C Yards to Set Up Winning Score in 4th Quarter
-i " By AL LIGHTNER
' KELLY FIELD, OREGON CITY, Oct. 22 (Special )-Salem high's Vikings ran into a deter
mined and scrappy Oregon City, eleven on this slippery gridiron tonight, but after Being fright
ened by the possibility of one of the rhatjor upsets in prep circles this semester managed to beat
out two touchdowns in the second hatf. and squeeze out a well-earned '12-6 victory. Well eajned
because the "win-less
Pioneers
were making uieir'lnost deter-
, mined bid this season and came
within 'an eyelash, of tieing the
score at least
-But the Viks, after that third
straight victory 1 and . knowing the
woes which go with long losing
streaks; roared' back 'after a first
half which saw them gain exactly
22 yards from scrimmage and
snatched the nod. '
, It was Travis Cross, the Vik
' quarterback who "took personal
. ; charge of the two six-pointers
scored by the Brynari clan. He
hurled a five-yard aerial to
. End Don Barling-ham late hi the
" third period for touchdown No.
- X, and then crashed over his
wn left guard midway through
- i the fourth Quarter for No.. 2. . -
. ..'Here's how the two scores"' were
set up: Coming back after the
halftime rest stop the previously
. i sluggish Viks fired up like a hook

' Little Everett Staats grabbed a
; lateral from Cross and scooted 18
yards to highlight this series.
After Oregon City took over
, on Its own 20, three plays failed
to gain, so the Pioneers booted
dead to Salem's 33. So all-fired
up were the Viks now that Just
nine plays later they were in
Oregon City's end sone Cross
. pass to Burliugham the ; ninth
Play. '
The nine plays: Staats at left
- end for three; Reinhart around
left end for 12; Cross at right end
for 10;' Purcell at left tackle ; for
seven; Staats at left tackle for 17;
Purcell at right end for eight;
Reinhart at the middle for one;
i Purcell at right, tackle for four
: and then the pass. -
i After so many long ground gain
ers the Pioneer defense was suck
ed in and left wide open for the
pass. ''.-. ' -'"-'v;, : ' '-.
Staats a distinct pain : ia the .
i yardage yielded column for the
' Pioneers all night, failed to buck
; over the extra point by a foot. . !
No. 2 came as a directresult of
. a beautiful 77-yard gallop by Purr
cell this also helped, along; by
.' Cross and some hefty ..blocking,
f Bill Randall punted to Cross on
the Salem 10 and he . started -toil
' his left. En route he slipped ; the
ball ' to Purcell and ' Les lit out
'. around the well-sucked in Pioneer
left flank. He was on his way un
molested down the east - sideline
when the terrific blocking he got
r most of the way suddenly back
' fired on the Oregon City 20. A
Pioneer was blocked across Pur
v cell's path, and in trying to hurdle
the red-shirt Purcell slipped and
- fell on the 13.
'' Three plays flsxled, but.
fourth down Reinhart passed to :
Jeir TLangan en the Oregon:
City 1-ymrd line. Purcell lost
. one and gained It back In two '
: tries, and then ; Cross Quarter- ,
back-sneaked Into the end. some.
- His pass for the extra point was
Incomplete.
- But all this had to be done the
hard way from behind since the
Pioneers counted in the second pe
riod. Outplaying; the highly-favored
Viks all the way the first two
quarters,' the Pioneers finally got
a break with three minutes left in
: the hall yiM; . -

and trotted back to the 1C Two

ped back and pitched 'a 12-:
yarder to End Dale Steenson.
He gathered it in and powered.
- ; his way over Just 30 seconds be-,
. fore the half time gun.
, Although the Viks all but over?
ran" the Pioneers during the last
two periods, the latter had 1 one
more thrust : left in the fourth
quarter and it just about nullified
everything the Viks had accom
plished. -i
A sustained drive, which saw.

Rickey Beats Arowid il Busli
In Naming Lippy's Successor
By SID FEDES '
NEW YORK, .Oct. 22 Cfl5)-
- Branch Rickey, the man of a
few thousand well - chosen
words, wouldn't spill even one
of them today about the Brook
lyn Dodgers' manager for 1944,
giving yon the clear-cut ' im
pression : that the only thing
definite- that nothing is defi
nite yet .
- The result was the official
Dodger family, the boys and '
girls connected with the ' club '
was caught today between a
fancy unix program and a
, whodunit' ; mystery. And pxe
accepted answer was that EJck-
,ty haant yet made , up his'
mind who shall be head snan
f the .Bums.
c . Most of the talk centered
around five leading candidates
One of these, naturally, was
Leo "The Lip Durecher the
most recent lncumbent'The Up
found the pink slip- in his pay
envelope four days before the
season ended, but was told he'd
hare a chance on the open mar
ket U talk his wsy back, So he
showed up In town a couple of
days ago to start talking.
Also well up on the list, so
, the f word goes. Is Chuck Dres-
sen,' the shm al-s tea ling Dodger
coach. The tip Is he commands
a Jot of 'Rickey's respect now,
especially since Branch has dis

but -no reason waa given. It Is
thought he too faced a neces

The club, 25 In number but not
as strong as it could be otherwise,
pulled." out on the 3:55 train.
Guards, Charles Strong and Rex

were taken along in place of. the
three who stayed behind. 'i
Head Coach Duke Trotter in
timated that Jack Bunnell. 200

start In Boho's spot at fullback
and . that Ed HUlis, who inter
cepted a pass and ran 4f yards
to a touchdown against Oregon
last week,', would start at cen
l ter. Trotter, bemoaned the loss
. of Scheibner since he looked
upon the big center as I his
"steadiest player." , J '.
The rest of .the Navycat start
ing lineup will probably be Bob,
