PlaceOregon theatre. Allie Taylor still dances on his toes. There's the answer to the Ques tion that some fans have been raisins as to whether the "Bend Wildcat" was still at his best. As long as an athlete's lower extrem ities don't fail him, he hasn't gone back. A glance at bis actions in a brief workout at the armory Wednesday night settled that. He still has all his old time speed in footwork, and bis arms work like a iair of trip hammers. But the latter goe without saying as loni; as the legs do their stuff. Fans here, where Taylor is only slightly acquainted, don't know it but Taylor comes of a family of pioneer cow punchers who are fa mous in the midctate country for their longevity. His uncle won the pony express ra:e from Bend to The Dalles a few years ago. Allie's father, who is t,everal times a grandfather, doesn't look any older than Allie does. And Allie U only 27, so the question of age Isn't ready to come up yet. AH of which means that Teddy FiM won't be able to rely on the old maxim tha.t "youth will be served," in this fight with Taylor tonight. It worked against Phil Bayes, but Taylor is different. Matchmaker Hairy Plant has completed the card for tonight by signing up Jack Peterson, of Port land for a special four round scrap against Red Hayes of Stay- ton, and doping out two preliniin-j aries. Bob Holincn and Carli Trick, both Salem boys, will mix lu the curtain raiser and Delmer j Russeilrot Salem and Elmer Faber of St. Paul will share their wares! In the second bout. With the seating arrangements changed to provide only 50 ring side seats, and the back of the house listed at a lower price than the most favorable Idrailnm Plant believes he has things out-; lined to please the greater number! of fans, and he's looking; for ai Digger house tonight than the one that saw Fox put the skids under Hayes. Despite foggy weather which kept a lot of fans away, the char ity fund was swelled In the amount of $110 two weeks ago, and a still larger increment is ex pected tonight. The third man in the ring for all of the fights tonight wfll be eithw Tom Loutltt or Ralph Gru man.. The latter acted as referee . at the last card here he la Port land's regular referee and satis fied the fans thoroughly - either case the bouts are certain u oe nsnajea ertlciently GOLF CLUB BOARD WOODBURN, Ore., Dec. 5 (Special) The annual meeting of the Woodtmrn Golf club was held Mouday evening in the Bank of Wood burn.

Many Veterans Out The present group of IS aspir ants for places on the basketball team Include one man who will be playing bis fourth year as a regular; three who will be play ing their third season, two who have earned a letter only once; four hopefuls from last year's freshmen team, one from the year before, and. only two freshmen. That Insures a team built up from the bottom, with 'scant hope for mushroom players to thrive. The freshmen, Gibson and Scales, are good men, but they'll have a hard time breaking Into the reg ular lineup; they will have to show that they mean business. Sophs Have Advantage The recruits from last year's freshmen team are not flashy, but they are good steady players, and will have the advantage, when it comes to picking regulars, that the coach knows they are stick ers. This list Includes Harmond. DeHaruort. Marsters and Bald- eree. Steelhammer Is the candidate from the freshman team of two years ago. Lettermen include Litchfield. who has played three years at for ward: Hauk. Ledbetter and Flesh er all guards, who have played two years: Ashby, a guard, and Adams, a forward, who were reg ulars one year. The list of letter- men will be Increased to seven when Cardinal, last year's center, arranges his work so that he can turn out. Are GoodSludents The reason for this advantage In stability which the basketball sqnad has over the football squad. Is due primarily to the scholastic sufficiency of the indoor athletes. Building up a similar condition among the gridiron squad Is some thing toward, which Coach Keene i. .M-ivtnr. with gradual success.

(AP) When talking about his great Stanford football eleven which ov erwhelmed the army, its veteran coach, Glenn Warner, gives as much credit to the California cli mate as to the amazing assortment of trick plays which daxzled the thousands at the Yankee stadium including the cadets.

The material is good and it's well distributed among the leading schools. But except for Artman. the 182-pound tackle, and Flelah hacker, the 220-pound quarter back, we did not outweigh the Army much if any. Those two men incidentally would be better football players If they lost some of that weight. i Westerners More Mature "I do think, though that the far west has an advantage in ma turity that is probably due to cli matic conditions. I have an Idea a boy of 20 from out there la as ma ture as a boy of 21 here in the east. "Another thing is that while not all of our players are descended from men who settled in the west, quite a few of them are and they have the same fightinjr, adventur ous spirit. "My Carlisle Indian teams used to have that quality and they loved the opportunity to play against white boys. They felt that on the gridiron they had a fair chance that they never had In battle with the whites. Then too the Indians had taken a lot of hard knocks all their lives and when they got on a football field they knew how to hanTle themselves." G&tt Thought Handicapped Even in the development of the open game, the vivid series of thrusts and Jabs so well exempli fied by the Stanford team, the cli mate of California has played a big part, thinks Warner. At the same time the east has been han dicapped by rain and muddy fields. "WhenI was coaching at Pitts burgh," he said, "I knew what it was to work up a lot of trick plays with the ball sometimes go ing through three or four pairs ot hands behind the line, only to strike a rainy day and a drenched field and not be able to use them at all. "That propobly has something to do with the fact that the east has remained somewhat conserva tive in it9 football and Is still leaning pretty heavily on the old variety. ' Now the kind of offensive that I like, and a kind I have had a good opportunity to deevlop on the dry fast fields of the far west, is the sort that gains ground steadily and consistently by a ser ies of varied and tricky thrusts. That type of play wears down your opponent and is pretty likely to have a demoralizing effect. "The Army, it seemed to me, took a great mny chances. All its plays appeared Intended to do Just one thing to shake Cagle loose.' .o 0 1 lot damaged blankets. 4,5. and lbs. Double grey blankets.
