Big Tackles, one end and
Famous Buchanan are
. 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. '

a game being won after the fi

This week's busy schedule of

team on the Leslie gridiron. The
Dallas squad Is selected from the
freshman and sophomore classes

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

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

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.
