A lot -ef lads, in Salem proper
and the Willamette valley, are
going to miss "Gi," for "Gus"
baa beea artreopin with 'em for
10 years, an and off bow, and
"Gui" nas "been a companion,
leader and example for 'em, and
the fellow who takes "Gas "
place, no matter how good be
la, 1 going o bare a bard row
to hoe, as tee farmer once said.
Dont reckon It's necessary
to relate the reat of "Gas'"
name, for practically every one
known Cus" ia the fellow who
does thing in a nice, big way
for boys aronnd the TMCA. For
the parpoee of the records,
maybe we'd better get bis
whole name down, it being
Marion R. Gis Moore, who
ha recently accepted a posi
tioa with the Lonx Beach,
Calif., TMCA ftlmilar to the one
he has heM with the Salem Y
aineo 1037.
"Gns" began doing things for
kids through the T back in 1930,
while still a student at Willam
ette. After a year's stady at
SJringfielrf, be became physical
director la 1335. and his inter
est In providing wholesome recre
ation and sports for youngsters
Intensified. "Gus" got so good
at doing things for boys that in
1938 he was made boys' director,
and he got o good at that as to
be recognized as the best at it
In the northwest, and Long
Beach reached out and took him.
In two weeks "Gns," who has
done so Dinch for Salem and
Willamette valley beys through
his untiring efforts to promote
aoftball, swimming, Hl-Y dobs,
boys camps, etc., will be head
ing south to his new job. Long
after he's gone, we'll betcha,
klds'll come boomin' in the T
acreechln' "where's 'Gus'?,"
and will be a-missin' the guy
bo end. And "Gus," who'll be
answering similar yelps from
California kids, will have his
thanks for a Job extra well
done.
Sorry for Troy?
Don't go feeling sorry for the
Trojans of 1940, wholl be minus
the services of Regulars Fisk,
Caspar, Hoffman, Lansdell, Har
ry Smith, Stoeker and Winslow
and Irregulars P. Ambrose
Schlndler, Doyle Nave, Roy Engle.
Glen Galvin, Joe Shell and John
Thomassin all of whom were
bandy men to have around, as
Tennessee right well found out.
No, don't go feeling sorry for
Headman Howard Harding Jones
and feeling good for Mr. Jimmy
Phelan In particular and Messrs.
Lpn Stiner, Tex Oliver, Babe Hol
li'ngbery. Tiny Thornhill's suc
cessor, and Babe Horell in gen
eral. For CSC, despite the inroads
made by Sir Sheepskin, will,
have enough fellows to form a
football team. There will be on
hand such fellows, and yon may
have beard of them, as Full
backs Jack Banta and Bob
Peoples, Center Dempsey, Half
back Robertson, Guard Sohn
and Fnds Antelope Al Krueger
and John Stonebreaker, pins a
quarterback by the name of
fllckey Anderson, whom yon
may remember as quite some
shocks as a sprinter, plus a
couple of other reserve teams,
pins a freshman squad consid
ered one of the best Troy ever
liad, pins the nsual galaxy of
transfers who are rated the
best in the Junior college field.
Nope, we wouldn't advise the
loss of any tears over the Trojan
Situation for 1940. The Jones'
boys may not win their third
consecutive Rose Bowl game, but,
then again, they might. In fact.
It'll be a difficult task for the
Huskies, Beavers, Bears, Indians,
Ducks and Bruins to keep 'em
out of that Pasadena affair that
- gives 'em $100,000 each time
they're "in" with which to go
,out and get more talent to go
"in" again. But, maybe, Czar Ath
erton will stop that.
If Ed Atherton doesn't stop
it, or if Troy doesnH stop it'
by withdrawing from the con
ference, It looks very much to
this corner like the conference
would have to stop it by de
claring a division of the Rose
Bowl spoils among all members
of Ahe conference a la the world
series tots.
Wagner Record Good.
This young giant. Keller Wag
ner, the Salem Elks heavyweight
wTio Is finally going to get a
fight, has a better local record
than we thought he had . . .
Fighting around the northwest
last year, nnder Salem CTO col
ors, Wagner whipped 17 of 19
customers, all by kayos, and lost
only two . . . He was knocked out
" once,, by Bill Brltton, then the
Pacific . coast AATJ champ, and
was declsioned once by Larsen of
'Orfegon State, whom he later
knocked out . . . Friday night he
goes in against Marvin Splawn of
Multnomah club, and tbe Elks
say they've made dead certain
Mr. Splawn will be on hand.
The lads hereabouts figure
Sammy Shoolderblade is the
second beat amateur light
weight in tbe United States . . .
Sammy has repeatedly given
'' Tommy Moyer, who for the sec
ond straight year has copped
the Pacific coast Golden Gloves
- championship and who whipped
the defending national tltltst
in so doing, his toughest bat
ties . . . They figure It's Just
Sammy's tough lack that Moyer
M OB tbe Pacific coast, else
Sammy would be coast champ.
And Moyer, who is so good
that a certain fight promoter
named Nate Druxman, who pro
moted both Freddie Steele and
Al Hoatak, la reported as ready
to take him nnder control at any
time, will be fighting his last
coast battle here Friday bight . . .
The exceedingly clever Portland
boxer Is going east soon, and
you're destined to hear about htm
in professional circles before
; many more moons-. . One rea
son, perhaps, why Moyer- hasn't
turned professional before this Is
that he Isn't exactly dough-needy.
Allen Metzler
Invader's Aee
Salem Team Girds for No.
1 Home Game of '
No Name Loop
Messrs. Sebern, McKee, Satter,
Barnlck and Henery, front pha
lanx cf Salem high's court "storm
troopers," -get the go ahead sig
nal from Hoop Boss Hauk at 8
o'clock tonight in the Viking villa,
with McMlnnville's Grizzlies pro
viding the opposition in the num
oer one No-Name league home
clash.
Preceding the ace putsch of the
night will -be a 8:45 encounter be
tween Garnie Cranor's Salem Jay
rees and the McMinnviUe second
team.
Exactly what Coach Blaine
Johnson has to send against the
floor-fanning local preppers isn't
known, but it Is known he has one
piece of finely mechanized court
machinery in Allen Metzler, a
guard who last season was named
the outstanding performer in the
district 11 tournament, and a six-foot-two
plvoter in John Frazier
who has the ability and experience
to give Salem's Rnss Satter a busy
night.
The Grizzlies last week lost to
the tall, efficient Tillamook club
by one point only, 27-26, on the
Cheesemakers' own court, and
when the 'Mooks are kept that
well in hand on their own boards
it is considered something of a
doing.
Two league wins have been
turned in by the Vikings, over
Albany and Oregon City, and
should they be able to turn back
the McMinnviUe threat will be
well on their way to accomplish
ing something no Salem team has
done since the loop's origination
In 1937. win undisputed claim
to the circuit championship.
Coach Hauk intimated he ex
pected to stirt with his regular
five, which pairs Scottie Sebern
and Bob McKee up front, fire
brand Jim Henery and Don Bar
nick in the back court and Russ
Satter in the hole.
Fighting Angels
Set for Bearcats
Macmen to Try for First
Win on Own Floor
Over WU Five
MT. ANGEL The fighting An
gels will have to live up to their
title Thursday night when they
tackle the Willamette Bearcats on
the Salem court. The Macinea
have yet to beat Willamette on
the Mt. Angel floor but have al
ways been lucky in the past when
the two tangled on the Willamette
court.
The Angels rut short their
Christmas vacation to get in some
practice in preparation for the
game. Coach Marx has changed
the style in his team's offense
since the return to practice. The
defense remains the same.
Among the squad which will
see action Thursday night are
two Salem men: Albert Alley, a
sophomore who got his numerals
from ML Angel college last year
and who formerly starred as a
high school player for Sacred
Heart, and John Wiesner, who
has played for ML Angel for sev
eral years.
The probable starting lineup
will be Pettyjohn at center, Gro
gan and O'Halloran guards, and
11m Nolan and Alley forwards.
Grogan, though new to the club,
his been a sensation in the pre
Christmas games.
Among the substitutes is Tom
Plennett, star of last year's Prep
sqaad. Other subs include J.
Wiesner, S. Staynor, J. Thomas
and W. Smith,
As a preliminary to this game
the Preps, who have won seven
out of eight games played from
some of the stiffest competition
In the valley, will meet the Wil
lamette Frosh club. Although the
Preps are away out of their field
In playing the Frosh, they still
hope to make a good showing.
The Preps laid low Sacred
Heart of Salem, the strongest
club In the Marion county B
league, last Sunday, 4 4-13.

merly was with Benin gham In the

that he lacks the old lay-em-low

Slam-Bang old Zeke Bonura, After
Cinderella Role, Stands up to Say
Bluntly That "I Won't Take no Cut"
By MORTIMER KREEGER
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9. (AP) The boys in the
bleachers will love this slam, bang, happy old Zeke Bonura
being described on the society pages as dressed in a "mantle
of American beauty velvet and royal blue, embroidered with
rhinestones."
That's a fact. Rollicking, 210-pound Zeke was king for a
night and wowed his subjects In a
"Roman wreath of rhinestones
and carried a sceptre topped by a
small wreath of rhinestones," to
quote the rhinestone-conscious so
ciety writer.
Zeke himself, with unaccus
tomed humility, didn't want to
talk much about it today but let
out a familiar roar when he heard
the New York Giants wanted him
to take a pay cut for 1940 first
basing chores.
"I won't take no cut," he as
serted bluntly while opening his
morning mail after his Cinderella
Pete Belcastro
Maintains Title
Wild Klamath Falls Biggie
Beats Piluso as Latter
Knocks Self out
Pete Belcastro, the Klamath
Falls biggie, successfully defend
ed his Pacific coast light heavy
weight grappling title at the ar
mory last night, but only after
Ernie Piluso, Portland Italian,
had knocked himself out In a
power dive that missed Belcastro
and catapulted him through the
ropes and onto the floor.
It was a wild, rough match,
with Belcastro getting the ini
tial fall ria a Boston crab after
Piluso had him all but out with
flying tackles. Piluso came back
to bust Belcastro to the mat with
Eonnenbergs for the second fall,
and was well on his way to re
peating when he missed one and
ended in a heap. Referee Ben
Sherman counted him out at the
ringside.
A clean, hard semi-final wound
up in a draw when Ben Sherman
refused to take the match after
dropkicking Herb Parks to the
mat. Parks, unintentionally hit
low by Sherman's quick kick,
couldn't come back and the match
was Sherman's for the taking but
he refused and asked that it be
called a draw.
Sgt. Kenneson was too much
man for young Joe Lynam in the
preliminary, taking the first and
deciding falls with half Boston
crabs. Lynam got the middle fall
Tia a leg bar.

adventure last night, in which he
not only was a king but Ben Hur
as well, and had four spirited
horses to drive.
"I led the team in hitting and
driving runs," he continued as he
checked off foodstuffs in his fa
ther's produce warehouse. "What
do they want me to do? Stand on
my head?
"The fielding averages aren't in
yet but I think I was first or sec
ond among first-basemen In the
league." '
Reported to have received $15,
000 last year for his assistance to
the Giants, he would not reveal
what he was offered this season,
explaining "it's a secret."
It was supposed to be a secret
that he was the masked, bejew

Ben Hur last night at the annual
ball of the Virgilians. Identity of
the kings of carnival balls is nev

word got out today.
Zeke came riding in a chariot
into the ballroom of the munici

Vandals Make
Valiant Drive
Oregon Forced to Recover
Lead Three Times in
Course of Game
. EUGENE, Ore.. Jan. 9.-f7P-Oregon,
defending champion all
the. way from the northern divi
sion of the Pacific coast confer
nece to the national collegiate
basketball association, emerged
ffora its second 1940 game vic
torious tonight. 46-36, over Idaho.
For the second consecutive
evening, the visiting Vandals gave
the Webfoots reat cause for
anxiety until another late second
half rally thrust the champion
safely ahead. Oregon led by a
scant three points. 19-16, at half
time. Idaho wag in constant revolt
against the Oregon rule in the
first half. Led by Ramey and Hil
ton tbe Vandals matched the
Oregonians shot for shot, held
the lead three times, and were
never more than five points be
hind. Dick, Sarpola and Townsend
contributed the points that erased
a 14-13 Idaho lead and put tbe
Oregons ahead at halftime.
Ron Harris, injured in the Idaho-Oregon
State game last Sat
urday, returned to the court in
the second half and scored four
field goals in five minutes aa
Idaho worked Into a 24-22 ad
vantage. Matt Pavalunas "canned" a
long one for Oregon to tie the
score and Dick, who led the scor
ers with 16 points, restored the
Duck lead with a lay-in shot.
From then on the Webfoots were
not to be denied. Dick scored 10
points in rapid succession as Ore
gon ran the advantage to 39-28.
The Ducks "coasted" iu.
OreRon abandoned lt shifting
zone defense style for an out
right man-to-man to check Harris
during his spell of high fever.
Dick, giant Oregon center, finally
halted the Idaho star's scoring
rally.

Billy Conn Opens
Heavyweight Bid
NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-P)-Th
Billy Conn fistic follies, a distinct
artistic and financial n c c e
throughout the first year of it
run in Madison Square Garden,
starts its second year tomorrow
night with a new heavyweight
backdrop instead of the old light
heavyweight scenery.
Just a year ago this week, the
22-year-old Pittsburgh Irishman
pulled into town, virtually un
known outside his own neighbor
hood. He upset Fred ApentolL a
1 to 4 favorite, repeated that tri
umph, and, before you knew it,
be went skyrocketing on to the
light-heavyweight championship.
Billy probably will weigh 178
for this one, only a pound over
the light-heavyweight limit, but
still a good four pounds heavier
than in his last ring appearance.
Should be get by Cooper, he'll
probably tangle with Johnny Pay
chek of Des Moines, and go on
from there up tbe trail be is con
fident will win him a meeting
with and victory over Joe
Louis.
