EIGHTY-FIFTH YEAR Caucuses frequent Earth Tremors Continue in Quake-Torn Bearcats Roll Over Coyotes Jor 47-6 Win Title Deadlock of . 1934 Decisively Settled as Grads Watch Stone and Burnett Shine as New-Found Toters for Keene's Crew By PAUL HAUSER Power first and sparkle later was a policy that brought over whelming victory to Willamette last night as its bruising crew of Bearcats steam-rollered and then dazzled and outweighed and out--classed College of Idaho Coyotes 47 to 9 before a homecoming crowd of 2500. The Bearcat regulars with Johnny Oravec in the lead as he started out on a new scoring re cord, did the power act to run up a 33 to 0 count in three periods. The sparkle came from a crew of freshmen,, second and third stringers, who came off the bench to pasa, run and lateral their way to two more scores. Coyotes Prove to be Badly Outweighed Outweighed nearly 20 pounds to a man the Coyotes from Idaho were no match for the busting Bearcats who rolled up 15 first downs to Idaho's three, intercept ed nine of the 23 passes tossed oy Coyotes and made life miserable for Loren Basler's outclassed .but still valiant crew. ...& ;V- ?' - It was a victory, that put the Bearcats on the top of the heap In, the Northwest conference and decisirely .proved that Willamette was fully entitled to the champ ionship It shared with Idaho last year. Everything clicked 'or the Bearcats. The Idaho line was powerless against the superior force of the behemoths called Bearcats. Not a single first down was made against the Bearcat re gulars and Idaho made only three against the reserve-filled eleven ob which they scored in the final period. All of Willamette Backs Go Places Every Willamette back went places. All the quarterback had to do was give the ball to some body and yardage resulted. From the first no one had a doubt that the Bearcats were again off to the races. Dick Weisgerber, responsible for 107 of Willamette's 388 yards from scrimmage, went oyer from the one foot line for the first score just before the initial pe riod ended. It was the climax of a 65 yard drive in which he and Oravec did most of the ball packing. Weisgerber's kick for point was good as were all of the five he tried. From then on Willamette was unstoppable. Oravec dove into the line for the second touchdown to Climax another drive in which Stone's 30 yard run was a big factor. - Interceptions Occur In Quick Succession Three pass interceptions in ra pid order, each resulting in a touchdown, took the win out of Idaho's hopes of riding to a sec ond half comeback on its vaunted aerial attack. Charley Versteeg started off the Interception cir cus when he nabbed Thompson's pass on Idaho's 46 and tore away to the 23-yard stripe from where Weisgerber and Oravec hammered through for the score. Moments , jlater Oravec hung on to another Tieave and dashed through a field (Turn to page 10, col. 1) Grads at Homecoming Hear Data on Campus Sale Plan One hundred fifty Willamette university alumni, returned for a visit to the campus yesterday, gathered in the First Methodist church early last night for their annual homecoming banquet.

The Passion play was the be ginning of all drama starting in D99 A. D.. and has lived through the ages. The play opens with the triumphal entry of " Christ into Jerusalem and ends with the cru cifixion and resurrection, portray ing in a most vivid and impres sive manner the last seven days of Christ on earth. Last Supper One of Colorful Scenes The last supper is acclaimed by many as one of the most colorful and impressive scenes of the play as the Savior shows his love and devotion for his disciples in what is to be their last communion to gether. Other outstanding scenes are "Bethany", "The Garden of Gethsemane", "The Remorse of Judas", "King Herod's Court", "Jesus Before Pilate", with a fit ting climax of the crucifixion and resurrection. .

It was peace talk about a non existent war the "war" many diplomats feared was brewing be tween Italy and Great Britain. The war of bombs and bullets, of dead and wounded, goes on; and so does the "war for peace" waged by the League of Nations against Italy, the "aggressor." "Buy Nothing From Italy" is Slogan The league's "war was mark ed Saturday by another sharp thrust the voting of a "buy nothing from Italy" boycott. But still the league machinery to pun ish Italy for its armed aggres sion against another league mem ber moves slowly. The "buy noth ing from Italy" blade cannot be gin to swing until the league fixes a date lor concerted action; ana that date will hardly be before early November. If the capitals of Europe are easier today because of the eas ing of ' the Anglo-Italian tension a tension "artificially created outside of Geneva," the British say there is no lessening of the deadly earnestness that has Im bued a million black warriors of Ethiopia to march to the defense of their African kingdom. The "major clash" bo long an ticipated on the northern front is shaping up. Both Rome and Addis Ababa agree to that. It will be fought probably at Makale, which is 60 miles south of the (Turn to page 16, col. 5) Driveways Battle Is Facing Council The battle of the driveways, which takes place in the city coun cil about once a year, is expected to start up again at Monday night's meeting when an ordi nance limiting the width of ser vice station and other entries from the street to 20 feet in width is expected to be intro duced. It was being prepared yes terday but which aldermen would sponsor it had not been decided. Similar to the last attempted measure of this kind, the pres ent bill would be retroactive in requiring service stations to re duce the width of their driveways to 20 feet and permitting them to have one drive of this size into each street faced. A station oc cupying a half block would be al lowed to have two such driveways. Whether or not steps will be taken to complete the Shelton ditch flood control project and avert what some engineers fore see as a high water danger as it stands at present may be known Monday night. The special coun cil committee named early this month Aldermen Perrine, Daue and Wieder had not finished its investigation yesterday. ..-': rjw it ,, --- iv.-x-M i mmmmmmmmjrt.:,rit;,.hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiiiimtiimimimMiM iin... i it i part of Willson park; right.

The "Holy Joes," comprising a group of ten of the younger members of the legislature, met here on invitation of Walter Nor blad, state representative. Of the nine present, eight cast ttieir votes for Semon for the speakership, and decided that it Semon was not elected, they would vote as a bloc unpledged. The term "extreme emergency was not defined, but was taken to mean that the "Holy Joes" would favor quick action on the statebouse rebuilding and nothing further unless some issue was deemed impossible to hold over until the regular session. Social security legislation was not men tioned by name. Full Program For Solons Suggested Pension and Employment Issues Are Included in Oleen's Plan Stating that no full program for the coming special session of the legislature had been an nounced, O. Henry Oleen, Colum bia county legislator, yesterday released what he considers a full program. In a written statement be states five points which he con siders should be covered in the special session. They are: 1. An adequate old age state pension in full accord with the national pen sion act. 2. A revised unemploy ment program to harmonize with the security act of congress. 3. Enactment of tax reduction bills passed by the house in the last session on real and personal property taxes. 4. A state power act to give the state full benefit of the Bonneville power, and 5. The building of a new state capi tol building. Oleen urges the use of the old site with the addition of Willson park, stating, "The funds to build the capitol building should come from some other source than a tax on property, and no bonds should be issued." "This program," said Oleen, "can be taken care of in the 20 day special session." Money Lender Slain MASON, Mich., Oct. 19.-;P)-Two highwaymen shot and killed Bert E.

Contests For Seats Loom, Cbiefly House; Speakership Race is Further Complicated in Caufield of Tillamook Dark Horse; Republican Bloc is Rumored; More Legislation Sought GOING into pre-session caucuses today, both houses of the special session of the legislature will seek to perfect organization plans for the convening of the session Monday morning, while the list of anticipated legislation hourly grows, causing state officials to predict that the full 20 days allowed by law for the session will expire before adjournment comes. While the senate faces little difficulty in organization, it must reach a decision on the seating of N. A. Boody, elected to succeed Ashby C.

Drilling is to be continued for a few days at least on this well while the sec ond boring, begun last week, will be continued. Should neither hole bring the desired amount of water, other test wells probably will be tried before the well pro ject is abandoned. Pre-Dedication New M. E. An informal open house for the townspeople of Salem will be held at the new First Methodist church Sunday school temple Monday night from 7:30 to 10 o'clock, with the pastor. Rev. James E. Milligan, and Sunday school offi cers extending a welcome to every citizen.

Dickson maintains that as the NRA was declared unconstita- tional his position never existed. He .has announced that he will claim his seat. On the other hand the bouse of representatives faces not only the problem of deciding whether to seat Robert S. Farrel, Jr., to succeed Lew Wallace of Portland, who was appointed to the state game commission, but must also elect a speaker before Its organ ization can be completed. Compli cating the issue is the- reported threat of democrats that if Wal lace is not seated they will con test the seat of Glenn O. Taylor of Medford, who is reported to have accepted employment as as sistant clerk of the federal court. Deadlock Prevails in Speaker Contest Still apparently deadlocked for the speakership as charges and denials flew back and forth, Hen ry Semon of Klamath Falls and Howard Latourette of Portland held the spotlight for election. A possible development was reported yesterday from Portland, that ! Latourette did not really expect to i get the position but at the right moment would throw his support to his close friend and ally J. R. Caufield of Tillamook, thus sup plying the election to an upstate man and effectually blocking Se mon. Other candidates for the speak ership are Moore Hamilton of Medford, N. Ray Alber and Wil liam L. Dickson of Multnomah. William Graham early this week withdrew in favor of Semon and O. Henry Oleen also withdrew but did not say who he would favor, stating only that a democrat would be elected. What position the "Holy Joes," meeting in As toria yesterday are going to take could not be learned.
