Whitman, appearing jittery in the first half, fumbled on its own 31 while the game was less than three minutes old, and a pass from Buddy Reynolds to Bill Reder was good for 20 yards. Al Walden's 11-yard run around right end and Reynolds' plunge netted the score. In the second penoa Willamette threats were stopped twice before Gene Stew art passed to Bill Kelly to set up a score and Neil Morley went over from the five. Six plays were enough for the first score in the third per iod, Walden making the tally, and a spectacular pass play from Reynolds to Ted Ogdahl netted the Bearcats their final touchdown.

While the Gulls didn't gouge out any super-abundance of yard age, they turned Salem's passing attack into one of their best of fensive efforts. They intercepted six of the 14 passes thrown by Salem, three times as many as Salem completed.

This year there have been sev eral instances in major games in which the films' played a promi nent part The Northwestern- Minnesota contest for one. The pictures verified a penalty called on Northwestern, but on Minne sota's disputed touchdown play the camera drew a blank.

Just a week aro Paul Brown of Ohio Stat came reeling out of the reel boose with the statement that one of Wiscon son's touchdowns was scored as a sort of P.S.; that the Bad gers made It on a fifth down. Ohio State won the game, so the claim wasn't pressed. The odd part of it is that the 12th man and his third eye can be just a wrong as the officials on the field.

This corner strings along with war-scarred Ken "in this shindig, largely because the old skater from Decatur, by way of Norfolk and Washington, always has looked particularly good against belters.

Hatch and Mickey Barnes carried the ball to the four, from whence Hatch again passed to Bacoka for the touchdown and then to Gertsen berger for the additional point to make the score 14-0. The Gulls rammed two more tallies across in the final period, taking advantage of Salem's at tempts to get somewhere by the aerial route. Dutch Simmons fumbled Hatch's punt on the Salem 20, where it was recovered by Bacoka just as the third Quarter ended, and on the second play of the final period the Gulls hung up their third touchdown. Petersen first got 11 yards on a reverse at right end, and then Hatch angled off left end, outrunning three would-be tacklers to hit pay dirt This time Anderson, regular quarterback who played but little due to a leg injury, came in to thump home the conversion point Hatch hammered over from two yards away for the final tally after Center Sampson had intercepted Coons' pass on the Salem 39 and the Galls had banged their way 37 yards. Hatch this time plaeekicked his own conversion point. Hold to a net of 71 yards on their running attack by the hard charging Gull forwards, the Viks repeatedly tried to go over them with passes only to have their aerial efforts snatched out of the air by the alert Everett second ary. The Gulls made far more yardage on interceptions of Salem passes than the Viks made on their forwards, which was 13 yards on two completions. With Hatch pitching and Ends Bacoka and Gertsenberger receiv ing, the. Gulls completed passes as easily as they intercepted those tossed by Salem. The territory patrolled by Center Bob Seder strom was particularly vulnerable, as both touchdown passes and both conversion point tosses were completed therein. The Gulls were easily the best high school team to show here this season.
