They're scouring highways,
byways and the sticks for that
product which goes the forth
erest towards keeping their
Jobs fairly - safe for them. I
mean college coaches they're
beating the bushes for material
to feed to their commercialized
athletic machines. No matter
how remote the little Tilla, it is
not too far off beaten paths for
these hunters who must hare
well-filled hides from which to
cut their patterns at any cost.
Ton can't blame them they
are in the thick of a big bus
iness that emphasizes grist -be
fore? the mill will tarn. Bat at
the same time it doesn't seem
to be a healthy situation where-'
in Tommy Prepschool is bad
gered from .;. all directions by
coaches and aluninl of various
colleges until he becomes im
bued with the Idea college is
an athletic whirligig of which ;
hell be the central axis.
Rude Awakening. '
No few of these high school
college athletic mill conscriptions
in fact the larger percentage of
them -will have a rude awaken
ing. That the eye-opening will
come when, they hare finished
their - college! careers, at which
time a fall realization of the tal
neleMness of a batch of Dress
clippings will dawn, will only ac
centuate the rudeness of that
awakening. Many will find out.
too late, that few dividends will
come their way out in the stream
of competitive life from the fact
they ran 65 yards to a touchdown
against Rah-Rah college in 1938.
Other Side.
On the other side Is the fact
many youngsters are getting
opportunities to enter ! college
who would not otherwise. Some
would not be interested in go
ing and others would not be
able to finance their way
through. For these, though
athletics are "in. reality tlvir
only intercut, h i g h powered
- proselyting are. the best thing
- that, could happen. For not
even Rodin's Thinker could
spend four years in college and
come out unbenefited. Thotgh
educational', curriculi may be
secondary to these subsidized
athletes, it is .nonetheless a val
uable commodity they may not '
hare received had it not been
for commercialized collegeath
letics. - ' f - ,
Want Woodburn Pair.
The intentness of the -search
for athletes is manifest by . the
number of colleges who were aft
er Dick Whitman and Charlie
Shaw, Woodbura's two outstand
Ing basketball, football and base
ball players of the past three
years. The. pair were on the
. "want" list of schools . t far
south as Santa Clara and as far
north as Washington State. It ha
come to this desk that Whitman
has designated Oregon as the
school to which he'll matriculate
In September, and Shaw wilt pro
bably follow h" v Whitman'
abilities, especially baball, were
sought by- - fully a half - dozen
schools. Some two weeks ago
Buck Shaw of Santa Clara paid i
visit to Woodburn-, and brought
Whitman and Shaw to Salem for
m wmlrrmt In tho lrunt YMf.A rtm
While it is understood Slats GIK
and Ralph Coleman of Oregon
State. "Spec" Keene and Howard
Maple of Willamefe, Babe Hoi
linghery of WSC and. Buck Shaw
of Santa Clara vould all have
liked to have either or both these
Woodburn athletes enter their re
spective schools, it is also under
stood Oregon's Howard Hobson
made Whitman, at least, the best
offer.
' Floral Offering. , s
University of Idaho alumni
are upset. It seems WPA this
year published an Idaho Ency
clopedia, In which appeared :
"The University . of Idaho has
.an annual homecoming day
held at commencement time.
The three-day program feat
ures a flower show at which a
large variety of Idaho flowers
are on display." Alumni feel
the parag ph should be pasted

Great Battle
First Man in History to
Hold 3 Ring Crowns at
t Same Time r
! By ALAN GOULD
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
NEW YORK, Aug. 17-p-Hammering
Henry Armstrong, the
dusky ; dynamiter from Los An
geles, pounded out a new chap
ter in fistic history tonight by
whipping gallant Lou Ambers of
Herkimer, N. Y. for the world
lightweight championship and
thus becoming the first man to
hold three ring crowns at one
and the came time.
Blaody, arm-weary and nearly
exhausted from his efforts to
stop the , game - title-defender,
Armstrong emerged from 15 sav
age rounds of fighting to win
the unanimous official decision,
detpite an erratic finish that cost
the little Negro three rounds on
penalties for hitting low and a
spectacular rally by Ambers.
. I Win Decisive
Armstrong, although unable to
finish his sturdy foe and actually
hard-pressed to save his win
ning margin through the last
tire . rounds, scored two knock
downs and - won decisively, not
withstanding the penalties as
sessed against him for question
able tactics and the partisan
demonstration by a majority of
the crowd after the verdiet was
announced.
Ambers was knocked down in
the fifth round, and saved by the
bell, which rang just one split
second after the champion was
smashed to- the canvas by a right
to j the jaw.
Armstrong brought his man
down again, for the count of
eight in the sixth round but his
n.cst desperate efforts thereafter
were unable to upset the cham
pion. i Knockout Bid in 11th
Armstrong threw every, punch
in I his arse lal in a bid for a
knockout in the 11th. Again, in
the 14th.- after losing three
straight, rounds to Ambers two
ot j them on penalties the Negro
connected w th 'a right hand that
knocked the- champion into the
ropes. But ior the backstop Lou
would have gone down, for -the
third time, but he recovered his
footing and averted further
trouble.
The" victory for the 25-year-old
Negro capped the climax of
the most amazing championship
winning . streak in 'pugilistic an
jnals, giving Armstrong his third
world title within Tess than 10
months.
Hammering Henry won the
featherweight title, by knocking
out Petey Sa-rron- in the garden,
last October 29. He captured, the
welterweight or 14T-pound crown
cm points from Barney Ross last
May. 31.
By lifting the lightweight or
135-pound honors from Ambers
the little perpetual-motion ma
chine of the ring recorded his
39th consecutive victory within
c t two-year period. Ambers was
enly the fourth opponent in this
string to go the limit. .

Official
League
Wait's, with George Roth fling
ing four-hit ball and with Right
fielder Ted Girod and Roth, con
tributing major share of the shl
lallah work, last night on Sweet
land blanked Square Deal 2 to 0.
The win tied up the playoff
series to ascertain Salem's No. 2
team in the state tourney, at one
game each, and necessitates a
third game Friday night at 8:15.
Girod Smacks Three
Girod poked his i second ot
three blngles in as many trips In
the third to score Roth, who had!
smashed a triple to the fence in
center. : ,
Well-hit singles by Adolph and
Roth, Girod's sacrifice and Gar
barino's foul fly to KeidaU in
right scored' Adolph with Wait's
second tally in the fifth.
The Dealers, playing errorlessly
afield, were woefully weak at the
plate against Roth's walkless
pitching. Twice they got men in
scoring positions but let them die.
Have Chances Twice
In the third, with one away,
singles by Caves and D'Arcy and
an infield out put men on first
and third. Bill Gentxkow's tap
to short forced Lou Singer at
second for the thlrdout. In the
eighth, again with one away,
Beard's boot of Cave's hopper
and D'Arcy's single to center,
along with an infield out, put
men on second and third. Roth
bore down to whiff Bill Gentzkow
and retire the side.
Tonight's 8:15 game brings to
gether the official all-stars,
coached by Don Hendrie, and a
pickup team from the balance of
the league, under managership
of Bob Schwartz and Clay Fore
man. The All-Star lineup will
