Elliott has met defeat and cha grin at the hands of the mus tached little whirlwind from no where on two previous occasions, once as an official and once as a grappler. Chambers tossed Elliott, acting as arbiter, out of the ring on his first appearance here and the youthful blond was unable to finish his offical duties. He chal lenged Chambers to meet him in the following week but again lost out. Elliott Determined Elliott, who knows scientific wrestling well enough to be able to coach it at the University of Oregon, has determined not to be taken this time by the wily tricks of the villainous Chambers.

Jack Curtis, formerly popular with mat fans here, will wrestle Bud Lipscomb in the 45 minute semi-windup. Lipscomb, who hails from SL Louis, Missouri, is one of the raw meat clan and has no mercy in the ring. Curtis is master of clean and clever wrest ling and has usually been able to cope with the worst villians with out too niuer exertion. Otis Clingman, the Oklahoma Admiral, will meet Dick Costello, the Serbian villian, in the 30 minute opener which will start at 8:30 o'clock. Bearcat Schedule For '36 Complete fSo San Jose Game; Pilots May Be Added; Six Games at Home Willamette university will not meet San Jose State college In football in 1S36, "Spec" Keene announced yesterday after receipt of a letter from Coach Bod De Gioot of San Jose stating that the dates offered by JVillaniette. were unacceptable. Willamette's schedule will prob ably remain as it now stands with nine games, six of them at home, listed. It Is possible, however, that a game will be scheduled with the University of Portland. The schedule, as It stands, is one of the best arranged by Wil lamette in many years. In addition to five Northwest conference games to be played at home the strong University of Nevada elev en, will be brought here. Two long trips will break the monotony for the sqnad, one to Caldwell to meet College of Idaho in a confer ence game And one to Fresno, Cal ifornia, for as engagement with Fresno State college.

B&AVfS IH 36. a .NE of the most important National Leasrae trades of the off-season was the rath er elaborate swap engineered be tween two more or less futile teams, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Bos ton Braves. The Dodgers received Randy Moore and Ed Brandt in exchange for four players: Al Lopez, Tony Cnccinello, ay Benge and Bobby Reis. It would certainly seem that the Braves got a break as far as this exchange is concerned, for the de parting players, Brandt and Moore, EL V FAUL HAWSE" K We humbly suggest that the ritizeM of Salem leave their coxy firesides tonight and come with all their kith and kin to the Salem high gymnasium. There the Salem high Vikings, a good and a fighting basket ball tram, will be playing the University of Oregon Ducklings. The Ducklings are coached by "Honest John" Warren of Fighting Fishermen fame and his name means basketball of a rip-roarln', ratin', tenrin tb riety. O For a high school that has nigh Hobo Raises Hob Hobo Chambers, mat villain ex traordinary, who will meet Har ry Elliott In a return engage ment as the mala event fare of the American Legion wrestling card at the armory tonight Chambers defeated Elliott in i l:M - ' - , "I '- ' - . prevlons match. were anything: bat sensational last season, while in Al Lopez they are getting one of the best back-stops in the senior loop; while Tony Cuc cinello is a capable infielder who should strengthen the Boston team's inner defense. Young Bobby Reis may develop into a first-class pitcher with more experience, having only recently been switched from an nf elder in to a raoundsman. The lowly Boston outfit, which almost went literally to the dogs last spring, when Judge Fnehs threatened to turn the Braves' field unto 1600 students, Salem high's gymnasium is very sparsely equipped for a crowd of specta tors. Perhaps that is the reason but even with its Inadequacies we've never seen that gymnasium needing the S.R.O. sign. Salem has the reputation of being a hot basketball town but the corporal s guards that turn out for games at Salem high and Willamette give that rep the lie. When a school has over 1500 students and the seating rapa city of its gymnasium is prob ably less than 800 you'd think there'd be no room for outsid ers anyway. Sadly that's no fact. Salem students apparently don't give a darn whether their team wins, loses or comes down with chickenpox. We'll wager more students attend games .at some little high schol whose student body could be lost in Salem high without a trace. Ys. Salem, with the state bas ketball tournament, is a hot bas ketball town. The trouble is it gets hot over basketball that one week in the year and then sub sides into don't-glve-a-hang leth argy until another March. There s nc other town in the state mat supports its home teams with less vigor. At Medford and Ashland, when the Vikings played there re cently, they thought the whole population of either town was on tha sidelines cheering the home town boys. O When it comes to drawing pretty blueprints of gymna siums we dont have much trust in architects. They always want to make a gymnasium into a convertible (even a child can work it) , theater, sideshow, kit chen, dance hall, auditorlmn and fire escape. But we hope to high heaven the architects have done right by- the gym nasium on the new Salem high building. We hope there'll be adequate seating capacity and room enough around the edges. We hope that If it has the seat tng capacity the crowds will turn out to fill the empty seats. The final touch on Dick Weis gerber's muchly publicized offer from the Philadelphia football club of the National professional league came yesterday. It was au apologetic letter from J. R. Lud low Wray, president of the Phila delphia club, telling "SPec Keene that it was all a mistake Wray wrote: "I assure you it was a mistake on our part, as we thought that Weisgerber was senior, for the league rule prohi bits us from approaching a man whose class does not graduate this June." ' " - into a site for greyhound races, will be under new ownership this season, with th erstwhile Red Sox magnate, Bob Quiiro, at the helm. The genial Bob has decided to revamp the team entirely, and is even going to scrap the name of Braves, having announced that he will hold a contest to decide on a new name for the Beantown oat fit. However, the fans won't worry about a new name as long as the team displays a new brand of base ball. OpTrtslit. int. Ktl ruum Sradleat.

INDEPENDENCE, Jan. 20 -(Special) Oregon Normal's streamlined Wolves sped ahead in the last half to beat "Spec" Keene's Bearcat quintet 38 to 25 here tonight despite a desperate rally staged by the Bearcats in the last six minutes of play. Oregon Normal, led by tower ing Jack Bntterworth, got the jump on the Bearcats in the op ening minutes of the second half and the Bearcats never quite re covered. After a neck-and-neck first half that saw the lead change momentarily, Oregon Normal led 14 to 11 at the half. The Wolves came back strong in the second half and held an 18 to 11 advant age before the Bearcats could get underway, a lead they increased to 22 to 12 before six minutes of the last period were gone. Coach Cox's Wolves, victors over the Bearcats for the fourth straight time in two years, led 34 to 18 when 13 minutes had gone in the last half and Keene, seeing defeat, sent in an entire new team. It failed to accomplish anything and with six minutes left to go he put the varsity back in the game. The varsity rallied and brought the Bearcat score up but could not overtake the gallop ing Wolves. Gastincau Jumps Gerald Gastineau, playing at center while his team-mate Bill Anton sat with his crutches on the sidelines and viewed the game as a spectator, turned In the fin est individual performance for Willamette. During the first half he did a great job of checking the sure fire Butterworth, holding him to four points, and took high scorinz honors for the Bearcats with six field goals. Butterworth with 15 points was high scorer. The Bearcat reserves softened defeat somewhat when they took a 28 to 18 victory over the Norm al reserves in a rough contest Twenty-six personal fouls were called, 16 of them on the Normal reserves.
