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

cleanies in the game Ernie Pi

Whether the addition of Cling

Clingman and Piluso, while

had enough experience in Donny-

fire, and fans can expect a ring
carnage unsurpassed in 1 o c a l

Referee Harry Elliott said
Monday that he would make no

"If they want to play rough, let

he would be content to call falls
