earcahQrid . Turnout First Day us Bess Thau Last Wear '(l Old SI GillS BACK Jones, Connors and Kaiser Are Expected Here by End of Week Little more than half as many grid men responded yesterday for Willamette university's opening grid practice as did last year. Coach "Spec" Keene announced following the first day's work out that he would depend large ly on last year's men in building his 1932 Bearcat grid machine. Not more than 20 men were on Sweetland field at any tme time during the afternoon's prac tice, but the total number there for the day was close to 2 a. . Walter Erlckson. phenominal Bearcat halfback is entering his fourth and last season of play for j Willamette. Erickson and Loren i Grannis were the only regulars from last season who reported Monday, though Fred Paul who was there is almost in the classi fication of a regular and with added beef this year, gives prom ise of making a strong bid for first team honors. State Game Worries There will be three more re gulars returning. Keith Jones will be here Saturday, Jack Con nors "Weenie" Kaiser, regulars, are expected at the same time. This will make four regular linemen returning and with oth er talented beef from last season on band the prospects for a staunch forward wall are bright, after the season has progressed more. The principal worry now is the game with Oregon State college September 24, less - than two weeks distant and no hopes now of having the full squad out more than a week. With thft fpiinwa on Band ana those expected to return this week. Willamette should have a fairly strong first team, but as yet little reserve material is in sight. Almost every position on the team will give Coach Keene plenty of concern, but to find three or four good ends will probably cause more temple plucking than any other item Woodworth Shifted, End Wallace McCrae was the only letterman end in sight at the (.opening practice, but Keene is ifting Miles Woodworth to that pSMtlon. "weenie" Kaiser, wno turned in such a sparkling exhi- bitionat Walla Walla last year. will be back by the last of the week and will doubtless be put right to work. After two years of intermit- tent football. Joe Felton 1b out in earnest this year and his 195 pounds, thrown together in "Mack truck" proportions, wilT he felt at tackle. Keith Jones will be back for a tackle berth later this week and it is expected that Jack Connors will be shifted at tackle. Dave Drager is another letterman returning for tackle and Carl Welsser is also expected to be oat. - , Numerous reserve guards are required by "Spec" Keene, but enly one letterman, Marlon Boyd, was in sight. Fred Smith is ex pected oat today and the two make a tough pair, but unless reserves can be found, a bad hole at times may result. Grannis May Be Half Loren Grannis is back to cen ter If needed there, but may pos sibly be shifted to a blocking Halfback. Bob Houck is a steady performer at center and will be I ..tn.M. if v.- Tv.f a valuable man if he can perfect 40 JPCftOO Another verse of Keene's theme song will be "Just one more fallback," to alternate with Man- iii uobc nuu a fred "Ole" Olson who should have a great year. Fred Paul was the only sig nal barker on hand, but Eddie Frantx will be out today. Walt Erickson and George Cannady were halfbacks ton hand. Walt Erkkaon has always been the hard working genius of Willam ette from his first game and will probably gun for unparalleled records now. Cannady appears to be. in good condition and looks like he might be able to fling passes this year, which would aoubie nis value as everyone knew the play last year when this dusky speedster got the ball.. Others from last year's squad present were Bill Tull. Feathers. George Koehler and Walt Com mons. They are all linemen . The smallest handful of new comers - in years appeared, but , more will probably be here later. Ross Brown, a transfer from Southern Oregon normal and Paul Morets of Klamath Falls will bid for guard honors. Hunt Clarke of Lebanon Is a speedy end who shows possibilities. Rich ard Wise of Vancouver, Wash., and William Cope from Montana are backs who are new entrants. Robert "Red" McKerrow of Portage, Montana, a 222 pound behemoth who towers six-feet-six, looks like great material for some future time. Falco Whipped By Bass; Boiit Season Opens PHILADELPHIA.

By ALAN GOULD Associated Pess Sports Editor FIVE FARMS COURSE, Balti more Country Club, Sept. 12 (AP) American golfing youth launched ' its second successive fling at the United States amateur golf championship today as a bril liant young newcomer, 20-year-old Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati, holder of the National intercolleg iate title, shot out In front with parbustlng 69 for the first 18 holes of the 36-hole qualifying battle. Fischer topped an all star in ternational field of 154 starters by two strokes in a day marked by some surprising youthful sorties, several notable come-backs by the "old guard," including Chandler Egan and Chick Evans, and a flock of unexpected reversals for the American as well as the Brit ish Walker cup forces. Westland Nearest Rival Fischer's nearest rival in the big scramble for the 32 matchplay qualifying positions was Jack Westland of Chicago who finished with a 71, one over par. The pursuit of Fischer fell short all afternoon. George Voigt, New York veteran, finished with a 72 and in a deadlock with Johnny Goodman of Omaha, 19-year-old Charley Yates, Georgia state champion, Billy Blaney of Boston, former New England amateur titleholder, and Dwight Armstrong of Lancaster, Pa. Well np in the fast company, with 73 each, were H. Chandler Egan of Del Monte, Calif., cham pion in 1904-05; Ross Somerville, Canadian star; SIgney W. Noyes, Jr., former Yale captain; and Wil fred Crossley of Boston, former Massachusetts Junior champion and a freshman this fall at Har vard. Where newcomers like Fischer and Yates, a Georgia tech sopho more, both making tlieir debut in this tournament, shot into the spotlight, other highly-favored American youngsters fell by the wayside. Moe Takes 80 Charley Seaver of Los Angeles, with a 75 and Gus Moreland of Dallas, the western amateur champion, with a 76. were fairly well entrenched for the final qual ifying round but most of their teammates were on the ragged edge. George T. Dunlap, Jr.," of New York and Maurice McCarthy, Jr., another Metropolitan star, each needed 77. Don Moe of Portland, Ore., used up 80 strokes. Billy Howell, youthful Richmond star and a 1931 semi- finalist, virtually eliminated him self with a disastrous 83, as did his fellow Virginian, Chandler Harper. The apprehension on behalf of many noted stars was due to the prospect It would take at least 153 and possibly 152 to make the qualifying grade tomorrow. This would be the lowest in the 36 year history of the American championship. Indian Killed by Switch Engine A t Pendleton PENDLETON.

O'Reilly and Newton Show They Can Wrestle, After Prof Gets Award on Foul Can Art O'Reilly and Prof New ton Teally wrestle or are they merely spectacular showmen? They can both wrestle and Art O'Reilly appears to be the better at true wrestling, Salem fans were su prised te learn at last night's wrestling match. It all happened like this: Art and the Prof, had divided falls and after Referee Vern Har rington had frequently given the bout a "battle royal" aspect by manhandling the contestants, the bout was awarded to Newton on a foul. As the pair of grapplers mixed back-stage, it was decided to bring them back to the ring for a grudge fight which had no bearing on the winner-take-all bout that was awarded on the foul. The pair forgot showmanship the hospital a leg was amputated in an effort to save his life. Au thorities said the man apparently had gone to sleep on the track.

In the main event Henry Jones quickly dispatched Bo Campbell, who put up a spectacular showing for 13 minutes, but went the way of much young talented wrestling flesh that gets over anxious, when opposing Henry Jones, the old fox from Provo, Utah. Jones was on the ropes when Campbell rushed him and in a self-defense gueeture Jones met Campbell's onslaught with a stiff elbow, which took Campbell back of the ear and knocked him out The body press applied subse quently by Jones was a mere formality, as Campbell was unable to continue the bout.

By HARDIN BURNLEY - Mow to Newark and the Bears, a really great team in 1931, despite the fact that they lost the pennant to Roch ester, were materially strength ened. In Al Mamaox, former big league hurler and at one time famous all over the National League circuit lor nis melodious voice, the Bears had aa able manager. Ruppert was quick to realize 'AJ's capabilities and knew that with additional tal ent players good enough to be regulars of the Yanks bat not sea soned enough to replace veterans Mamaux could tarn oat a win ner. And that is just what has happened, at feast it looks so at present writing with the Bears well out in front. Newark is all agog ever the pos sibilities.
