hero of many tussles, will again
be subjugated by the black-faced
Tillian Hobo Chambers is a ques
tion that will be answered for
Salem wrestling fans when the
two meet tonight in the main
event of the American Legion's
mat exhibition.
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. Cham

in the local arena last week when
Otis Clingnian. also previously
vanquished by the Hobo, look the
deciding fall from him.
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

8:30 o'clock.

Gioot of San Jose stating that the

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

Fresno State college. The Bear

.NE of the most important
National Leasrae trades of
the off-season was the rath

the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Bos

The Dodgers received Randy

We humbly suggest that the

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.

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

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. Dwight Aden, scoring
eight points, was outstanding.

clude a decision by major league
clubs to have printed on the back

Clubs which do not permit
