But that too will be a thing of long past when "Rainbow starts charg ing at the Beaver line Saturday. Kelly Shows Why We saw last Saturday what "Spec" Keene meant when he said, "Dave Kelly is the best end I've had at Willamette." Despite the wind-whipped whitecaps and storm-swept lagoons prevalent on Pacific's gridiron, and being deck ed; out In a football suit which scaled 60 pounds because of its sponge-like qualities, Kelly caught four passes out of four pitches to him 25, 19, 32, and 19 yards, and the ball was as elusive as those apples you used to bob for on Halloween. Mr. Kelly was down right mean with his charging line play,- also at one time a little too much so and got penalized 15 yards for being a little too rough. But he managed to torpedo every attempt to sail around his end. Another game under such conditions as Saturday's and Willamette will be taking out life- insurance' on the boys. There's a downright possibility of some prostrate lineman drowning before they could find him . with the grappling hooks.

Crosley's views were expressed at an annual meeting of stockhold ers. He reported the 1940 world champions had incurred net loss of $451.33 during the 1942 season. Many Changes Needed "Improvement in -the attractive ness" of the 1943 team can be ac complished without any wholesale changes in personnel, said Crosley. Anticipating "older men on our squad next spring," Crosley said he had instructed General Man ager Warren Giles and Team Man ager Bill McKechnie "to empha size the physical conditioning in spring training" to insure its best possible condition when the sea son gets "under way. Recalling President Roosevelt's own evaluation of the game as a war-time recreational necessity, Crosley said the spot occupied a place similar to non-combat ser vice units "such as regimental bands." "Baseball WiU Help" "Baseball can and will put Its shoulder to the wheel, cooperate cheerfully in all restrictions im posed, in my opinion, continue to offer in 1943 the recreation and healthful outlet for emotion need ed now more than ever before," he 'declared. Drafting of 18-and-19-year olds is certain to affect minor leagues, Crosley said, and for that reason "we must bide our time and await developments" before planning operation of the Reds' farm units.

Wiese and Fekete are line-crushing full backs. While Fekete and Sarringhaus are the conference's leading scor ers, Kuzma is rated by Ohio scouts as one of Michigan's greatest all around ball players. A shade un der Tom Harmon, former Mich igan great in running ability, Kuz ma surpasses him in other de partments, in the opinion of Ohio observers. Grid Coaches List Session ATHENS, Ga., Nov.
