basketball player or Hot Rod the clown? Coach Joe Lapchick says it'll be a case of some of each when Rod Hundley finishes up at West Virginia and goes to work for one of the pro basketball clubs in the pro basketball clubs in the NBA. Lapchick, who has completed the cycle of college coach to pro coach and back to college coach, recently took his St.

John Uni versity Redmen of Brooklyn to Morgantown, W. for a game with Hundley and the Mountaineers. He came back predicting that Hot Rod would become a great pro player as well as a standout crowd attraction' with his talent for the unusual. Hundley, who loads the Mountaineers against NYU in part of a college double-header at Madison Square Garlcn tonight, scored 30 points while West Virginia crushed a better than adequate St. John's club 105-72.
