Scoring Done
In First Half
Krueger to Keiser Passing
Combination Is too
Good for Salem
By PAUL HAUSER
There were two things Salem
high could be thankful Cor yes
terday after Corvallis high had
shown the Vikings just wnat can
be done with a few passr as it
gained a 14 to 0 victory in the
annual Thanksgiving day clash
between the two elevens. I could
be thankful that it may hare a
better team next year and that
yesterday's game was the last of
u season that has seen the Vik
ings belted from pillar tj goal
The Vikings were oulfought
and outgained by a Corrallis team
that knew, things about offense,
and defense that Salem has never
learned. It was CorvalIi3' sure
fire passes, handled by a triple
threat er named Krueger, that
paved the way for the Spartan
victory over Salem but Coach
Mush Torson's team also outgain
ed Salem on the ground. The Cor
vallls line, knowing a football
block from the kind babies play
with, opened gaping holes in the
Salem defense for Krueger and
Beavert. Corvallis' driving full
back, to plunge through.
Ail Passes Connect
The amazing thing, though,
was the Corvallis pass attack in
which every pass attempted dur
ing the first half when all the
scoring was done, was completed,
. and Salem's utter inability to cope
with the situation. Keiser, tall
nd, was on the receiving end of
most of the bullets that Krueger
sent steaming over the scrimmage
. and several times he reached up
out of a welter of Salem players
to snare them.
f Corvallis scored In the first two
periods, grabbing a break in the
first period to march 19 yards for
a touchdown and showing power
in the second with 72 yard drive
down the field for the second
Luunici ....
McCalliateiV big Corvallis
tackle, recovered Salstrom'b fum
ble of a punt on the Salem 19
yard stripe: to start Corvallis off
on its first scoring drive that end
ed when Krueger went over right
tackle from the three-yard line to
pay dirt after tossing an 11 yard
pass, to Keiser. Krueger passed to
Pflugrad, suspiciously close: to the
Wronr side, nf the end rnn rnr
the extra point. .
Long Drive Scores
There was just one exchange
of punts before Krueger Intercept
ed Salstrom's pass on the Corval-
, lis 27 and - the Spartans again
started up the field. They were
stopped at their own 34 but a Sa
lem offside on the punt gave them'
a first down and from there the
Corvallis backs alternated in tear
ing into the Salem line and
around the ends for short gains.
During the march Krueger tossed
tc Keiser for a 19-yard gain and
later on fourth down to P'lugrad
for seven yards and a first down
on the Salem three-yard line.
Twice the Vikings held line bucks
but the target-splitting Krueger
passed again to Keiser for the
. score and then did it again for
the extrapeiat.
Corvallis elected to rest on its
laurels In the second half and
.- kept Salem continually deei In its
own territory. - Krueger, besides
demonstrating his ability as a
passer and runner, showed that he
can kick with the best of them.
One of his boots was downed on
the Salem seven for 40 yards and
another went out of bounds on the
Salem two-yard mark.
Salem made four first downs to
Corvallis two In the last hrlf but
spent most of Its time fighting its
way out of the shadow of iu own
goal posts. The closest the Vik
ings came to the Corvallis goal
was the 39-yard line.
Of six passes attempted by Sa
lem one was completed and three
intercepted. There were no long
gains from scrimmage. : Corvallis

Two of Unbeaten
Elevens Go Down
Medford and Myrtle Point
Left; No Playoff for
Title Expected
(By The Associated Press)
Two of Oregon's undefeated
and untied high school grid
teams fell by the wayside today.
From the day's football warfare
there arose but one select team
Medford with an additional pelt
in its belt of honors.
Medford triumphed over its tra
ditional rival, Ashland, in a
rough and tumble battle 13 to 0.
Washington high of Portland,
city champion, gave way to the
hard-fighting, outweighed John
Rogers high team of Spokane 6 to
0.
Milton-Freewater, once deemed
the class of the east-Cascade area,
was trampled beneath a Hood Riv
er attack 13 to 0.
Oregon's fourth top-ranking
team Myrtle Point was idle.
Washington high, despite its
defeat by the out-state school,
cannot be counted out of the Ore
gon selects.
More Gains Unlikely
Whether the three schools with
perfect records in state competi
tion Washington. Medford and
Myrtle Point will have a chance
to decide top honors appeared
doubtful.
Other high school scores in
Oregon today were as follows:

Outweighed 20 pounds to the

The Portland team met with a
heartbreaking reverse in the last
minutes of the game when it fin

called back because one Washing

Again and again the John Rog

Stanford turned on the heat for m few minutes last Saturday and ad
ministered a surprising 13 to O defeat to California's hitherto un
defeated and untied Golden Bears, while 00,000 spectators went
wild. The Stanford running attack was fierce, beyond any thine
seen on the Pacific coast this year at least for those flaming few
minutes. Bobby Grayson of Stanford was at his Ail-American
best. So were "Bones" Hamilton,: "Monk" Moscrlp and little Jim
my Coffis of the Cardinals. Floyd Blower of California fought
his heart out. Photo shows Blower trying an off tackle slash

LInfield's record is marred by a
tie with Pacific.
! Possibility of a Willamette-LIn-fleld
post-season game was being
discussed generally here Thursday
night after the Bearcats and Wild
cats wound up their schedules un
defeated in Northwest conference
play. Any negotiations toward
that end must await the return
of Coach "Spec" Keene and Grad

Willamette from Walla Walla.
1 Fans hoping the game might be
arranged, pointed out that foot
ball weather seems to be continu

fall and that neither team has
been overburdened with hard
games during the regular season.

BELL INGHAM, Nov. 28;P)-4
The passing precision of halfback
Ernie Dzurich, combined with
the pass catching acumen of end

led the Washington State Normal
school Vikings of Bellingham to
an easy 25 to 6 victory over the
Oregon Normal eleven from Mon
mouth here today in the city's tur
key day grid battle.

exhibitions of aerial and open
field play to be seen here in years.
With a muddy field making the
pigskin difficult to hold, the Bell
Ingham boys completed five of the
seventeen passes attempted and
intercepted five Oregon passes,
each time for substantial gains.
Viking touchdowns came one In
each quarter. The Oregon ' score
came in the third, when a com
pleted pass and a series of penal
ties against Bellingham put the
Monmouth eleven on the one-half
yard: line and Borden, left half
back, plunged over center to make!

NEW YORK, Nov. 28 -(JPh- A
combination of "Rose bowl pros
pect jitters'' and an alert and rug
ged Fordham team smeared New
York university's unbeaten and
unbeaten and untied record today
and shattered the Violets' hopes
of participating in the annual
post-season Pacific coast classic.
Before a Thanksgiving day
crowd of 72,000 the largest ever
to attend one of these lntra-city
contests which started in 1899
the Rams overwhelmed the Vio
let 21 to 0, in a game which saw
bad blood develop in the second
period when rival players engaged
in a free-for-all fist fight.
The fisticuffs were Inspired by
Perry Geffen of N. Y. U., and
Amerino Sarno of Fordham, op
posing tackles, who squared off
after a 15-yard penalty had been
called against N. Y. U. After or
der was restored. by the officials,
Geffen and Sarno were banished
from the game.
Coming up for the 16th game
of the series with a spotless rec
ord and one of the most widely
publicized passing attacks in the
east. New York university was
virtually shackled on foot by
Fordham's closely-knit and pow
erful forward wan, and 20 per
cent of the Violet's aerial thrusts
were speared by Ram players.
Although he failed to account
for any of his team's points, Joe
Manlaci, captain and halfback,
was the sparkplug of the Rams'
offense and defense. The big.
black-haired fellow closed his col
legiate gridiron career with one
of the most sparkling individual
performances in the 36 years of
the series.
Fordham gained 230 yards ov
erland and Maniaci contributed al
most half of the total yardage, in
addition to taking a terrific body
battering that twice forced him
out of the game.

to Portland In the last few
years en the unfounded -basin
that a game between an unde
feated upstate team and the
Portland champions constitutes
a championship game.
