UPSET FEARED
Psychological Moment for
; Letdown, His Theory; .
' Players Bruised
' W 1 1 1 a m e tie's overpowering
Bearcats will leave here 'this
morning to meet the bard-lack
Columbia Irish in the Multnomah
Stadium in Portland at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon. A special
train will carry more than 200
rooters from Willamette and Sa
lem to the game and Willam
ette 'students will put on a 15
minute pep rally over, station
KG W between 12 and 12:15 as
prelude to' the clash.
'. The Bearcats who have taken
everything in stride since the
Oregon State game, are favored
to'wln over the Irish whose only
victory , this season has been a
9 to 0 win over Albany college.
Willamette deleated Pacific 24
to 0 after the Irish and the
Badgers had played a 12-12 tie
game. The Bearcats also defeated
Linfield S 2. to 7. Linfield last
week upset Columbia '9 to 0.
But with his team doped to
win Coach "Spec" Keene was
characteristically far from opti
mism yesterday as he ran the
Bearcats through a stiff pass de
fense practice.
"This Is the psychological mo
ment for us to take a licking,"
Keene said. "We are at the peak
of a successful season and riding
for a falL Our California trip
didn't help us any either."
Sound Bat Bruised
Only a few minor injuries are
listed In the Bcurcat camp, al
though nearly all of the team bear
some mark as a reminder of the
San Jose game. Injuries will
keep none of the Bearcat regu
lars out of the lineup. Dick Weis
gerber, heavy scoring fullback,
has a slight hip Injury, while
Karl Welsser Is bothered a little
by & sore shoulder..
As usual Keene fears that pass
es will spell ruin to his team.
The Irish have a spectacular pass
ing attack that may cause the
Bearcat ssome trouble. However,
the Willamette pass defense, em
phasized In practice all season,
Is as strong as that of any team.
The Bearcats will probably
stick to the strong Tunning plays
that have brought them success
this year. The Columbia line,
strong and hard-hitting, will be,
however, one of the toughest
which the Bearcats have yet come
against. In Lelnweber and Bren
an Coach Murphy has a couple
of tackles who could fill regular
posts on any varsity eleven.
The Cliffdwellers, following i
following the most unsuccessful
season they have seen in recent ,
years, will certainly be far from
over-confident. Worries have been i
plenty In the Irish camp as they
prepared for the Willamette
game. One "of the chief worries
of Coach Murphy is the number
of tumbles his players have made
this season. In the Linfield con
test the Irish fumbled eight times
and all but two times Wildcat '
backs recovered.
: 1033 Repetition Possible
However, Columbia may bit
Its stride against Willamette. The
Irish hare always played their
best against the Methodists and
last year defeated a Bearcat team
that was doped-to-win 13 to 0.
This will be an Item for revenge
when the Bearcats take the field
today.
Columbia has a strong running
attack with Corcoran, fullback,
starring as the ball carrier. Pi
lip and Harmon are both speedy
In the half positions. The Irish
will be fighting to win this game
as It would be a great redemp
tion of their season to defeat the
powerful Bearcats. With a game
with Santa Clara coming up next
week. Coach Murphy will also
have an eye on the rise in the
gate receipts if his team could
beat out Willamette.
The game today will be the
third time the two schools have
come together In recent years.
In the first game In 1932, the
first game ever played oeneatn
the Sweetland field lights, the
Bearcats won 4 to .0. Last year
. Columbia, - although outdowned
1 to 1 beat the Bearcats 13 to 0.

The slimmer, tapering pigskin

this innovation, plus a couple of
slight rule changes, is bringing
about a shift of emphasis from the

one incomplete pass into the end

made attack via the air route less

New York, Nov. ie.-ff)-Bob Olin,
plodding New York graduate of
the Golden Gloves amateur ranks,
dethroned Maxie Rosenbloom,
clowning champion of the light
heavyweights for the past four
years, in a lS-round match tonight
before a crowd of 7300, in as poor
a tight as a New York crowd ever
saw.
For 15 weary rounds Rosen-
bloom, once a past master of the
hit and get away art, stumbled
his way along, his speed, bis stam
ina, everything that made him a
champion, gone. Olin, New York
Golden Gloves champion, wasn't
much better. He could scarcely
have been worse, and he did try.
There were no knockdowns.
scarcely anything at all, and the
crowd, booing and whistling at
first, finally lapsed into a "don't
care" silence.
Olin's manager said as he start-
ed'out of his corner for the 14th
round, "For God's sake, fight. IV t.
so terrible it isn't even funny."
At the end of the lttth round one
of the judges, scoring under the
New York point system, muttered

"They are now all even on

CORVALLIS, Ore., Nov. 16.-
(P)-With the hardest part of its
schedule already played, the Ore
gon State college football team
will meet the University of Mon
tana Grizzlies here tomorrow.
It will be the homecoming game
for the Beavers who were favored
to gain their first conference win
of the season from the Invading
Grizzlies.
Montana has a stubborn de
fense, and was expected to employ
a deceptive offense. Coach Bunny
Oakes' Grizzlies opened up with
some daring maneuvers for size
able gains against University of
Oregon at Eugene two weeks ago.
Montana's line was impassable
within the 10-yard line, but Van
Vliet of Oregon turned in two
long touchdown runs.
The Beavers were in the best
shape since the start of the sea
son. Jim Daneri, reserve ball car
rying half, was the only one suf
fering from injuries.
In this week's practice much
attention was given to the center
ing as low passes from center
slowed Franklin repeatedly on -his
end runs against Oregon.
SALE IS PUNNED
Sale of an additional block of
certificates of indebtedness against
the state liquor fund, to match
federal money for unemployment
relief in Oregon during December,
will be held here November 26,
Rufus C. Holman, state treasurer,
announced Friday. He estimated
that the Issue would not exceed
$250,000.
Holman said thatTn case the
present proceeds of the liquor
fund exceed $250,000, the amount
ne."Cfc"ary to pay off certificates of
indebtedness issued previously,
the balance would be turned over
to the relief committee to offset
the necessary additional $250,000
requirement.
The sale of additional certifi
cates was declared necessary after
Attorney General Van Winkle had
ruled that proceeds of the liquor
control commission must first be
used to pay outstanding certifi
cates before being distributed to
the counties for relief.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-P)-In-
tersectional warfare gives way to
traditional rivalry tomorrow
along most of the country's far
flung battlefront of college foot
ball with the main national inter
est focused upon the fight of three
unbeaten, united eastern aggrega
tions to keep their banners from
being abruptly hauled down from
the heights.
Generally speaking, in the
south, middle west and far west,
the chief championship contenders
appear to have comparatively lit
tle to worry about but the family
row in the east reaches a grand
climax with the perfect records of
Princeton, Syracuse and the Navy
at the stake.
Close to 50,000 may see Prince
ton "shoot the works" against the
Elis. The margin isn't likely to
be as great as It was last year,
when the Tigers romped around
the Yale bowl to win by 27 to 2
but the blue will need plenty of
"breaks ' to offset Princeton's
vastly superior resources in man
power. Yale's main hope seems to
rest in the passing arm of Quar
terback Jerry Roscoe.
The Syracuse-Colgate and Navy-
Pittsburgh games constitute a
sacrifice on the altar of gate re
ceipts. Both are sellouts, with 30,-
000 packing Archbold stadium at
Syracuse and 25,000 jamming the
stands at Annapolis, but each
would likely cause the "S. R. O."
sign to be hung out at the Yankee

downtrodden Trojans In a toot-

But the Invaders brourht dis
couraging news with them. Coach
rank uaiii8on said it was highly
unlikely that Bobby Parke, a
southern California boy and ec
captain. would be able to nlav
in his starring role at halfback
tomorrow.
By coincidence, from the walla
of Tror came the annonneemAnt
that Ford Lynch, new found full-
oack irom Long Beach, Parke's
home town, also probably would
not see action due to a neck in
jury sustained against California
a week ago. Parke is suffering
from a wrenched knM and hi
chief understudy, John Relsch-

Callison frankly stated that he

1849, this old house was in course
of construction, and It was not
ready for occupancy. That is the
corner, though the house did not
come up to the front of the lot,
which Is not strange, for land and
lots were cheap, and this was the
first house built in that section,
of what became Salem. The con
slderation in the Willson deed to
Beckett was $100. The property,
was worth more by the time tha
deed was made, 10 years later, so
no doubt there had been origin
ally some Instrument like a bond
for a deed, probably predicated
upon the condition that the pur
chaser should build upon the lot
which was a not unusual thing
with the Willsons, townsite pro
prietors. The survey for platting was
likely being made, or had already
been completed. In September
1849. The survey was made by
Isaac N. Gilbert, of the 1844 Im
migration, and recorded by him
for he was the first clerk of Mar
ion county; prominent In many
ways in pioneer times, one of the
tour founders of the First Congre
gational church 4 of Salem, etc.
etc., and great friend of Dr. Mar
cus Whitman, at whose mission ha
tarried for a time on his way tf
Oregon. Mr. Gilbert made all of
the first surveys, and recorded the
first three plats. County clerks
acted also as recorders up to the
late eighties.
