According to Allen's story, he

Temple's 65-Yard Return of
Punt Decides Contest;
Final Score 12-6
Webfeet Have More Power,
Staters get Breaks in
- Corvallis Classic .
By CLAYTON V. BERNHARD
BELL FIELD, Corvallis, Ore.,
Not. 6 (AP) A beautiful 45
yard run on a punt return by
Mark Temple, Oregon left' half,
in the middle of the final period
pulled a 12 to victory for the
Webfoots out of what appeared to
be another tie game fn the an
nual state championship gridiron
battle at Oregon State college here
today.
Temple received tho ball from
Keith Davis' toe on his own 35-
yard line near the east side line
He pulled three would-be tack-
lers toward the side stripe, then
reversed the field, slipped off an
other tackier and cut back again
toward the side. He raced down
the slippery field Just behind two
teammates one of whom took out
Keith Davis, the only remaining
Beaver player between him and
the goal line. He crossed the vic
tory Una standing up. Giesecke's
kick for point was wild.
Oregon State took the Jump
when Moe scored a touchdown in
the second quarter. Early In the
third period Oregon made Its first
touchdown when Mlkulak pushed
over the line for the tally.
Since neither try for extra
points was good the score stood a
to 4 tie until Temple made his
starring play. Both of the early
touchdowns resulted from fum
bles.
Accurate Sick and
Fumble Aid Staters
Before an estimated crowd of
12,900 fans who braved a heavy
rain storm to witness this 37th
annual state classic, the teams
fought up and down the heavy
field, otttimes bringing the spec
tators to their feet.
On Moe's touchdown for Ore
gon state, "Curley" Miller, left
tackle, took Temple's fumble on
the Oregon one-foot line after Da
vis had punted out of bounds on
the three-yard line.
On Oregon's first score, Ray
Morse, Oregon left end recovered
Johnny Blancone's fumble on the
O. 8. C. 13-yard line. A straight
march from there made It possi
ble for Mike Mlkulak, Oregon
fullback, to tally.
Statistics showed Oregon had
distinct edge on ground gaining,
mostly through line smashes by
Mlkulak and off-tackle runs
Temple.

The Webfoots made ten first

were nearly even. Temple getting

appeals, charges, promises: and
warnings, the word-weary elec
torate tomorrow enjoys a day of
political truce to weigh it all In
deciding whether Hoover! and
Curtis or Roosevelt and Garner
offer the best leadership far the
nation. 1
By comparison with past tem
pestuous weeks, quiet will settle
and reflection replace the! cam
paign clamor. The eitizenry must
give Itself over to the responsibil
ity exercised every four! years
since the republic was founded.

surpassing any seen since the
start of elections In 1789 has
been Indicated by the unprece
dented registration of more than
47,090,000. On many sides are
heard expressions of gladness
that It soon will be put behind.
Be Sure to Vote';

Monday will see the end of
the campaign, with both princi
pals and several prominent lieu
tenants addressing last-hour ex
hortations to the nation. If eas
tern is followed, these talks will
largely be restricted to "Be sure
to vote' but this year judging
from what has happened or late
the words "our way" may be
tacked on emphatically.
Whatever is said, assertions of
confidence doubtless will be as
plentiful as tonight. Democrats
are standing by predictions the
record electoral count of 444 won
by Mr. Hoover In 1928 will be
shattered by their ticket. Republi
cans wave that aside. Insisting
that the history-making stumping
trips by the president have gen
erated an Irresistible trend to
him.
It takes 264 of the 531 elector
al votes to come out on top. The
republican chairman, Everett
Sanders, estimated tonight that
"President Hoover will be reelect
ed by a minimum of 838 electoral
votes."
Simultaneously, leaders of the
democratic senatorial and con
gressional campaigns predicted
majorities of ten or more in the
senate and 78 to 100 In the house
for their party.

"Sober Thinking" Wins out
Over Generalities and
Protest Tendency
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
The nation pauses today, at the
climax of a political campaign as
vast, as stirring and as momen
tous as the now historic contest
In 1884 the McKinley-Bryan fight
in '98" and the Wilson-Hughes
struggle of 1918.
You caught the tenseness of the
battle If you were about Salem
yesterday. Citizens,' undeterred by
bad weather, gathered in little
knots In business houses about
town to engage In earnest discus
sion of the impending decision of
45,000,000 American voters.
You perceived the prevailing
concern if you noticed the hun
dreds of homes in this city where
every word of last-minute radio
addresses was being absorbed by
thinking citizens who realized this
was no ordinary campaign and felt
certain that their rote, whichever
way It went, would be potent in
determining the direction of the
nation's future. -
Democrats Fanning
September Hopes
While democratic leadership ev
erywhere was trying to keep alive
the false hopes of September
which pointed to a sweeping vic
tory, substantial members of that
party knew the tide of public opin
ion was running fast away from
them and only hoped that there
were still enough disgruntled peo
ple In the nation to give Mr.
Roosevelt a majority of the elec
toral votes.
Two months ago one of the most
ardent, one of the most Intelligent
and one of the most earnest demo
crats in the state said the follow
ing t this writer: "This campaign
is going to be very close. I person- .
ally think Mr. Hoover will win.
The public always Bettles down."
A recent conversation with this
self-same party leader revealed
that the September opinion had
been amplified by the .vagaries of
Mr. Roosevelt's campaign and the
terseness, the force and the irre
futable argument of Mr. Hoover's
dramatic and convincing bid for
support. 'Ifs a republican victory;
mark my words." was the com
ment. Republican Swing
Traced to Causes
Theire' are three general rea
sons j which account for the
amazing swing to republicanism
in the last four weeks:
1. The vigor and logic and
courage Mr. Hoover has demon
strated as he punched home the
facts about tho true condition of
the country. The president his
emerged from the position of. a
tongue-tied. Quaker recluse to a
full-fledged, first-class, fighting
I campaigner. nu iieaaersmp on
tbe stump as in th White House
has brought minions or aoutmui
voters to his banner.
2. The boiled-down, slmmered-
out campaign proposals of Mr
Roosevelt have left few thought
ful people with any hope that
the democratic candidate's "new
dear" means more than placing
Tammany hall, McAdoo, Garner,
Hearst, Long et al In power. The
"new deal is strangely , devoid .
of soundness, of definlteness, of
truth ' and hiving heard Mr.
Roosevelt spiel his show ' for
