Everybody Ready for Opening Gong at Armory
A few! drops of rain felTTuea-j
day.
And we think that's an oat
rage.' Why should It rain at
this time of year?
Seriously speaking, we can't ex
pect this arid condition to hang
on much longer. There will prob
ably be plenty of rain before next
Monday, and if there la. It will be
bad business for tbe two Salem
football teams which get In action
on 8 wee t land field that afternoon.
The Salciu high team Is light
er than the Eugene eleven
which It will meet, and even on
a dry. field. Holly Huntington's
boys would have their work cut
oat for them. If It's sloppy, it
will be worse.
Willamette, on the other hand.
Is backing op against a team
which is trailing at the bottom of
the Northwest conference stand
ings bat wait a minute before
yon mark down another Bearcat
victory.
; Linfield held College of Ida
ho scoreless daring the first
half at Caldwell Saturday ; and
that's, going some for a Wil
lamette talley team t ravelins;
that far and playing at that al
tltude. The Wildcats from Mo
Slinnvills held the Coyotes even
on straight foot ball, and lost
only because they were weak on
pass defense. Tbe same weak
ness a few weeks ago spelled
defeat for tbe Wildcats la their
game against the Pacific Badgers.
So if Sweetland field is a sea of
mud-, or approximately that next
Monday, the Bearcats will be due
for a tough afternoon. Their goal
line hasn't been crossed , in con
ference football this season
(knock, knock), and it's difficult
to see how Linfield will be able
to score, but breaks can always
occur in football. That game Isn't
tucked away by any means.
A friend asked ns Tuesday
why we praised the Willamette
line so much after Saturday's
game, when it didn't play as
good a game as It did against
Idaho. We admit that. One
,1'acifie man waa breaking
through, always at the same
place, and breaking up Bearcat
plays behind the line
But U was so unique for a set
f linemen to get the credit for a
y victory and to score the deciding
touchdowns, that we didn't want
to .detract from their credit right
after the game.
"Why do you devote so much
space la your column to Wil
lamette 7" somebody asked us
the other day. We answer,
y. not 7" .Mostly because
we and most of our readers live
In Salem, this happens to be the
football season, and Willam-

Referee Tom Loutltt.
Despite the fact that Johnny
Hawks, Junior lightweight cham
pion of the northwest. Is com.
ing here to fight Art Akers In
the main event at the armory to
night, a lot of the fans' attention
will be sidetracked temporally
ette has the best football team
In town.
This is as good a chance as any
to enlarge on one of our pet be
liefs. Nobody can - accuse us of
being oyer optimistic, and yet we
ean see no reason why Willam
ette shouldn't, within the next two
or three years, climb right up the
athletic ladder and meet the Coast
conference schools on even terms.
No reason, that Is, except that
some link In the necessary
chain of events should fail.
Right at this minute Willamette
has the best football team It has
had In eight years, at least. It's
a team that has been developed
In this one season, practically.
This bunch of athletes looks
like it would stick, but so have
some that didn't stick in the past.
If these boys stay and another
good freshman squad comes in
next fall, it'll look awfully good.
But if they don't stay, maybe it
won't be their fault. The attitude
of the rest of the students, faculty
and Salem folk in general may
have a lot to do with it.
But Just think what it would
mean to Salem, to have a foot
ball team of Coast conference
calibre in its midst. Before
long we'd have a build a con
crete stadium.
Now to get pessimistic again,
we pick Johnny Hawks to beat Art
Akers tonight. Also we'll plunge
on the game and pick Kelly to
beat McRae.
Faces Tough Battle 1HJ fj)

Art Akers, speedy local lightweight fighter who faces the tough
est bout of bis career when he meets Johnny Hawks, junior light
weight champion of the northwest, tonight at the armory.
IT PLANNED
Willamette Students Plan to
Send An Excursion to
Whitman Game
from that angle of the situation.
Former Eugene Lad
Packs Mean Wallop
The reason for this division of
interest is Joe Blackwell, Eugene
middleweight who has been fight
ing main events In the Lane coun
ty town. He knocked out Spud
Murphy twice, and had held his
own with Cleghorn and the rest
of the top notchers.
Blackwell has just taken up re
sidence in Salem, coming here In
connection with the construction
work on the new water plant, and
he wants to fight. He's so anxious
to fight that he told Harry Plant
he would start in anywhere on the
ladder, even if a preliminary was
the only thing left open.
This scrapper has put up some
of the best battles of his career
for a purse of $10 or less; and an
attitude like that is what has
gained him so many friends. A
lot of them live in Salem and
wouldn't miss tonight's card for
anything. Blackwell goes up
against Harold "Oklahoma Kid"
Summers, now a resident of West
Salem. Summers has had plenty
of experience, and those who have
seen him fight say he is good
enough to make Blackwell Rtep.
Matchmaker Plant's promise to
the Irish of three Kellys on this
card was made good when he sign
ed Jack Kelly, Bob's younger
brother, to meet Bill Getty, an
other local boy In the 140 ponnd
class. Buszsaw will meet Pat Ha
ley of Independence.
That means seven new faces on
tonight's card, which approaches
close to the Ideal the matchmaker
has set before him, of testing out
new men to determine who can be
counted on for future cards, and
provide the variety, the fans crave.
Freshmen Out for
Basketball Play
The freshman basketball squad
at Willamette university started
practice this week under the di
rection of Coach Leslie Sparks.
Ten aspirants are turning out and
this number will be increased
when men now playing football
turn from outdoor training to the
indoor game.
Without forgetting that the
Linfield Wildcats still present an
obstacle to the Northwest confer
ence championship hopes of the
Willamette Bearcats, students of
the local school are already plan
ning an excursion to Walla Wal
la Thanksgiving day to support
their team in the big game of the
year against Whitman.
There has been some talk of i
tending the Baarcats to Walla
Walla by airplane, an offer having
been made by an air transport
company which has two tri-motor-d
planes available; but the pros
pects of an excursion taking a lot
of rooters to the game rather ov
ershadows that. However, It the
excursion falls through, the air
trip may be arranged. If it is.
It will be th etirst trip of the kind
for any . football team in the
northwest.
Linfield looms up as no idle
threat, especially in view of the
Injuries suffered by the Willam
ette squad in Saturday's game
and In scrimmage practice Tues
day. Cranor, Willamette's most
dependable ground gainer for the
last three years, will not be able
to play until the Whitman game
on account of injuries suffered in
the Pacific game.
Coach" Keene hadn't called any
scrimmage practice for a couple
of weeks, but it became neces
sary this week because the tim
ing of plays waSj-tuffering. Tues
day night Carpenter, fighting
tackle, broke his hand and
Gretaeh, fullback who performed
so capably against Pacific, suffer
ed a wrenched knee.
DePoe, quarterback, and
Borsch, guard, are also on the
list of cripples, DePoe wrenching
his back in the Pacific game.
Linfield has an exceptionally
strong line, and has been defeated
in its earlier games because of an
ineffective defense against passes.
If there is heavy rain between
now and Monday, handicapping
Willamette's pass attack, Linfield
is especially likely to make it a
tough game
company team won three from
Valley Motor, Hall of the mattress
staffers rolling a 637 total for
three games. Barr Plumbers took
three straight from McKay Chev
rolet. The handicap sweepstakes was
won by E. Ostrin with a score of
610. The women bowlers are now
taking an active part in these
events, four competing Tuesday
