The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Thoreday Morning, December 15, 1932 Jones and Reed Signed for Welter Tide Contest Here PAGE EIGHT r; BELT AT STAKE NEXT TUESDAY Fans Recall two Previous Clashes and Look for More Fireworks For the third time within a six months period. Henry Jones and Robin Reed will grapple In Salem with the world welterweight wrestling championship as the prize, next Tuesday night at the armory. The boxing and wrestling com mission and Matchmaker Harry Plant announced Wednesday night that they had signed up both giap plers and that all of the essential details of the bout had been agre ed to. It was revealed that Jones, this time the defending champion, is to receive $500 guarantee for which he was reported to be hold ing out several days ago. The championship for which these men will be contesting for the third time is exemplified by the diamond-studded belt hung up by the Mdwest Wrestling associa tion, a belt which Reed won in an extended tournament conducted In the middle west states over a year ago. Belt Changed Hands On Decision in July Jones now is the actual and of ficial possessor of the belt, having acquired it from Reed by virtue of a decision won in the armory here last July at the close of thnr second championship match. In each of these bouts each wrestler won a fall, but at the close of the second one Jones was award ed the championship through a decision based upon his showing male in the third round of the bout. That award was made in accord ance with the Police Gazett3 rules under which the bouts were con ducted. The arrangements for next Tuesday night's contest are the same; a two-hour match under the same rule3. Though Jones won the title, neither of those matches last sum mer could be considered in any way decisive, and the question oX supremacy has not been settled. Both of the previous matches were hard fought, spectacular af fairs, particularly the first one in which both or the wrestlers and two referees were knocked out monentarily In high dives out of the ring. Fans are looking for some occurrences equally exciting when these noted matmen clash again next Tuesday night. s, CHKMAWA, Dec. 14. Chem awa basketball teams broke even wi'.h Linfield college quintets in two games here Tuesday night, both contests being featured by breath-taking finishes. The Chemawa All-Stars defeat ed a group of Linfield freshmen 24 to 23 by virtue of a long, clean hot which pushed the home quin tet Into the lead in the last min ute of play. The Indian school's high school entry lost to a team also composed of Linfield freshmen and one sophomore, 4 3 to 38, after hold ing the lead shortly before the close of the game. Ragged guard ing permitted the Tisitors to sink some easy shots which turned the tide of battle. The next game will be with Lin coln high of Portland here Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Saturday afternoon Chemawa will play Washington high of Portland, the B team meetln Parrlsh junior high In a preliminary game at 2:30. MODERN FOOTBALL IT BOSTON, Dec. 14. (AP) Amos Alonxo Stagg, 70, retired football coach at the University of Chicago, is one veteran of the days of the flying wedge who be lieves the modern game "is in ev ery respect a better game than the old." The coach who for 41 years di rected football forces at Chicago was guest tonight at the annual dinner of the New England alum ni of Phillips Exeter academy. Stagg was graduated from the academy and matriculated at Yale where he became a star ath lete. "The modern game requires more intelligence, greater agility of mind and body and is in every respect a better game than the old," the coach said. Stagg said he did not believe the brand of football played on the Pacific coast was better than that of other sections of the coun try and he thought football in the middle west was "Just as good."

Reed and Jones will clash, with this belt emblematic of the world welterweight (145-pound) cham pionship at stake, next Tuesday night. Bearcat-Stater Hoop Clash Near, Keene's Lineup Still In Early Formative Status Practice of the Willamette university basketball squad Wed nesday afternoon saw three quin tets, with some variations, in ac tion and they appeared more or less on a par, emphasizing the formative state in which Coach '"Spec" Keene still finds his team, just two days- before the opening same of the season against Ore gon State at Corvallis Friday night. The uncertainty about even a starting lineup was most marked in the guard department, where players were replaced frequently. McKerrow and Frantz worked for a time with the center and for wards who possibly looked most like a "varsi-y" trio; Hartley later replaced McKerrow, who also looked good at center in an other combination. RIeke and Connors were the centers for the other quintets. Kaiser and Dean formed another pair of guards. With Bill Lfmon at present on crutches, Northmp and Burdett composed one forward pair, Er ickson and Griffith another, Har mon and Speck a third. OREGOM STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 14 One of the most interesting pre-conference games of the basketball season to expected here Friday night when Willamette university plays Ore gon State college. "Spec" Keene, Bearcat mentor, has a habit of. turning out excellent teams which not only are always in the run ning for the Northwest confer- ence title but are able to give the Orangemen plenty of trouble when the two teams meet. The game will start at 7:30. Although the Beavers took a rough game from Monmouth nor mal last weekend, many weak spots were- uncovered and Coach Gill has realized the need for the type of competition which the Willamette five will offer. The only man on the Orange quintet who has cinched a start ing berth is Ed. Lewis, six-foot-six beanpole center. The rangy pivot man lacks the weight necessary for his length and tips the scales at only 175 pounds. In past sea sons the absence of natural pad ding on his legs and body has led to many injuries and loss of his play to the team. Gill is taking every precaution this year to see that Lewis la able to stay In the game and has had several metal braces made to protect weak Joints and bones. At the forward . posts Skeet O'Connell, Clarence James and George Hibbard are waging a tough battle for honors.

These men have yet to play through a full season and are still somewhat lacking in experience. BETHEL TAKES TWO Tl BETHEL, Dec. 14. Bethel high and grade school basketball teams won both games from Dal las here Tuesday night, the grade score being 24 to 8 and the high school winning a snappy contest 31 to 30. In the grade game. Bethel led 9 to 3 atthe half, Rohde leading his team in scoring with seven points. Martins was high scorer for Dallas. The high school game was nip and tuck all the way, with Dallas piling up an early six-point lead and holding a 10-4 yead at quar ter time. At the end of the second quarter, Dallas was trailing 15 to 10. The second half saw both teams playing fast, hard ball, with a last minute basket by Christen son winning the game. Owl Hoopers are After Day Games The Cherry City Owls, a newly organized basketball team to named because the members are mostly employes of the Cheny City Baking company and, work ing at night, will do their playing in the daytime, is seeking game with any teams in Salem or tie surrounding territory which are also able to play afternoon' gamei.

FROM U PER CENT "ALL AMERICANS" el JjlUfctgasr e S.H.S. ra V TIE Alumni Game Next Week to See Many Stars of Past Quintets in Action As the Salem high school bas ketball squad proceeds, slowly and under various handicaps ranging from blisters to "flu," to prepare for the coming season, it is already cognizant of the fact that there is extremely slight hope of a victory in the opening game of the season, against the alumni. This contest, scheduled home coming day, December 23. in ac cordance with tradition, has us ually been won by the alumni but last year's clashes there were two of them went the other way in decisive fashion. ' In the first Salem high was ahead 17 to 11 when one of the baskets in the high school gym broke down and since there were some other homecoming attrac tions yet on the program, the re mainder of the game could not be played. j The second game resulted in a 1 to' 11 victory for the high school. On both of these occas ions the alumni were handicapped by the fact that the Florsheims, with several men on their roster who might otherwise have been helping out their fellow grads, were playing other teams the same evenings. Five Florsheims Are Salem Grads Such a contingency is about the only thing that will save the pres ent generation's scalp a week from Friday night and that might not be sufficient. This year's Florsheim squad has five men on it who are eligible for the alumni team, and they are, of course, in good condition; Bob Drager, Trux Foreman, "Scotty" Marr, Jim Burrell aad John Bone. Fur thermore Drager and Foreman are guards, "Burrell a center, Marr and Bone forwards. This bunch alone probably cculd give Coach Hollis Huntington's men a sound drubbing, especially in view of the high school team's present lack of organization and team play which results from the loss of four reg ulars from last year's team. On the other hand the alumni may send onto the floor those four men from the state runner up team of last year; Sanford, Bone, Burrell and Sachtler, add ing at various times three more from the state runner-up team of two years ago; Kitchen, Foreman and Graber. These men also have all been practicing basketball, and thero are In addition, a number of oth ers from past teams who will be In Just as good condition as the high school boys. Johnny Perrine, who was one of the "flu" sufferers on Hunting ton's squad, returned to the prac tice court Wednesday but Ike Wintermute is still missing; John Kelly ia working out though an Infection prevents him from at tending school. Several other can didates are hobbling around on blisters. Georgia Eleven Has Scrimmage; Bears Look Big BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 14. (AP) Thoroughly at home In their new surroundings, Georgia Tech's football warriors upset precedent to go through scrim mage today in the practice prep arations for the game here Sat urday with California's Bears. Coach Bill Alexander explained the strenuous workout with: "It will do the boys good. They might as well get used to bouncing around on the turf because these Californians look pretty big.'' The California team will out weigh Georgia Tech approximate ly 12 pounds to the man. piocuLip ilim.

CAAJZOA3EI2( LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPIOA3 SIAiCET LEOA3Af2D IT was a lucky day for the grim cauliflower profession when at the age of 19 a former New Orleans newsboy by the name of Tony Canzoneri decided to enter the pro fistic ranks under the able management of Sammy Goldman. Because of his brilliant record of never participating in a really dull bout, Tony is the one sure-fire box affice attraction left among the smaller men today. Canzoneri's ring prestige is no manufactured product, built up by ballyhoo and publicity. Tony can really fight, and he measures up pretty well to the standards set by the fistic greats of the past which is more than can be said of any of the other present-day title-helders. Some of the boys were even com paring Canzoneri to the great Benny Leonard, after Tony smeared Billy Petrolic all over the place to win with ridiculous ease in his most recent title defense. How would Tony have gone with Leonard in his prime? Your guess is as good as mine in a case like this, but in my opinion Leonard would have been too smart for the sturdy Mr. Canzoneri. S 'w O King rnnues SjtxHatt. uic, Um Brium n jSa rirnj Washington Solons Regain Goose Goslin, And Stewart By ALAN GOULD NEW YORK, Dec. 14. ( AP) The Washington and St. Louis clubs of the American league stole the spotlight of the baseball con vention today with a spectacular six play deal. Tossing in a bundle of cash to bind the bargain, Washington re gained the services of the slugging Goose Goslin, outfielder, along with Walter Stewart, ace south paw pitcher and Fred Schulte, an other outfielder star, In exchange for Lloyd Brown, sturdy left band ed hurler, and Sam West and Carl Reynolds, outfielders. The Immediate result of the trad was to boost the 1931 pen nant stock of the Senators. Detroit, which bid nnseccessful- Iy for Stewart, Immediately turn ed to Washington, offering Earl Whitehall, another great south paw, for Fred Marberry, veteran right bander, and other considera tions. This was still "on the fire" tonight. Meanwhile, three National league clubs, the Boston Braves, New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds, announced deals for minor league talent. The Braves, having rejected bids from the Giants for a star pitcher in exchange for Frank Ho gan, catcher, disclosed the par chase of two star young lnflelders of the Mission club of the Pacific Coast league for the startling sum of $60,000 In cash and Bill Wal ters, a third sacker. These high- priced acquisitions are Albert Wright, second baseman, and Dick Gyselman, third sacker, both around SO years old and touted as coming sensations. Cincinnati, finding It difficult to make headway in major league circles, purchased Clarence Blair, inflelder, from Los Angeles, and Outfielder Irving Plummer from the WIlkea-Barre club, of the New York-Pennsylvania league. All the Giants had to announce, after a busy day, was that they had obtained a shortstop, John "Blondie" Ryan, from Buffalo, of the International league. In ex change for cash and Eddie Mar shall, utility Inflelder. The Giants and their young manager, Bill Terry, so far bare found It extremely difficult to get Best of Present Champs -By HARDIN BURNLEY- You know, that is Tony's one de ficiency. He has everything else. He can punch, and he can box. He is game to the core, and he has an indomitable will to win. Bat he is not what the boys in the cauliflower racket call a "smart" fighter. He doesn't use the old noodle when he's in there with a tough opponent. I remember several years ago after Canzoneri had put up several thrilling battles with Bud Taylor, somebody asked the veteran Terre naute blond what he thought of Tony as a fighter. "He's a great kid and he knows most of the answers, but he doesn't use the old bean. 'He's too game for his own good," said Taylor. "When I hurt him with punches, he wouldn't hold or stall until his hen cleared. He'd just keep right on trying to slug it out with me. He takes too much punishment for a guy who can box as well as he can." Taylor was right. Today Tony is more experienced, and seldom loses his head as he used to when stung by a punch, but he still cannot be called a smart fighter. Even in his fight with Petrolic he showed poor ring generalship in throwing too Get Schulte in Same Deal Just what they want in attempting a complete shake-up of the club. In parting with players like Fred dy Lindstrom, Bill Walker, Jim Mooney, Bob O'Farrell and Chick Fullis, the Giants have obtained Ray Starr and Gus Mancuso, from the Cardinals, George Davis, from the Phillies, Pitcher uienn tspen per form the Pirates. Pitcher Bill Shores, from Portland, Ore., and Shortstop Ryan, from Buffalo. NEW CRIMSON - -- j Joan H. Dean, of Cohasset, Mass. (left).

HOW DOES TGOy COMPAQ WITH LEOA0A(eX5 ; IO His many sweeping hooks at the weav ing Billy's head an elusive target instead of restricting his fire to straight punches and low-trajectory hooks, which are much more effec tive against a crouching fighter. But, after all, you can't have everything. Tony may not be as great as Leonard or Gans, but he's a mighty good fighter, and there's nobody around just now who can take his title away from him. At the Petrolle-Canzoneri scrap I was sitting next to Kid Chocolate, who knows from experience what it is to be in there with Tony heaving those punches at you. Every time Tony would let go a good punch at Petrolle, the Keed would yell "Oh-h-h!" and grimace as if he harl taken the waiiop himself. Towards the end of the fight Chocolate turned to me and re marked in his broken English. "Tony Just playing with him." Chocolate thought that Canzoneri could have knocked Petrolle out at any time in the last five rounds, and other smart fight men that I have spoken to agreed with the Keed in this opinion.

COMMENTS CURTIS Yes sir, poor old Spec Keen" Is due for the bounce. Thos bloodthirsty alumni are on his" trail; they've ben deniauding his scalp ever since his Bearcat h lost to both Oregon State and Washington State last fall. wern't going to say an)thiii abont it, but now that the Wal la Walla papors have spilled it, there'9 no use trying to kerp it dark any longer. O And whose's going to be his successor? Well, we know that too. Did you see the movie "The Spirit of Notre Dame?" Remember the fellow who Dlave.1 KhhIa Rockne's role J. Farrel McDon ald? That's the man! He wan here In Salem Just the other day and although so far as we know he got no nearer to the Willam ette campus than the Senator Food shop, It's a cinch he was nego tiating for Spec's Job. o Fans, it's the beginning of a new era in sports at good old Willamette U., and we're all thrilled at the prospect. Just im agine having a coach who looks more like Knute Rockne than old Rock did himself! Think of the publicity; the intcrsection al games ; the huge concrete sta dium that will rise on the Wil lamette campus! O Sweetland field won't be big enough, even with three - tier stands on all sides of the gridiron; mey re going to do away with Eaton hall altogether, which will be all right because there. will be no professors and no classes, therefore no need for classrooms. Waller hall will have to be kept ror sentiment s sake; they're zo- ing to install an electric motor for the victory bell, because the stu dents will never be able to keep it ringing constantly, which will be necessary under the new regime. O Imagine the pep talks Coach McDonald will be able to give his team between halves: it would be a shame to limit his audience on those occasions to a mere double handful of sweaty football play ers, so they're going to put a mi crophone in the dressing room and connect him up with a coast-to-coast broadcast. Speaking seriously now, we don't deny that Spec Keene may go away from here some day; the time may even come when he will have a really disastrous season and some alumni may go gunning for him, but yon can write it In your hat that it will have to be a lot poorer season than the one Just ended, which was practically a perfect season except that Pa cific scored a touchdown on a fluke pass. I 1 Tbe fact la that Willamette alumni are not the blood and thunder tribe that trickle out of some schools; as a role they don't go tn for heavy betting on the old alma mater's pride and joy; they're satisfied If the foot ball team Is a credit to the in stitution. Almost a perfect set of old grads, evea If we do say so with hopes of being one of them Oftrself someday. Some sports writer np at Walla Walla is Just trying to translate this friendly little Northwest con ference In terms of the high pow er circuits, where coaches must bs tarred and feathered If they fail to produce champions every year. He Included Eldon Jenne over at Pacific In the list of coaches ready for the skids; we're sure every body at Pacific Is thoroughly sat isfied with Jenne's results; he may leave just as Keene may leave, sooner or later, but It will be something other than losing a couple of ball games that causes them to pack np. Yet that fellow at WalU Walla said Borleske, who lost two game this year for the first time in the history of the conference "is welcome to stay here as Ions; as he desiree." Maybe, with respect to Keene and Jenne, the wish was father to the thought. By the way, J. Farrell McDon ald was in town. Some of the boys here recognized him and he re galed them with tales of hia own football playing days at Yale. And he did mention Willamette; told his listeners to past on to the I Bearcats a greeting from -Rock." A 1v: ft:
