The National professional football league may have its Elmer
Layden, the baseball world its Judge Landis and "yes" man W.
G. Bramham, the Pacific Coast conference its Ed Atherton and
the third Reich its Adolph, but the newly formed Portland War
Industries , Sports league also
has a czar, according to what we
see ia the papers. He's R. L.
Matty Mathews, Willamette's
coach before Spec Keene took
over and lor the past few years
athletic boss of the Portland Pi
, lots as well as their football,
!; basketball land baseball and
track - teams. ; Matty, has been
appointed commissioner, slang
for czar, of the association and
' his first official statement was
one that should make the Rose
, City war industries institutions
athletically minded to some ex-
tent. - '
' "We're going to start out with
baseball, but that doesn't mean
we're coin to be strictly a
- baseball league," announced Matty in his first communique. "Aft-
- er the summer we hope to spread to
football then well give them football. That goes for all other sports
too. We're sure of having a bowling league in the winter and already
have plans for basketball.'' s ;
Do You Think You Could Do It?
" Let's ret m thing straightened eat right new. Last Sndiy
after the Timber Wolves and the Salem All-Stars divided their
deableheader and la so doing scored 39 runs and meted out S3
. base hits aggregately, we were the target of ,a eoaple means and
', groans, such as: Them soldiers looked like they were all in that
second game they played like a hooch of Softball players,' and
"If they're snpposed to be a bunch of exprof esslonal ballplayers,
why don't they play like same?' 's -l '-S
Now the army doesn't need
this respect but as we have the
- the Timber Wolf players now and
in some things, well ask you the
ers and groaners. How would you like to spend a week going through
Infiltration courses, drills, bivouacs, marches, etc., and then trpt out

Referee Matt Adgie stopped it
after Armstrong had landed a
savage left cross that made Sha

He waved Shapiro to his corner

Armstrong, a 3 to 1 favorite.
weighed 140 ft to Shapiro's 1S5.
The victory was Armstrong's

He ' rained It by simply over

In this round Shapiro managed
to stay at long distance and get In

the picture changed in the sec

Leslie's thinclads defeated
first time in history Monday afternoon, wirining the eighth and
ninth grade titles from the Pioneers in the annual track! est be

enth grade competition, however,
which' was - enough to give the
north the Intramural : crown for
the year, with five city titles to
four for Leslie.
Leslie's ninth poured it on Par
rish by a 50-1 S count Monday .and
the Missionary eighth won by
28 H to 21tt score. The Parrish
seventh triumphed 24-17.
Outstanding.- performances of
the meet were turned in by a

Parrish, Cavender copped-three
firsts the St, 10 and broad

Leslie points. Kilmer broke the
city eighth grade high Jump

better than the winning mark
turned in by the ninth graders.
Cavendera time of :11J in the
100 tied the city eighth grade
mark set by Owen Garland of
Parrish in 1941. Everett Staats,
with three firsts for Leslie, stood
