' : In trying to determine whether to try the Willamette one of these : foggy nights or charging it all Up to luck, bad luck, Coach Tommy Drynan yesterday announced that Fullback Bob Weber; although out for practice again, would be side lined with his bad leg against OC. Center Bob Boardman is also back . but will be parked alongsideWeb ' er on the bench "at least most of the game." And the shoulder bump picked up by Quarterback Eugene Lowe in the Albany game has him seeking shelter another week. Oh yes, and Curt Coe, who was com ing along nicely as a wingman, suffered a dislocated shoulder while hunting the other day, which renders him inactive fo Friday also. ' ; Barring ' additional casualties this week, it'll be Benny Lambert at quarter "Triday, Bruce Rogers at center and Wayne Weston at full. The balance of the starting lineup is the same, but Drynan has his fingers crossed. c Inuin I - i I - I ; Unpaid ad dept.: For three years the St. Louis Cardinals have been taking Grove Defender Multiple Vitamin Pills. For three years the Cards have been salting away world series gold. Last spring the St. Louis Browns followed suit and all summer gulped the same pills. Result? Browns vs. Cardinal in 1944 series!

And what with i the woes which have befallen one Thomas Drynan these days at the Villa, he's already sent in an or der, a big one, for his footballers. . . . Speaking of Drynan's foot ballers, here's one for' the books: End Curt Coe, who Tommy claims could become' quite a wingman, not only, pigskins for the Viks but is also the official yell king ' at SHS!

Then in the Albany fame Drvnan veiled far Co tn re. place Barlow at end,' but found his wingman over leading the yells instead! . . '. Those Viks can do the dangdest things, wot? .v. As for Coe, he can't do either now. Dislocated his shoulder while hunting the other day tis said . . . Re these vitamin pills, mebbe Coast League President Clarence "Pants" Rowland took a few before he divulged recently for all to hear, "The Pacific Coast league seeks major league rating, and I feel certain that after the war it will get it. The PCL is not trying to pop off, to make demands, because if there is a league in this country 'very eager to work with constituted ment of baseball, it is our circuit" "B" class PCL in action this, last vitamin pills to unleash such optimism as that ; . . New Pro Grid Loop Probably Losing Much $ Shirts lost and found dept: "Are Hhe new Coast, professional football teams making any money?" we've been asked. A wild guess, but we'd bet its's an emphatic "no"! Briefly, things don't add up to anything but red ink.. The salary limit per club per. game is sup- posed to be $2200, or in round numbers, 1100 per player per game. Forty-four players per game means salary:, expenditure of: $4400 (unofficially of course) and the figure doesn't include the salaries due coaches, assistant .coaches, doctprs trainers and a few etcs. To date in Portland, for Instance, the top crowd has been 6374 custo-. mers. At say $1.50 per head on average, that would amount to a $9381.00 gross. Stadium rent, officials,, travelling expenses, '20 per cent for government taxes deducted at least) and you reajly don't .have much left other than to pay . 6374 amounted to the best crowd Crowds in. other' league cities with the possible exception of bne or two. And tales from the same one or two cities intimate that respective clubs are paying fax over the $2200 "ceiling", -For example, Clippers Back Kenny Washington, Sunday, incidentally, is hauling down $600 an outing. Another says he's getting $750.'
