BELL. FIELD, Corrallis ( Spe cial) A - silTery, 10-gallon milk can and a 11 "to 0 Pacific Coast conference football Tictory were stowed away hi the Oregon State Bearer here this erlsp, clear au tumn afternoon as an estimated 8060 Dads day fans looked on. The win, accomplished oyer an J air-minded but , ground -weak! Washington State Cougar eleven, kept the light of championship hopes burning in the eyes of Bea rer supporters, while the can, pre sumably, went into a trophy case until the 1941 battle between the Washington and Oregon state colleges. - If any one' Orangeman should get bis monicker engraved on the oversized goblet, which Is to be an annually rotated gift from the Tacoma alumni to the winner of thl game, this writer's rote goes to Bob Dethman. Reason: It was Dethmaa who dived over the WSC goal line from one yard out for Oregon State's first touchdown, which came with but six minutea and six seconds left to play in the first half and which culminated a 7 J yard power march; it was Deth - man who scooted 37 yard around end Wtae .4wo-yard. Una.. W set up the second tonchdownr with but one minute and 66 seconds of the ball game remaining; and it was Dethman who intercepted a des perate Con gar ' pass to run 69 yards with the football that he, two plays later, nipped into the arms of Norm Peters for the Bea rers final touchdown as the clock read 17 seconds to play. Turns Bare Victory . Into Historic Rout r Vm . I'd vote for Dethman. for he was today's opportunist the jaa wno mrnea wnm cuu w lly have been a mere, hard-earned 7-0 win into a rout. Not only a rout, but the worst beating an Oregon State team has given the Cougars In 66 years. Only once before did an Oregon State team whip the Cougars as badly in -1905, second game of the rivalry, when they did.it 29-0. At no time, either before or since, baa a Beaver team scored as many as 21 points on a Cougar team. A skookum defense, thai will undoubtedly get Its severest test from Stanford next Saturday at Palo Alto, coupled with powerful end sweeps the Cougars couldn't top, put the game away for Ore gon SUte. 1 The Beavers halted the WSC ground attack cold-glvlng it Aniv 3ft varda in the entire same and either batted down or in tercepted enough of the 36 passes hurled by Billy Sewell and mates to keep that potent part of the Cougar offensive out of scoring , ground.

MERQLER Speculation over leadership at the coming legislative session here apparently ended yesterday as far as the senate is concerned when Senator Douglas McKay of Salem announced he would not seek the presidency , of that body and would Instead give all his support to Senator Dean Walker of Polk county. Senator McKay said he was withdrawing in the Interests of harmony. If Walker thereby is assured of being elevated to the senate presidency, it will mean the selec tion of a new chairman of the all-Important ways and means committee, on which he has been a leading force in recent years.. The speakership of the house, on the other hand, was still the subject of a battle between Wil liam McAllister of Medford and Robert Farrell, Jr., of Portland, with both claiming success was near. Farrell was reported claim ing the necessary 61 votes were in his pocket but the McAllister forces denied it.

President Roosevelt was ribbed about the third term and other matters and replied with an off-the-record speech at the annual dinner f the National Press club tonight. The chief executive found on the wall opposite his table a huge cartoon depicting him holding: a loving cup In the shape of the United States and asking, "1 won it three times, don't I get to keep it now?

As for the attitude that repub licans should take, the senator said the party, although, it lost the presidency, was "not required to surrender Its- principles . nor to suspend its critical vigilance." .

Leader Oi Britain Dies NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN ODEHAM, Eng Nov. lO (Sunday) -Neville Ctuunberlaia died peacefully last night at his coontry house near here where he had been gravely HI.

The above dispatch reached Salem at 1:45 Sunday.) HESlJDa, Paul Hauser9 Column John 8tern, 26 years old, sound in mind and body and as yet un married, had seen 22 Armistice days go by. They had never meant much to him un til now. John Stern was In his third year on Novem ber 11. 1918. That day was probably tne t . " -v earliest he could r e m e m b er. It waa -the day the whistles had blown at all the mills and on the boats in the bar- rui a. rmm. bor. the day when his father took him downtown to see the paper floating from the windows. Thev told him "the war was over. It didn't mean much to him. Since he could talk and under stand there was always "the war tn the talk of. the grown-ups and he knew that the older boys al ways played at war and that the other side, usually mythical, was always "the Germans. . At three he knew the. Germans were bad, but be dida't know why. So the war was over and grad ually the bora stopped digging trenches In vacant lota and went back to one o' cat. John Stern grew and there were other Armistice days. They were days when the soldiers marched and all the veterans, some grow ing paunchy as the years went by. John Stern never quite under stood about Armistice day. In school or somewhere he learned about "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of - the v eleventh month." It was the day the war ended . and that . was - that. " He never could understand the f uas people 'made about it. It didn't mean anything to him. All he re membered waa the whistles. John Stern thought It -was funny, lie laughed at the veter ans, the way they marched bow. rag, tag and bobtail and no sem blance of step or. order. . He laughed at them, some pompous, some fat, some Just ordinary hn- He dida't understand. That was yesterday. Today was November 11, 1940. It was Armis tice day again and John Stern was watching, another parade. But It was different today. ' There was a .war oa today, as there; had been for over a year now. There was a new and ter rible war on and Its grisly ten acles were stretching out across the onen ' water of the Atlantic closer and closer. : It was different today.
