Only Exceptions Built up from a foun&ation of the best unit which he Inherited from a predecessor, a strong, bird fighting Albany college football team will be brought here Friday night by Roy Lappenbnsch, new mentor at the Pirate Institution, In an effort to put a nick in the new born and chimerical North w o s t conference championship hopes of the Bearcats. Last year the Albany team, which scored two touchdowns against Willamette and was beat en only by rirtue of a spectacular parsing attack, was particularly strong at tackle. Those same tackles, Hauswlrth and Leflar, will be here again Friday night to participate in the stopping of tho Bearcats. Cox, an end, is the only other veteran still holding a line job, but sereral others of last year's regulars are listed among the reserves, Indicating that Lappenbnsch has found men he considers better, among his freshman crop. Miller and Leflar Shine on Defense Outstanding among these is a lad named Miller, who along with Leflar has been a big stumbling block in the road of opposing teams. On the opposite end from Cox will be seen Lewelllng, And the guards are Sudtell and Kamp fer. The backfield, up to a week or so ago, was composed largely of new men, but since then Bob Buchanan, who used to be known as the "one-man team," reported for duty and he Is now regularly Installed at left half. For three previous seasons, Buchanan has been -the battering ram which brought down Bearcat ball car riers and catapulted through the line for substantial gains. So far Albany has done little threaten ing at Its opponents' goal lines, but Buchanan's return Insures that it will from now on, especial ly since he will hare the aid, this season, of that staunch line. Bpeedy Backfield Men Are Available Teaming wKh Buchanan In the backfield are Brude Dowling, well known here because of his semi pro ball activity with the Albany Alcos over a number of years. He also played with the Salem Senat ors at various time. Though new to college football, he is an' old head in athletic competition and has shown marked ability In run ning the team. Another notable member of the backfield quartet is Joe Martin, a freshman of surprising speed. Last week a fleet St. Martins back dashed through the Albany team and was on his way to the goal line, but Martin overtook him and hauled him down. McGee, a hard hitting fullback, completes the list of regulars. TO DEFEAT SM ALBANY, Oct. 18 (Special ) After a rest of two weeks, the Al bany high school football .team will tackle Salem high on the lo cal gridiron Friday afternoon. , Chances for winning over Sa lem are better than at any time during the last few years. Albany high has a good club this season, and with the added advantage of playing on the home field will put forth a first-class battle. Injuries received in the Tilla mook' game two weeks ago are healed, and the entire squad will be available for action. The game will be played on Central field, beginning at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. ' Roosevelt High Defeats Grant By 6-2 Margin PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 18 (AP) Launching an lrreeistable first period offensive. Roosevelt high school defeated Grant high 6 to 2.

WAV 'EMPWb "TaTACK 19327 Km Tnnm SvnAcaie." W Crm TWO Pacific coast giant do battle this weekend, and many experts view the en counter as a "make or break" game for both contestants. And so, when Stanford lines up against Southern California, the clash will be keenly watched throughout the country. Southern California, the 1931 champion team, has proved that its 1932 edition is a worthy successor to last year's steam rolling combina tion.

His col umn burst forth in yesterday's Issue of the Democrat-Herald, and he promises to devote it to Albany teams, Albany players and Albany fans. He is a son of Willard Marks, recently the "lieutenant governor." O "The Salem high school golf team' Is showing a lot of promise and will probably be in the run ning again when stat tournament times comes around next spring. The boys defeated Corvallis Sat urday, 10 to 1 on the Salem club course, after winning the previous Saturday.

Jones teems to have found what he needed in Irvine Warburton, Bob McNeiah, Homer Griffith and sev eral ethers. The game against Utah just about convinced experts that Southern California is the team to beat for top honors on the coast. The Trojans stepped on the Utes 35-0. In Pop Warner's Stanford team, however, Southern California is go ing to find something exhilarating for Trojan blood, pressure. Stan ford started this year with great hopes. Despite some serious losses except Dick Pierce who halved with young Ingalls, son of the Corvallfs editor-postmaster. O Employes all over the coun try, according to the democrats, are asking their boswes: "Hoo ver you going to ask us to vote for?" O Even so, it strikes us that the big political issue in revival of business, and if the business peo ple want Hoover The Associated Press, we hear, was slightly misinformed about that game over at Cald well last week when it credited Cannady with one of the touch downs. Cannady did intercept a Coyote pass which led to a touchdown, but Oravec scored that one as well as one of the other:. O Emil Hauser says that winning play in Portland last Saturday aft er the final gun had sounded may have, been a thriller, but he'll still vote for the last minute 80-yard punt return whereby Jim Thorpe of Carlisle beat Pennsylvania back in 1911. Hauser was one of those who helped cut down the Quakers. which included Harry Hi&man. crack quarterback. Spud Hardy, and a flock of other graduating gridiron stars. Pop Warner ha-, found enough first rate material tc hammer up a grand team. The optimism of Stanford fans was given a boost by the 20-7 trouncing the big Ted team handed San Francisco. If Southern California is the team to beat this year, Stanford is one of the teams that is given more than an even chance to turn the trick. Can they do it? CbottIcM. ItZi. Ittni luluni Smdifit. Inc Probably you never heard of a game being won after the fi nal gunshot previous to that one In Portland; bnt out of the thousands of small football games, played and unreported except In their own locality, it probably has happened dozens of times, at least. For Instance, It happened in a game between a junior high and a high school freshman team, last Friday In Bend, just the day before the Portland occurrence. A punt was blocked on the last play and after the time officially ended, a player of the Mocking side fell on the ball behind the goal line. O I general- j A new angle in that ship problem concerning Portland game, bobs up in a port that the score board says ' theije were two minutes left to i play,' when it all happened. But if I Bowerman or Callison had ben j banking on that time being right. ! it seems to us that a pass would I have been even more inatl visa hie. O "High Climber" at Eugene ! sort of lays gentle blame upon the quarterback, with never an inference that Callison might have ordered the pass. Ou the other hand "Orange PeelinV at Corvallis emphasizes that it must have been Callison, be cause Elmer Brorn Is nothing but a passer. -"Orange PeelinV also asserts that Callison pulled another boner just previously when he yanked Poszo an Morse, great defensive ends, when the Uclans had reach ed the 8-yard line. He says Bailey, one of the substitutes sent in, was boxed on the next play whereby Ucla scored. But. say ''Orange Peelin's," yon don't read a thing about all this in the university minded Portland press, whereas it Oregon State had done the same, it would have been howled about for a week. Nobody, so far, has brought up the point that our old friend "Elmer the Great" was one of tl.-e two who let Livesay slip away with that, goaMo-goal play. If Elmer Is known to bo . weak on pass defense, there's another one to be charged up. And still we have no patience with the wolves we mentioned yesterday. . Yesterday while we were oat , checking up on the'- football ' quads, a neat parcel of vewl oa was placed ear, our desk,'. ,ltb. a note revealing that the ' . donor was Ones Olson, speed boat vrlaard, bojdnjr commissi ow ecretary and general booster for all sport.

Uschaa graciasj Ona Game Today on Junior High ' Gridiron; Parrish to Play Scio Friday This week's busy schedule of football for local fans opens to day, with Leslie junior high meet ing the Dallas high school second team on the Leslie gridiron. The Dallas squad Is selected from the freshman and sophomore classes and is therefore theoretically on a par with junior high teams. The game Is scheduled for 3:30 p. m. on the Leslie gridiron. Leslie defeated a similar team from Dallas 2 f to 0 a year ago. but Coach Gurnee Flesh er, of the local school, says ha has no In formation as to whether the visi tors will be 'stronger than they were at that time or not. The Dallas team is coached by Bob Kutch. a Willamette university graduate. Flesher plans to use practically the same lineup which he started against Oregon City junior high last Friday. In that game Leslie played better football than Flesh er had expected It would, and came home with a 28 to 0 victory. Parrish junior high is getting ready to entertain Scio high on OUnger field Friday afternoon. Parrish defeated Scio 13 to 0 last year but Coach Beal of Scio Is reported to have 10 lettermen left from that squad whereas Coach Harold Hauk, of parrish, has found it necessary to start all over again, with only one letter man. Hauk has been trying out dif ferent combinations of players since the West Linn game, which his charges won 21 to 0. Perkins. who played fullback part of that game, has been moved to end and Dow has been getting a chance at fullback. .Another of several players who have been coming to the front is Johnson, who is be ing tried at end and In the back field. Damon who started the season at guard, has been used some behind the line but may be needed more urgently in the for ward wall.

Previously Wiles had won the first fall with a surfboard Un 22 minutes and Franz, revealing that he also knew some of tho tricks, came back to even it i'P with a Boston crab In 11:35. Many tans were disappointed when It was announced that Art O'Reilly of Eugene was incapaci tated and would be unable to meet 'Cannibal" Tony Cordona, as they had anticipated a great snow of pyrotechnics. However, "Spike" Ashby of Flint, Mich., proved aa acceptable substitute and one not far behind Cordona in the matter of off-color tactics: This time Cordona was not he only tooth-hold grappler in the ring. Ashby brought out some of the same bag of tricks and went Cordona one better with his "den tist" hold which consisted of pry ing his opponent's Jaws apart. There was the usual amount of slugging and hair pulling as Ash by proceeded to win in straight falls, Uking the first in 13.45 with a self-strangle and the sec ond In 11:25 with a hammerlock. FLUX PL4NT FINAL Difficulties Pointed out By William Einzig in Letter to Board It is doubtful If the state flax plant operated In connection with the Oregon state penitentiary can ever be made profitable. William Einxlg, secretary of the state board of control, Tuesday wrote Governor Meier and other ratm- ; bers of the board, j "This is due," Einzig said, 'to ; the heritage of a tremendous in i ventory of products now unsa:able lert by a previous administration, and to the fact that three y-ars are consumed in the cycle of man ufacture from the time the fla is contracted by the state until t'ne processed fibre and tow are mar keted. "During this period price? hae been known to fluctuate iro-e than 100 per cent. This is a wry unsafe and hazardous position to occupy. It forces the state To guarantee prices to f n r ni e r s whereas the return to thr stat ts unknown, and in reality is a sub sidy." Einifg's letter was baM .,n a recent audit of the flax p'ant which showed a deficit of $19. SOS in operations during the periol June 1. 1931, to May 31, 1932. "Had the selling prices ben maintained for 1931 as compared with an average for several prior years, or had the inventory values set upon May 31. 1931. held, ihcn the operating loss would have been eliminated." Einzig's iuer continued. "To meet foreign competition we have had to consistently lower our prices for flax fibre, and a comparison reveals that we are re ceiving only about 50 per cent of what we formerly got." The audit showed that the state now has on hand approximately 00 tons of upholstering tow. which sold In 1930 for as high as $80 a ton, but for which no mar ket can be found at the present time. This tow r; been offered to furniture dealer on the Pacific coast for as low at $42.50 a ton. The total acreage of Willamette valley flax to be contracted Jy tte penitentiary during the ensuing year will be double that handled by the state this rear. Tha nHeem to growers, however, will be re duced from $7 and $8 below the 1932 quotations. 4 Norbladmil Deliver Address Here, Armistice A. W. Norblad of Astoria, will come to Salem Friday.
