Yada has been crowd ing Becken hard all season playing about half the time, but . will be starting for the first time. Floyd .

What they lack in weight is reported- to be more than made up In toughness and fight. Alex Mechtktff, the Mad Russian. was a former all-city; high whool center In Los Angeles. Weigh ing but 160, he is reported to be a potent plvotor andean ex cellent defensive man back of the line.

The boys may think so, but the intersectional records this season don't show it. The effete (pet word beyond the Alleghenies) east not only is holding its own in competition with elevens from the midwest,, south, southwest and far east, but doing better than that The east is leading the pack True, tar western teams have a perfect record,, unmarred either by defeat or tie. But the western era have played only three inter sectional games, to 25 for the east. Of those 25, eastern teams have lost only five -and tied three, while rolling up 17 victories. Only the eastern and the far western delegations Washington with its vlctdry over Iowa, Southern Cali fornia with Its 13-12 defeat of Ohio State, and Colorado with a triumph over Missouri are bat ting better than .500. Mack Will Remain At Post, He Says PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21-UP- rne f niiaqeipnia Athletics, take it from Connie Mack, aren't look ing ior an assistant or a new manager because Mack himself expects to stay at the helm "for several years to come."

" "If my health permits, and I'm sure it will." said Mack, "I'll go to training camp and I'll handle the cltib . from the first 'day of practice until the last game, have no Idea of quitting." It will be his 38th season with the A's. - 7 - Gemson's Tigers Best S. Carolina COLUMBIA, S.

Rose Bowlers of Pitt, -Seek LARRY DRURY JERRY LAURENS te&oti Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, October 22, 1937 Whittler's Poets, whom Wil lamette entertains tonight on Sweetland, figure to be about in the same position as do the Bear cats. Both are in the rebuilding process, having lost a good share of their last .year's grid-greatB. Whittler's main loss was in the backfield, while Willamette sad ly misses such worthy former wearers of the cardinal and gold as McAdam, Erlckson, Versteeg, Newhouse, Vagt, Urell and Wal dron all forwards. Preserve Tradition. The Bearcats, however, are a pretty much chagrined crew over losing two games already this season to California, foes. There are 19 or 20 of the last year's squad who haven't for gotten the 21-18 defeat by Whittier. The whole squad Is anxlons to preserve and add to the 10 years of homecoming victories. They haven't any thing for which to save them selves. So it looks like a Bear cat night tonight, say we, by about 20 to 7. Kids Have Zeal. Salem's most enthusiastic foot ball league, the city intramural, enters its second week of dura tion this afternoon at 3:30 with Parrish against the Sophs at ding er, and Leslie host to the Juniors. The two senior high entrants took honors in the first round of play, each winning by a 6 to 0 score in two evenly played contests. Not that football Is played on a turn-and-turn-about basis, but because they, are convinced they have the stuff, both Junior highs are out to avenge last week's defeats. Tomorrow's Grid-Greats.

Mark it down in your favorite derby that today's clashes will be played for keeps as far as the kids who com prise the four elevens are con cerned.

Center Board ma a was chalked np with an error in that one as he splraled a pass over An drews' bead in the end aone where Hal Moore fell on it for the victory margin. No one felt worse about it than Boardman, we'll venture. ' Parrish Lacks Punch. Tom Drynan's lateral-conscious Parrish team lacked only a little more punch in the pinch to at least gain a tie with Verdell Rags- dale's Juniors. Three times Doer fler, Douglas and. Cutler worked the Inflated pig hide to within spitting distance of the Junior pay streak to be stopped cold.
