Staats Scores Two Touchdowns Vikings Snap Lbss Skein in 20-8 Win Injured Regulars Return, Spark ; Comeback Drive Against Pioneers Playing like rock-'em sock-em Vikings of old and welcoming back with open arms three of the injured regulars, out for the past two weeks or more, Salem high's touchdowners rambled to a 20-8 victory over Oregon City on Sweetland Field last night And the Viks, guilty of panty waist touch downing off and on the previous three outings, were actually a 20 8 better ball dub than were the Pioneer as they snapped a losing skein at three straight and notched their second No-Name league ver dict' against as many losses, " "' t Coach Tommy Drynan's gang had to do it the hard way, too, by coming from behind. For Dan 'Jones' Pioneers started out as if they were to plaster the Villa men at least 40-0. Impressing no body with their' first series of plays, the Viks lost the ball on downs on the OC 34, and bingo went the "T"-toting Pioneers.

Salem wobbled again as two passes from center, sailed unmo lested through the Vik backfield as signals-were mixed, the second one, from the : Salent 4-stripe at the outset of the second , quarter, bounded completely beyond the end line for an automatic safety. ) But with this 8-0 count against -. them and an apparently bad. eve ning ahead, the 'Viks suddenly fired up with doubtlessly the hot test hustle-bustle they've had, all season!

Randolph Eleven Talent-Drunk Also 1 : While on the subject of star-studded football lineups, the Ran dolph. Field Fliers, rated by. a few ham and egg "experts" as the top team in the nation, needn't! occupy the second seat to any elev en. Here's just a few names you needn't furrow your brow to recall, al of ,'em backfielders for the Randolphs: Bill Dudley of Virginia, Dippy. Evans of Notre Dame, Bob Cif era of Tennessee, Vike Fran cis of Nebraska, Pete Layden of Texas, John Goodyear of Washing ton Redskins and Joe McCoy of Alabama. And,' although he isn't good enough to be first string, but is owner of an 82-yard touchdown romp against Southern Methodist last week, Oregon's. Jake Leicht the feather-footed prepster from Stockton, CaL, is also a Randolph ball-toter. Quite a" backfield,-wot?. - t v ' - - Such a thing as being too good even in football, however. The seven coaches in the Southwest conference - who have a say-so on who plays who in the Cotton Bowl (Dallas, Tex.) January 1st have already insisted the Fliers be kept out of it next New Year's Day. "They're out'of this world," is the reason. ' - - ; t - Are the Huskies as good as their point-a-minute play against Whitman and Willamette indicates? Here's a slight hint they may not be: Fred Osterhaut, moved into a first-string . guard slot by "Pest" Welch this week was good enough , when at Willamette . in 1942 to lay only spasmodically as a reserve for Spec Keene's championship eleven. Of course he may have improved since then, but at' least It's a case for conjecture. Teddy . Ogdahl "Wasn't so hot his first year at WU either, but there wasn't a college coach who wouldn't have fondled him " dearly even .with his bad knee in '42. So improved Osterhaut or no, only, way to. find out how good the Huskies are is to wait 'till Monday night Southern -Cal's Trojans will check 'em the hard way. .......... , Indians Swamp Molalla, 26-0 MOLALLA -(Special)l Coming to life with roar the second half, the Chemawa Indians, who have managed -to outplay every foe this season, stormed over an ineffective Molalla Buckaroo eleven here Fri day, 28-0, in a Duration league football game. Although the In dians rammed to within Molalla'a 10-yard line four times the first half, it wasn't until the third Quar ter .that Fullback Cal Simmons capped long drive with a tackle smash to touchdown, i Soon after this Quarterback Merle Williams galloped 47 yards for another on a quick-opener and then followed with a 45-yard pass to Halfback Pecard to set up the third. Williams also bucked this one across. A series of pasties from Williams to Logan, Ashman and Pecard set up the fourth coun ter and again the' triple-threat Chemawa quarter smashed it over. Molalla penetrated only as far as Chemawa's 30 throughout. It was Chemawa's first league win. ; . j r CHIXIAWA:. Ashman, le; Francis, It; SatUcum. Ik Liberty, c; . Fxitzler, (Cf rg; G. Miller, rt: T.
