Ab Wilson Nearly Chose
Oregon State—Whew!
Think of it, Elliott Wilson
nearly' went to Oregon State.
Now that you’ve wiped away that
cold sweat here’s the dope. When
Wilson chose Oregon as the state
to go to school, he picked the
Aggie school as his Alma Mater.
He stopped briefly on the Oregon
campus, Smokey Whitfield, form
er colored actor and then boxer
of Oregon intercepted him, Elliot
went up and talked with Warren
and came to Oregon.
A rangy lad of some 220
pounds, Wilson has had a sorae
^what spectacular athletic career
since his Rescue from Oregon
State. His freshman year he was
first string center on the football
team and center on the basket
ball team.
His athletic endeavors don’t
stop here however, as the husky
also tossed the javelin and discus
when in high school.
His basketball and track may
be forgotten but his football play
ing in the Stanford game will go
on for a while in many memories.
Few were the plays that he didn’t
get his hands on, and fewer yet
that he did get his hands on and
didn’t stop.
Wilson hails originally from
the dust bowl area, Nebraska.
Many say it’s All-Coast for him
this year, and it won't take many
more games like last Saturday to
make it.

Ruffing Sinks
Dodgers, 3-1;
Gorden Shines
Big Red Ruffing's superb pitch
ing and the timely slugging of
Oregon’s Joe Gordon and Bill
Dickey gave the New York Yan
kees a 3 to 2 victory over the
fighting Brooklyn Dodgers in the
opening game of the 1941 world
series.
Ruffing’s victory was his sixth
in world series competition and
ties the record for wins held by
his team mate, Lefty Gomez.
A packed Yankee stadium
watched the power of the New
Yorkers sink the underdoog Flat
bushers. Joe Gordon’s homer in
the second after two were out
gave the Yanks a lead they never
relinquished. Bill Dickey’s 400
foot double off the center field
wall drove in Charlie Keller after
two were out in the fourth.
Reese Slugs
Pee Wee Reese, with a puny
.228 batting average, led the
Dodgers with three hits. He sin
gled in the fifth for the Dodgers
first hit of the game and scored
on Mickey Owen’s triple to left
center.
The Dodgers threatened in
the sixth when Ruffing gave up
two walks, but the next two
Lippy Leo’s boys tallied their
final run in the seventh on an
error and two singles.
Two double plays by the air
tight Yankee infield snuffed out
promising Flatbush uprisings. In
the sixth the Dodgers had one
run across the platter and run
ners were on first and second
when Pinch-hitter Jim Wasdell
fouled out to Red Rolfe. Reese
tried to advance from second and
was out Rolfe to Rizzuto. With
two men on and only one out in
the ninth, Herman Franks hit
sharply to Gordon. Joe whipped
the ball to Rizzuto and the relay
to Sturm nipped the runned to
end the ball game.
