Works on Defense
"When , we get tired of throw
ing passes. all around: and over
them, we'll Just trot around the
ends." So; in most unorthodox
fashion. Coach Henry LeTer of
Linlield revealed the tactics he;,
will use against Willamette when
the two rivals clash on Sweetland
field here Friday in a game that,
in a fashion, decides the 1935 and.
maybe the 1936 North west con
ference champion.
Coach ' Keene of Willamette,
who would look on a contest with
the Old People's Home with
qualms, fears that vaunted pass
ing attack of the Wildcats more'
than anything else they can offer
und it. is for it that he is pre
paring his BeaVcats.
Pass defense and more pass de
fense, mixed in with a little of
something that looks surprisingly
like a clicking pass offense, is the
Bearcat program for the week.
Out For Victory
Lever's Wildcats, who claim
that their'33 to 0 defeat' at the
tands-of Portland was just-one
r of those things, are out , to take
the Bearcats this year. If they do
it will be the first time since 1925;
when Linfield won 3 to 0 and will
also establish Linfield as the best
bet to take the Northwest confer,,
enoe crown. ' : .., -1
Although Willamette will' out-'
. beef the Wildcats around 15
pounds to the man Coach Lexer
is confident that his speedy offen
sive, ..mixing a sure-fire aerial
threat with a quick-stepping run
ning attack, will be more , than
enough to offset Bearcat weight.
"The big, slow teams are our
meat; Lever is reported as say-.

Linfield's touchdown hopes are
based on a trio of letterman backs
and a willowy freshman speedster.

K. V FAUL HAU SER
It was two years ago yesterday
that we sat In the Linfield college
grandstand at McMinnvllla and
watched Willamette beat Linfield
32 to 7. It was a dismal game,
played oa a sloppy field. After the
game the Willamette students tore
down the goal posts, the Linfield
students rallied to the cause and
there were big doings for a few
minutes. After - that there were
repercussions and. athletic rela
tlons were broken off but that's
all beside the point. .. ' , J
The point is that la that game
we saw Dick Weisgerber play,
' soca a game of football aa lie
has .never played since. Dick
was a . freahmaa thea and al
ready he had beea talked ap as :
ome thing of eeasatioa. He ,
hada't saowa ataeh la the Ore
goa State- game bat he t Oaad
himself agafast Ltef leld aad
went to tows en the Wildcats. '
Dick was ail-American stuff In
that game. He played like a wild
man, shoving Linfield players all
over the lot as he cleared the way
for 'Johany Oravee who scooted
behind Dick's sheltering bulk for
long gains. Dick was all. fire and
fury. He was a real Joe Kasberger
player that day, talking it up ev

tans have played out their string
and this year will see the last of
them. Crisler admits that his re
serves are not what they war in
preceding seasons, and that may,
presage a slightly weaker Tiger la
coming campaigns.
Just at present, however, the Or
ange and Black warriors look
plenty tough to everybody, and Tom
Hamilton's Navy gridmea are liable
to be badly slashed by the Tigex'a
claws in their coming clash.

WeO, Dick played a good game
of football Sll that year. He and
Johnny wero dubbed "the touch
down twins" and Johany scored
more touchdowns than anybody la
the country. Dick never quite
reached the heights he attained la
that Linfield game, though. He
was good and he is good but we
keep thinking, remembering the
way he played against Linfield two
years -ago, that he could MLhetter.
To us Dick 1s still something of aa
unfilled - promise. We've - got a
hope that well see Weisgerber

Satisfied ; Lipscomb
Steals Show, Fall
Harry Elliott proved that vir
tue Is its own reward and that
honesty Is the best -policy last
night as he downed the triple
dyed villain, Bob Castle, in two
out of ' three falls In the head
line event of the American Le
gion's wrestling show last night.
Elliott , took the first and last
falls with deathlocks In 'a match
that was an anti-climax after a
riot - proTOklng seml-wlndup m
which Jack Lipscomb and Dickie
Trout raised the roof. "
Lipscomb won the seml-wlnd-np
by being awarded the only
fall, that by a bit of trickery.
Trout had the fall tucked away
but, unfortunately for the San
Diego sailor. Referee Walter
Achlu was : temporarily out of
commission af ter being tossed out
of the ring by. the marauding
Lipscomb. When Achiu regained
consciosness Lipscomb bad wan
gled his sholders off the canvas
and was perched on top of Trout
so Achlu, figuring that seeing Is
believing, awarded him the fall
2 5. minutes and 35 seconds after
the beginning of the match.
Fans Participate
That- was the signal for the
riot squad with Lipscomb, Trout
and Achiu engaging in a melee
which ended , wjth Jn.e ring
jammed with paying customers
and the' wrestlers barricaded in
the dressing rooms.
The remaining 10 minutes' of
the 45 minute engagement were
uneventful.
The Dark Secret, a husky gen
tleman In a white mask, gained
a decision over Jack Terry, Hono
lulu grappler, when the latter
was unable to return to the ring
after each had taken one fall in
the 30 minute opener.

Hauk yesterday continued to give
the Salem high Vikings some of
the most grueling practice ses
sions they have yet had.
"Sock em hard." was Hauk'a
motto yesterday as he drove the
Vikings through a stiff half-hour
session of tackling on punt returns-and
there was little fooling
in some of the tackles made. Sad
ly enough most of them were still
pretty sloppy and little Pete Hof

around the three tacklers sent
down to get him. -
Hauk followed the tackling ses
sion with a hard scrimmage minus
any kings-exing. First string backs
were getting through nice holes in
the line but failure to block out
the secondary stopped most of the
plays.
Hauk will probably scrimmage
the .Vikings again today, last prac
