lpor;;: Sparks B j RON CESBIELL LIGHTWEIGHT BOSS V - By Jack Sords Take a little advice from Pappy Gemmell, you Bearcats back from the "Bomb Bowl": Preserve your clippings in scrapbooks, for you and the San Jose State gridders have a hun dred times as much reason to "Remember Pearl Harbor" as the rest of us even if you didnt know what the blazes was going on until after it was over . . Twenty or SO yean from bow your "Bomb Bowl clippings will . mean much more than those of the boys whoU be playing in the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange or Sun bowls this Thursday. Just think how you'll be able to make Junior's eyes bur out by shewing- him yarns of how yon were eating breakfast In Honolulu December 7, 1941, when bombs began to fall! .... And, if some Oregon SUter, Fordhamer or Duker begins to bore everyone around the club with his exploits In the New Tear's day, 1942 Rose or Sugar bowl fuss, TOU can take the conversation away from him with the story of Pearl Harbor. Gene Stewart, for instance, can tell about how he was much more scared of the guys carrying guns on guard duty with him than he was of Japanese bombs ... He can tell them, as he did me, of the lieutenants who came into the JJ"cked-out guard house after a J stint on duty, pointed his sawed- off shotgun ceilingward, which was in the direction of the sec ond deck bunks in which the San Jose boys were sleeping, started to eject the shells and shot right tip through a mattress which, just by chance only, had no one re' dining upon it. CEfiARDt BY MAtN AS TMe Salem. Oregon, Tuesday Morning, December 30, 1941 PAGE SEVEN Keep Those Records! Youll be able, if you keep those clippings, to show a record of your talks with the Wake island boys who flew into Honolulu the day after they'd been bombed off their island . How, as you've told me, they said the Japs first came in bombers to level the island, then in a wave of fighters to machine gun everything in sight . . . And how, within an hour after the bombing started, they took off. from Wake in the Clipper, which the Japs had mrssed, and headed for Midway, which they prayed they could reach before the Japs bombed there also: v . - You'll be able to show doubt ers the record of how the Wake evacuees, who same into your betel barefooted and bare - headed and. In the main, dressed In shorts only, told you they refueled at Midway and sot away Just 20 minutes before the Japs struck there. Youll be able to show how you were still on guard duty when your coach, Spec Keene, notified you to be aboard the evacuee ship for home within an hour and a half , . . YouU have a record of bow you assisted in attending the sick and wounded aboard that ship enroute home, through sub marine Infested waters . . . And youll be able to show how your arrival home brought out more Salem citizens than anything that happened to Oregon's . capital, with the exception of Willkie, in 10 years . . . Yes, I'd hang onto those clippings! O Jacob for Bevos? Could Ray Jacobs, manager of the championship Western In ternational league Spokane In dians last season, be slated for tklppership of the Portland Beav ers in 1942? . . .
