Eugene Outplays Salem,
Uses Own Tactics to
Hand First Defeat
Waller Goes 65 Yards to
First Score; Yardage v,
Figures Eloquent
By RON GEMMELL
The Vikings' undefeated bubble
burst sputteringly in their faces
last night on soggy Sweetland,
the Eugene Axemen cleaving it
cleanly through with a 12 to 6
win'. -
It was purely- a case of meet
ing a team that had a defense
to go with a good jtfense, some
thing the Vikings had theretofore
never faced.
Approximately 2500 braved the
chilliest night of the year to see
the Axemen outplay the Vikings
in every department of the game
in bringing to a halt the Salem
high victory string that had
reached IS over a two-year period.
The defeat not only put the Vi
kings out of the running for state
championship recognition, bat
shoved them into a "No-Name"
league tiewith Mllwaukle.
Eugene fans, some 600 strong,
stormed the west goal posts in
their enthusiasm following the
victory, but were met with un
expected resistance when husky
Willamette grldders put up a
solid front "stop" sign., The Will
amettes, who play Pacific here
today, evidently wanted a crack
at those uprights themselves.
Reverses Used for
Both Touchdowns
The Axemen stole Viking thun
der, as they used "Hooks" Rob
ertson, running his left end from
his right half position on reverses
from Fullback Shear,, to set up
both of their touchdowns t ... w
About the only consolation the
Vikings got out of the game was
the fact they scored first. Don
Waller whizzed 65 yards around
hi own right end on the second
play of the second quarter for the
touchdown about the only time
the Axemen ends were fooled by
the touted Salem reverses. Nel
son's pass to Waller on the con
version attempt was incomplete.
Eugene came back to score
near the end of the period, to
make it 6-6 at the half. The
touchdown parade started on the
Eugene 48-yard stripe, where
Paul' Johnson, alert Axeman end,
recovered "Boomer" Butch Nel
son's fumble. Robertson, Couglll
and Shear punched from there to
a .first down on the Viking 40,
and then Robertson sped 37 yards
over the Viking right end to the
Salem three-yard line, where he
was forced out by the combined
efforts of Waller and Nelson.
In two plays the. driving Ro
bertson was over, hurdling the
middle of the line in both. Bod-
ner's attempt from placement for
the conversion sailed wide to the
left.
Sustained Drive
Brings Victory
The Axemen started the drive
to their victory towndown late in
the third period, after Quarter
back Couglll had intercepted
NelBon's third-down pass on the
Eugene 46. Couglll, Peckham and
Robertson picked up a first down
to the Salem 44. Robertson re
versed over his own left end once
more, fumbled and recovered for
an eight-yard gain on the Salem
36. Couglll, on a sneak over left
tackle went to the 17 and a first
down.
When two plays at the line
gained but three yards, Robert
son once more took that reverse
over Salem right end, going 13
yards to the Viking one-yard line.
Cougill slipped through left tackle
for the touchdown with yards to
spare. Again Bodner's conversion
attempt from placement was
wide. .
: There is no consolation for the
Vikings in-the statistics, as they
point to an even, greater Eugene
victory than does the score. The
Axemen got a net scrimmage gain
of 184 yards to 133 for the Vik
ings, and completed three out of
five passes for a 40-yard gain. The
Vikings attempted four overhead
plays, completing none but hav
ing one Intercepted. The v first
downs were IS for the Axemen to
t hree for . the Vikings. -.
The Axemen ends, Mike Stew
ert and Paul Johnson, were much
too alert for the famed Viking re
serves. But twice during the ball
game did they get sucked out of
play, the once when Waller turned
In a 65-yard touchdown gallop
and again when he went .13 yards
midway of the final period. ,
Though there were seven fum
bles in the ball game, they didn't
play an Important role In the out
come: Salem fumbled thrice and
Eugene four times, with Salem re
covering four and Eugene three.
In each instance, however, the
fumbles were near mid-field and
the breaks were about a draw.
Complete game statistics and
lineups will be found on the sports

Snowflakes mingled with rain

, With heavier snowfalls reported
on the McKenzie pass and Wapini

BERLIN, Nov. 10. -UP) -The
greatest wave of anti-Jewish vio

power in 1933 swept nazi Ger
many today and Jews were threat
ened with new official measures
against them. .
Millions of dollars worth of
Jewish property was destroyed by
angry crowds. Jewish stores were
looted. Synagogues were burned,
dynamited or damaged in a dozen
cities.
Propaganda Minister Paul Jo
seph Goebbels, calling for a halt
in the demonstrations, declared
that "the final answer to Jewry
will be given in the form of laws
or decrees."
It was a nation-wide day of ven

Ernst Vom Rath, secretary of the
German embassy in Paris, who
was shot Monday by a 17-year-old
Jew, Herschel Grynszpan.
Bands of youths roved the
streets of Berlin and other cities

windows of Jewish shops. In
many places crowds which gath

the establishments and came out
with loot. Most of Berlin's 1,000

Post-War Era
Ended, Future
Yet Uncertain
"Beaten" Germany Is on
Road to new Empire,
Central Europe
Peace Fahric Collapses
With Allies Weaker,
Asia Map Altered
LONDON, Nov. 10 - &) - The
world enters a new cycle with the
twentieth anniversary of the arm
lstice tomorrow.
This anniversary ends the post
war era. The League of Nations
has lost its force as a peacemaker,
for the time being at least. Post
war treaties have been put aside
by direct action. France has fallen
from her position of dominance
on the European continent.
Twenty years ago tomorrow the
war which cost 33 nations $186,
000,060,000 and the lives of 10,
000,000 men ended with Ger
many the loser.
Today Germany, risen from de
feat, appears on the way toward
mastery of central and southeast
ern Europe. A gigantic world
armament race is on. Great Bri
tain and France, standing out of
Adolf Hitler's path, hope for
peace In our time" through
agreements with Hitler and Ben
ito Mussolini.
Japan is trying to digest half-
conquered China despite her
treaties with the United States,
Britain and other powers. The
United . States" itseir is concerned
with uniting the American re
publics against any threat of at
tack from the old world.
Thus in 20 ears the pest-war
peace fabric of collective secur
ity has collapsed and the map
of Europe and Asia "has been re
drawn.
Even Britain's plain-spoken
rebel tory, Winston Churchill,
finds it hard to believe this trans
formation is reality.
"Now the victors are vanquish
ed," he says, "and those who
threw down their arms in tne
field and sued for armistice are
striding on to world mastery.
Historians a thousand years
hence will still be baffled by the
mystery of our affairs."
Today, two decades alter tne
armistice, Germany holds slight
ly more territory in Europe than
she did before the war out nas
yet to regain her war-lost l.ooo,
000 square mile colonial empire.
Her economic penetration of
southeastern Europe goes for
ward rapidly, and her plans for
the future worry the world.

There were unconfirmed re

No one expected Turkey's new

Ataturk achieved for this na
tion, strategically situated be

Before Ataturk became grave

little discrimination from both
Britain and Germany, although
his early struggle for power was
tinged with bitter hatred for the

Prominent republicans, flushed
by this party's victories at the
polls, appeared last night to s
getting ready to serve a virtual
ultimatum on President Roosevelt
in some such words as these: .
"Veer to the right, or face- two.
years of stalemate in congress!"
They expressed confidence that,
combined with democrats critical
of many Roosevelt polities, they
could block the president if he in
sisted on following a "leftward"
course. .
On the other hand, prominent
new dealers were declaring that,
the election was not a repudiation
ot President Roosevelt's "liberal
policies." Secretary of the Inter
ior Ickes spoke of. the possibility
of Mr. Roosevelt's being drafted
for a third term drive In the in
terests of continuing the new deal.
Meanwhile, returns from Tues
day's. balloting showed that 81 re
publican votes had been added to
that party's roster in the house,
and eight In the senate. The hous
figure Is based on the assumption
that the last contest to remain in '
doubt was won by the Incumbent,
