National Sports-5 week rf Editor Marty Berg ques- tions all 1724 sports editors in'tfie "- j country for their answer to: "Should this year's Army - Navy grid game be moved from Annapo ,lis to Philadelphia and staged as a War Bond tilt?" The entire poll is to be sent to army and navy officials, and despite the good it , won't do, well bet right' now 1723 Yt wield and aye-aye . . . How many times have Oregon and : Oregon State played in the Rose Bowl? Three twice Oregon and once PSC. Oregon beat Pennsyl vania 14-0 in 1917 (Hollis Hunt- 'ington will remember) and lost to Harvard 7-6 in 1920. Oregon State's only but easily remem- bered outing was the 1942 Duke game at Durham, NC, won by the Beavers, 20-16 . . . "What'd ya think of Simmons?" was probed or visiting Coach Lon Stiner Saturday after Fullback Floyd' Sim mons flamboozled the Whitmans. And Stiner, with a postwar building plan, of his very own, didn't even hesitate, "Sorta like to get ec quainted with that boy." . . . (P. S. What college coach wouldn't?) . , . Come, to think of it, mebbe Huskies Boss "Pest" Welch "wouldn't" after next Saturday!. . . One of the Sportsweek polls by Editor Berg reveals (as of August 31) that 56 of the country's peerless sports prognosticators pick the Cards to wallop any series foe four straight and 473 more claim it'll take only five games. If Pittsburgh could play the Cards from here on in, wonder what they'd all use for alibis? . . Incidentally, the poll tells that 91 per cent of the nation's sports editors peg the Redbirds to take the world championship in no less than six games J ,..;;--. ' Rah, Rah, Rah for Leslie-Parrish Move :.' It it'll do the kids themselves and future Vik Villa elevens half . as much good as it did us to even write about it, the announcement that Leslie and Parrish junior highs are now back to even better than their- pre-war status in athletics is already the big athletic news of the year in the village; We' have always harpooned those who were responsible for curbing the L-P junior classics but still felt badly when the senior Viks turned in a fruitless athletic season. For we be lieve and firmly that in order for a high school to produce winners it must first obtain material which has tasted teamwork, fundamentals and competition before stepping up. Those essentials should be equip ment passed out in the junior highs and grade schools. And now that future Viking teams are to have the benefits of ath letes who were previously taught their ABCs by qualified coaches at Leslie and Parrish, there cannot help but be more marks in the SHS win column. True, winning games for ol SHS isn't the only important item to be realized by the new move, but itH help. Perhaps now the visiting coaches and athletic educators won't be so free with the laughs . when they review the Salem setup. We've heard many say it was the poorest in the state when it could be best Now it's back in the groove. Congratulations to- Messrs. Frank Bennett, Gurnee Flesh er et al we believe their move was masterful. . f Coming Up: One Brand New Prep Grid Loop Sign of the time: Jefferson high Principal-Coach Pat Beal reports that the lil Lions of the South are on the pioneering path again: Last spring Beal introduced track to the Jeff high kids for the first time and now it's to be U-man football! But better yet, the groundwork has been grounded to build up a brand new prep football league a la the Duration and No-Name, this to boast such as Jefferson, St Paul, Geryais, Aumsville and Staytod. Up to this year only Gervais (to our knowledge) has fielded an 11 -man football team while the rest have been playing each other 6-man style. Beal furthers that a league meeting is due this week out of which will blossom a definite "yes" or "no" on the new project Here's hoping it's a "yes", and if so, itll probably be called the Marion County "B" Loop, same handle belonging to those teams when they battle off their winter basketball title. Tis only a thought, but wouldn't it be nice if Leslie and Parrish junior highs could edge into such a circuit? Yes, wouldn't it! Mask,9 Riser Notch Rasslin9 Victories in Armory Outings Snapping their respective rubber with quickie falls all over the place, the "Grey Mask" and Jack "Pin-up Boy" Riser last night won ' the two top bicep brawls in the lightheavy mat show at the armory. The "Mask", making his debut here, and a first class meanie with a hard head, made' short work of Portlander Ernie Piluso in two straight falls of the main event and Riser, as expected, copped the show with a thrilling excun sion against Bodacious Buck Da vidson, the bowlegged villain. In the opener Paavo Ratonen took the only fall in 30 minutes to best Pat "Rowdy" O'Dowdy. The "Mask", who many claimed had a steel helmet hidden be neath his grey cover, used a head- to-head "hold" to soften up Piluso The former world champ, who like all meanies cringed when the Portlander returned the heata bonked Piluso repeatedly on the forhead j with his own shrouded forepate and wound up both falls by hopping up and down on the fallen Italian. Took six minutes for the first and five for the sec- . end. ; Riser and Davidson provided enough fireworks for, two shows and jammed all within eight min utes and 11 seconds for the three falls. Davidson won the first fall after a short series Tt typical meanie stuff in 1:08. Riser came back to nab the second after hurl ing the bowlegged heel from the ring five times and following up with a series of Sonnenbergs. That took 1:11. The popular blond wound jt up not too long after by hurtling headlong over the ropes from the floor to flatten Davidson. Theirs was a dilly of an outing. 26th Victory ByJNewhbuser G6psMrat ; Navyca ts Stress Pass Defense, Search for Right Halfback; Brownies Drop 6-0 Nod to Nats in 11th .
