The series will wind up on the eve of Armlstlco day. The first bout of the evening also features one "dark horse" In the person of Floyd Wolfgang, and a comparative stranger. "Spike" Ashby, who showed the stuff he was made of when he si lenced the noise of Tony "Canni bal" Cordona here last -Tuesday. Ashby went into the ring unher alded, substituting for Art O'Reil ly of Eugene who had been taken 111. and he tossed Cordona in straight falls after proving that the Italian was not after all the roughest grappler in the business. 5x- I Astoria and Red and Black Both out for.

Though aome of . .the state champion hoopers have moved on into collegiate ranks and are al ready starring on the gridiron there with prospects of still more spectacular careers as college basketball stars, at . least . two, and they are the ones who fig ured .. most prominently In up setting Salem's apple cart, will be here, big as , life, with the gridiron squad j .Maekey, guard, and Canessa, "pinch hitting" forward.

Salem didn't win on that occa sion, out it neia Astoria to a scoreless tie, and the powers that WITH his squad at full strength for the first time since the Oregon State game. Coach "Spec Keene of Willam ette university Monday afternoon started the task of "pointing" for that all-important College of Pu- get Sound game, undoubtedly the toughest ef the season and the one which may settle the North west conference championship will settle it for certain if Puget Sound wins. The contest will take plaee under the lights on Sweet land field Saturday night at 8;00 o'clock. There Is one partial but impor tant exception to that statement that the squad is at full strength. Walt Erickson, Willamette's prin cipal ground gainer for three sea sons, turned out Monday with his right ankle firmly taped, partici pated in the afternoon's practice and reported that It "felt tine," but it remains to be seen whether It will carry him through the week's grind and through that Saturday game which is sure to be a, bruising affair. Dave D rarer u tun missing out there are indications that he will decide which team shall play against a Portland eleven Thanksgiving day, ruled out all teams which had been tied. As toria on its home field was ja little stronger than Salem a year ago, coming nearest to scoring, and against the green team which Coach Hollla Huntington is pre senting this year, the Fishermen will be favorites. 'Honest John" Warren coaches the Astoria football team in ad dition to handling the outstand inr hoop squads that school turns out. It is reported that he employs the same strenuous tactics in conditioning his gridders that he uses with his hoop squads, these include many laps running around the track daily. not be able to play at all this sea son, so it s possible to wipe his name off the books and say that the squad is all right side up for this game and will be at full strength unless scrimmage work this week takes Its toll. Pointing Started Late; Attitude Good As f or. the ..'pointing" process. it is being started late for the rea son that Albany college presented more of a potential threat than it proved to be la actuality. Never theless the Bearcats got a lot of fun out ef Sliding the Pirates around in the mud, and are in the proper mental condition. There will be no over-confidence this week at Keene's men know the task of stopping the undefeated Loggers is solely up to them. . Good physical condition and good mental condition do not however prevent the Bearcats from being "under dogs" for Sat urday night's .contest. Puget Sound- Is not only undefeated in the conference, it has not lost to anybody this season. victories in rapid succession over Pacific, Whitman and Col lege of Idaho prove that the early season forecast that the Loggers would have their best team in his tory, was no idle rumor.

In golf, yoa take the pro per stance, lay the clnbhead be hind the baU, keep your left arm straight, swing back and xorward, and yon can't miss nnleae yon move yovr body. Plaee-ki eking is simpler. All you do Is get the proper stance, keep ybur eye on the ball and kick through It.

The rest youll have7 to "T seems to be pretty certain that Herr Max Schmeung will get the nrst crack at heavyweight champion Jack Sharkey when tne Big Business Man from Boston de cides to defend his title, the prob able date being next June. Ia spite ef the fact that the last Sharkey Schmeling "battle was the most uninteresting big fight in .years, there is a real demand for a return bout. This is because a lot ef peo ple who heard the fight ever the radio agreed with Joe Jacobs that Schmeling had been robbed, thus creating a big controversy ever tbe merits of the decision. - '-- -. f Many people think that Schme ling has earned a return bout with Sharkey-because (1) he stopped Mickey Walker in 8 rounds last Sep tember, and (2) the decision which cost him the title waa highly ques- , tionable. ' .. - . However,-there are many objec tions that could be advanced against Schmelinga right to another title bout. The main objection is that he and Sharkey would be likely to put on another "agony" boot, and that might kill interest in the heavy weight division for quite a while. Then again, I would like to see Schmeling fight a more formidable opponent than the battle-scarred, undersized' .Walker before he is gtven first crack at the title. What about Max Baerf Beer's virtual knockout of Ernie Sehaaf and his Kayo ef "Tuffy" Griffiths were both more impressive - vic tories than -Schmeling'e win ever Walker. The former butcher boy from Livermore, CaL, is potentially a better fighter thaa Germany's Max, ia the opinion of veteran fight observers; but ia the past Beer playboy tactics and his lackadaisi cal attitude in the ring made it ap pear that he would never fulfil his early promise. -?-..,"- Then, a little more than a year ago, Baer got married. That started the change. .Husband Baer cut out the playboy stuff, and started to put his nose to the grindstone. He ac tually trained for his fights. Two gruelling twenty-round bouts with Paulino and Leviasky added vastly to Beer's atere of tnHnM. ut he ran up a string ef victories, ia- eludinsr Johnnv Slake amon hia victims. ... He stm seemed to lack farocitv in the ring, however, until the bout with Sehaaf a couple of months ago. la the last few rounds ef that scrap, the ex-playboy battered away at the durable Sehaaf with a truly Denrp-sey-like fury. Baer proved that bis' newly-found fighting spirit waa not merely a flash in the pan by anni- hilating the game Tuffy" Griffiths ia nis next scrap, finishing Griffiths in the seventh round with a savage flurry of wallops. Baer seems to have really found himself at last, and from now en- he will be very hard to beat unless his perennial managerial troubles upset the temperamental Cahfor aiaa. - Schmeling and Baer should put up a sensational scrap If they ever meet, since both the American Max and Germany's Max are Kayo punchers who pack potent sleep pro ducers, while at the same time both have proved themselves durable and tough. . -.. . v - - :. s ' Give Bazaar.
