Hobson has a number of men of both types on his S. O. N. S. Bquad, and his team this year has been outstandingly successful.

This is a Pacific Coast gridiron classic, and always attracts a mon ster gathering of fans.

Warner's successor, "Tiny" Thorn hill, was for many year's Pop's chief assistant at Stanford. Thornhill, aided by the great Ernie Nevers, hopes to break the Howard Jones jinx this Saturday.

The ancient Sunday laws, which at one time prohibited the oper ation of street cars and trains, the shoveling of snow and even pro posal of marriage on the Sabbath, have been under fire of baseball followers for years, but the drive which recently resulted in the new referendum law developed after the courts declared In 1915 that baseball is a "diversion" and therefore forbidden.

Jones spent many yean figuring out a waj to nullify the deceptive Warnei style of attack, and the success of the Trojans against Stanford seems to prove that he succeeded in solving: the problem. The Trojans will employ their usual power, with the elusive "Spook" Warburton providing the speed and the high-swivelling runs.

Friday bight when it engages Eugene high on the Un iversity of Oregon gridiron at Eu gene. This contest is always a hard one, and usually close. A year ago when Salem had one of Its poorest teams In many sea sons and Eugene with a veteran, powerful outfit was gunning for a state championship, the purple horde came to Salem and before a big Armistice day crowd, crunched its way to a 14 to 0 victory over Salem. The year before at Eugene Salem was defeated by the mar gin of two extra point conver sions, so that Fritz Kramer, now in his third year as Eugene high coach, holds a two-game edge on Hollls Huntington of Salem. This year Salem is stronger and though little is known about Eu gene's team except that' it lost to Corvallis and Medford, it is evi dent that Kramer has had to build anew, especially in the line, though he also lost two backfield stars who played this season for the Oregon Frosh; Owen and Bi shop. Wright at end is the only 1932 regular remaining in the Eu gene forward wall. Northam, one of the 1932 luminaries, is play ing for southern Oregon Normal. The backfield still Includes Leonard Srown, younger. brother of Elmer "the great." and Per kins, his running mate at ' half back; and , Warner - at . Quarter back Is a letterman, a regular at guard last year. Brown, Eugene's triple threat ace, did not play in tne Medford game. Despite its loss of veterans, Eu gene may be counted on to put op a terrific battle against Salem, es pecially since the red and black la somewhat crippled from injuries received in practice rather than in the Astoria game. Several of the boys' have hip injuries as ev idence that they are doing a lot of blocking this season and the re sult also of lack of proper equip ment. Coons, who had a neck injury which kept him out of the As toria game, has not practiced this week. Halvorsen and Salstrom are among the hip casualties and En gel has a charley horse. All of them may be able to play Friday night. lnterclass Hoop Practices Start For Stay ton Hi STAYTON. Nov. g. The se nior class was the second of a series of class, runs by collecting is points.

Leslie has not yet managed to win one of these games though it achieved a tie on one occasion and many of the contests have been close. This an nual encounter has been growing in fan interest from year to year, and a large crowd is ex pected on Sweetland field Satur day night at 7 o'clock when the rivalry Is renewed. Parrish, with one or two veter ans compared to Leslie 8 none, has had a better -season , to date, but Indication that they are fair ly equal in strength is. seen in the comparative scores against Dallas "B." Parrish defeated O r e g o n City junior 1 high and Indepen dence "B" and Leslie lost to them, but the Dallas scores hint that Leslie Is capable of holding Par rish exen if it gets "hot" as Les lie teams have in the past when the city ' championship contest came along. Leslie wUl have more weight in the backfield than Par rish, it was Indicated in advance of official announcement of the weights of the two Bquads. Parrish with its slight advan tage in experience, is expected to present a smoother attack, but Leslie may be able to hold it in check, whether the south, enders do much threatening or not.
