About The Oregon statesman. (Salem, Or.) 1916-1980 | View Entire Issue (Dec. 21, 1937)
By RON 0 EMM ELL Don Coons, ex-Viking pigskin artist who had a while of a good year with the orange-clad gridders at Oregon State this year, arriTed in Salem Friday after finishing a tussle with the exams, preliminary to Christmas vacation. Bale and hearty, Don says he weighs . in at aroand 172 whkh Is prob ably the lightweight record of the roast for an end. They don't come much tougher, how ever, and Don was chosen on - several all-opponent teams. system. It is Don's personal belief that Oregon State will have an eren better ball club next fall than was fielded this, despite tbe loss of the phantom, Joe Gray, Full back Kolberg and Guards Watts and Ramsey. Coons says tnat &u ner expects to change his whole offenslye tactics next year, and will snort two ball-carriers in his harkflplrt instead of one. It is the nlan to use both . Alexander and ; Higgins in tbe backfield. Under this setuni. Jay Mercer will be moved to the J quarterback post vanned bv the rraduating Dun can. Mercer cavorted at right half this year. . . x )l ounce to Do Punting. t It is Stiner's intention, ac cording to Coons, to convert Younce into a fullback and use his kicking ability to do the punting. Den Ell is also avail able for the boomer spot, and will iprobably understudy Younce. Both pass-snatching Joe VTendllck and Coons1 will be back for their last year at the wing herths. Veteran Jim Orr should be , even better at his snapper-back post, Hacken bruck and Gillis will probably handle the tackles, and Schultz and Schell at the guards. O Needed Change. l Never could understand the football coaching principle that calls for, virtually, putting all the touchdowns intone basket. It said basket gets a kink in it, there ! ia a sudden halt to the touch downs. That has been one glar ing weakness with the Beavers' offensive for a good many years. One. lone ball packer to do all the packing, or, 90 per cent of it. What a beating that one feller takes. He's bound to get it sooner or later. Even Houdini couldn't have been in all tbe scrapes the " Stater's solo carrier has been every "season and come out un scathed. , " Slugging Bee Cleared. Don cleared up another lit tle matter that has been both ering ns no little ever since the l"CXA-OSC game 'way back on October 16, There; was,' per haps, more evident animosity? in that ball game than 'in any Coast conference tilt we've ever seen. It finally brokSe out, in the last quarter, in an open list fight between Hackenbruck and a Uclan that banished both from the field. It seems, ac. cording to Coons, that the TjOs Angeles huskies thought every pileup was a signal for an un dercover slugging bee and the Staters naturally resented such ungentlemanly tactics. - O Web foots Ruthless. Those high-scoring Webfoot hoopers continued their ruthless assault on enemy baskets last week when; they defeated Union Oil 66 to 32 and Southern Oregon Normal 72 to 43. In the five'frays played so far the Oregon five has amassed a total of 312 points, as against 161 scored by. opponents. Same figures to be better than 60 points per 40-minute period. The high-geared ones will he seen in action here December 28 against the Bearcats.

Sam Snead Takes Title at Nassau Third Straight, Par Keeps Him Ahead; Harrison Smashes Reeord NASSAU. Bahamas, Dec. 20. (JP Samuel Jackson Snead, White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., whose stretch finishes are almost as famous as his powerful tee shots, came from behind again today to win the $3,500 Nassau open golf tournament with a 72-hole 276. Snead added a third straight par 70 to his opening 66 to draw down top money of $750 as Vic tor Ghezzi, Deal, N. J., the 54 hole leader, faded, to a 73 today and finished one stroke back. Ghezzj earned i $550. It was Snead's first victory since he won the St. Paul open this summer. His 276 was four under par for the route. E. J. Harrison, Little Rock, Ark.,' stole the final day spot light with a course record 64, six below par, to leap from 14th place to third and a $450 prize at 278. Harrison's 31-33 pared two strokes from the record 66 established ! by Snead Friday and equalled three times yesterday twice by Ghezzi and once by Billy Burke, Bellair, Fla.

On the training program today, it was blocking to start with and blocking to end with. In be tween, Coach Leonard . "Stub" Allison had the boys blocking. Right Halfback Sam Chapman, only casualty of the squad, was snagging passes with both hands indicating his injured left hand was responding nicely to treat ment. He suffered a severe cut recently from a broken window pane and is still wearing a ban dage.

The champions from the south led by CoacJi.FrahkThomas, pull out of Alabama tomorrow and will arrive here Friday morning. The Goldeni Bears of California have a different schedule. Coach Leonard "Stub" Allison sent word down to Rose Bowl headquarters today that his squad would prac tice all week and break camp Friday night. caiuornia continues to rule a betting favorite, but many wise heads, remembering p a s t tri umphs of the Tide in the big bowl, refuse to board the Golden Bear bandwagon. Experience prompts them to wait for an in spection of both elevens before making a decision.

Engage Villains A double dose of villainy awaits Salem mat fans tonight as Promoter Herb Owen pits his re doubtable meanie combination. Jack Lipscomb anu Bulldog Jack son, against two of the greatest cleanies in the game Ernie Pi luso and coast middleweight champion, Otis Clingman. Whether the addition of Cling man. heavier and a veteran team tussler. will bring Piluso the vic tory that was lacking last week remains to be seen, but the odds are better than before. To Fight Fire With Fire Clingman and Piluso, while strictly scientific matmen, have had enough experience in Donny- brook methods to fight fire with fire, and fans can expect a ring carnage unsurpassed in 1 o c a l wrestling history. Referee Harry Elliott said Monday that he would make no effort to discipline the grapplers. "If they want to play rough, let 'em," said Elliott, indicating that he would be content to call falls and let it go at that. Supporting Bouts Strong In the supporting bouts, Ace Freeman, flashy New York Jew, will meet Pat O'Dowdy over the 45-mlnute route. Freeman packs plenty of science, while O'Dowdy is a combination of all the vices of Jackson, Murdock and Mc- Donald. The 30-minute opener brings the only all-science go on the card, with Yaqui Joe, the great Sonora Indian, pitted against youthful Tommy Ward of Georgia Tech.
