Meyer's 41-yard touchdown pass to Ed Grove, was a victim of its own over-eagerness, just when victory seemed firmly in the grasp of the soldiers. The fighting Irish struck des perately through the air in their last attempt to overcome the Ca det lead. Interference Ruled Bill Shakespeare passed to Wayne Millner with the closing seconds ticking away rapidly and the ball in Notre Dame's posses sion on Army's 29. Millner was surrounded by three Cadets as he reached for the ball and missed, but A. A. Palmer of Colby, the field Judge, promptly called the pass complete on interference by Ed Grove, Army half back. Palmer was backed up by the umpire, W. It. Crowley of Bowdoin, and it was Notre Dame's ball, on Army's two-yard stripe, with a half-minute to go. Big Larry Danbom. Notre Dame substitute fullback, dived over the middle of the line for the touch down that everybody knew was coming, but the Irish were unable to seize their sudden opportunity to pull the game completely out of the fire. Wally Fromhart took plenty of time in his placement attempt for the extra point but his kick, like Grove's in the first pe riod, went wide of the uprights. Gonzaga Walks on Puget Sound Team Loggers However Surprise With Two Touchdowns by Aerial Route SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. lS.-(P) Gonzaga's " heavier . Bulldogs had their will over the College of Pu get Sound football team, and won, 50 to 1 Sphere today. Although -the Bulldogs clearly were the masters, the Tacomans strangely furnished two of the j great thrills of the game a sen j sational first period touchdown and a magnificent fourth quarter drive for their other score. Brooks, Puget Sound fullback, passed to Sehwetz, halfback, who tore through opposition "for 20 yards to score in the first minutes lot play. Schwetx's kick for cbnver- islon was blocked, jln the fourth period the visitors opened with a dazzling aerial attack, Pate, sub full, to Brigg3 and Tingley. It scored a touchdown and gave the losers four of their seven first downs of the game. Pate carried the ball over for the score. Olsen, hard 'driving halfback, i scored twice in the first period for Gonzaga and once in the sec ond. Justice, halfback; McNeese, sub fullback, McElvajn. sub half, and McKenna scored Gonzaga's othef touchdowns, and Karama tic, fullback, completed two tries for point.

The Missionaries, usuallyia conservative team, tore all the leaves out of their football book of plays and threw them at Al bany, making their first touch down on a scintillating 21-yards thrust through the line by Cap tain Alex Dietz in the second Per iod and two more in the third period on pass plays. j An Albany pass attempt, battfd into the air and caught by Coin eaux, Whitman end, behind the enemy's last man, yielded touch down No. 2 after a pursuit of more than 60 yards. The final touchdown, a 70-yard gain, fal lowed a pass, Dietz to Whitacre, partly deflected by an Albany man, caught by Whitacre and car ried half the length of the field with two Pirate backs vainly trail ing the Missionary. Goal Defense Good Twice in the fourth period with Whitman reserves in action, Al bany halted touchdown threats less than a yard from the goal.1 The Pirates stormed the Mis sionary line futilely and their la teral passes were a red ink item. Twice they made good gains by forward passes and gained an other of their scant six first downs on two offside penalties. i i Albany's closest threat wos on a 20-yard pass, tossed. by Brown from the Albany 2 5-yard stripe to Barnes, who took it on his own 45 and dashed to the Whitman 25 before being stopped.

The Golden Bears are in the fore front of the fight for Coast Confer ence honors this year, and the bril liant record of the current outfit is .bringing back memories of Andy Smith and Brick Muller and that first famous Rose Bowl victory over Ohio State. j A new coach, in his first year as , Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, November This is the first appearance at home or abroad of our newest literary endeavor, a successor in these pages to wmiow- - - t On. Caustic car ried on in such scandalous fash ion that it was thought better for the interests or an concerned to get rid of him. He existed for a few months over a year and serv ed well in his way. May he rest in peace. Panl Hauser Maybe you can beat ' the Irish but you'll hav a hard time do ing it. We don't know whether Notre Dame was playing over its head when it scored in the last minute to defeat Ohio State. The defeat of the Irish the following week by lowly Northwestern seemed to indicate that. But when the Irish did the last minute stuff again yesterday to tie Army one could at least draw the conclu sion that the Irish are still the Fighting Irish. And' the William Shakespeare that wrote Hamlet s taking a back seat for the William Shakespeare that passes and runs for Notre Dame. Salem high is having a hard time winning a game. The Vik ings got through their first four games without a defeat al though Hillsboro tied them. They didn't look overly Impres sive in any of them. Medford trounced them 41 to 6 to start a five-yard loss on the next play however, and the whistle ended the first half. Budlong and Nichols, Albany guards, shone on defense, while Parch, Whitman back, was the star ground gainer in the short time he played. By BURNLEY- grid boss at Berkeley, is receiving most of the credit for the Golden Bears' successes, for he has elimi nated the dissension that spiked the big guns of powerful California elevens under Bill Ingram. Allison is immensely popular with the team and with official and unofficial alumni. , What is- more, he has already shown in his brief tenure at the helm that he is a tal ented constructor of winning grid iron machines. -,':., A powerful forward wall, is the feature of the 1935 edition of the Golden Bears, with two outstanding u 17, 1935 off the wialess streak and now the Vikings have not won for four times. Honestly we don't know what the trouble is f "r at . times they show the stuff that it takes. They seem, however, to be unable to sustain their fire. As Hollis Huntington once -said this seaon his boys are too nice. They don't get mad. They face- a real test against Beryl Hodgen's The Dalles ele ven this weekend. It's a long time between games for Willamette. It was a week ago they played Pacific and they still have. 11 days to go before they play Whitman. If they win that game another Northwest confer ence champi5nship will be theirs. Linfield is already claiming a championship (and if Willamette is beaten It's theirs for keeps) but with a tie and a forfeit can hardly claim it If Willamette wins. One co-championship is enough. O Negotiations for a, post sea son game are still under; way -in Les Sparks' office at ' Wil lamette. There's a possibility that the Bearcats will meet a California team sometime after Thanksgiving. Fresno State is anxious to sign up a game with Willamette on a home and home basis and may be taken up.- The Fresno team was tied with San ose State for the Far Western conference champion ship last year and is again champ this year. O Basketball Is beginning to be heard from. Les Sparks at WH lamette is coaching a freshman squad that is likely to be a world beater unless too many inroads are made upon it for varsity ma terial. Lack of veterans makes this a large possibility. Incident ally, the Salem city league or ganizes Thursday at the Y.M.C.A. This league has been getting stronger every year. Several like ly looking quints are in the off ing. - BRICK , "Qise of 7ne immortals or CAUFORAJJA& wingmen in the Brittingham broth ers; a great tackle in Larry Lutz, and a powerful pivot, Bob- Herwig. - A formidable Stanford team, im bued with the vengeful determina tion to knock off all Coast champion ship pretenders stands in the path, of the Golden Bears this week-end. If the Red Horde from Palo !Alto can dolo California what they did to Washington, which also had title aspirations, then Tiny ThornhiU's Grayson-Moscrip combination will have as good a claim to the Coast crown as any. - CaprrfcM. .

PAGE SEVEN Oregon Barely First String Called Upon For Lone Score; Irish Threaten Twice PORTLAND, Ore., Not. 16.-P) -Coach 'Prink" Callison of the University of Oregon was forced torush his first-string lineup into the grid game with the Univer sity of Portland today to eke out a 6 to 0 victory. The Pbrtlanders played the Pa cific conference . team on even terms with the exception of the third quarter. Frank Michek, driv ing fullback, sloshed his way for four consecutive first 'downs to the Portland 7-yard line. On the next play, with the entire oppos ing team still watching Michek, Bob Braddock from his position at right ha,lf, plowed through for 6 yards and Michek on two plun ges crossed the line. Callison played his second string, the first two nd final quarters, apparently saving bis first eleven for the University of Washington contest at Seattle next Saturday. Both are Cautious Both teams played cautious football In the first quarter, kick ing on second down and waiting for the breaks. Punt fumbles gave Oregon the ball tw but neither time did a score result. At the start of the second half, the Pilots made a determined throat when Albin, substitute backfield man, heaved a long pass to Barlow, Portland end, over the goal line. An alert Oregon aerial defense, however, knocked the ball to earth from a cluster; of hands. j The Irish again bid for victory a few moments later when Mc Carthy, substituting in Portland's backfield, tossed the ball over the goal to" Albin but the heave was ust short of its mark. ; The 10 first - stringers ' whom Callison sent Into the garpe In the third quarter were allowed to play the rest ci the period, after giv ing Oregon the lead, but were jerked in favor of another second squad for the final frame. The Oregon reservists started a march on their own as the game neared its close but a fumble gave Portland the ball on its 22-yard line. Montana Battered By Stanford Subs i STANFORD STADIUM, Palo Alto, Calirv Noy 16.-i(p)-Stan-ford substitutes held a "Roman holiday" attpe expense of a bad ly outclassed University or Mon tana football team, winning 32 to 0 in a point1 scoring parade only held down to that figure by the local boys running themselves virtually into a state, of exhaus tion. ; ' ; While the regulars rested for. the "big game" with California a week hence, second, and third string reserves of the Stanford squad put on a show for their idle teammates. - i When he ran out of substitutes. Coach "Tiny" Thornhill called upon a couple of his regular half backs for a brief spell, while one first stringer. Right Halfback TBones' Hamilton, started the game and saw service j until the third period, when a broken rose sent him back to the bench. The Injury is not expected to kteep him out of future play.

In the wildest exhibition of wide open pass-throwing ijjj football shown by any major western football tearri this yar; Southern California came from behind to beat Wash ington State 20 to 10 here today, j '! j Forty thousand frantic fans cheered as the Trojans, after trailing 10 to 0, going into theQ . fourth period, took a leaf from Southern Methodist's football book and traveled the air lanes for three quick touchdowns. The touchdown drives were en gineered by Davie Davis, 168 pound quorterback, who pitched with accuracy to ends and backs, j jWhen the final gun barked, with : the ball back on the Cou gars three-yard line, Troy had completed half of its 22 tosses fo 200 yards over the bewildered giants from the north country. H jCoach Orin "Babe" Holling-be-y's team had outplayed the Southern Californians for . three periods. The invaders kept the ball in Trojan territory through tht first period and then -cashed in tor their touchdown midway through the second. -Goddard Hurls for Cougar Touchdown j fid Goddard fired a !harp pass to Levi McCorniack from the Tro jan 24. The halfback took the bajl ten yards from the goal and scored. , ! -,' i boddard again put the men. of Troy in the shadow of their own goalposts midway in the third. A 25fyard run by the great Cougar fiejld general took the ball to the Trajan 25. He dtove to the 5 on five consecutive trips with the ball. When line plays failed to gain, Mel Johahsen went in to kijk a field goal from the 15. j Southern California started: its firbt touchdown drive almost with thi inception of the final, period, il Davis returned a punt 14 yards to the Cougar 42. In two runs he planted the ball on the 21 and th passed to Gene Hibbs. God dard tackled the Trojan wingman twp feet from the gool line. Davis crashed over from there to put Troy back in the game and Jim my Sutherland kicked goal, j Washington State, attempting to cling to its slender lead, took h kickoff, hit the line twice for Blight gains and then punted to Davis who returned the ball '13 yards to his 35. He added six in two slants through the line. Deflected Pass is V'. Helpful to Troy - ; Goddard leaped high in an, ef fort to smear, Davis' pass to Hibbs. He only deflected the ball into the end's hands, however, and then turned to run him down on j the 25-yard line after a. 34 yard' gain. ii Davis promptly threw another strike to Homer Beatty; ; who caught the ball on the 10 and scampered, to the winning touch down. Sutherland booted the goal. I Desperate, now, the Cougars agin received the kickoff with Agee returning the ball from his goal line to the 15. An offside penalty moved the ball to the 20. Goddard and 'Rodger Dougherty djrqve to the 24, but the alert end, Hibbs, pounced upon a bad pass from center on the 13 to give Troy possession. Davis wast ed no time at all in putting the game on ice. Behind a trail of interference be circled left end on the next play to score.
