Once I uv Bill Morgan of Ore
go play a whole football jam
vita two hands In casta. I've sees
ereral baaketballers play crucial
games when both ankles were so
badly sprained they had to be
taped, ao tightly the owners of
them 'couldn't possibly get their
, keels to the floor. I know of a
man who walked fire miles to
doctor after a pitchf erk had bees
kicked througa his Adam's apple
br a mole. :
But for crasy courage I haren't
seen anything, to equal that dis
mayed by Joe Bonn Wednesday
Bight in taking as sound a thresh
leg as was ever administered in
a ring fight j Although the word
is one that probably grates on
your aesthetic conscious, in sports
parlance It Is the only , word that
nffMuatelv describes that tyne of
Friend Given Dynamite,

has had less than 10 fights
before Wednesday . sight, ana
jtll of those against run-of-the
mill punks,! was tossed to the
sharks. I'
Although ! Matchmaker John
Friend should in a measure be
chastized for matching a kid
like Bonn with a larrupln' vet
eran like Morris, Friend Is not
entirely to ; blame. Local fan
doin has been clamoring for a
better opponent for Bonn than
the bums he has been knocking
silly on armory cards. 1
To get someone like that.
Friend had I to step out of the
immediate neighborhood.
Which be did, sending to Seat
tie. I don't think even Friend
realised he was being sent a
bundle of black dynamite who
could probably give the top
notch heavies of the country a
battle. ' ' ,
Granite Jaw.
Those seven slabs of granite
we hear so much about each foot
ball season, they must be the
pame material as Bonn's jaw. The
darn fool kid took wallops that
actually knocked him clear off
the floor, no less than five times
yet they failed to daze him. Each
time he'd get up- his eyes would
be clear. $io less than four times
that turned him half: around, but
he recused to go aown.
Once in the second round and
again in the third he was hit
-with obviously low punches. Ref
eree Frisco Edwards admitted he
saw 'em, and so did most ring
aiders., Bonn, - however, merely
took them and kept boring in. Not
once did he even act as though
he'd been hit low.
But to this . observer it was
the effects of those below the belt
tlows that ultimately got Bonn.
Although a flicking left sent him
reeling as the fourth opened.
Bonn wasn't hit when he dropped
tu the floor the final time, clutch
ing at his middle. He had merely
" taken Ull the beating his physical
elf could stand, no matter if his
heart-and fortitude did demand
that he keep fighting. . -

The Gervals boy had a host
of ring friends in Salem before

this Tight racket. They siiouia

dimmed by his terrific beating

overmatched many more times
he'll probably lose that great

It was but a breeze in. the
Bearcat hoop haven last night,
the Willamette sever heinr
pressed at they tacked success
ive victory No. 3 to their 138-
39 record b out-hempiag the
Pacific Packard of Portland by
a 4a to 30 score.
Though the 'Cat cagers let
the opposition have the first
bucket, as Is seemingly their
habit, that pair of points scored
by Morrle Helser was the last
time the ex-collegians were ever
out in front. From the time
wiia cur Anton tucked in a
splashing one-hander from deep
side court, to add to Skopil's
tying basket, the Bearcats were
never headed. That was with
the game but three minutes old,
Anton High Mas
"Wild Bill," with five field
heaves in the first canto for 10
points, was high scorer, followed
closely by Eberly with nine
Egelhoff, Packard pot-shooter,
reamed four two-pointers to top
the Packard scorers.
Anton, Eberly, Kolb and Sko
pil, playing deliberately against
the Packard zone defense, built
up a 14-8 lead at the first-quarter
mark, and aided by Cather
wood's gifter, were away to the
fore at 26-15 by half time.
Shifting into high as the sec
ond half opened, Fravel whipped
through a one-hander, Kolb con
verted on Paterson's infraction
and then flicked in a two-hander
over the defense, Quesseth tossed
true from short in and Kolb let
fly another true aim to bring
the score up to 35-16 with five
minutes gone. With Oscar
Specht pocketing one from the
floor while Helser was tallying
once from charity lane on Gall-
he r a foul, the score at the
three-quarter mark was 37-17.
Game Gets Rough
Roughness marred the final
quarter, played lackadaisically in
comparison to the first three
heats. The 'Cats, with everyone
in suit getting a chance, lost
ground as Egelhoff, Willie and
Bud Jones and Helser hit hemp
to score 12 points while Eberly,
Fravel and Robertson were get
tine eight for Wllliamette.
The backboard work of Eber

ing durlne the first halt, both
defensively and offensively. "Eb

rebounds for buckets. Anton
played but about three seconds
of the final half, being ejected
via the foul route.
It was the last game tor the
Bearcats before they leave the
first of next week on a seven
game tour into eastern Oregon
and Washington.
