Mew Fmyem to Fffl' Wo Uo Omjeiflp' Agaibsti: Allbainiy Friday BUILD RESERVE lEEElTTO Tough Schedule Has Given Slight Opportunity to Use Many Players Promising reserve and fresh man football talent at Willamette university will get its inning Fri day afternoon when Coach "Spec" Keene's outfit tackles the Albany College eleven here. Fans who saw -the long line of husky looking reserves on the Wil lamette bench last Saturday were Impressed at the quantity of ma terial that Coach Keene had on hand, and at the same time some ot them may have wondered If these boys could all play football. It was a far cry from the condi tions of a few years ago. when the Willamette bench was usually pop . ulated by half a dozen subs, and scrimmage practice was conducted by having half of the line switch over because two full teams couldn't be mustered. Good As Ignlars Any question as to the ability of 4hese reserves Is entertained only ' by persons who haven't seen the squad practice, for a couple of times this season a freshman team has outplayed the varsity. The reason more substitutes weren'J . used against College of Puget Sound was that the play of the original lineup was all that could be expected. Veterans, Coach Keene believes, ; are better than new men princi- pally In that they are veterans. men who know what they are capable of doing. That was why a veteran eleven played against College of Puget Sound, and. also why reserves will play against Al bany College. It's the first op portunity of the year to give a lot of new men experience under fire, as the early season games were played against opposition too formidable for this purpose. Some of the layers who will see lots of action Friday are Tucker, 8mlth and Holt, ends; Bateson and Carpenter, tackles; Gill and Satchwell,' guards; Pope and Betts, centers; Garrison and Adams, quarterbacks; , Engelbret sen, McBee and Cardinal, backs.

BROWN BRUCE CALDWELL, outstand lng star of Yale's eleven lasi year, and rated as one of the great backfield men of the day. is playing professional football this fall as a member of the New York V football Giantg. And judging from accounts of : the Giants' Yames, Caldwell is learning, just as the other college stars have had to learn, that there to a wide gulf between the college, amateur, game and the profession al sport. Composed entirely of "made college stars every on an exper ienced man at his post the biz pro elevens play with a methodi cal, machine-like style that vir tually eliminates the chance play and loaf brilliant run brought aibout by a "break." Individualism la reduced to the vanishing point. Ilinkey Haines. Jack UcBride and other college stars, with a sea-k- son's experience or more of pro i pay behind them, are overshadow ing Caldwell. In a recent game be tween the Giants and Benny Fried man's Detroit team, Caldwell was stopped dead in his tracks repeat edly.

Jack Dempsey has stepped oii the "legit" stage to re-enter tha movies as a "talkie" artist And despite all this talk of a presidential election, the necessity for a five-cent cigar and the ueual problem f getting through t'je Christmas holidays ahead of the sheriff, the rumor will bob up that ' Dempseys next move win be right back where he started from tH prise ring. This rumor wasn't dampened any the other day by the chance meet tag of Jacques the Killer and Jack Sharkey, the Boston orator heavyweight. How about another scrap bo tweea the two who once fought ft out for a chance at Tunney, and whose, battle ended la a dispute in addition to a knockout victory for Dempsey? Sweet stuff, here. Dempsey's legs may be slow. He doesn't need legs for Sharkey. Give the Bostontan loud boy cre dit, he will step up and fight.

NEIL Associated Prm Sports Writer NEW. YORK, Oct. 31. (AP) Add Tex Rickard to the' growing list of those who believe that Jack Dempsey, once he king of the heavyweights, again aspires to his old throne. The master of Madison Square Garden, who accepted Dempsey's retirement after his second defeat by Gene Tunney as final and had steadily maintained since that the aid Manassau mauler had fought for the last time, roused himself today in Miami beach, Fla., where he is spending a short vacation. to tell the Associated d Press he feels sure Dempsey will box again. "The rumor that Dempsey will return to the ring has a good foundation despite nia present shyness In regard to future bouts," Rickard said in his tele. gram. "He really wants to- return to the ring. When a young man comes along In the winter cam paign, you will find Jack ready to prance through the ropes again. He will be a big card to. I am sure the ex-champion will again don the gloves." Although the come-back cam. paign of Luis Angel Firpo, shaggy-haired Argentine who lost the greatest of modern ring battles to4 Dempsey In 1923, already has reached the stage where he is ne gotiating for bouts' with Jack Re nault aad Roberto- Robertl in Buenos Aires, Tex still la not sure that the South American's Inten tions are serious. "Firpo will hare to come back to the United States to prove with some real fights that he Is an available contender before he can be taken seriously," Rickard wired. He made mention of the fact that young Strlbling, Atlanta heavyweight, "continues to show INSURANCE APPLICATION AND SUBSCRIPTION BLANK THE NEW OREGON STATESMAN . .

Conversion of Rickard to the belief that Dempsey, despite his 33 years and the two beatings ad ministered by Gene Tunney, is still to be considered among the active heavyweights. adds strength to rumors and reports that Dempsey will fight again. Failure of the former champion's recent stage effort may influence the decision. The need of Dempsey's ability to. draw customers through the fistic, turnstiles probably was Im pressed upon the promoter by the publication yesterday of Madison Square Garden earnings for the quarter ending August 31. The quarter showed a loss of over $300,000 and Included the finan cial debacle of the Tunney-Heeney match, Profits for the cor res. ponding quarter last year were well over $50,000. Bennett Plans To Give Final Sermon Nov. 25 SILVERTON, Ore.. Oct. 31 (Special) The Rev. J. A.

Relationship T TO IP BOH Percentage of Receipts for Boxing Bouts to go to Charities Fight .fans have been asking Harry Plant, local matchmaker, why the fights have been changed to Saturday nights, when so many of the fans are busy. . The reason was explained a couple of weeks ago when plansJ for the fight season were first dis cussed, but some of the fans ap parently didn't get the Idea, and so Harry is repeating it. The fights are to be on Satur day nights because the armory, the only place in town that will hold a fight crowd. Is In use tor other purposes every other night. But to accomodate the store em ployes the barbers and others who work late Saturday nights, Harry has arranged to start the prelim inaries at 9 o'clock instead of at 8:45. so that noboby need miss any part of the show. Another Innovation Another innovation which the matchmaker believes will meet with general favor, is the ar rangement for turning over 10 per cent of the receipts, the amount which formerly went into a federal tax. to charity. The result will be that the prices remain as be fore, but every fan gets, along with the entertainment furnished at the fight program, the satis faction of doing something for the needy folk who will be numer ous In Salem and vicinity this win ter If the expe vnce of recent winters Is any criterion. This ten per cent comes out be fore the fighters, the matchmaker or anybody else gets a dime, Plant declares. This fund ought to be started with a big sum Saturday night. Judging from the class of fighters that have been signed up for the opening card. Never before has the ring here been graced by a pair of battlers with reputations such as those of "Kewpie" Riley and Sailor Willie Gordon have earned for themselves. Rfley In Demand It may interest fans here to know that Riley has under con sideration a flattering offer for a tour of the Philippines. A repre sentative of the Olympic stadium In Manila Is trying to get Riley over there for a series of bouts. His principal fight in the islands would be against Kid Johnson, A little more information about Newberg high school's football team, which plays Salem high here Saturday, trickled Into the camp of Coach Louis Anderson's squad Wednesday and strengthened tho suspicion that the visitors will make the game more than inter esting. This was to the effect that New berg had defeated Tillamook high, which has turned out one of the best elevens In the state each year dnce Russ Rarer, former Willam ette star, took charge. Newberg won by. a margin of two touch downs.

Oct 31. (Special) The football situation at O. A. C. is much brighter now that they hare broken into the win column dne to their victory orer University of Washington last week by the score of 29 to 0. This was the greatest defeat erer handed Washington by O. A. C. since the beginning of football relations in 1897. Another reason "for the bright er situation is the fact that the players who hare been on the sick and injured list since the op ening days of practice are healing up rapidly and without doubt will add power to the machine by their return. At present the only .man who will have to view the rest of the games from the sidelines is Carl Metten whose right foot was broken in the game with South ern California, October 6. Metten had the cast removed from his foot yesterday and is now hob bling around with the aid of a cane. - The return of Rajph Twitchell to the backfield will boost the O. A. C. prospects considerably. Twitchell saw his first action of the season when he played a few minutes in the Washington game. He was called upon twice to pack the ball and showed he had not forgotten all about the game when he clipped off 10 yards through the line in two attempts. Chuck Stout, letterman tackle, was the only O. A. C. man to come out of the Washington bat tle with an injury. He was batter ed up a little in the legs but will be ready for action against the University of Montana here Sat urday afternoon. O. A. C. has met Montana on the gridiron twice,, winning both games. The score of the first game was 27 to 7 and the next 49 to 0.

When old grads get to betting football becomes a matter jaf dol lars and nonsense. With grid wagers it isn't the original cost that counts, but the upsets. As November dawns many a col legiate bankroll has been downed at least three times with a five spot to go. The only way to save money "during the fall is to quit readihe the football news and play check ers until Christmas. Defense may play a great part in a grid game but losing money on it is strictly offensive. Another good way to keep fronu losing during the grid business is to shoot the works on the Cardi nals In a series. TEAM PLANS TRIP TO FOIST OK SILVERTON, Ore..
