npon? npnnnD tJ By RON LJ QKMMELL - Never was there anything or anybody more between the horned emperor of hades and the rolling deep than is Willamette 'university's-football program and' I'm not foolin'. Physically the Bear cats five years ago outgrew their northwest conference mates. But the set- of circumstances which caused the Methodist school to be located in Salem, where sports minded folks are as scarce as sol id H's in England, kept the draw ing power of Willamette football from growing proportionately. Hence there now is a Willamette football .team that has no more business in the Northwest confer ence than War Admiral has on the Indianapolis speedway, yet can't flop loose because of the rocky fi nancial road presented in the next 'grid strata up. Lopsided Loop. When I say Wljlamette tow ers above the Northwest confer ence like the Yankees over big leagues, ' I think there Is ade quate statistical evidence to lrove that statement. Not only has Willamette won every con ference .game since October 13, 1933, when the CPS loggers managed to pass over a final period touchdown to beat the 'Cats 6-0, bat the Methodist grid crews have in that time " scored a total of 613 points to a bare 31 for "25 conference op ponents. Boiling that slug down, Willamette has averaged - 24-512 points for each of those 23 games, to 1.24 points ave raged by the opposition. If that - isn't as one-sided as the Munich part yon ran -pass me the spinach! What's the Ansiver? One salvation for thefeore situ ation would be for the Loggers to. this Friday night on Sweetland. again rise up to sock the Willam ette squarely on the conference puss. Maybe that would be a hel luva climax for the "Spec" Keene appreciation day performances scheduled for Friday, but it would be one means of putting interest back into a conference which is at present, as far as Willamette Is soneerned, as dead as Dizzy Dean's flipper. Two other alter aatives are open: 1. For the bal ance of the conference to begin strengthening, toot sweet, or 2. For Willamette to leave the loop to its stagnation, shoot off a bat tery of high-powered publicity guns, and go as big time as is pos sible. Jn my mind the latter alter native would be dependent to a large extent on the acquisition of. the new stadium, which will be a prime consideration for Salem voters Nov. 8. The spectator-plea-ing accommodations of the new stadium, which is now proposed and is dependent only on a ma jority of Salem voters putting their x between 500" and "Yes" on the Nov. 8 ballot, should cause sharp upswing In attendance at local football games. WhaddaDishl Oregon State Beats Bears; Oregon Overcomes Trojan Jinx. Wouldn't those two headlines in Sunday morning papers put the Coast conference In a furor? No, not by any stretch of the Imagination can it happen, but. wouldn't It be fun? To have the two Oregon members of the circuit knock off the loop's two leaders on the same Saturday. Know what that would do? It would tie California, USC, Ore gon State and Oregon at the top of the standings with three wins and one loss each! It would put the conference in the most pickled position of its existence. It would be downright, gleeful ly glorious. Ob boy, it would be a .. palatable grid dish such as the state of Oregon has never tasted! r Friend's Fighters Ready. Salem's new boxing friend, John Friend, puts his first round-up of fist throwers on display tonight at the armory. By opening here on this night Friend has the boxing jump on the rest of the state for this season. If the chow is the success Friend's hard ..work merits, perhaps Salem can contin ue to hare the fistiana leap on the balance of the state. The new VFW matchmaker from Hubbard has a good layout of boys to back up his headline attraction of Bud dy Peterson vs. Jack Hibbard. Tony Kahut, who goes on against Montana Red In a four-round pre lim, was a standout among leather-throwers who worked here last season: Eddie Spina, the little Portland Italian who fights Chuck Camera of Seattle in the seml-fl-ral. Is the same Spina, except that he's older and more experienced, who won the amateur feather and bantam crowns of the northwest while boxing for Multnomah club; and Joe Bonn, who steps with Leo Wondra, is the husky Gervals youth who last winter won three fights on one card. f Listfit Bear line To Face Beavers BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. - 25- (VUniversity of California will throw a light line against Oregon clash In the Coast conference Stats college when the teams clash here Saturday. .The Golden Bear line will aver age 179 pounds from ed to end, which Is about the average for prep school team. - The experts figure the light Bear line will outplay Oregon State's forwards, who will aver age 204 pounds.

Thirty rounds of boxing, headlined by an 8-round main event between youthful Buddy Peterson of Independence and "Logger" Jack Hibbard of Klamath Falls, are billed by John Friend, new matchmaker for the local veterans of foreign scraps, to begin at 8:30 tonight at the armory. Pushed in importance on the card by the i Spina-Carnera semi wind up scrap, the Peterson-HIb-bard flurry is in the nature of the young comer versus the tried veteran. Peterson who caught the fancy of Portland fistiana last winter, j is though by many to be on his way up the middle weight fight ladder. Hibbard. who has fought suck eminent "biggies" as Champion Al Hos tak and ex-C h a m p Freddie Steele, is the first top flight middleweight tosser Peterson has ever met. Spina Heavy Choice Packing the best punch in the lighter divisions, Eddie Spi na, the game little Portland Ital ian, will rule heavy favorite over the Seattle boy. Chuck Camera, in the semi-windup. Camera comes out with the recommenda tions of Jack Connors, Tacoma man who i has handled such fighters as ! Freddie Steele and KO Eddie Roberts. He's a rug ged, boxer i type who has been to the post better than 100 times, winning better than 70 per cent. , One boy- fighting in the pre lims tonight is developing so fast Friend j Is hard . put to find a good enough opponent for him. Tony Kahut, the Woodburn youngster with the lethal wallop that won him four fights en cards here last winter, goes in tonight against Montana Red, Independence. Trains With Bonn Kahut has been training with Joe Bonn , the Gervais little giant who once last winter slammed his way to wins over three fighters on one card, and despite Bonn's 25 pounds advan tage in weight Kahut has been handing the big boy all he could handle. j ; Kid Weston, the 138-pounder who faces Joe O'Hara of Siletz, is a former Boise, Idaho, scrap per now making his home in Salem. According to Match maker Friend, Weston is a tal ented tosser of the padded mitts who is expected to go far. The 145-pound i championship of Independence will be at stake when Herman Halter and Bobby Franklin square off in the curtain-raiser. Both boys hail from Independence, where they have been working out daily for their first appearao.ee in the Salem ring. I Refereeing the fights,; Is Leo "Frisco" Edwards, veteran offi cial who has no qualms about tossing out pugs who enter the ring just for a ride. "They've got to fight," is Frisco's motto.

' . Latest strike by the Ol' Man was made at Keene's star right halfback, Justin Weakley. Weak ley, suffered the fracture of three vertebrae, necessitating use of a cast. Weakley's loss puts the half back job squarely on the shoul ders of Larry McKeel, freshman from Oregon City. ' Ends Lacking With Baird out for the season with a broken leg, Abbott probab ly out for 10 days with a twist ed shoulder and Francis Schmidt not able to see much service, though named to captain the 'Cats this week, Keene is sorely handi capped for ends. Johnny Kolb and "Horse" Lonergan are the only physically whole wingmen left on the squad. Keene Worried To put it mildly, the veteran Bearcat mentor is greatly., wor ried as he prepares his squad for their homecoming engagement. While Keene would like to cli max appreciation day festivities with his 12th straight homecom ing victory, the devastating swath injuries have cut into his ranks places his chances of so doing on precarious footing. Today the businessmen's sec tion of the appreciation day com mittee, headed by Cliff Parker, will invade all downtown business houses to sell "Spec" Keene ap preciation day tags. Thursday a sophomore girls' society. Tacks, will canvas the downtown area. Businessmen who buy today are warned to wear their tags throughout the week, lest they be solicited again.

But Achiu lost one fall to the Chief,, via a Boston crab, before he discovered a hold the Eagle couldn't break with his school ma'am feet. -Successful with his first application of the surfboard, Achiu set out immediately to wan gle the redman into it again for the third and deciding fall. Piluso Victor Ernie Piluso, despite the added threat of street clothed Pat O 'Dowdy parading the ringside in moral support of his adopted henchman, tossed Sammy Evans In the first and third falls of their match. Piluso took the first with a Boston crab and the second with a flying tackle through the ropes and a body press. In the opener Jose Rodriquez mopped up on "Dish-Face" Pow ers in two straight, taking the first with a Boston crab and the second with an airplane spin.

Barney has had somewhat more than a nodding acquaint ance with both principals of the approaching Madison Square Garden affair. His head nodded vigorously and with great fre quency the night he lost his welterweight crown to Hurricane Henry last spring. Previously, he had met and defeated - Garcia three times, experiencing such difficulty in the third encounter that some believe he was soft ened up for the Armstrong match. Gives Garcia Chance "I've always favored a punch er." Barney said today, taking time out from inventory of the stock . in his Chicago Jewelry store. "For that reason I give Garcia a very good chance to win within five or six rounds. One thing I'm certain of, and that is both boys have enough stuff to worry each other." Woodburn Second Team Is Winner WOODBURN The Woodburn high school second team trounced the Silverton seconds 20-0 at Sil verton Monday afternoon. The Bulldogs jumped into the lead when, on the first play after they gained possession of the pigskin in the opening period. Lester Nel son smashed through the center of the line and ran through the en tire Silverton team for CO yards and a touchdown. Coach Cone believes he has found a capable fullback in Nel son, who' is better known as a pole vaulter than a gridiron man, and may start him in Friday's game against West Linn, shifting Halter to halfback where he can make better use of. his shifty running and deadly passing. - T.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-ip)-The second weekly Associated Press ranking poll, made up from the ballots of 100 sports writers, leaves not the slightest doubt that the outstanding college football game in the country this Saturday will be the meet ing at Pittsburgh of Jack Suth erland's all-conquering Panthers and Fordhams unbeaten Rams. Pitt, for the second week, leads in the voting with 90 of the 100 nominations for first "Place and 989 points out of a possible 1,000. Fordham. on the strength -Of its impressive route of Oregon, drew one of the ten remaining first-place ballots and enough additional support to supplant Duke as No. 9 la national ranking with 370 points. PUt Vote Overwhelming . The vote for Pitt was so over whelming that, barring accidents and a Fordham victory, it looks like the Panthers against the field for 'the rest of the season. Pitt's point total was 30S high er than that of Minnesota, which clung to second place by a margin of 61 points ever Cali fornia. The biggest gain was made by Texas Christian, which kept its slate clean in shutting out Mar quette and thereby advanced from seventh to fourth. Santa . u.vt7a uft, uvia sum iu fifth. Dartmouth and Notre uame, on tbe other hand, feH two places each to sixth and seventh after hard-won decisions over Harvard and Carnegie Tech.
