( Special )-Threo minutes of "fast
tempo" football In the fourth
quarter of" an - .otherwise even
came, in which the Portland Pi
lots ran eight consecutive plays
and 11 out of 12 thrusts straight
across Willamette's left tackle,

Nearly 6000 fans were sprinsiea
through these stands as the Pi

four ihinutes old. . They marched

yard penalty on the 'Cats for too
manyftlmes out. .
Left Side Knifed :
Mercilessly -
CatjEnd Lonergan, 'Cat Tackle
Kahle 'and 'Cat Guard McKinney
were on that left side of the Wil
lamette llnei that was knifed as
heartlessly as a cat in the labora
tory of a bunch of medical stu
dents. What that side of the Bear
cat line must have looked like by
the time it freached the dressing
rooms. I shudder to think'.
Stewart's towering 54-yard punt
was received by Wescott on the
Pilot 23, and as he stepped back
to the 22 to get his stride Loner

lots started,: and I mean howdy!
Westcott on a reverse over the
hapless left side of the Bearcat
forward wall, ran clear to the 45

first downs. The 'Cats were penal

then "Jumping Joe" E n z 1 e r

was E&zler for four, Frank Ma

four again and a first down; Enz

Maloney for two and a first down;
Enzler. for three, and then Ma
loney tffled a pass to Murray, the
only play of the 12 which didn't
go over the left side of the 'Cat
' line, that was good for 16 to the
Willamette four-yard line and the
fitn consecutive first down.
Conversion Pass
Attempt Stopped "
In the scoring series Maloney
was held for no gain at that left
tackle, which was something en
tirely new, but Ensler immediate
ly churned over the same spot to
the one-foot line and then, on the
third down, smacked again for-the
touchdown. Maloney's pass at

knocked to the sod in the end
cone by Erv Miller.

tackle slot, was playlmr with a

right arm" but who subsequently
opposed the president's supreme
court reorganization plan, had an

bernatorial race.
"I am 'made very happy by the
willingness of Governor Lehman
to accept renomination," the pres
ident said. "I am certain that the

Ousting Right
Proposal for Amending
Constitution Major !
Issue at Meet
Defeated Proposal Would
Have Denied Governor
to Oust Heads
. The Oregon State bar last night
refused to give its approval to a
proposal that the governor's pow
er to oust appointive state offi
cers, board and commission mem
bers be restricted and tabled a
suggested senate joint resolution
calling for a constitutional amend
ment to effect the plan.
The proposal had developed in
to a major issue of the bar meet
ing here and the extended discus
sion it evoked caused action on
several committee reports, includ
ing those on administrative law
and selection of jurors, to go over
into the closing sessions today. -
The amendment would have for
bidden, the removal of appointive
officials, by the governor, except
for cause, which was defined as
misfeasance or nonfeasance of of
ficial duty, moral turpitude or
conduct unbecoming a state offi
cer. Gtosslln Opposed

and have served in office at least
10 years and Judges who become
physically disabled after 15 years'
service on the bench, to reUre on
two-thirds regular salary. Cost of
the retirement plan was estimated
at $30,000 a year.
Lawyers Opposed .

voted themselves as "unalterably
opposed" to a legislative bill spon
sored by realtors, particularly as
I to one provision that would spe-
re-f6Hr authorize brokers to draw

actions.
Additional committee reports
adopted included those on coop
eration with the American Law
