When X took a look at that
wide-spread, box defense the Ore
gon backfield was using Saturday
against Washington, I held my
breath. Then I got to reminiscing
a bit. Particularly, my reminiscent
ramblings could find no Instance
this year wherein the Oregons had
been rulnerable jug a 1 n a t spot
passes across 'the middle, where
the big hole loomed Saturday! In
the box defense. No, theretofore
it had been flips tato the fiat, or
long casts backof the safety that
'had wreaked bavoc with the W'eb
s foots. I began to breathe easier,
'and as the game enfolded there in
Multnomah stadium, with the
Duck backs not -only startling
everyone by knocking down Wash
ington aerials but actually inter
cepting them the defensive for
mation that at first; scared me be
gan to show Its worth. .
Didnt Try Gap. -' .
1 1 1 1 1 1 shudder, however, ,
when I think of what might
hare happened haHbe Huskies
been eagy enough to use a few
flips down the middle. They did
try one, late In the game, but
it was a short' pitch over the
center that was duck soup for
Cadenassa, the Oregon renter
who was as much of a bugbear
to the Huskies as was Center
Mncha to the Oregons while, he
was la there. Cadenassa picked
it off, and the Hu.sk ies at
tempted no more into that big
gap in the Oregon box defense.
Nicholson Sole Hero.
There was only one hero in
that Webfoot upset of the Husky.
Admittedly, the whole Oregon
team played good ball. But it
was a diminutive senior, who for
two years was kept glued to the
bench, principally because he was
supposedly unable to punt, pass
or run three things generally ex
pected of a triple-threat halfback,
who was the hero. Saturday this
young fellow, Salem's Jimmy
Nicholson, shot a surprise pass
for some 30 yards gain, caught
one himself for 18, whipped
around' the ends for 10-yard
hunks, and got off 'a couple of
45-yard ' punts when punts were
most needed. He sparked the
whble Oregon offensive, and cul
minated his ''spark-plugging by
booting a perfect goal from place
ment for the only points scored
In the ball game. A fair after
noon's work for a guy who sup
posedly couldn't run. pass or punt.
Husky Punts Aid Huskies.
Offensively the Huskies were
a disappointment in all but one
department. They could kirk.
And if it hadn't been for those
amazing spirals from, the good
right toes of Jimmy Johnson
and Dean McAdams, Oregon
would surely have scored at
least one touchdown to go with
Nicholson's field goal. Those
lads can really thump the sphe
roid. Unquestionably, it was
their fine panting that saved
Washington from a much worst
beating Saturday. That, and
Rudy Mocha's line-backing abil
ity in the first half, before he
was injured and taken from the
game.'
Rest. Advantage.'
Jimmy 'Nicholson will be play
ing his last ball game next Satur
day, and what a ball game that
should be. Oregon's win over
Washington should hoist the at
tendance at the Oregon-Oregon
State game about 10,000. For, on
paper at least, the two teams will
now go against each other com
paratively about even. Oregon
State will have the advantage, if
it Is - an advantage of a week's
rest. This late in the season, when
injuries begin to tell, I don't see
how it can be called anything
else but an advantage. In that
line, I think the two days rest
Oliver gave the Webfoots prior
to the Washington game was the
making of them. They regained J
some of mat lire that was evident
against Ucla at early season. In
fact, they gained so much fire
they completely upset our prog
nostication dope, along with
everyone else's. Oregon's win, plus
Stanford's defeat when the In
dians really should have walloped
California as we predicted, left us
with 49 called right in 73 predic
tions tor the season, for a measley
.171 average. We did better at
home than the week previously,
calling the Vikings and Parrish
to win, which they very kindly
did.

Rose Bowl Talk
Troy
or Bears
Is big Puzzle
Conference Schools Pick
Bowl Team on Monday ;
Ballot Decides
PASADENA. Calif., Nov. 21.-(jT-The
west's unofficial Rose
Bowl pickers, with only a week
left to worry, had Worked them
selves into a high fever today over
whether California or Southern
California should be awarded the
honor.
The ten Pacific Coast confer
ence Bchools step in to make the
official selection next Monday but
there is sure to be a loud out
cry from the losing school's fol
lowers, no matter which way the
ballots fall.
Sell Out Seen
This will in no wise prevent the
bowl from being sold out come
January 2, as has been demon
strated for several seasons.
California, j the west's success
ful candidate last January 1, has
completed its season with one de
feat at the hands of Southern
California.
The Trojans have lost one con
ference gam e to Washington
whom the Golden Bears and many
other members of the circuit de
feated but took an early season
pasting from 'Bam. If USC wins
from University of California at
Los Angeles Thursday, as most
Trojan followers expect they will,
that will leave the contenders just
where they are now deadlocked
for the conference title.
Up to Ballot
To state the case baldly, that
leaves the matrer up to the ballot
with the best politician-Institution
winning.
And to use the popular political
phrase, the west's supporters can
"point with pride" or "view with
alarm" the coming intersectional
classic, depending on whom the
western selection eventually in
vites. The unofficial pickers, who
would like to see the best team
in the country Invited (but have
not been consulted in this matter
on several occasions), are naming
Texas Christian, Duke-and Ten
nessee most prominently since all
are undefeated and untied.
Texas for West?
One disappointed western fan,
who like many others is convinced
neither California or Southern
California has a great football
team, has suggested that Texas
Christian be selected as the west
ern representative.
And It is surprising what pop
ular support could be placed back
of that idea, despite the fact that
lo these many years the Rose
Bowl game has been (he exclusive
property of the Pacific Coast con
ference. 2000 Americans
Spanish War Toll
BARCELONA, Nov. 21-;P)-Re-liable
sources estimated today
that 2000 Americans had been
killed fighting for the govern
ment In the Spanish civil war.
Estimates of the number of
Americans who entered govern
ment Spain from about December,
1936, until last spring varied
from 3000 to 6500.
Between 650 and 750 Ameri
cans still are enlisted. American
authorities already have checked
400 for demobilisation and repa
triation and front 200 to 300 more
are expected to he listed this week.
Before demobilisation at their
camps, the men then must he
checked by members of a League
of Nations commission and the
actual date for their going home
set by Spanish authorities.
Packs for Short Stanford Gain
Undefeated Texas Christian Silent
As Rumors Run Wild in Southwest
FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 21. (AP)You could get
all the bowl talk you wanted tonight in the southwest for a
slick nickel, but all worth any more than that was a concise
reiteration, from Texas Christian athletic authorities they
have not committed themselves. , ,
"Reports we will play in the Cotton' bowl." said Howard
urubbs, director or athletics, "are1
pure fiction." He was commenting
on a fresh rumor the Horned
Frogs favored an invitation to the
annual classic in the southwest.
The Frogs, undefeated and un
tied thus far in a season In which
they have not been forced, yet, to
turn on the power to defeat any
one of nine fair-to-strong oppon
ents, are not ready to talk about
any bowl until they knock off
their next opponent. Here and
there you will find people who feel
Southern Methodist has a chance
to do some knocking over of their
own at Dallas Saturday afternoon
when they meet the Frogs in the
latter's last game of the regular
season.
Elliott Roosevelt, son of the
president, came into the Cotton
bowl picture unofficially today
with a proposal, quickly accepted
by the game's sponsors, to invite
his father to what is now suggest
ed as a double-barrel game, on
Saturday, Dec. 31, and the other
Monday, Jan. 2.
Expert Would End
Extra Point Rule
Mundorff Suggests Cains
in Yardage Be Given
Recognition
ATLANTA. Nov. 21-(tf)-Long a
student of football rules, Roy
Mundorff of Georgia Tech's coach
ing staff suggested today elimin
ation of the try for point after
touchdown and the placing of a
premium on "ability to advance
the ball."
Of a plan that might help elim
inate the games and many one-
point victories for out-played
teams, Mundorff expressed belief
award of an extra point for the
most first downs would not meet
the crying need. '
"Let us devise something," said
Mundorff, "that will make the
game more interesting. Eliminate
the try for point after touchdowns
and place a premium on advancing
the ball.
"Suppose we have a fifth offi
cial (I'll get the Bronx cheer for
this) who shall keep an exact rec
ord of the net yardage gained.
Then, If at the end of the game,
the score is a tie, consider the net
yardage gained by each team.
Now, if the difference is less than
SO yards, or some set constant,
then a tie shall be declared. If
the difference is greater, then
award one point to the team that
gained the greater ground."

Missions Gun
For Bearcats
Whitman Hopes to Knock
Willamette From top
of Conference
WALLA WALLA. Nov. 21
Whitman takes its final practice
licks today before resting prior
to Thursday's big game with Wil
lamette at Salem. The Mission
aries, out of the Northwest con
ference title race, will be gun
ning for the Bearcats who, with
Pacific, sit on top of the heap.
Willamette knocked off the Mis
sionaries 20 to 8 last year.
Ng Borleske's backfield came
in for plenty of individual atten
tion Saturday. With fullback Jim
Morrill back in harness, the Whit
man mentor had his first quar
tet of Morrill at fullback, Karl
Schneidmiller, quarter, and Hal
Heilsberg and Wayne Eaton,
halves. Jim Coszens, sophomore
lightweight, and Bud Long, husky
triple threater, were working-behind
the first halfback duo.
Schneidmiller Kicks
It looks as if Whitman will rely
on Schneidmiller for the kicking,
with Morrill spelling him. The
Bearcats will see plenty of passes
from Heilsberg. Schneidmiller,
Eaton, and Morrill. All four of the
starting secondary can heave the
pigskin with unusual accuracy.
Whitman's ends, Gordle Sawyer
and Phil Raykovich, don't stack
up with last year's star pair of
Justin Comeaux and Scotty Cum
mins, but the youngsters are only
sophomores. Sawyer, brother of
last year's captain, Ellsworth Saw
yer, made his letter as a frosh
In 1937. Raykovich, number one
pass snatcher, has been improv
ing with every contest
Guards, Tackles Good
Borleske is least worried over
his guard berths and tackle spots.
Heading the list is Captain Dan
Gray, all-conference tackle since
his sophomore year. Borleske's
line also includes big Wes Price,
200-pound Junior from Longview,
who has been sharing honors with
Gray all season. Jim Hambr and
Don Miller, both 200-pound let
termen, are billed to start. The
center position will be taken care
of by either Phil Grane or Al
Aschonbrenner, defensive artists
who help Heilsberg back up the
front wall.

Safety Motoring
School to Open
Carburetors, clutches and cau
tion in driving will all be on the
bill of fare for registrants in the
safe-driving school which will
open in Salem at 9 a. m. Saturday,
under the auspices of Secretary of
State Earl Snell.
The first class will be held in
the hearing room In the basement
of the new capltol building, but
before the class period ends the
students will be asked to take
their cars to the instruction field
at the Smith street entrance to
the state fairgrounds for an in
itial practice session.
High school students and adults
will meet jointly for Saturday's
class, but on each of six succeed
ing Saturdays they will meet at
separate hours in the morning.
Since registrants must furnish
their own cars, it will be neces
sary in most cases for parents or
friends e accompany them to do
the driving on city streets.
The school will teach all the
fundamentals of driving, includ
ing starting, stopping, shifting
gears, backing, parallel parking;
ascending and descending hills
and behavior at, intersections. The
students will actually "learn by
doing" at the wheels of their
cars, and in many cases will be
ready to take a test for a driver's
license at the end of the seven
week course. "

Cervais Boy in Semi Spot
on Friend's Wednesday
Card at Armory
Joe Bonn, rugged 170-pound
walloper from Gervais, gets the
semi-final spot on Matchmaker
John Friend's fistic show at the
armory Wednesday night, step
ping in against rugged 165-pound
Larry Caputo, Portland Italian. .
Now in top shape, as he demon-5
strated twef weeks ago in stiffen
ing Tommy Orin In three heats.
Bonn is bent on ascending the
fistio ladder as swiftly as possible.
Bonn Ambidextrous
Short, compactly constructed,
Bonn tosses equally well with
either hand. An exceptionally
short reach makes It necessary
for him to be the aggressor all
the way, boring In close to get
in his licks. Bonn has a terrific
punch loaded In either hand, as
is evidenced by his record. When
he hits they go down. His main
difficulty Is getting in close
enough to connect.
Another boy who caught on
with Salem rlngsiders two weeks
ago, Amity's Johnny Woods, this
week gets a much tougher oppo
nent In Jack Curley of Portland:
Woods, a good-looking youngster
with a lot of ring style, has a
manner- of holding himse,lf that
brings the fans to his side of the
argument. Woods and Curley go
at it In one of four four-round
prelims.
Peterson In Main Go
In the main event Buddy Peter
son faces the best boy he has
been up against this year jn Kid
Watson; Los . Angeles negro cur
rently under the management of
Gust West of Seattle. Peterson,
who Is working out at Vancouver
barracks, where sparring mates
are plentiful, Is generally ac
claimed the best middleweight
prospect in the northwest.

Elliott and Wagner Hope
to Install Respect
in Villains
HarryN Elliott, the rasslin ref.
and George Wagner, middleweight
champ, hare allied themselves
with but a single purpose!
The Elliott-Wagner team Is bent
on teaching the unholy combine,
of Bull Venable and Vern Clark a
bit of mat manners tonight in the
armory., ' '
Having, since their Initial ap
pearance a month ago, shown no
respect for rasslin ritual, Venable
and Clark have been constant
headaches to Elliott in his role of
referee.
They're Friendless Pair
Wagner, maltreated by Venable
last week, also professed anvthint
but love for the tactics employed
oy these newcomers.
Two preliminaries, both of
headline calibre, have been signed.

In a 45-minute tangle.
Elton Owen will open the show
against Pat O'Dowdy, the most
vicious-visaged villain on the lo
cal circuit. The armory doors
open at 7:30. and the bouts go on
at 8:30. Walt Achlu, clever Chi
nese, will take over Elliott's ar
bitration duties In all three bouts.

aeason'a last scrintmagj
With reports from Walla Wal

ThuTsday'a "big gama ' would
be strictly an aeriii dutl.
Willamette went trrcugh ev
ery tossing play in its lengthy
repertoire yesterday; then staged
another bitterly-contestoJ inter
squad scrimmsge.
"They're scrapp.ng so hard
for starting positions ik.w that
i'.'s almost. impossible fi either
squad to gain much yardage,
but I expect the boys to put on
a real show against Whitman,"
Coach "Spec" Kne aald fol
