(ipdht npnniiD CJ By RON CJ GEMMELL PICKING THE BOXES er mind whose bones . But If Bob Lucas, Astorlan-Dudget sportster, has his way, the As torlaa will play Grant high -of Portland In Astoria Thanksgiv ing day aad to hell with the OSHSAA . . . . the short for OSHSAA is: Oregon State High School Athletic association..., and there is a growing number of boys aboat the state who can't stomach all that In one mouthful .... Mostly what they can't stomach, aiid Ideas' Indi gestion is the severest attack, is the fact that the OSHMAA has setjtselt. np as a dictator ial body for state rep athletic endeavors ...... Lucas would have Astoria play Grant high, including Grant high's ninth termers, as a sort of a test case for the high and mighty OSHSAA .... Mebbe Lucas has something- there . . . . A bit Gagged. CANT SWALLOW; I've tried, but it just won't go down . . . . Pass the H20. please .... What I've attempted to get down is this question: Why is it that the dic tatorial; daddies ot the OSHSAA are the principals instead of the coaches .... Oh, I know the - reason advanced .... it being that coaches are too apt to over emphasize athletics in their en thusiasm for championships, et cetera .... BUT. if high school coaches are Intelligent enough to be trusted with their coaching duties, AREN'T they Intelligent enough to be trusted with the well-being of their proteges! Another slug of Santlam, if you please . . . . ShapeEmup. WHADDA JOB: It's going to tax me something orfnl .... This business of getting "Ilut terbaU" Maple In shape for the coming Bearcat basketball sea son and "Frisco' Edwards in trim for his new arbitration du ties in the PCL, vU"the YMCA handball courts .... My task is to take 81. pounds and three ounces off Menton Maple's mid riff and the the same time straighten "Frisco's" fingers so folks'll be able to tell whether he's thumbing the ozone to de note a strikeout or is wagging a gay to first base on a walk . .. . . I'm in the jnarket for a meat cleaver and some wire stretchers .... Will accept bids, beginning at 'leventy-six o'clock tomorrow' . . . . ' KisselburgKs Kicks. PECULIAR PUNT: A kick in the pants is nothing more than a kick in the pants .... Bat the screwy form used .by Oregon State's Jim Kisselburgh in kicking a football is a literal boot to the breeches in itself .... A "lefty" kicker, Kisselburgh appears to take hold ot the ball at its most skyward portion, and then let it turn over in the air as he drops it towards his upswinging tobtsie. .... His stance before getting the ball is as Mghteningaas any pan .one Boris Karloff ever flashed at cinemaddicts .... But the lad gets 'em away, and while they don't break any distance records they scrape the celling at a height which makes it plumb simple for Coons,, Wendllck, Schultz, et al to ramble down under 'em .... Good Americans. OREGON LAUDED: lep, Oregon's Webfoots were given , credit for their appearance last Saturday in the Berkeley Bowl .... Not for playing football, but for correct observance of - the flag-raising ceremonies and accompanying, rendition of the national anthem .... The Ore gons came to strict attention, with helmets o'er their hearts, while the Bears gamboled about according to Jimmy Nicholson, sr., who not only took In the Oregon-Car game, but junior college Joust Friday aft and the St. Mary's-Santa Clara upset Sunday .... Oregon was get ting along okeh with the fairly amicable Bears, J. N. reports, until the public address system bellered out the fact that Wash ington was leading L'SC in He attle .... After that announce - meot, which churned a thereto fore lethargic 25,000 into a frenzy, Mr. Bear bore down ... Regal Record yet. NO REASON: Defeat by Eu- eene's Axmen last week is no rea son to relegate the Vikings to the smokehouse along with the rest of the hams .... Remember, if you will, that outside ot Butch-the-Boomer Nelson the Viking team ot this year was as green as Pat's tie .Vv'- Nelson was the only re 1 turning veteran of last year's co 1 claimant of the state title The forward wall has learned Dleaty thls'Beason, and learned plenty more In the Eugene game . . .'. In winning seven siraigm before being dumped by Eugene the Vikings did far better than "anyone thought tuey could possi- blv do . . . . There Is good reason to believe they'll whale Silverton Friday and Corvallis Tbanksgiv -ing day .... Which will give Hauk's crew nine wins to' one loss for the season, which -is is a bet ter record than any college club on the coast will be able to boast. Salem, Unbeaten Since Thursday, Girds for Foxes The Vikings of , Salem high, "undefeated" since last Thursday when Eugene's Axemen hacked them 12 to , yesterday began - work tor their date with Silver ton's Silver Foxea at Silverton Friday night. While Coach Hauk'a gridders are bent on atonement for the de feat suffered at the hands of En gene, it Is not expected they" hare any romp with a fast-developing Fox pack. Coach Cochran's eleven' has been defeated but twice in the WVl" league circuit once by Woodburn and once by West Linn. Prize Purses Will Be Large Current Season "Winding up in December Found Excellent Year By EARL HILLIGAN CHICAGO. Nov. 15. (P)- The money players of golf the pro fessionals looked back on a good season and ahead to 'a boom one today. Reports made at the opening of the 22nd annual meeting of the Professional Golfers association indicate that the 1939 season will be one of the best ever enjoyed by the pros, both from a standpoint of Interest in golf and the amount of prize money to be distributed. $182,500 in Purses When the current campaign winds up Dec. 31. professionals will have competed for $182,500 in purses during the 1938 sea son, an increase of $19,150 over 1937, according to the report of Jack Mackie, PGA secretary. In 1939 the pot of gold will aggre- g-' $200,000 in 40 tournaments, four more than the number in which some 800 PGA members competed this year. Fred Corcoran, whose retention as tournament bureau manager for another year was announced, said more than 500,000 persons attended the 36 PGA sponsored tournaments this season. During the year the PGA membership showed a slight increase, with 1, 739 pros now on the list. Secretary Tom Walsh said. Senior Made Annual One definite action was taken by the: delegates, representing the 28 sections in the national body. They voted to make the PGA sen ior championship, held as an ex periment last year, an annual event. Moving the business of selecting officers a day ahead of original schedule, the association re-elected George Jacobus of Ridgewood. N. J., president for a seventh con secutive term. Shaw 'Considered' For Bruin Mentor LOS ANGELES. Nov. 15-UPV-Bill Ackerman, University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles graduate manager, said today that Law rence (Buck) Shaw. Santa Clara football coach, is "being consid ered" for the position of head football coach. The UCLA graduate manager admitted he conferred with Shaw in San Francisco , recently, but would not. further amplify, his statement. It has been known for almost a year that UCLA will be in the market for a grid coach after this season since Bill Spaul- dlng is retiring to devote his en tire attention to the position of athletic director. The name ot Shaw, whose teams have been beaten only twice in three years at Santa Clara, has been mentioned frequently in con nection with the job. in recent weeks. N Bend Bears Bow. tfut to Tougher Team Than Most BEND, Nov. 15-(V-There will be no Thanksgiving day football game for Bend's high school elev en. Not that the boys wouldn't like to play. The doctors put the kibosh on this one. Talk of a game, developing after Bend held the powerful Medford club to a -6 tie last week, subsided when it was disclosed that one player had contracted scarlet fever, exposing the whole team.

It is probable both coaches will rely on lineups they have used throughout the season. If so, Coach Tommy Drynan's Parrlshers will line up with BnrenO - and Don Cutler at the wings, Ben nett and Cburtnier at tackles. Ba ker and Burrlght at guards, Miller at center, and a backtield quar tet of Mcarlane, Harry Cutler, Hot f ert fnd Purcell. Leslie's Lighter Coach Girod's Leslies, lighter in weight but just as willing, will probably start with Lappln and Whittemore at ends, Hathaway and Cox at tackles, Rund and Dunham at guards, Haag at cen ter and Applegate, VanLydegraf, Mason and Holt in the backtield. Leslie has a breakaway runner in little Hamman who may make it uncomfortable for Parrish if the right kind of a "spot" looms up in the ball game. Should Parrish concentrate on a defensive game only, and hold Leslie scoreless, the north-end juniors could walk off the field champions without having scored themselves: In other words, Par rish is 50 percentage points in front of Leslie in the Intramural league race, and a tie game will give Parrish the championship. Peterson Slated To Battle Negro Eight Round Main Is Set for VFW Fight Card Next "Wednesday Alex Waton, veteran colored clouter of Seattle will meet Bud dy Peterson In the eight-round main event of a 30-round VFW fight card billed for a week from tonight in the armory.

' Bears Favored BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 15 The odds that California beats Stanford in their annual "big game" here Saturday climbed to 3-1 today, but Gridiron Coach Leonard Allison didn't let the current wave of optimism keep the Bears from a stiff scrimmage "Big Game" Seats Go BERKELEY, Calif., NOV. 15 Harry Davis, football ticket man ager for the University of Call fornia, shuffled remaining paste boards for the game with Stan ford next Saturday and decided to increase the seating capacity of Memorial stadium. Out of 80,000 tickets printed for the game there were 4261 left in the various agencies Sacra mento, Stockton, Modesto, San Jose, Martinez, Richmond, Oak land, San Francisco and Berkeley.

To serve on this committee are II. B. Latham, Reber Allen and L. M. Larson. E. W. Danielson Monday night led a discussion on the difficul ties between the sportsmen and farmers.
