DUNKLEY CHICAGO, Oct. IS (AP) Amos Alonzo SUgg, graod old man of American football, was forced out as director of athletics and head football coach at the University of Chi cago tonight after 40 years of service. The order for Stagg's retirement next June, coming as Squad -of 23 Includes Only One Able-Bodied Extra Man for Backfield Tilled with grim realization that for the first time in four seasons they are the "under dogs"; In Northwest conference football, 23 Willamette university gridmen accompanied by Coach "Spec" Keene boarded a train here early Thursday night. To night, under the flood lights in the Caldwell stadium, they will meet a veteran College of Idaho team which senses in this year's setup, a prime opportunity for revenge which may wipe out three successive defeats. Still uncertain as to whether Walt Erickson and Ed Frantz, billed as regulars at the opening of the season, will be able to play any major part in the game with the Coyotes, Coach Keene was uncertain up to the time of the squad's departure, Just what his starting lineup would be. Ev erything considered, especially the fact that Erickson and Frantz have done little practicing with the varsity and will not be able to time thiir movements with the others, it seemed probable that the same backfield which started against Washington State will be on the field at the be ginning of tonight's conflict: Orayec, Cannady, Paul and Ol son. Keith Jones is making the trip but stands little chance of playing for more than a short time. Dwight Adams is the only able-bodied reserve backfield man taken along. The line is better supplied, with Houck and Grs.nnis ready for duty at center, Boyd, Felton, Tweed and Woodworth at guard, Weisser, Jockisch. Connors and McKerrow at tackle. Kaiser. Crib ble, Clarke, Carson and Emmel at end. Coyotes Will Have Edge on Reserves Willamette will not be out weighed by College of Idaho but Coach Anse Cornell of the Coy otes will have all the adge on experience and teani develop ment, and especially in the mat ter of reserves. The altitude and the cold weather which the Bearcats may encounter, are oth er handicaps they will have to face. If Willamette loses this game. which seems probable, it will not necessarily be out of the race. All of the- remaining games are at home with the possible excep tion of the one with Pacific, which will be played here or in Portland. The Willamette team will be stronger when the num erous cripples round into con dition, and it may make a bet ter showing later in the season k JP V , Recalls Cochran, Coach of Bend Eleven; Squad of 20 to Make Trip When the red and black clad I warriors of Salem high and the blue and gold Lava Bears of Bend a stunning surprise to the intercollegiate athletic world and to Stagg, was ascribed to a rule high get together on the gridiron providing that no member of the at Bend tomorrow afternoon, the faculty shall continue to hold a game will be more than an inter- post after reaching the age of 70. sectional contest between unbeat- Stagg became 70 August 16. en squads which have never met Tne trnstees created ft new po- before.

Phil Salstrom, only letterman in the Parrish lineup, scintillated as a ball carrier, tearing off one run of 40 yards for a touchdown and others from 20 yards up, crossing the double chalk mark four times in all. Hoffert and Hughey divided the other two touchdowns between them. Par rish scored three times in each half. The teams were about equal in weight and the West Linn boys could hardly have been lees ex perienced than those from Par rish, but Hauk's lads started In with a lot of drive and swept their opponents off their feet. Hauk admitted that his team looked a lot better than it did a week ago against the Salem high B" squad. He will now start grooming his boys- for the contest with Sclo high, here next Friday afternoon.

Now 11 men have to battle 44 or so, or if the coach at the little school makes replacement. It's at the expense of quality. JWe have one of thoe lit tit schools in Salem. Willamette hasn't kicked; if it didn't want to play the big schools, it didn't have to. But every year, playing a couple of big schools has pot an awful crimp in Spec Keene's style. After his boys have ram med into a. couple of stone wali. it s hard to bring them arounl to a realization that they can cope with teams tlwir own sin on even terms. This year the Oregon Staif game, for some reason, was cru cially hard on the Bearcat squad; about five of the Willamette regu lars have done no playing sine. There was some informal mention of wholesale clipping. Anyway, :: was costly. The Washington State game, on the other band, prod need n lengthy casualty list and actual ly helped the Willamette team find itself. Babe Hollingbery. we have heard, is a gentlemanly fellow who teaches his boy clean football and doesnt be lieve in rubbing it in on the lit tle fellow. O Now in golf, for purposes if pleasurable competition there hac been developed a system of handi capping; so many strokes per IK holes, based on what scores tt opposing players have averaged in the past. Wonder if there's ary way to do that in football? Spotting the little college 2 or 0 points wouldn't really help, because ft would be too obvious. Many times it has been suggested that the big eoUege be limited to 22 players' or so. or whatever number the lit tit fellow can muster. But why not another system that would make, of these uneven contests, fairly well matched games in which the lesser lights of the big squads would get thefr chance to shine ? By a little experimenting, a basU of handicapping could b arrived at, and then the coach for the little college coul'I scratch off a certain number of names from the big college's aqnad roster; any name be wished.
