players when he called them to

noon. . ' '
"There must be some reason

and I think I know why this
was. I hare accordingly made
the changes which are likely to
stick for a long time to come.

whom we have been relying have

"Some of our older players

eolege Saturday to become the
Pacific -Coast conference leaders,
' limbered up a bit and then looked
on, the Webfoot reserves held a
stiff scrimmage session with the
freshman eleven in preparation
for their final conference game
at Los Angeles Saturday against
the University of Southern Calif
ornia. After their two-day rest, the
regulars will go In for "heavy
duty" practice tomorrow Coach
Prink Callison said. Indications
are the squad will be in good
shkpe for the contest that will
mean the coast championship for
the Webfooters if they can repeat
Stanford's success in downing the
men of Troy.
Biff Nilsson, veteran tackle out
of the lineup for several weeks, is
back in shape and will start
against the Trojans, Callison said.
-Bernie Hughes, center and co
captain, will be able to play, with
his shoulder, injured in Saturday's
struggle against Oregon State,
protected by a brace. Alex Eagle,
tackle, will also be ready to go in
against Southern California if be
is needed. He suffered a dislocat

TWO youthful football coaches
who have been very much in
the limelight this year are
Jimmy Crowley of Fordham and
Lon Stiner of Oregon State. Both
Crowley and Stiner are finishing
their first season as coach at their
respective institutions, and both
have enjoyed notable success so far
this year.
Crowley has built Fordham up to
the point where it is just about the
most popular football team in the
East, and the Rams may eventually
take Notre Dame's place as the na
tion's favorite eleven.
At Oregon State, the little known
Mr. Stiner took over the reins when

COMMENTS
tCUftTIS$
In spite of the hurried search
for adjectives on the part ef
t a r 1 o n a and sundry sport
writers since late Saturday aft
ernoon, we'll stick to the old
one. "Mighty Oregon. That ex
presses it. A mighty bunch of
Oregon men; and one of the
mightiest was oar, own Charles
Kay Bishop, the first Salem toy
to gain gridiron honors at eith
er of the state schools in several
years.
Big Chuck didn't start, hadn't
been classed as -a regular though
he tore Utah to pieces a week be
fore to show what he could do.
Saturday he went in "When Eagle
was hurt. He hadn't been in there
long when Franklin of the Bear
ers faded back to pass: Bishop
was right on top of him and when
the redhead cut loose Bishop leap
ed up, batted the ball with his
hands and then caught it; he
would have. had a clear field to
the goal, but he had to dive too
far to catch that ball, and he fell.
But he stopped that Oregon State
threat right there.
It wasn't long until the same
play came up again and this
time Bishop caught Franklin's
arm before he could throw; the
ban went skittering away and
they called it an Incompleted
pass, but Charley had stopped
another threat.
' A lot of brawn van rnrHPnlp1
out there on Mjiltnomah field Sat
urday, out the thing that made it
one of the greatest frames we ever
have witnessed, was- the distinc
tive manner in which brains held
the uppcf band over brut
strength. Right off the bat brains
gave Oregon State three points
that brawn alone, even . topped
with worlds of skill, couldn't have
accomplished. Franklin got off a
quick kick that caught the Web
feet napping, and a couple of plays
later Oregon State was knocking
at the door; its running and pass
ing plays took it close enough and
then the field goal cashed in.
Good strategy, we claim, because
Oregon State had good reason to
hope it could keep its. own goal
line safe. ' -
But the Stinermen reckoned
without the Webfoot brains. An
ordinary attack they could have
stopped, ever with "Iron Mike"
Mlkulak leading It. . Bat Calll
son'a gang used Uiknlak main
ly as a threat; every play in Its
-first touchdown drive either
was his "cruncher or was
coaching job at the end of last sea
son. There was no blaring of trumpets
or advance ballyhoo when Stiner
started in as head coach this fall,
but as Oregon State kept on win
ning from favored rivals, people be
gan to ask about this new coach,
who was working wonders with a
supposedly weak Beaver eleven.
And when the Oregon State team
held the mighty Southern Califor
nia machine to a scoreless deadlock,
Lon Stiner's coaching job was as
sured for some years to. come.
Stiner leads his sensational Bea
ver outfit against the powerful
Fordham Rams this Saturday at
New York, and football fans ia the
made to look like it. Mike would
head for the middle and then
Gee or Temple would spin off
tackle or around end, with
plenty of Interference at that.
The nearer the goal line, the
less often Mlkulak actually
took the ball, until the final
yard was needed, and then he
. made it because the Beavers
d 1 d n 't dare - concentrate too
close to the middle.
Then the Beaver passes; new
ones tailored to fit the Oregon de
fense, so that more than half of
them worked. A fleet receiver in
Pangle's place would have done
some scoring. But the greatest
pass of all was the next to the last
one: Acheson's toss to Biancone
back of the line; the Webfoot
line rushed the passer, the sec
ondary fell back to cover their
men; Biancone had a five-man
wedge to start with and nine-man
Interference for his 64-yard run,
and how he took advantage of it!
A dangerous play, but chosen at
just the moment it was most like
ly to succeed. And even some Ore
gon fans hoped, as long as it had
no bearing on the victory, that Bi
ancone would make it.
A queer bird, Biancone; . a
stormy petrel, a trouble maker,
even his team mates didn't like
him. Salem fans still less. Bat
somehow, we were glad to see
him, in the last minute of his '
last Coast conference game,
prove that he was, after all, a
football player.
As we said. It was a great
game. Great because the Webfeet
had the overland power and. de
ception to win and did, but the
Beavers carried a threat every
moment, even after Oregon' got
its second' touchdown. Two Beaver
thrusts all but worked, in the re
mainder of that final pjriod. Well,
it's an old story now, but still a
good "one and so we've told our
version ot It sketchily, we could
keep on for columns and columns.
What'll the Webfeet do to the Tro
jans? Walt till we ask one. What
is the weather like in Los Angeles
this time of year? Oh, you think
we're a pessimist. Maybe so; we
won't fall dead if Oregon wins.
But we'll give you Oregon enthus
iasts the same advice we gave the
Oregon State bugs; don't give any
odds, or any points.

mined that Willamette's Bearcats
and the Albany Pirates would play
Friday Afternoon, Salem high and
TllltmnnV hrW that nirht both
games to be on Sweetland field.
That seemed to be the only ar
rangement possible, since both
games were originally scheduled
for Friday and neither Albany col
lege nor Tillamook high could
change to Saturday, Albany be
cause many of the players are em
ployed on Saturdays, and could
not get away from their jobs; Til
lamook because it has a "B"
game scheduled Saturday which
Coach Russell Rarey must also
supervise.
Both of these contests have sev
eral unique angles which add to
their interest. The college game
will mark the first appearance
here, of Clyde J. "Red" Hupert in
the role of football coach, though
he has brought many baseDai
teams to Salem and they have al
ways been scrappy no matter what
the outcome; and it win be tne
last home game of the season for
the Bearcats, and Incidentally the
last home appearance of three vet
eran linemen, "Wienie" Kaiser,
Lowell Gribble and Ed Tweed.
The bieh school game brings
here a team that has not been de
feated in two seasons, and one
which was widely regarded a year
ago as the eleven that should have
been given the call for the Port
land "state championship" game.
There is also an element of re
venre in it. for Salem lost to Til
lamook 31 to 0 a year ago.

To Throttled Offense and
Need of New Rule Changes
By EDWARD J. NEIL
NEW-YORK, Nov. 13. (AP) College football scoring,
on the basis of performances, this season by teams
representative of the entire country, has set a new low
record, thereby- adding weight today to arguments of
coaches that the defense has gained the upper hand and,
in effect, pretty well throttled the offense.
Despite the fact most nigno-
s e o r i n g "breather" games are
over, and only tight, low point
battles lie ahead, average scores
of 164 teams have dropped to
12.09 points a game. Over the
entire season of 1932, 169 elevens
averaged 12.83 points per game,
a mark 1.17 points tinder the
lowest previous average in the 11
years the Associated Press has
kept such records.
The downward trend is all the
more Interesting in view of last
winter's major rule change, speci
fically devised to aid the of
fense, and eliminating the neces
sity for wasting a-down to carry
the ball outside after it had
lodged close to the sidelines. Un
der this season's code the ball
automatically comes in 10 yards
whenever it is downed, c 1 o s er
than that distance to the boun
dary. Inasmuch as the major elevens.
with stubborn late November and
early December games still ahead,
scarcely can hope to average two
touchdowns per Saturday, there
seems every likelihood ot a fur
ther drop In the averages over
the full season, and a corres
ponding increase in agitation this
winter for more rule changes.
Lou Little, of Columbia, chair
man of the c o a c h e s advisory
committee that meets with the
the rules committee, has opened
the drive for further changes
with the suggestion football elim
inate the "dead ball" provisions
on fumbles and blocked kicks.
Little had suggested, and sev
eral other bead coaches have
Joined in the movement, return
ing to the old regulations, where
fumbles and blocked kicks were
free balls and could be picked up
and advanced. Little believes the
"dead ball" rule, devised to aid
the offense by increasing use of
the lateral pass through a de
crease in the penalty for fumbl
ing on this type ot play, has not
obtained its objective and has re
sulted only in complications for
officials and players.
Many coaches believe the "dead

Scoring averages have shown a

The Irish have shown great of

ing. He has also stood out as a
defensive player against passes.
In their last four games the
Irish have not been scored on, due
