LIEUTENANT GARRISON DAVIDSON, successor to Major Ralph Sasse as coach of the West Point football eleven, has no easy task on his hands to build a successful 1933 Army outfit. All the new Army mentor has to do is to make a 'varsity line out of last year's second stringers, provide a backfield, develop some reserves from the rather weak Plebe team of 1932 and prepare for such oppo nents as Navy, Yale, Harvard and Notre Dame! Davidson is a capable coach, no doubt, but he surely faces a discour aging prospect in his first year as a lig time gridiron leader. Army's hopes rest largely on the when a few months old by wagon train in 1849. His family went tb Sacramento, Calif., for the win ter of 1849-50, coming to Oregon in 1850 by boat to Portland, by scow to Oregon City, ox team to Jefferson. He has made his home on How ell Prairie and here since 1862 except with son in Glendale, min ing. Mr. Looney was in the gold rush to Alaska in 1900. Dudley Bates Dies As Result of Brief Pneumonia Illness SHELBTJRN. Oct. 24. Dudley Bates, 61, died at the Stayton hospital October 18 following a four days illness of pneumonia.

ARWs COACH- AVIDSOM ISMt Kiss Fqgup &jrncMC lac. Graf Bras shoulders of lithe, speedy Jack Buckler, successor to Oliphant, Cagle, Stecker, Vidal, et aL, as the cadets' chief scoring threat. Weighing only 165 pounds, Buck ler is a real triple threat. He is Army's best punter, sends bullet like passes over center and can run like Diazes with the pigskin. The Waco Wildcat was stopped in only one game last year that with Notre Dame and he has gotten off to a good start this season, figuring in most of Army's scoring' in the early games. The Point has a tradition of rreat ball carriers, and Buckler looks like the man to carry on for those ghosts of a glorious gridiron past. 1 Football fans of Oregon are all hopped op, and rightly so, over the great showing made by the Oregon State Beavers in Portland last Saturday when they broke the 25-game winning streak of the Trojans with a scoreless tie. Yet some of them, we fear, have missed the point. It's not the case of an Oregon State team suddenly blossoming out and becoming just as good as the national champions. Instead, it is an instance in which a team which from week to week Is a couple of notches, anyway, below the champions, set forth one Sat urday and by superhuman effort stopped the "invincible ' force." Therein lies the answer. We con sider it more to Oregon State's credit than -the other theory, which some enthusiastic fans seem to hold. j On the strength of that great showing, for instance, some of the boys are actually being talked into giving odds on Ore- , gon State against Washington State In this week's battle at Corvallis. It's none of our affair what the boys do with their money It's the principle of the . thing we are Interested In. And maybe Oregon 'State will win, bat it isn't entitled to be a fa vorite over Washington State. Here's what we mean. Give any team the ball in its own territory against a team anywhere In its class, and four times out of five, at least, the other team will be able to hold for downs somewhere in the 50 yards or more from there to the goal line. The odds are that much against a sustained scoring drive. And so when the "under dog" team isnt outclassed entirely, all It has to do Is to make that no sustained drive reaches the goal line and what is hard-ei- guard against giving the opposition any breaks that will make a sustained drive unnec essary; or. if the stronger team does get break, dig in and atop a short drive. Those are the things that Ore gon State did last Saturday. It's a little like pitching; the pitcher always has approximately 2 to 1 odds oa his side that the batsman won't "get a safe hit; occasionally a pitcher makes those odds work for nine Innings and goes down in the hall of fame as so-hit, no ma hurler. . For .a comparable 'COJW COMMENTS 71 RECEArrV" flsffet right In Capt. Harvey Jablonsky, Army has an experienced and inspiring field leader and a brilliant guard. Jablonsky has been playing foot ball for a long time now, having captained a western college eleven be fore coming to the Point However, the rest of Davidson's line seems rather light. Bucknam, Gooch and Hillman are all rather small for linemen, although the 195-pound Hutchinson at tackle and the 6-foot 4-inch Kopcsak at end will help somewhat in the matter of size. This week-end the Army gridmen tackle another team performing under a new coach Tale, nlavine their first year under Reggie Root. OwrfcM. 1111. Kl&i rtur SjviimU. Ia. achievement we honor Oregon State's Beavers this week. But in football, there is a certain margin of strength be tween teams, within which it is highly probable that the strong er team won't score, if the weaker team concentrates on playing safe and doesn't gamble for a score on its- own hook. There Is a custom of rating teams as so many touchdowns stronger or weaker than their opponents, and it's as silly as giving points was proven to be Saturday. Bat according to that eastern, we would say Troy was at least two touchdowns better than Oregon State, even on a northern gridiron. Pneumonia Causes Some Concern For Chief Arthur Dahl SILVERTON, Oct. 24. Consid erable concern was felt for Ar thur Dahl, chief of police, over the weekend when it was learned pneumonia had set in. Reports from the hospital were, that he was resting quite well Sunday night. Mr. Dahl was in an auto mobile accident Thursday night in which a few of his ribs were cracked and his right shoulder dislocated. He was taken to the local hospital where pneumonia developed from the injury. EH Captain Since Bob Lassiter was a youngster, his ambition has been to lead a Yale football team to victory over Har vard. He ia having his opportunity this season - for the 21-year-old Charlotte, N. youth is captain of the Eli squad. He is a back, stands : 6 feet 11. and weichs 170. U I li i 1 J- N iC2 E QUIDS INS FOUL ROUTE Does More Fouling Himself; FrantzTakeVWildOne; Sugai Looks Good - "Bad Boy" Billy Edwards de voted almost every moment of the bout to. either committing or attempting one type , of foul or another but he won on a foul from Bob Kruse, who wrestled in a relatively clean manner through out most of their bout at the armory Tuesday night. It Just goes to prove that there are so many fouls in professional wresr tllng that they have to be graded and classified; some disqualify while others simply rate a punch in the nose by the refejee. v The foul .whereby Referee Ted Thye a. most lenient official, in-cldentally-Tflnally gave the vic tory to Edwards, consisted of kicking Edwards off the plat form; or perhaps It was attacking the referee himself, . Ted didn't say. Edwards apent ajl his time in the ring poking fingers into Kruse eyes, pulling -hair or at tempting strangle holds, Kruse's chief contribution to the illegal aspects of the match, consisted in wrapping a towel around Edwards neck and tightening down on it. Edwards won the first fall with a chiropractic headlock and Kruse took the second with a series of sonnenbergs. Technical knockouts are unusu al In the wrestling game, but that was the verdict by which "Sailor" Frants deefated "Bunny" Martin. In the third round Martin was tossing the seaman high, wide and handsome with a series of sonnenbergs when he finally missed his target and went out onto the floor on his head. He crawled-back within the time limit but was in no condition to wres tle. Frantz also won the villainy championship in a contest be tween two accomplished villains. Both were booed loudly when in troduced, but Frants took all the honors from then on. Martin won the first fall with a ring post, climbing upon that accessory for a high dive which carried Frants to earth. Frants won the second with a body slam. Don Sugai in his second pro fessional start exhibited remark abl3 improvement as he defeated "Chub" Patchin, another recent Salem convert to the pro ranks, in straight falls. Sugai still ap peared a trifle slow at times but he clamped on a neat whip wrist lock to win the first fall and there was poison in the sonnenberg with which he dropped Patchin for the second one. Iron Men of O.S.C.Team Gain Respite CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 24. Given little chance to "show their stuff" in the last two Ore gon State games, the Beaver foot ball reserves took out their pent up energy in a hard scrimmage with the freshman team here to night, as the staters launched their practice in earnest for next Saturday's coast conferente game here with Washington State. In the last two starts the Beaver first eleven has battled through with only one substitu tion. That was against San Fran cisco university a week ago Sat urday at San Francisco. In. the coast conference clash with the University of Southern California in Portland last Saturday the first eleven played ' the full game to a scoreless tie without a substi tution, Johnny Biancone flashed through his plays today to indi cate he is "ready to go" at half or quarter if the "regulars" break a fast forming habit and call for reinforcements. The first string men were given a light workout today, but Coach Lon Stiver warned jthem heavy scrimmage is on theiprogram to morrow. Despite their efforts In the last two games, every man on the first string is in excellent con dition, Stiner said. Many Pupils Have Hand in Editing School Newspaper HUBBARD.

Independence B Eleven to Play Parrish Today; Hauk Snuffles Line, Backfield Somewhat shifted about since its first contest, the scrappy though green and light Parrish junior high football team will en gage its second out-of-town foe this afternoon at 3:30 on Olinger BE ifi top coin PULLMAN, Wash., Oct 24. (AP) -uninjured in their clash with California last Saturday, buckled down to heavy work to- Washington State's Cougars buckled down to heavy work today for their game Saturday with Ore gon State college at Corvallis. With only an occasional bruised muscle and charlie horse showing up, the squad went through new plays and a stiff scrimmage drill today. Only tomorrow and Thurs day remain before the squad en trains for Corvallis Thursday night. Ed Brett, sophomore end, who came within four yards of giving Washington State another touch down against California, has a bruised shoulder, but will be in condition to play Saturday. Brett was the youngster who blocked a California punt, recovered the ball and dashed toward the goal line. With four yards to go and the field clear, he fell down. Ted Christoffersen, who was permitted to play only one half last Saturday, has a bruised shoul der, but will start Saturday, Coach O. E. Hollingbery said. Ollie Ar belbide, another good halfback who has been on the crip list saw a few minutes of action against California, and probably will be able to play against the Beavers.

Coach Harold Hauk of Par rish has been consistently seeking to strengthen his backfield, es pecially on defense, since the in itial c-amA aerainst West Linn "B" in which Parrish, greatly out weighed, nevertheless managed to eke out a 12 to 12 tie. in nopes of gaining his objective, Hauk has shifted Matteson, speedy end who made a long touchdown run against West Linn after receiving a pass, into the backfield along with Stevens. Hoffert and Myers remain of the ball-toting quartdt which' started the first game. In Matteson's former place at left end Hauk will probably sta tion "Red" Childs. The remainder of the line probably will be Doer- fler or Briggs, right end; Porter, left tackle; Hershfeld or Wilson, right tackle; Jones, left guard; Raymond or Stewart, right guard; Maers, center. t Independence strength cannot be gauged accurately but it is noted that Mort's first team this year is unusually strong and it is possible that the reserves are of corresponding prowess.

Already the "under dog" for Saturday's game with Linfield, the stock of the Willamette Bear eats took another nose dive Tues day when It became apparent that there is slight prospect that John ny Oravec, Willamette' ace bail onfrier. will be able to play. Ora vec suffered a leg Injury in the game -"with-' Columbia last iway and has not donne,d a suit since.

Don Mills,- . freshman '.. halfback who jumped into the harness and turn ed In a great game against Puget Sound, is on crutches with an ankle injury blamed on Nclipping in the Columbia contest and Bill Stone was added to the list of cripples Tuesday. Meanwhile George Cannady, who scored three touchdowns against Linfield a year ago, is getting back into shape following a renewal in the Puget Sound game of an injury suffered earlier but his ability to star-id up under the pounding Linfield will' dish out, is also problematical.

While no definite , developments in the Matt Hage case have been report ed, both state and county officers are still at work In an endeavor to solve the mystery. Officers were at Silrerton over the week end again looking over the terri tory in hopes of finding some pos sible clue other than those they have. Mr. Hage was found dead on the tracks in North Sllverton on the morning of October X4. At a coroner's jury cause of death was declared to be from a blow on the head by a person or persons unknown.
