Didn't see even so much as a resemblance of the tradition
sharpened "axe" during the Salem-Eugene scuffle Thursday
night, so ttie ornery cusses who are blamed for harboring same
apparently aim to keep right j"--on
harboring."
' Since this corner pleaded
with whoever might have the
thing to please turn it over in
behalf of botn Eugene ana 2a
lem student bodies, we've re
ceived only one response. "Why
don't you mind your own busi
ness? Try and get the 'axe.'
Abruptly, 'Keeper of the Axe',"
was the sum total of said re
sponse. (To the point, to say
the least.)
Considering that message as
authentic and sincere, the two
schools might accept a sugges
tion by Eugene Register-Guard
sports boss Dick Strite. He
would have a new axe made and
malities, and then start all over again. 'Course, it wouldn't be the
original, but it could be officially adopted as same.
The new trend in football
coaching park in the press box
and chart proceedings, then run
down at half-time and report the
bird's eye view is now employed
bv Eugene's "Hank" Kuchera,
Fritz Kramer's replacement. But
the, "scout" Thursday night was
Assistant Coach Duane Mellem,
who only last year guided ath
letic activities at Leslie junior
high in our village. Mellem was
even busier than his hopefuls
down on the field the first half
and then fled for the dressing
room at the rest stop. Don't know
what he pointed out to the boys,
but if it was that sleeper pass
play they pulled on Salem the
very first play of the second half
the one which went 70 yards to
set up the conversion point which
whipped the Viks then the adop
tion of the new trend paid off
right handsomely.
Tuneless Trio
Report from the south seas,
where "Red" Groves, once
prominent in Perfection bowling
circles, and Ken Cater, former
Salem high basketballer and
village "Mickey Mouse Pro
gram" vocalist, are now sta
tioned, tells of the pair Joining
radio star Lannie Ross in a ren
dition recently. Nothing more
than "we really had that guy
out of tune when it was over"
was the outcome, so we're told.
That and "we're receiving The
Statesman regularly now."

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12-(JP)
Prof, R. H. Nottleman of the Uni
versity of Washington arrived here
today, the first member of the Pa
cific Coast conference committee
to appear for Sunday morning's
meeting to discuss plans for the
Rose Bowl football game New
Year's day.
The committee has authority to
recommend which teams are to
play in the annual post-season
classic, and Nottleman is expected
to argue ardently for his school
as the logical western opponent.
Washington was left with no
team of any consequence to play
this season when all other mem
' bers of the conference's north

and the Huskies figure they are
the cream of the coast, especially
in view of previously -unbeaten
Southern California's loss to the
San Diego Naval Training Sta
tion last week.
Those expected to attend are
Nottleman, Arnold Eddy of South

the Rose Bowl interests, Al Mas

California and two advisory mem
bers, Bill Ackerman of UCLA and

On the Long Road Back
Parrish Sweeps "Touch" Grid j
Playoffs With Leslie Elevens j
Leslie vs. Parrish junior high athletic rivalry, on the road
back to what it wa3 before wartime curtailments abolished the
"little Civil wars," flared again yesterday when the respective
7 th, 8th and 9 th grade grid champions played off "city titles."
It was a big day for the northern
Pioneers, as they swept all three
contests.
The Pioneer 7th graders
turned in a 12-0 win at Parrish
when Ellsworth scored two
touchdowns. He galloped 50
yards with an intercepted pass
for the first and received a pass
from Paul for the other.
Putting together a scoring pass
play, Bellinger to Osborne, and a
safety picked up on a Leslie fum
ble, the Parrish 8th graders whip
ped the Southerners 9-0 at Par
rish. The big game of the three be
tween the respective 9th grade
teams was battled off on the
Leslie gridiron with the Pio
neers taking the nod 13-8.
Leslie scored first when Taylor
intercepted a pass and ran 20
yards to score. But Parrish came
right back with two six-pointers
and a conversion to lead 13-6 at
halftime. Boggs pitched the two
scores and the conversion with
strikes to Hendrie and Weese, the
latter on the paying end of a
touchdown and the conversion.
Leslie scored a safety In the
second half, but couldn't penetrate
the Pioneer defense for more than
that.
It was announced following
the playoffs that a varsity aU
star touch game would be play
ed between the two schools next
Friday en the Parrish field.
Teams will be made up to 24
players selected from each
school. Bob Keuscher will coach
