Tthuf Mi ' T77 O ' V MEETS !! TOUGH FOE m Bearcats Given Strenuous: Work; Face Fast Rosebuds In Next Clash Wednesday ' BULLDOGS WlAY PROVE .THREAT Newcomer Claims Victories , Over Wildcat Pete and jj Yaqui Joe ia Past - Tonljht Ernie Arthur, middle weight champion of Canada, will me$t "Devil Dog" Jackson of Call i fornla In a scheduled two boor wrestling match at the armory on Matchmaker Harry Plant's card. Arthur has never seen Jackson r perform and Is planning to take no chances on stalling around .In the match. His intention Is to go Tight but after Jackson. Arthur is expecting a tough match as Jack ' son has defeated Wildcat Pete and Yaqui Joe. ; Whether Jackson ever tangled , with 'a kangaroo or not. he is re ' ported to be one of the best or the Australian mlddlewelghts. He has : wrestled considerably on the isl i and continent and also in Califor nia and Texas. ,l Ernie Arthur has changed his style of wrestling considerably ; since first appearing in Salem. He has now taken up with numerojis flying holds and a more spectacu ' Ur attack. ' ' He has always been active in the ring, but has now" come to rely more on speed than previous ly. Arthur vied with Reed tor prodmlnence In the huge wrestl ing tournament recently staged In , the middle-west. Robin Reed, the winner was the only one grappler who defeated him. Gives Customers Plenty of Actios . i At that time he was forced to . make 145 pounds at the ringside ' and his best weight is around 149 pounds, at which figure he now wrestles. He has more reserve strength at his present weight than he did when he was forced to take qff several pounds. -- Though Arthur is not a concert - of "dirty" wrestling, he employs punishing holds and gives the crowd plenty of thrills. He is him self a tough customer and strong, being able to absorb a lot of pun ishment I Just as speedy and spectacular a match, though not such a long one, will be seen In the opening 45 minute bill with Jack Brentano and Art O'Reilly meeting. O'Reilly Is well pleased with the victory he won from "Speed" Weiura here and the draw with Prof Newton, In his last two matches staged here. However he is meeting a more experienced grappler in Jack Brentano and one more capable of guarding against his foxy stuff. About the biggest crowd ever ' ' assembled here for a wrestling match saw the Reed-Arthur boat and a large crowd is expected to night as the middleweight shows prove more popular than the , heavyweight bills here.' y ojiKtr Full program of sport events tonight, marking the end of the Christmas holidays lull which wasn't ewch a lull at that. To night we .have Ernie Arthur aDd "Devil Dog" Jackson at the armory, a couple of Salem high teams playing the boy a from Woodburn, and' Parrish taking on Turner high between the 18 lnch hoops. Ernie explains his change of style as one that was forced upon him. He wasn't having much trou ble stopping the other Canadians up ' around Trail, B. C, -Toronto and way points, before his first trip down here a year or so ago, but when he got into the big show back east, he found that the world had wagged onward and left him behind. Now he has caught up again, and his new "stuff" is not only effective but it pleases the fans better. Astoria beat Wood burn 54 to 15 the other day, and tonight's game here will furnish a basis of ' comparison between the Cherrians and the Fishermen. However, there's little doubt bat that Astoria could trinT13a lem high pretty badly now; the only hope for local fans la that Huntington will speed his boys up until they're in state tourna ment class again. Had a visit yesterday from L, F. Thompson, manager of Kim Al bertson, -recently of Detroit. Al bertson is a lightweight fighter and Thompson modestly claims for the boy that he is the next champion of the world in that di vision. Albertson has scored victor ies over .Babe Herman, Billy West, Ritchie Mach and Blickey Dolan, t mention only a few whose names may mean some thing to Salem fans The best news of all is that Al bertson is going to settle down right here and work out in Phil Bayes' gymnasium, and hopes to line up some fights in the near fu ture. Salem has been shy a real i top notch scrapper for lo, these many lean years, and if Albertson and the town take to each other, it will be a great thing. At the start of a new year, Wll- amette - university's basketball outlook is hardly championship high and Coach "Spec" Keene Is trying to remedy the situation by giving protracted practices to- his squad. Three non -conference games are scheduled for this week. The Bearcats have dropped three games out of four starts this season and do not look a great deal more like a basketball team than they did in the opening contest, which was incidentally the one game they took. The players appeared none too lively in the long practice held fefonday afternoon, but did show a few flashes of life .when a real Lscrimmage was started. Even the "Pollyanna observ ers who are, always picking ine Bearcats as Northwest conference favorites, are viewing ' the situa tion dubiously now' with' Willam ette's stock resting near second or third place at best. Coach "Nig" Borleska has al most all of his last year's squad back at Whitman and the Flor sheim players report' that he has two teams of about equal ability. It seems that the renowned Buddy Applegate, who showed flashes of good basketball last year, has blossomed Into a real threat now. In the games here last March ha was strong - in every department except shooting. The Bearcats do not play any conference games until the latter part of this month. Three tough games are slated for this' week with, the Ro ebuds of Portland coming here Wednesday night Friday and Saturday nights the Florshelm five will be met to de termine the city championship. The Rose' ud team is one of the best in Portland, finishing higher In the city standing last year than the Multnomah clpb outfit. The Rosebuds have always ranked as one of the best teams In the state and Keene' s big boys will have a tough assignment Coach Keene is still experi menting with his tall men to get a speedy combination. Kloostra has shown up well this season and will probably get the call at cen ter. His shooting Is Improved over last year, but he still lacks ag gressiveness In floor play. Kaiser and Carpenter are show ing up well at guard positions and Griffith i3 doing well at for ward. "Squee" Kitchen is becom ing accustomed to the Willamette 8 trie of play and should be a valu able man when he becomes more used to close guarding. Come i Tonight for First of I County League Games For Holly's men Tonight the Salem high bas ketball team will meet the Wood burn high five on the local floor in the first game of the season against av county opponent. The game, tonight and- Fri day's game against Bllverton high here, wlU demonstrate what cal ibre team Salem will put Into the field this season. Woodburn Is in the habit of giving Salem' close games In bas ketball and Is particularly strong on Its own floor. It Is expected that the Woodburn team will be playing up to Its best form to night as it. has been practicing hard in anticipation of this game. Have won Three Snecesslve Games Coach "Holly" Huntington's men dropped their first game of the season which was played with the speedy Benson Tech team .of Portland.- Since that time four games have been played and. won by the Cherrians. However two of. these were from the alumni and the ethers from University high of Eugene and Jefferson high of Portland, two unproven teams. No great changes have been made In the Salem high lineup. Saehtler Is almost fully recov ered from his hip Injury and will be back with Sanford at guard. Saehtler is doing good work this season. Burrell will start at center while Kelly will probably be the running mate of Bone at for ward. This combination Is fairly speedy and may be able to de velop further speed. Coach Vernon GUmore's B team will meet the Woodburn high B team in a preliminary contest which will start at 7 o'clock. The B team will also play the Silverton B team Friday night. Babe Facing, Tussle Over 1932Salary By ALAN GOULD NEW YORK, Jan. 4 (AP) Babe Ruth, the big business man, is in mid-season condition for. any debate, whether it involves his golf game, his It 11 pay-check or the major, league home run crown. "Never felt better In my lit e," Ruth bellowed today when the an nual cross-examination on '. the subject of his health and waist line was conducted. ' Artie McGovern. who for near ly 10 years has helped keep' the big fellow In good physical shape, says Ruth Is In better trim now, with hi 18th birthday barely a month off, than he has been at any time In the past four or five years. He has a-new contract to sign. Colonel Ruppert, the Yankees' owner, has said he will never write another $80,000 - paycheck. The babe, as he did a year ago be fore "compromising" on the salary Question, is marshalling the fig ures to show why he should not be paid much If anything less In Ills for doing better In 1931 than most everybody expected.

I11N FINED FOR LIQUOR POSSESSION House concurrent resolution No. 3, approved by the 1931 legisla ture, merely expresses the opin ion that there should be a survey of all state institutions under the direction of the state board of control, and authorizes the expen diture of $500, Attorney General VanWinile held in an opinion handed down Monday. The money required for the survey shall be paid out of the regular biennial appropriation for the state board of control. The survey would deal prlnci pally with the needs of the vari ous state institutions, with partle uiar reierence to lands, new buildings,, equipment, furnishings, Improvements and personnel. It would corer a period of 10 years in the future. - The resolution suggested that Charles Vasaly, superintendent of the Minnesota state reformatory, be asked to assist in conducting the survey. The appropriation of 3500 Included in the resolution was to. cover Mr. Vasaly's expen ses In coming to Oregon. Other persons required In con ducting the survey would be drafted from the present official and operating personnel of the state. The opinion was requested by Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state. Parrish Will Play Turner Five Tonight Parrish junior high will bite off another mouthful of the Marion county B league basketball sched ule when it meets Turner high here tonight. Parrish has been winner of the league for two years, but Coach Brown has stated that he does not feel so optimistic over this sea son's prospects. However his team beat Turner, 20 to 6 in a game played at Turner in December. Parrish also defeated the New- berg junior high by a slim mar gin in the opening game of the season, but will probably 'strike harder going Friday night at Newberg when the Yamhill jun iors are met for a return game. Coons and DeJardin are the guards on Brown's team and Wlrtz is playing center.- Salstrom Stelnke, Carter, Dyer and White are the forwards of the squad. None of these have been outstand ing enough yet to have cinches on the team. The Parrish Trojans will meet a suitable opponent in an opening game tonight at 7 o'clock. WOODBURN, Jan. 4 Wood burn high school's basketball team, under' the tutelage of James Miller, has been putting In a number of good practice ses sions during that 'school's Christ is a s vacation, building up strength for Its first game after the holidays, when the Bulldogs meet the Cherrians of Salem high school. The game will be played In Salem Tuesday even ing, January 5. During the vacation period the Bulldogs took a long trip to As toria, where the - local team ran up against a superior team. The final score was 54 to 15, for the Fishermen. Although the Wood burnites were doped to be beaten before the game, the local team gained a lot of valuable experi ence playing with a team of that class.
