TV 6 I i r I St ... . I rw . I - V 1 Sparks By RON G EMM ELL "Where do they get this stuff about 'Willamette- dominating the Northwest conference?' That was the query recently throws down by Marry Collins, state softball chief and one of Salem's top all-around sport fans. Willamette 0, Pacific 0; Whit man 8, Willamette 7. . The 1939 Northwest confer-. eace football champion: - Pa cific, with three wins, no de-: feats and two ties To mimic Mr. Collins, where do they get this staff about Will amette dominating the Northwest conference? -: . Last Tear Pacific beat the Bearcats to grab a co-champion : ship. This year the Badgers held em scoreless and, with Whit man sneaking a win over the Cats frVanksgiving day, walKed off with tho title, ; , Willamette this year won bat three games in the conference. One of those "wins, over the-heretofore lowly looked upon College of Idaho, was by a one-touch down margin. Oatslde of the con ference Willamette didn t .win a ball gamei The 'Cats wound up the season with three wins. -tour losses ana two ties. A summary of the season shows Willamette "dominated" . College of Paget Sound and Linfield only. That's two-fifths of the conference. Mr. Collins was . timely with his question. Neighborly Act Possible, Chemawa's Indians can do 3H- Terton a nice favor. Jerry Gas- tineaa, should he want to be neighborly (and we think he does) can take, his warwhoop grid band into West Linn next Wednesday, whip Coach Brown's club, ' and thereby hand the Willamette Val ley loop championship to Silver ton. ;' The Chemawa-Wcst Linn fra cas finishes up the loop. Both Silverton and West Una are undefeated, both have twice been tied. SllTerton has fire wins. West Linn has four; A West Linn victory over . Che mawa means a co-champlonship between the Silver Foxes and .West Ilnnmen. A Chemawa vic tory automatically gives Silver ton the title. Regardless of the outcome of the Chemawa-West Linn tilt, Sll verton has nothing less than a co-championship. Congratulations to both the team and Coach Roy Goates are in order. Goates, : in his first season with the Foxes, 'did a remarkable job. Not a de feat for his clob in the Willam . ette Talley league, the oldest and generally one of the most closely played prep circuits in the state. and only one bad whipping out side of the league the 32-0 de feat from Salem In the team's first game. - ' Beavers Over-Bruins. . . ,. - ..- - - ' - Yes, we think Los Sttners Beavers will beat the Bruins of TJcla today and thereby grab . . tbeaaselves a cinch on at least ' a tie for second place in the 1030 conference race.

Nov. i.-iP) -Cloaked in the tradition of 47 years of iniense rivalry jiotoas color and ranging hopes, one of the football classics of the coun try will have its renewal at Palo Alto tomorrow in the clash be tween California and Stanford. From a championship view point, there Isn't much to be writ tea about the game. Stanford holds down last place In the coast conference race, yet to win a contest. California is a notch above, with one league win In six games.

It promises to be a battle of potent back- fields, with manpower likely to decide the issue and both teams amply equipped in that respect Two conference races will come to a close in the middle west.
