FULLERTON, Jr. | (A. P. Sports Writer) | NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—To the fel- | lows who paid their four bits to sit in the bleachers, the 1934 baseball season and Dizzy Dean were prac- tically the same thing, although a few might extend it to include “me and Paul.” And there is good rea- ton to believe that Gus Fan struck It right in that contention. Despite the thrills in the close National league r , the unexpect- td collapse of the W: ngton Sen- ntors, 1933 Ami an league cham- pions, the stirring events of the world series and all the rest, Je- rome Herman Dean, dominated the tampaign. The Fall of the Giants | Winning 30 games in the stirring | pennant race, which wasn't decided until the last day of the season, more in the seven-game ruggle with the De- troit Dizzy was almost a one-man team. Meanwhile the New York Giants, 1933 world champions, faded out just enough at the finish to lose out, after leading from the early part of the campaign until weari- ness and the Cards overtook them. The Tigers, under the driving force of Mickey Cochrane, a first; year manager, had an easier road to the pennant although they also had to go to the final week before the title was a mathematical cer-| tainty. The season also will be long remembered as Babe Ruth's fare- well campaign, unless the great man of the diamond should ex- perience a change of heart and decide to try it again during the coming year. | Gehrig Marcnes On !

OREGON WILL PLAY GONZAGA NEXT SEASON EUGENE, Ore., Dec. 27— The University of Oregon has extended ‘lts 1935 football schedule another notch with the addition of a game { with Gonzaga University, Septem- ‘brr 28, according to announcement | by Hugh E.

THORNHILL HAS FOOTBALL DOPE ALL DISHED UP Says West Chose Wisely in Selecting Alabama for Big Game STANFORD, Cal.,, Dec. 26—When Stanford chose Alabama as its op- ponent in the 1935 Rose Bowl game, it picked wisely and perhaps too well, in the opinion of Coach Claude E. “Tiny” Thornhill, foot- ball coach of the Big Red ma- chine. First of all, he says, the South- ern team’s record for the season warrants the selection. Whether Minnesota * worshippers concede it or not, the Rose Bowl designation went, in Thornhill’s opinion, to as strong a team as there is in the country today. This is how he jusunes his argu- ment. Minnesota’s supremacy with- in its own conference was estah- lished without meeting two of the strongest season-end teams of the | Big Ten, Ohio State and Purdue, NOwW TINY! “I'm not so sure Minnesota could have beaten Ohio State. Look up their comparative records yourself. ‘Purdue played some fine football | in midseason and we must remem- ber there were more surprising up- sets during the ‘year than a Purdue or Ohio State victory over Minne- sota would have been. “Now take Alabama.Out here we | know how tough these southern teams are. The Crimson Tide has been out here four times without a defeat—three times in Rose Bowl play and once against a strong | 8t. Mary’s team. Every other team from the south, almost without an | exception, has put up a great game, and the same cannot be said for many teams from some other sec- tors. COMPETITION BEGINS HOME | “It’s true Alabama did not play outside of its own section but the competition it finds at home is tough enough to gauge the qualifi- cations of anybody's football team. | “On the other hand Minnesota in its principal non-conference | game won over Pittsburgh on a .362; Pirates, 122; Giants, | 17; Giants, (S end of the score for three periods. | ‘You can argue until doomsday | about the relative merits of two | teams which play in different sec- | tions without proving anything.

And “dark” the gym will re- main, too, for the rest of the high | school vacation period. Ther# will be no City League games, nor any exhibition contests with teams from other Alaska cities. Furthermore, the high school quin- tet has no games or practice ses- sions scheduled for the vacation period. 8o, “dark” is the word. A. B. Phillips, president of the City Backetball League, made that { announcement today. In explain- {ing his announcement, Phillips said that the high school team would not start its maroh for a Southeast Alaska championship until school had resumed. No cutside teams are to be brought in this year because of the high guarantees demanded and because of the heavy schedule for both high school and City League teams, starting next month. Phillips also announced that there would be a meeting of all City League managers Thursday, January 3. At that time, the com- plete schedule for the second half |of the season will be drawn. gress for a four-game series be- tween Douglas and Juneau high school quintets for the prep cham- | pionship of the Gastineau Channel area.
