Willamette Will Play j Basketball; 'Far as Gas Takes Us' j- - Keene ! . You bet we're going to have basketball this winter, quoth emphatically one 'Spec" Keene Wednesday as he cinched up his moleskins for a session of Bearcat football practice. 'Might not be able to do much travelling, but we're definitely going to -' rf"-""' 5 ) 'SPEC KEENE and the rest will be divided into intramural teams. Well travel just as far as the gas will take us if we run out in Woodburn we'll play in Woodburn, if we run 'out in Albany we'll play in Albany but we're -going to have basketball." Alang with many others, one thing Spec can't fathom is why the government, stressing physical fitness as it does, makes no specific gestures toward facilities J for travel, etc.. for the thousanas f college and high school ath letic teams. Being a firm believer in competitive sports as a moral builder for both competitors and fans "alike, Keene joins an al-j ready large ' contingent of sports lovers who 1 feel that so long as Washington insists that competi tive sports must be kept alive and that athletic contests are dis tinct moral builders, certain al lowances should be granted to in sure their future. But of course none which would hamper the war effort. " The Weekly Picks The weekly selections with a warning don't bet on any of the following, as the bread line is a frightfully cold place these days brrrrr. Willamette-Pacific No use going into detail on this one would only prolong the inevitable. Remembering what terrors befell the CPS eleven, Keene'fi "Cats should have a mo notonous good time Saturday about 40-0. j Washington-Navy PrefHght Frankie Albert, Bobby Gray. on; Nello Falaschi, etc., are un defeated and they'll still be after the Huskies try 'em. Say 15-0. WSC-Idaho Too bad they don't give the Vandals a point or two, send them home and then' throw the Coug ars in with the UCLA Bruins Saturday. The Ukes have the day off and such a game would settle nee and for all just who should play in the Rose Bowl. But they won't do those things in the PCC, so the Cougars, between yawns,' ' about 40-0. (Fie on he who kill ed round robin.) OSC-Stanford According to past games the Indians have been hot one Sat ; urday, cold the next. Last week they were hot and tipped Wash ington. This should be -a cold weekend, and since Lon Stiner ' 'discovered" Johnny Beauchamp1 ; as a capable left half, well say , the Orange,' 13-7. Oregon-USC A certain let-down follows such a win as the Ducks' over UCLA, and being so far away from home ' -won't help . particularly against ' Trojan team playing in the Coli seum Robliii .will" continue to . romp, but Mickey McCardle has -' built up quite a reputation as a skitterback , himself.

Bob - Kennedy's scoring lead may be endangered in this one, as Jim Jurkovich will all but run out of Memorial sta dium IF. Stub Allison will let him play. Cal by half a hundred. St. Mary's-Santa Slara v v4 Wowl This one's a combination of Oregon-Oregon . State,' Stari-:ford-Cal, Salem-Eugene,' Independence-Dallas and USC-UCLA all rolled into one.

Furthermore, every boy in school will be invited to turn out for basketball the best bunch will be our varsity, the next v our Bearkitten quint , ' Jack O'Brien, Old-Time Ring Great, Passes NEW YORK, Nov. 12 lJF) Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the colorful fistic character and ring great who admitted he was the best light heavyweight in modern boxing history, died Thursday. He was 64. The clever, sharp-punching ring-general, who started as a lightweight, fought his way up to become undefeated world light heavyweight champion and an unsuccessful claimant of the heavyweight crown although he never weighed more than 170 pounds succumbed in Polyclinic hospital after an operation. O'Brien's real name was Joseph Francis Anthony Hagen. Lost Only 5 Times Since his retirement in 1912 after 16-year career during which he lost only five of 184 fights O'Brien had been one of the leading exponents of the re ducing system of physical culture for business men and women. - As a youngster of 138 pounds, he whipped the great Dal Hawk ins in 25 rounds in 1899. The same year, he fought a 25-round draw with the then lightweight champion, Frank Erne. He knock ed out Bob Fitzsimmons in 13 rounds for the light-heavyweight crown in 1905 and promptly turned his back on the - title to campaign as a heavyweight, yet he never was more than a slightly-heavy middleweight. Ketchell Boat Best But of all his fights, the most famous was his first tussle with the Michigan assassin, Stanley Ketchell a brawl that is still re garded among old-timers as one of the all-time ring classics. They met in a ten-rounder in the old Fiss, Doerr- and Carroll horse mart, down on 24th street near Lexington avenue, and after nine rounds of bristling battling, Ketchell turned loose a haymaker in the tenth. It caught Jack on the chin, lifted him clear off the floor and deposited him across the ring, with his head in the cor ner sawdust box that preceded the present-day ring bucket. Jack was out cold throughout the ref eree's count, but at "nine", the bell saved him. So the fight is listed in his record as a no deci sion affair. Praised Loaghraa . Until he died, Jack always maintained that of all the light heavyweights, only one ever came close to jbeing, his equal. That one was his . old .Philadelphia "sidekick". Tommy Loughran, the boxing stylist who held the title from 1927 through 1929 and then retired undefeated to campaign among the heavies. Mickey a Mother Dies ; BOSTON, Nov.' 12 ) Mrs. John Cochrane, 74, mother of Lt. Gordon "Mickey Cochrane, form er manager of the Detroit Ameri can league - baseball club, ' died Thursday in New England Bap tist hospital. Cochrane, permitted leave from his duties as athletic instructor at Great Lakes rubral training sta tion, arrived in time to spend the last few hours with his mother. He was a Boston university foot ball star before he became a maj or league baseball player.

"With backs George Zelllck like Fawcett and Hammett and linemen such as StammT Banducci and" Norberg make Stanford a dangerous team anywhere, and the "T" is doubly effective on a dry field, re marked Luke Gill, Beaver back field coach who scouted the Stanford-Washington game last week end. Team in Top Shape - Trainer Del Allman commented that the team' should be in 100 per cent physical condition . for the trip insofar as injuries were concerned, but he appeared wor ried about the" numerous ' colds breaking out among the players. Bob Libbee, left half, and Choc Shelton, fullback, both on the in jured list following the Montana game, were in uniform and work ing out Wednesday. ' Wednesday's final scrimmage was confined mainly to defense against . Stanford plays, with the first string line and second string backfield working together against their opponents on the offense. Starting Eleven Same It appeared likely the starting lineup would be the same that opened the Montana game last week-end, with George Zellick and Bob Proctor at ends, Lloyd Wickett and George Bain at tackles, Frank Parker and Orv Zielaskowskl at guards and Bill Gray at center in the line, and Boyd Clement at quarterback, Lee Gustafson and John Beauchamp at halfbacks, and Joe Day at full back in the backfield. Ho! Cougars Fear Vandals PULLMAN, Nov. 12-;P)-The Washington State college Cou gars may be at the top of the coast conference and the Uni versity of Idaho next to the bottom, but several WSC foot ball players said Thursday they won't be overconfident when they meet their rivals next Sat urday at Moscow. These players pointed to the statistics of last year's game when the Moscow team outgaln ed but failed to outscore their traditional opponents. The Con gars won 26-0. "We couldn't figure out that Idaho offense, observed big Nick Snsoeff, left end. "They threw passes all over the place and had the linemen sucking ont of position on every play. I think this Idaho game will be the toughest of the season. Bob Erickson UW Casualty SEATTLE, Nov. 12 -JPy- Half back Bob Erickson, Washington's punting and passing ace, was in the university infirmary Thurs day, and Coach Ralph "Pest Welch said he was not counting on him as a starter against the St Mary's Preflight eleven here Saturday.

Bearcats Bristle in Lively Scrum for PU Date Saturday Willamette's bristling Bearcats, fresh on the scent of an other Northwest conference football championship, ripped through a sizzling practice skirmish on Sweetland Thursday in preparing for their annual game Saturday. Despite the fact that Willam ette will be odds-on favorites to rout the Bad gers Saturday, there seems to . be no overconfi- w en c e in her N .Ji anks.
