Cantonwine Uses Headlocks
To Wear Count Down in
Match at Armory
Howard Cantonwine proved
that he had something other than
football tactics to offer in the
wrestling game, in Friday night's
main event at the armory when
he subdued Count Harkovosky
with a series of headlocks. The ex
grldder won the first fall in that
manner after 33 H minutes of ac
tion that was lively considering
the men's bulk, and had the Rus
sian in such weakened condition
at the end of the round that he
fell easy prey after the five min
utes' rest.
Cantonwine went after his
groggy opponent in such business
like fashion when they resumed
the fray, that his headlocks set
tled the match in just 40 seconds
more.
The big boys, weighing 232 and
22? pounds respectively with Can
tonwine holding the edge, showed
surprising speed for their size,
and they were not a bit averse to
using plenty of rough stuff. After
a bit of that they would call a
halt, shake hands and beg each
other's pardon, promise not to do
it again and then repeat the per
formance. Fans were a bit disappointed at
Cantonwlne's rather easy victory,
but were much interested in see
ing these men. the biggest and
most noted yet to appear here,
do their "stuff.-
Joe Gardinier of Portland got
the best of Jack Bretnano in a
whirlwind bout, winning the only
fall in 25 minutes with a back
ward body slam. It was a clean,
scientific bout that pleased the
crowd.
Frank Lockhart and Dale Jory,
local boys just breaking into the
professional game, wrestled to a
draw. Lockhart winning the first
fall in 5 H minutes with a son
nenberg and body press, and Jory
taking the second with a shouMer
butt in nine minutes.
Parrish Has
Prospect of
Poor Season
Coach Frank Brown of Parrish
Junior high states that there is
little hope of duplicating the win
ning spells his teams have enjoy
ed in the past as he is working
with an altogether new bunch of
men and the only experienced'
performers are small.
However Brown is working Lis
gang constantly and is endeavor
ing to convert some of the foot
ball men to the maple court. No '
tall men are on hand with suffi-'
clent experience so Verne DeJar-
din, who wf3 a substitute on last
year's team. Is being used as cen
ter how.
Salstrom and Steinke are the
forwards b'ng tried at present
and though both are small, they
gained considerable basketball
experience last reason on the Tro
jan team. Both are good shots,
though not exceptionally speedy.
Gwinn and York are the pres
ent guards with White and Don
Coons alternating. Wirtz is being
used at center some and Carter
and Baxter are other forwards
who are working to learn the
game. Others on the squad in
clude Luther, Qnesseth, Dyer find
Glasier.
The team held a practice scrim
mag with the Sacred Heart Aca
demy Friday night and will have
a few more such practice tilts in
preparation for the opening game.
The first game of the season
will be played against Newberg
junior high December 18. Brown
is predicting tough sledding in
tha.t game and probable defeat.

COMMENTS
For tTc last several days
we've been a little bit puzzled
about that snow bushiews up at
Walla Walls, but it all appears
to be straightened out now.
We're stUI convinced that the
snow chiseled the Bearcats out
of a chance to score on what
from all 'evidences v as a weak
defensive team that they should
have scored on and most likely
should have beaten; but the re
cent disclosure reveal that
Nlg" Borleskc has some de
fense, against the claim that he
refused to allow the now to be
removed.
-O-
Here's what puzzled us; a let
ter to the Oregonlan by H. Sher
man Mitchell of Walla Walla:
"At 10 o'clock Thursday morn
ing Borleske. Spec Keene. Lestle
Snatks. Willamette graduate
manager, and a Salem newspaper
man visited the field, viewed the
situation, talked It over from all
angles and at the conclusion Bor
leske told Keene:
" 'Spec, I'll do whatever you
want."
"Keene replied that 'we'll
leave it as it it.' "
Our original information was
that Keene had been strong for
having the snow removed. But
after his team was beaten,
Keene didn't want to alibi, and
said nothing; and when that
letter appeared in the Oregon
lan, he said it was "substan
tially correct.'
But now we have a letter from
Borleske which, to our mind, ex
plains the whole situation. We
haven't room for all of it but will
not purposely leave out any part
to weaken hie argument:
"I am very sorry, indeed, that
the present athletic relations be
tween Willamette university and
Whitman college have been mar
red by the various articles ap
pearing in certain papers in the
nor Rarest.
"One would gather from these
articles that the snow was plated
on the field intentionally by my
self In order to handicap the Wil
lamette players. I have been at
Whitman college 17 years, and
this Is the first time during that
period that we have played in the
snow .... Under these conditions,
it is very easy to see that both
rain and snow are a tremendous
handicap to us.
"This la especially true this
year, because we have a rather
light backfield, and our stellar
man, Applegate, weighs less than
ISO pounds and depends absolute
ly upon his change of pace, shift
iness, and sidestepping ...
"As there was snow on the
ground , Wednesday afternoan.
Whitman did practice In the anow
that afternoon. Wo had to, If wo
were going to get any work-out.
I told Mr. Felgate, my assistant,
ter accounted for by the almost
unanimous selection of Captain
William Barry Wood, Jr., of Har
vard for the key position of quar
terback. All told, on the All-America
squad of 33 players, including
second and third teams, 14 places
go to the big mid-western area,
eight to the east, five to the far
west and one to the southwest.
The south's two crack ends.
Captain Gerald Dalrymple of Tu
lane and Vernon (Catfish) Smith
of Georgia, ran away from all
rivals In the nation-wide balloting
by sports editors and writers.
On the other hand, the far
west's brace of honor men, Erny
Plnckert of Southern California,
back, and Paul Schwegler of the
University of Washington, tackle,
won their positions only after the
keenest competition everywhere
along the voting settors.
Pinckert, who duplicated
Schwartz' achievement in gaining
All-America honors for the sec
ond year in a row, won a close
contest from Gene McEver, Ten
nessee's powerhouse, for the
fourth backfield position by a
marglu of only four votes.
Oregon is conspicuous for Us
lack of representation on the All
America selections. In the list of
honorable mention players occur
the names of Hammer, Oregon
Stte center, and Moe, Oregon
State back.
at that time that it would be bet
ter to play in the snow than to
scrape it off and run the risk of
injuring the players on the hard,
frozen ground ....
"Thursday morning I went
down to the hotel and saw Mr.
Keene and Mr. Sparks and asked
them to go with me out to the
field. I explained to them that I
did not think It advisable to scrape
the field and told them that we
had practiced In the snow the aft
ernoon before and had used jer
sey gloves, and told them where
we purchased them. Keene asked
me to wait until he personally
could see that the purchase was
made. I did so. We then went out
to the field together. I explain
ed to Keene and Sparks that in
my best judgment it was not ad
visable to try to take the snow
off the field and told them why.
As the weather report stirjws, the
ground was frozen underneath;
It was still snowing; we have a
turf field so at beet only a part
of the snow could be taken off,
and It would still leave the 6nowy,
slippery field, and in addition
the snow cushion to break the fall
upon the hard ground would be
removed. After we had gone
over everything, I turned to
Keene and said, 'Spec, I will do
Just as you say. If you want the
snow removed, I will do every
thing I can to see that it is done,'
and Keene replied to 'let it ride.'
"As for having special cleats
. . . . we used exactly the same
cleats in the game last Thursday
that we used at Salem last year."
Now all that would be a com
plete defense for Mr. Borleske
except for two or three
things. Evidently Borleske had
decided definitely the night be
fore the game that the snow
wtftild not be removed at least
the morning newspaper said it
wouldn't. Note that Borleske
does not claim Keene didn't
protest against that decision.
The fact Is that Keene did pro
test, before that asserted conver
sation, and the letter shows that
Borleske had numerous argu
ments against removing the anow.
And Mr. Mitchell la right In say
ing that a Salem newspaperman.
Fred Zimmerman, did go to the
field with that group but Fred
did not go out on the field and
did not hear the conversation. In
stead, he cleared off a place on
the sidelines and found that THE
GROUND WAS NOT FROZEN.
Just as Jim Nutter, the Statesman
reporter on the scene, found later
on, and despite a letter from the
Walla Walla meteorologist which
accompanies Borleske's letter and
relates what the temperature had
been. Even If it had been frozen,
the turf and the. snow which
couldn't be removed would have
prevented any special danger of
injuries.
And there you are. Probably
too much has been said about
that snow already. We're mere
ly givm Borleske's defense and
pointed out certain flaws rn it,
mmA mow we're through with
that subject.

BEARCAT HOPES
YET UNCERTAIN
informal Scrimmage, First
Of Season Held Friday
With Coach Away
Rather an Informal scrimmage
wound up the week's basketball
practice at Willamette university
Friday, though Coach "Spec"
Keene was not there.
During the first week, the
turnout has been varied with
each practice as some of the foot
ball men have been resting part
of the time and one or two oth
ers have been temporarily inel
igible. The complete squad will prob
ably be assembled Monday and
will Include about 10 or 11 men
who have played here before.
Keene may decide to keep a few
of the freshmen on the varsity
squad, depending on which posi
tions of the first team seem to
need reinforcements.
Until Friday, no scrimmage
had been held by the Bearcats.
Mass drill in pivoting, sidestep
ping and passing was held. Con
siderable time wag also spent on
a warmup drill with three men
working the ball into the basket.
Jim Burdette and several of
the new men on. the squad are
doing well on shots from behind
the foul line. A great deal of
time has been spent by the squad
practicing these shots and also
follow-up attempts.
Only two Letter
Wearers Reporting
Kloostra and Scales are the
only lettermen who reported
during the week's drill. Both ap
pear to be in good early season
condition and Kloostra is show
ina accuracy on close shots. With
his height it is easy for him to
get up over the heads of the
guards.
Kaiser is another of last year's
men who is going good now. He
is tall and rangy and displays
considerable Shiftiness. Faber,
Hartley and Moore, all from last
year's squad, are working hard
and showing good form In their
playing.
Griffith, Larnard and Frantz,
all from last season's freshman
squad, show promise. Frantz is a
good jumper and covers a lot of
territory at guard.
Three men taking the ball on
offense against two guards has
also been practiced during the
week to give drill on working In
for short shots. In Friday's
scrimmage several nice plays
were made by both of the teams.
However the men were not in
good enough condition to form
defense against a fast breaking
attack.
