Bearcats Pin Title Hope on Johnny Oravec Last Game With Whitman Starts at 1 :30 at Walla Walla Keene Dubious; Victory Today Would Mean L His 13th Win The Willamette university Bear cats, 29-strong plus coaches, left here at 6 o'clock last night with 4he avowed intention of bringing back a Northwest conference championship from their annual Thanksgiving clash with the Whit man Missionaries at Walla Walla. The game will start at 1:30 p. m. Coach R. S. "Spec" Keene, who will count up his 13th consecutive conference victory if the Bearcats win, reflected no such confidence. He saw the Missionaries beat Al bany 20 to 0 with a rapid-fire of fensive and their record shows them as- the Northwest conferen ce's strongest defensive team. All Hopes Lie AVith Oravec Bearcat hopes for a win will be pinned on the performance of Johnny Oravec, who will be play ing his last game, and big Dirk Visgerber, his point-converting fomrade in arms. Oravec rolled tip seven touchdowns against Whitman when- WiUajnetta won 75 to 0 last year and he is praying for a dry field: and no snow. Bill Stone, hard driving and hard-blocking right half, will also be called upon for a good share of the ball-packing while the little holes will be the special problem of Carl Rhoda, quarterback, who has shown a special aptitude for squeezing through narrow breaks in the opposing line. Reserve backs who will probably see ac tion . Inclade Jiggs Burnett, Jim Hogg. Don Brandon, Neil Shaffer and Manfred Olson. Keene will start the same line np that has opened the last five games for the Bearcats. Walt Weaver, pass-nabbing freshman, will be at left end with Charley Versteeg, all-conference, will hold down the right flank. Big Bob Vagt and Darrell Newhouse left and right respectively, will do the i tackling. "Bronc' Williams, fight ing lightweight center, and Har i old Hoyt and Elliott Becken, i guards, will stiffen the middle of the Willamette forward wall. jOlfton to Get Last iack .at Missions 3 I Besides Oravec and" cSei Rhoda, Harold Hoyt and Manfred Olson will be playing their last game under Bearcat colors. Olson, who has not seen much service this year due to injuries, went to town against Whitman at Walla Walla three years ago and is hoping to get in the game early enough to mop up a few more Missionaries before his playing days' are over. ' Keene will not lack for reserves to throw at the defensively Btrong Whitman squad. The following (Turn to Page 5,.

Ore., Nov. 27.-iP)-The Linn county court received' a petition signed by 150 resi dents of Mill City today asking for aid for families deprived of an income through the dismant ling of the Hammond Lumber Company mill. The delegation was headed by James Dawes, who told the court that 31 of the signers "are desti tute to the point of malnutri tion.' He said the others also were in "dire need," and that there is no prospect of improved conditions. The court called relief leaders into conference. .None Kligible For WIA Jobs The . relief officers explained that due, to the ruling that cer tifications of relief cases must be limfted to those who had re ceived relief between May 1 and November 1, 1935. the Mill City residents cannot be listed as eli gible for employment on WPA projects. It was also explained that since the group was not on direct relief previcusly, this form of aid also is barred. Dawes told the court the Mill City citizens heretofore had been self-supporting but that their sav ings had disappeared and their only means of employment gone. They are ashamed to ask for relief and have exhausted their reources before doing so' Dawes said.
