Huskies' Seniors Vow - - ByJackSords To Whip Bucks Again Sport Sparks By RON GEMMELL "So you are Superman, eh?" jibed the Salem high gridders at Everett's Larry Hatch in Thursday's football fuss here . . . "That's right," came' back Hatch, and forthwith proceeded to run right over the Viks . . . Standing with hands on hips in the middle of the line, Sampson, Everett center, would survey the Viking line, a big grin on his mug all the time, and say: "So this is Salem" . . . Then, bang! Mickey Barnes, the low-running, hard-driving little 155-pound fullback, would slam through the center like a shot out of a can non. They rubbed it In, those cocky Everett kids, who seem ed to be very much in love with the came of football, but well they might for they were really rood . . . Best prep team your correspondent has seen in four seasons . . . Weak in some departments, yes as In the punting department but on the whole a very classy high school outfit which knew what it was about all the time. Hatch adequately lived up to advance notices by passing for 14 Doints. running for 12 more and kicking one, but the 165 pound halfback had fine help from a line that knew how to charge low and to make blocks stick and from pass receivers who were adept at feinting defenders out of the way . . . The 17-year old Hatch, who undoubtedly will add another 15 pounds in the next two years, should have a college football future. O No Disgrace While Coach Harold Hauk's team was pretty-badly outclassed by the Everetts, so have been some other better than fair ball clubs, and the whipping most certainly isn't any disgrace . . . Actually, the Vik club's record of six wins in nine games this season is considerably better than could have been expected of the Ereen outfit which began the schedule ... It must be remem bered that End Rollie Haag was the only returning regular from last year's line, and that Half backs Dutch Simmons and Rex Hardy were the only returning backfield regulars from the 1940 team. As it is, the Viks finished in a three-way tie for the No Name title with Albany and Corvallis, and their only real black mark is the loss to Cor vallis . . . That one should never have occurred, but a combination of circumstances includinr a sloppy field and the absence of Bud Coons, reg ular fullback, from the lineup led to their loss. Only once in the four-year his tory of the No-Name league has a team earned clear-cut claim to the championship . . . Milwau kee, in 1838, earned the title with a sweep of the league, but in 1939 the Maroons tied with Eu gene and in 1940 Albany tied with Salem . . . However, this year is the first in which the leaders have suffered a loss In 1939 Milwaukie and Eugene won all other games but tied each other 13-13, while last season Oliver, Minus Two Regulars, Gloomy Over Ducks' Chances By GAIL FOWLER SEATTLE, Nov. 21-P)-One of the closest inter-school feuds in Pacific Coast conference football rivalry resumes Saturday when the big University of Oregon eleven ? invades Seattle for its annual game with the University of Washington Huskies. Since their first game in 1900, Washington has won 16, Ore gon 14, and four games ended in ties. Since Coach Jimrnv Phelari came to, Washington in 1930, the teams have won five apiece and tied the other. RAY SEGALE Oregon Guard i mi . twrr in j i in iJ"wSi f -i. i . DICK ASHCOMB Oregon Tackle fx, The Huskies rate as slight fa vorites over their slightly bulk ier opponents in what should be another terrific battle in the series. Washington stHl nurses slim Rose Bowl hopes, but needs . victory over Oregon and USC, to retain its claims. Oregon, by beating Washington and Ore gon State, and provided Stan ford should lose to California, could throw the race Into a five-way tie, with Washington State's giant killers and Oregon State also figuring. The Webfoots arrived by train Friday morning and Coach Ger ald "Tex" Oliver planned a work out on the Washington stadium turf in the afternoon. Tex said Elliott Wilson, big center, and Bill Regner, regular veteran end, would not play, al though both accompanied the squad. They've been nursing in juries. Frank Boyd, halfback re putedly a better punter than the Coast conference's leader, Ore gon's own Curly Mecham, didn't make the trip. He was banged up in the Santa Clara game. Tex gloomily predicted his squad would be "lucky to hold Washington to three touchdowns," and please pass the salt. On the Washington side of the ledger, thirteen Husky sen iors, who haven't lost to Ore gon yet, got together and made a solemn vow to wind up their collegiate careers with an un blemished record against the Webfoots. The Huskies won here two years ago, 20-13, and again at Portland last year 10-0. Only Washington cripple was Earl Younglove, the veteran end still ailing from a leg injury re ceived in the California tilt. It was considered likely he'd be in i the game sooner or later,' however. ; . 1 I f i , ii Ijt I rtisttRsr-rwo VEARs Birr I U .-rvS A I Aew 6ACK By iaWURiCS I If M: 1.

Missouri, vndefated since its opening loss U Ohio State, is well in front as the leadlnr rush in r offensive team, with a 290.3 yard averare per rame.

O Where to, Note? Overlooked in Willamette's easy waltz to the Northwest confer ence championship was the fact that the Bearcats whipped their last three circuit opponents in a apace of 13 days; . . . P.S. They no doubt could have done the same job in three days ... Be that as it may, the 'Cats rolled up 123 points to seven scored against them from November 7 to November 20, inclusively, in beating CPS 55-7. Paficic 40-0 and Whitman 28-0. Now what? . . . That is the question which confronts Wil lamette on the football front.. The keen machine that Spec Keene has built is much too rood for, the Northwest con ference, as thai conference now stands, yet support for any larger program is not in sight. , . .

Right now he is all wrapped up in preparation of the green book, that comprehensive bro chure that tells everything about the league and its Inmates except how- the Dodgers happened to lose the world series. That would come under useless information, however, as everyone knows by now the reason was the Yankees. How the Dodgers got in the world series would be more to the point, anyway.
