25 pounds, will enter the . ring
for the 10-round feature match a
favorite repeat the vietory be
scored oyer Johnny In -Detroit.
The odds. however. were - . no
more" than 0 to 5 in Mickey's fa
vor, due to the determination
Riako has manifested in his
traininr as well as his habit of
sDrinxinc .upsets.
As a warning of more serious
affairs to come. W. I. (Young)
Stribling, - the pride of Georgia,
and Max Schmeling the young
German holder of the world's
fceawwelrht title, are slated to
offer three rounds each of exhi

WILLAMETTE POOR
With the call for track aspirants
t Willamette, only three letter-
men are returning as a nucleus for
the 1931 track team.
Frank Van Dyke, J?ercy Carpen
ter and Don Faber are the letter
men who will again carry the Wil
lamette colors on the field. ; van
Dyke is a distance man and ap
pears la the mile and two mile
events. Van Dyke is a two-year let
term an and is a dependable) man.
Carpenter is good for 12 or IS
points In most of the dual meets.
Percy puts. the shot, throws. the
discuss and hurls the javelin. Car
penter is also a two-year letter
man. Faber : does the running
broad jump and also pole vaults.
In spite of a bad leg last spring.
Faber beat his previous mark at
pole vaulting and with his leg In
good shape this year is expected
to add much to the height of his
vaulting.
. What la needed most on the
track team Is sprinters, according
to ."Les" Sparks. A number of
freshmen are turning oat. and
middle distance men can be whip
ped Into shape. But sprinters are
born, and if a man does not have
it naturally, there is not much
chance of developing speed enough
for it. However, some of the new
men may. show enough to . bolster
up the team's chances consider
ably. -

FISHERMEN TO
State Champions out After
Revenge for Their Only
Defeat This Year
This week "Holly" Huntington
is preparing the ' Salem : high
hoopsters for an Invasion of the
Astoria Fishermen Friday night.
Although the Fishermen were
defeated 34 to 23 at Astorfa ear
lier in the' season, Huntington Is
not lettinr his : men take the
gazne lightly. Astoria teams are
famed for . their fight and the
team this year keeps going Its
hardest for a full game. At the
finish of the game played in the
Fishermen's town, both , teams
were so urea that they ; could
hardly walk off the floor. 5
Astoria Is still : In the lead in -
district nine of .the state division
and It is unlikely that anything
can now stop, tne Fisnermen
from coming- to the state tourna
ment. Of the 11 tournaments In '
the past. - Astoria has ' been, here
for 10. Last year the Fishermen
took the state championship and
Salem high was the first team in i
two seasons to hand them a de
feat. Salem was the runner-up in
the tournament last year and the
local boys are now .waiting for
another chance to humble the an
cient foe. 1
Locals Rank High.
In State Standing
Salem high Is still undefeated
In the high school - class and is
picked as one of the strongest
bidders for 'state championship
this year. Against Chemawa last
Friday night, the red and black
proved, that it could maintain a
fast pace during an entire game.
It was also pleasing to local I
fans to note that the regulars
and subs work well Interchange
ably. Siegmund and Graber alter
nated at center as usual and each
was able to go his hardest while
in. Foreman also traded off with
Bone at forward and proved te

Dempsey is unlikely to meet

prospering: as a' touring referee
and his ever growing interest in

ily to the fortune he made in. the

Then, too, Jack Is an intelligent
chap who realizes that time has
taken much of the drive from his
legs and exacted other of the usual
