Conqueror of Mitchell has
His Points; Newberg
Vet Comes Back
Kobin Keed, always popular
here as a wrestler, will meet a
llttla different type of competi
tion In his match here tonight
with Frankle Lowe of Grand
Junction from that which he has
been in the habit of en counter
ing at the armory, and the fans
are expected to turn out to see
what Robin will be able to do
about It.
Not rated so high up In the
scale in his own classification as
a middleweight as Reed is in the
wolter class, Lowe nevertheless
will have a weight advantage
which may make quite a differ
ence. And then again, though he
came here a total stranger to
fill a sudden vacancy, Lowe
showed a week ago that he has
plenty of ability.
Jack Mitchell was getting to
the point where he enjoyed quite
a reputation here, and it was
considerable of a shock to see
him fall before Lowe's attack,
oven though a moment of care
lessness seemed to have some
thing to do with it. Mitchell had
a neat too hold on Lowe when
his own shoulders happened to
cet in contact with the mat for
the deciding tall.
Anybody Who Itrats
Mitchell Must be (iood
Nevertheless, fans who saw 1
Mitchell toy with Henry Jones
on a previous occasion, concede
that Ijowe had to have "some
thing" to boat Mitchell even in
such a windup; while Lowe's
tendency to rough it up is also
expected to contribute to an un
pleasant evening for Mr. Reed,
who likes bis contests scientific
and "straight" and ha3 no great
love for the slam-bang business.
The return of Harry Kuehne,
the griuiacirg farmer from New
berg, also in fraught with inter
est. He meets "Curly" Woods of
Centralis, whose prowess is such
a3 to provide a real test as to I
whether Kuehne's recent great
showing against Jonea at Mc-j
Minnville. was really his present
speed or Just an isolated flash in
the pan.
Kuehne In colorful, something

being a really tough grappler

Field Goals; Squads Work
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2S (AP) With Christmas cele

tice programs, eastern and Eastern grid stars buckled down
to heavy work today in preparation for the annual charity

toned method of goals from the
field became increasingly evident
as the squads swung Into the fi
nal week of preparation.
At their Stanford university
training quarters, the easterners
concentrated on passes with Harry
Newman, Michigan quarterback,
and Pug Rentner, Northwestern
halfback, rifling the ball to all
corners of the field. Coaches Andy
Kerr and Dick Hanley said New
man was impressive in passing
scrimmage. Bob Rowe, Colgate
fullback, also came in for fresh
praise.
The two line units will see Paul
Moss, Purdue, and Dick Fencl,
Northwestern, as ends on one
team and Frank Meadow. Brown,
and Jose Martinet-Zorrilla, Cor
nell, as flankmen on the other.
Marsh Well3. Minnesota, and Joe
Kurth. Notre Dame, will team up
as tackles with Johnnlo Wilbur.
Yale, and Bob Gonya, Northwest
ern, in the same positions on the
other eleven. Yabo Yablonski,
Pennsylvania, and Jack Manders,
Minnesota, will pair off as guards
as will Bob Smith, and Joe Hill,
both of Colgate. John Oehler, Pur
due, will handle center duties on
team A and Tom Gilbane, Brown,
on team B.
Coaches Orin Hollingbery and
Dana Bible sent their western
charges through a brisk session at
University of California's school
at Berkeley. Four of the boys
continued to go to kicking school
with Hank Shaldach, California
halfback, specialising in dropkick-
inc. and Bill Morgan, Oregon
tackle, Ernie Caddel. Stanford
halfback, and George- Sander,
Washington State halfback, trying
boots from placement between the

Cross - Word Puzzle
JOLIET, 111., Dee. 26 (AP)
Member of the Stateville peniten
tiary gridiron team, out to satis
fy some suppressed desires, eased
the spirit of wanderlust but slight
ly today In a gridiron battle with
Cabery, 111., semi-pro eleven.
The game ended in a scoreless
tie, nature taking most of the Tic-
tory. The battle began in the fore
noon on the gridiron behind the
prison -walls on a field that re
sembled a skating pond, until the
sun got In Its work when It be
came a quagmire.
The Stateville gridders carried
the game to their opponents in the
first half, but thereafter, all was
Cabery. Quarterback Lynch of
Stateville starred for the home
team, with shifty open field dash
es and a running style that began
to resemble the Australian crawl
a3 flying boots churned the field
into sopping mud.
Marty Durkin. Chicagoan with
the reputation of a killer, failed to
perform as his team mates and the
rooting section hoped he would.
He lasted just three minutes as a
guard, when Quaterback-Coach
Lynch sent him to the sidelines.
The game was remarkably
clean; there were only two penal
ties for unnecessary roughness,
one levied against each team.
Doyle, lineman for Stateville, was
carried off the field after a pile
up. Qn the next play, the convicts
drew a penalty, then camaraderie
ruled as players wiped opponent's
faces and helped pull them from
the mud.

opened their final week of pre
paration here today with inten
sive morning and afternoon
drills.
Realization of the nearness ot
the game spurred coaches aad
players and the day was one of
hard Work. It was one of tour
days which will see Coach Jook
Sutherland pushing his charges
at top speed before tapering oft
at the end of the week.
Activities started this morning
with a brisk signal drill en the
desert near the Panther hotel
after a brief respite for observ
ance of Christmas and closed this
afternoon with a workout on de
fense against Trojan plays.
In excellent spirit following
the holiday the players displayed
much pep and ginger during the
morning. Garbed in gold knick
ers and sweat shirts they went
through practice under Suther

Racks Adapted to
Warner Type Plays
A repertoire of Warner for
mations, featuring reverses and
a number of new plays to be
Bprung on the Trojans were in
evidence with Warren Heller and

The low punts of Hogan,
quarterback, which rolled con

NEW YORK. Dec. 2C ( AP) (
In confirmation ot a fact which i
every baseball fan knew three
months ago, Frank J. O'Doul,
Brooklyn's star left-handed (lug
ger, today was officially pronoun
ced batting champion of the Na
tional League for the 1932 season
but a closer scrutiny of the list
shows Chuck Klein, of the Phil
lies walking off with the all-round
laurels.
Leader in three hitting depart
ments, and champion base thief of
the circuit, Klein also was third
In batting, tied for home run hon
ors, second -in hitting doubles,
third in triples and a smart field
ing player.
Chuck scored 152 runs, only
six below his own league record.
DeNeffes to
Visit Salem
For 2 Games
Three hard games this week
will be faced by the Willamette
university basketball squad which
will resume practice today. The
first ot these contests comes Wed
nesday night at 8 o'clock, against
the Southern Oregon Normal
school quintet which has defeated
the University of Oregon cagemen.
Friday and Saturday nights the
Bearcats will meet the Eugene De
Neffe's hoop aggregation which
also has won twice from the Web-
feet. This Independent team de
feated Willamette twice about this
time last year, and apparently is
stronger this year.
Three of the famous Eberhart
brothers, Jean. Willard and How
ard, are in the group along with
Windsor Calkins, U. ot O. captain
last year; Max Rubenatein and
Charles Wirth. noted Eugene ca
saba tossers; "Red" Rogers, U. of

for these games.

Terry, Giants' manager by ana
blow, and hi alts went tor 42
bases. He hit SO doubles and IS
triples and stale 2 bases, two
more than Frank Frlsch and
Oeorge Watkins ot the St. Louis
Cardinals.
In contrast to the HI I cam
paign when Chick Hater. Terrv
and Jim Bottomley finished in a
virtual tie for the leadership with
averages of .348. separated only
by tractions, O'Doul left no doubt
about his 1932 superiority. His
mark of 148 games was .861. 29
above last year s winning percent
age and is ahead ot the nearest
regular, Terry. .
The list of leaders gave an out
standing example- of the consist
ency of the star hitters as the
first fonr for 193 2 all were among
the first five for 1931 with only
Bottomley dropping back and all
the first ten were listed among
the league's regular .300 hitters.
Klein was only two points be
hind Terry at .34 8 followed by
Hafey, playing with Cincinnati, at
.344, Paul Waner. Pittsburgh.
Don Hurst, Philadelphia,
Ernie Orsatti, St. Louis,
Virgil Davis. Philadelphia,
Lloyd Waner. Pittsburch.
.333; and Harold "Pie" Travnor,
Pittsburgh, .329.
Paul Waner walloped 62 dou
bles, surpassing by three the Na
tional League mark Klein estab
lished in 1930. but five short of
the major league record of 67 set
by Earl Webb of the Red Sox In
1931.
Johnny Frederick of Brooklyn,
doubled the old record for hitting
home runs as a pinch hitter when
he came through with the perfect
blow six times during the season.
Of the other miscellaneous hit
ting records, Floyd (Babe) Her
man, then of Cincinnati, walloped
19 triples for first place. O'Doul
hit 1S8 singles for top ranking in
that department.

It's a big problem, this one of
