Pendleton high '.where, accord ing to Ledbetter, he took hold of a ' bunch ot kids who didn't, at the season's outset,: stack up to be much in the, way of football potatoes." He brought then along, almost as fast as the growth -of Umatilla; county; tumbleweeds, t however, and by season's end his Buckaroo team was as obnoxious ' to adversaries as the tumbleweeds are to the wheat farmers there . abouts. ? - .

Statistics Will Tell. . It will be interesting to take a specific example of a season's bas ketball play and note the general effect or tendency tlrat thB elimi nation of the center Jump actual ly has. Last year Willamette played a total of 28 court! gam Of those the 'Cats won" 21, drcy ping seven. In doing so they com piled 980 points to 808f scored against them. In the 28 games, the 'Cat court combination averaged a little better than 34 points per . game their opponents averaging a shade more than 28. In nine of the 28 frays, the 'Cals wonbr lost by a margin not exceeding four points-r-or two buckets. The larg est margin of victory posted by Willamette was 25 points, over Albany. Largest loss margin was ta Union Oil of Portland, whom then cats meet tonight, j by 12 points. With everyone predicting higher scores, due to the junking . of the center leap, it will be inter esting to note the mean marginal v difference in games won Snd lost over a Jason's play.

Coons Is Star As Orange End Few Plays Get Past Left Side of Line; to Play one More Season OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvaliisi Dec. 9. (Special) Breaking into the regular line when only a sophomore, Don Coons, speedy little .left end from Salem, recently completed his sec ond year at the wing position for Oregon State. .-- Coons, weighing. only 175 pounds, makes up for his lack of weight by being a hard charger and a very, keen man to sense op ponents' plays. On numerous Oc casions during ' the season, the Beaver end was seen trailing an enemy play around and spilling it from behind. - ' While his offensive playing was not as flashy as his more widely known teammate, Joe Wendlck, Coons was much the harder of the two to he "sucked in" by the opposition. In fact, Oregon State's opponents found it tough going around the left side of the Orange line this season. Plays Every Game Coons participated in every game for the Orange this year. He was injured near the close of the campaign, but recovered1 quickly and still managed to see Bervice. Officially listed as a junior, the left wingman still has left what should be his greatest year of con ference ball. Next season Coons will again be teamed with Wend lick and Coach Lonnie Stlner of the Beavers feels that his end po sitions should give him no trou ble during the 1938 grid race. In addition to "his stellar defensive- play during the race. Coons also developed Into a good offen sive blocker. His use as a blocker is expected to be utilized to a greater extent next year under the faster offense that Coaoh Stiner is planning.
