Fog Hides Contest -
Beard Runs 55 Yards for
First Score, i Figures
in Both Later Ones !
. By PAUL HAUSER -
They rang the victory bsll at
Willamette last night because It
was reported, on the good i au
thority of the Willamette team
and three football officials, that
Willamette had defeated Pacific
19 to 0 and thus won for Itself
Jta third straight Northwest i con
ference championship. f
, Nobody else of the 1S0O non
spectators who were present could
wear to it on oath for the play
ers and the officials were tho
only ones close enough to see It
and a few of them admitted that
they weren't certain about It alL
Some of the cash customers who
had come to be spectators end
found nothing to spectate but a
thick, grey wall of fog thought
they had three times seen some
actlrlty around the Pacific goal
line. A few of the more extrava
gant said they had seen what
looked like a spectre passing
through 55 yards of Infinity but
which they thought was Bill Beard
running 55 yards through fog and
the entire Pacific team to
touchdown.
Beard Figure I In
All Three Scores
This was apparently right and
it turned out, j after consultation
with officials, coaches and Play
ers, that BUI Beard. Willamette's
versatile left half, had quite a lot
to do with, Willamette's;. winning
of its 18th consecutive confer
ence victory. Beard-figured in all
the scoring. He returned a Pacific
punt 55 yards for the first touch
down. He passed to Walt Weaver
for a 47-yard gain that put the
Bearcats on a foggy three-yard
line from where Dick Weisgerber
scored and he dashed around right
! end for the third and final touch
i down. )
Maybe some of the Bearcats saw
Bill Beard nab on to something
Jthat looked like a football coming
down to him while he was stand
ling on his own 45-yard line. No
jbody could tell but It was rumored
jthat the Bearcats did - tome nice
blocking while Beard, appearing
to be just a gusty current in the
rolling fog, headed toward the
sidelines, cut to the left and went
en to the first touchdown in the
seeond period of! the game. The
customers saw Beard standing on
his 45-yard line! and that was
about the last they saw of him un
til a dared public address announ
cer said that It was a touchdown.
In a few seconds the announcer
stated that Weigerber's kick was
no good and the customers had a
vague Idea that the score was
I to 0. j .
Pass to Weaver 1 .
8etn up Second One
With the Bearcats on the 50
yard line, the only place on the
fifld where they were vaguely vis
ible from the grandstond. early In
the third period. Beard shot a 25
yard pass to Walter Weaver. Bear
cat end. who raced 22 more yards
to the Pacific three yard line be
fore he was downed by an entire
ly Invisible tackier. Dick Weis
gerber plunged through for the re
maining three yards and-the sec
ond touchdown. This time his kick
from placement was good, so they
said, j :
Beard engineered a 53 -yard
touchdown drive-late in the third
period, starting jit with runs of 8
and 12 yards and climaxing It
with a five-yard dash around right
end to score. During the march
Beard went ten yards on a re-
' verse and made -a fourth down
nass to Bradon : good for nine
yards. - . mH' i.;

Maritime Strike
Includes Mexico
MEXICO CITY, NoV. lO.-P)-Vicente
Lombardo Toledano. sec
retary general of the Confedera
tion of Workers of Mexico, said
tonight its members of, the Paci
fic coast of Mexico had been In
structed to boycott United States
vessels calling there.
The step - was taken, he - ex
plained, after C. J. Jordan, sec
retary of the Federation of Mari

California, wired asking Mexican
labor's "a. id and cooperation in
their strike."
Lombardo Toledano said his
telegraphed Instructions, dne to
take effect today, would not nec
essarily mean United States boats
calling at Ensenada, Manzanillo,
Guaymas, Mazatlan and Acapulco
could not be loaded or unloaded,
since tbe confederation does rot
fully control those ports. -
"However," he added, "we ex
pect Independent units as well ss
a Mazatlan affiliate of the re
gional . Confederation of Mexiear
Workers to second this move.".
