PAGE EIGHT Th OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon Friday Morning. December 4. 1931 mmomlly Prominent. Grappiers to Show Wares Wmghi C1T0IET0 lET RUSSIAN Dreadnaughts Feature Most Promising Card Since Mat Game Boom 1 Tonight at the Salem armory the dreams ot a local wrestling promoter will come true when he presents Howard Cantonwine in a two hour grappling match against Count Harkovosky. Wrestling was started here a few years ago and took root rap Idly with middle and welterweight performers being booked. Match maker Harry Plant was soon able to bring in such nationally Known figures as Robin Reed and Wild cat Pete. Those shows went well and this fall some heavyweight matches have been booked. However Ted Thye and Bob Kruse were the most outstanding of these and none of the lot can 'compare with the performers Harrr Plant is offering tonight. Next to Strangler Lewis, Can tonwlne's name stands out as the most prominent of heavyweight wrestlers. Howard Cantonwine has recently invaded the north west and has arranged to meet Harkovosky here tonight. The big 220 pound limb twister from Uni versity of Iowa was a grid star during his college days and since leaving the halls of learning, has been teaching some of the pro fessional mat men a thing or two. Combines Gridiron Skill Vith Grappling His wrestling Is a combination of football and mat skill. His strength enables him to employ body slams and airplane spins eas ily. Cantonwine has lost to Hark ovosky once and will be gunning for retaliation in tonight's per formance. Harkovosky is said to be a "sure enough" Russian Count and also a noble performer in the ring. Speedy, powerful and well built, he will give the big Iowa man plenty to think of th tonight's how. Salem fans are eager to see him apply his famous bear hug hold. The count is making his first tour of the northwest and hopes to 'take with him a string of vic tories. Since fleeing from Russia when pursued by the 'reds", he came to the United States and engaged in wrestling for a livllhood. Lately he has become experienced enough that he has reached the top ranks of the game and is meeting the best performers. .Two Prelim Bouts Are on Schedule Jack Brentano of McMinnville r will meet Joe Gardinier of Port land In a preliminary bout. Both of these men have wrestled here before and are popular with the Salem wrestling fans. Brentano is a special favorite and Gardin ier has made a number of friends here this fall. Frank Lockhart and Dale Jory, both of Salem, will meet in an other preliminary match. They are making their first appearance at the armory and hope to please the crowd. UI IIS nils nu. hi Wrestles Here Tonight CHEMAWA, Dec. 3. The "Shop League" is in the midst of a heated babketball session. The second round has already started In this elimination contest, with the shoemakers winning their sec ond game. All the other teams have played but one game. The bakery team, which defeated the blacksmiths, will play the carpen ters, wno WjD handily from the cooks, and th- farmers will play the painters, who beat the engin eers and machinists tonight In a double head r. These games have aroused a great deal of enthusiasm and will be carried on In the form of in terclass games as soon as this schedule is complete. There will be arrangements made to get a silver loving cup to be used as a perpetual trophy for each l.ague Mg mw a mi? - s vf-r 31 pi yow&rd M CLUBMEN LOSE TO FLORSHEl Exciting Rally Brings Home Team up From Behind; Final Score 24-21 CURTIS mhSm After acting s though they felt rather "unnecessary" on the floor for more than halt of the game, the newly organized Price's Florsheim basketball team hit Its stride, overcame Multnomah club's 15 to 8 lead, dropped three points behind again and then staged a whirlwind finish to hand the clubmen their first defeat of the season, 24 to 21 Thursday night on the armory floor. Dwlght Adams, former Bearcat star, dominated the spectacular Tally by which the Florshelms came from behind. He suddenly broke loose and poked three field goals before the athletic club boys knew what was going on, and then with a free throw eut the visitors' lead to two points. Drager tied the score with a neat field goal. I Adams looped another from the foul line and Marr broke Into the scoring column to give the shoe salesmen the lead. 18 to 15. Throughout this tally the club men had sot made a point. Final Period4! Nip and Tack Affair Dolp, former Webfoot scoring ace, wno nad snared tne lime light with Luepke, tall Multno mah center, in the first half, got going again In the final period and with some help from Ed wards and Keenan, the visitors raised their total to 21, but then Marr scored again, Adams looped a long one on the tipoff play, and while the Florshelms employed a delayed offense in the closing minutes, Flake sneaked down and sank a cripple for the final Points. The Florshelms' slow start was contributed to by a sprained an kle which Flake suffered shortly after the game started. He was on the bench the remainder of the first period. Multnomah scored as many field goals as the local team but fouled frequently and though the Florshelms were not accurate in their shotl from the foul line, scored enough of them to win. The Florshelms were slightly lacking In teamwork due to the short time they have been play ing together, but showed promise ot a smooth offensive later In the season.

That's suggestion we offer tree of charge as m slogan for almost any prepared breakfast cereal Throughout the first half of last mgnt s game we could see that the Florsheim boys had left their "basketball Instinct" behind them on last year's maple floors But they found ft again and how! Those boys will be hard to beat some day. ad by the way, most of the Florshelms are Salem high graduates. It looks bad for this year's Cherrtans In the annual alumni game coming up a week from next Tuesday. It's now the season for charity football games, and if anybody has a dollar left after giving a day's pay a month, it wouldn't be misspent on the Oregon State Utah game in Portland. Of course back east one of those games wound np with the unemployed owing the promo ters several thousands of dol lars, bat such things are man aged better here in the west. And leaving all that out of con sideration, it ought to be a great game, especially if the Staters really get going as they are capable of doing. Even if they do show all the fight in the world there's no in surance that they'll beat the Utes, or even hold them. A thing we'd like to see staged oat here Is one of those football tournaments such as are being pulled in the east; three 20-mInute games, Judges picking the winner provided the games are ties. The Judges so far have based their deci sion on first downs. That's a point, we Imagine, that Induces the teams to open op and try fancy stuff in the hope of get ting a lot of yardage even at the risk of losing the ball occasionally. Too lata to nlan anvthlnr of the kind. Willamette, Whitman, Pacific and Puget Sound would have made a sweet combination for such a battle all upset champions. Schissler With Laryngitis Only Casualty; Muddy Field in Prospect CORVALUS, pre., Dec 3. (AP) Oregon State college grid men tapered off their training for the University of Utah game at Portland Saturday with a light signal drill today. Rain has been falling intermit tently here this week and with prospects of a wet field for Satur day Coach Paul J. Schissler today gave particular attention to guard ing against blocked punts. He alsa told his men how to stop Tedesco, Utah's flashy quarterback who is noted for his return of punts. Today Schissler reviewed with his men Utah plays and defense tactics to be employed against them. A similar review and a light signal flrlll Is scheduled for torn or row afternoon before the team leaves for Portland. Coach Schissler said no major changes will be made in the usual starting lineup. From left end the line will Include Davis, Miller, Bergerson, Hammer, Cox, Schwa- mel and Curtin. B' an cone will start at quarter, Mce and Rust at halves and Little at full. Bill Head and Art Ramponl probably will be the leading backfleld substitutes. Coach ScMssler is the only one in the Orange outfit not in the best physical condition. He has lost his voice temporarily through an attack of laryngitis and for the past two days has had to relay his instructions to the team through Jim Dixon and Lou Steiner, assist ant coaches. nnnrt that' the Orer:onian were preparing to storm down his passing attack aia not worry mm. Perhaps, he indicated, there will h no nusinr attack. "You can't pass very well with wet ball." Gridders to Be Honored With Party WOODBURN, Dee. 2.

Thirty-four players poured out of the train, piled Into automobiles and drove out to a public school field where they swarmed out into the snow in football togs. "Sick on the train?"

LEATHER PUSHERS HERE ARE ACTIVE Several Salem fighters have been appearing on out of town cards and more are expected to be used on the Sllverton fight card December 10 and at Albany December 15. Spike Gorman, Jack Duncan and Ray Brown appeared on the Stayton fight card given Tuesday. Gorman won his fight with a knockout in the third round. It was a left hook to the jaw which did the trick. A couple of the local fighters who are working out at the Club gymnasium have been promised placed on the next Sllverton card. December 10. Albany and several other valley towns will probably use some of the Salem scrappers in the near future. J new arrival in Salem is Si mon Berrichoa who comes from Shoshone, Idaho.

The var sity reported Monday for basket ball practice. There are many old timers coming back, such as Tv- ette, Hatfield, Dogeagle, Shoulder- blade, Hall and Thomas. It is too early ta even give a hint as to the first squad, as the doctor hasn t given examinations yet, and this may cut off some of the above mentioned. There is much interest In tha school 'concerning basketball this season. It is expected that about I 75 will report for the varsity and class B teams. These will be cut down to about 24 in two weeks and this number carried for the remainder of the season. The first game will probably be with Lin field college frosh as a practice game. Oregon City, comes to Chemawa December 18 with a strong squad. Mrs. T. W. BIckett, widow ot the former governor of North Carolina, has been elected for a third term as president of the North Carolina railroad. J IPs aMMMaBManMasawBmawawaMHMaaaBBBaBartSaMalavaMalBie4alaM rOTBALL coaches are ex pected by some folks to deal only in miracles. And, strange to say, many of them do. Take, for instance, that rotund leader of Oregon, the amiable "Doc" Spears. The remarkable comeback of his team following that demoralizing 53-0 defeat by Southern California was nothing short of being miraculous. But then "Doc" Spears is a fine coach and in addition is a psychologist. Spears himself was a great player some time ago and it's not so long ago, either. He helped make football history when be played on Dartmouth's Big Green line. His experience with the Green has been of great assistance to him, for today ha is rated a master of line play, and his teams art always powerful and well- rounded In other lines. The high brings results, witness his success A. . M . j spot of Oregon's play this season was the great and in some quar ters unexpected 14 to 6 victory over New York University. And when one takes into consideration the fact that the Pacific Coast boys visited the East minus their great backfleld star, Joe LHlard. the victories over Washington and N. T. U. are the more praise worthy. Truly a great comeback and a tribute to "Doc" Spears' ability as a coach and aa an or ganizer. And then we have the great GO Dobie tha Gloomy Gil of other days who came through with another great eleven at Cornell. Dobie has been at the top of the heap many times and he has also had his downs. But the 'haria genius of his football teachings these past few seasons, nartlcu- larly the one Just closed.

He has made the battered old derby famous by wearing it to every Fordhast game since 1928. Now, the story goes, the old head piece is to be molded into real iron and presented to Major Cavanaugh by the Sam Alumni Association. Sort of a permanent Ram trophy, as it were. rwntu. uo.
