On Ground
NEW YORK, Dec. 'l3 —(A')—
011ie Matson, San Francisco Uni
versity's contributiOn to the As
sociated Press' All-America foot
ball team, is the nation's No. 1
major college ground-gainer for
1951.
The 203-pound senior finished
his collegiate career with a na
tional record, having gained 3,166
yards th three-years to wipe out
the mark of 3,095 yards establish
ed by Eddie Price of Tulane.
Price now is with the New York
Giants of the National Football
League.
The season's final figures re
leased today by the NCAA Serv
ice Bureau show that Matson won
the title easily with a net of
1,566 yards in nine games. He
scored 21 touchdowns as he guid
ed the San Francisco eleven to its
first unbeaten- untied season.
His 1951 total is just four yards
short of the one-season mark of
1,570 yards set ,by Fred Wendt
of Texas Mines, in 1948.. •
Matson is the first 1 3 .1.cifie Coast
player to capture the ball-carrying
laurels.
The Southwest, which leads
with five rushing titlists., pro
duced the runner-up this year in
Frank (Danny) Goode of Hardin-
Simmons. The 160-pound Texan
had 1,399 yards in 12 games.
Tulsa's Howard Waugh got 1,-
118 in 11. •
For the third. straight year
Drake's Johnny Bright is among
the top 20, and might have given
Matson' a tussle down the stretch
except for the broken jaw which
kept him out of two games and
benched him for most of two
others. Bright, fourth in 1950 and
fifth in 1949, is seventh this year.
His - career aggregate is 3,134
yards, which also breaks Price's
Tulane mark.

Committee
ousting of
WASHINGTON, Dec. l3—(W)—The abolishment of all post-sea
son football bowl games was recommended unanimously today by
ten college presidents studying intercollegiate sports.
The recommendation was part of a proposed program which

Dr. John Hannah, president of Michigan State College and
chairman of the committee, ,said
the educators were all agreed
that:
Pa. Hunters
Begin Two-Day
Hunt for Doe
HARRISBURG, Dec. 13—(/P)—
Some 200,000 big game hunters
turn their sights from bucks to
doe tomorrow for the opening of
Pennsylvania's two-day antlerless
deer season.
State Game Commission offi
cials are looking for a kill of be
tween 125,000 to 150,000 deer of
both sex this season' with the ma
jority of them expected to be
bagged during the next two days.
Weather is Key
The official start of the doe
shoot is tomorrow at 7 a.m. The
Tegular -11-day buck season came
to a 'close today 'at 5 p.m.
' • Weather holds the key to the
success of thinning of Pennsyl
vania's 750,000-head deer herd.
'We're looking for a heavy kill
if there is a good tracking snow
on the ground," said Thomas D.
Frye, executive director of the•
State Game Commission.
55,000 Killed
The weather bureau said at
least' one inch of snow would re
main on the ground in the moun
tains of the northern tier counties
with more snow expected tomor
row. It also, predicted freezing
weather in most parts of the state.
Only 55,000 deer were killed in
Pennsylvania during buck season
and the state's first two-day doe
hunt since 1938. Heavy snow and
flooded streams kept most of the
nimrods away from the best
hunting areas.
