It .nt however, a fluka rlctory athleUea at Willamette bad really MwhMi that level at tbe time. when the university included medical school from which it drew . a considerable number of stars. There are any number of per ions in Salem who can tell with out stopping to cudgel their mem ories, who it was that raced across Oregon's goal line with tbe ball "and scored the winning touch down. It was Braxler C Small, now justice of the peace here. Willam ette won 6 to 3. tbe lemon yellow being unable to do better than a Held goal. Sweetland Then Coach That was. to fix the period more firmly in the minds of football fol r lowers who didn't happen to be llring in Salem at tbe time, one of the last seasons when football play ers were wearing those one piece suits which Included a sleveless canvas Jacket attached to the pad ded trousers. Some of them were still banging In tbe Willamette rrmnaslum when It burned down In 1920. It was also In tbe beyday of ports at Willamette under the leadership of Dr. J. O. Sweetland. when tbe cardinal and gold held Its, own also with O. A. C. and other large schools. Slump Is Brief Two years later the lemon yel low again Invaded Sweetland field, but this time they found condi tions changed. Dr. Sweetland had departed and Willamette was in ii n athletic slump which ended rbruptly the following year when Robert I. Mathews appeared on the scene.. For this one season. Coach Thompson was in charge, and Oregon routed tbe Methodists 47 to 0. Mathews performed wonders at Willamette with the limited ml . terial that he had, but he did not j it his gridiron teams against th? ttate schools. In basketball and other sports the Bearcats met all comers and frequently defeated Oregon and O. A. C. but no foot ball games were scheduled. Some of the fans suspected that f n view of the worlds of fight Mathews Instilled Into his mole r.fcln warriors, be didn't hare the ' reaft to match them against odds, for his men would hare died rath er than be scored on a fact which was demonstrated In games against Multnomah club and sim- . liar heavy teams. I Scored In 1021 So It wasn't until Mathews had .. 'departed for broader fields that Willamette played Oregon again. TWflrst season after he left, 192! rthe Bearcats under Coach Roy 'Bonier played Oregon here and I held the Webfooters to a 7 to S score. Tuffy" I nine booted Wll- .Jamette's field goal. Tbe team. scomposea entirely or men pre viously coached by Mathews, was (Oregon's equal on defense but had -no offense worth mentioning, and iiaiioa to score arter recovering a t Nocked punt on Oregon's fire i rard line. . i .. Again in itz Oregon sent a ; team to Salem to play the Bearcats and was lucky to escape defeat Willamette carried tbe ball across 'the goal line, but a penalty was f- called and the play didn't count, 1 The game ended scoreless.

Buithy Graham seems to be the young man who Is being recog nized as the new title holder, but went against us. That's all." Sherdel. who attempted to sneak a quick -strike on Babe Ruth in tbe famous seventh Inn ing when he had two strikes on him. protested that tbe strike should have been allowed; that Ruth, who smacked tbe next ball over the right grand stand for his first of a trio of homers, should bav gone to the Yankee dugout a strikeout victim Instead of a fcome run hero. "If there was an understanding among the umpires in prohibit ing a quick return. It was a secret to me." Sherdel said. "They did not let me in on It. I have been nulng a quick return all the time In the National league. There Is no rule against it. "Why. once I tried It on Tony, Kaufmann in Chicago and be looked up Just In time to knack the ball into the left field bleach ers." 'I was standing on the rubber when I made the quick .delivery today.. Ruth was In the batters box. Babe never saw It. The ball was right in the slot, a sure enough strike." "After the ball was on the way to the plate. Pflrman. the umpire. waved his hands, signaling 'time out. He shouldn't have done that." Sherdel made no excuses for the two balls that Ruth knocked out of the place for home runs They were low curves, pitched in side, he said. "I aent them where I wanted to," Sherdel added. "I hated to see them sail out of the park, but a balh game Is a ball game."

Tbe other night at Madison Square Garden in New York, Al Brown, tbe elongated negro ban tam who collects his mall in Har lem, eliminated Kid Francis, a clever , Italian bantam, from the picture, but throughout the twelve rounds of so-calleM milling Al didn't look like championship timber.- In tbe face of tbe fact that be had yards the better of It In the reach thing. Brown did a lot of running away from the Kid, who carried the fight most ot the way but couldn't connect with any solid socks despite a constant bor- lng-ln process which he kept up after the first few rounds. Word comes now that Fidel La Barba has founVl that he can't stay away from the glare of the calciums and that he'll be hot on the trail of Graham following his victory over Bushy in an over weight, non-titular scrap held In Los Angeles recently.

After a few more bouts he relinquished the tiara and, announced that he was giving up the racket to grab an education at Stanford Univer sity. Something brought him back -to the wars, however, and he's bound to be heard from as a more than promising bantam weight In the early mixing this season. Fidel's career was short but colorful.

Olympic team, annexing the worM's amateur title in his divi sion at that year's Olympiad. Following this, he turned pro feeslonal and boxed with success around Los Angeles In 1925 and with only ten bouts in the pro ranks to back him up, he defeated Genaro. As tbe new champion he decided to try bis luck In Ne York but, being under the age of 21. he was not allowed to-box more than six rounds in the big town. In his New York debut, however, he matle a hit with the cash customers by trouncing Lew Perfettl. a Gotham bantam who had a big local following. Carries a Wallop In ' January ot last year La Barba met filky Clark, European flyweight champion. In a world's title bout at Madison Square Garden and won, going away with several knockdowns which showed the boys In the front rows that he carries a wallop. After engaging in several other less importan Jousts, and a victory over Johnny Vacca. a promising kid. In a bout staged! at Los Angeles, the young sters announced! hfs retirement. His reason for retirement seem er a logical one. and the fight fans decided that they had seen the. last of Fidel for at least four years. A year out of the limelight, however, and here he la back In It again with a victory scored over tbe reeognlted bantamweight king.

To cap the climax of one of his greatest days. Ruth ended the series with a remarkable one-hand running catch of Frisch's foul along the left field boxes in the ninth Inning. Dashing into the dugout as the crowd surged out on the field. Makes New Mark As Series Batter The Babe's triumphant dash to cover ended a series In which the great slugger had shattered all world's series hitting records, ad-, ded to his long range laurels and finished with a batting mark of 9; that eclinses anything pre viously on record. The highest mark before was .545 made by Sergeant Hank Gowdy In the 1914 series with the Boston Braves. In the crowning of the Yankees as world's champions for the sec: ond successive year, the tremend ous hitting feats of Ruth as well as Lou Gehrig, who equalled one of the Babe's own marks by gath ering four homers, shared the spotlight with the pitching of Watte Hoyt. The sturdy young right hander of the Yankees won his second game of tbe series and his sixth in championship conflict, thereby equalling .the record of old Chief Bender of the Athletics for the most triumphs any pitcher has gained in tbe classic.

Homers Are Most j Numerous in History' Never before has. any world s series game witnessed such an orgy" of long range firing as the Babe led. Not only were Individ ual records given a severe ham mering but by getting, five cir cuit clouts the Yankees did more than any two clubs, let alone one, has accomplished in the way of home run hitting in a single series game. The best that had ever been done before was three homers by one and four by two teams. - v The Cardinals, starting out gaily enough, got 11 safe hits off Hoyt. six of them In the first four Innings, but then again failed to exhibit anything like a cleanup punch, even with a revised lineup that had young Ernest Orsatti in centerfield for Douthlt and Earl Smith behind the plate instead of Jlmmie Wilson. These two did their part, getting five j hits be tween them, but Bottomley, Hafey and the rest of the Cardinals sluggers failed to snap out of their slump. Total of Four Defeats Taken Sherdel had lost three previous games to the Yankees and there was high hope that he would break the Jinx, for he had pitched good ball in every setback. But the laws of advantages failed to work and Willie took it on the chin for the fourth time Ih two years at the hands of the Ameri can league clubbers. What happened prior to the fatal seventh paled Into some in significance as the big barrage was put over but it was note worthy that the Cardinals again failed to take advantage of the openings given them by loopholes in the Yankee defense. Tne ltea Birds got five hits before they were able to score their first run. in the third, on Orsattl's double s bunt by High that went for a hit. and a sacrifice fly by Frisch They got their next tally In the fourth on a brace of two-base er rors A wild throw by Koenig on an attempted double play that let Maranville go to second and an other wlerd toss by Hoyt to cen ter that permitted the rabbit to romp home. Results Come Slow To Yankees Also Up to the seventh the Yankees also were Impotent in the pinches Ruth's homer in the fourth was their only score in the first six Innings but -they filled the bases once and had runners on first and third another time without get ting results. After the main firing had ceased the Cardinals put on a mild flurry In the ninth, when Martin, pinch running for Smith who had singled, was permitted to go to second unmolested and scored on an infiejd out. Orsatti and High followed with successive hits but Ruth bagged Frisch's foul for the -finishing touch.
