' First of these is the fact that Coach f Spec" IKeene's boys hate . Justi' emerged from a wearing, braising battle with College of Pu-.- get Bound at Tacoma Mast Satur day I in which few players were . hurt! badly enough to keep them away from practice but many were battered up generally. Willamette has bad no real opportunity to . "Mint" for Pacific although of necessity every effort Is being . mad to do so this week. Pacific on the other hand will have had two weeks to recuper ate and get -hot" for Willamette - since its defeat by Whitman, and the sting of that defeat, considered at Forest Grove entirely unwar ' ranted, together with the recollec tion nf Willamette's upset victory overt tn Badgers last November, is., making Jthe ."hopping", task MnoH&llr easy for . Coach Jenne ., and his assistants. - Wasn't Bothered With Earhr Games Then again. Pacific has had full onnortnnltv to develop its compll cated system of attack, right from . the opening of the pratice season In mid-September. This year Coach Jenne had no early season games IWith the larger schools 10 worry about; his first game was against Llnfleld which was not too tough. and the second against coiumDia which didn't matter as the Irish are not In the conference. By the time the first real test came, against College of Idaho, the Bad gers were, ready,. And they are "readier" now. , Claims that Pacific is much stronger than last year seem well founded since Crltchfleld who was the Badgers' star backfield per former last year is still in the lineup but seems to be playing sec ond fiddle to Killlts and Welnel In the ball carrying department Holland, another newcomer, has also been going strong, along with Johnson.

Principals and coaches from high schools tn Marion county will meet tonight t Salem high to talk over plans tor the year and to frame county basketball schedules. Following the plan- in vogue for the past two seasons. A and B schedules will be drawn again With the' schools entering A squads, supporting B outfits also. In the past there - have been four teams listed in the A class including Salem. Chemawa, - Sll verton and Woodburn. , No Indica tions for a ehange in this plan have been manifest locally as yet. More teams in the B class than the A are present In the county and two divisions were made last year with the winners playing off for the Marion county champion ship, Parrlth, Junior high was al lowed a B team and won.. from Mill City in the finals. Salem high won the county champion ship for the A division. The Salem high B team failed to get entered In the county league last year and had to free lance it for the entire season. A fine record was made and coach Gllmore and the players were dis appointed at not playing in the county series. Salem B hoopsters will probably make early ar rangements to enter this season. v How I Play Football By FRANK CARIDEO . ; (Twice All-Amerloan qurUriak witi 1020-1030 championship Motaw Dame, hd backfUld oach a Fvrdae ulvfrottysaNi. ftetared with Jjb Ayree fat the motto picture The Spirit of " Notre Dame.) - 'r-': , - LESLIE PLAYS DALLAS SQUAD SOAj OF OLP At.OA120 WHO ic or JikG QUAGXE&3ACK OAJ HIS PAPS CHICAGO TBAtA Students to go On Eugene Trip Two hundred high school stu dents are expected to take the special excursion train to Eugene on Armistlc day. when the Chor rlans will meet the Eugone high school eleven on the gridiron at Bell field.

Perhaps, the Heston brothers, Michiran football baeks, may yet cnaiienge ue loruiy iwne vi vneir father, the wonderful Willie. That's almost an impossible goal, of course, because their "old man" generally is rated as "the greatest fullback of all time." He was chief pile-driver at Michigan early la the century when uoacn tturry Up" Yost was the - wixardly impresario- of those electrifying point-a-minute teams." His sons Jack and Willie, both look promising in the Michigan backfield though recent reports have it that .Junior," discouraged because he was assigned to Squad B, would qui football. Jack dia seem to be the better of the brothers as a grid star but high hopes were held out . for Willie who, some- say. la "the spit image of his old man" in everything but ability to roll up touchdowns and carry that ball through the line. "Junior" is highly intelligent and sensitive. The weight of carrying a mighty name is 'arduous in ath letics. At this writing, efforts were being made to keep Willie on the squad, according to reports from Ann Arbor. Indeed, he was making good with the Wolverines though overshadowed' by his brother. And then there's Pan! Starr.

"-Pat" Page's sen also plays with Chi. Almost two decades ago, Walter Camp, Jr.; son of the "Father ef American football," starred at halfback for Yale. The list of inherited grid talent could be carried into" tiie hundreds at least. However, few sons have equalled and none surpassed their dads when the latter have been rated as superstars in foot ball or other athletic activities. GsprrlgM. 131. Klnt rMarn SanMMM. laa.

Accurate, consistently good punting does not demand such power in 'the legs as It does rhy thm, good form and a tree, easy swing. Neither does good punt f n g necessarily require .weight. I have seen tall, slender punters weighing, leas than 160 pounds outdistance and place punts more accurately, time after time, than men weighing 195 pounds. Likewise I have seen high school boys who had developed form out- punt college men who occasionally drove the ball 70 yards but who, in the midst of a game, seldom it ever kicked a punt more than 40 yards. While sire and weight can be made to add to the punter's abil ity they are not vitally Important. During the development of my college football career I found that after a few days of practice at the start of the season. I re gained my previous form quickly and that punting did not require a great deal of energy. Selecting a form of style for punting, then sticking to it, girea a punter a natural grace of move ment a body action that employs the muscles evenly and without strain. When, in the midst of a fast moving game, a punt Is need ed the physical action of booting a 50 er 60 yard punt is thereby made so. easy to accomplish that it does not cause any mental strain or worry and the result is that the play is completed with out excitement and with the. de sired result. As I have previously stated In these articles the development of punting is the most Important !m provement that can come to foot ball in the future. The possible development is In making punters get the ball off without nervous or physical strain. Being at ease when the time to punt arrives makes it possible for the punter to use his head to better advan tage, select the target for his kick and get it into the air so easily and so rapidly that opposing play era eaanot Interfere with him at all. .A. reliabU nunter la a tremen dous asset to any team, a point you will- be better- able to appre ciate when vou see "Spirit of No tre Dame" at Warner Bros.

S.Tha Dallas reserves win piay wen "n game Wednesday afternoon when they tangle with the Leslie Junior h(rh tMm in saiem. i rectlone of yesterday to make sural geconi string lost to McMlanvtll that von understand. The position of my feet before receivinr the ball from me cen ter Is with my right foot forward. the left foot back with the left toe about to the instep of the right foot. As the. ball cornea back te the punter he should advance the already advanced .right . foot an other half step. This maaee it pos sible to follow this with, a full sten with the left foot. The full step with the left foot forces tne right foot to take a long swing fo the kick la nuntins my form haa been to take one and a half steps start' In t with the half step with the right foot first. I have timed my self with a stop watch and found that in 20 punU I got the ball well into the air within two sec onds after I received it from the center. The first position of the feet starts the punter off. with a prop er balance. The left foot gives blm a yard and enables the right leg to go back far enough to begin a free, easy swing forward to meet the ball. The body is forced into motion so that when the right leg swings upward all of the weight Is behind the leg and the contact with the ball, properly placed on the Instep is punted in to the air, spiraling as it points upward and then slowly sooms down to a landing. Only a spiral punt will result from this form because the instep meets the ball and forces It to roll or spiral. If the punter la to practice this form by counting to himself he should count one, two, while be is doing his kicking. The punt should be off on two. As you punt the ball into the air with your right foot raise your arms and head upward. The swinging of the arms in time with the punting foot also helps to put force Into your punt. Try the -en tire movement from receiving the Junior high a few weeks ago by a 20 to 0 score, iai a rwu beating at McMlnnvHie ana w the good showing Leslie has made this year the local secona sine haa little hopes of doing ,-pore than putting up a good acrap. - The starting; lineup far uama will -probably be: ends, Frtesen and Jonea; tackles, Koeugen ana DeMaris; guards, Peters ana ueii- man; center, 1 Reiser; quaner.

Tne secona i" is being coached by Robert Jiuien. Several changes have been made In the Leslie lineup since the Rooserelt junior high- game at "Eugene which was lost ey-tne locals. Elliott will call signals from end position while Mason will line up where the quaneroaca. orin- arily stands. Staples has oeen working" at nauoacs: eonsiuerDij and is alternating, with uei-aaey and Burns.. i The chances; in lineup have oc casioned more work from the Eon and Coach. Gurnee Flesher hepee his playera will demonstrate more football ability than they did la their last contest. Today's game : will start at 3:15 pi m. . , - dozen or 20 times until it begins to coma easy to you. . Then in crease the force behind your puat- ing. You'll see a amerence ana with a few days' practice you'll find that you can punt the ball nearly as accurately as yeu can forward pass It. When you can punt a ball ex actly where you want It rou will be acknowledged a good punter and a valuable player and no one will mind If i occasionally some ether kicker boots the ball a few ball to punting it down the field a yards further than you do, or net. Friday night. With more to gain than to lose in the contest. Pacif ic will probably open up with ev erything it has. : Various combinations of play ers are being used by Coach Keene to, accustom the men to each other's style of offense. The starting lineup for the game is still an unsettled question with Spec" Keene and his assistants watching the squad closely to se lect the men who make the best showing in practice this week. "Ole" Olson 1h looking good at line' plunging .and occasionally breaks loose for long gains.
