HOCKEY GAMES
(By the Associated Press)
Portland’s hapless Eagles suf
fered their second shutout in as
many nights last night when they
went down by a 6-0 score at the
hands of the New Westminster
Royals in a Pacific Coast Hockey
League game.
Both teams were scoreless in the
first and third periods, but in the
second canto the Royals broke loose
and bulged the net five times.
In another game on the schedule,
the short-handed Seattle Ironmen
defeated the Tacoma Rockets, 4-1.
Seattle took a 2-1 lead in the first
stanza and then added two more
in the third.
FIGHT DOPE
One fistic encounter last night
and here it is:
At St. Louis — Ray Famechon,
128’4, France, outpointed Charley
Riley, 128%, St. Louis, 10.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11—Ban
tam Ben Hogan's phenomenal,
movie-script rally from a near
fatal accident to regain his old
golfing heights was rated today the
greatest comeback in sports for
1950,
Sports writers and broadcasters
participating in the year-end Asso
ciated Press poll, had little trouble
making up their minds in that cate
gory, giving an overwhelming vote
to the plucky little shotmaster from
Texas.
On Feb. 2, 1949 Hogan was crit
ically injured in an automobile ac
cident while returning home from
a tournament in Phoenix, Ariz. For
weeks his condition remained seri
ous.
There was doubt that the sinewy
veteran who the year before had
scored professional golf’s U.S. slam
—the PGA, Open and Western—
would ever walk, much less play,
again.
Hogan won the Greenbrier Open
in May with a record-tying 21
under-par 259 and then climaxed
his spectacular comeback by win
ning the National Open at Phila
delphia in June.
Hogan received 112 first place
votes from the 274 first place votes
and piled up 393 points on the basis
of ihree for a first place vote, two
for second, etc.
Second place went to another
whose career was almost cut short
by tragedy — Eddie Waitkus, first
baseman of the Philadelphia Phil- i
lies.
Here are the leading comebackers
with points awarded on the basis
of three for a first place vote, two
for second, etc.
(First place votes in parenthesis):
1. Ben Hogan, golf (112) ... 393
2. Eddie Waitkus, baseball (29) 160 |
3. Navy, football, (7) 58
4. John Mize, baseball (8) 52 1
5. New York Giants, baseball !

6. Joe DiMaggio, baseball 37 !
7. Princeton, football, (3) .. 30
8. Ewell Blackwell, baseball 29 j
9. Michigan, football . 28 j

HUSKY COACH
ODELL TURNS
DOWN OFFER
_
SEATTLE, Jan. 11—Coach
Howie Odell of the Washington
Huskies revealed last night he had
turned down a "flattering offer"
to succeed Bernie Bierman as foot
ball mentor at the University of
Minnesota.
Odell, whose 1950 gridders fin
ished second to the University of
California Bears in the Pacific
Coast conference, received a new
three-year contract at Washington
last November 25.
Harvey Cassill, Washington’s i
athletic director, telephoned from !
Dallas, Tex., that Odell told him j
that he had rejected the offer after
about a week of intensive dickering.
Cassill did not say whether the
Minnesota e.tter exceeded what
Odell is earning at Washington, a
figure estimated to be $14,500 a
year.
Odell told Cassill that the “won
derful support of the community
and the institution during my three
years at Washington prompted my
final decision.”
Prior to coming to Washington,
Odell coached at Yale where his
teams filled the Yale Bowl eight
times.

Planned for Cagers;
Coach Ellia!! Talks
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11—Iff)—Bas
ketball Coach Sax Elliott may be
kidding, but he thinks that someday
basketball players may perform with
oxygen tanks on their backs and
masks on their faces.
Elliott, the Los Angeles State Col
lege mentor who recently experi
mented by having officials call the
game from perches just above the
players, already uses oxygen instead
of water to refresh his players.
They don the oxygen mask and
take a few healthy swigs of fresh
air during timeouts.
Elliott, former player at the Uni
ver ity of Southern California, says
he thinks oxygen is better for the
cagers than water. “In crowded
gyms, ‘bad air’ often becomes a
major factor,” he explained.
