Q Stewart LH McKeel RH Shaffer F Game Time Coach "Nig" Borleske and his Whitman Missionaries are due to arrive in Salem at 10 o'clock this morning, ready for their 19th meeting with Willamette since 1920. -O (3P0RT tjj By RON pnnns I GEMMELL Co-championships of their re spective conferences are eyed by both Willamette's Bearcats and Salem high's Vikings as the two ;lubs finish their 1938 grid sea sons today. Willamette must beat a fired up Whitman team to gain a co championship of the Northwest conference with Pacific univer sity, the team that whacked the Qats consecutive victory string at 26. A tie won't do it. They must win. The Vikings must win from the Corvallls Spartans today in Cor vallia for a co-championship with Milwaukie, a team it defeated by the slender margin of 20-15. A tie won't do it. They must win Borleske Has Edge, 1 This Turkey day grid trot on Sweetland will brine; to a close the 24th consecutive season for the dean of Pacific coast college football roaches, Whit man's Nig Borleske. "Spec" Keene, Willamette's cagy mentor, will finish his -Jinx year, the 13th, as the lead er of the Bearcats. Although "Spec" himself gives the No. 13 no credit, or discredit for it the fact remains that his im pressive string of 20 consecu tive conference victories was snipped by Pacific in this 13th yr Borleske's 18-year record against Willamette gives " hlin 13 wins and 6 defeats for a .67 rating in the percentage column. Keene'a 12 - year record against Whitman gives him 7 wins and 5 losses for a .583 rating over the conference op ponent from Walla Walla. Disregard, the season's records of the two teams for today's game. They will avail you little. For, while Willamette's confer ence season has been much uore auspicious, this is a traditional tilt and the records are just so much bushwa, hay. sawdust and shush. From a poor start the Missions have come far. -They rose up on Armistice day jto smite down Colorado college, doing that without the help of their prize fullback, Jim Morrill. Today Morrill, the leather lug ger who last year scored six points against the 'Cats to cut short their long list of confer ence shutouts, is ready for duty. The Missionaries boast three backfield buddies in Morrill, Schneidmiiler and Hellsberg who can toss that apple with preel slon. In Raykovich and Sawyer they have a set of wingmen noted for their sticky fingers. They predict they are going to snatch a win from the Bearcats right ont of thyir. Seniors Change View. Until I beard Willamette's seniors tow they'd make today's game the "toughest they've ever played" daring the "Wreck Whitman' banquet Twesdiiy night, I was of the opinion the Bearcat cycle would continue Its downward slide that started with the Pacific debacle. Bat, after hearing Leighton Blake, George Sirnio, George Abbott, Francis Schmidt and Neil Shaffer tell, la qaiet, con vine bag tone, how they Intend to leave their marks on the Willamette-Whitman record books. Pre changed my mind. The Bearcats are dne to roll. They won't be missing those blocks today. They won't be submarined In that line like they were by Pacific It'll be a Willamette victory, with the score: WILLAMETTE 10, WHITMAN . . . The fact that the Portland papers have handed Milwaukie the No-Name league pennant on a silver platter.J principally to build up the Milwaukie-Jefferson game there today), should give the Vikings all the more incen tive to finish their season by soundly trouncing the , Spartans of Corvallls today. j Milwaukie, already finished in No-Name league play, has been defeated only by Salem. The Vi kings, ending np today, have been defeated only by Eugene. A vic tory over Corvallls will give Sa lem a tie with Milwaukie for the No-Name title, regardless of what Portland scribes have done to the league standings- Corvallls was, defeated by Mil waukie by some goshawful sco-e like 42-0, or such. Salem bested Milwaukie 20-19. Yet, Corvallls held Eugene to a 0-0 .tie -while - Graue ...... Hamby Miller Sawyer ...... Schneidmiiler Eaton Heilsber Morrill : 2 P.M. This afternoon's traditional bat- tie will conclude the 14th annual Northwest conference football race, with a win necessary for the Willamette Bearcats in order to assure them a co-championship with Pacific university. Clear Day Forecast A clear, brisk, football day is forecast, with Sweetland field in the best condition it has been since early season. With both teams boasting fast, elusive back fields, and both mentors indicat ing they will make use of! touted overhead attacks, today's game bids to be a wide-open affair. Not since 1931 has Whitman defeated the Bearcats, a six-year period in which Willamette has scored 169 points to 6 for the Missionaries. Bent on bringing to a halt that consecutive defeat string, Coach Borleske is bring ing a squad that has improved by leaps and bounds throughout the season. Bearcats Chagrined Chagrined by their defeats by Pacific, thus ending their long domination of the conference, the Bearcats are determined to make amends by sending the Mission aries back to Walla Walla nursing their seventh consecutive crush ing. With Jim Morrill, triple-threat fullback, back in shape for the first time since early season, and heartened by his team's victory over Colorado Armistice day. Coach Borleske believes his Mis sionaries capable of defeating the Bearcats. Today's game will bring to a close Coach "Spec" Keene's 13tb season as head of the Bearcats. Six of his team will be playing their last intercollegiate game. They are: Leighton Blake, cap tain: George Sirnio and Karl Kahle, tackles: Neil Shaffer, full back;; George Abbott, versatile wingman who Is being considered rpr little ail-American honors: and Francis Schmidt, another riery end. Kahle, who alone with Justin Weakley and Art Baird nave been named honorary can tains, will see the game from the bench because of an operation mai put mm out of action.

Seattle's Kid Watson and gain a well-earned draw. Watson, Seattle Negro, showed Peterson more and faster left hooks than he is liable to see for many a day. It was with this dev astating hook that put Peterson down at the bell in the first round. Peterson Ont Peterson was definitely out, and was saved only by the frantic work of his seconds. Not until the sixth round opened 'did the haze clear as he fought by instinct through the second, third, fourth and fifth rounds. Fishting from either a south paw or righthanded stance, the lithe Negro threw devastating left hooks which had Peterson's right eye nearly closed and blood spout ing from his nose in Xhe first and second rounds. Slowing down with the begin ning of thr third, Watson offered only the top of his kinky head and his back for Peterson to shoot at. This the Independence boy did, throwing 10 times as many punches from the third round on as did Watson. . Watson Content . Never badly hurt. Watson was content to let Peterson poke away at his pate and back, retaliating out seldom with winging hooks from his crouched position. In the Statesman book Peterson took third, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth rounds by wide mar gins, and got at least a draw in the fourth. Watson's two knock downs, the second coming 45 sec onds into the second stanza, evi dently gave him enough for a draw in the eyes of Referee Ed wards. The Peterson-Watson slugfest, and it was that from start to fin ish, was a fitting climax to the best card staged in the armory in at least two years. Bonn Kayoes Capwto Joe Bonn, Gervaia strong man, kayoed Larry Capnto of Seattle one minute and 19 seconds Into the third round, after having the Rose City Italian down for counts of nine once in the second and twice In the third. Caputo took nine counts on his knee, after being floored by a straight right high on the head, two minutes and 68 seconds into the second round, and went down hard after 50 seconds of the sec ond from a left to the jaw. Up mo mentarily, he was floored tor the second time with a right to ; the mid-section. As he came up the third time Bonn let him hi a left flush to the chin and he went down and out.

Leonard Picks Henry to Win Ex-Champ Says Armstrong Will Tire out Garcia in Early Rounds By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Nov. 23-(yP)-Ben-neh Leonard came in out of the rain today to the Harlem gym where Henry the Hammer Arm strong was going through his fi nal sparring session before his 15 round welterweight title bout with Ceferino Garcia Friday in Madi son Square Garden. "There," said Benneh, pointing n the Hammer's general direc tion, "is the winner ' You may remember Benneh is a fellow who was somewhat bet- tei than a green hand, himself, at tossing those fists. You might even recall he retired undefeated as lightweight champion. So his opin ion gave the "expert" a lead. Might Be Kayo 'Yep," Leonard explained, "Armstrong'll take the FillDino boy. He'll tire him out in the early rounds and then go on to win. In fact, he might even stop Garcia. You know, Cerefino cuts easilv around the face." Well, this was something- Here was one person qualified to talk who not only had no trouble nick ing the winner, but even called a knockout possibility. Leonard based his choice on the contentions that the terrific pressure Henry sets will wear Gar cia down within eight rounds, and that Ceferino needs a "lot of lee way" to throw those dvnamite- racked bolo punches and left hooks. All hands decided Armstrong was in the top shape of his career. He was fast and shifty and on his toes throughout the sparring ses sion and in two rounds of shadow poxmg. Garcia, as has been his custom all week, did no snarrine work today. His" handlers decided he was at the peak last Monday. Iowa Campus Sees Anderson Mentor IOWA CITY. Iowa.
